A Message From The President

Greetings: This years Livingstonian depicts the "Spirit of Opportunity and Success at Livingstone College and Hood Theological Seminary.

Through a pictorial college of history, memories " 'tradition . this yearbook chronicles a significant period in the growth and development of the college and seminary.

I salute the efforts of the yearbook staff to portray a tusion of hearts, hands and minds in a meaningful rust toward academic excellence and community service.

.^"".ehallenge and commitment is to provide an ucational environment which empowers our stu- ents to become critical thinkers and high achievers.

.^This publication reflects the best of the "Liv- gstone Spirit" where our future is just as bright as Illustrious past.

I first saw Livingstone through the eyes of my father. He spoke of this great institution not in terms of brick and mortar, but as a gathering of black minds eager and thirsty for knowledge. I saw through his eyes a body of black people organized to teach, to learn and to use God given abilities and talents to reach out and share. I saw through my father's eyes a place of caring, concerned people, a family dedicated to ensure that those truly seeking a quality education would receive one at Livingstone. Then I came to Livingstone and through my own eyes, I saw the beautiful maples and the great oak trees planted by man, but standing tall and majestic by the will of the ALL MIGHTY GOD. I heard the zephyr breezes blowing softly as Angels whispered in GODS ear. I found Livingstone to be a place dedicated to building strong minds and willful spirits. A place where people dare to leave the shores and venture out into the unchartered waters seeking knowledge to help themselves and others. My Dad was right, Livingstone is not about brick and mortar. Livingstone is about quality education, dedicated teachers, eager minds and a quiet place to commune with God. You have bestowed upon me a great honor by selecting me as Miss Livingstone College and for that I am indeed grateful. I will wear the crown proudly and represent this great institution with dignity and with pride. May God bless each of you.

A NEW BEGINNING

To every winding path, there is a straight and narrow way. To every dark cloud, there is a silver lining.

To every rainfall, there is a rainbow with a pot of gold.

To every frown, there is a smile.

To every broken heart, there is a promise of joy.

To every tear you cry, there is someone who can wipe them away. To every hateful deed, there is love somewhere. To every lonely night, there is a brand new morning. To every unhappy ending, there is a new beginning.

"MARCHING THROUGH ZION"

We, the Freshman Class of the 1989-1990 school year, entered Liv- ingstone College as rookie cadets. After having finished our basic training our survival kits only contained the bare necessities. We enrolled into the final phase of training. Our thirst for knowledge was quench- ed with the hope for success, anxiety from fear of the unknown and the opportunity to work hard in order to better ourselves. We craved to make our par- ents proud and yearned to fulfill our desires to strive for academic excellence. In pursuit of this four year degree, we knew that with the values we learned here at Livingstone, that those values Would be the keys to our success. There- fore I challenge my classmates to equip oneselve for the work that is before us.

79 IN MEMORIAL LIFE

Life is a wonderful thing, and sweet ... if we let it swirls around our feet . . . and know that we are a living part ... of all the world's pulsating heart.

To life's meaning firm clear . . . make and there are rules to follow here . . . simple rules, as most

rules go . . . given two thousand years ago:

Deny no man what he wants to believe . . . respect his thoughts, and don't deceive . . . take him by the hand and lead . . . and help him in his hour of need ... for all are equal in fear and pain ... we all shall die — and rise again . . . and no man is greater than another ... in the eyes of God — each is our brother.

Mr. Johnny Lamar Fogner, June 27, 1955 — February 25, 1990 Director of Livingstone College Data Processing Department

Leaves to mourn his passing are his wife, Lynne Fogner, son Jacob, daughter Heather Fogner, father Robert Fogner, Sr. and brother Rev. Bob Fogner. TRIBUTE

DR. JACKSON A. BROWNE "To love abundantly is to live abundantly, and to love forever is to live forever."

As memory scans the past, above and beyond all the transitory pleasures of life, Dr. Jackson A. Browne shared unnoticed kindness to those around him. The test of religion for him was love. He was one of Zion's shining examples of Christian brotherhood and a model for God's ministry. He was earnest in winning souls for Christ. God used him to his glory. Through his works and gifts he was a distinguished pastor and builder of ten churches. He gave loyal service to Hood Theological Seminary and was a teacher and mentor for many students at Livingstone College. The influence he had on those he touched was evident as he radiated a Christian spirit that is rare and special. He was the epitome of grace, charm and dignity, never calculating the value of his ac- tions. He was committed to the cause of ecumenism and the quest for Christian unity as it was manifest through the churches he served. He had a devotion to Christian education and had insight and concern for the nurture of children and youth. We pay tribute to Dr. Browne by continuing to promote and strengthen Christian values and encourage academic excellence in our church, our home and our nation. He is survived by his loving wife Bettye Browne, four step-sons, David, Warren, Gregory, and Wayne Stewart, and a devoted sister, Ms. Lois Browne

