OFFICE OF
THE PRESIDENT

This 1967-68 edition of the TIGER one of the best in the glorious history
of Savannah State College, is a real credit to the dedication, diligence, and
competence of the Editorial Staff and Advisors. We take this opportunity to
salute them for a task performed in an excellent manner.

Savannah State College had much to be proud of in 1967-68. Substantial
progress was made in many areas of endeavor. Hardly a week passed without
signaling some new achievement or some new accomplishment by members of the
faculty, staff, and student body. We can truly say that Savannah State College
has indelibly stamped its name on the roll of great Institutions of higher education,

More important, however, is the wonderful spirit of enthusiasm manifested
by our wonderful student body, faculty, staff, and alumni. This spirit of enthusi-
asm and determination will certainly carry us to higher educational heights.

We congratulate the Class of 1968 and we wish them God's finest blessings
as they leave us to go to their various endeavors.

Gordon Library

THE INTELLECTUAL CENTER

OF THE CAMPUS

Gordon Library is one of the most prized posses-
sions of the college. The library is an indispens-
able unit which undergirds the instructional pro-
gram, as well as contributes to the recreational
reading interests. The library is not an adjunct
to teaching but the heart of the learning process.

The resources of the library include 60.000 vol-
umes, several thousand pamphlets, 640 periodi-
cals, and 26 newspapers. The London Times, the
New York Times, the Savannah Morning News and
Savannah Evening Press and the Atlanta Constitu-
tion are on microfilm, in addition to book materi-
als in micro-print.

A Great Books Discussion Group, under the spon-
sorship of the library has been organized to en-
courage more people to read and meet together
to discuss great books.

Exhibitions of paintings by some of the world's
great artists are displayed in the library periodi-
cally.

A recently inaugurated lecture series has truly
made the library a market place of ideas.

All m all. the library of Savannah State is an es-
sential instrument in the life of the academic
community.

ACULTY

BUSINESS DIVISION

THE DIVISION OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
offers a wide variety of employment possibilities.
Opportunities exist for self-employment, for em-
ployment in private industry, and for employment
with the government national, state and local.

A student may find a challenging career in the
field of accounting if he has analytical ability, if
he has a facility with figures, and if he derives per-
sonal enjoyment while doing work which requires
the use of these attributes.

To realize the aims of a person desiring training
in business. Savannah State College's Division of
Business offers courses leading to the degree of
bachelor of science and a terminal, two-year pro-
gram leading to a certificate of proficiency.

ic classroom program in
general, specialized, and
professional education, the
teaching major at Savannah

varied, and meaningful lab-
oratory experience which

SERIOUS STUDY OF THE HUMAN HERITAGE:

THE DIVISION OF HUMANITIES, as the name im-
plies, is concerned primarily with transforming
the individual into a human and humane person.
The technique for realizing this aim is that of seri-
ous study of the human heritage as it has been
recorded in literature, music, art, and philosophy.
In this manner the student deepens his apprecia-
tion, sharpens his intellect, enhances his critical
powers, and incorporates himself in the main-
stream of the best that has been thought and
felt.

Dr. Coleridge A, Braithwaite. Department Chairman

In the area of music, the DEPARTMENT OF
FINE ARTS at State offers a major program
leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science
m Music Education and two minor programs
one for prospective teachers in the secondary
schools and a nonteaching program.

One of the most important operations in this
department is the awarding each year of a
number of scholarships, which are given to
capable applicants in all organizations upon
recommendation of the department.

The present facilities provide space for classes,
organizational rehearsals, practice periods,
listening room and offices. Pianos are provided
for practice, and band instruments are pro-
vided.

The musical organizations are each directed
by a full-time faculty member and provide
ample opportunity for students to receive ex-
periences in public performance which range
from programs on the campus at assemblies,
church services, vespers, and concert tours
in several states.

Art Department: NEW QUARTERS,

DESIGNED AND EQUIPPED WITH UP-TO-DATE FACILITIES

THE ART DEPARTMENT at State provides students
with an adequate environment for learning. If one
has the desire, then he can progress at State.

The Department is located in new quarters, es-
pecially designed and equipped with modern
studios and lecture rooms being brought up-to-date,
making it possible to teach the latest use of books
and methods in lithography etching, sengraphy.
ceramic, sculpture and painting.

