FOREWORD 


We,  the  Senior  Class  of  1956,  present  our  yearbook,  The  Falcon. 
The  task  of  publishing  this  volume  has  been  arduous  but  pleasant.  In 
producing  this  annual,  we  have  acquired  a  richer  experience  in  human 
relations,  in  making  decisions,  and  in  perseverence.  All  of  these  exper- 
iences should  make  us  better  citizens  and  prepare  us  to  overcome  the 
many  obstacles  that  will  confront  us  in  life. 

The  yearbook  Staff  has  attempted  to  record  for  each  of  you  some  of 
the  memorable  episodes  during  your  college  life  at  Saint  Augustine's 
College.  We  sincerely  hope  that  the  1956  Falcon  will  cause  each  of  you 
to  continue  to  work  to  preserve  the  customs,  traditions  and  ideals  of  the 
college.

TO  YOU  .  .  . 


Mrs.  Walker,  we  sincerely  dedicate  the  1956  Falcon,  the  fruit  of  our  labor.  Our 
choice  was  not  made  in  haste,  but  after  many  hours  of  deliberation  and  thought. 

There  are  many  reasons  why  you  should  be  our  dedicatee  and  all  of  them  are 
sound,  yet,  too  numerous  to  state  in  the  space  allocated  for  this  dedication.  Yet, 
suffice  it  to  say  that  because  of  your  sincerity,  humility,  and  devotion  to  your  work, 
and  helpfulness  to  us,  you  have  epitomized  an  ideal  person.  No  less  reason  is  your 
maintaining  all  the  records  and  advising  us  of  our  progress  during  the  past  four 
years.  You  have  constantly  made  us  conscious  of  our  academic  standing  and  moti- 
vated us  to  excel  in  all  undertakings. 

The  one  regret  we  have  in  dedicating  our  Yearbook  to  you  is  that  words  are  so 
ineffectual  when  it  comes  to  expressing  how  we  really  feel  toward  you;  yet,  believe 
us  when  we  say  simply,  "Thank  you,  and  may  The  Good  Lord-forever  bless  and 
keep  you.-' 


Dear  Senior  Class: 

On  the  occasion  of  your  leaving  St.  Augustine's  College  after  an  academic  sojourn 
of  four  years,  I  congratulate  you.  Your  graduation  will  truly  be  the  commencement 
of  a  new  chapter  in  the  book  of  life.  We  have  attempted  to  acquaint  you  with  the 
religious,  scientific  and  humanistic  implications  in  the  matter  of  everyday  living.  It 
is  my  wish  that  you  will  now  be  better  able  to  evaluate  change  in  terms  of  continuing, 
human  progress  rather  than  as  a  threat  to  human  stability. 

Always  carry  with  you  a  Christian  optimism  based  upon  reality.  Forever  be 
true  to  God  and  vour  fellowman. 


May  success  ever  attend  you. 


Very  truly  yours, 


a.

CLASS  HISTORY 


One,  two,  three,  four  years  have  sifted 
through  the  sands  of  time;  and  we,  the  Class  of 
'56,  can  look  back  with  grateful  thoughts, 
memories  of  hardships,  failures,  and  many 
moments  to  treasure. 

Have  you  ever  felt  the  air  of  dignity  or  like 
the  world  is  at  your  feet?  Well,  this  is  the  feeling 
of  'every  senior.  To  really  understand  this 
feeling  let  me  relate  the  history  of  the  class. 

It  was  September,  1952,  that  we  entered  the 
gates  of  Saint  Augustine's  and  began  our  regis- 
tration for  the  first  year  of  working  toward  a 
degree. 

To  the  upperclassmen  we  were  just  a  bunch 
of  "green"  freshmen,  but  to  ourselves  there 
was  no  group  of  students  who  were  more 
dignified  and  knew  so  much  as  we.  We  had  a 
lot  to  learn.  It  is  not  true,  however,  that  in 
every  instance  we  were  dumb  and  had  no 
common  sense,  because  most  of  us  knew  that 
it  was  here  that  we  would  begin  to  lay  a  firm 
foundation  and  prepare  ourselves  not  only 
intellectually,  but  spiritually  and  socially  as 
well. 