Mr. Charles Anthony Seemion was taken by the Angel of Silence on Thursday morning August 31, 1989. He was the son of Rev. J. Harry Seemion and Mrs. Dorothy Seemion. Born on May 17, 1960 in Kinder, Louisiana. He graduated from Kinder High School and for two and one-half years attended Louisiana State University. For the past several months, Mr Seemion and his family made their home at 315 Ashjbrook Road, Salisbury, North Carolina where he was employed by TWM Service, Inc. as Director of Food Services at Livingstone College. He leaves to mourn his wife, Mrs. Lydia Parker Seemion, one son, Charles Anthony Seemion, Jr.; one sister, Mrs. Patricia Cooper of Kinder, LA; four brothers: Mr. Ralph Seemion of Daleville, AL, Mr. Roger Seemion of Houston, TX, Mr Martin Seem- ion and Mr. Julian Seemion both of Kinder, LA; his grandmother, Mrs. Matilde Seemion, his grand- father, Mr. Dallas Seemion both of Kinder, LA; his mother-in-law, Mrs. Ella Parker of Winston-Salem, NC; eight sisters-in-law; two brothers-in-law; his Godfather, Mr. James Henry, his Godmother, Mrs. Mary C. Artis both of Kinder, LA; a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

TO THE STUDENTS AND MEMBER OF THE LIV- INGSTONE COLLEGE AND HOOD THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY FAMILY

Hood Theological Seminary offers the next phase of higher education for those undergraduate students of Liv- ingstone College who wish to follow a career of leadership in the Christian Church. We invite any Christian student who loves the church to come to discuss with us how you might best serve the Lord and your church in your future life.

May God bless and keep you in all of your future endeavors.

Dr. W. F. Lawrence, Jr. Dean Hood Theological Seminary

Greetings in the Name of Jesus who is also called the Christ . .

We have come to another plateau in the history as we enter the

decade of the 90's. A decade that is looking for leaders to spiritually guide the minds of our children.

Therefore, I say to you go to the upperroom (HOOD) and tarry there until you are endowed with the power of the Holy Ghost (GOOD SOUND DOCTRINE AND THEOLOGICAL

TEACHINGS). After you leave this upperroom it is my hope that you like myself will have an enthusiastic zeal to minister. To those citadels of light, and heralds of truth that tarry as you weather in the corridor of Hood, I encourage you to "live what you preach and preach what you live". May God ever bless and keep Hood Theological Seminary that she continue to produce the

stewards of fellowship, friendship and faith that I have come to know and love as comrades.

Rev. Keith Harris, President Hood Theological Seminary Student Union — 1989-90

There is a time in life when clouds soar darkly over our heads. There is a time in life when leaves no longer sway, and flowers appear dry, and dead. There is a time in life when we are faced with trouble and strife, but like a "stone", we have "stood the test of time". We have endured the rain of the dark clouds. The rain has made us stronger, and wiser— it has cleansed us. We are that "living stone" that has been drenched by terrible storms. We are that "living stone" that has seem many leaves bud and many flowers bloom. Just as there is a time in life for clouds to come, there is also a time for "rebirth"; a new administration, a new president . . . ! We are off to a "new beginning" with Dr. Bernard Franklin; new chapter to be written in our book; a rejuvenation in our souls. We have been given a new zeal, an effervescent flow of energy. We are off to a fresh start!! —A "New Beginning"!!! —Sarah M. Kinard i STUDENT LIFE AT THE STONE

103 At Livingstone College students race back to the dormitories to relax or head towards Old Trent Gym in order to shoot basketball, play ping-pong, or chill-out. Our time here under the "Maples and the Oaks" are not only filled by going to classes, but also by our jobs, friends, romance, and above all our homework. Student's lives here at L.C. are unique, yet .united. Students have their own background, culture and personalities based on what they have learned at home. Despite the unique personalities students have united together to form strong friendship ties. This year marks a "New Beginning" for all of us. With our new President, Dr. Bernard Franklin, the new TWA Food Service, and some other new changes which have been made this academic year (1989-90), has helped to make the students lives here at Livingstone College better.

