REMEMBER WHEN"

Youth lives on hope, old age on remembrance. — Unknown

When other lips and other hearts
Their tales of love shall tell,

In language whose excess imparts
The power they feel so well,

There may, perhaps, in such a scene
Some recollection be

Of days that have as happy been

And you'll remember me. — Alfred Bunn

AN INTRODUCTION TO SSC

Savannah State College, in its long history of 76 years, is located off Taylor Road and Falligant Avenue, in the histor
city of Savannah, which is the oldest city and chief seaport of the state, as well as the first capital.

The campus, comprising one hundred and thirty-six acres, presents a setting of matchless natural beauty.

The College now includes six divisions and 14 departments which give students a wide variety of courses from whic
to select. The major divisions are Business Administration, Education, Humanities, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, an
Technical Sciences. Through the offerings of these divisions, students may prepare for varied careers in the areas of ar
modern foreign languages, English and literature, biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics, physical education, hon
economics, music, history, economics, sociology, political science, engineering technology, and industrial education.

A dormitory to house 100 women students was opened at the beginning of the Fall Quarter, 1964. This two-stoi
brick structure was constructed at a cost of approximately $280,000. It includes grooming rooms for beauty culture, a snac
kitchen, a laundrette, and a combination room for lounging, reception and recreation. Two young ladies are housed in a roon

A dormitory for 180 women at a cost of approximately $520,000 has been completed and is now in use.

A two-story air-conditioned classroom building at a cost of approximately $500,000 has been completed and
now in use. It is located on Taylor Road, south of the Technical Sciences Building across the street from Powell Hall. Th
new building consists of 15 classrooms, data processing facilities, a language laboratory, a reading clinic, and an administn
tive area with office space for 33 instructors.

A $400,000 annex to Wiley Gymnasium has been open since last February. This new physical education facilit
consists of a swimming pool, classrooms, and additional spectator seating for indoor sports.

A Music and Fine Arts Building at an approximate cost of $500,000 is under construction. This building will includ
a Little Theatre for dramatics, and will be ready for occupancy during the Summer Session 1966.

A four-unit, all weather, lighted tennis court has been erected adjacent to the athletic field, and is now in use.

Construction of a dormitory to accommodate 180 men is under way. This dormitory is being built at the entrance <
the campus, on the corner of Falligant Avenue and Taylor Road. It will be a modern three-story facility, and will consist (
ninety bedrooms of the studio type. This building will include a lobby, recreational areas, and an apartment for the hous
director, barber shop, room for TV viewing, and laundromat. This new facility will be completely air-conditioned and cor
structed at an approximate cost of $600,000. It is estimated that this dormitory will be ready for occupancy in September 196(

The above listed facilities along with the facilities already available at Savannah State College will provide the studenl
and faculty with a desirable environment for greater learning activities.

For the Biennium of 1966-68 Savannah State College has requested from the Board of Regents the following facilities
A new Dining Hall-Cafeteria; A Natural Science Building; A technical Home Economics Building; A Nursery School fo
Early Childhood Education and a Student Union Building.

THE INTELLECTUAL CENTER OF THE CAMPUS

. H. GORDON LIBRARY — Named in honor of Dr. Asa H. Gordon, who was the first member of the college faculty to
publish a book. He served the college as Dean of Faculty and Director of Research and Publications.

The library of the college is one of its most prized possessions. The adequacy of its resources and the nature of its
rvices to students and faculty largely determine the quality of the academic program. On the Savannah State College campus,
e library is an indispensable unit which undergirds the instructional program as well as contributes to the recreational
ading interests. The library is not an adjunct to teaching but the heart of the learning process.

The library staff and faculty are busy assembling a notable book collection to be used in active support of the academic
rriculum. Assembling a book collection is not enough! The librarian and his staff actively encourage students to use books
ith an emphasis on the role that books play in the intellectual life of the academic community. The resources of the library
elude 51,250 volumes, several thousand pamphlets, 640 periodicals, and 26 newspapers. The London Times, the New York
mes, the Savannah Morning News, and the Savannah Evening Press, are on microfilm, in addition to book materials in
icro-print.

"Let's Listen to a Story," hour under the direction of Mrs. Althea Anderson, Circulation Librarian, is held weekly

r the children of the community. Dr. Samuel Johnson said, "Those who do not read can have nothing to think and say."

