Foreirord 


Of  Thee  we  sing,  dear  Alma  Mater!  To  you  within  whose  walls  we  have  spent 
these  four  vears  so  fraught  with  laughter  and  tears,  we  raise  our  song!  What  price- 
less gifts  have  you  bestowed  upon  our  heads!  Wisdom,  truth,  humility,  honor, 
service,  lovalty,  brotherhood,  manhood,  womanhood  and  reverence  with  which  you 
have  imbued  us.  seeking  to  prepare  us  not  for  school  but  for  more  abundant  life. 

To  the  members  of  the  faculty  who  have  struggled  so  diligently  to  help  us  on  our 
journev.  we  offer  our  sincere  thanks,  and  it  is  to  them  that  we  dedicate  this  book 
as  an  outward  and  visible  sign  of  an  inner  and  spiritual  appreciation  for  their  efforts 
which  we  know  at  some  times  seemed  to  be  directed  toward  a  helpless  cause.  To  our 
fellow  students  who  have  helped  to  make  our  book  a  success,  we  say  "Que  dien  vous 
lienisse."'  To  all  people  connected  with  Dear  Saint  Augustine's  we  offer  our  heartfelt 
thanks,  and  as  we  go  out  into  the  cold,  cold  world  to  meet  the  foe,  we  give  you  our 
sincere  pledge.  "We  shall  not  fail;  we  shall  toil  and  toil  with  the  tools  you  have 
gi\en  to  us:  we  shall  hold  high  the  torch  and  finallv  emerge  victorious  over  the  enemv. 
for  We  Face  a  .\eir  Day  oj  Problems  and  Chunf^es:  But  With  Courage."

CLASS   HISTORY 

Here  we  are  on  that  home  stretch,  htokiiig  back  with  pride  u]3on  the  ground  already  covered.  Let  us  reminisce 
a  bit.  Monday.  September  20.  1942.  was  a  beautiful  sunny  day  when  !U  frightened  and  "green"  freshmen  entered 
St.  Augustine's  Campus.  The  first  week  of  initiation  sent  shivers  over  us  all  and  started  a  number  of  us  repacking 
our  trunks  to  go  back  to  old  familiar  places — home.  We  managed  to  breast  these  ills  and  quicklv  entered  upon 
our  studies  with  zest  and  heart-ridden  ambition.  In  our  second  semester,  having  the  feeling  of  belonging,  we  or- 
ganized our  class  with  .Joseph  Saunders.  President:  Harold  Wright.  Vice  President;  Cordelia  Blackburn.  Secre- 
tary; Edith  Sands.  Assistant  Secretary;  and  Queen  Moore.  Treasurer.  Our  student  council  representatives  were 
George  Sadler  and  Lucretia  Anthonv. 

In  this  same  year  we  represented  nearly  every  extra-curricular  acti\itv  on  the  campus.  The  freshmen  girls 
organized  for  the  first  time  the  Thomas  Building  Council  under  Miss  M.  L.  Fancher.  We're  even  prouder  of 
ourselves  for  having  been  the  first  Freshman  Class  to  present  an  assembly  program.  It  was  in  this  year  that 
Joseph  Saunders  and  Pattie  Laws  won  the  prizes  for  the  highest  scholastic  averages  in  General  Biology.  George 
Sadler  won  the  Omega  Psi  Phi  Fraternity  award  and  Joseph  Saunders  the  Phi  Beta  Sigma  Fraternity  award. 
Algie  Mayo  was  awarded  the  prize  for  the  greatest  improvement  in  Freshman  English.  Hattie  Redden  received 
the  Zeta  Sigma  Rho  Society  award.  As  freshmen,  we  were  well  represented  academically,  socially  and  also  re- 
ligiously as  we  remember  our  large  and  steady  Sunday  s:hool  class  under  Mr.  McStallworth. 

As  the  months  passed,  the  war  waged  on.  not  sparing  our  class  at  all.  When  we  returned  as  Sophomores, 
there  were  only  38  of  us.  We  began  to  miss  such  familiar  faces  as  T.  Johnson.  E.  Williams.  M.  White.  A.  L  nder- 
due.  0.  Crump.  Muse,  Miller.  Piper.  Anderson,  Robinson — all  of  whom  had  fallen  victims  of  the  draft.  To 
offset  this  a  bit.  we  welcomed  two  new-comers — Catherine  Williams  from  Benedict  College  and  Hilda  Lewis,  a 
former  member  of  St.  Augustine's.  Our  class  officers  for  the  year  were  Harold  Wrigiit.  President;  Xeal  Stitt. 
Vice  President;  Pattie  Laws.  Secretary;  and  George  Sadler,  Treasurer.  We  held  up  our  once-begun  representa- 
tion in  all  activities.  Remembering  the  motto,  "Climb  though  the  path  be  rugged,"  we  did  not  allow  any  of  our 
plans  to  be  annihilated.  We  were  destined  to  excel  in  all  our  endeavors.  We  led  the  honor  roll  for  the  year 
and  participated  in  every  activity  with  leading  roles. 

At  the  end  of  the  year  Neal  Stitt  won  the  first  prize  for  e.xcellence  in  literary  composition  and  Charles 
Farrar  won  second  prize  in  the  Du  Bignon  speaking  contest. 

Though  we  were  becoming  more  and  more  aware  of  the  evils  of  war.  we  were  carrying  on.  We  returned 
for  our  Junior  year  in  College  with  the  realization  that  we  were  living  in  turbulent  times  and  that  we  had  to  work 
diligently  and  keep  the  faith  of  those  who  had  departed  from  our  ranks.  We  tried  to  elect  a  strong  group  of 
officers  who  would  lead  us  in  successful  channels.  Neal  Stitt  was  elected  president;  Prezell  Robinson,  vice 
president;  Richie  Sands,  secretary;  Queen  Moore,  assistant  secretary;  Rebie  Wilson,  treasurer,  and  Cordelia 
Blackburn,  chairman  of  the  program  committee.  Among  new  members  were:  Prezell  Robinson.  Jackson  Wheeler, 
Mary  Wright,   Helen   Morton,   and  Minnie   Wright. 

