Class History Our stay at Winston- Salem State College seemed short and we shall describe our four years at the college in four scenes. Scene I The first scene opened when we entered Winston-Salem State College. We joyously began a week of orientation by students who would be graduating the following year. Many of us came across students we had met during high school days. After our week of orientation, we climaxed the week with our Freshman Talent Show . The upper classmen had arrived on the campus and were eager to see what we as freshmen had to contribute to the college. The curtains rose and Emmett Marty Robinson stepped out on stage and his personality flowed all over the audience as he introduced himself. Dorothy Stafford had the audience on pins andneedles when she sang her rendition of The Time , accompained by Bessie Wagoner. She returned for at least eight bows. Following her on the program to complete a marvelous evening of entertainment were several other classmates. We did not let our talent drop after out talent show. Many of our classmates joined the choir. Oraetta Beavers and Dorothy Stafford had the opportunity to sing as soloists during one of our Vesper programs. Dollye Kendall was a substitute pianist. Others in the choir were William Waters, Albert Rush, Barbara McCra.ken, Donald Walker, Beaufort Washington, Reginald Wiggins, Pauline Matthews, Barry Fonville, Sandra Taggart, Alice McCallum, Frances Price, Viola Durham, and Gloria Greene. Our musical talent did not end with the choir.We traveled on and those who could not sing joined the college band.Joyce Henderson, Glenda Joyner, and Betty Fleming were chosen as majorettes by the band members. The students that chose to play instruments were James McNeil, Evelyn Moore, Clarice Warren, Hester Strickland, Joyce Williams, Marinda Mumford, Sara Jones, Clara McClinton, Vivian Leak, Lottie Sanders, Gloria Adams, and Charles Scotten. The freshmen were easily recognized by the beauty the young ladies of the class possessed. Opportunities for making selections of these young ladies of the class possessed. Opportunities for making selections ofthese young ladies presented themselves when our home- coming celebration came into view. After much deliberation, Annette larkins was chosen as an attendant to Miss Homecoming, the Sigma's sweetheart was Pauline Matthews, and the lovely Joyce Pratt was an attendant to Miss Ram. Things were happening pretty fast. We finally became accustomed to the daily routine of classes. We studied very hard and strove for academic achievement. Many of our class members pledged sororities and fratemities. During the year we as freshmen achieved many ofour goals and looked forward to another prosperous year. The curtain slowly closed as scene one came to an end. Scene II The curtain rose on eager sophomores ready for another year of studying and participation in various activities. We knew the routine of registration by now and went through it in a breeze. An event that we looked forward to as sophomores that did not occur during ourfreshmen year was the election of class officers. We were given a talented and efficient advisor, Mrs.Wilma Lassiter, who was able to guide us to success. Under her leadership the follow- ing persons were chosen as offi cers, Roland Penn, president, Emmett Robinson, vice-president, Mamie Lenior, secretary, Jeanette Richardson, financial secretary, Nathaniel Tollison, treasurer. Our sophomore nursing students began to attend to duties at regular and lengthened intervals at the hospital. They were overjoyed at having duties in the local hospital and took their work very seriously as nurses should. After a short time, we were again faced with the responsibility of choosing an attendant to Miss Winston- Salem State College.After much evaluation and observation, we decided to elect the lovely Joyce Pratt to serve as sophomore attandant. The gorgeous Julia McCollough was chosen to compete for the title of Miss Ram. Gloria Tyler was Miss Omega and Ruby Bolden was Miss Lampodas. Sports took a turn for the best. We had Ostelle McKnight and Sam Edwards playing football and made outstanding achievements during the football season. After football season, our great basketball team had three hard playing sophomores to carry it to many victories. Those basketball stars were Richard Glover, Willie Curry, and Charlie Simmons. During the C. I. A. A. basketball tournament, we won the championship with the aid of our famous classmates. We had Benjamin Cureton and Marty Robinson representing the class in track. This was an outstanding year in that we had many of our classmates crossing the biuning sands into Greekdom. To mention a few we had the following young ladies to become members of Delta Sigma Theta: Iris Higgins, Lucia Daniels, Ruby Bolden, Inez Gooden, Bessie Wagoner, Mary Roseboro, Joyce love, Gloria Tyler, Ida Knox, Paula Gwynn, Yolander Miller, Virginia Brown, Jeraldene Barnes, Neta Harshaw, Josephine Ballard, and Alice Sprinkle. This was considered one of the best lines to cross over into Delta land. We had the Zetas with a line led by the magnificent singing performers, Dorothy Stafford, Hester Strickland, Pauline Matthews, Mary Ramseur, Frances Price, Marinda Mumford, and Ernestine Tate. In the swinging spring, the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority dug deep into our class and took from it a fine share of young ladies who were Geraldine Omega Pete, Virginia Rogers, Betty Thompson, Joyce Pratt, and Joyce Henderson. Alpha Kappa Alpha has been sparkl- ing ever since. Although Alpha Phi Alpa was unable to get but one, it certainly couldn't have gotten a finer young man than James McNeal. With- out his leadership, the Alphas would be suffering. The great Omega Psi Phi Fraternity secured from our group of young men, Nathaniel Tollison, Roland Penn, Paul Perkins, and Sylvester Wooten. The chapter was grateful to have these young leaders. Kappa Alpha Psi was fortunate to get John Duncan and Walter Gurley from our class. Since their induction, we have enjoyed candy, apples, and oranges at the games. We as sophomores were allowed to choose a candidate to run for Woman of the Year . The talented Dollye Kendall was chosen by popular vote. Naturally all of us were thrilled. 22