Our  class  worked  hard  during  the  first  se- 
mester to  prove  ourselves  worthy  of  all  the 
struggling  our  parents  and  teachers  were  doing 
for  us,  and  we  did  prove  it. 

We  were  organized,  and  James  Clark  was 
elected  president  of  the  class. 

All  of  us  finally  began  to  catch  on  to  the 
swing  of  campus  life  and  so  we  learned  to  apply 
ourselves  socially.  Many  joined  such  activities 
as  the  Dramatics  Club,  Choir,  Canterbury  Club, 
and  other  groups  of  interest. 

It  was  November  and  Homecoming  had 
rolled  around.  We  worked  diligently  to  decorate 
our  float,   and   Winifred   Lee   could   not   hove 


been  prouder  to  reign  as  our  "Miss  Freshmen 
Class." 

Let  us  not  forget  our  great  athletes,  Yes, 
the  ones  this  class  brought  to  Saint  Augustine's. 
Do  you  remember  Tony  Washington  and  Owen 
Duncan  in  football,  Leroy  Harrison  in  track, 
and  our  contributions  to  basketball? 

The  CIAA  tournament  was  a  highlight  our 
first  year.  We  showed  off  such  players  as  Donald 
Young,  Richard  Mosely,  Tony  Washington, 
and  Clarence  Burks  who  was  named  "Most 
Valuable  Player  for  '52-'53."  These  great 
players  helped  the  Falcons  win  the  title  of 
runners-up  in  the  tournament.  It  was  this  year 
that  Coach  Roy  D.  Moore  was  given  a  trophy 
for  "Outstanding  Coach  of  the  Year."  We  were 
broken-hearted  because  we  lost  the  game  to 
Winston-Salem  by  two  points,  but  our  spirit 
was  high  for  we  knew  that  we  couldn't  win 
everything. 

The  tournament  was  over  and  we  resumed 
our  studies  for  soon  there  would  be  a  reckoning 
day  on  the  "Ole  Campus."  The  spring  was 
here  and  some  of  us  got  just  plain  old  spring 
fever,  but  there  were  books  to  be  read  and 
term  papers  to  be  written.  How  did  we  make  it? 
The  end  of  May  was  here,  exams  were  taken, 
and  clothes  were  packed.  We  were  headed  for 
home  and  the  first  year  was  completed. 

We  hear  dire  stories  of  how,  at  the  end  of 
the  School  year,  students  throw  their  books  in 
a  trunk  and  vow  they  will  not  think  of  school 
again  until  vacation  is  over.  This  was  not 
true  for  us  because  memories  of  classmates 
lingered  in  our  hearts. 

It  was  September,  '53  and  we  were  back  at 
the  "Ole  Camping  Ground"  greeting  old  faces 
and   preparing  to   initiate  the  freshmen.   In  a 


14 


few  weeks  we  had  settled  down  to  the  same  old 
routine. 

James  Clark  was  again  elected  president  of 
the  class  and  from  this  time  on  remained 
president. 

As  in  everv  class  history  a  few  of  the  tribe 
were  lost,  but  fortunately  we  gained  more. 

The  year  was  full  of  events.  Homecoming 
was  here  and  Shirley  Cherry  was  our  "Belle 
of  the  South." 

By  this  time  the  year  was  in  full  swing  and 
many  of  us  were  pledging  sorcrities  and  fra- 
ternities. Ilene  Moore  and  Yida  McCon- 
neaughey  were  pledged  in  an  honor  society, 
Alpha  Kappa  Delta.  Some  of  us  had  not  quite 
reached  this  step  but  we  were  still  striving. 

Football  and  basketball  seasons  were  over 
and  we  were  looking  forward  to  the  spring 
dances. 

As  each  day  unfolded,  we  ventured  into  new 
experiences,  and  sought  new  tasks  to  undertake. 
The  class  was  knitted  close  together.  We  were 
one  for  all  and  all  for  one. 

