CLASS IPOIEMI Dear Alma Mater, For four years we have struggled Through difficulty, toil and strife To make our stay here worthwhileg And a beacon in our life. Many who started out with us Have parted by the wayg But wherever they are Their hearts are here today. We glorify in our triumphg Our struggles were not in vain We've conquered in our trialsg To reach this higher plane. To you, dear Alma Mater We bid a sad adieu. To our teachers, advisersg Our friends and schoolmates, too. You have made our four years pleasant onesg Filled them with happiness. Without you we couldn't have traveled This rugged road to success. Our destinations are quite unknown, Or what life holds in store. We live in hopes of great renown For we know not what lies before. We are at the door of this great worldg For which you have paved the way. We tremble as we grasp the doorknobg Knowing that we'd rather stay. But, for today we forget the future, To render our last devotions trueg To you, our dear Alma Mater, Again, again, we say Adieu. -JOHN D. HARRIS 12

uClLASS SONG The days we hold so dear have come to an end, We are starting out on life's highway. But we will ne'er forget St. Augustine's as the friend Who helped us reach this goal today. So as we now depart we hope and we pray, Your love will guide us all the way. Refrain: Though we're leaving you Our thoughts will be with you, And whate'er we dog We will succeed. lLAS'll' WVlllLlL AND TlESTAMlENT We, THE SENIOR CLASS of St. Augustine's College, Raleigh, N. C., realizing that our college days are drawing to a close, take this time to bequeath to the undergraduates some of our treasures which we have accumulated during our years here. We request that our legatees guard and cherish them forever. To our Alma Mater we pledge our love, loyalty, devotion, and sincere appre- ciation for all that she has done for us. To our adviser, Miss Snodgrass, we pledge our sincere appreciation for her untiring effort in helping and guiding us at all times. To the faculty, our thanks for their helpful instructions and guidance dur- ing the years that we have spent here. We dispose of our most valuable assets as follows: We, the graduating class of 1945, leave to the student body our flunking marks in Biology, History, French, Sociology, and Business Math. Our lost pencils, empty ink bottles, and our most honorable seats in the grill, playing pinochle, are also bequeathed. We bequeath our chapel seats to the Junior class with the request that they fill them with regularity and always keep uppermost in mind the element of time. Thelma Wallace and Juanita Parker will their 3X4 club to Marilyn Miller and Mamie Shuler. Bernetta Horton wills her St. Aug. coat to any student who knows exactly what hour to reverse it. Doris Harris wills her piano practice room to Cynthia Thompson. Helen Craig wills her ability to keep a clean room to Ernestine Hopkins. Edythe Pierce- I will-not be here next year. Rebecca Bartley wills her petite lines to Francis DeYoung. 13
