TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1952

As you become additional links in the chain of St, Augustine's
contributions to the leadership of the world, please accept n^r
commendation and best wishes.

You and the Alumni of St. Augustine's College since its founding
are the College itself in so far as the outside world thinks of this
institution.

What you do is worth vastly more than the largest contributions
of money that we can get,

I am sure that this final year as a student of St, Augustine's
College is Just one more layer of brick in your structure of effective
living. _ y^ sincerely.

To You . . .

Mr. Lynch, we sincerely dedicate the 1932 edition of THE FALCON.

It was for many reasons that we selected you as dedicatee. Sentences will not
allow us to thoroughly tell you why. In phrases we will say that you were selected
because of your sincerity, humility, intense love for your work, and your appreciation
for the spiritual in harmony with that which is intellectual.

We further endow you with all that is between these covers because of your en-
joyment of the classroom and your desire to aid youth in seeking the truth. Refer-
ring to your personal philosophy, we cherish your aim: Culture, not for culture's
sake.

MISS ST. AUGUSTINE'S and HER ATTENDANTS

MISS ST. AGNES ?.nd HER ATTENDANTS

CLASS HISTORY

As we depart from the portals of St. Augustine's College, we, the Class of 1952, proud-
ly look back on a bright day of Indian Summer in nineteen hundred and forty-eight.
On this date a group of one hundred and fifty-five young men and women bewildering-
ly entered the walls of this institution to further their education physically, morally and
mentally.

We were a little afraid, but possessed a strong determination. At the end of the first
semester, we had begun to write a chapter in the history of the Class of 1952, when on
publication of the Dean's list, such names as Susie Davis, 'Viola DeLaine, Charlie San-
ders, Carol Slaughter, and Richard Gambrell appeared there. Class officers for this
year' were: President, Bobby Clark; Secretary, Eula Gadson; and Treasurer, 'Willie Jones.

Our second semester brought great encouragement because we had now been accepted
as members of the "big family" and were on our way to accomplishments of great things.
We parted that year with a tinge of regret, but with high hopes of returning the next
year.

The second year we came back fewer in number, but with a stronger determination
to do well. We elected as our officers, Bobby Clark as President; Madeline Grissom, Sec-
retary; and Treasurer, 'Viola DeLaine. We sent to the Student Council Carl Tavares,
Ehzabeth Tomlinson, and Melvin Miller. As outstanding athletes, we had in our midst
'Van Henderson, Bobby Clark, Jesse Clements, James Evans, Hudson Reed, Claud Burch,
Joseph Clayton and others. Such members of our class as CharliQ Sanders, Elizabeth
Tomlinson, Helen Chavis, Susie Davis, Jane Jackson, Dorotha Jackson, and 'Viola De-
Laine were recipients of scholarships and awards.

During our time spent here, we have had such actors and actresses as W. Juanita
Mitchell, Glenda Hall, Eva Green, Joseph Swain, Anthony Ellis, Sarah Traeye, and
Carol Slaughter. These have starred in major productions given by the Dramatic Club.

In the summer of 1951, our ship sank; few were saved, and we returned to Saint
Augustine's, fewer in number, but stronger in mind and will. We lost many outstanding
members, but our sister junior college replaced them with such students as John Bellamy,
Oliver Burnett and Madelle Wade, who was the originator of our present Charm Club
among Freshmen young ladies.

This successful year was prompted by our officers, Melvin Miller, President; Eliza-
beth Tomlinson, Secretary; and Dorothy Carnage, Treasurer. We elected Dorotha Jack-
son, Joseph Swain, and Kathryn Barge as representatives to the Student Council. During
this, our junior year, we contributed such persons as Charlie Sanders, Elizabeth Tomlin-
son, Anthony Ellis and Susie Davis to Alpha Kappa Mu Honor Society.

At last we entered our final year of struggles. Although we started out with one hun-
dred and fifty-five, we have dwindled down to only forty-eight, and we still possess
some force.

At the helm this year was Anthony Ellis, President; 'Viola C. DeLaine, Secretary;
Evans Booker, Treasurer. We sent to the Stuident Council Olivette Merrick, Annie Mc-
Laurin and Oliver Burnett.