Great Books Discussion Group, under the sponsorship of the library has been organized to encourage people to read and
eet together to discuss great books.

Dr. J. W. Jamerson, local dentist, and E. J. Josey, Librarian, are the codeaders of the group. Exhibitions of paint-
gs by some of the world's great artists are displayed in the library periodically. A recently inaugurated lecture series has
uly made the library a market place of ideas.

All in all, the library of Savannah State College is an essential instrument in the life of the academic community.

THE GENERAL CURRICULUM

The General Education Program proposes to provide opportunities for all students to acquire the basic
ills, attitudes, habits, appreciations and understandings requisite for the good life.

It seeks to guarantee to all students competency in communication and thinking. It further proposes to
ient students toward and to sensitize them to human and universal good and to the worth and dignity of
ery human being.

At this college the general curriculum is preoccupied with the major disciplines that:

1. Acquaint the students with broad areas of knowledge and human experience;

2. Give them an understanding of themselves, their culture and physical environment;

3. Provide the students with a sound intellectual and moral foundation upon which character and pro-
fessional and vocational opportunity may rest.

The program is concerned generally with freshman and sophomore students. However, some attention is
voted to students on the junior and senior level of their intellectual maturation. In this respect, general edu-
tion is an integral phase of the experience of all students who matriculate for a degree at the College.

The General Education Program is under the general supervision of the General Education Committee
d the Coordinator of General Education. The Committee consists of students and faculty members.

THE DIVISIONS

The formal instructional program of Savannah State College comprises the general curriculum, areas of
ajor and minor concentration, and terminal curricula. The program is organized within these seven divisions:

THE DIVISION OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

THE DIVISION OF EDUCATION

Department of Elementary Education

Department of Secondary Education

Department of Health, Physical Education and Recreation

THE DIVISION OF HUMANITIES

Department of English
Department of Fine Arts
Department of Modern Languages

THE DIVISION OF NATURAL SCIENCES

Department of Biology

Department of Chemistry

Department of Mathematics and Physics

THE DIVISION OF SOCIAL SCIENCES

THE DIVISION OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES
Department of Home Economics
Department of Engineering Technology

DIVISION OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

A high school student who is preparing for a career in
business via the college route should direct his efforts toward
becoming proficient in mathematics and English at the high
school level. Proficiency in mathematics allows him to make
quick use of quantitative tools in solving business problems.
Proficiency in English permits him to communicate his ideas.
The ability to do both are significant attributes of business
personnel.

Though not essential, since the college offers the necessary
fundamentals, a student may also take such courses as book-
keeping, shorthand, and other business subjects which are
offered at his respective high school. Such an approach, at
least, allows the student to make a tentative judgment as to
whether or not he is favorably inclined toward specific subject
areas. It should be pointed out unequivocally, however, that
business training, on the college level, embraces much more
than typewriting and shorthand.

Since more and more high school students are arriving at
college with typing skills, it is recommended that a course in
typewriting be taken. Entering students are exempted from
typewriting courses in which they meet the course standards.

Whether or not students interested in the secretarial or
teaching programs should take shorthand in high school, since
they are required courses in these college curricula, is a
debatable question. Evidence at our institution suggests that
the student might well spend the time that he might devote to
shorthand in high school to additional preparation in
grammar and composition, if he is not already proficient in
these areas.

One of the advantages of majoring in business is that one
is preparing himself for a wide variety of employment possi-
bilities. Opportunities exist for self-employment, for em-
ployment in private industry, and for employment with the
government — national, state and local.

Some positions, for which training in business at Savan-
nah State College is designed to prepare students include:

Entrepreneurs Secretaries

Accountants Stenographers

Bookkeepers Typists

Salesmen Business Managers

Economists Teachers of Business

HAYWARD S. ANDERSON, D.B.A., Chairman

To realize the aims of a person desiring training in bus
ness, Savannah State College's Division of Business offe
courses leading to the degree of bachelor of science and
terminal, two-year program leading to a certificate of pr
ficiency.

A student who pursues a degree in business at this i
stitution may concentrate his efforts in one of the followii
areas: (1) General Business Administration, (2) Accour
ing, (3) Economics, (4) Secretarial Science, and (5) Tl
Program for Teachers of Business Education. In each
the above curricula, consideration has been given to tl
course requirements for graduate study.

Because of the numerous job opportunities that exi
currently for accountants and secretaries, students shou
become familiar with the attributes of successful accountar
and secretaries as well as the nature of the job opportunity
that are available.