Students who have studied art at State have reaped
many rewards. Some have won large sums of money
in art competition. Some are enjoying the success of
exhibiting their art at qualified galleries. Others
have successful careers as teachers of art.

Art students at State occasionally have opportuni-
ties of getting first-hand experience, as a number of
art jobs of short duration come into the Art Depart-
ment.

INSTRUCTIONS ARE
OFFERED IN THREE
LANGUAGES: FRENCH,
GERMAN AND SPANISH

THE DEPARTMENT OF MODERN LANGUAGES of-
fers instruction in French, German and Spanish.
The primary aim of the members of the Depart-
ment is to teach the student to understand, speak,
read and write these languages so that he may
communicate with others who speak them. This
instruction is carried on in daily recitations in
the classroom and also in a modern twenty
booth laboratory where the student can increase
his proficiency by listening to and repeating exer-
cises of various types especially prepared for
this purpose.

Outside the field of education, a person with a ma-
jor in a foreign language can find employment in
several areas. First, there is the area of organiza-
tions more or less international in character. Be-
cause of the nature of its work, there is almost a
constant demand at the United Nations Headquar-
ters for men and women who are proficient in
foreign languages.

THE STORY OF MAN: THE DIVISION OF SOCIAL SCIENCES

To gain a wide range of knowledge of men who
have shaped and are shaping their countries is
one aim of students in the DIVISION OF SOCIAL
SCIENCES. Students also examine the various so-
cial problems which have beset man since his
existence on earth. To gain an insight on how well
man has adjusted and is adjusting to his environ-
ment, students pursue courses in sociology.

To assist students in realizing these aims, THE
DIVISION OF SOCIAL SCIENCES offers two major
programs for persons interested in the social
sciences.

Curriculum I is designed for persons interested
in careers in: law, government, diplomatic service,
general research, and Urban League Work.

CURRICULUM REVISED TO MEET TODAY'S CHALLENGES

The Mathematics curriculum and courses are being
continually revised to keep in step with the recom-
mendations released by the School Mathematics
Study Group. The textbooks, course outlines, and
other materials are continuously being changed in
order to meet today's challenge.

The objectives of the department are not only to
prepare better teachers of Mathematics and Phys-
ics, but also to provide them with the courses nec-
essary to do further study in areas such as linear
programming and computing, statistical research,
electronics, guided missiles, engineering, mathe-
matics for various phases of industry research,

The DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY HAS GROWN
BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS IN THE PAST FEW
YEARS. THE TEACHING STAFF. TEACHING SPACE
AND EQUIPMENT HAVE BEEN INCREASED ONE
HUNDRED PERCENT.

The Department has been quite successful in
obtaining funds from Chemical Societies and
the National Science Foundation to sponsor sev-
eral significant programs.

Many research projects are carried out by stu-
dents in cooperation with the department's active
research program. The Department feels that re-
search projects serve as good preparation for
more highly developed and specialized research
that the students will encounter in graduate
school. The research program serves as an out-
let of expression of the student's scientific inter-
est and capabilities other than in the classroom
and gives him experience in employing the scien-
tific methods in problem solving.

Miss SSC is a distinct privilege, which a young
lady experiences once in a lifetime," Jacqueline
stated. Her court contained a bevy of beauties
representing all four classifications. Betty Smith,
Miss Senior Attendant; Shirley McDuffie, Miss
Junior Attendant; Alice Griggs. Miss Sophomore
Attendant; and Janice Johnson, Miss Freshman
Attendant.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION AND COLLEGE
PRESIDENT MEET REGULARLY TO MAINTAIN
STUDENT-FACULTY COMMUNICATION

For the second consecutive year, the Student Gov-
ernment Association has been characterized by
change. And a large part of this change has been
geared toward better faculty-student relations.

Occasionally the SGA is invited to President Jordan's
home to discuss problems and future development
and expansion at State.

At the first President-SGA meeting, President Jordan
previewed State's 10-year campus development
plan. SGA members were delighted over renova-
tions and expansions which are to take place at
State.

President Jordan, no doubt, reminded SGA members
that as students, they too will be affected by the
development plan. The proposed student union, for
instance, will include new facilities for the student
newspaper, yearbook and the SGA. The completely
air-conditioned structure will also include meeting
rooms for fraternities and sororities.

