PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Greetings to Alumni and Friends On Homecoming Day The Savannah State College family joins me in extending a sincere and hearty welcome to you, the alumni and friends, who have come to observe the 1964 Homecoming activities with us. We greet you with the wish that this day will be one long remem- bered in the years to come as you renew old acquain- tances, meet new friends, and reawaken some of the pleasant memories of your days at SSC. We look forward each year with pleasant expectancy to this day on which we, too, greet old friends and make new ones. In your homecoming, we hope you see the prog- ress the College is making toward providing a better educational program for the young people of today and the world leaders of tomorrow. We are in the midst of a building program which will, not only enhance the beauty of the campus, but insure the continued development of the institution toward its highest potential. We are happy to welcome our friends and visitors from Morris College; and as the two teams compete on the gridiron in friendly athletic rivalry, we know we shall see a display of the finest quality of colle- giate sportsmanship. Again, we extend to you every good wish for an enjoyable celebration on this occasion of Home- coming. HOWARD JORDAN, JR. President GREETINGS FROM MORRIS COLLEGE Morris College joins me in extending our greetings to you on the happy occasion of your Annual Homecoming. Our presence here today affords a personal opportunity to commend you for the challenges which you have met and conquered in expanding your educational efforts.
