%Et10#* 1989 FROM SAVANNAH, GEORGIA SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE IN THE NINETY-EIGHTH YEAR OF EXISTENCE presents the 1989 TIGER Renee Rolling, Editor Opening 1 . -; . TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION h w m EVENTS STUDENT LIFE PEOPLE ORGANIZATIONS ATHLETICS * : Opening PROLOGUE In the Eye of a Tiger linger flashes of the past year. How you see yourself as a tiger is up to you. Perhaps, after turning the pages of this book, you will know. The look is of you, the administration, the faculty, staff, and most of all, the students. This year's TIGER staff presents a broad overview of what's happening around the College by the Sea in the unlimited phases of collegiate life. The staff has captured the glances of the rewarding and significant events that took place on campus. Located in one of the most scenic cities of the South, Savannah State College, in its 98th year of pride, progress and excellence, has provided many students with the opportunity to take a new prospect of life with choice and fulfillment. Where there are people, there are events that need to be recorded. This is what the staff of the 1988 TIGER has put forth every effort to do. The TIGER is a reminder of the enthusiasm, the feeling of nurture and growth, and the wealth of excitement that encompass a college campus. This year's TIGER, in our own eyes, is a reflection of the character, scholarship, activities, and leadership demonstrated by the students at the College. Each student is a part of this history of facts and pictures. As you turn the pages and see yourself in the eye of a ti- ger, remember that the past is a prologue of the future.

Wilson, Project Director for the Mentors Program, states, "The basis of the program is to help retain students with high attrition variables, such as students who are single parents, students in two or more re- medial courses, athletes or students remedi- ating for the Regents." The Mentors Pro- gram sponsors two presentations each quar- ter. One presentation is held off campus to encourage cultural exposure for the stu- dent. The aim is for the student and the mentor to connect and bond, thus providing the student with a support system. Upward Bound Upward Bound stresses the value of education and self-respect by motivating high school stu- dents to aspire for success in academics and in LIFE.

Student Life 29 "YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL A SAVANNAH STATE STUDENT" Learning Knowledge Hailing from places such as Atlanta, Georgia, Miami, Florida, Chicago, Illinois, Brooklyn, New York, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, and Bahamas, each student at SSC has a unique characteristic. With the continuous expansion of our resources, this Institution thrives on academic excellence. Every student who has taken College Algebra knows that it is no piece of cake. Also, every student knows he will sit in front a computer during his college education. Because the students are eager to learn all there is to know, sometimes the library is unsurprisingly full. 30 Student Life Showing Off Fashions It's understood that fashion is very important to students here. The females wear long skirts and soft sweaters, while the males prefer baggy to cropped pants with colorful printed shirts. Both sexes wear turtle necks, acid-wash jeans, and the biker shorts. Student Life 31 Whether good or bad, the College has a reputation for its food services. At breakfast, lunch, or dinner, everyone enjoys a nutrious meal. Good times are shared in the dining hall, but sometimes students have a craving for foods served at the Blue Note, Campus Corner, Subway, Burger King, or even Ryan's Steakhouse. To make sure they don't get too fat, there's always aerobics to keep everyone in shape. 32 Student Life Having Fun After a week of doing calculus homework or cramming for that history test, students are usually ready for the weekend. Things get started on Thursday night at Club 220 West. Then on Friday and Saturday nights, the Old Gym is the party place. Music can be heard for blocks as Randy T. mixes the latest dance music. Every weekend, the crowd gets more pumped. After the parties, the guys try their best to sweep the ladies off their feet and to hypnotize them to forfeit the games people play. Students also engage in frequent games of "Spades". rim If anybody reading this knows a person that possesses some of these characteristics, the reader should have that person write to this address: SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE STUDENT LIFE ADMISSIONS OFFICE 100 IGNORANT BENCH SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE BRANCH SAVANNAH, GA 31404 Student Life 33 ' \ - THE -I * 1 <* I PEOPLE Wiley Bolden Acting President . . z J.