Many  of  us  made  the  honor  roll  and  at  the  beginning  of  the  second  semester  our  plans  were  taking  shape 
for  the  Prom  and  other  activities.  During  National  Music  Week  we  presented  a  delightful  program  of  music 
of  all  ages.  Later  we  entered  the  popularity  contest  with  Minnie  Wright,  a  new-comer,  as  our  candidate.  Our 
Junior-Senior  prom  was  very  successful  and  everyone  had  a  delightful  time.  Neal  Stitt  became  president  of  the 
Acies,  Cordelia  Blackburn,  first  president  of  the  Clionic  Society,  George  Stanley,  Director  of  the  Brotherhood 
of  St.  Andrew.  Pattie  Laws,  Vice  President  of  Les  Elites  Society,  Augustine  Morrison,  Vice  President  of  the 
Zeta  Sigma  Rho  Society,  Queen  Moore,  Secretary  of  Veledas  and  Margarita  Lewis  served  as  Secretary  of  Girls 
Service  League.  Pattie  Laws  was  also  president  of  the  Delanv  House  Government.  George  Sadler  captain  of 
the  Basketball  Team.     Charles  Farrar  became  first  colored  president  of  the  N.  C.  Episcopal  Students"  Conference. 

At  the  end  of  the  year  after  tears  and  worries,  we  realized  that  we  were  rising  seniors  and  that  a  great  task 
lay  before  us.     Hattie  Redden  was  awarded  the  Delanv  Scholarship  based  on  scholarship,  character  and  promise

f  future  usefulness;  Auarustine  Morrison  won  the  Latham  award  for  constructive  leadership  during  sophomore 
d  junior  years;  Pattie  Laws  won  one  of  the  prizes  offered  for  excellency  in  English  Composition.  So  the  year 
Jrew  to  a  close  and  ahead  of  us  lay  the  goal  post — the  last  mile.    God  only  knew  what  it  would  bring. 

Seniors!  The  word  struck  a  deep  note  in  our  hearts.  We  felt  that  we  had  come  over  the  rough  and  steep 
lills  and  we  lost  no  time  in  organizing  ourselves  and  making  plans  for  a  memorable  vear.  After  much  delibera- 
ion  and  meditation  we  elected  Charles  Farrar,  President;  ISeal  Stitt.  Vice  President;  Sarah  DuPree,  Secretary; 
']dith  Sands.  Assistant  Secretary;  and  Rebie  Wilson.  Treasurer.  We  began  to  plan  for  our  senior  publication, 
''he  Pen  which  was  to  be  the  best  in  the  schooFs  history.     We  also  decided  to  be  the  leaders  in  reorganizitig

Dedicated  to  Yon  •  •  • 


THROUGH  the  years  you  have  kept  high  the  buming  torch 
of  womanhood.  You  have  never  deviated  from  the  high 
moral  standards  that  we  know  were  imbued  in  you  from 
birth.  Gentle,  dignified,  wise  and  motherly,  you  have 
strived  so  diligently  to  make  women  of  us  all.  Never, 
never  once  have  you  shown  us  that  you  saw  no  good  in  us; 
never  have  you  refused  to  listen  to  our  childish  pleas. 
You  have  nursed  our  ills,  you  have  dried  our  tears  and 
soothed  our  wounds.  Your  kindly  advice  always  found 
its  way  to  our  hearts  even  if  our  heads  ignored  it.  In  so 
many  simple  ways  have  you  tried  to  be  a  mother  to  us  who 
are  so  far  away  from  home. 

If  we  have  seemed  ungrateful;  if  we  at  times  seemed 
incorrigible;  if  we  have  rended  your  heart  with  our  care- 
lessness, thoughtlessness  and  often  our  callousness — if  we 
have  done  any  of  these  things.  FORGIVE  US.  MOTHER, 
DEAR.  We  want  you  to  know  that  we  are  weak  and  fool- 
i-li  and  often  do  things  that  we  regret  the  minute  .they  are  done.  Although  we  seem  incorrigible 
,it  time-  there  is  some  good  in  us  and  we  shall  try  to  bring  it  forth  from  day  to  day. 

Vk  f  cherish  the  good  that  you  have  done  for  us.  We  admire  your  dignity,  poise  and  those 
inlaiigihle  qualities  you  possess  which  set  you  apart  from  the  average  woman.  May  we  some 
il.i\   develop  those  qualities  and  stand  out  as  you  do. 

Therefore,  it  is  with  sincere  regret  that  we  must  bring  our  closer  friendship  to  an  end. 
\\  !■  realize  that  you  have  sustained  us  thus  far  and  as  we  look  into  the  dim,  distant  future,  we 
\\Hiii|('r  ii  we  can  hold  ourselves  up  without  your  noble  assistance.     We  hope  we  can  and  with

ra\er-  and  Gods  help,  we  believe  we  can.

To  Class  of  1948: 

Having  traveled  tliree-loiirlhs  of  the  rough  road  to  Education,  we  the  members 
of  the  Junior  Class  feel  that  we  are  in  a  position  to  give  vou  advice  and  helpful 
hints  that  we  have  picked  up  along  tile  way.  We  feel,  too,  that  vou  will  appreciate 
these  suggestions  coming  from  us  as  older  brothers  and  sisters. 

We  have  found  that  in  anv-  organization,  be  it  an  organaization  for  business  or 
one  for  pleasure,  little  can  be  accomplished  without  the  cooperation  of  each  member. 
"No  chain  is  stronger  than  its  weakest  link."  Nothing  much  is  gained  when  it  is  done 
in  a  haphazard  sort  of  wav.  System  is  essential.  Enough  emphasis  cannot  be  placed 
on  this. 

As  members  of  a  student  bodv  that  is  well-known  and  respected  in  North  Carolina, 
vou  must  remember  that  evervthing  vou  do  reflects  on  the  institution.  Alwavs  think 
before  you  act.  Speaking  in  a  frai\k  manner,  this  refers  to  a  lot  of  you  members 
individually. 

There's  one  thing  needed  in  the  fight  for  learning  that  cannot  be  called  anything 
but  "stick-to-it-iveness."  That  is  as  plain  as  we  can  make  it.  Diligence,  faithfulness 
and  constant  pursuit  of  a  definite  thing  brings  rich  rewards. 

Then,  there's  that  feeling  of  responsibility.  Remember  there  are  some  people  who 
care  whether  vou  succeed  or  not.  care  whether  vou  hold  vour  head  high  or  let  it  drop, 
care  whether  vou  forget  how  much  it  means  to  them  to  have  you  on  the  top  shelf. 
Those  people  are  vour  parents.  To  them  vou  exemplify  the  finest  maidiood  and 
womanhood  in  the  world,  because  you're  all  their  own. 