A student may find a challenging career in the field
accounting if he has analytical ability, if he has a facility wi
figures, and if he derives personal enjoyment while doii
work which requires the use of these attributes.

While numerous lists have been compiled which suggf
attributes of a good secretary, the attributes of loyalty ai
a mastery of shorthand and typewriting are frequent
mentioned. While the following list is by no means all i
elusive, it, nevertheless, gives some further insight in
desired attributes of a good secretary. A prospective ei
ployer recently wrote that he had a secretarial vacancy b
in order to meet the job specifications the secretary had
have the following: a pleasing personality, facility wi
English, a mastery of telephone etiquette, courtesy, neatne
in both appearance and work, and the ability to work wi
others. Aspiring secretaries can acquire and develop mai
of these attributes early.

Because occupations within the field of business a
numerous and because the specific required attributes with
each occupation may vary, high school students are e
couraged, in addition to utilizing their own counselors,
visit colleges and counsel with professors and counselors f<
guidance in career selection.

Business Students Training for Tomorrow's Responsibilities

DIVISION OF EDUCATION

CALVIN L. KIAH, Ed.D., Chairman

The Division of Education at Savannah State College is a member of the Association of Colleges for
teachers Education. It offers twelve curricula in teacher preparation and a program of basic training for
sacher-librarians. These programs are approved by the State Department of Education. This means that satis-
actory completion of any program brings automatic certification in the field of study pursued.

A person majoring in Education at Savannah State College is the concern of every division and department
f the College, therefore, the resources and facilities — as well as the interest and efforts of the entire institution,
re at his disposal.

Aside from a strong academic classroom program in general, specialized, and professional education,
he teaching major at Savannah State College has rich, varied, and meaningful laboratory experience which
•rings one into constant contact with children and youth.

COLLEGE-WIDE PROVISION FOR TEACHER EDUCATION

The Division comprises three departments: the De-
partment of Elementary Education; the Department of
Health, Physical Education and Recreation; and the
Department of Secondary Education. The preparation
of teachers is, however, a college-wide commitment.
Because every division and department at the College
is involved in training teachers in some subject matter
field, this function engages the constant interest and
efforts, staff resources, and facilities of the entire in-
stitution.

Students entering the Division of Education do not only get classroom experiences to enable them to become good
;eachers but the curriculum also enables them in meeting the responsibility in nursery centers and the community.

Physical Education and Recreation is to afford pro-
fessional training for pre-service and in-service teach-
ers of health, physical education, and recreation in
the elementary and secondary schools. A parallel aim
is advisement. The aim is to provide for all students
instruction in the basic principles of health and recrea-
tional activity needed for wholesome living.

In pursuance of the foregoing aims, this Depart-
ment provides a four-fold program of instruction.
For students who plan to become professional workers
in the field of health, physical education, and recrea-
tion— either in schools or in other agencies — the de-
partment offers a sequence of specialized training to
the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education, with
a concentration in health, physical education, and
recreation.

In addition, for all students enrolled in teache
education curricula at Savannah State College, thi
department provides basic training in supervision o
one or more phases of a comprehensive healtl
physical education, and recreation program in th
schools of Georgia. This phase of the work is pre
vided either in selected specialized courses or in
minor sequence. Further, for all students enrolle<
at the college this department provides instruction i
the fundamental concepts and activities of healtl
physical education, and recreation as an essentia
phase of general education.

Finally, this department serves the college con
munity through instruction and leadership in the intra
mural program. The intramural program is, in effect
a laboratory in which students enjoy practicing th
skills learned in general service courses and relis,
competing with their peers.

It is not only the policy of the Savannah State College curriculum to train the mind but the college also offers a well-
rounded program for the training of the body.

DIVISION OF HUMANITIES

FORREST O. WIGGINS, Ph.D., Chairman

The Division of Humanities, as its name implies, is concerned primarily with transforming the individual
nto a human and humane person. The technique for realizing this aim is that of serious study of the human
leritage as it has been recorded in literature, music, art, and philosophy. In this manner the student deepens
lis appreciation, sharpens his intellect, enhances his critical powers, and incorporates himself in the mainstream
)f the best that has been thought and felt.