Maker 1940-1988 Dr. Maher was born on December 23, 1 940 in Chicago, Illinois. He obtained his Bachelor's Degree from Loras Col- lege in Deblek, Iowa, and his Master's Degree and Doctorate Degree in English from the University of Georgia. He be- gan teaching at the University of Geor- gia, but later went on to teach high school in Augusta, Georgia. He taught at Savannah State College for 1 7 years. Dear Dr. Maher, (My Mentor) I never thought my days would be so unfulfilled with the disturbance of your death. Therefore, I often times find it arduous to come to terms with the realization of your absence here at our "College by the Sea. "After the wringing news of your passing, I astonished myself with my own reactions acknowledging just how much of an integral role you have played in my life. Disregarding the tears that blurred my vision, I spotted be- yond the objects, and I hurled and scattered crazily out of distress, my several boxes of poems, essays, and short stories. There they were, piles of papers you graded and critiqued, that I embraced. At the time I panicked that they were all I had left of you. "Strong thesis," "firm analysis," "well done, " "rushed conclusion, " "correct minor grammar errors, " "vivid images in your poetry, " "keep editing" penetrated my memories of you as I read. Remember the very first time I invaded your office and I said, "Teach me? " Of course, you recall that moment, because you, with no reservations, said, "Sure, as long as you want to learn." Initially, I quirked, "Oh, this guy must be some Marva Collins of the teaching industry who has no life outside of chasing and grading homework assignments." After one "D", an office visit, and an "A" later, I saw sincerity in your eyes and promise in your heart. I knew my goal was to learn. Never before had I wanted to absorb so much from anyone. And I thank you. So now that you've given me so much, you just desert me? Don't you know, I wasn't finished? I had questions to last a lifetime. Just think of all the office time you spent helping me to develop an "A " essay in 40 minutes, critiquing my poem, and molding the building blocks to boost my con- fidence as a promising writer with exceptional talents. H hile this may be true, you never denied me the truth of what it takes editing, more editing and possibly hundreds of rejections. So how could you leave me? So untimely? Perchance, knowing you as I did, goodbyes are just too per- manent. Now that you're gone, I frequently find myself lost. On several occasions, I've started a trip to your office with one of my latest writing ventures with hopes that I'd find you there at the typewriter with a cup of coffee nearby. The first few times I cried. After several trips, I accepted your being gone (physically), but you are so very alive (spiritually) as Shakespeare spoke from a poster; subjects and verbs chattered with agreement from the shelves, and maps took me to all the places we've traveled together during lectures. Yes, you never really died. So I will always be surrounded by your life be it the red and green comments on my English papers or the voices of your former students who have learned so much. To my heart, your absence brought nothing but remorse; now I thank God I was blessed enough to know you, to miss, and to celebrate your new life in me and those whose lives you've touched and are still touching. Yours truly, Zain Jacobs Memoriam 103 IN REMEMBRANCE OF Miss Tonya Warnette Jenkins 1967-1988 Miss Jenkins was born on July 31, 1967, in Savannah, Geor- gia. She was a Senior attending Savannah State College, ma- joring in Business Manage- ment/Finance. She was the Ba- s ileus of Alpha Iota Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority. "GIVE YOU UP" We didn't want to give you up; We'll miss that smile on your face. But comforted are we by this thought. In Heaven you will take your place. \Y e didn 't want to give you up; Your passing though doth make us sad. But still we're consoled with this thought. In Heaven you will be glad. We didn't want to give you up; Yet we know you've gone to rest. So comforted are we by this thought; To be in Heaven is the best. 104 Memoriam POWELL LABORATORY PRESCHOOL C L A S S O F ...

Delta Eta Chapter, founded on April 24, 1945, is cele- brating its 40th anniversary at Savannah State College. The Chapter has made a strong commitment to making a positive contribution to the community by having tutorial workshops, participating in the Boys Scouts of America, heading a youth group for young men in high school, and visiting and caring for elderly in the community.

Being a part of the Orange Crush is an honor that only few can claim. Putting on the half time show may look easy, but members must work hard to be a part of the Marching Tigers.

Staff members could usually be found doing the seemingly endless tasks necessary to complete the book. Long nights and weekends were spent in the room meeting deadlines as the most serious socializers became workaholics.

