Dedication 


Mrs.  M.  M.  Harris 


Realizing  the  foundation  of  our  inspiration,  the  sacri- 
fices, the  purpose  of  our  accomplishment,  We,  the  Class  of 
1954,  Humbly  Dedicate  Ourselves  and  the  1954  Falcon  to 
You;  You  the  Foundation  of  our  inspiration;  You  the 
Sacrificer;  You  the  Purpose  of  our  accomplishments; 
You  the  Parents  of  the  Class  of  1954;  for  without  You, 
we  know  our  accomplishments  would  have  been  a  struggle 
without  hope,  our  paths  distorted,  our  inspiration  nought. 
WE  Dedicate  with  our  undying  love  and  affection  and 
thanks. 

To  you,  Mrs.  M.  M.  Harris,  the  recipient  of  our  dedi- 
cation, we  appreciate  the  giving  of  yourself  in  service, 
motherly  love,  guidance,  and  for  being  that  link  of  miles 
between  our  Parents  at  home  and  us  here. 


To  the  Class  of  1954,  I  can  say  that  1  have  climbed 
the  ladder  along  with  you,  for  your  first  year  at  St.  Agus- 
tine's  was  also  my  first  year.  I  felt  that  your  problems 
were  my  responsibility.  Each  member  seemed  like  my 
own  son  or  daughter. 

So,  it  is  with  great  appreciation  that  I,  parent  of  one 
member,  yet,  mother  of  all  the  class  receive  this  book— 
The  1954  Falcon  for  the  parents  of  the  Llass  ot  iyt>4.

FOR  hundreds  of  years  man  has  tried  to  keep  parts  of  the  past  with  him;  his  en- 
deavors, his  achievements,  his  gay  and  happy  days,  his  mistakes  and  many  of  his 
life's  wealth;  by  drawing  pictures — as  the  cave  man  did,  writing  histories  and  epics, 
singing  tales  and  folklores.  All  this  to  preserve  what  he  once  knew.  We,  like  them, 
have  struggled  to  keep  with  us  those  moments  here  at  St.  Augustine's,  which  are 
long  past,  with  us.  For  out  of  this  past  we  learned,  we  understood,  we  decided, 
and  we  received  inspiration  to  search  for  greater  Horizons.  To  make  our  lives 
happier,  we  present  to  you  the  Falcon;  with  our  unlost  memories,  faces  and  names 
that  would  be  forgotten,  and  our  cherished  days  around  the  Angle  of  St.  Augustine's. 
So

The  Blue  and  the  White 

Alma  Mater  Song 


(1) 

The  dark  hue  of  the  violet 
The  snow  white  lily's  bloom 
Are  emblems  of  the  virtues  rare 
That  seal  all  failure's  doom; 
That  give  us  courage  ever 
To  dare  to  do  the  right; 
For  Alma  Mater  dear  they  stand, 
All  hail  the  Blue  and  White. 


(2) 

All  through  the  days  we  spend  at  school 

Midst  scenes  we  hold  so  dear 

Where  friendships  made  are  ne'er  forgot 

Where  always  there's  good  cheer; 

While  for  enchanting  knowledge 

Or  charming  laurels  bright 

We  strive  our  best,  we  ne'er  forget 

Tis  for  the  Blue  and  White. 


(3) 

Where'er  relentless  duty  calls 

O'er  life's  tempest'ous  seas 

We'll  go  and  loyally  we'll  bide 

What  weal  or  woe  decrees; 

Yes,  loyal  to  the  colors 

That  stand  for  "Right  is  Might." 

Our  country's  flag,  the  Stars  and  Stripes 

And  ours,  the  Blue  and  White 


(4) 

O  sing  a  song  of  love  and  praise 

From  loyal  hearts  and  pure, 

For  her  our  Alma  Mater  dear 

And  for  her  ideals  true; 

For  the  eighty-seven  years  she's  triumphed, 

As  upward  in  her  flight 

She's  climbed  to  be  a  beacon  light — 

Her  banner  Blue  and  White.

