It is axiomatic that change has
influenced the development of our
college. Significant architectural mile-
stones form the foundations with the
graceful gothic and majestic columns
which illuminates the aged maturity
of the campus.

Responding to the modern challenges
and the new dimensions demanding
new perspectives, the image of the cam-
pus has been renewed to structural steel
and glass. We build buildings which
will live as ageless memories of those
who traversed their halls and discover-
ed within them, new experiences toward
a greater maturity.

For a freshman, as for a senior, a new
year means new faces and friends . . .
for the commuter, the beginning of the
daily trek to the college by the sea . . . or
the arrival of the resident students by
plane, train, and car to a new atmos-
phere of study and excitement — a cam-
pus ever-changing because its students
are ever-changing in origin, experience,
and view point.

We learn, not through isolation, but through
association with others . . . the professor at the
classroom podium or the students in seminar,
sharing with others the fruits of individual
thought and research. Or in the laboratory,
learning through experimentation. The lecturer
in the sciences of the humanities, broadening
the horizon of our vision and understanding.
Shelf upon shelf of books, each one assuming a
new vitality and worth as fresh minds gather
new meanings from its words . . . things which
are renewed each year as new minds begin their
search for wisdom which comes with maturity.
We live in an extraordinary community of
teachers and students engaged in the threefold
task of discovery, training, and of preserving
through education the culture and the learning
of mankind.

While in pursuit of education, academic
studies are of primary importance on the Savan-
nah State College Campus. Special events and
activities are numerous.
Pictures on this page show various shots of
homecoming.
These activities and many more help make
Savannah State College the center of outstand-
ing attractions in the area.
11
Social life involving wholesome recreation is
encouraged and emphasized at the college by the sea . . .
The student union is one of the centers of student life.
Many social activities are presented during the student's
quest for knowledge . . . From the Freshman Class Mixer
during Orientation Week to the Junior-Senior Prom four
years later, a steady parade of new faces and acquaint-
ances join in a round of relief from the rigors of books and
more books. From the Cotton Ball in the fall or the Red
and White Ball at Valentine's to a Western Hop in the
Student Center, students find time to add these to their
social schedule.
The Men's Festival with its athletic events, talent
shows, and dances . . . The Mardi Gras on a winter week-
end, or the Senior Week with the fond good-byes are
cherised memories that enrich our social development.

Savannah State's athletic events contribute a
unifying spirit to the college. The Tiger's spirit
and determination to excel are passwords for
those engaged in competitive sports. The thrill
of the crowd cheering the team on to victory or
defeat . . . the cheerleaders exhibiting seemingly
impossible acrobatic feats . . . the precision of
the marching Tiger's. The sacred and' reverent
strains of" We Hail the SSC" are some segments
of the intangibles that enrich our memories of
SSC.

LEADING SSC TO GREATNESS
President Howard Jordon Jr. — the name and the man are both symbols of
dynamic leadership to all Savannah State College.
Those who know him personally can attest to the fact that here is a man
dedicated to the task of developing and enriching the future of Savannah State
College. Under his administration the Board of Regents has allocated approxi-
mately $1,700,000 for modern buildings and facilities.
The faculty has grown considerably and great stress has been placed upon the
strengthening of the academic program, as is evident, by the addition of top flight
instructors to the faculty.
Dr. Jordon's accomplishments in leading Savannah State College to greatness
are numerous. But none are greater than that of winning for himself a warm,
respected place in the heart of Savannahians for his role in leading Savannah
State to greater heights.

DEDICATION
There is always a person who has the character that
appeals to all students. Dr. Joan Gordon is one of these
persons . . . with forte divided among- many talents.
Her spirit and force embraces a heart so big" that it can
harbor the problems of unknowing- freshmen, bewildered
sophomores, confident juniors, and matured seniors.
She has, during her thirty-six years at SSC guided
and helped to mold many raw and indifferent youths into
useful and knowledgeable citizens.
She is one whose girlish grin, warm friendship,
understanding, and respect has captivated us to love her.
In profound gratitude for her service as an instructor,
poet, and cultural leader, we are honored to dedicate the
1965 Tiger to Dr. Joan Gordon.

Administration
President's Message
In the entire history of the College, no period has witnessed such favorable changes as those
that have occurred during- the last few years. The new spirit and mental vigor of the institution
have made it possible to imagine greater and more wonderful things in the days to come. Several
million dollars have been spent and will be spent toward the development of the physical plant.
New buildings, renbvation of old buildings, and removal of obsolescent buildings are giving the
College the setting and environment for better work and finer cooperative learning.
You, as a member of the student body, are contributing to the growth and expansion of the
institution through your endless quest for knowledge.
May the many pleasant memories contained in the "Tiger" serve as a record of your rich col-
lege experiences and as a fountainhead for your future successes.
Jordan, Jr.