Selected from this class to appear among Who's Who Among Students in American
Universities and Colleges were: Annie Wilkins, Dorothy Strachan, Elizabeth Tomlinson,
Mary Jones, Evelyn Gregg, "Viola DeLaine, Olivette Merrick, Melvin Miller and An-
thony Ellis. We are proud of you classmates. Congratulations to Charlie Sanders and
Susie for receiving this honor last year.

So through trials we have travelled to the end of our four years. St. Augustine's we
thank you for having prepared us to take our respective stand in life. You shall forever
live in our memory. Alma Mater we bid thee adieu.

CLASS OF 1952

CLASS PROPHECY

412 North Dooley Street
Hawkinsville, Georgia
May 26, 1967

Dear Annie,

Welcome back to the States. We are all very proud of the wonderful work you have
done while you were engaged by the Medical Association in India. I'm sure it makes you
feel very happy to know that you have played such an important roll in helping to re-
duce the high death rate in India. We can never express our gratitude to you for discover-
ing Formula X which will add at least five years to each of our lives.

Well, I'm sure since you have been out of this country for quite a few years, you're
not exactly up to date on the whereabouts of our classmates. I've tried to keep tabs on all
of them and I have been fairly successful. I know you're anxious to hear about them, so
I'll try to tell you briefly about each as I think of them.

Our ex-next door neighbor, Willie Jones, has at last had her dreams come true, she
is a successful social worker in Paris. She received her degree in social work at N.Y.U.
From the looks of her two children, I'd say Paris really agrees with them. I understand
Willie has had the pleasure of hearing Susie Davis and Olivette Merrick in concert on
many occasions. I'm sure you've heard of their fame. They have made two world tours
thus far. It's really wonderful how they have managed to run their families so successful
and yet remain such great career women.

Remember Helen Chavis and Evelyn Gregg? Well, both of them are holding important
positions as French interpreters at the United Nations. They seem to be keeping up with
each other, both have three children. You know, I always did think Anthony Ellis deserved
a place in Washington; well, evidently, the citizens of North Carolina are of the same opin-
ion, because he is now one of their senators and from all reports, he is doing an excellent
job.

If you remember, Bright-Davies always did tell us she would become Mrs. Coleman,
well, she knew what she was talking about. By the way she just returned from Europe,
after completmg a series of news articles on world affairs. I received a letter from Eliza-
beth Tomlinson last week. She's all wrapped up in work as usual. She recently became
'Vice President of a large business firm in Frankfort, Germany. She was telling me that
Dorothy Strachan is head of the Business Department at Florida A&M.

Howard Bethea stopped by here last month. He was on his way to the convention of
Southern principals which was held at Florida A&M. You can imagine how happy I was
to see him. He was fortunate to become principal in his hometown. He was feeling very
proud over having Ella Hannon Nance and Eva Green as members of his faculty.

I received an invitation to the graduation of Claud Burch, Jr., from Elementary School,
a few days ago. His father is chief coach at the University of Illinois. Elsie is doing a
good job of keeping up the home front. It's really hard to imagine them with a son twelve
years old. I heard from Dorotha Jackson, she had just spent two weeks with Elsie. She is
instructor of Physical Education at the University of Ohio.

Melvin Murrell or Snuffie is a very outstanding dentist in New Orleans. I know you
heard about his discovery of a method of preventing tooth decay. It has really given him
world-wide recognition. I know he hopes Melvin, Jr., will follow in his footsteps. D. Belle
■Vandergriff Carter is also in New Orleans. She is enjoying life as a reception clerk in her
new ultra-modern motel. I have a picture of her twins. Have you heard that Melvin Miller
has recently been appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court ?

Shirley Rolle is head of the Department of Elementary Education in Southern Florida.
Last month, Ellen Wilder Chambliss played for her daughter's voice recital at Carnegie
Hall. Mary Murphy Moore and Mary Jones are presently employed as private secretaries
to Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer motion picture czar, Samuel Goldwyn. Carrie Ivy Cobb ended
her visit in Columbus last week. She is employed by Warner Brothers as a private secre-
tary. I understand she was offered a screen test, but her heart must really be in her work,
because she refused to accept this offer. Hudson Street Reed has opened a school of aero-
nautics in Asbury Park.