Class  History 


The  Memories  of  September  17,  1950  will  never  be  forgotten  by  us;  for  it  was  on  this  day  that  we  experienced 
the  start  of  a  new  life,  entering  college,  which  was  another  step  leading  to  our  future  goal  and  we  continued  from 
that  day  to  progress  each  year,  until  we  have  finally  by  hard  studying,  reached  the  highest  peak  in  this  step,  which 
is  the  completion  of  a  four  year  college  career. 

This  being  1954,  four  years  have  elapsed  since  we  first  came  here  seeking  knowledge  to  help  us  reach  our  future 
goals  successfully  by  preparing  ourselves  to  live  in  a  changing  world;  today,  we  the  class  of  '54  feel  that  it  will  be 
quite  interesting  to  turn  the  clock  of  time  back  to  September  17,  1950  to  see  what  really  took  place  from  that  time 
up  to  the  present. 

When  we  entered  here  September,  1950  as  Freshmen,  there  were  158  of  us.  We  not  having  had  the  exeprience 
of  knowing  what  a  Freshman  went  through  his  first  week  in  school,  stood  in  fear  of  the  upperclassmen  and  the  initia- 
tion that  they  would  carry  us  through.  Some  of  us  could  not  see  how  we  were  going  through  a  week  of  it,  but  it  was 
interesting  at  the  end  to  find  that  it  really  was  not  as  hard  as  we  thought  it  was  going  to  be  and  if  we  had  laughed 
instead  of  cried,  we  would  have  seen  that  it  was  all  a  matter  of  fun:  for  afterwards  we  found  that  we  could  not  have 
found  any  schoolmates  any  better  than  those  annoying  upperclassmen  we  met  our  first  week  here. 

Some  of  us  found  it  quite  hard  to  get  adjusted  to  a  new  life,  but  as  time  passed  and  everybody  got  down  to  hard 
studying,  we,  the  Freshmen  class  at  that  time  forgot  about  being  in  a  different  environment  and  became  a  member 
of  the  big  family  in  every  way  at  St.  Augustine's. 

One  of  the  first  things  that  we  did  that  was  of  importance  that  year  was  to  organize  the  class.  Mr.  Merritt  was 
given  the  opportunity  of  being  our  adviser  and  the  officers  of  the  class  were:  President,  Howard  Quander;  Vice- 
President,  Lloyd  Parham;  Secretary,  Lillian  Jacobs.  Each  of  the  officers  did  his  duty;  thus,  helping  to  make  that 
year  a  successful  one.    Many  things  of  interest  happened  that  year  and  we  were  the  first  class  to  experience  them. 

It  was  our  Freshman  year  that  for  the  first  time  in  the  History  of  St.  Augustine's  the  Freshman  girls'  dormitory 
was  burned  to  the  extent  that  they  were  unable  to  remain  living  in  it.  This  created  a  lot  of  excitement  and  the  girls 
had  to  adjust  themselves  to  new  living  conditions.  It  was  during  this  year  also  that  some  of  the  boys  were  allowed 
to  go  over  into  the  Greek  organization  for  the  first  time  in  the  history  of  St.  Augustine's,  because  of  the  fear  of  being 
drafted  into  the  Army  before  they  reached  their  Sophomore  year. 

It  was  during  1950  that  through  the  mighty  efforts  of  the  "Falcons"  St.  Augustine's  defeated  Shaw  for  the  first 
time  in  almost  two  decades  and  this  event  should  certainly  go  down  in  the  history  of  our  class,  for  it  was  during  our 
time  here  that  this  event  took  place. 

On  a  whole,  our  freshman  year  was  an  enjoyable  one  and  a  successful  one.  Many  of  us  were  fortunate  enough 
to  make  the  Dean's  list;  though  many  of  our  abilities  would  not  allow  us  to  make  the  Dean's  list  we  advanced  in 
other  areas.  Along  with  hard  studying,  many  of  us  joined  in  the  extra-curricular  activities  and  also  the  social  ac- 
tivities of  the  school,  thus  making  our  first  year  a  happy  and  unforgettable  one. 

After  getting  adjusted  to  a  college  life,  the  spring  was  here  before  we  realized  it  and  it  was  time  for  us  to  depart 
for  a  period  of  three  months. 