<
Our faculty is not divinely inspired. They
realize that incompleteness is essential. If
they pretended that they knew all the answers
they would become bores and pedants. But
when they admit they only know some of the
answers, and that students must also engage
in the search for truth, they become scholars
and friends.
If teachers gave all the answers many needed and enjoyable
hours in the library or science laboratory would not become a part of
our college experience. For the search for truth sometimes centers in
a laboratory where many hours of work may contribute only one
minute piece of information. Sometimes it centers in a library where
books must be scanned and persued and all the scholarly writing
studied for new insights. But whatever the source and whatever the
knowledge, it passes from teacher to student and from this gener-
ation to the next.
An attempt to praise the faculty as a group
is possible but also quite unrealistic. To
praise them as individuals is impossible for
us (the members of our limited staff do not
know all the faculty members:) but it is the
only valid way. If each reader would praise
or commend the instructors and administra-
tors they know, our task here is accomplished.

The personality of a college depends upon those
who attend, teach, and staff that college. At Savannah
State the student body and its staff is a kaleidoscope of
personalities from many of the fifty united states, and
other countries of the world.
Students who make up the Savannah State com-
munity bring to their new home their desires, goals,
unique personalities, joys and sorrows. They are mixed, tempered, and somewhat
reshaped by the school's atmosphere. Students mature as they live more and varied
experiences and so does the college. Thus, the college and its students change and
grow together and give to each what is more important — life and a definite person-
ality that is unique.
For some, graduation is that long awaited moment
that climaxes college life after four years of rewarding
experiences and study. To some, graduation is a wel-
come relief and the end of an enjoyable experience —
learning. To others, the more scholarly, it means an
opportunity to go out into the world and commence
learning. To all, commencement is a beginning and an
ending . . . the ending of college days and the begin-
ning of the initial steps toward the grand scheme of
things.

College isn't all studying and hard work.
Sometime, not too often though, students
find time for after-class activities. Social
events require most extra-curricular atten-
tion! Sorority and fraternity term parties, the big- all-college dances, and fun
at the beach are the main concern of social-minded SSC student. Besides the
planned entertainments, there are parties and bull sessions, long hours spent
over coffee in the student center, and informal get-togethers for card games,
tennis and parties. State Students are gre-
garious people, and the friendly campus
spirit is reflected in the interchanges of
"Hi" and "How are you?" that take place as
students meet. All these activities comprise
the friendliness for which SSC is famous.

If the most important endeavor in which
any student body participates is academic
work and study, then a close second must be
the social life and extra-curricular activities
in which the student participates.
Savannah State is fully aware that in order to have a well rounded academic
program, there must be an adequate amount of outlets to utilize the information
and experiences gained in the classroom and through individual study. The
various organizations of Savannah State College permit students to utilize in-
herent talents, develop new skills, and serve humanity. During the 1964-65
school term there were forty-five campus organizations in which students
could serve and work, or be rewarded for the college and the community.
In many campus organizations and activi-
ties, the student must apply what he has
learned in the classroom. But, not all activi-
ties fit into this category. Many exist partly
for relaxation. The following pages show, in
part, how Savannah State College students
spend their time relaxing working and uti-
lizing their skills. By participating in the.
various activities and organizations of the
school, life long friendships are established.

In 1911, three young1 men, Edgar A. Love, Oscar J. Cooper, and
Frank Coleman, conceived the idea of founding a Negro:National Col-
lege Fraternity. The young men discussed the matter many times,
and as a result concluded that they should have some guidance.
They contacted Professor Just and he consented at once, having a
keen appreciation for the problems of youth.
On November 17. 1911, the Omega Psi Phi was born. The four
Cardinal principles agreed upon were SCHOLARSHIP, MANHOOD.
PERSEVERANCE, AND UPLIFT.
Alpha Gamma Chapter was established in 1949. Ever since that
time the members have strived to uphold the standards set by the
predecessors.
Among the many activities outstanding of the Chapter are the
Annual Achievement Week Program, the Christmas Seals Campaign,
and tutoring services for the Lampodas Club. The Chapter also
sponsored social activities which include smokers, rush parties,
dances and their annual Mardi Gras.
On October 28, 1914, the laying of the foundation was formally
completed when the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity was incorporated by
the United States Congress.
From that one undergraduate chapter (Alpha Chapter) the Omega
Psi Phi Fraternity has a roster of 270 chapters. From a membership
of three in 1911, Omega has a membership of more than 25,000.
Every state in the Union has some sons of Omega to carry her
ideas. There are Omera Men abroad also.

