SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE
STATE COLLEGE BRANCH
SAVANNAH. GEORGIA 31404
OFFICE OF
THE PRESIDENT
Dear Savannah State College Students,
Faculty, and Staff:
During the 1980-81 academic year at Savannah State College, we,
at Savannah State College, ushered in a new beginning at the "College
by the Sea." The 1981-82 academic year has been filled with progress
in regard to our physical plant and academic programs. The College
is also successfully addressing the problems of the urban community
in which it is located. It is my firm belief that the 1982 "Tiger"
Yearbook will chronicle the academic accomplishments , activities ,
and events of the faculty, students, staff, and administration of
the College.
Let us look at this current academic year as one of an increased
awareness of what Savannah State College means to each one of us. I
hope that the 1982 "Tiger" has captured your fondest memories and
accomplishments this past academic year.
"In our hearts we'll build a shrine for thee,"
"We hail thee SSC."
Sincerely ,
1981-82
Wendell G
President
An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer

Is this big enough for you/
I Quit, it's time to eat
Would they mind if I took this?
I should have been an advisor too
It's easier this way.
If you need me I will be right here.
Are we supposed to eat this
Even I'am serious sometimes.
I' am glad that's over.
An editor's work is never done.
Hard work, dedication, and a desire to achieve excellence is an ample description of the 1981 -
82 Tiger Staff. Many thanks to those who worked so hard to assure that this edition of the
SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE TIGER YEARBOOK is the best ever.
The road to success is a difficult one. But, unwavering support from the S.S.C. faculty, staff,
administration and yearbook advisors have made this road as easy to travel as any.
I sincerely hope that this attitude will prevail throughout all endeavors at S.S.C. For only
through this kind of cooperation, dedication, and singleness of purpose, will this institution
survive the trying times of the eighties.
Predominately Black institutions are, at best, in danger of being absorbed by the traditional
unresponsive controlling forces of higher education. We must strive to keep these forces aware
of the fact that predominately Black institutions still have a viable place in our higher
educational society.
We control our own destiny. We can climb to the highest pennacle of success or we can plunge
to the lowest depths of choas and aimlessness.
Lets join hands in this effort so that we can all assend together for S.S.C!

After 91 years Savannah State College is still going through changes; from yesterday's agricultural land-
grant school to today's liberal arts institution of higher education.
Though still holding on to its place in history, SSC continues to progress. Many of the beautiful sites on
the campus are gone forever but, they are being replaced by sites that bring SSC s physical appearance
into the realm of the 20th century, while still embracing the essence of what has come to be known as the
"College by the Sea.".
MMeldrim Hall is gone forever; never to be erected again. All that remains in its place is a desolate area and
'" thousands of fond memories. However, all is not lost. The vacant space will soon be filled by an extension
of the modern student union facility.
Remember "Coaches Corner" with the Westley Weiners and Backus Burgers? It is also gone. All that's
left is an empty space with an occasional car standing. _^^
* J The president's house, as Hodge Hall was called, is that no more. What is now the president' s future home
is just that. It is located on the shore of the sprawling marsh next to Wiley-Wilcox Gymnasium. It is ri-
p- valed in beauty by no other building on campus except the ever majestic Hill Hall.
''- Where did all the college administration go? They are all housed in what used to be the A.H. Gordon Li-
brary. . ,^ ^ , . .,..,, ^^ ^
How about SSC's new network? We now have sidewalks in every imaginable place. Just imagine, any
place on campus and never having to touch dirt.
No other campus in the world offers such a harmonious blend of the old and the new. From the ultra mod-
ern structure which will be the President's home; to the elderly oak, moss laden, trees Savannah State
College is beautiful.
In our hearts we'll surely build a shrine to thee. All hail SSC. All hail SSC. .^^ ., .,

