..Our Beauty of th<· week is
the attractive Miss Angela
Sullivan. She is the daughter
ml Mr. and Mrs. Walter S.
Sullivan of "UK (iayuood l>r.

Secretary-Treasurer of the
Junior Class Council, (ieneral
Member of the Student Coun
..Along with all of her school
activities our Beauty still
finds time to enjov her favor
ite hobby. mhich is writing
poetry. "Writing poetry gives
me a chance to really exprtjss
my true feelings, especially
when I find it hard to say the
things I really want to say."
■toted Mi** KuUiian.
..Angela also likes to read
poetry. "It gives me a chance
to give my own interpretation
of what the poet or poetess is
trying to say." Angela's favor
it·· poetess is Nikki Giovanni.
"I find Miss Giovanni's poetry
appealing. It's easy to relate
the true meaning of the poem.
Her poetry identifies with
Klacks in general."
.Mise Sullivan is very proud
of a poem she ^has wrftten
entitled "Black I.ike Me." The
inspiration for the poem that
has brought her many praises
came from a hook of the same
title by John Howard Griffin.
—"AlUw cumpletini.the book I
decided to see if I could ex
press what I felt through
writing. I -came up with a
poem and decided to give it
the same title as the book. I
have received many praises
from my poem, and this is an
inspiration to me to keep
writing." smiled our Beauty.
I
After graduation Angela
plans to gu to college and
I major in Willd psychology.
"My main interest at first will
be the Black child, but I don't
plan to limit m? work to just
him. So many parents are
rearing dope addicts,
prostitutes, criminals, and
genuises but are unaware of
this. The knowledge to under
stand a child when he is young
will give them some insight as
to how they will turn out. <
Angela and her family
attend Friendship Baptist
Church where Rev. Coleman
Kerry is the pastor. At the
church Angela works in the
nursery.
- ..Jimmy, the basketball star.
Is the young man that has
captured the heart of our
Beauty. Angela describes him
as sweet and intelligent.