So  keep  in  mind  the  aforementioned  necessities  for  a  really  successful  college  career, 
namely:  Cooperation,  self-respect,  "stick-to-it-iveness,"  responsibility  and  regard  for 
others.  Armed  with  these  weapons  plus  the  earnest  desire  to  really  "go  places,  "  how 
can  you  avoid  being  a  class  in  the  future,  of  which  Saint  Augustine's  may  be  justly 

proud? 

Sincere   wishes, 

THE  JUNIOR   CLASS   '47

Sophomore  Class 


The  ihorned-rose.  the  sorrow,  and  our  previous  title  has  passed;  we  are  now 
on  the  second  rung  of  the  success  ladder  and  nearer,  the  inevitahle.  Ournumber, 
though  lessened  by  '"time  and  tide,"  still  has  its  nucleus  of  determination,  faith, 
and  ability  regardless  of  our  shortcomings  and  blunders.  "Time  marches  on," 
and  we  strive  to  keep  in  pace — in  acquisition  and  conformity  to  our  past  year  of 
experiences. 

Now  we  are  sophomores — fools  made  wiser  by  the  knowledge,  teachings,  and 
experiences  of  our  benign  teachers  and  advisers.  All  that  we  have  achieved,  at- 
tained, and  retained,  we  owe  to  their  ceaseless  efforts.  Our  gratitude  has  no  depth 
nor  our  laud  any  height; 

In  spite  of  our  present  world  of  chaos  and  confusion,  sophomores,  our  future 
is  assured.  We  have  our  flaws  and  realizing,  too,  our  diverse  mistakes  and 
adverse  criticisms;  nevertheless  with  obedience  to  God  and  service  to  our  fellow- 
mates,  we  shall  attain  the  ultimate  goal  of  true  democracy — good  citizenship. 

James   H.    Faniel.   President.

Fresshman  Class 


■<V-    .'-  -■•-. 


In  September  the  freshman  class  of  "45-*46  entered  Saint  Augustine's  un- 
prepared and  very  shy:  but  with  a  will  and  determination  to  get  adjusted  and 
to  succeed. 

From  the  beginning  we  worked  with  an  unceasing  effort  to  achieve  the 
goal  we  had  set  before  us.  With  aching  heads,  burning  eyes  and  tired  fingers 
we  worked,  never  getting  disappointed. 

During  the  time  we  spent  on  these  grounds,  we  have  found  out  that  Saint 
Augustine's  stands  for  truth,  loyalty  and  respect  of  persons  and  the  rights  of 
others;  and  through  these  things  we  hope  to  be  better  citizens  and  good  leaders 
in  our  various  walks  of  life. 

It  is  with  great  joy  that  we,  the  members  of  the  freshman  class,  are  able  to 
thank  our  instructors  and  advisers  for  all  the  benefits  obtained.  We  hope  to  put 
these  into  practice.

Augustine's  College  and  to  entourage  them  to  utilize  all  of  the  worthwhile  opportuni- 
ties offered  them  during  their  vears  in  college.  This  organization  is  composed  of 
the  young  women  of  the  Senior  Class.  During  our  years  here  we  have  become 
acquainted  with  the  problems  that  confront  the  freshmen  in  becoming  adjusted  to 
college  life.  \^  e  have  tried  to  make  this  transitional  period  easier  in  order  that  our 
little  sisters  will  ha\e  pleasant  memories  of  their  first  college  davs  and  will  endeavor 
two  years  hence  to  accept  the  responsibilitv  to  be  Big  Sisters  to  the  freshmen  girls 
in  1948-49.

THE  CLIOIVIC  SOCIETY 


The  Clionic  Society  is  the  outgrowth  of  the  interest  on  the  part  of  the  students  of 
Saint  Augustine's  College  in  current  issues  and  problems.  Mr.  T.  L.  Spraggins 
realized  that  many  of  the  students  enjoyed  debates,  group  and  panel  discussions. 
Therefore,  in  the  fall  of  1945  he  gathered  together  representatives — students  of  different 
classes — and  organized  the  Clionic  Society. 

The  qualifications  for  membership  are  very  simple:  an  average  of  "C"  in  academic 
work  and  an  interest  in  current  topics,  magazines  and  other  periodicals.  The  Clul) 
has  grown  in  membership  to  twenty-eight.  The  members  are  still  very  enthusiastic 
and  the  programs  presented  are  always  well  received.  Beside  panel  discussions  and 
the  like,  the  club  sponsors  several  social  affairs,  including  an  annual  fall  banquet 
and  an  annual  spring  picnic.  Miss  Cordelia  Blackburn  is  serving  for  the  second 
time  as  president  of  the  group.

LITERARY  EFFORT  OF  STUDENTS 
WHOSE  BLOOD  SAVED  CORPORAL  JOl^ES? 

It  didn't  matter  to  this  young  taxi  driver  from  Harlem.  It  didn't  matter  to  his  widowed  mother 
and  sisters  and  brothers  either.  Nor  did  it  matt?r  to  the  hundreds  of  thousands  of  Americans  all 
over  the  country.  But  it  did  matter  a  great  deal  to  Adolph  Hitler.  Why?  Because,  simply  that  blood  was 
one  of  the  great  reasons  why  he  and  his  murderous  henchmen   were   facing   inevitable   defeat. 

Thousands  of  us  gave  freely  of  our  blood  during  the  war.  Mr.  Contu.  the  little  Italian  peddler 
contributed  two  quarts  in  behalf  of  his  only  son  who  died  at  Pearl  Harbor.  Jacques,  the  French  chef 
at  the  big  hotel,  gave  also.  So  did  Mr.  Rause,  the  Dutch  jeweler;  Fa  Lung,  the  Chinese  laundry  boy, 
and  Albert,  the  Greek  student  at  the  Liniversity.  Mr.  Gallosky.  the  Jewish  storekeeper,  down  at  the 
corner,  closed  shop  early  one  afternoon  so  that  his  blood  could  help  to  save  the  lives  of  hundreds  of 
our  boys  at  Bataan. 