Savannah State College saw the end of an era when Albert E. Frazier, athletic director at SSC, stepped down
as athletic director after 20 years of distinguished service on December 31, 1981.
Frazier cited reasons of health and the desire to spend the remainder of his professional career as a professor
in the classroom for giving up the AD job.
Frazier, a native of Thunderbolt, received his early education in the Savannah State College grammar school.
He finished high school at Tuskegee Institute after a standout career as a varsity basketball and football
player. Frazier graduated from Tuskegee Institute in 1939 with a B.S. degree in secondary education and
received an M.A. degree from the University of Arizona at Tempe. While at Tuskegee, he was a standout
varsity halfback and quarterback.
Frazier is credited with bringing SSC into the modern era of intercollegiate athletics. When he came to SSC,
the College only had three sports and was a member of the old SEAC which had only six teams.
Under his aegis the College joined the 16 team SI AC and expanded to seven sports and moved from the NAIA
to Division III of the NCAA. More recently, he led the College's athletic teams to join Division II of the NCAA
in the fall of 1980. Frazier also was instrumental in the development of the Wilcox-Wiley Physical Education
Complex in the late 1960s. Tiger Stadium was also constructed during his tenure as athletic director.
Dr. Wendell G. Rayburn, president of SSC, views the contributions of Albert Frazier to Savannah State
College as a great legacy. "Coach Frazier is a legend in his own time. Savannah State College is a better
institution for having had him as athletic director. I am pleased that he will remain with us as an assistant pro-
fessor of physical education."

Shirley Whitacre, NCAA Administrative Assistaant, recently informed Albert Frazier, Savannah State
College Athletic Director, that the NCAA classification committee at its June 25, 1981 meeting approved
SSC's request to be classified from Division III to Division II in all sports effective September 1, 1981.
Also, in accordance with NCAA By-law 9-3(C), Savannah State must continue to be classified in its new
division for a minimutyi of three years.
SSC can now play its conference schedule within the state of Georgia. The six predominately black senior
colleges in the state are currently competing in Division II (Fort Valley State College and Morehouse
College were also granted Division II status). This year's conference opponents will be Morris Brown,
Morehouse, Albany State, Fort Valley, and Clark College.

Russel! Ellington hasn'l been
happy with his starting lineup's play
for quite sometime no\v So. Satur-
day night, ihc Savannnh State head
coach decided something had to be
done .,,,,,-..
Ellington juEgted his starting
five and came up with a flush as the
Tigers defeated the Tuskegec Insti-
tute Golden Tigers 80-70.
With two new freshman in the
lineup, along 'Aith two sophomores
and senior forward Teddy Hiley. Sa-
vannah State never trailed in the
game in getting back to the &00
mark at 7-7
"What I thought was. you can't
go any worse than were going so I
knew we had to make some
changes." said Ellington '
Freshman Greg Hillman started
at Ihe point for senior Ken Glower
and freshman Charlie Askew start-
ed at the other guard Normnl shoot-
ing guard Michael Stocks was
moved to smnll forwdrd thdt left
Junior forward Charles M.ickic on
the bench Riley teamed with Milton
Sexton in Ihe middle
Hiliman hit for 10 points and ran
the Tigers offense as Ellin^^ton had
been instructing his point guards to
do all season and Askew scored 12
points At his new position, Slocks
scored a game high 23 points and Ri-
ley, whose starting role was in jeo-
jiardy before Saturdav ni;ht, hit for
1^ r ""IS and grabbt-d 1 1 rebounds
"1 thouf;ht Greg Hillm.m wnuld
come around about mid season.
had a goctd touch from outside. Il
was a perfect timff to see those two
freshmen I knew Tuskegee would,
be tough and it would be a good
game to see wh^t they could do,"
So. what's the evaluation''
"It was just beautiful," he said.
About the only thing not so pretty
about the game from Savannah
State's viewpoint was the clock,
which was inoperable for the entire
game
Maybe, or maybe not. it was be- '
cause of the two new additions to the
lineup, but the Tigers were more
rhythmic in their game pattern than
they have been all season. Savannah
State ran when the break was there
and they ran a patterned offense
when Tuskegee denied the fast
break
Though trailing throughout, Tus-
kegee had the manpower and
looked to have potential to come
back Everyiime It appeared Savan-
nnh State was going to run away and
hide. Tuskegee would get a couple of
unanswered buckets
After Savannah State look a 40-37
halftime lead, the advantage
swayed between three and seven
points the first 13 minutes of the sec-
ond half
While SSC was getting its points
with normally good percentage
shots. Sam Bnnson, K^ny Hayes
and David Trent of Tuskegee kept
hitting radar range jumpers Bnn-
son scored 12. Hayes 14, and Trent

Coach Saralyn. Trudell, Tigerette
Head Coach played for the Savan-
nah Department of Leisure Services

dega College in Talladega, Ala-
bama where she played and started
for four years. After an illustrious
career at Talladega, Trudell began

tough defense and puts the ball in
use as many times as possible, it
will be successful.
Coach Trudell is a very competitive
coach and she instills this competi-
tive spirit in her players.
