In Memoriam The Rose Beyond the Wall Near shady wall a rose once grew, Budded and blossomed in God's free light, Walered and fed by morning dew, Shcdding its sweetness day and night, . . . a crevice in the wall Through which there shone a beam of light, Shall claim of death cause us to grieve And make our courage faint and fall? Nay! Let us faith and hope receive- The rose still grows beyond the wall. In Memory 25 for Their Dedicated and Loyal Services Miss Mary E. Clybum, our classmate Miss Mary M. Spencer, our college nurse X x ll

Class Histor Our sojoum at Winston-Salem Teachers College has been as the four seasons. We shall describe them as such. It was Q, and we, The Class of 1963, e nt e re d the gates of Teachers College with colorful hopes and dreams. We entered with t.he zeal of an August downpour, for we were eager to leam, therefore to serve. During the first week, orientated to the campus which we soon learned to love. After having taken the entrance examinations, we found that there were numerous co-curricular activities in which we were free'to participate. Some of them were: The Band, The Choir, The Student NEA, The NAACP, The T. C. Players Guild, The Student Council, The Sunday School Choir, The Charm Club, The Student Nurses Association, and many others. We had quite a task when it came to choosing our class officers, for among us were many able leaders. Nevertheless, we chose the following persons Frank Kimbrough, president, Rosa Tribble, vice president, Carlena Hampton, secretary, and Charles' Mayo, treasurer. Our student council representatives were Charles Mayo and Frank Kimbrough. We were also introduced to our lovely and talented advisor, Mrs. Eva H. Miller, who through able leadership, kept the seasons rolling. The Freshman play, For Whom The Telephone Rings, starred Re athe r Clinkscales, Mary Boykins, Cecilia Harrison, Raymond Rogers, and james jarrell. We rated as having the best play after the results of the judges. We found that we have many athletes among us also. Some of them w e re: Shively Willingham, Roger Adams, Charlie Mayo, Tim Autrey, Howard Blount, Harold Bell, Hubert Hargett, Frank Kimbrough, Reginald L i v i ng st on e, Bamey Hood, Lutheran Wiley, Harry Lewis, Richard Hansberry, William Bowles, Donald Wills, and Bemard Bell. There were many others who were able athletes. , Charles Lassiter, Patsy Sanders, Helen johnson, Dorothy Ellerbee, Clara Thompson, and many others joined the band. Ouryearwas colored even more by the coming of the Annual Teachers College Homecoming. Miss Margie Harris was chosen as the Freshman attendant to Miss Winston-Salem T e ac he rs College, and Miss Yvonne Price was chosen as the Freshman attendant to Miss Ram. Our y ear was climaxed by The Annual Spring Concert given by the choir, among whom Gail Caesar, Dorothy Finger, and Juanita Falls were soloists. Winter came and we returned as Sophomores, knowing that a year of hard work lay ahead. We kept our same able leaders as class officers and student council representatives. It didn't talre us long to re alize that we had great talent among us. Larry Womble played one of the le ad ing roles in the Greek Drama, Electra, given by The T. C. Players Guild. From among us also was elected The Lady of The Year, Miss Rosa Tribble was the lovely lady. Many of us set our sights upon Greekdom during this year, and we had many pledgees. For the nurse s, the crowning event of the year was the capping exercise. Among those proud nurses were: joan Richardson, Mary Boykins, Carlena Hampton, Doxie and Edna Robertson, Dorothy Dunn, Mable Lee, Helen Saunders, Jeanette Belfield, jean Tate, Dorothy Russell, and many others. Miss Patricia Wall, our attendant to Miss Teachers College, m ad e a fashionable appearance at our homecoming festivities. Miss Mary Boykins was the sophomore attendant to Miss Ram. We worked doubly hard during this season, re alizing that we were one step closer to our goal. With the help of Mrs. Miller, we closed this year with reasonable success. At last Spring came, and we entered as juniors and what an eventful year we had. Our enthusiasm had not waned for we knew that we would soon become seniors. We begun the year with a bang by e le c ting the f ollow ing class officers: Reather Clinkscales, president, Larry Womble, vice- president, Barbara Philpott, secretary, and jane Banner, treasurer. Our student council representatives were Haywood Wilson and Andrew Clinton. Homecoming had a special meaning this year, for we were responsible for choosing a candidate for Miss Teachers College. To our exhilaration, we were victorious, and Miss Rosa Tribble became our queen. Attending Miss Ram was Miss Annie Bullock, and Miss La Bonnie Carter was chosen as an attendant to Miss Student NEA. Some of us made many academic achievements that year. Selected for Who's Who in College and Universities were: Rosa Tribble, Reather Clinkscales, Claudia Warren, Patricia Wall, Frank Kimbrough, Haywood Wilson, Gwendolyn Bailey, Gail Caesar, and Gloria Tate.