At the first meeting: the food was delicious.

The President's guest: they were delighted.

The 10-year plan: "Change affects all of us."

The final session: this ended the beginning.

HONORS DAY
CONVOCATION: ONE
OF THE LARGEST

Savannah State College's Honors Day Convocation
was one of the largest in the history of the college.
As the college band, under the direction of Samuel
Gill, played "War March of the Priest." the proces-
sion of honor students, and honor-graduated faculty
and staff members proceeded from the front of
Gordon Library to Wiley Gymnasium.

The invocation was given by Reverend Samuel Wil-
liams. Dr. Howard Jordan. Jr.. introduced the
speaker. Dr. Benjamin F. Payton, president of
Benedict College.

Following a warm applause to Dr. Payton's address,
a joint selection was rendered by the choral society
and concert band.

Dean Calvin L. Kiah presented to President Jordan
those students who received "Certificates of Recog-
nition."

Alpha Kappa Mu. Beta Kappa Chi and Alpha Phi
Gamma were the honor societies which gave recog-
nition to honor students at the convocation.

ASSEMBLY SPEAKERS AND LIBRARY LECTURERS

STIMULATE STUDENT OPINION

One of the advantages of being a student is the right
to be informed and to develop meaningful, knowl-
edgable opinions from facts and ideas of experts.
A series of lectures are presented through the Li-
brary Lecture Series to aid in this academic process.

These lectures are important in the quest for broad
educational horizons. They also serve as a valuable
stimulant to the student.

The Library Lecture on "The Meaning of Poverty" by Dr. Oscar
Handlin, (extreme right), stimulated many students to question the
ideas of the noted historian.

The "Talk-in"

SSC STUDENTS JOIN THE
BANDWAGON

One advantage of living in a democratic society is to have
the freedom of expression. In the spring of 1967, SSC stu-
dents exercised this freedom more than ever before.

As a rising tide of discontent swept across many of the
nation's colleges. SSC students found themselves joining
the bandwagon. Unlike many colleges, however, SSC stu-
dents manged to reason with the administration in order to
prevent serious misunderstanding.

The "talk-m", as it was called, was an invitation to both
students and faculty members to attend a mass meeting to
hear grievances of the former.

Students directed provocative questions to the moderator.
He, in turn, directed the questions to the proper authorities.

Radicals, too. were present. This group urged the student
body to sign a petition and to form a mass demonstration in
front of Meldrim Hall, the administration building. Amongthe
young radicals were what someone called "academic bums."
It was felt that the "academic bums" were characterized by
Utopian ideas. They attempted to persuade the students to
accept their ideology. But the majority of students failed
to yield to their philosophy.

Two "talk-ms" and a week later the grievances of the
students were met. The next day saw the students and the
administration working in cahoots again.

by their mutal feeling for the need of an organization which would bind Negro students to-
gether, organized Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, the first Negro Greek-Letter organization.

A traditional social event held by the "Ques" is the Annual Omega Mardi Gras, an activity
which includes dancing, games and plenty of eating. In the midst of the affair, music is
temporarily discontinued and the atmosphere becomes very tensed. Girls become excited.
Contestants running for the coveted title, "Miss Mardi Gras", are brought to the stage, and
the winner is announced. This year Wanda Shelley was crowned "Miss Mardi Gras".

Aside from social activities, Omega placed two additional members in honor societies.
Fleming Golden was inducted into Beta Kappa Chi and Harvey Jones became affiliated with
Alpha Kappa Mu.

In 1911, three young men, Edgar A. Love. Oscar J. Cooper and Frank Coleman, conceived
the idea of founding a Negro national fraternity. The young men discussed the matter and
concluded that they should have some guidance. They contacted Professor Ernest E. Just
and he consented, having a keen appreciation for the problems of youth.

On November 17, 1911. at Howard University, the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity was born.
From that one undergraduate chapter at Howard, the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity now has a
roster of more than 270 chapters. From a membership of three in 1911. Omega now
has a membership of more than 25.000.

TIGERS END SPARKLING YEAR

The Savannah State College Tigers closed
out is best season since the early 1950's and
topped it oft by going 3 in conference play
to capture the Southeastern Athletic Con-
ference Championship.