All  during  the  war.  there  were  vicious  propagandists  who  would  have  had  us  believe  that 
Negro  blood  was  inferior,  that  any  nation  that  had  even  a  drop  of  it  running  through  its  system 
was  a  weak,  degenerate  nation.  But  Corporal  Brown  proved  that  these  stories  were  all  lies,  that  there 
is  only  0\E  strain  of  blood— HUMAN  BLOOD! 

Because  of  the  discrimination  that  was  made  towards  our  blood  by  the  Red  Cross,  many  prejudiced 
people  believed  that  if  the  blood  of  a  different  people  were  transferred  to  another,  that  person  receiv- 
ing it  would  inherit  some  of  the  qualities  and  physical  characteristics  of  this  other  people.  Scientists 
have  proved  this  statement  to  be  wholly  untrue.  Plasma,  when  mixed  with  water,  could  and  was  used 
to  sa\e  the  life  of  any  man  or  any  woman  of  any  race  or  color  wounded  in  action  anywhere  in  the 
world. 

So.  what  difference  did  it  make  if  the  Red  Cross  did  label  our  blood?  When  the  need  for  this 
life-restoring  liquid  arose,  that  little  tag  on  the  jar  became  just  another  scrap  of  paper.  Our  blood 
saved  the  life  of  an  American  boy  who  may  have  been  our  own  brother,  father  or  husband.  That  is  all 
that  mattered. 

But.  still  you  ask.  whose  blood  did  save  Corporal  Brown?  Well,  suppose  we  just  sav  that  it 
was  the  blood  of  Jew  and  Gentile.  Catholic  and  Protestant.  Negro  and  White.  Democrat  and  Republican. 
Northerner   and    Southerner.      \^  e   shall    never   know,  and  we  should  not  even  care.

THE  FUTURE  OF  THE  ]\EGRO  YOUTH 

The  abrupt  ending  of  the  second  world  war  has  definitely  affetted  the  future  of  the  American 
Negro.  During  that  conflict  many  of  our  boys  made  the  supreme  sacrifice  without  flinching.  They 
were  found  in  all  theaters  of  the  war  fighting  to  preserve  that  which  thev  hold  so  dear  and  value  so 
highly — libertv.  As  a  result  of  their  constant  struggle  and  numerous  achievements,  they  have,  in  the 
last  two  or  three  decades,  caused  many  thoughtful  Americans  to  wonder  just  what  part  thev  would 
plav  in  the  postwar  world. 

Today,  our  boys  are  returning  home  by  the  thousands  to  an  America  which  they  hoped  would 
no  longer  be  veiled  with  prejudice  and  hatred.  They  are  trying  to  elevate  themselves  above  the 
mountains  of  indolence,  fear,  sloth,  ignorance  and  superstition  which  have  engulfed  for  more  than 
a  century.  This  means  that  they  will  soon  demand  their  rights,  and  in  so  doing,  they  will  in  all 
eventuality  open  many  doors  for  us.  But  how  many  of  us  will  be  able  to  enter  these  doors?  Only 
the  Negro  youth  can  answer  this  question.  Let  us  turn  to  them  with  renewed  hope  and  uplifted  heart. 
Their  eagerness  to  defend  the  principles  of  democracy  has  caused  our  hopes  to  soar  to  unheard  of 
heights.  If  they  gird  on  ambition,  they  will  surely  win.  With  that  one  incentive  worlds  have  been 
conquered. 

We  must  awaken  them  to  the  realization  that  preparation  is  the  key  to  success.  In  preparing 
themselves,  they  must  remember  that  education  is  their  chief  asset.  We  were  stopped  once  before 
because  of  lack  of  education.  We  can't  let  it  hinder  us  now!  We  must  stand  behind  our  vouth 
with  unfaltering  trust  and  staunch  belief.  Never  before  has  the  field  been  so  ripe  with  opportuni- 
ties. It  is  up  to  our  youth  to  choose  some  v^ocation  for  which  each  is  best  fitted.  They  must  become 
extremely  efficient  in  their  chosen  work.  Let  us  remember  that  our  tomorrow  must  be  built  on  the 
foundation  of  perseverance  and  faith. 

In  planning  for  today's  task,  we  must  remember  that  along  with  every  opportunity  comes  to  chal- 
lenge to  prove  our  worth  and  convince  our  fellow-Americans  that  we  should  be  allowed  to  share  in 
the  peace  that  is  yet  to  be  won. 

It  will  be  well  for  us  to  remember  and  put  into  practice   the  motto   of  the   late   Dr.   George   W.

Never   be   satisfied."

GOOD  SPORTSMAIVSHIP 

At  last  the  day  for  the  game  we've  all  been  waiting  for  has  arrived.  The  whistle  blows,  the  ball 
is  thrown  into  play,  and  the  great  test  of  skills  begins.  Backward,  and  forward,  the  players  dash  over 
the  court,  dribbling,  trying  tricky  shots,  and  when  the  timing  is  perfect,  sinking  the  ball  into  the 
basket  for  a  score.  This  coordination,  cooperation,  or  whatever  you  may  call  it,  among  those  five 
boys  on  the  court  determines  the  outcome  of  the  game.  Win  or  lose,  this  hand  of  fellowship  among 
the  players  which  we  would  like  to  call  sportsmanship  has  influenced  their  attitude  toward  their 
opponents. 

So  it  is  in  the  game  of  life.  From  the  moment  of  birth  we  begin  to  gather  unto  ourselves  some 
feeling  and  respect  for  the  rules  of  sportsmanship — good  or  bad.  In  our  daily  life  our  attitudes  in 
playing  this  all  important  game  fairly,  become  a  silken  cord  which  binds  us  to  others  and  others  to  us. 
We  know  that  we  cannot  win  all  the  time,  but  by  learning  to  be  more  skillful  in  dribbling  and 
trickv  shots  the  time  will  come  when  we  shall  make  a  score.  We  must  learn  to  take  our  losses  with 
a  smile  on  our  faces  and  to  shake  hands  with  the  opponent  sincerely  and  honestly. 

Sometimes  we  may  feel  that  we  have  done  all  that  we  can  in  abiding  by  the  rules  of  "the  game" 
and  still  we  are  cheated;  but  let  us  remember  this  that  "the  harder  the  defeat  the  sweeter  the  victory." 
How  much  more  we  appreciate  this  victory,  then,  because  we  know  that  to  our  opponents  we  have  ex- 
tended  the   hand    of   fellowship    and    found   in   them  an  eagerness  to  accept  it.