After  three  months  of  vacationing  and  rest  from  studying,  we  returned  to  St.  Augustine's  as  sophomores  and 
feeling  that  we  really  owned  the  campus,  having  the  privilege  to  initiate  the  freshman  as  we  had  been  the  year  befoie. 
Some  of  our  classmates  fell  by  the  wayside  during  those  three  summer  months  that  we'  were  out  of  school.  Yes,  we 
were  sorry  to  lose  them  but  nevertheless  did  not  let  that  interfere  with  our  getting  off  to  a  good  start  for  that  year 
because  most  of  us  returned  ready  for  the  hardships  and  hard  studying  that  faced  us  for  that  year.  We  realized  that 
the  road  to  success  never  runs  smoothly,  so  we  faced  our  hardships  with  a  smile,  and  said  to  ourselves  that  we  would 
continue  to  climb  though  sometimes  we  may  feel  like  turning  back.  In  spite  of  the  hard  studying  and  hardships  that 
faced  us  our  sophomore  year,  we  did  not  forget  the  events  that  make  history  for  St.  Augustine's  and  our  class. 

It  was  our  Sophomore  year  that  the  Penick  Hall  of  Science  was  dedicated  and  classes  began  there.  We  had  quite 
a  few  members  of  the  class  to  go  into  Greek  organizations.  As  Homecoming  came  around,  Odessa  Ingram  was  our 
attendant  to  the  Homecoming  Queen.  The  class  was  well  represented  when  the  Honor  Roll  appeared.  So  you  see 
we  tried  not  to  be  a  one-sided  class  but  a  well-rounded  one,  enjoying  the  extra-curricular  activities  and  social  side  of 
college  life  along  with  hard  studying.  We  accomplished  much  that  year  and  departed  for  the  summer  with  high  hopes 
of  returning  the  next. 


'"    v-         ,.f! '. 


"He  who  knows  not  and  knows  that  he  knows  not  is  a  junior."  Yes,  that  is  what  we  were  when  we  returned  in 
September  1952. 

Though  we  lost  many  members  of  the  class  that  summer  we  were  happy  to  have  such  transfer  students  as  Gladys 
Daves,  Marion  V.  Solomon  and  others  to  become  a  part  of  our  class.  We  had  made  great  progress  in  the  past  two 
years  and  had  come  back  with  the  intention  to  continue  our  junior  year. 

On  our  return,  we  were  greeted  by  many  new  faculty  members,  who  through  the  year  did  their  best  in  helping 
us  in  all  of  our  undertakings.  Our  class  officers  were,  President — Mary  Harris,  Secretary — Ernestine  High  and  under 
their  leadership,  we  did  well.  During  this  year  some  of  our  classmates,  Lloyd  Parham  and  George  Robinson  became 
members  of  Alpha  Kappa  Mu,  an  honor  society  and  then  at  the  President's  Assembly  such  members  as  Lil- 
lian Jacobs,  Lloyd  Parham,  and  Carrie  Flemmings  received  certificates  from  the  President  of  the  college  for  the  noble 
accomplishments  they  had  made  that  year  and  since  the  day  we  arrived.  Some  of  these  same  persons,  Parham,  Jacobs 
and  others  received  awards  on  the  commencement  day  of  that  year.  Although  many  of  us  did  not  make  history  for  the 
class  that  way,  we  did  so  otherwise.  We  had  such  athletes  as  Jerimiah  Butts,  Bobby  Offutt,  Carl. Edge  and  others. 
Besides  being  represented  in  the  field  of  athletics  we  had  such  persons  as  Gladys  Daves  and  Theodore  Fagan  represent- 
ing us  in  the  field  of  Music. 

It  was  this  year  that  the  basketball  team  for  the  first  time  won  second  place  in  the  C.  I.  A.  A.  tournament  and 
had  the  best  player  of  the  year.    We  were  proud  to  have  Moxley,  a  member  of  our  class  on  the  team. 

What  we  did  that  year  determined  whether  our  greatest  desire,  becoming  a  senior,  would  be  fulfilled  at  the  end 
of  that  school  year.  Knowing  this,  many  of  us  burned  the  midnight  oil  many  nights  and  suffered  the  hardships  that 
came  along  with  the  pleasures,  and  at  the  end  of  the  year  believe  it  or  not  we  were  seniors. 

