Shirley, the only Black male

Opera, met informally wi t h students 'an d offered encourage
ment to talented young singers
to enter the wo r 1 d of the opera.
Shirley related some of the
experiences w h ich culminated
in his decision to seriously
Consider becoming an opera
singer. He recalled his early
days in Detroit (Motown), his
hometown, emphasizing that if
a Black m anirom the city wh i c H
nurtured such artists as Milt
Japkson, Alvin Jones, the Su
prem es and many others could
have a successful care er in
opera so cggld other Black
A m ericans.,.
He added that he was com
pletely awa r e that in most in
stan ce s an appreciation and
taste for opera w ould have to be
developed. But, he w as sure
that the acquisition of such an
appreciation would be w o rth the
effort expended.
He recalled the inspiration
of a form er Black opera sing
er in Washington, D. C., who
encouraged him to aspire for a
te rio u s career in voice. P rio r
to this encouragement, Shirley
had decided oh a teaching car
eer. He felt that he w o u ld like
to lend much the same so rt of
guidance to other young aspir
ants.
Following the informal dis
cussion, Mr. Shirley listened to
solos by music students Sandra

Mr. Shirley climaxed the

Melvin Todd Guest Speaker At
Langston Assembly Program
Melvin R. Todd, Principal
of the Northeast High School,
wa s guest speaker for the Uni
versity* s first Assembly Pro
gram of the Spring Semester.
Accompanying Mr. Todd to
Langston
w ere the Vikings
Singers of Northeast under the
direction of Mrs. CaroleHardiman. These superbly talented
singers captivated the audience
with their musical artistry. The
Vikings Sextet sang “ Some
w h ere” and the group sang“ A
Change is Gonna Come” and
“ The Declaration of Indepen
dence” . Miss Patricia Brown’ s
exquisite and enchanting renditivn of “ What Are You Do
ing the Rest of Your Life” in
troduced Mr. Todd’s subject
wh i ch he posed to the Langston
students, “ What are YOU do
ing th6 rest of your life?”
Mr. Todd told the students
that now wa s the time to make
decisions which would affect
what they would do the rest
of their lives. He stated that
they would hear many voices
but whether they woy.ld change
what they felt to be wrong with
the “ system” or overhaul it
completely would be a decision
that only they should make.
He added that each student
should do as much as he
wo u Id during his college career
and admonished them not to lay
games with their future. He
asked them to decide where
they w ere going and how they
w ere going to reach desired
goals. He further questioned
MELVIN TODD
them as to what was their par
ticular “ bag” . He asked, “ Is
it to alleviate suffering? Is it
to cry about the way ‘Charlie’
has or is treating Black peo
ple? Is it to be so mesmerized
w ith hate that all your efforts
are spent listening to the
voices of revolution?” He add
ed, however, that there w ere
no careers available in the
area of revolution.
He asked them to do some
independent thinking about what
they would do with the rest of
their lives.
Todd, a 1954 graduate of Lang
ston , is a native of Oklahoma
City. He has a master’s degree
from the University of Oklahoma
and recently completed course
work for the doctor’s degree in
secondary education and adminis
tration at OU.
He has served as counselor at
Douglass High School; assistant
principal, Kennedy JUoioiy High
School and assistant principal of
Northeast High School. He is a
member of the state and national
Associations of Schoof Princi
pals, Phi Delta Kappa Fraternity,
Alph Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.,
Northeast Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce, and National
Education Association.
Todd has received Langston’s
highest honor, “The Distinguished Alumnus Award”.

The future is something that lies
ahead,
It is something that the living mostly
dreads.
It does not have a mouth, therefore,
it has nothing to say,
Slowly* but surely it makes its way,
And the living isn’t thinking of
living another day.
They are fighting, rioting, and
exploring the outer space,
each other