By  the  end  of  the  year,  we  were  looking  for- 
ward to  becoming  sophisticated  juniors. 

When  the  summer  of  '54  was  over  and  we 
returned  as  juniors,  the  air  of  sophistication 
was  with  us. 

We  dreaded  the  loss  of  so  many  girls  who 
were  majoring  in  pre-nursing.  The  ratio  of  the 
class  decreased  tremendously,  but  they  were 
our  classmates  from  the  beginning  and  quite 
often  they  are  mentioned  by  us. 

Life  on  the  campus  was  nothing  new  to  us 
by  this  time  so  becoming  adjusted  was  no  longer 
a  problem.  When  the  year  began  to  move 
along  smoothly,  we  began  to  think  about  events 
for  the  year.  Would  there  be  a  Junior  and  Senior 
Prom?  Who  would  make  the  honor  societies? 
Will  I  ever  cross  this  burning  sand?  All  of  these 
were  questions  which  ran  through  our  minds. 


In  January  of  1955  James  Clark,  Vida  Mc- 
Conneaughey,  Julia  Bryant,  Sarah  Leach, 
George  Brown,  Samuel  Brown,  Marjorie  Forte 
and  Shirley  Addison  were  initiated  into  Alpha 
Kappa  Mu.  In  Phi  Kappa  Alpha  went  Vida 
McConneaughey  and  Samuel  Brown  and  to 
Sigma  Rho  Sigma  was  added  Vida  McCon- 
neaughey and  Ilene  Moore.  To  Beta  Kappa 
Chi  went  Robert  Turner  and  Janes  Hill. 

By  this  time  we  had  in  our  class  a  queenly 
court.  Shirley  Cherry  was  chosen  "Sweetheart 
of  Alpha  Phi  Alpha,"  Barbara  Parker,  the 
"Sigmas  Sweetheart"  and  Lela  Amons,  "The 
Sweetheart  of  Kappa  Alpha  Psi." 

When  the  year  was  over,  we  had  prepared 
ourselves  in  every  respect  to  be  called  seniors. 

We  came  back  with  work  in  our  systems  and 
co-operation  in  our  minds. 

To  the  queenly  court  was  added  Vivian 
Mackey,  "Miss  Saint  Augustine's,"  and  De- 
lores  Thomas,  "Queen  of  Omega  Psi  Phi." 

To  the  honor  societies,  James  Hill  was  initi- 
ated into  Alpha  Kappa  Mu,  in  Phi  Kappa 
Alpha  went  George  Johnson,  Willie  Newell, 
Ilene  Moore,  Sarah  Leach,  and  Shirley  Ad- 
dison. James  Clark,  George  Johnson,  Vida  Mc- 
Conneaughey, Marjorie  Forte,  Willie  Newell, 
Robert  Turner,  Samuel  Brown,  Julia  Bryant, 
Dejuanna  Browning,  and  George  Brown  were 
named  Who's  Who  Among  Students  in  'American 
Colleges  and  Universities. 

We  prepared  ourselves  in  every  way  for 
graduation,  and  at  last  May  21,  1956,  was  here. 

Four  more  chapters  were  added  to  the  history 
of  Saint  Augustine's,  four  years  of  work  and 
time.  We  have  completed  our  studies  on  this 
campus,  but  where  shall  we  go  from  here?

CLASS  PRAYER 

Dear  Lord,  to  Thee  we  come  today, 
With  our  College  Parting  Prayer; 
We  ask  that  with  us  Thou  will  stay, 
As  we  go  here  and  there. 


We  hate  to  depart  from  this  dear  School, 
But  we  realize  that  we  must  do  so; 
Therefore,  help  us  to  remember  this  rule, 
'Do  your  best  where'er  you  go." 

Our  Heavenly  Father,  we  Thank  Thee, 
For  the  learning  that  we  have  received 
From  the  wonderful  teachers  at  St.  Aug, 
Whom  we  regret  much  to  leave. 