The Division of Humanities provides opportunities for majoring in English, music, the fine arts, French,
ind Spanish. The curricula in these areas are designed also to prepare teachers. Thus students who elect to
each become purveyors of the humanistic tradition. The College provides a means also for meeting the national
leed for persons trained in foreign languages. As future linguists and/or teachers, students have an unusual
>pportunity at Savannah State College. A strong faculty in modern language in addition to a recently installed
aboratory assures the students the means of thoroughly preparing themselves in this area.

of humanities, lectures to students in one of several
language courses.

THE DEPARTMENT OF FINE ARTS

MUSIC

In the area of music, the Department of Fine Arts at Sa-
vannah State College offers a major program leading to the
degree of Bachelor of Science in Music Education and two
minor programs — one for prospective teachers in the second-
ary schools and a nonteaching program. All of the curricula
have been approved by the three national accrediting agencies
— The Music Teachers National Association, the National
Association of Schools of Music and the Music Educators
National Conference, as well as by the State Board of
Certification and the Board of Regents of the University
System of Georgia.

Courses include intensive work in theory, history and
literature, performance, applied music, conducting and music
education. Although 75 hours are required for state certifica-
tion, a total of 82 hours constitutes the four-year music re-
quirement at the College. Previous training of at least two
years in any applied area is required of all prospective
majors, but skilled aptitude is recognized and accepted in
lieu of this requirement if necessary. Most majors must
pursue four years of training in piano, voice, or another
instrument as well as the same amount of time in their
applied major area. In addition to the music courses, all
candidates for a degree take a large complement of courses
in general education and the professional sequences.

The five musical organizations — The Marching Band. The
Concert Band, The Choral Society, The Women's Glee Club
and The Men's Glee Club — are each directed by a full-time
faculty member and provide ample opportunity for students
inside and outside of the department to receive experiences
in public performance which range from programs on the

campus at assemblies, church services, vespers, and special
programs, to local television appearances, concerts in the
community, athletic games away from home, and concert tours
in several states.

One of the most important operations in this department
is the awarding each year of a number of scholarships, called
grants-in-aid, which are given to capable, worthy applicants
in all organizations upon recommendation of the department.
Depending upon the aptitude, academic standing, and fi-
nancial need of the student, these awards are sufficient at
times to provide tuition for a full year. Grants are made,
however, only to applicants who file the necessary forms, are
recommended by the department, and are approved by the
Committee on Scholarships. Recipients, encouraged to ap-
ply in the spring, are usually notified during the summer,
well in advance of the opening of the Fall Quarter.

As for facilities, the Department at the present time
occupies the entire third floor of Hill Hall and the Morgan
Hall Annex, but plans have just been completed for the
construction of a new Fine Arts Building which will house
the entire Department. The present facilities provide space
for classes, organizational rehearsals, practice periods, listen-
ing room, and offices. Pianos are provided for practice, and
band instruments are provided, both without charge. Com-
plete uniforms, robes, stoles, and blazers are also furnished
to members of the various organizations.

For any additional information concerning the Depart-
ment please feel free to address your inquiries to Dr.
Coleridge A. Braithwaite, Chairman, Department of Fine Arts,
Savannah State College.

ART

SSC student, Lee Fluker, views with appreciation the paintings of fine arts student Paul Johnson.

The rewards can be great for a person with or
ithout "artistic talent." To gain these rewards, one
eeds only the desire to learn and a good place in
rhich to learn. The Art Department at Savannah
tate College provides students with an adequate
nvironment for learning. If one has the desire, then
e can progress at Savannah State College.

The Art Department is located in new quarters,
specially designed and equipped with modern studios
nd lecture rooms being brought up-to-date, making
: possible to teach the latest use of books and methods
i lithography, etching, serigraphy, ceramic, sculpture,
nd painting.

Students who have studied art at Savannah State
lollege have reaped many rewards. Some have won
arge sums of money in art competition. Some are
njoying the success of exhibiting their art at qualified
alleries. One former student is in the Pentagon in
Washington, D. C, where he is using the knowledge

of art acquired here. Others have successful careers
as teachers of art. And, still others have gone on to
more advanced studies in schools throughout the
country.

Art students at Savannah State College occasion-
ally have opportunities of getting first-hand experi-
ence, as a number of art jobs of short duration come
into the Art Department. There are some jobs of a
more permanent nature waiting to be filled.