By the way, Bobby Clarke has really made a name for himself in sports. He set a new
broad jump record at the Olympics.

I received a card from Preston Grier while he was in Atlanta attending the National
Convention of the Omegas. Of course, you know he is Dr. Grier now, and one of the
best. John Hairston and James Cobb are also well established doctors.

Evans Booker and Donald Bailey have almost completed their space ship. I think it is
to start it's trip to the moon sometime in the near future. Just imagine what the success
of this ship will mean to our country. Since Jesse Clements won the title of "Mr.
America," he has been offered several T.V. contracts and also quite a few screen tests,
but it seems he'd rather remain a coach than go to Hollywood. James Evans was a top
basketball coach, but he preferred art to coaching. He is now a United International
Artist. I was reading in the Kappa Alpha Psi Journal where Joseph Swain, National Pole-
mark, has returned from Scotland where a new chapter was recently chartered.

Albert Clark is manager of the Cuban All Star Baseball Team. They are to meet the
Brooklyn Dodgers in an exhibition game. The Dodgers are really fortunate in having
Leroy Lassister as their manager.

Dorothy Carnage is resting a few days at home after just winning her one-hundredth
Civil Rights suit. I think she deserves some rest, don't you? Madell "Wade or Mrs. Keith
Woodroffe is residing in Jamacia, New York. The last time I was up that way, I attended
one of her fabulous dinner parties. Keith — Dr. 'Woodroffe — was planning to attend an
international meeting of doctors in Berlin.

The last time I had any news concerning Ed Joyner, he was still in Raleigh and had
opened a youth center there. John Bellamy has made millions on 'Wall Street. I think it
was very generous of him to give St. Augustine's a new gym. Oliver Burnett is instructor
of French at the IJniversity of California. He did advance studying at the University of
Paris. Charlie Sanders is National President or Phi Beta Sigma. I've read quite a few of
the short stories he has written during his leisure hours. They are excellent.

Ozie Belle Mitchell was librarian at Howard, but her husband convinced her that she
should devote all of her time to their home, so she is now living a quiet and happy life
as Mrs. Battle.

Annie S. 'Wilkins, Elsie Herndon, and Madeline Grissom have joined forces in founding
the best business school in the country. Their graduates are so capable, they are assured
of securing jobs. I heard from 'Viola DeLaine a few days ago. She was employed as
business instructor in Tulsa, Oklahoma, but she resigned in order to accompany her tenor
soloist husband on a world tour. Juanita Mitchell and Glenda Hall gave a splendid
performance yesterday on piano playhouse. They are scheduled to appear at Carnegie
Hall next month.

Carl Tavares writes me quite often. He is head surgeon at the private hospital he
established in 'West Philadelphia. As we all expected, he married his college sweetheart
and they have twins.

'Well, Annie I guess this is about all the data I can give you concerning our classmates.
Just to think, today, fifteen years ago, we were leaving St. Augustine's not knowing what
our futures would be. And now, all of us have made accomplishments of which I am
sure St. Augustine's is proud. I suppose I'll begin thinking on an idea for my sixth novel
after my soprano performance tonight. I will be looking forward to hearing from you
soon. Until then, you have my very best wishes.

Sincerely,
Pennie

CLASS SONG

We smile as we past through the portals
Which lead to the highway of life;
For this we have shared with our fathers
Our Alma Mater's pride.

CHORUS

St. Augustine's, our honor springs from thee,
Your pleasure, your teachings and our God.

The years we have spent together,
Were of happiness and good cheer
We've worked and shared in joy and tears
At last our goal appears.

CLASS POEM

To Saint Augustine's as we prepare to leave, [

And each day's events turn to memories;
Memories of past days which now we find
We must "smile on" and leave behind.

Thru joys and sorrows, thru want and tears
We've emerged complete after four long years,
Guided by a hand divine yet unseen,
Beloved and blessed Saint Augustine's.

We have lost the simplicity of youth,

And replaced folly with knowledge and truth;

To Saint Augustine's we all owe a debt,

A debt we can never repay.

And yet, as we go through the world, let us try
Think back on men like Penick, Deiany, and Cheshire;
When at the communion rail the final day we sup,
Pause — think back — smile on —
But continue to look up!

— Virginia E. Bright-Davies