The Tigers defeated conference rivals
Edward Waters 136. Albany State 148
and won their first game on the road by slip-
ping by Morris College 2014. to clinch the
title.

In pre-season picks it was thought SSC would
possibly go undefeated with the experienced
players on the squad including four all-
conference players in tackle Bobby Carter,
linebacker Henry Betts. halfback Carlos West-
more and defensive halfback Vaughn Ford.

But after making a 15 6 debut against
Livingstone College, the Tigers traveled to
Alabama two consecutive weeks and suffered
two consecutive beatings.

Defending SEAC champions Alabama A&M
stopped SSC 230 followed by Alabama
State 228.

A three-game home stand saw the Tigers
sweep three big games from Lane, 20 6,
Edward Waters, 138, and Clark College,
16 7, raising the record to 42 overall and
1 in conference play.

After an open week the Tigers traveled to
Fort Valley for the Wildcats homecoming,
only to have their winning streak cut, set-
tling for a debatable 6 6 tie.

With only two games left, SSC returned
home to defeat conference rival Albany
State 14 7, for homecoming and moved a
notch closer to the crown, with only Morris
left.

SSC's stingy defense, going into that game
was following only 10.5 points per game with
the secondary picking off 20 stray aerials.

Offensively, rookie flanker David Truell captured
SSC's title, edging out fullback Frank Bell by two
points. Truell scored five touchdowns and a two-
point conversion and Bell had five tallies.

Despite going through most of the season with
key injuries including Bell, Carter, McDowell,
Adams and Handy, who missed the last two games
the Tigers managed to come from a once 2 1 rec-
ord to a 621 slate and captured the much
honored SEAC crown for the first time in a decade.

The SEAC Championship Trophy Pride of the Tigers

In addition to capturing the Southeastern Athletic Conference's football title and coach

ference team, bringing their team collection of trophies to 11 for the season.

Head Coach Leo Richardson received a plaque for being named coach of the year in the
conference and the follege was presented a gold football for capturing the title to ac-
count for the 1 1 awards.

Picked to the SEAC all-conference team as running back was Frank Bell who is noted
for blocking as well as ball carrying. Bell was the Tiger's number two scorer with 30
points and gained over 500 yards rushing.

Picked at end was David Truell, a freshman who led the Tigers in scoring with 32 points
on five touchdowns and one two-point conversion.

The offensive line, anchored by Willie Armstead, included guard Isaiah Berry.

Defensively, Willie West, an SSC rookie and Judson Brown, last year's MVP, held down
the tackle positions. Chosen as guard was Bobby Carter; Henry Betts, linebacker and half-
backs were Vaughn Ford and Willie Dixon.

To highlight the conference championship and placement of nine players on the "dream
team", Head Coach Leo Richardson was voted coach of the year and received a plaque for
his achievements during the past season.

SSC repeaters from 1966 included Carter, Betts and Ford. SSC was the only team to have
rookies named to the squad.

BETTS RECEIVES MVP TROPHY

Albert Frazier. athletic director, presents MVP Trophy to Henry Betts

Henry "Stanky" Betts, SSC's smallest in size but possibly biggest in heart and most
consistent this past season was voted by SSC's coaching staff as the most valuable player
and received the annual Coca Cola Gold Helmet Award.

Betts, a 5-10, 170 pound stature is a native of Pascagoula. Mississippi. He joined the
Tigers last season as a center and linebacker but proved to more effective at the latter
and has been in the linebacker slot thus far, being named all-conference his two years on
the squad.

In addition to his defensive chores, Betts handles most of the place kicking, booting
1 1-14 extra points, but failed to connect on a few long range field goal attempts.

Defensive Coach Richard Washington stated. "Betts is one of our finest players; he has
an outstanding personality. He is always ready when called upon and is always trying to
do a good job."

When asked how he felt about being named recipient of the annual award, Betts com-
mented, "It's a real honor and I'm grateful to our entire coaching staff and my fellow
players for making it possible."

Henry Betts, Gold Helmet winner, and all-conference linebacker, and place-kicker,
small insizebutbigm heart and ability and a true earner of all his laurels.

