Responding to the modern challenges and the new dimensions demanding new perspectives, the image of the cam- pus has been renewed to structural steel and glass. We build buildings which will live as ageless memories of those who traversed their halls and discover- ed within them, new experiences toward a greater maturity.

For a freshman, as for a senior, a new year means new faces and friends . . . for the commuter, the beginning of the daily trek to the college by the sea . . . or the arrival of the resident students by plane, train, and car to a new atmos- phere of study and excitement — a cam- pus ever-changing because its students are ever-changing in origin, experience, and view point.

We learn, not through isolation, but through association with others . . . the professor at the classroom podium or the students in seminar, sharing with others the fruits of individual thought and research. Or in the laboratory, learning through experimentation. The lecturer in the sciences of the humanities, broadening the horizon of our vision and understanding. Shelf upon shelf of books, each one assuming a new vitality and worth as fresh minds gather new meanings from its words . . . things which are renewed each year as new minds begin their search for wisdom which comes with maturity. We live in an extraordinary community of teachers and students engaged in the threefold task of discovery, training, and of preserving through education the culture and the learning of mankind.

While in pursuit of education, academic studies are of primary importance on the Savan- nah State College Campus. Special events and activities are numerous.
Pictures on this page show various shots of homecoming.
These activities and many more help make Savannah State College the center of outstand- ing attractions in the area.
11
Social life involving wholesome recreation is encouraged and emphasized at the college by the sea . . . The student union is one of the centers of student life. Many social activities are presented during the student's quest for knowledge . . . From the Freshman Class Mixer during Orientation Week to the Junior-Senior Prom four years later, a steady parade of new faces and acquaint- ances join in a round of relief from the rigors of books and more books. From the Cotton Ball in the fall or the Red and White Ball at Valentine's to a Western Hop in the Student Center, students find time to add these to their social schedule.
The Men's Festival with its athletic events, talent shows, and dances . . . The Mardi Gras on a winter week- end, or the Senior Week with the fond good-byes are cherised memories that enrich our social development.

Savannah State's athletic events contribute a unifying spirit to the college. The Tiger's spirit and determination to excel are passwords for those engaged in competitive sports. The thrill of the crowd cheering the team on to victory or defeat . . . the cheerleaders exhibiting seemingly impossible acrobatic feats . . . the precision of the marching Tiger's. The sacred and' reverent strains of" We Hail the SSC" are some segments of the intangibles that enrich our memories of SSC.

LEADING SSC TO GREATNESS
President Howard Jordon Jr. — the name and the man are both symbols of dynamic leadership to all Savannah State College.
Those who know him personally can attest to the fact that here is a man dedicated to the task of developing and enriching the future of Savannah State College. Under his administration the Board of Regents has allocated approxi- mately $1,700,000 for modern buildings and facilities.
The faculty has grown considerably and great stress has been placed upon the strengthening of the academic program, as is evident, by the addition of top flight instructors to the faculty.
Dr. Jordon's accomplishments in leading Savannah State College to greatness are numerous. But none are greater than that of winning for himself a warm, respected place in the heart of Savannahians for his role in leading Savannah State to greater heights.

DEDICATION
There is always a person who has the character that appeals to all students. Dr. Joan Gordon is one of these persons . . . with forte divided among- many talents.
Her spirit and force embraces a heart so big" that it can harbor the problems of unknowing- freshmen, bewildered sophomores, confident juniors, and matured seniors.
She has, during her thirty-six years at SSC guided and helped to mold many raw and indifferent youths into useful and knowledgeable citizens.
She is one whose girlish grin, warm friendship, understanding, and respect has captivated us to love her. In profound gratitude for her service as an instructor, poet, and cultural leader, we are honored to dedicate the 1965 Tiger to Dr. Joan Gordon.

President's Message
In the entire history of the College, no period has witnessed such favorable changes as those that have occurred during- the last few years. The new spirit and mental vigor of the institution have made it possible to imagine greater and more wonderful things in the days to come. Several million dollars have been spent and will be spent toward the development of the physical plant. New buildings, renbvation of old buildings, and removal of obsolescent buildings are giving the College the setting and environment for better work and finer cooperative learning.
You, as a member of the student body, are contributing to the growth and expansion of the institution through your endless quest for knowledge.
May the many pleasant memories contained in the "Tiger" serve as a record of your rich col- lege experiences and as a fountainhead for your future successes.
Jordan, Jr.