THE  TRUTH  SHALL   If  IKE  YOU  FREE 

Today,  nineteen  centuries  removed  from  the  time  of  the  utterance.  "The  Truth  Shall  Make  You 
Free."  the  workl  is  not  free.  Instead  of  there  being  perfect  truth,  the  world  is  filled  with  confusion 
and  gropes  in  darkness. 

Sometimes,  we  hear  the  expression:  "What  is  truth?"  There  are  any  number  of  definitions  of 
truth,  but  I  like  to  think  of  truth  as  being  steadfast  and  sincere — dealing  with  one"s  self  and  his 
fellow   men   and    following   in    the   way   and   statutes  of  one's  creator  and  leailer. 

Men  must  know  the  truth  and  must  be  able  to  distinguish  truth  from  falsehood.  They  must 
know  when  people  are  preaching  false  doctrines  and  must  be  able  to  withstand  them  lest  they  lead 
them  into  utter  chaos.  Whenever  this  idea  of  false  doctrines  comes  to  my  mind.  I  inevitably  think 
of  the  people  of  Nazi  Germany  and  Fascist  Italy  who  were  led  into  the  vallev  of  darkness  and 
despair  by  despots  who  filled  them  full  of  lies  and  deceitful  doctrines.  We  must  be  able  to  analyze 
the  teachings  of  such  persons  and  not  fall  victims  of  the  same.  It  is  true  that  the  Germans  proved 
superior  in  many  ways.  They  proved  this  without  a  doubt.  They  had  tenacity,  perseverance,  fore- 
sight, and  dexterity  which  enabled  them  to  advance  with  staggering  swiftness.  But.  as  the  saying 
goes:  "Truth  crushed  to  earth  will  rise  again"  and.  thus,  today  we  look  at  our  warped  and  vengeful 
enemy,  a  beaten  nation,   looking  to  the  people  they  scorned  for  meat  and  shelter. 

We  can  bring  our  minds  to  an  even  clearer  event  when  we  think  of  the  abuses  hurled  at  the 
Negroes,  and  after  having  been  abused,  falsely  accused,  oppressed  and  desolated,  they  have  achieved 
some  of  the  highest  places  ever  in  world  society.  They  have  made  more  progress  in  eighty  years  than 
any  race  under  the  sun. 

Men  who  know  the  truth  are  brave  and  unafraid.  In  this  connection  we  can  carry  our  minds 
a  long  way  back  to  the  oppression  of  the  Jews  in  Palestine  by  people  who  called  themselves  religionists 
and  descendants  of  Abraham.  The  Jews  were  beaten,  devastated,  and  distressed  until  a  certain  Nazarene 
came  to  their  rescue.  He  gave  them  the  truth  as  he  knew  it.  He  spoke  in  the  temple  among  enemies 
who  were  ready  to  take  away  his  life  at  that  same  time;  but  he  was  not  afraid.  We  ask  ourselves 
this  question:  "Why  did  this  Nazarene  speak  so  boldly  with  complete  freedom  from  fear  of 
religionists  who  attempted  to  mob  him?"  There  he  stands  speaking  in  the  temple  to  those  belie\ing 
in  him.  Listen  to  him!  Hear  for  yourselves  his  own  answer  to  the  question:  "If  ye  continue  in 
my  word,  then  ye  are  my  disciples  indeed  and  ye  shall  know  the  truth  and  The  Truth  Shall  Make 
you  Free."  He  was  finally  arrested  by  religionists,  held  in  custody,  and  abu.sed  and  derided,  falsely 
accused,  and  then  nailed  to  a  tree  till  lifeless.  But  he  died  a  free  man.  He  died  because  he  did  not 
choose  to  fight  back  with  powers  that  were  at  his  command.  He  died  because  the  interests  of  truth  con- 
cerning Himself  and  his  Father  would  be  more  fully  served  by  suffering  innocently  unto  death  than 
by  continuing  to  live  as  a  man. 

In  conclusion,  it  is  well  to  note  that  one  must  buy  the  truth  at  the  cost  of  his  time  and  effort 
spent  in  searching  for  freedom.

When   Hitler's  stridenl   l)attle-cry 
Eniliillered   and   ernliroiled  the   world 
A   dcizen   nations"   war-Hags 
Defiantly    unfurled. 

Proud   England  smiled   al   Ireland. 
And  lifte<l  thence  lier  maUed  hand. 
Removed    her    sword    from    India's    throat 
And   loosed   from   Egypt   her   garrote. 
Atoned  for  her  harsliness  to  each  colony. 
And   sent   the   call    throughout   her   span 
For  every  alile-hodied  man 
To  take  up  arm?  for  Liherty. 

And   stately   France   sent   to   Morocco 

Algeria.   Madagascar,  and   the  Congo 

Saying.  '"Take  your  sword  in  hand.  Black  Brothers, 

Get  your   rifie  out   and   clean   it: 

When   we   slew   your   sire   and   mothers. 

You  know  we  didn't  really  mean  it. 

All  your  sores  fr<tm  knives  and  lashes 

We  will  gladly  salve. 

All    those   unfair   tithes   and    taxes 

We  will   gladly   halve. 

No  more   pitiful   dole   for  you. 

No  forced  labor  with  pick  and  bar 

In  those  mines  we  stole  from  you. 

You  may  have  equality 

And  freedom  while  we  are  at  war — 

Come  and   fight   for   Liberty!" 


Japan,   hypocrytic    and    vain. 

Plotted   with   the  German   maniac. 

Said  "So  solly  if  honorable   blade  cause   pain," 

And  plunged  her  knife  in  America's  back. 

America  reeled  from   the  coward  blow  — 

Reeled  and  recovered  with  her  rage  aglow. 

The  brazen  trumpet-calls  rang  forth. 

East    and    West,   South    and    North. 

To  muster  men,  supplies,  machines. 

Soldiers,   sailors,   flyers,   marines. 

To  avenge  the  deadly  hypocrisy 

And   fight   to   protect   democracy. 

And  down  in  Georgia  or  Tennessee. 

A   mob  of  Southerners  around   a   tree 

Heard   their  country's  call   and   never   flinched. 

With   firm   foot-steps  that   did   not   lag. 

They   rallied    to    Democracy  s    flag. 

Leaving  hanging   in   that   tree 

A  burnt   and   tortured   amorphy — 

A  'nigger"  they  had  lynched. 

