Class History For the nurses, the capping exercise was an important event in our sophomore year. This was an outstanding exercise to highlight open house . Academically the class as a whole was doing very well. We were accustomed to study hours and had much to contribute to our classes. Geraldine Omega Pete was awarded a certificate by the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity for having the highest average in our great class. As the time for our sophomore year came to a close, we were able to look back over our year's accomplishments while pondering over our coming year as jtmiors. The curtains closed as we looked forward to a happy, prosperous, enriching junior year. Scene III The third scene of our college years opened with the curtains rising on eager juniors. Many of our classmates had the privilege of becoming big brothers and sisters to the freshmen during orientation week. Our nursing students at this time were well on their way to Crownsville Hospital in Crownsville, Maryland. From Crownsville they journeyed to Atlanta, Georgia, in groups of seven where their experiences were ftuther enlightened. The nurses were away for a period of one school term. While om' nurses were away, those of us on the campus were preparing to journey forward and carry on the work of the junior class. Our first task was that of choosing class officers. Among us were many capable leaders, nevertheless, we chose the following persons: president, Dollye Kendall, vice-president, James McNeal, secretary, Mamie Lenoir, assistant secretary, Glenda Joyner, financial sec- retary, Jeanette Richardson, treasurer, Nathaniel Tollison. Homecoming had a special meaning this year, for we were responsible for choosing a candidate for Miss Winston- Salem State Colle ge. From our garden of lovely beauties we had a very hard task of selecting a candidate, however, Ruby Bolden was selected. Helen Gore reigned as attendant to Miss Ram. The junior qualification tests were a challenge for us. They had great bearing upon future studies as well as past experiences. After three days of testing, all of us gave a sigh of relief and waited anxiously for the results. Many ofus made academic and religious achievements this school term.We had Iris Higgins, and Yvonne Jackson selected for Who's Who Among Students in American Colleqg and Universities. The National Honor Society, Alpha Kappa Mu, inducted the following members for the class: Geraldine Pete, Roland Penn, Dollye Kendall, Bessie Wagoner, and Vida Bailey. Pauline Matthews received an award for religious life on the campus. Annette Larkins represented the class in the Woman of the Year contest. Members of the Student Council were Dollye Kendall, Marty Robinson, and Roland Penn. As our jimior year was fast coming to an end, it was our privilege to honor the seniors with a Junior- Senior Prom . The theme of our prom was Stairway to the Stars . We said good-bye to the seniors and the curtains came down on a refined class. Scene IV The last scene is a joyous one in that we are looking forward to graduation. To begin our senior year we had a number of our stu- dents preparing to do student teaching. To carry on the position as the leader of the class we elected Geraldine Omega Pete as president. The following students were to help carry out her duties: vice-president, Nathaniel Tollison, secretary, Alice Sprinkle, assistant secretary, Barbara Carter, treasurer, lorese Hines. After the organization of the Class, the students prepared to take part in our last homecoming. The class chose Pauline Matthews to compete for the title of Miss Winston- Salem State College. The class was pleased with the results. The vivid Miss Pauline Matthews was crowned Miss Winston- Salem State College. Our class president was doing a marvelous job as leader ofthe class and as president of the Student Council. This senior was Geraldine Pete. The council representatives for our class were Nathaniel Tollison and Vida Bailey. We had queens in other areas also. The following seniors were crowned, Joyce Williams, Miss S. N. E.. A., and Yolander Miller, Miss Ram. We needed a qualified person as editor of our yearbook. Julia McCollough was chosen as editor-in-chief. The students elected to help make the yearbook a success were as follows, executive editor, Doretha Powell, managing editor, Willie Grier, business manager, Annette Larkins, art editors, Elena Jones and Iris Higgins, circulation manager, Katie Scott, feature editor, Jasper Robinson, secretary, Jeanette Richardson, treasurer, Lorese I-lines. Serving on various committees to aid in the progress of the college were Lillie Carver and Bernice Bigelow on the academic standards, Geraldine Pete on the administrative council, Emmett Robinson on the homecoming committee, Roland Penn and Yvonne Jackson on intercollegiate athletics, Joyce Love on the calendar committee, Nathaniel Tollison and Dollye Kendall on the curriculum, Clementine Davis and Edith Russell on the health committee,Jeanette Richardson and Beatrice Riggs on the library committee, Barbara Carter and William Waters on the lyceum and social committee, and Mary Roseboro and James Mack on public relations. The college newspaper, News Argus, had as its leaders Mary Roseboro, editor-in-chief, Sara Matthews, news editor, Yvonne Jackson, sports editor, several typists and proofreaders were chosen from the class. The Who's Who Amonq Students gi American Colleq-gs and Universities again summoned members from our class. Among those chosen were Geraldine Pete, Vida Bailey, Virginia Rogers, Delois Wright, and Lucia Daniels. We are in the midst of excitement. You may finish this as you watch us march down the aisles.We came to learn, and we shall depart to serve. Julia McCollough Helen G. Gore Doretha Powell 23 .l. .
