In sincere love and appreciation, the graduating class of 1954 dedicates this annual to their Alma Mater, St. Paul s An Institute which we feel will always be a part of our lives, for whatever we do or accomplish from this stage forward will be the results of the teachings and principles she has bestowed upon us.

I commend you for a job well done. You young men and women will very shortly, I hope, receive the diplomas of this revered institution. For four years you have been exposed to her educational pro¬ gram. I believe most of you have really enjoyed the larger part of your work. If this be true, it reflects credit on the institution and certainly a little on you. After you receive your diplomas you will go out into what we call active life. Each one of you will follow your own career. In these careers, you will be tested and your Alma Mater, following the well established tradition of colleges, will speak highly of you and claim great credit for your training if you achieve distinction or even success, and forget all about you if you fail. You must succeed because we must not forget you. Sincerely yours, EARL H. McCLENNEY President Class Advisors MRS. NELLIE P. RUSSELL “The moving finger writes, and having writ moves on. Nor all your piety nor wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a line, Nor all your tears wash out a word of it.” MR. WILLIAM WHITEHURST May the ardent and faithful endeavors of Mrs. Nellie P. Rus¬ sell and Mr. William Whitehurst be a guiding light and a step¬ ping stone to a future of great attainments that are barely sus¬ ceptible to our meager brains. We have been taught, we have been guided and when found wrong, we have been reprimand¬ ed. So with the memory of these two conscientious and love¬ able persons, may we walk into a world of many opportunities. Ad Manager J. M. RIDLEY Sport Editor W. T. HOLMES Editor Business Manager R. G.

HUNT Assistant Dean of Women CLASS HISTORY As we look back over the road we have traveled during our four years spent here at St. Paul’s we feel proud and self-confident of our accom¬ plishment. The 126 Freshmen who entered St. Paul’s in September, 1950, were a gallant and adventurous group. We had come here to continue our search for the truth. Freshman Orientation Week gave us the opportunity to meet our fellow students, our faculty members, to acquaint us with the buildings on campus and to make adjustments to college life. The Chapel made a dominant impression upon most of us. From it, we could find courage and strength to obtain the things for which we had come. There were many other things to remember from this year but the most lasting was the Freshman Debutante’s Ball. It was an honor to be intro¬ duced into St. Paul’s Society. When we returned as Sophomores, we felt like “know it alls. We thought that we were authorities on everything. Some felt the superiority of Seniors. Although many had dropped out of our class, we were still a strong group. Those child-like characteristics of our first year had declined. Oh, the Junior year we felt so proud to have gone thus far. We possessed the Junior’s air of dignity. Many obligations had to be met this year which gave us better chances to work with one another. This year was highlighted with the Junior-Senior prom which was a success. Now, we come to our last and best year. It was an exciting event to see St. Paul’s win its first football game in thirteeen years. We hope that the team will continue to win games in the coming years. As we think of our departure, our hearts become sad. The memories of St. Paul’s will always be with us. We have reached some of our goals but we know that our journey is not completed, for the road to learning is a life’s process.

Prophecy Some time ago as I sat before the fire thinking of the many pleasant hours that we have had together, I lapsed into a reverie, and as I dreamed and dreamed and dreamed the future of the class of 1954 revealed itself to me. I immediately arose, took out my crystal ball, and ah, what did I see?-Lee Turner , William Holmes and Coolidge Jones proving to a distinguished Mathematical convention that the Einstein theory was only a mere fancy. Did we ever think such could happen as we sat beside them in class only a few years before. As I tilted the ball slightly whom should I see but Mary Flenoury, Ernestine Smith, Othello Dickerson, Virginia Walker, Elma Patrick, Evelyn Seldon and Margaret Tuck¬ er completing business arrangements to manage the department of education of the United Nations Headquarters in New York. Before this vision completely disappeared I saw Ben Turner, Ella Moore and June Backus operating a tailoring corporation in Pasadena, California with an income of over $200,000,000. a year. The Rudolph Robinson C. P. A. Corporation with home office in Cullen, Virginia need efficient secretaries and not withstanding the long list of applicants with degrees upon degrees our charming classmates Gwendolyn Duncan and Melvina Cunningham were the ones selected. As I twisted the ball and again there appeared Beatrice Garland and Margaret Cole¬ man conferring in their offices at Vassar College about the poor English background of their Freshman Students. As I continued to gaze into the future I saw Oscar Riddick and James Allen signing contracts to renovate the fabulous Buckingham Palace. As soon as this business was completed a cable was sent to an old friend Jack Ridley offering him the supervision of the electrical work which I am sure he accepted. As they were returning to their hotels whom should they meet at the entrance but Grace Farmer, Lillie Smith, Nancy Parham, Virginia Farrar, Helen Fitzerald and Enolar Goode who had flown to London to model for Queen Elizabeth and her sister Princess Margaret. The 1954 graduates are certainly doing their share of traveling, for Lucy Moseley, Flossie Graham, Mildred Long, Lucille Johnson and Vivian Hamlin were at that moment visiting France. As the tourists disappeared from view I could see three very distinguished looking gentlemen conversing in the hotel lobby about their speaking engagements in their tour to Palestine. These persons were Father Powell and his new appointed associates Robert Neals and Robert Patterson. As I sat gazing and thinking of the athletic abilities in my class the ball revolved again and there appeared the great Harlem Globe Trotters with their much sought after coaches Wallace Beckett and Milton Strickland. Even though my prophecy must come to a close I foresee a wonderful future for the rest of my classmates whom time would not permit me to mention. I know that they are still “striving not to equal, but to excel.” Last Will and Testament STATE OF: Virginia TOWN OF: Lawrenceville COUNTY OF: Brunswick DATE: May 24, 1954 We, the class of 1954, possessing sound minds and bodies, and deriving our intelli¬ gence from our creator, do declare these articles to be our ultimate will and testament.