Delta Sigma Theta is a national Greek
letter organization, having 275 chapters
located in 37 states, including Alaska,
and also in the Republics of Haiti and
Liberia.
Delta Sigma Theta was founded at How-
ard University in Washington, D.C. on
January 13, 1913, by a group of 22
undergraduate women who, in February
18, 1913, succeeded and secured a certi-
ficate of Incorporation for the infant
sorority.
The stated purpose of the founders
was to establish a society to promote
high cultural, intellectual, and moral
standards among its members, for its
own benefit and for that of the larger
society in which it existed.

Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated, was organized on
November 12, 1922, in Indianapolis, Indiana by Mary Lou Gardner
and six other school teachers. The sorority became an incorporated
National Collegiate Sorority on December 30, 1929, when a charter
was granted by Alpha Chapter at Butler University, Indianapolis,
Indiana.
At present there are 59 campus chapters-and 82 Alumni Chapters
-one of which is located at the University of Liberia, Monrouia.
Fifteen years and three months ago Soror Fannie P. Jenkins, the
Southeastern Regional Director, Julia Jones, Edna Ligon, Rose Lot-
son, Mattie Roberts and Christine Wright brought forth on this
campus a new sorority, conceived in education, and dedicated to
the proposition that all sisters are united as equal.
During this school term the sorority has been working diligently
on various activities on and off campus. The sorority is a member of
the Friends of the Library and the NAACP.
The sorority particularly stresses "finer womanhood, greater
service and greater progress."

More than fifty-five years ago at Cornell University, Ithaca,
New York, one of the most important meeting's in Negro history
was taking place. Seven valiant Negro students, drawn together
by their mutual feeling for the need of an organization which
would bind Negro students together, organized Alpha Phi Alpha
Fraternity, the first Negro Greek-Letter organization.
The park shown in the picture was built by the chapter and
dedicated to the two deceased chartered brothers, Toland J. Col-
lier and Elijah J. Lamarr on April 28, 1959, the tenth anniver-

On January 16, 1908, a young1 woman named Ethel Hedge-
man envisioned an idea that has now become the pride of many
college young- women. Ethel Hedgeman, a junior at Howard
University, loved her people and wanted to do something to
raise their standards. In her room in Minor Hall Ethel Hedge-
man, Lucy Slowe, Beulah Burke, Margaret Hagg, Marjorie Hill,
Marie Woolfold, Anna Brown, and Lavinia Norman met to draw
up plans for the organization. Lucy Stowe was elected Basileus.
Prom so small a nucleus Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority has
grown to more than 1,011 graduate chapters and 110 under-
graduate chapters throughout the United States and Liberia.

"In our hearts we build a shrine for thee . . .
We hail the queens of S.S.C. . . ."
Grace, charm, talent, personality, and beauty are the qualifications of a suc-
cessful queen as well as a successful human being'. Here at Savannah State
College, we have been blessed with a multitude of lovely young1 ladies with the
foregoing requirements for being our queens. At all times there is a queen for
every organization on campus, but when we begin to look around at the lovely
ladies who were by-passed because of campus traditions, we feel that there is a
dire need for at least two queens to represent each organization.
The feature section of the yearbook is
devoted entirely to our charming queens. We
will always remember their serenity during
the homecoming festivities, Greek balls,
coronation balls, and other social affairs at
dear S.S.C.

Then an expectant hush creeps over it. Strong
bodies with alert minds appear.
The game was the climax of homecoming activities. With colorful pre-game
ceremonies and half-time shows lacking nothing short of perfection, the old
grads were extremely pleased with their Alma Mater.

The
1965
Tiger Is
Finished
James P. Neal, Editor-in-Chief
A yearbook, like history is not made of one event or by one per-
son; rather it is a combination of efforts and a compilation of activi-
ties. People are also necessary if the yearbook is to be recorded.
Perhaps it is not too pretentious to say that a yearbook seeks to
capture the spirits of a particular group of people at a particular
time in a particular place. It tries to discover the identities which
belong' to that group because of the convergence in time and space
of so many individuals. The 1 965 Tiger faced this with trepidation.
Without you the students and faculty of Savannah State, the
Tiger would not have anything to tell. For your help, thank you!
To the members of the Tiger's Staff, I sincerely thank you for your
time and your efforts. Special thanks to James Robert Smith and
Homer Day, Associate Editors, Robert Joiner, layout and copy edi-
tor, and Patricia Neely, Freshman Editor. For the staff this year-
book holds special memories. In time of irritating complacency,
flaming disagreement, they have contributed their efforts. Even in
the threatening shadow of an impending deadline the editing of the
yearbook remaineda joy because of the people with whom it was done.
I would not repent this year as editor, for it will go down in my
college career as a year filled with special learning into the essence
of Savannah State College.