The Art Department is prepared and eager to
help students in many ways. The rewards can be
plentiful for those who are seeking; and when they
acquire a Bachelor of Science Degree in Art Educa-
tion, they will find that rewards other than salary,
position, dignity, or fame await them. They may
learn, ultimately, to enrich their lives with things
which do not pass so quickly; for, to know and to be
able to enjoy knowing is indeed a divine reward.

MODERN LANGUAGES

The Department of Modern Languages offers in-
struction in three languages: French, German and
Spanish. The primary aim of the members of the
Department is to teach the student to understand,
speak, read and write these languages so that he may
communicate with others who speak them. This in-
struction is carried on in daily recitations in the class-
room and also in a modern twenty booth laboratory
where the student can increase his proficiency by
listening to and repeating exercises of various types
especially prepared for this purpose. For students
who wish to develop more than an elementary pro-

ficiency in French or Spanish, the Department offersj
courses leading to a minor in either language. It also
offers courses leading to the degree of Bachelor oi
Science in Education with a concentration either in
French or Spanish.

Outside of the field of education, a person with a
major in a foreign language can find employment in
several areas. First, there is the area of organizations
more or less international in character. Because oi
the nature of its work, there is almost a constant de-
mand at the United Nations Headquarters for men
and women who are proficient in foreign languages.

The department of Modern Languages does not merely offer instruction but it also attempts to perfect students in the
understanding, writing and reading of languages in order to communicate with others who speak them.

DIVISION OF NATURAL SCIENCES

BOOKER T. GRIFFITH, Ph.D., Chairman

The Division of Natural Sciences is proud of the record that it has made in helping young people find
lemselves in the scientific and mathematical world during the last quarter of a century.

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY

The aims of the Department of Biology are (1) to
provide for all students that knowledge which is
essential to an understanding of the biological basis
of living; (2) to train persons adequately through
the media of advanced courses for entry into the pro-
fessional study of dentistry, medicine, and nursing;
(3) to prepare persons to teach the biological sciences
in the secondary school or to continue study on the
graduate level.

In addition to the required general courses, this
department offers courses leading to the degree of
Bachelor of Science with a major in biology. This
department offers also a minor.

The Biology Department is proud of its achieve-
ments during the last several years. It takes great
pride in reviewing the records of some of its graduates.

THE DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY

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 per
cent.

The Department has been quite successful in obtaining
funds from Chemical Societies and the National Science
Foundation to sponsor several significant programs such as
the In-Service Institute for teachers of Chemistry and General
Science in secondary education and the Summer Science
Program for selected high school students.

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

The Department of Chemistry provides basic training for
higher education — work leading to the Master of Science and
Ph.D. degree. In addition to this it provides all of the chem-
istry needed in pre-nursing, pre-dental and pre-medical edu-
cation.

The curriculum has been revised so that the student will
receive a substantial number of courses in mathematics,
physics, and biology which will aid him in becoming a better
Chemist.

The Department believes in creativity, freedom of ex-
ploration, productivity, hard work, and recreation.

Students do not only develop good relationship with their
professors, but they also develop participation-relation-
ships in research projects with professors. Dr. Charles
Pratt and students discuss chemistry research findings.

THE DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS

The Mathematics curriculum and courses are being con
tinually revised to keep in step with the recommendations
released by the School Mathematics Study Group in 1960
The textbooks, course outlines, and other materials are con
tinuously being changed in order to meet today's challenge
The Physics courses are designed to give emphasis to the
PSSC recommendations for college Physics.

The objectives of the department are not only to prepare
better teachers of Mathematics and Physics, but also to pro-
vide them with the courses necessary to do further study in
areas like linear programming and computing, statistical
research, electronics, guided missiles, engineering, mathe-
matics for various phases of industry research, actuary
science and over twenty branches of governmental service.

The operation of certain instruments is also taught to

students in chemistry, mathematics and physics classes.

Dr. Raut instructs student Jannie Singleton.

DIVISION OF SOCIAL SCIENCES

ELMER J. DEAN, Ed.D., Chairman

The Division of Social Sciences offers two major programs for persons interested in the social sciences.
Curriculum I leads to the B.S. degree in the social sciences with a concentration in history. Curriculum II leads
o the B.S. degree in the social sciences with a concentration in sociology leading to the professional study of
iocial work.

Persons who plan to teach social studies in the secondary school should enroll in the Teach Educational
5rogram and pursue the B.S. degree in Education with a concentration in the social sciences.