During  our  stay  at  Dear  Ole  St.  Aug, 
We've  enjoyed  and  loved  it  so; 
That  we  ask  Thy  Blessings  upon  this  School, 
Which  is  honest  and  worthy,  we  know. 

When  the  last  student  of  "56"  cannot  be  found. 

God  will  be  with  us  we  know; 

But  memories  will  still  linger  behind  us, 

As  all  classes  come  and  go. 

Guide  us,  The  Senior  Class  of  "56" 
Watch  o'er  us  from  day  to  day; 
Keep  us  loyal,  kind,  and  cheerful, 
Make  us  more  like  Thee,  we  Pray. 

Betty  J.  Hartsfield

LAST  WILL  AND  TESTAMENT 


We  the  class  of  1956,  being  in  good  mental  condition 
as  usual,  and  in  much  better  temper  than  usual,  do 
hereby  declare  this  to  be  our  last  will  and  testament. 
As  to  such  estate  as  it  has  pleased  the  fates  and  our  own 
capable  hands  and  brains  to  win  for  us,  we  do  dispose 
of  the  same  as  follows: 

To  our  President,  Dr.  James  A.  Boyer,  we  bequeath 
our  undying  love  and  affection  for  the  guidance  and 
justice  he  so  graciously  gave  us. 

To  our  Deans,  Faculty  and  Staff,  we  bequeath  our 
sincere  love  and  appreciation  for  their  unfailing  kindness 
and  aid. 

To  our  Advisor,  Mr.  C.  H.  McLendon,  we  bequeath 
our  gratitude  and  thanks  for  being  our  rock  and  main- 
stay, and  wish  for  him  success  with  other  students  in 
years  to  come. 

To  the  Junior  Class,  our  rightful  heirs,  we  leave  our 
most  important  and  valuable  properties,  our  self-satis- 
faction, our  importance,  and  our  wisdom  we  possess  in 
enormous  quantities  and  we  hope  that  the  said  gifts 
will  be  used  with  pride. 

To  the  Sophomore  Class,  we  bequeath  the  ability  to 
face  and  overcome  any  tasks  which  confront  them  be- 
fore graduation. 

To  our  friends,  the  Freshman  Class,  we  leave  the 
courage  to  endure  any  obstacles  which  they  might 
encounter  before  they  become  Seniors. 

The  following  may  seem  trifling  bequeaths,  but  we 
hope  they  may  be  accepted,  not  as  worthless  things, 
lavishly  thrown  away,  but  as  valuable  assets  to  those 
who  may  receive  them,  and  a  continual  reminder  of 
the  generosity  of  heart  displayed  in  our  bestowal.

CLASS  PROPHECY 


The  Scene:  The  action  of  this  skit  takes  place  on  a 
straight  through  train  from  California  to 
North  Carolina. 

The  Time:       May  19,  1981. 

(A  middle-aged  lady  comes  in  the  train  and  is  having 
difficulty  in  placing  her  bag  on  the  rack.  An  eminent 
gentleman,  professionally  dressed,  is  seated  in  front  of 
where  the  lady  is  standing.  The  lady  speaks): 

Vida:  Pardon  me  sir,  but  would  you  mind  helping 
me  with  my  bags? 

Wade:  (suddenly  realizing  that  someone  is  behind 
him)  Certainly  not,  Madam.  Excuse  my  rudeness.  (He 
immediately  rises  and  places  the  bag  securely  on  the 
rack.) 

Vida:  Thank  you,  Sir.  (She  proceeds  to  look  for  her 
seat  number,  mumbling  to  herself)  41 — forty — Oh! 
Yes,  here  it  is,  number  42.  I  believe  it  is  beside  you  sir. 

Wade:  Yes,  it  is.  Do  have  a  seat.  (She  sits  after  the 
gentleman  removes  her  coat.  Then,  she  scans  her 
present  surroundings  and  notices  the  initials  on  the 
written  document  from  which  her  seatmate  reads — 
J.  W.,  Attorney  at  Law,  Berkeley,  Calif.  She  then  notices 
the  name  JAMES  WADE  on  the  brief  case  on  the 
floor.  She  repeats  the  name,  but  not  wanting  to  be 
inquisitive,  she  sits  idly.) 