TIGERS DOWN WATERS 138

RANDALL. TRUELL GET TIGER TOUCHDOWNS
Victory-hungry Savannah State satisfied its appetite in Grayson Stadium by picking up its
first conference win of the season after dropping two straight games on the road with a
narrow 13 8 victory over Edward Waters College of Jacksonville.

The game brought SSC's record to 2 2 for the season and 1 in conference play and
put Waters also with a 22 over-all slate and 1 in conference play.

Neither team managed to start a substained offensive drive in the first period but SSC
didn't waste any time in the second stanza as quarterback Felix Bell found flanker
David Truell open in the end zone and sailed a five-yard pass good for six points. Henry
Betts booted the extra point. SSC's hard hitting line caused several fumbles throughout
the game but failed to score on numerous occasions. Defensive end Willie West jarred
toe 'skin away on the losers' 31 yard line and linebacker Fred Sipp landed on the ball,
giving the Tigers good field position. Waters managed to contain the Tigers, forcing them
to try a field goal which failed with :29 seconds left in the half.

Fullback Frank Bell, lending a big hand defensively, intercepted a Waters' pass on the

losers' 40 yard line and returned it 20 yards to the 15.
Tailback Isreal Randall, who racked up 49 yards rush-
ing and caught several passes, razzled-dazzled to the
end zone from there, giving SSC a 13 margin.

From that point on Waters came to life and Fullback
Roundtree capped a drive that covered 42 yards with a
one-yard plunge, cutting the score to 13 8.

The scoreboard tells the story.

STATE UPSETS CLARK, 166

No one remembers when Savannah State last defeated Clark College. It was sweet,
Saturday afternoon about 4:30 p.m. when the Tigers won over the highly-regarded Clark
College Panthers, 16 6.

It was an upset, but the Tigers won the hard way in the fourth period.

Willie West tagged Clark College's Eugene Rhodes for a safety to ignite a Tiger Rally.

After battling to a half time deadlock, the Panthers came to life in the third period.
Clark was faced with a fourth down and two yards to go for the first down on their own
29 yard line. Quarterback Dwight Ellison gave the skin to Rhodes and the speedster raced
71 yards to pay dirt. The conversion attempt failed.

Both teams had several scoring opportunities but the strong defenses stiffened on each

series of plays. SSC tried two field goals but both failed.

Clark had a drive killed when SSC defensive back

Fred Sipp intercepted a pass. The Tigers unable to get
their offensive clicking until the latter part of the
closely fought battle managed only 83 yards rushing
but picked up a 133 passing including 70 yard pass
from Freddie Mosley to flanker David Truell in the
final period. The Tiger last tally came with less
than two minutes left in the game when full back
Frank Bell scored from the 10-yard line. Game stand-
outs for SSC were Barry Gold, Vaughn Ford, Law-
rence Oliver, Willie West, and Isreal Randall who
scored SSC's single extra point.

ALUMNI CHEERED OVER HOMECOMING VICTORY
Savannah State's Tigers scored in the opening minutes of the last period to break a
7 7 three-period old deadlock and move a notch closer to the SEAC championship by
nippingstubborn Albany State College. 15 7.atGrayson Stadium.

In the opening minutes of the second period. SSC advanced to the Rams' one-yard line,
but the visitors' strong defensive line proved too much for the Tigers.

Ram quarterback Robert King ran the ball on the first play moving it to the 17-yard
line. Arthur Bell rambles 75 yards to pay dirt for the losers' only touchdown.

SSC's linebacker Henry Betts picked off a Ram aerial and raced 66 yards before being
hauled down from the rear, giving the Tigers a first at the Ram's 19, but once again the
visitors' rugged defensive unit clicked and SSC lost the ball on downs on the 30-yard line.

With 1:02 left in the first half, reserve quarterback Henry Bell sent flanker David Truell
on a long pass pattern, and an interference call on the Ram's 11 yard line put the Tigers
in scoring position. On a halfback option play Felix Bell hit Truell with a pass covering

five yards, good for the touchdown. Betts converted

and the score was seven-all.

SSC marched 71 yards in 11 plays for their last
score with Mosley passing to Truell for 25 yards and
to end Willie Matthews for 13 en route. Felix Bell
/^/i j& jA * plunged over from the one. Lawrence Oliver ran the

PAT to put SSC ahead to stay, 1 57.