The  first  thing  that  disturbed  us,  emotionally,  our  senior  year  when  we  returned,  was  the  learning  of  the  loss 
of  one  of  the  faithful  members  of  the  Staff  of  Saint  Augustine's,  Mrs.  Hall.  Although  we  grieved  her  loss,  we  did 
not  let  it  stop  us  from  starting  the  year  off  with  hopes  of  making  it  the  most  noted  and  progressive  year  of  our 
college  career. 

As  officers  of  the  class,  we  chose,  President- -Clyde  Beatty,  Secretary — Mary  Harris  and  Virginia  Shields  as 
Treasurer  with  Mr.  W.  Johnson — adviser.  Under  their  leadership  we  were  able  to  see  that  we  were  about  to  reap 
the  fruits  of  labor  here  for  four  long  years. 

From  our  class,  Lloyd  Parham,  George  Robinson.  Lillian  Jacobs,  Cecelia  Hall,  Mary  Harris  and  Carl  Smith  were 
selected  to  appear  in   Who's  Who  in  American  Colleges  and  Universities. 

This  year  was  our  busiest  year  and  we  had  very  little  time  for  play.  There  was  the  publishing  of  the  yearbook 
of  which  Joe  B.  White  was  editor  and  that  required  quite  a  lot  of  work.  There  was  the  fitting  of  caps  and  gowns, 
and  above  all,  the  upkeep  of  our  scholarship,  so  that  at  the  end  of  the  last  semester,  when  "Pomp  and  Circumstance" 
starts  to  play,  all  would  be  able  to  march  down  the  aisle  to  the  front  of  the  Auditorium  to  take  our  seat  as  one  of  the 
outgoing  seniors  of  '54. 

Now,  as  we  the  class  of  '54  stand  at  the  peak  of  our  college  career,  we  realize  how  much  our  President,  teachers 
and  other  advisers  have  meant  to  us  and  what  ever  success  we  may  gain  will  be  due  to  their  sincerity  and  patient 
instruction. 

As  we — with  tears  in  our  eyes  and  sorrow  in  our  hearts — turn  to  leave  this,  our  "Alma  Mater"  taking  the  ideals 
we  have  gotten  from  here  with  us,  we  realize  that  what  has  been  instilled  in  us  here  can  never  die  but  will  live 
eternally  and  may  the  guiding  light  of  success  direct  each  of  our  feet  into  the  path  that  leads  to  the  future  careers  that 
each  of  us  have  planned. 

May  we  also  realize  from  the  experience  we  have  had  here  during  our  four  years,  that  the  road  to  success  never 
runs  smoothly;  so  we  must  face  our  hardships  with  a  smile  and  not  turn  back  for  all  our  days  can  not  be  sunny, 
some  must  be  dark  and  dreary. 

To  the  president,  teachers,  advisers  and  all  others  affiliated  with  St.  Augustine's  College,  you  can  be  sure  that 
no  matter  where  we  are:  at  work,  in  the  service,  or  furthering  our  education  elsewhere,  we  will  never  forget  St.  Augus- 
tine's, "Alma  Mater." 

With  happiness  as  well  as  sorrow  we  bid  you  "Adieu." 

Class  of  '54, 
Lillian   Jacobs. 


Words  to  the  Class  Song  of  *54 

Past  college  days  we  will  regret, 

While  toil  and  strain   we  may   forget 

Past  College  years  already  gone, 

To  our  sorrow  we're  alone 

Our  dearer  Saint  Augustine's  we'll  always  recall, 

Our  life,  our  dreams  can  not  fall, 

For  your  dear  guiding  hand 

Our  College  dreams  all  gone. 

While  toil  and  strain  we  may  forget 

Past  college  days  we  will  regret 

To  our  sorrow  we're  alone 

Our  Class  of  Fifty-Four.

SAINT  AUGUSTINE'S  COLLEGE 
OUR  MOTHER  OF  MANY  TEACHINGS 

Dear  Saint  Augustine's  we  hate  to  leave  you 
It  Breaks  our  hearts  and  we  want  you  to  know 
You've  done  your  best,  so  leave  the  rest  to  us  my  dear 
And  we'll  follow  through  the  coming  years. 

So  long  dear  school  we  wish  you  happiness  and  fame 
To  reach  the  top  should  always  be  our  aims 
We'll  keep  our  smiles  each  day  where  ever  we  may  go 
Then  we'll  be  proving  Saint  Augustine's  teachings 
Don't  you  know. 