Wade:  (Scanning  his  paper)  The  weather  in  Cali- 
fornia is  beautiful  these  days.  Do  you  live  here? 

Vida:  (Happy  for  a  moment  to  talk)  No,  I  have  been 
on  tour  and  I  am  making  a  return  trip.  I  noticed  your 
name  is  James  Wade.  I  remember  a  friend  of  mine  in 
college  by  that  same  name. 

Wade:     Is  that  right?  Where  did  you  attend  college? 

Vida:  At  St.  Augustine's  in  Raleigh.  Oh,  that  has 
been  years  ago. 

Wade:  (Astonished,  but  reserved)  St.  Augustine's? 
That  happens  to  be  my  Alma  Mater. 

Vida:  It  is?  Then  you  are  probably  the  James  Wade 
I  knew.  Do  you  remember  a  naive  little  girl  by  the 
name  of  Vida  McConneaughey? 

Wade:  Do  I?  Why  I  will  never  forget  her  even  if  it 
were  fifty  years  from  now.  She  was  a  busy-body  young 
lady.  No,  indeed,  I  could  never  forget  my  adopted  sis, 
Vida.  She  was  quite  a  girl  in  college. 

Vida:  (Fully  aware  of  the  fact  that  he  has  failed  to 
recognize  her.)  Yes  she  was.  Where  is  she  now? 

Wade:  Well,  I  don't  know,  to  tell  the  truth.  I  never 
heard  from  her  after  graduation.  I  certainly  would  like 
to  hear  from  her  or  see  her  now. 


Vida:  (A  little  resentful)  Well,  Mr.  Wade,  you  are 
looking  at  Mrs.  Vida  McConneaughey  Germany  right 
now. 

Wade:  (Jerking  his  glasses  off)  No.  It  can't  be? 
Vida? 

Vida:      (smiling)  None  other. 

Wade:  (Not  quite  recovering  from  his  shock)  You 
have  changed  so  I  hardly  recognized  you.  After  twenty- 
five  years,  I  should  forget.  After  all,  I  am  aging  everyday. 

Vida:  You  may  be,  but  I  am  certainly  not.  It  only 
seems  like  yesterday  that  I  was  at  dear  ole  St.  Aug.  as 
a  student. 

Wade:  Say,  do  you  ever  hear  from  any  of  our  old 
classmates? 

Vida:  Well,  while  I  was  traveling,  I  went  to  Florida 
and  spent  a  few  days  in  Tallahassee  with  my  old  room- 
mate, Carolyn  Mackey.  She  is  Mrs.  Andrew  Knight, 
now.  She  has  two  lovely  children  and  her  son  is  a  junior 
at  St.  Aug.  Of  course  you  know  St.  Augustine's  is  a 
university.  Jeffrey  Cuffee  is  Dean  of  the  School  of  Re- 
ligion and  his  wife,  Ilene  Moore,  is  Dean  of  the  School 
of  Social  Work.  She  has  Eudora  Ector  and  Molly  Bur- 
well  as  her  assistants. 

Wade:  Isn't  that  fine.  Walter  Swindell  has  founded 
a  School  of  Social  Work  in  the  Virgin  Islands.  Robert 
Turner  owns  a  medical  clinic  down  there.  James  Hill  is 
employed  as  Supervisor  of  Labratory  Technicians  in 
this  clinic.  He  and  Turner  found  a  cure  for  cancer. 

Vida:  I  was  reading  about  that  in  the  Wooden  Journal, 
which  is  edited  by  James  Wooden!  Ina  Holloway  is 
directing  an  English  Clinic  in  this  same  building  in 
Chicago.  I  visited  there  during  my  tour.  Ad61ph  Greene 
and  Doris  Burney  are  married  and  are  living  there, 
also.  Adolph  is  proprietor  of  Greene's  A. B.C.  Business 
College.  He  has  on  his  staff  Eloise  Washington,  Lillian 
Roberts,  Dejuanna  Browning,  Bettye  Burgess  and  Betty 
Hartsfield.  Doris  is  supervising  a  kindergarten.  She  has 
Mable  Spearman,  Valerie  Fields,  Margaree  Jones, 
Samuel  Williams,  Betty  Jones,  Richard  Cox  and  Wini- 
fred Lee  working  with  her. 