<
Our faculty is not divinely inspired. They realize that incompleteness is essential. If they pretended that they knew all the answers they would become bores and pedants. But when they admit they only know some of the answers, and that students must also engage in the search for truth, they become scholars and friends. If teachers gave all the answers many needed and enjoyable hours in the library or science laboratory would not become a part of our college experience. For the search for truth sometimes centers in a laboratory where many hours of work may contribute only one minute piece of information. Sometimes it centers in a library where books must be scanned and persued and all the scholarly writing studied for new insights. But whatever the source and whatever the knowledge, it passes from teacher to student and from this gener- ation to the next.
An attempt to praise the faculty as a group is possible but also quite unrealistic. To praise them as individuals is impossible for us (the members of our limited staff do not know all the faculty members:) but it is the only valid way. If each reader would praise or commend the instructors and administra- tors they know, our task here is accomplished.

The personality of a college depends upon those who attend, teach, and staff that college. At Savannah State the student body and its staff is a kaleidoscope of personalities from many of the fifty united states, and other countries of the world.
Students who make up the Savannah State com- munity bring to their new home their desires, goals, unique personalities, joys and sorrows. They are mixed, tempered, and somewhat reshaped by the school's atmosphere. Students mature as they live more and varied experiences and so does the college. Thus, the college and its students change and grow together and give to each what is more important — life and a definite person- ality that is unique.
For some, graduation is that long awaited moment that climaxes college life after four years of rewarding experiences and study. To some, graduation is a wel- come relief and the end of an enjoyable experience — learning. To others, the more scholarly, it means an opportunity to go out into the world and commence learning. To all, commencement is a beginning and an ending . . . the ending of college days and the begin- ning of the initial steps toward the grand scheme of things.

College isn't all studying and hard work. Sometime, not too often though, students find time for after-class activities. Social events require most extra-curricular atten- tion! Sorority and fraternity term parties, the big- all-college dances, and fun at the beach are the main concern of social-minded SSC student. Besides the planned entertainments, there are parties and bull sessions, long hours spent over coffee in the student center, and informal get-togethers for card games, tennis and parties. State Students are gre- garious people, and the friendly campus spirit is reflected in the interchanges of "Hi" and "How are you?" that take place as students meet. All these activities comprise the friendliness for which SSC is famous.

If the most important endeavor in which any student body participates is academic work and study, then a close second must be the social life and extra-curricular activities in which the student participates. Savannah State is fully aware that in order to have a well rounded academic program, there must be an adequate amount of outlets to utilize the information and experiences gained in the classroom and through individual study. The various organizations of Savannah State College permit students to utilize in- herent talents, develop new skills, and serve humanity. During the 1964-65 school term there were forty-five campus organizations in which students could serve and work, or be rewarded for the college and the community. In many campus organizations and activi- ties, the student must apply what he has learned in the classroom. But, not all activi- ties fit into this category. Many exist partly for relaxation. The following pages show, in part, how Savannah State College students spend their time relaxing working and uti- lizing their skills. By participating in the. various activities and organizations of the school, life long friendships are established.

In 1911, three young1 men, Edgar A. Love, Oscar J. Cooper, and Frank Coleman, conceived the idea of founding a Negro:National Col- lege Fraternity. The young men discussed the matter many times, and as a result concluded that they should have some guidance. They contacted Professor Just and he consented at once, having a keen appreciation for the problems of youth.
On November 17. 1911, the Omega Psi Phi was born. The four Cardinal principles agreed upon were SCHOLARSHIP, MANHOOD. PERSEVERANCE, AND UPLIFT.
Alpha Gamma Chapter was established in 1949. Ever since that time the members have strived to uphold the standards set by the predecessors.
Among the many activities outstanding of the Chapter are the Annual Achievement Week Program, the Christmas Seals Campaign, and tutoring services for the Lampodas Club. The Chapter also sponsored social activities which include smokers, rush parties, dances and their annual Mardi Gras.
On October 28, 1914, the laying of the foundation was formally completed when the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity was incorporated by the United States Congress.
From that one undergraduate chapter (Alpha Chapter) the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity has a roster of 270 chapters. From a membership of three in 1911, Omega has a membership of more than 25,000.
Every state in the Union has some sons of Omega to carry her ideas. There are Omera Men abroad also.

Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated, was organized on November 12, 1922, in Indianapolis, Indiana by Mary Lou Gardner and six other school teachers. The sorority became an incorporated National Collegiate Sorority on December 30, 1929, when a charter was granted by Alpha Chapter at Butler University, Indianapolis, Indiana.
At present there are 59 campus chapters-and 82 Alumni Chapters -one of which is located at the University of Liberia, Monrouia.
Fifteen years and three months ago Soror Fannie P. Jenkins, the Southeastern Regional Director, Julia Jones, Edna Ligon, Rose Lot- son, Mattie Roberts and Christine Wright brought forth on this campus a new sorority, conceived in education, and dedicated to the proposition that all sisters are united as equal.
During this school term the sorority has been working diligently on various activities on and off campus. The sorority is a member of the Friends of the Library and the NAACP.
The sorority particularly stresses "finer womanhood, greater service and greater progress."

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority was organized on the campus of Howard University, Washing-ton, D. C, January 1920. The five founders, all of whom are still living-, are Arizona Cleaver Stemons, Viola Tyler Goings, Pearl Neal, Fannie Pettie Walls (of Savannah) and Myrtle Tyler Faithful. Soror Stemons has the honor of being the first presi- dent of the organization.
Rho Beta Chapter participates as far as possible in all of the na- tional programs of the sorority. Its contributions to the control and prevention of juvenile delinquency is an annual party at Thanks- giving time for the children of the Greenbriar Children's Center. The sorority assists the local graduate chapter with its city-wide story hour program during Finer Womanhood Week. On campus the sorority has an annual assembly program on which an award is pre- sented to the freshman girl with the highest average for the fall quarter.

More than fifty-five years ago at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, one of the most important meeting's in Negro history was taking place. Seven valiant Negro students, drawn together by their mutual feeling for the need of an organization which would bind Negro students together, organized Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, the first Negro Greek-Letter organization.
The park shown in the picture was built by the chapter and dedicated to the two deceased chartered brothers, Toland J. Col- lier and Elijah J. Lamarr on April 28, 1959, the tenth anniver- sary of the chapter.

On January 16, 1908, a young1 woman named Ethel Hedge- man envisioned an idea that has now become the pride of many college young- women. Ethel Hedgeman, a junior at Howard University, loved her people and wanted to do something to raise their standards. In her room in Minor Hall Ethel Hedge- man, Lucy Slowe, Beulah Burke, Margaret Hagg, Marjorie Hill, Marie Woolfold, Anna Brown, and Lavinia Norman met to draw up plans for the organization. Lucy Stowe was elected Basileus. Prom so small a nucleus Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority has grown to more than 1,011 graduate chapters and 110 under- graduate chapters throughout the United States and Liberia.

"In our hearts we build a shrine for thee . . . We hail the queens of S.S.C. . . ."
Grace, charm, talent, personality, and beauty are the qualifications of a suc- cessful queen as well as a successful human being'. Here at Savannah State College, we have been blessed with a multitude of lovely young1 ladies with the foregoing requirements for being our queens. At all times there is a queen for every organization on campus, but when we begin to look around at the lovely ladies who were by-passed because of campus traditions, we feel that there is a dire need for at least two queens to represent each organization. The feature section of the yearbook is devoted entirely to our charming queens. We will always remember their serenity during the homecoming festivities, Greek balls, coronation balls, and other social affairs at dear S.S.C.

"Fight! Fight! Tigers." shouts the crowd. Then an expectant hush creeps over it. Strong bodies with alert minds appear. The game was the climax of homecoming activities. With colorful pre-game ceremonies and half-time shows lacking nothing short of perfection, the old grads were extremely pleased with their Alma Mater.
Well-molded physically, mentally and spiritly, SSC prepares its athletes for the con- test at hand, be it basketball, football or life.

The
1965 Tiger Is Finished
James P. Neal, Editor-in-Chief
A yearbook, like history is not made of one event or by one per- son; rather it is a combination of efforts and a compilation of activi- ties. People are also necessary if the yearbook is to be recorded.
Perhaps it is not too pretentious to say that a yearbook seeks to capture the spirits of a particular group of people at a particular time in a particular place. It tries to discover the identities which belong' to that group because of the convergence in time and space of so many individuals. The 1 965 Tiger faced this with trepidation.
Without you the students and faculty of Savannah State, the Tiger would not have anything to tell. For your help, thank you!
To the members of the Tiger's Staff, I sincerely thank you for your time and your efforts. Special thanks to James Robert Smith and Homer Day, Associate Editors, Robert Joiner, layout and copy edi- tor, and Patricia Neely, Freshman Editor. For the staff this year- book holds special memories. In time of irritating complacency, flaming disagreement, they have contributed their efforts. Even in the threatening shadow of an impending deadline the editing of the yearbook remaineda joy because of the people with whom it was done. I would not repent this year as editor, for it will go down in my college career as a year filled with special learning into the essence of Savannah State College.
