SCOTT In this edition of The Tiger, we have endeavored to pre¬ sent to you pictorially a record of the year’s activities and func¬ tions of our campus life at St. Paul’s. Having a deep and abiding faith in the future of our in¬ stitution, we feel that greater things are in store for her. We wish for our president, Mr. Earl H. McClenny a long and fruitful administration and a most gratifying realization of his hopes and aspirations. M. ODELL SANDS t edicciti ion ROBERT A. BRYANT With gratitude and humility, we dedicate this, the 1953 edition of The Tiger to our advisers, who have shared with us our hardships and our joys. Through their concentrated efforts in stimulating in¬ terest in our class and in striving for the welfare of our Alma Mater, they have won the love and admiration of all. We shall ever remember their sincere e ndeavors and their kindnesses in aiding us to complete successfully, a four-year college career. My dear Friends: It is always a privilege to commend a group for a job well done and I take particular pleasure in congratulating you for this splendid yearbook. I am not unaware of the difficulties that you encountered in accomplishing this task, nor of the tenacity and ingenuity that you displayed in resolving them. This achievement not only reflects credit upon you who directly participated in this project, but also enhances the prestige of the entire school and adds lustre to every life that has touched your own. In a few days you will finish your work at this institution and join the honorable ranks of our Alumni Association. I know that you will recall the years spent here as among the most important and best years of your life. For here you have drunk deeply of the heritage of generations and here, too, you have greatly enriched that heritage for the generations who follow. Yet in a broader sense you will not have completed, but merely commenced the great work which life has placed before you. The re¬ sponsibility devolves on each of us individually and collectively to guarantee that this century truly becomes the century of triumphant Christian living. Saint Paul ' s stands as it has always stood, ready to assist you in every possible way toward the realization of this aim, and our past experience makes us confident that this feeling is fully reciprocated. Again I congratulate you and wish you continued success. Sincerely yours St. Paul’s Memorial $t.pAu . s POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE j FOUWSO 1884 POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE FOUHDIO 1888 . . . and domedau, we ' tu om in g again 1.

WRIGHT FORRESTER VALENTINE 19 add Four short years ago, the majority of us, the class of 1953, entered the portals of St. Paul’s Polytechnic Institute as Freshmen. We came, ambitious and enthusiastic with an unexplored land of learning confronting us. We found at St. Paul’s an atmosphere of goodwill, comradeship and democratic free¬ dom which at first was somewhat intangible; but which after four years spent withip these walls, we know as the spirit of St. Paul’s — a spirit that is the axis upon which our college world turns. We can never forget the pleasant Septem¬ ber afternoon when we assembled in the St. Paul’s Memorial Chapel and listened to words of welcome and advice given us by Chaplain Jones. Despite the encouraging remarks from our President, Chaplain and Faculty, we were intimidated by taunts of “Freshies” hurled at us by the upperclass¬ men. Never-the-less, we were determined to be the best class that entered St. Paul’s, so we applied ourselves with admirable zeal, to the tasks that were before us. When the call for volunteers for the choir, campus clubs and athletics was issued, several of our number responded. In October, our faculty advisers deemed us sufficiently intelligent to organize our class, and we selected as officers: Frederick Friday, President; Fred Thomp¬ son, Vice-President; Dorris Russell, Sec¬ retary; Martha Scott, Business Manager; and Bernard Coleman, Treasurer. All too soon, the first school year ended and we in turn dubbed the new entrants “Freshies.” During our second year, many of our classmates dropped out. However, we were still striving to do our best scholastically, and as a result many of our names appeared on the honor roll. The Sophomore class of¬ ficers were: James Wright, President; Fred Thompson, Vice-President; Allen Burwell, Treasurer; Dorris Russell, Secretary; Carlton Hazell, Chaplain; and Martha Scott, Business Manager. September of 1951 arrived and with it the knowledge that we were Juniors and all that the name implies. Most important was that never-to-be forgotten day, when our class or¬ ganized and elected: Carlton Hazell, Presi¬ dent; Mary Baskerville, Secretary; and James Wright, Treasurer. Several events marked this as our most important year. Our social activities were climaxed by the Junior- Senior Prom which was held in the Kirby Auditorium on May 28. The Auditorium was beautifully decorated; the music was ex¬ cellent and everyone had an enjoyable time. Thus, another year rolled by and we entered St. Paul’s as illustrious, intelligent, dignified and all important Seniors. Real¬ izing that this was our last year, we were determined to make it the best. Class or¬ ganization took place early and all officers of the junior class were re-elected. Our President, Carlton Hazell, appointed com¬ mittees to many duties connected with our graduation. As we spoke and thought of graduation, our joy became mingled with a touch of sad¬ ness. We had experienced the joys of. being members of an institution with high ideals and high spirit, and we were sad that our days here would soon end. Knowing that this year held our last chance to prove our ap¬ preciation, we participated as whole hearted- ly as possible in the various activities. The time has come for us to depart but the memory of life here, we shall carry with us. The same true spirit and the same high ideals and the characteristics of our partici¬ pation in the activities and classes while at St. Paul’s will surely inspire us to lead a life of humbleness and to seek an earnest en¬ deavor. 20 Elementary MARY BASKERVILLE Elementary Education Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Advisory Council F.

Read what the palmist sees! Elora Fleet, Marion Neal and Dolores Thompson are teaching in one of the elementary schools in San Francisco. Mary Neal and Cath¬ erine Fuller own an elaborate food laboratory in Alaska. Fred Thompson and David Byrdsong’s Construction Company designed their building. Samuel Ellison, the building inspector, is employed by James C. Wright, Superintendent of Building Trades. Guess What? Lamar Sessoms has moved back to Texas to supervise the $95,000,000,000 oil wells of Wesley (money) Hall. Allen Burwell’s Corporation is one of his largest buyers. As the palmist reads on, she sees Evelyn Sears as owner of the largest fashion shop in Paris. Her models are Marcella Ward and Magdalene Leary. Sophronia Goods and Carrie Fitzgerald are directors of Music at Howard University. Barbara Fulford and Rosia Burke are comedians and are now on tour in Hollywood. Mollie Carter, Ella Frye and Dorothy Coleman are now Saints. Father Hazell is still converting souls. Appearing on TV is Forrester Valentine. Mediel Wallace is his business manager. Edward Brown has just invented a gun with an electronic eye. Robert McCoy, the great scientist has proven Galileo’s 1 heory of falling bodies to be a fallacy. Martha Barnes is still in North Carolina trying to solve the prob¬ lems of the younger generation. The palmist has now discovered that Salene Hardy and Nettie Reavis have eloped and are now living in Pasadena, California. Appearing on the scene, is George Evans, it is because of Joseph Rice, Ulysses Evans, and Dawes Orr that he is part owner of a con¬ struction firm known from coast to coast. Observing closely, the palmist sees a tall figure — ah, it is Lloyd Burton. He operates a chain of tailoring shops. The palmist is losing her power of concentration; 1963 is nearing its close. What happens now will have to be surmised. . . THE END MARY C. BASKERVILLE. CORLEASE BODDIE . ZETA RUTH BROWN EDWARD BROWN ROSIA L. BURKE . WILLIAM BURTON .