When  Hitler's  strident  battle-call  is  stilled,  no  more  to  blast. 
And    the    world    has    seen    the    Rising    Sun    fall    to    a    final 

setting  at  last. 
May  all  the  folk  of  the  world  agree 
To  follow  this  ancient  epitome: 
Freedom.  Justice.   Love   .   .   .   Charity 
SHOULD  BEGIN  AT  HOME. 


Life 


Who  would  think,  that  in  a  raindrop — 

Tlie   geometric   symmetry   of   a   snowflake   latent   lies. 

The  lake   is  a  singing  turquois  blue — 

But  when  I  dip  up  some  in  my  palm,  it  feigns  a  clear  hue. 


Out    upon    the    plains    of   hesitation. 

Lie  the  bones  of  countless  millions — 

Who    upon    reaching    the    threshold    of    success — rest,    and 

resting  died — 
This  .  .  .  is  .  .  .  Life. 

Irving  Mayson.  '4S. 


Wistful 

My  arms  are  the  proper  setting  for  a   jewel   like   her; 

But  I'm   too   shy 

I  fix  a  smile  upon  my  face  when  she  passes  by. 

She   returns   an    answering    smile    and    slightly   nods. 

Passing   me   by. 

I   should   overwhelm   her   with   ardencies,   but   I'm   too    shy. 

She  smiles  demurely,  yet   intriguingly — 

It  makes  me  sigh 

And  dream  of  storming  her  heart's  portals — but  I'm  too  shy.

OPE]\    LETTER 

To  the    Young    Women    of   the   Campus: 

Since  Saint  Augustine's  is  a  Co-edurational  college,  we  realize  that  harmony  among  its  inhabitants  is  to  be 
achieved  only  through  the  striving  of  members  of  both  sexes  to  be  a  brother  or  sister  to  his  or  her  mates. 

So  as  a  brother  to  you  all — and  I  do  consider  myself  a  brother — may  I  voice  the  young  men's  opinions  of 
you?     It  is  not   that  I  wish   to   down  you;    rather,   it   is   that  we  seek  an  understanding  on   both  our  parts. 

I  know  that  from  time  to  time  you  have  been  puzzled  with  the  actions  of  the  young  men  and  have  asked  your- 
selves "what's  wrong  with  the  boys?"  Well,  we've  done  the  same  and  now  we  wish  to  lake  a  trip  around  the 
campus  and  seek   to  remedy   these   many   shortcomings. 

Let  us  venture  to  the  dormitories  for  a  while.  There  we  see — every  day— a  certain  group  of  young  ladies 
entertaining  a  certain  group  of  weak  males,  not  thinking  to  give  the  other  girls  and  boys  a  chance,  and  causing 
these  weak  males  to  be  conditioned  and  flunked  in  class  work.  Had  you  ever  stopped  to  think  that  you're  causing 
your  future  husbands  to  spend  a  lifetime  trying  to  prepare  themselves  to  care  for  you?  Okay,  then,  so  lighten 
up  on  the  dates  and  give  the  fellows  a  chance  to  study.  They're  weak,  so  you  must  be  strong,  1  know  that  SOCI.\L 
HOURS  are  every  day  from  2:30  to  .S:.30,  but  that  does  not  mean  the  SAME  GIRLS  AND  EVERY  DAY?  Be- 
sides, the  less  he  sees  you  the  prettier  you  become,  and  vice  versa.  Since  the  campus  is  so  small  that  one  cannot 
step  out  of  his  dormitoi?  without  seeing  everybody,  then  why  not  limit  your  dates  to  once  a  week  and  maybe  Sundays? 
That's  common  sense,  for  then  you're  giving  the  other  hundreds  of  girls  a  chance  to  sit  on  a  sofa  with  their  guys. 

And,  by  the  way,  if  you  must  wear  those  top  coats  within  the  Dining  Hall,  then  please  stop  reaching  so  far  for 
food.  We'd  rather  see  your  pretty  dresses  when  we're  eating— show  them  more  often,  please.  And  the  least  you 
could  do  would  be  to  take  off  those  campus  caps  when  seated  at  a  table.  And  sister,  by  all  means,  please  stop  walking 
out  of  the  dining  hall  only  because  the  food  isn't  what  you  want.  Remember  that  there  are  hundreds  of  others 
who  don't  have  the  money  you  have,  and,  all  cooks  burn  food  sometimes,  and  besides,  it  reveals  poor  intelligence 
and   thoughtless   actions.      Sit   for   at   least    ten    minutes   even  if  you  don't  eat. 

Let  us  go  to  our  beloved  Chapel.  Shall  we  go  to  giggle,  move  and  replace  our  hymnals  as  noisily  as  we  can,  sit 
inattentively,  or  shall  we  go  to  meditate  and  secure  as  much  spiritual  uplifting  as  possible?  Then,  shall  we  resolve 
to   make   this   a   better   place   for   spiritual   food?      Wonderful!     \  step  forward! 

Oh,  it's  library  hour,  so  grab  your  book  and  meet  that  guy,  he's  waiting.  Just  the  thoughts  of  being  beneath 
a  silver  moon  and  the  beautiful  landscape  make  you  long  for  nightly  caresses.  What  do  you  think  that  guy  thinks  of 
you  for  meeting  him  in  such  an  illegal  manner?  The  library  is  a  place  for  studying  and  should  be  used  for 
such  in  a  quiet  way.    And  by  all  means  encourage  him  to  take  you  by  the  Cheshire  Building  on  the  way  home! 

The  monthly  social  comes  up  tomorrow  night.  Are  you  planning  to  attend?  No?  Why?  The  Boys  only  dance 
with  a  "few"  girls?  Oh  sis,  you're  forgetting  that  the  meaning  of  the  word  SOCI.AL  is  not  limited  to  dancing  alone. 
Besides,  the  boys  are  only  human  beings,  seeking  in  a  world  of  preservation,  to  conserve  leather — dancing  with  those 
who  offer  the  most  entertainment  for  the  length  of  a  rec  rd.  You  must  admit  that  an  intelligent  conversation  while 
dancing  adds  much  to  enjovment.  So,  to  the  "few"  las  you  say)  who  have  been  fortunate  enough  to  dance  every 
dance,  we  say  'THANKS  SIS,  FOR  A  LITTLE  COMMON  SENSE  AND  KNOWLEDGE  OF  HOW  TO  CARRY 
ON  AN  INTELLIGENT  CONVERSATION." 