LIVINGSTONE ROTC Livingstone College Concert Choir

The Livingstone College Con- cert Choir is a great asset to the Livingstone College Family, The ''^M.E. Zion Church, and the Salisbury Community. The Choir has traveled across '^he miles touching hearts with "messages in song through Negro Spirituals, Anthems, and Major Choral Compositions. Livingstone College Prayer Meeting

History of the Livingstone College Prayer Meeting Choir

The Prayer Meeting Choir is the first choir of its type organized on any college campus. Since that time, Gospel Choirs have sprung up on black and white college campuses. In an era when gospel choirs are becoming more popular on many college campuses, the Prayer Meeter Choir of Livingston College has already made an impression on this area of music. However, the Prayer Meeting Choir has versatility in its music. They sing a variety of music—spirituals, hymns, anthems, etc. Thirty years ago, a group of students interested in enriching and stimulating the religious life of Livingstone College campus, as well as providing music for Wednesday night prayer service, organized the Maize Singers. That same year the name was changed to the Prayer Meeting Choir The Rev George Maize, HI than a student at Livingstone, is founder of the choir. He is presently pastor of Metropolitan A.M.E. Zion Church in Jersey City, New Jersey. Rev Mrs. Willie L. Aldrich has been advisor to the choir since its inception in 1960 and co-founder of the Prayer Meeting Choir Rev Maize loved to sing. The Choir was made up of Christian young men and women who also loved to sing and who dedicated their lives to Christian living. Yes, they got a joy out of singing. Rev Maize was their first Director In 1961 The Maize Singers became the Prayer Meeting Choir Under the advisorship of Rev Aldrich and the inspiration of Rev Maize, the choir grew in popularity and size. Requests from the services of this choir poured in from churches in the vicinity of the college. Many of the requests had to be turned down due to overcrowded schedules and the college studies of the students. The popularity of the choir is still spreading throughout North Carolina and the United States. Since its inception the choir has had thirteen directors and fifteen presidents. Rev. Maize, Miss Delores Pouncey, Mr. Gary Meekings, Mr Curtis Crockett, Rev. Ronald Williams, Rev Joseph Siler, Mr Daryl Waters, Rev. Jimmy Thomas, Mr. Shipps L. Washington, Mr Reginald McGowen, Mr Kelvin Perkins, Rev George Maize IV, and presently Mr Gary Stanley. The following persons have served as President: Miss Irene Fouse, Mrs. Carolyn M. Pratt, Rev Leamon Brown, Mr Hubert Grier, Mr. Michael Grier, Mr Rufus Keenan, Rev George McKain II, Rev. Michael McLean, Miss Jacquelyn Mattocks, Mr. Eddie Huggins, Miss Sophia Carter, Mr Marcus Chavis, Miss Shelia McLauglin, Miss Delina Davis, Miss Sonya Baines, and presently Miss Sharon Morrow. Rev. Mrs. Willie L. Aldrich Hood Seminary Librarian, has been advisor to the Prayer Meeting Choir for thirty years. During a brief period in 1967, because of the illness of Rev. Mrs. Aldrich, Mrs. Madge Reynolds, presently residing in Greensboro, N.C. served as co-advisor for two months. The Choir has had a total of three co-advisors. Others were Mrs. Beatrice Jackson, Mr. Henry Jackson, and Rev. Keith Harris. 141 Student Government Association

As we near the twenty-first Century, we will be faced with a number of dilemmas and challenges that will affect our race and institution. Livingstone College has weathered one storm after another for the past 1 10 years. As we embark upon a new era with a new President who is leading us in a new direction, I echo the sentiments of the yearbook staff who selected the theme "A New Begin- ning." As Student Government President I've had the pleasure of being a part of this beginning filled with joy and pain. The joy of finally seeing visions become reality and the pain of knowing we still have a long way to go.

To the student body I say "Wake up!" We are under "New Management" and in order to progress we must work together. Ask yourselves, where do we go from her? and how can I make a difference?

147 Livingstone College made history with its first football game. Livingstone is recognized as the birthplace of inter-collegiate football among Negro colleges in the United States. The Bears faced Biddle University (now Johnson C. Smith) of Charlotte on a snow-covered field on the Livingstone College campus on December 27, 1892. The Bears lost the game, 5-0, but the rivalry with Johnson C. Smith still continues. This year we didn't win many, but we did beat our rival who robbed us of our first win in 1892.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday Celebration January 15, 1929- April 4, 1968

There must be a coming together of my people, not just a holding of hands but a using of hands to build strong institution. There must be a loving together of my people, not just a physical love where we share our bodies, but a spiritual love where we lay bare our souls. There must be a real trusting of one another between my people so that we will respect each other as sister and brother. There must be a caring for each other by my people, where we will be on hand when

needed, and share when there is little in the

till. There must be a rebuilding of the family among my people.