Curriculum I is designed for persons interested in careers in: law, government, diplomatic service, general
•esearch, Young Men's Christian' Association, and Urban League Work.

Curriculum II is designed for persons interested in careers as social workers, probation officers, voca-
ional counselors, camp counselors, employment interviewers, juvenile court workers, welfare fund workers, and
mmigration service workers.

DIVISION OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES

CLYDE W. HALL, Ed.D., Chairman

The Division of Technical Sciences seeks to ac-
complish two major objectives: (1) to provide students
with sufficient specialized training in engineering
technology, technical home economics and industrial
teacher education to meet entry employment require-
ments in these areas; and (2) to provide students with
a broad liberal education which includes study in the
general areas of communications, mathematics, the
natural sciences, the behavioral and social sciences,
and the fine arts.

In order to achieve the above objectives, the Di-
vision of Technical Sciences is organized into two
departments which offer curricula leading to the
Bachelor of Science degree. The Department of Engi-
neering Technology offers programs in building con-
struction technology, electronics technology, industrial
arts education, mechanical technology and trade and
industrial education, and the Department of Home
Economics affords opportunity for students to major
in foods and nutrition and institutional management,
and textiles and clothing.

Individuals interested in careers in the technical
sciences should be well grounded in the applied
sciences. Such high school subjects as physics, algebra,
plane geometry, trigonometry and industrial shop are
very desirable for persons planning to pursue engi-
neering technology curricula, and chemistry and home-
making are essential for those interested in technical
home economics.

Students entering the home economics program get

actual experiences by working in close relation with

their instructors.

developments in technology at technical science fair.

DIVISION OF HOME STUDY

E. K. WILLIAMS, Ed.D., Director

The Division of Home Study encompasses instructional programs in Business Administration, Economics,
education, English, Geography, Government, History, Humanities, Mathematics, Psychology, Social Science,
ind Sociology. These courses are offered for those persons who are interested in furthering their education,
)ut are unable to do so in residence.

The Home Study Department is authorized to operate the following programs:

1. College Correspondence Study

2. Extension Classes

There are students enrolled in these courses living in all parts of Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and
Uabama; and we have students registered from New York, New Jersey, Washington, D. C.

The Home Study Department is directed toward two objectives: The first is to provide a service for
hose persons who cannot undertake residence instruction, and the second is to provide an enriching program
or those who do not require residence instruction for personal growth and enrichment.

Extension classes are provided upon sufficient demand.

For information concerning credit, fees, examinations, textbooks, etc., you may write to: The Division of
lome Study, Savannah State College, Savannah, Georgia.

Students are given adequate time and instructions in preparing for examinations.

President' s Desk

Dear Fellow Alumni:

As we near the end of another year it is altogethej
fitting and proper that we pause and review our activitie:
in order to determine whether we have made progres
toward our goals as we had hoped or need to speed u
our actions. How has it been with you?

( 1 ) Have you sent in your Chapter roster and include
the address, or your own name and address?

(2) Have you completed and mailed the questionnaire
which required so much time and postage to gj
out to you?

(3) What about your Chapter meetings and activities
Your dues? Your scholarship donations?

(4) Have you given your cooperation for the develoi
ment of the kind of Chapter and Alumni Associ
tion you would be proud to claim as yours?

If you cannot answer yes to the above questions yc
have allowed things to pile up on you. Please take tin
to catch up. We need every Alumnus and every Chapte
To be a "Has Been" is an improper title for any Alumni
of Savannah State. There is a new Chapter!! It is tl
Chicago Chapter. Isn't that wonderful? Can't give yc
details yet, but Congratulations and Best Wishes to thei
and a great big welcome from us all.

I regret that all of our Alumni could not attend tl
dedication of the six new buildings. There were many o
faces and friends to be seen from far and near. It w,
thrilling to witness, one seemed to hear a small voice with
saying "Savannah State College has been remembered
last," and you wanted to play in the water to be sure \
had a real swimming pool. For all of this we should
very proud and grateful. We should also be more dete
mined to do our share for this is a great challenge to tl
Alumni of Savannah State College. Let us not forget o
responsibility to our Alma Mater at this time when
strong Alumni group is needed. We have made progres
but not enough. We have organized in three districts ai
last year were able to provide enough funds to assist
matching all funds allotted by the NDEA Scholarship Fun
and to take advantage of Youth Corps Work Prograi
However, there is still much assistance needed for t
Grant-in-Aid Program. With Armstrong State College al
in Savannah, Savannah State College needs all of o
support, now more than ever, moral and financial.

