Liungstones tlomecumuig Activities Charlotte Post's "Beauty Of The Year" Honored Special To The Post SALISBURY,-The founding and growth of Livingstone College typi fies the current attitude of many of its students today. Pretty Miss Alice Brannon, a junior Education major at the A.M.E. Zion school in Salis bury is an excellent example. Alice is a 1976 graduate of Myers Park High School here in Charlotte and is the daughter of Miss Jeanne Brannon and through her many accomplishments, befittingly wears the crown and title of "Miss Char lotte Po6t 1978." Recently honored during home coming festivities, she is featured in the 1978 Homecoming Souvenir pro gram and on the cover and rode as a queen in the 60 unit homecoming parade through downtown Salis bury. Homecoming '78 was most signifi cant, because ninety-nine years ago a small band of Black ministers gathered in Concord, North Carolina , to establish an institution of higher learning for the training of Black students. Drawn together by a com passion to do something for them selves and of their own initiative before seeking help from elsewhere, the men who met in an A.M.E, Zion Church parsonage, brought all of their resources - courage, self-pride, determination, vision and committ ment to an ideal. Such was the beginning of Living stone College in 1879. The institution was moved to Salisbury in 1882 and was chartered as a four-year college in 1885. Livingstone has operated continuously ever since. As we look with enthusiasm and anticipation for our centennial cele bration, Homecoming '78 brought approximately 8,500 persons to the homecoming football game, which was climaxed with a 11-0 victory over visiting team, Shaw University from Raleigh. Having been a parti cipant in the first intercollegiate football game among Black colleges, Livingstone has a proud heritage in the Athletic arena. Bid die University, which is now John son C. Smith, won the first contest and a friendly rivalry developed between the two schools that has become more or less a permanent fixture among sports fans in North Carolina. "I chose Livingstone," Alice states, "because I thought a small college would be best for me to develop my individual talents and skills as well as becoming a better all around person. You have a chance to get to know your fellow students as well as developing a „1. 1-: —i-»i »-r »» ν» iviug Λ VWViViWIip 1T1UI UIC faculty and staff. They seem interes ted in you as a person and how your work is progressing and I like that feeling of concern." In a very stately, yet modest manner, Alice goes on to allude, "In finding myself at Livingstone, I began to realize what I want out of life and how to get it. I'm very proud to have chosen Livingstone to pursue my educational goals." As she stressed, "pride" is exemp lified by her active schedule of activities, which include, serving on the year book staff, cheerleading squad and modern dance group. Always friendly and willing to lend a helping hand, Alice's leadership and character is evident through her contributions to all facets of campus life. Coming from a close knit family, she has been joined at Livingstone by her sister Rosalind, a sophomore Social Welfare major and a flag girl in the Livingstone College Marching Band. Alice enjoys dancing, swimming, playing tennis and meeting new npnnlo Chû olcn WArlro nm4.fi·**» in the office of Public Relations where her radiant smile and bubbling personality makes her a most fitting person to help promote the positive aspects of aspiring Black women and Livingstone College. Upon graduation, Alice plans to continue her education on the grad uate level eventually hoping to teach first grade. With her present atti tude and determination, she should certainly be well on her way toward attaining those goals. JCSU Receives Kodak Grants Johnson C.