SPORTS TIGER FOOTBALL Vol. XLI Fall 1988 TIGER TRACKS As SSC students savored their last few weeks of summer vacation, the football team was busy getting ready for another season. Despite losing several key players, the team had hopes of another winning season. The opening contest with Fayetteville State University was close, but SSC prevailed with a 9-6 victory. During the first away game, the Tigers broke an eight-game losing jinx against Tuskegee University, with a come from behind 31-21 victory. Tuskegee was the preseason favorite to win the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championship. SSC's Tigers could not find a victory during its next 3 games. They suffered loses to Alabama A & M University (10-14), Wofford College (23-24), and Morris Brown College (7-18). After making some changes in both the offensive and defensive lineups, the Tigers' hard work began to pay off. Coach Davis and his staff led SSC to victory with a 30-6 annihilation of Johnson C. Smith University. Next, Savannah State spoiled Clark College's Homecoming festivities by whipping the Panthers 58-14. Highlighting SSC's 98th Anniversary Celebration, the Tigers exploded past Morehouse College, 70-13. It was the most points scored by a Tiger football team since 1980, when SSC defeated Fisk, 77-0. The win over Morehouse was the 3rd in a row, which improved SSC's record to 5-3. After taking a week off, the Ti- gers came back to maul the Wildcats of Ft. Valley State College 41-14. SSC had a commanding 33-0 halftime lead. In its final outing, with nothing to lose and everything to gain, the Tigers defeated Albany State College 28-22, and knocked the Golden Rams out of a possible post-season playoff birth for the 2nd time in the 3rd quarter. It was the 5th win in a row for SSC, and end- ed the season 8-2, thanks to a forfeit by Morris Brown earlier in the season. The 8-2 record was the best in the school's history. Most of the players will return next year, and they are hoping for bigger and better things: Bryant Swinson was one of the leading blockers for the Tigers, which allowed Richard Basil to complete 55.7% of his passes for 1 ,497 yards and 15 touchdowns. Most of the catches were made by All America Shannon Sharpe, who hauled in 57 receptions for 1 ,03 1 yards and 1 2 touchdowns. Edwin Ford led the ground attack by grinding out 383 yards and 2 TD's. Defensively, Damon Johnson had 109 tackles and 9 QB sacks, but Darryl McCormick and Norman McGeathy were right behind him with 98 89 tackles respectively. Eric Brown had 7 interceptions and broke up another 24 pass attempts to lead the team in both categories. Several of the Tigers were honored for their outstanding performances during the season by the SIAC. They were: wide receiver Shannon Sharpe (SIAC MVP), quarterback Richard Basil (Best Offense), punt returner Willie Deloach (Punt Returns), cornerback Eric Brown, defensive tackle Damon Johnson and offensive guard Bryant Swinson. Coach Bill Davis was named SIAC Coach of the Year for the 2nd time in 3 years. Some National Football League scouts consider Eric Brown to be a possible pro prospect in this year's upcoming football draft.

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven; a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down; and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to keep silent, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.

Thus when in a year collapse particular memories, you any deduce, from the long pain I bore the opinions I held, who was my foe and what I left, even my appearance, but incidents, will be no guide. Time's wrong-way telescope will show a minute man ten years hence and by distance simplified. Through the lens see if I seem Substance or nothing: of the world deserving mention of charitable oblivion, not by momentary spleen or love into decision hurled, leisurely arrive at any opinion. Remember me when I am dead and simplify me when I'm dead. no more. Keith Douglas Memoriam 153 THANKS FOR BEING THERE WHEN I NEEDED YOU! Love, Durante Footman Class of 89!

RANDOLPH FISHEE HILLARY HATCHETT Alma Mater 159 Dear Savannah State College Family, It has been a great honor and privilege for me to be Editor-in-Chief of the 1988-89 SSC "TIGER" yearbook. It is my sincere hope that this book has captured at least one special moment and/or memory that you hold dear. With the help of some dedicated and enthusiastic individuals, we, the TIGER staff, feel we have produced the single best edition of the TIGER yet. This year we tried to use every creative method that was available to us. Our goal was to use techniques that would breathe life into each and every page. During the year. I used to think, "What have I gotten myself into?" There were days when I felt like walking away from it all when it seemed as if nothing would go right, but that 's when I would turn to God and ask him to give me strength. I sacrificed a lot of my time to produce this book, and if I had to do it again, I would. To those of you who see something in "THE EYE OF THE TIGER" that you do not like, tell me. If there is something that you do like, tell others. Fellow Tigers, I challenge you to join the 1989-90 yearbook staff and make the next edition even better than ever in the upcoming celebration of our alma mater. Mav you carry this book and the memories it harbors in remembrance of your college experience.
