ALMA MATER

"WE HAIL THEE S. S. C."

Let us give thanks and praise to Thee,
To our Alma Mater, S. S. C.
Thine honor, pride, and eminence,
We raise in prayerful reverence.

REFRAIN
Where Savannah meets the sea,
Where grassy plains and palms abound,
Where the flow'rs are gems of loveliness,
There S. S. C. is found.
We adore each beauteous scene and hall,
Our all we pledge to Thee !
In our hearts we'll build a shrine for thee,
We hail Thee S. S. C. !
II
Guide us still from day to day,
Be thou mindful lest we lose our way;
Help us know that life, short or long,
Means unceasinsr work for weak and strong.

DEDICATION

Savannah State College has gained much from the seventy-four years
of service given by Messrs, J. B. Wright, Assistant Professor of Biology,
who gave twelve years of service; Philander S. Moore who served for
fifty-one years and Richard Bennett who was employed for eleven years.
They gave much of their lives and energy to furthering the philosophy
to which the college is dedicated — improving our democratic society
through serving the needs of man. Thus it is through the veins of such
men that the life blood of the college flows and contributes toward its
growth and success.

Therefore, we humbly and gratefully dedicate the 1960 edition of the
Tiger to Messrs.Wright, Moore and Bennett.

FOREWORD

It is a privilege to be a part of Savannah State College at any time, but it is an
unusual privilege to be a part of it during its transitional period. This Tiger with
its many pictures of persons and events, will be for years to come a stimulus and a
source of pleasure.

Savannah State College continues to move ahead. It does so in keeping with the
finest elements of its years of tradition and service, and with a determination to
increase its value to the thousands of young men and women who come to its
campus. Time spent at Savannah State College means much more than acquisi-
tions of many facts and the learning of new techniques. As the days are relived
through the pages of this Annual it is hoped that not places, people and activities
alone will be remembered, but that there be a constant renewal of the Savannah
State idealism.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

The College Yearbook is an interesting publication. It means a
different thing to everyone associated with the college or univer-
sity. To the members of the editorial staff and advisers, the year-
book brings memories of problems, difficulties, successes, failures,
and long hours used in the development of the book. Experiences
have been rich and challenging. To the members of the student
body and faculty, the yearbook brings together a selected collec-
tion from life and learning on the college campus. It affords an
opportunity for each individual to relive many phases of college
life in a reflective mood. It is stimulating and enjoyable to be a
part of a college that is alive and growing. Quality of leadership,
cooperative achievement, and learning are indicative of the vigor
and strength found in the college. It is my hope that all who may
have opportunities to peruse this book will discover evidences of

growth.

DR. PAYNE AND FIRST LADY— MATTIE BEVERLY PAYNE

$

An educational institution is considered great when it is bound
by a union of revered tradition and youthful initiative. This union
manifests itself in many forms: in the knowledge imparted by the
venerable gray-haired professor to the vulnerable crew-cut colle-
gian; in the legends associated with former students, and in the
tales of current collegiate caprices and heroics; and even in the
campus landscape where the shadow of a bold modern building
is cast upon a proud structure. By this union a heritage is created,
a heritage that provides reminiscent consolation for the old, and
unshakeable hope for the young. Such is the heritage of Savannah
State.

THE END

EDITOR'S NOTE

It's all over now, the anxieties, the fears, the frustration; that
feeling — they have all disappeared into the timeless void of the
past. And with what have they been replaced? The hundreds of
layouts, the hundreds of pictures, the bushel of copy, have all been
transformed into what is known as the 1960 TIGER.

It is my privilege to express gratitude to those who assisted with
the '60 Tiger.

Indeed, we are indebted to the Adviser, Mr. A. L. Brentson, for
his complete cooperation in helping us to meet those almost im-
possible deadlines. His long hours of toil and labor will always be
remembered by the staff when we view our annual.

Heartfelt thanks must go to the students, faculty, and advertisers
for all their participation. Last but not least, I will be forever grate-
ful to the entire 1960 Tiger's Staff.

May this annual be long remembered for years to come.

Tommie L. Mitchell