Wade:  Speaking  of  Illinois,  I  saw  Frances  Coble  in 
Danville.  She  is  supervising  elementary  schools  there. 
Gwendolyn  and  Teola  Jones  are  working  with  the  Dept. 
of  Education  on  the  Advisory  Board.  Both  of  them  are 
married  and  living  in  Danville. 

Vida:  I  attended  a  concert  in  Los  Angeles  given  by 
Thelma  Bowens.  She  performed  beautifully  at  the  piano. 
Leroy  Harrison  and  John  Freeman  are  her  managers. 
Theressa  Newkirk  and  Myrna  Home  are  their  secre- 
taries.

Wade:  Oh,  yes  I  heard  Thelma  on  a  superb  per- 
formance in  the  Dunston  Hall  of  Fame  in  New  York 
city.  Samuel  Dunston  is  proprietor.  He  has  Marjorie 
Forte,  Ethel  Ford  and  Sarah  Gibson  working  with  him. 
Eva  Nell  Sanders  and  Lena  Duncan  are  joint  pro- 
prietors of  THE  SANDERS-DUNCAN  ATHLETIC 
CLUB  in.  New  York.  Ruth  High  and  Lydia  Utley  are 
supervising  physical  therapy  in  this  club.  James  A. 
Jones,  Frank  Terrell  and  Sydney  Smith  are  also  on  the 
staff. 

Vida:  Did  you  read  where  James  Clark  was  inaugu- 
rated as  president  of  Cornell  University?  Robert  Robin- 
son is  Dean  of  the  School  of  Law  and  Lela  Amons  is 
on  the  supervising  committee  in  the  School  of  Ele- 
mentary Education.  Helen  McClamb  is  Dean  of  the 
School  of  Business.  Roberta  Hinton,  Ruby  Moses  and 
Clyde  Terrell  are  on  the  teaching  staff. 

Wade:  Mamie  Reynolds  is  traveling  with  the  Art 
Designers,  Inc.  I  saw  her  in  Topeka,  Kansas,  while  I 
was  visiting  J.  B.  Small  and  Shirley  Addison.  They  are 
married  and  J.  B.  owns  a  Veternarian  Hospital  there. 
He  has  George  Brown  and  Bessie  Barco  working  on  his 
staff.  Vivian  Mackey,  Mary  Evelyn  Peay,  and  Jeannette 
Moore  are  doing  research  at  the  Smith  Labratory  in 
Witchita,  Kansas.  Ruvel  Smith  owns  this  place.  Ger- 
trude Holden  and  Gladys  Jiles  have  permanent  jobs 
there. 

Vida:  The  class  of  '56  is  really  making  its  contri- 
bution to  the  world.  George  Johnson,  who  has  received 
his  Ph.D.  in  French  is  president  at  Mdidlebury  College 
now.  Willie  Newell  is  Dean  of  Instructions.  Goldie 
Buffaloe  and  Barbara  Parker  are  in  charge  of  Leach's 
School  for  Elementary  Education  Trainees  in  Detroit. 
Sarah  Lou  Leach,  who  has  her  Ph.D.,  is  founder  and 
president.  She  makes  frequent  trips  to  Florida  to  visit 
her  beloved  husband.  Julia  Bryant  is  Registrar  at  this 
school. 

Wade:  Had  you  heard  that  Samuel  Browne  is  Bishop 
of  the  Diocese  of  South  Florida? 