Sister,  don't  be  a  cheer  leader  unless  you  can  control  your  tongue,  for  we  all  know  that  school  spirit  here  is 
poor.  Sometimes  we  are  emotionally  drained  and  don't  feel  like  yelling,  although  the  boys  are  playing  a  swell  game. 
If  you  must  be  a  cheer  leader  remember  "A  slip  of  the  lip  (with  the  boysi    really  sinks  a  ship. ' 

And  about  dormitory  secrets,  they're  to  be  kept  within  the  dormitory.  Boys  will  listen  to  your  telling  them, 
but  their  opinion  of  your  reliability,  in  the  end,  is  lowered. 

Sisters,  we  don't  mean  to  be  harsh  in  any  way,  we  only  wish  that  you  be  nice  young  women  by  remedying 
your  shortcomings,  thus  causing  us  to  become  better  and  more  alert  brothers.  It  is  then  only  that  Saint  Augustine  s 
will  be  the  college  of  our  ideal  and  a  campus  conducive  to   work. 

In  other  words,  before  you  act,  think  through   the  matter   and  say,  "I'm   going   to   give   the   other  fellow,   as   well 

as  myself,  a  chance." 

Sincerely, 

Co-editor,

A  LEADI]\G  LADY  OF  THE  CAMPUS 


Mrs.  L.  G.  O'Danicl 


I  was  very  pleased  when  the  staff  asked  me  to  intervew  Mrs. 
O'Daiiiel  for  the  Pe.n.  I  have  been  associated  with  her  since 
-lie  lias  been  with  the  Music  Department  here  and  I  Icnow  her 
a>  a  very  charming  person  with  whom  all  students  can  feel  ut- 
!<m1\  at  ease.  Of  course.  1  could  not  talk  about  everything 
idiinected  with  her  life  because  time  would  not  permit.  There- 
fore, after  chatting  about  this  and  that  we  got  down  to  business. 
Naturally  her  music  career  was  the  highlight  of  the  tete-a- 
li-le.  She  started  from  her  childhood  and  worked  up  to  the 
present  and  after  she  had  finished  I  knew  perfectly  well  why 
our  music  department  ha;-  been  so  enriched  since  she  has  been 
licre. 

A?  a  child.  Mrs.  O'Daniel  began  study  of  the  piano  under 
a  Quaker  woman  who  saw  thai  she  had  exceptional  musical 
talent  and  encouraged  her  mother  and  father  to  keep  up  her 
lessons.  Thus,  further  strengthened  by  a  distant  relative 
ulio  was  a  gifted  musician  in  Philadelphia,  she  launched  out 
oil  licr  musical  career.  At  fifteen  years  of  age  Mrs.  O'Daniel 
ua?  chosen  bv  voung  church  people  to  organize  and  direct  the 
I  liurrh  choir.     This  was  her  incentive  to  do  choral  work. 

After  graduating  from  high  school,  she  entered  the  State  Teachers  College  at  Cheyney.  Penn- 
-\hania.  where  she  received  the  Bachelor  of  Science  degree.  She  was  greatlv  encouraged  there  by 
the  college  President  and  the  music  teacher,  and  was  verv  active  during  this  time,  appearing  as  soloist 
for  the  choir,   as  dramatic   star   and   in   many   other   activities. 

After  graduation,  she  taught  music  in  the  Washington  High  School  in  Washington,  N.  C.  It  was 
,1-  the  result  of  this  work  that  her  marriage  came  about.  She  studied  at  Chicago  Musical  College, 
and  being  encouraged  further  by  her  piano  and  voice  teacher  she  later  went  to  the  Lniversity  of 
r(Miis\  hania  where  she  received  the  Master  of  Science  Degree  in  Music  Education.  She  has  done 
additional  studv  at  Pennsylvania  University  and  State   College  even   after  this. 

<)uickl\  we  came  to  her  career  here  at  Saint  Augustine's  where  she  has  made  such  great  progress 
uilli  the  raw  material.  She  says  that  she  prefers  to  leach  music  although  she  likes  her  literature 
I  oiirses  as  well.  The  Choral  Club  here  at  Saint  Augustines  has  been  a  great  inspiration  to  her  because 
-lie  can  see  what  can  be  done  in  spite  of  the  manv  handicaps  we  ha\e.  She  finds  the  students  eager 
.irid  willing  to  work,  and  for  the  most  part,  musical  and  intelligent.  It  gratifies  her  to  no  end.  you 
'  .in  imagine,  to  see  the  rapid  progress  and  development  that  freshmen  students  make  in  the  musical 
'  la-se-  and  choral  club. 

>lie  finds  a  very  sound  and  helpful  Music  set-up  here  at  Saint  Augustine's.  Her  onlv  advice  for 
iiKantement  would  be  an  expanded  instrumental  department  A\here  students  mav  learn  to  plav  other 
in-truinents  besides  the  piano.  She  feels  that  any  teacher  of  music  needs  to  be  familiar  with  at  least 
"Hi'  in-trument  in  everv  class. 

.^o  the  afternoon  came  too  quickly  to  a  close.  I  thought  of  the  progress  that  had  been  made  in 
inu-K  since  Mrs.  O'Daniel's  arrival  here  and  I  silently  prayed  that  each  year  would  issue  in  some 
one  who  would  do  as  much  as  she  has  for  the  progress  of  Dear  Old  Saint  Augustine's.

Dr.  L.  L.  Woods 


A  CAMPUS  SCHOLAR 

Perhaps  one  of  the  most  outstanding  personalities  on  Saint 
Augustine's  campus,  taking  all  things  in  consideration,  is  Dr. 
Lloyd  L.  Woods.  I  feel  that  when  we  get  an  insight  into  the 
factors  that  have  contributed  so  much  to  the  success  of  the 
enviable  person,  we  can  well  understand  why  students  of  the 
campus  have  benefited  so  much  by  his  brilliant  presence.  His 
life,  like  most  men  of  his  peer,  really  began  in  college. 

Born  in  Tola,  Kansas,  and  educated  in  the  Wichita  public 
schools,  Lloyd  Woods  embarked  on  his  chemical  career  af 
Friends  University  in  Wichita.  After  a  brilliant  college  career 
he  was  graduated  in  1930.  In  the  fall  of  193L  he  began  his 
teaching  career  far  from  home  at  Saint  Augustine's  College, 
in  Raleigh,  N.  C.  A  year  later  he  married  Miss  Dora  Keeton 
also  of  lola,  who  was  in  her  senior  year  in  college. 

