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.

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.

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

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

he will be graciously rewarded for his work.

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

year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and fifty-four, we hereby appoint as sole Administrator of this will, the
President of our Class, Mr. Clyde Beatty, to be administered to its final degree.
SIGNED HERETO:
Mary Placyd Harris, Testator.
//
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.