Where the home is the first school for the

lessons of life. Where Ma is the Queen and Pa is the King. And sisters and brothers look out for each other.

Yes, there must be an awareness of the past for my people. Learning all about Africa our native land. So we'll know who we are and insure our own destiny.

. . . For when there is that coming together, and

that building together . . . For when there is that coming together, and that building

together . . . and the loving each other, trusting and caring, then we can truly celebrate the FREEDOM OF OUR PEOPLE —Annetta Elam Capedeville

168 169 170 The First observance of Founder's Day was celebrated Febru- ary 10, 1894, one year after the death of Dr. Joseph Charles Price. Since that time the Thursday nearest his birthday has become a college wide holiday on which we memorialize the person or persons responsible for the existence of the College and perpetuate the memory of the founder and first president. Dr. Joseph Charles Price. The celebration has traditionally involved speakers represent- ing the students and the faculty, a placing of a wreath at the mausoleum and a formal convocation. The theme of these

activities is the Pricean legacy. The day commemorates the fact that the insight of Price presented Livingstone College a rich heritage. During the 10 years which Dr. Price served as president, a grammar school which served as a preparatory school for the normal school was built and a classical course and a theological course fro those interested in the ministry were added. Huntington Hall was enlarged; Dodge Hall was completed and Ballard Hall was constructed. Dr. Goler became president of Livingstone College in 1893 and served for 27 years. Under his guidance curricular additions Were made; the chapel, Carnegie Library and Goler Hall for Women were erected and Ballard Hall and Hood Theological Seminary were expanded.

No great structure is raised alone or with ease. Foresight and energy characterized Dr. Daniel Cato Suggs, the young man who served as a teacher during Dr. Goler's administration and later became president. The Price Mausoleum and the stone gates Were constructed; Ballard Hall was enlarged and the Chapel was brick veneered. Academic development and physical growth have always been of importance to the College. Dr. William Johnson Trent served as college president from 1925-1958 and it was during this administration that the College was granted an "A" rating by the North Carolina Department of Education and by the Southern Association of Colleges and Universities. A central heating plant Was installed; the J.C. Price Building was dedicated; the W.J. Trent Gymnasium and Harris Hall, the first dormitory for men since 1886, were constructed; and the Library was enlarged twice. Dr. Trent and the next two presidents were graduates of Livingstone College. E)r. Samuel E. Duncan, who served as president for 10 years, promoted growth in the staff and student enrollment. The building program produced the Mary Reynolds Babcock Hall, the Aggrey Student Union, the James E. Varick Auditorium Music Building, the Alumni Athletic Stadium, the S.E. Duncan Science Building, the Harriet Tubman Social-Science Commu- nications Building, the Walls Museum Heritage House, the Gym Annex, the WJ. Walls Center and the Library addition. While building appeared to be in the foreground, there was, however, a balance in curriculum development. began to move forward during Educational innovations the 1 3 year administration of Dr. F. George Shipman. The degree program was expanded, the varsity sports program and the musical performance groups were enlarged. Tucker Hall, Dancy Hall, and the Robinson Health Center were dedicated. of the seventh Under the administration president. Dr. William H. Greene, the college experienced expansion and beautification. interim Dr. Ozell K. Beatty was appointed president in December 1987. In May 1988, Dr. Beatty his leadership Was appointed president. Under the quest for excellence continued the heritage fostered by Price. He contributed significantly to the stabilization of the college during a period of transition. Moreover, he helped to improve relations with the external community. Bernard W. Franklin On July 1, 1989, Dr. was appointed as the ninth president of the college.

171 I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Advisor, Mr. Glenn Grayson for the personal sacrifices he made in order to benefit the yearbook staff. Also, we appreciate Mrs. Marsha Grayson, Garrett and Shinora for sharing Mr. Grayson with the yearbook staff. Many thanks to Miss Cynthia Sloan, Miss Mia Patterson, Miss Debbie Webb, Mr. Nathaniel Johnson and other students and staff who contributed time and energy to the LIVINGSTONIAN. I especially commend Mr. Ernest Cooley, Jr. and Mr. Augustus Jones for their photographic talents and being there whenever I called on them. Finally, Thank youl Mrs. Noralyn Hedrick for your unend- ing patience and encouragement.

To the student body I pass to you the baton of challenge to strive toward making the future "LC" the best it can be. To the class of 1990 you are stepping into your

"New Beginning" and I wish you success in all your future endeavors.