The  year  1934  was  a  year  of  dual  happiness  for  the  Woods. 
Their  only  child,  Elaine,  was  born  and  at  the  same  time.  Dr. 
Woods  received  the  Master's  degree  from  Kansas  State  College. 
Continuous  hard  work  and  study  in  the  years  that  followed 
led  to  the  earning  of  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy  in 
the  field  of  Chemistry.  This  degree  was  conferred  in  the 
summer  of  194-i  at  Kansas  State  College. 

Dr.  Woods  is  connected  with  several  national  organizations  pertaining  to  science,  namely:  The 
American  Chemical,  the  Phi  Lambda  Upsilon  Honary  Chemical  Society  and  the  Kansas  Academy  of 
Science,  also  a  social  fraternity,  Kappa  Alpha  Psi.  During  the  summer  of  1945,  he  taught  Inorganic 
Chemistry  at  the  summer  session  of  New  York  University.  Numerous  papers  on  chemistry  have  been 
written  by  Dr.  Woods  and  have  been  published  in  such  national  magazines  as  the  Journal  of  Chemi- 
cal Education. 

During  the  past  years  Dr.  Woods  has  proved  himself  to  be  not  only  a  teacher  well-versed 
in  his  subject  matter,  but  also  a  favorite  with  the  students  because  he's  a  "regular  fellow."  Chem- 
istry majors  fondly  call  him  "boss."  In  extra-curricular  activities,  both  with  the  facultv  and  the 
student  bodv.  Doctor  Woods  has  rendered  his  services  conimendably.  Before  the  war  called  the 
members  of  the  Chancellors  Club,  he  led  them  in  a  very  admirable  fashion.  Now  he  is  faculty 
adviser  to  the  ACIES  Club  and  the  Sophomore  Club.  He  is  also  co-chairman  of  the  Activities 
Council. 

Dr.  Woods  has  launched  many  men  on  successful  professional  careers  for  by  his  splendid 
method,  he  made  them  really  learn  the  things  that  were  worth  while.  The  chemistry  which  seemed 
a  burden  to  them  while  here  in  pre-medical  school  proved  to  be  a  life-saver  once  they  entered 
medical  school.  Dr.  Woods  is  justly  proud  of  his  many  students,  several  of  whom  have  graduated 
with  honor  as  physicians,  dentists,  or  technicians. 

Therefore,  with  pleasure  and  pride,  the  Pen  Staff  presents  the  "Scholar  of  the  Year,"  Dr.  Lloyd  L. 

Woods,  the  "right  guy."

ORCHIDS 

It's  only  human  for  people  to  like  to  receive  awards.  Perhaps  I  should  say  that  it's  only 
natural  for  people  to  like  to  receive  awards  for  something  which  they  may  have  done  that  was  con- 
structive. Personally,  I  like  to  see  people  rewarded  for  everything  they  do.  Of  course,  the  value 
of  the  award  should  be  determined  bv  the  constructiveness  of  the  accomplished  task  which  warranted 
their  receiving  it.  Therefore,  I  hereby  bestow  upon  the  following  persons  and  organizations  award 
of  ORCHIDS: 


Mr.  George  Mask,  Miss  Cecile  Beatty.  Mr.  Neal  Sritt.  and 
Miss  Yvonne  Brown  for  their  splendid  representation  of

IJerformance.  gave  the  students  a  recital  they  had  long 
wailed   for.

and   is   well   on   her   way   to   becoming   a   well-integrated 
personality. 

Mrs.    0"Daniel    for    her   excellent    Choral    Club.

DRIFTWOOD 


History  is  a  deadly  subject. 

As  deadly  as  can  be; 

It  killed  r.  D.  R. 

And  now  it's  killing  me. 

"Roses  I  sent  to  match  your  cheeks." 
So  wrote  a  lovelorn  fellow: 
At  last  the  florist  sealed  his  fate. 
The  roses  he  sent  were  yellow. 

What'cha  doin?  fishin? 
Naw,  I'm  drawin  worms. 

Little  poodle  asleep  on  a  log; 
Forest  fire  .  .  .  hot  dog! 

He:   Please,   May   I? 

She :  No. 

He  :  Just  this  once':* 

She:   Certainly  not! 

He  :  Oh,  gosh  ma,  all  the  kids  are  goin'  barefoot, 

A  jitterbug  went  out  to  swim, 


Alas!  too  late  he  found 
The  current  grim — too  much  for  him, 
'Hep!  Hep!  he  cried  and  drowned. 

This  here  poem  'orter 
Be  two  lines  shorter. 

Pity  costs  nothin'  and  ain't  wuff  nothin'! 

Here  lies  my  wife;  tears  can't  bring  her  back: 
Therefore.  I  weep. 

Nature  never  makes  a  mistake.     If  she  makes  a  fool 
she  means  it. 

He  who  fights  and  runs  away 
Will  live  to  fight  another  day. 

There  was  a  litle  boy  from  York 

He  learned  how  to  eat  with  a  fork 

He  came  to  Saint  Aug 

Where  one  eats  like  a  hog 

And  now  he  don't  eat  with  no  fork  a-tall!

A  KILOWATT  HOUR? 


That's  Easy! 


r 


A  kilowatt  hour  is  really  not  difficult 
to  understand  Electricity  is  measured  in 
units  of  pressure  (volts)  and  in  units  of 
current  flow  (amperesK  Multiply  these 
two  together  and  you  have  a  unit  of 
power,  the  watt.  The  watt  is  a  relatively 
small  unit  and  it  is  customary  to  use 
1,000  watts,  or  0  kilowatt  as  a  practical 
base  of  measurement  of  electricity.  A 
KILOWATT  HOUR  represents  the  use 
of  one  kilowatt  (1,000  watts)  for  one 
hour.  It  represents  energy  equivalent  to 
one  and  one  third  horsepower.  It  is  the 
unit  of  measurement  used  in  your  electric 
bill,  and  the  residential  customers  of  the 
Carolina  Power  &  Light  Company  pay 
an  average  of  two  and  seven-tenths 
cents  for  each  kilowatt  hour  of  elec- 
tricity used