Vida:  I  certainly  had.  Ilene  wrote  and  told  me  when 
he  was  ordained.  Speaking  of  Florida,  Randolph  Miller 
recently  bought  a  resort  in  Key  West.  Goldie  Thomas 
is  his  private  secretary.  George  Scott  is  a  practicing 
physician  down  there.  Did  you  hear  that  John  McRae  is 
Dean  of  the  School  of  Social  Work  in  Atlanta  at  the 
University?  Ronald  Washington  is  Director  of  Recre- 
ation in  the  city  of  Atlanta.  He  certainly  has  done 
wonderful. 

Wade:  Speaking  of  Tony,  what  ever  happend  to 
Donald  Young? 

Vida:  Why,  Donald  Young  is  working  with  the 
Naval  Orthopedic  Division.  He  recently  toured  the 
world.  He  appeared  once  on  the  THIS  IS  YOUR 
LIFE,  show. 


Wade:  We  have  talked  of  everybody,  but  where  is 
Shirley  Cherry? 

Vida:  Shirley  yCherry,  after  receiving  her  Ph.D.  in 
Art  Designing,  is  directing  a  models  school  in  Baltimore. 
She  fashions  sometimes  on  these  world  tours.  She  is 
married  now  and  is  making  her  home  in  Baltimore.  I 
met  Alma  Taylor  there.  She  owns  a  cosmetologist 
school.  Gloria  Brown  is  her  assistant. 

Wade:  When  you  mentioned  Gloria,  it  made  me 
think  of  Dorothy  Frizzell.  She  is  a  lecturer  for  the 
American  Friends  Association.  Her  home  is  in  Connecti- 
cut. Oh  yes,  Helen  McDowell  is  supervisor  of  the  New 
Haven  Hospital.  Joseph  Carter  was  a  patient  there  after 
fracturing  his  knee  in  this  game  between  Army  and 
Navy.  He  plays  for  the  Army  Team. 

Vida:  I  read  about  the  wonderful  record  Joseph 
Carter  has  made.  I  saw  him  about  ten  years  ago  in 
Miami,  Florida.  He  was  in  the  MAGGIE  GREENE 
HOSPITAL  at  that  time.  By  the  way,  Howard  Todd  is 
training  the  Navy  team.  Catherine  Moye  is  a  Medical 
Social  Worker  and  Doris  Jones  is  a  Psychiatric  Social 
Worker  in  Jacksonville,  Florida. 

Wade:  Oh,  yes,  Lillie  Weston  was  crowned  as  the 
Most  Outstanding  Woman  of  the  Year  by  Woman's 
Home  Journal  last  year.  Annie  Ruth  Monk  is  Editor 
of  this  magazine.  Delois  Thomas  is  secretary  to  the 
President  of  the  United  States.  She  had  a  job  offered 
to  her  in  Washington  before  her  graduation  you  know, 
and  now  she  has  worked  up  to  this  position. 

Vida:  I  was  really  happy  for  her  when  I  read  about 
it.  Lois  Jones  is  Director  of  Physical  Education  at 
Howard  LIniversity. 

Wade:  Yes,  Yes.  Just  look  at  the  progress  the  Class 
of  '56  has  made  in  twenty-five  years. 

Vida:  It  is  quite  remarkable,  isn't  it?  What  have  you 
done  for  yourself? 

Wade:  Well,  nothing  much  in  comparison  to  what 
some  have  done.  I  am  an  attorney  in  Berkeley,  Cali- 
fornia. At  present,  I  am  enroute  to  St.  Augustine's 
LIniversity  to  deliver  the  commencement  address  after 
twenty-five  years.  What  have  you  done? 

Vida:  I  have  been  touring  the  United  States  and 
Canada  giving  a  series  of  lectures  for  the  American 
Federation  of  Women.  And  I  am  also  enroute  to  "dear 
old  St.  Aug."  to  attend  my  son's  graduation.  Just  think 
twenty-five  years  ago  today,  we  were  preparing  to 
march  down  the  aisles  of  St.  Augustine's  College  to 
receive  our  Bachelors.  How  time  passes!  (And  so  it 
ends.  The  Class  of  1956  has  taken  its  rightful  place  in 
this  dynamic  world.)