Line backer Fred Sipp picked off a stray pass in the
latter part of the final period to kill a Ram drive that
started on their own 19-yard line and had reached
the Tigers' 20. During the march, Williams connected
on four of six passing attempts and picked up three
first downs.

SSC STOPS LANE, 206

Savannah State's Tigers staged a fourth period rally, scoring two touchdowns after inter-
ceptions, to come from behind and win their third game of the season with a 20 6 romp
over Lane College.

Fired up Lane, out for revenge from last year's 52 13 beating handed it by SSC, scored
in the first five minutes of the first period with freshman halfback Willington Jenkins
racing 53 yards on the visitor's third play of the game.

The Tigers crossed the mid-field stripe several times in the first half but failed to get
on the scoreboard as Lane's linebacker Charlie Jones picked off a Tiger aerial to kill a
drive that reached the Dragon's 37 yard line.

Defensive halfback Vaughn Ford picked off a Lane pass on the visitor's 18-yard line and
moved to the losers seven but again failed to score and Lane took over on downs. The

half ended with Lane's lone score posted.

SSC's stiff defense manged to hold the Dragons, forcing them
to punt.

Halfback Isreal Randall returned the kick 43 yards, to
Lane's 13 and with the aid of two penalities, SSC was at the
h>%A one-yard line. There halfback Frank Bell bulldozed his

way in for the six-pointer. Henry Betts booted the PAT giving
the home team a 7 6 lead.

The Tigers really came to life in the fourth period with
first year quarterback Freddie Mosley directing the attack.
Mosley ran three plays on the ground, advancing to the 22.
Mosley then hit Willie Matthews with a toss good for six
points. Once again Betts kicked the extra points. Defensive
back Lawerence Oliver later galloped 55 yards to pay dirt
for the winners' last tally.

championship. Early in the first quarter, George Penngrass of Morris intercepted Fred
Moseley's pass and sprinted for a 40 yard touchdown. Morris then kicked to SSC, and
Felix Bell received the ball on the six yard line and galloped 94 yards for the touchdown.
The run for point after was short and the score was all knotted at 6 6.

Late in the first quarter Cliff Crawford passed to Panngrass for six yards and the second
Morris touchdown. Leroy Toney ran the extra point.

In the middle of the second quarter, Henry Betts of Savannah State attempted a 33 yard

field goal which was short. At the half SSC trailed Morris 146.

In the third period, SSC's Vaughn Ford intercepted a Craw-
ford pass on Morns' 35 yard line and returned it to the
14. Moseley then passed to end Willie Matthews for 10 yards.
Frank Bell carried the ball over on the next play
from three yards out. Felix Bell ran the extra point to tie
the score at 14 points.

Later in the third quarter, Felix Bell ran a 10 yard touch-
down to put the Tigers out front 20 14. Betts' kick was
wide for the point after.

In the fourth quarter, Isreal Randall intercepted a
Morns pass on SSC's three yard line and returned it
to the Tigers' 24 to kill a Morris drive.

Henry Betts, Fred Sipp, Barry Gold, Judson Brown,
Bobby Carter, and Reginald Adams starred for the Tigers'
defense.

and Vaughn Ford.

SSC FALLS TO ALA. STATE

Alabama State College put together a devastating aerial attack along with an alert defense
to hand Savannah State College a 22 8 setback. Quarter back Charles Mitchell had an
impressive evening for the many pro scouts in the press box, sitting up 'Bama's first tally
with a 75 yard run to SSC's five yard line. On the next play, halfback Charlie Weeks
plunged in from the two, and Mitchell hiked it to a 7 with the PAT.

In the closing minutes of the first half, 'Bama blocked a Tiger punt and Mitchell dropped
a 55 yard scoring pass to end Jerry Allen to take a 13 lead at the half.

SSC came on strong in the third period with halfback Carlos Westmore sweeping around
end for 40 yards to 'Bama's seven. Felix Bell scooted around right end to the end zone.
Bell passed to David Truell for the PAT.

With 4:01 left in the third period, Mitchell found half-
back Weeks open on SSC's stiff defense restrained 'Ba-
ma's ground attack, forcing Mitchell to kick a 13 yard
field goal.

'Bama's final score came after a blocked punt, and
tackle Cornelius Brown scooted the football up and
lugged it to the end zone.