Alroy  Murrell,  '54

Last  Will  and  Testament  of  the  Class  of    54 


We,  the  Senior  Class  of  1954  of  St.  Augustine's  College,  being  indisputably  of  sound  mind  and  memory  and  about 
to  pass  from  the  great  institution  of  learning  where  we  have  studied  and  learned,  played  and  had  fun,  make,  publish 
and  declare  this  to  be  our  last  will  and  testament,  and  do  hereby  proclaim  all  former  wills  invalid. 

Realizing  the  finality  of  this,  we  do  hereby  declare  the  following: 

Item  I 
To  the  community  at   large,  we  bequeath  the  influence  we  have  been  for  the  honorable  and  better  things  of  life; 
the  interest  in  music,  in  dramatics,  in  charitable  drives;  all  these  have  contributed  to  the  development  of  the  cultural 
spirit,  and  in  all  we  have  taken  part  and  done  our  share. 

Item  II 
To  our  beloved  parents,  in  appreciation  of  their  faithful   endeavor  to   secure   an   excellent   college   education   for 
us,  we  give  our  immortal  love,  deepest  regret,  and  enduring  reverence. 

Item  III 

To  our  class  adviser,  Mr.  W.  W.  Johnson,  we  lesve  our  brightest  smiles,  and  heartiest  cheers,  plus  our  hopes  that 
he  will  be  graciously  rewarded  for  his  work. 

Item  IV 
To  our  beloved  Alma  Mater,  we  leave  our  treasured  memories,  loyalty,  and  ardent  affections. 

Item  V 
To  our  esteemed  and  understanding  President,  Dr.  H.  L.  Trigg,  we  bequeath  our  best  wishes  for  more  success  in 
the  coming  years,  for  the  betterment  and  prosperity  of  our  dear  school. 

Item  VI 

To  our  Deans  and  Counselors,  we  leave  our  regrets  for  the  many  headaches  we  have  caused  them  and  our  appre- 
ciation for  the  helpful  guidance  they  have  given  us.    We  sincerely  thank  you  for  your  great  share  in  our  success. 

Item  VII 
To  the  faculty   (long  life  to  every  member),  we  bequeath  our  high  grades,  studiousness,  and  in  general  our  genius. 

Item  VIII 
To  the  Junior  Class,  as  our  rightful  and  worthy  successors,  we  bequeath  our  richest  treasures — our  Senior  dignity, 
our  excellent  wit,  our  superlative  brilliancy,  our  charming  manners,  our  splendid   grades  and  our  triumphant  exit — 
rare  treasures  they  are!     Our  valuables — capacity   for  fun,  ability  to  giggle,  our  good  times,  our  friendship,  and  our 
loyalty.   Count  them  among  the  richest  of  legacies  you  receive. 

Item   IX 

To  the  exhuberant  and  vivacious  Sophomores,  we  bestow  the  power  to  resist  the  many  temptations  that  will  con- 
front them  before  graduation. 

Item  X 

To  the  Freshman  (those  little  innocent  creatures),  we  leave  the  ability  to  uphold  the  motto  of  our  Institution — 
"The  Truth  Shall  Make  You  Free." 

Item  XI 
The  following  valuable  personal  .bequests,  freely  and  fully  given,  should  be  treasured  as  a  continual  reminder  of 


the  abundant  and  overwhelming  generosity  of  the  class  and  the  individuals  thereof.    We  trust  these  responsibilities  will 
be  assumed  promptly  and  bring  important  results:

erence as  did  the  former  owner.

Marjorie  Cox  leaves  behind  her  the  following  valuables:  (1)  To  Azella  Foster  goes  her  ability  to  write  letters  so 
she  will  be  able  to  receive  one  every  two  weeks  instead  of  every  ten  weeks,  and  (2)  To  Doris  Burney  is  left  her  seat  in 
chapel. 

Dorothy  Holden  wills  to  Nellie  Johnson  her  place  in  Sigma  Gamma  Rho  Sorority  in  hopes  that  she  will  cherish

A  Peck  Into  the  Mind  of  a  Dreamer" 


It  is  said  that  every  rose  has  its  thorn,  and  every  joy  its  under-current  of  sorrow; 
certain  it  is  that  the  graduating  class  of  1954  finds  the  pleasure  of  achievement 
dimmed  by  the  severing  of  school  and  class  friendships. 