The Classes of 6's will be eligible for reunions th
June. The Class of 1936 is planning a reunion and wou
like to hear from all members. Address mail to Mr. Prin
Mitchell, Alumni Secretary, Savannah State College, Sava
nah, Georgia. Please write immediately.

An anonymous donor (not an alumnus) has offered

New Placement Service Available

To Alumni

According to N. R. Freeman, Placement Director, Sa-
tnnah State College, in cooperation with College Placement
Duncil, Inc., is making a new service available to SSC
Lumni. The purpose of this new service, known as the
raduate Resume Accumulation and Distribution (GRAD)
stem, is to make the qualifications of applicants known

thousands of prospective employers through the use of
ectronic data processing.

An alumnus interested in finding new employment com-
unicates directly with the Savannah State College Place-
ent Office. If the Placement Officer feels that the GRAD
ogram will be of value to the individual in question, the
ndidate is given an instruction sheet and a four-page
sume form. The alumnus has the resume completed and
:atly typed since it will be photo-copied in its original
rm for distribution and sends it to the College Placement
auncil, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, with a $10.00 service
e. At the data center of the Council, each resume for-
arded by an alumnus is analyzed both in terms of present
• most recent employment and of previous experience,
wenty-one key factors are extracted from the information
id entered into an electronic file. The original resume

microfilmed to be retrieved almost immediately upon
ceipt of an employer's request.

In many respects similar to the electronic systems which
lable airline ticket offices to determine the availability of
ight reservations, the GRAD system permits a search to
: conducted in seconds. In a typical use, an employer
ay inquire for applicants on the basis of six or eight
lectors — all in English since the system does not require
)des. Hardly has his question been completed on the
letype when the machine reports that 83 alumni whose
lalifiers are in the system meet his specifications. The
quiry is restated with more stringent requirements and
ie number of qualifying applicants now drops to 17. If
e employer is satisfied, an order is then typed to send
ssumes on the chosen candidates.

The use of the GRAD system is not available to just
lyone. Since its designers were aware that misuse of the
stem for "looking-around" or job-hopping would detract
om its value to employers, Placement Directors must

endorse each resume and attest to the fact that the applicant
has received a four-year degree or higher. The resume
remains in the active file for six months. If the alumnus
has received a job while a resident in the file he may not
return to the GRAD system for a full year. Those deleted
from the file at the end of six months are advised as to
the number of times their resumes were referred. In in-
stances where alumni have been residents in the electronic
file for six months and have attracted no offers, it is rec-
ommended that they communicate with their Placement
Officer for suggestions as to the shortcomings which may
be affecting their candidacy.

Special provisions have been programmed into the
GRAD system whereby the applicant's current employer is
blocked electronically from receiving resumes. Employers
may make their electronic search of selector factors in terms
of state of residence but not of city. Thus, the geographical
selector does not reveal the present employer accidentally
when the applicant is a resident of a "one-industry" town.
Further confidentiality is provided by maintaining only in
the College Placement Council data center file the names
and addresses of alumni applicants and the identity and
addresses of participating employers. In practice, each
resume will be studied first to extract the most inclusive job
descriptor. It will then be further assessed to determine 21
additional selector elements. Major items among these in-
clude: state of residence, marital status, major fields studied
in college and type of degree received, class rank, present
and required salary, area of job interests, geographic pref-
erence, language proficiency, and several others of lesser
importance. Any combination of these may be used by the
employer in making his search.

Some of the areas of study being considered are con-
centrations of employer interest in terms of specific quali-
fications, supply and demand by various classifications,
salary trends, etc. Thus, the project not only places oppor-
tunities of an unparalleled scope before the alumnus but
promises to make his Placement Office a prime information
center for real manpower statistics. Perhaps equally impor-
tant, the college will have available and sensitive to its own
needs a manpower tool made possible by the latest develop-
ments in electronic data processing.

The Office of Economic Opportunity
approved a $144,252 grant to Savannah
State College for use in Project Upward
Bound. The purpose of the program is
to encourage students to continue their
education on the college level.

Upward Bound, planned for June 20-
August 12. will involve 100 boys and
girls who are residents of Chatham
County; have completed the tenth and
eleventh grades; and meet the criteria
for admission according to the guide-
lines established by the Office of Eco-
nomic Opportunity.