SSC's forward wall, anchored by Reggie Adams, Jeff
Brown, Barry Gold and Willie West, killed a 'Bama
threat in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter on
the Tigers' one yard line. On the final play of the
threat, Alabama State fumbled and Willie West re-
covered it.

283 yards to hand the Savannah State Tigers a 23 defeat here Saturday afternoon. The
Bulldogs 6 4. 205 pound quarterback Onree Jackson threw one touchdown pass to
Maurice Coleman that covered 53 yards in the final quarter and corrupted the Tigers'
secondary throughout the game, completing 1 1 of 39 passes.

Halfback Branski Towns got the bulldogs on the road by picking up a Tiger punt on his
34 and returned it 66 yards for the first tally of the afternoon with only eight seconds
remaining in the first period.

In the second period, Jackson and company continued their superb aerial attack but

failed to make the scoreboard with the Tigers' stiff de-
fense stopping several scoring threats.

In the remaining part of the half, the Tigers' for-
ward wall blocked a field goal, and end Willie West
picked off a pass to kill a drive that covered 76 yards
and gave SSC possession at the close of the half.

left m the third period on a one yard plunge by full-
back Alvm Pursnell. The Bulldogs' other points

SNOW COVERS CAMPUS; CLASS CANCELED

'How would you like a nice snow ball?"

'Baby, it's cold up here.

The great battle

They would rather fight than switch

It was a normal night, except tor the "fanatics" who
kept hollering, "it's going to snow tonight!" Who
ever heard of a "big snow" in Savannah anyway?

Nobody really worried and nobody really cared.
Most students put in the usual evening of study and
went to bed at the usual time.

Four a.m. saw a room mate ask, "hey room, what's
all that white stuff?"

By 5 a.m., almost everyone, dressed in their
sleepers, was walking up and down the corridor.
"This must be a bajama party," somebody joked.

At the other end of the hall, a phone was being
used. "Calling your girl kind of early, heh, man?"

"No. calling the lady at the local draft board,
was suppose to be inducted today. Unfortunately,
it snowed," he answered ironically.

Out went the lights!

"The lights! Who turned out the damn lights!"

"Don't worry, man, I have some candles in my
room."

Then the hall lit up with candles like a group of
choir members singing Christmas carols in candle
light.

Finally, day broke, cold and dull, exceedingly cold
and dull. Before long, though, things spiced up.
Students turned out for snow battles. The top of
Wright Hall was like a fort as students fired snow
balls at cars, faculty members and other students
who dared to pass by.

By 3 p.m., the "big snow" was nearly a thing of the
past as sunshine melted most of the snow. And the
next day was a normal day of class.

Nevertheless, the "big snow" was a memorable
day. It was almost unreal.

The "fanatics" slept through it all.

IT WAS A HELLUVA JOB OR SO IT SEEMED

}

It was nearly 7 months ago when I
sat in the office and stared at 250
pages of blank layout sheets, when
the going was rough, when pictures
were late, when deadlines were near,
when there were yearbook-study
conflicts I wished that I had left
those blank layout sheets alone.

Many a late evening. I would sit
and envy those who had leisuretime
while I labored at editing a yearbook.
During that time I was tempted to
escape into the world of many of my
peers who seemed, at that ime. to
have it made. But I found that life is
not having it made. It's getting it
made. And with the completion of
each page, something within me was
strengthened. That something gave
me the patience and fortitude to run
until I reached the finish line. And
that I did.

ROBERT L JOINER. II. Editor-i n-Chief

This is not to say that the credit
for producing this yearbook is due
to one person. If I had worked alone,
this task would still be incomplete.

Margaret Dukes, my associate, deserves to be thanked. So does Cynthia Doach. Lavon
Love, Mary Milam, Raymond Hightower, and Dorothy Brown. It is through the efforts of
these people that the yearbook is now in your hands.

Thanks, too. to those who stopped by the office to smoke all of my cigarettes and to
drink all of my coffee. I trust that our efforts will inspire you to have patience and forti-
tude in whatever task you undertake.

Again, the going was sometimes rough and everything seemed more glamorous than
producing a yearbook. But the final rewards have been far greater than the rewards re-
ceived from the completion of any task undertaken by me.

It was a helluva job or so it seemed.

Robert L. Joiner, II