All  of  us  have  had  dreams.  It  is  after  graduation  that  we  begin  to  realize  these 
dreams.  We  must  remember  that  in  order  to  give  reality  to  the  fulfillment  of  our 
dreams  we  must  be  honest  with  ourselves,  loyal  to  those  we  meet,  and  steadfast  in 
our  ideals. 

A  certain  Senior  Girl  was  sitting  in  the  Library.  It  was  January  11,  1954,  and 
the  air  was  cool  and  moist.  Mary  Placyd  Harris  was  trying  to  prepare  for  her 
coming  finals,  but  her  mind  refused  to  be  confined  to  the  immediate' task.  It 
wandered  back  over  the  happy  adventures  now  soon  to  end  forever;  it  wandered 
out  over  the  more  strenuous  life  now  so  soon  to  begin.  She  reminisced  and  planned, 
and  out  of  the  reminiscing  and  planning,  a  definite  project  took  form — "A  MAKE- 
BELIEVE  DREAM."  So  engulfed  was  she  in  ecstasy  that  she  fell  asleep  dreaming 
of  the  future. 

Nothing  shows  the  power  of  dreams  more  clearly  than  the  fact  that  they  cause 
one  to  surrender  things — the  reality  of  which  no  one  doubts — money,  comforts, 
reputation,  life  itself.  The  illustration  of  this  fact  is  revealed.  She  recorded  as  she 
dreamed — each  style  and  epic  characterizing  her  classmates  as  stars  ten  years  from 
date. 

Dreaming  can  be  wonderful,  then  all  of  a  sudden  one  is  thrown  back  into  the 
world  of  consciousness  where  the  worries  of  the  present  hurl  him  back  to  reality. 

The  date  is  Monday,  January  11,  1964.  I  am  the  wife  of  Mr.  J.  L.  Hooker  now 
and  am  on  my  way  to  Paris,  France  by  plane  to  complete  my  work  for  a  Ph.D.  in 
Romance  Languages.  As  I  travel,  my  eyes  focus  on  the  clouds  outside  the  window 
and — Behold!  Stars  are  all  about  me.  Luminous  stars  revealing  the  destinies  and 
future  fortunes  in  store  for  the  Graduates  of  1954.  What  have  we  here?  A  star 
of  bright  and  glorious  beauty — a  star  that  foretells  a  future  of  brilliancy  and 
honor.  Whose  name  shines  behind  this  luminous  star? — Ronald  N.  Holmes  is  a 
Bio-chemist  and  has  discovered  a  cure  for  cancer.  Through  this  marvelous  dis- 
covery, Ronald  has  become  rich  and  retired  with  his  wife  and  two  lovely  children. 
How  lucky  he  is  to  be  able  to  retire  at  such  an  early  age.  Two  stars,  no,  three, 
are  legal  stenographers  in  the  Law  Offices  of  Attorney  Richard  D.  Williams,  707 
McBrennon  Boulevard,  Tyler  Texas.  They  are,  Esther  Clarke,  Bernice  Loftin.  and 
Rose  Marie  McNeil. 

Other  stars — Virginia  Shields,  Nathornia  Johnson,  Mazelle  Price,  Lillie  Mercer, 
Swannie  Monroe,  Patricia  Ann  Perry,  and  Mary  V.  Boyd  are  all  instructors  at  the 
J.  W.  Grant  Elementary  School,  which  was  recently  founded  by  Joseph  Grant  in 
Richmond,  Virginia.  Mr.  Grant,  I  might  add,  is  also  the  Principal  of  this  ultra- 
modern school.  Shining  brightly  by  itself  is  another  tiny  star — Marjorie  Cox  is 
Mr.  Grant's  Private  Secretary. 

Two  new  stars  appear.  The  names  so  deeply  etched  in  their  luminous  glow  are 
those  of  Glinzerine  Buie,  who  has  just  taken  Mr.  W.  W.  Johnson's  place  as  Head 
of  the  Biological  Science  Department  at  St.  Augustine's  College,  and  Mary  Wiggins 
Dawson,  who  teaches  Health  and  Physical  Education  at  the  same  Institution. 
Incidentally  Mrs.  Dawson's  all-girl  Basketball  team  has  a  record  of  being  undefeated. 