During the period between Septem-
ber 1 7.^1966, and May 27, 1967 (33
Saturdays) curricular and co-curricular
experiences will be provided for the
100 students.

Throughout the year students will re-
ceive intensive instruction in com-
munication skills ( reading, writing,
speaking, and listening), mathematics,
and in Great Issues. During the sum-
mer session one and a half hours will
be allotted daily on a five-day weekly
basis in each section of communication
skills and mathematics. One hour daily
will be given to classroom guidance and
instruction on a three - times - a - week
basis for "Great Issues" instruction,
although there will be additional in-
formal "get-togethers" with students.
There will be approximately twelve
students for every teacher in classroom
activities. Classroom instruction will be
confined to the morning hours and it
will be largely initiated out of the ex-
periences of the students.

During the afternoons of the sum-
mer session co-curricular experiences in
music, art. drama, and dance will be
provided along with such recreational
activities as swimming, tennis, volley
ball, and badminton. These will not be
recmired, but students will be en-
couraged to participate in some of the
activities. Various hobby groups will be
promoted by the special events director
with the assistance of tutor-counsellors.
Principally in the evening hours of the
summer session, students who desire
special tutorial assistance will be aided
by dormitory counsellors.

Various cultural experiences and field

trips will be provided for the partici-
pants throughout the school year. It is
expected that the students will attend
various cultural events which are spon-
sored on the campus.

fessor of History, Savannah State Col-
lege, will direct the program. Mr. Mc-
Afee has been associated with Savannah
State College for the past three years.

tional Exposition in 1947, he was com-
missioned to write the LIBERETTO

her so highly. She is a teacher of the

did "island hopping" around the Carib-
bean. She says it was quite rewarding

relative to the ways of life in many
places. The experiences gained from her
travels have been invaluable to her in
her classroom situations.

in 1930, she was transferred there where
she taught fifth, sixth, and seventh
grades at various times during her
twenty-five years' stay there. She was
also selected as Florance Street School's

SAVANNAH CHAPTER SSC ALUMNI SALUTES MISS LULA SMITH

By Leanna T. Wilcox and Ruby King

Flowers are the gift of nature,
Some are white, some are yellow,

and some are red;
We would rather have one while

we are living,
Than one hundred when we are

dead.

Thus the Savannah Chapter felt such
high esteem for Miss Smith and the
wonderful services rendered by her, that
a gift tree was presented to her at her
home on April 9, 1966.

Miss Smith was among the first grad-
uates of Savannah State College, which
she cherished dearly.

Her work with the Alumni has been
most outstanding. She has at all times
been an asset to the organization. The
service that she has rendered in the of-
fice as treasurer has been unexcelled.
In 1956, she was the honoree of "This
Is Your Life" at which time she received
a plaque and a book entitled "This Is
Your Life," which contained some of the
outstanding achievements of her life.

Her activities extended far beyond the
confines of her home, for in the schools,
churches, and civic organizations, Miss
Smith was found delving into the prob-
lems of the community. She was always
trying to bring sunshine into the lives
of others. As the poet, Sam Walter Foss,
says:

"But I turn not away from their
smiles nor their tears,

Both parts of an infinite plan;

Let me live in my house by the
side of the road,

And be a friend to man."

This was Miss Smith's daily motto.

A life full of service

Is hers to give

With Savannah State's Alumni

As long as she lives.

This tribute to Miss Smith
So touching, so kind
Is given to her
By our Saviour Divine.

The Savannah Chapter
Misses her smile,

And hopes for her recovery
In a very short while.

Miss Smith has been the Savannah
Chapter's treasurer for many years, but
due to her illness, she recently relin-
quished her duties.

Miss Lula Smith:
The Chapter needs more women

like you;
Women who are tried and true;
Women who will not shirk,
Women who will dare and work!

Public Relations Officer, Wilton C. Scott
Savannah State College, Savannah, Ga.

In behalf of the Savannah State Col
lege National Alumni Association may
I extend congratulations and sincere ap-
preciation to the Board of Regents for
these contemporary achievements you
have extended to Savannah State. While
in executive session today may I urge
you to give further consideration to the
materialistic needs of the college in or
der that its status and productivity as
well as the intrinsic qualifications of its
students will be commensurate with any
other four year institution in the Uni
versity System.