A  star  of  unusual  brilliancy  tells  us  that  Lenora  Holman  has  become  an  all-around 
well-educated  person.  She  is  well  versed  in  politics,  news  of  the  entertainment 
world,  and  in  practically  every  phase  of  the  intellect. 

Stars!  Stars!  Stars!  How  they  glow!  What  wonderful  future  fortunes  they 
foretell!  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Richard  Ewing  are  residing  in  California.  Mrs  R.  Lwing 
is  the  former  Lillian  Jacobs,  member  of  the  graduating  class  of  54.  She  is  Head 
of  the  English  Department  at  the  University  of  California. 

The  valet  of  Mr.  Joe  Bernard  White  has  been  raking  reporters  out  of  the  door. 
There  are  rumors  that  J.  B.  White  is  a  polygamic.  When  questioned  of  his  activi- 
ties Mr  White  merely  says  that  he  is  proud  of  his  work  in  the  Parish  and  has  a 
great  interest  in  his  turkey  farm.  Mr.  White  never  comments  as  to  whether  or 
not  he  has  several  wives. 

A  new  High  School  has  opened  in  Springfield,  Illinois  with  William  H  Moore 
as  Principal.  Mr.  Moore  has  hired  the  following  as  his  Staff:  James  Chad  wick, 
Dorothy  Holden,  Mary  Gray,  Delois  Crandall,  Carrie  Fleming,  Lenora  McEachin, 
Lela  Mae  T.  Walker,  Gloria  Thorpe,  Addie  White,  Earl  Carter,  Eleanor  LeFlore, 
Alroy  Murrell,  and  Inez  Calvin.  Private  Secretary  for  the  Principal  is  Mamie 
Joyner. 

Another  great  star  is  recognized— Edgar  Lowry  has  become  a  well-established 
certified  Public  Accountant,  who  has  become  a  multi-millionaire,  known  to  the 
public  as  a  philanthropist.  There  are  rumors  that  he  is  about  to  wed  his  campus 
sweetheart,  Gladys  Daves,  who  plans  to  open  her  Music  Studio  soon. 

Fannie  Murrell  is  making  a  name  for  herself  as  an  expert  Physical  Therapist 
in  Canada. 

Lloyd  Parham  is  a  psychiatric  Social  Worker  at  Bellevue  Hospital  in  New  York. 
Marlene  L.  Sanders,  Ph.D.,  is  Head  of  the  Biology  Department  at  the  University 
of  North  Carolina,  Chapel  Hill.    Herbert  A.  Hoover  is  Head  of  the  Business  Depart- 
ment  there. 

Cecelia  Hall  has  done  a  number  of  constructive  things  in  the  fields  of  Religious 
Education  and  Social  Work. 

Jeremiah  Butts  has  been  locked  in  his  den  for  days  apparently  trying  to  discover 
some  undiscovered  discovery. 

Warren  D.  Moxley  has  replaced  the  Al  Capps  of  yesterday  with  his  millions  of 
thrilling  comic  strips. 

All  the  class  follows  Dr.  Trigg's  suggestion  to  stage  a  reunion  after  Clyde  Beatty 
has  been  ordained  into  the  Priesthood. 

The  stars  gradually  lost  their  brilliancy.  They  slowly  disappeared.  Then  they 
were  gone  and  once  again  the  sky  was  darkened. 

Stunned  by  the  ecstasy  of  her  dream  with  the  stars,  Mary  Harris  awoke  with  this 
realization,  "Great  dreams  I  have  had— they  not  only  remake  the  dreamer,  they 
transform  the  world"  and  part  with  this  advice: 

We  face  a  world  in  which  great  achievements  have  been  built  upon  great  dreams. 
Therefore,  classmates,  entertain  great  dreams;  let  them  be  the  promise  of  richer 
personalities  and  a  happier  world.  We  can  do  great  things  if  we  greet  life  armed 
for  battles  with  realiu.  lured  by  the  stars  that  are  dreams. 

Mary  Placyd  Harris,  '54.
