New Year greetings from The Campus Beat staff
In a warm Holiday note the Campus Beat team looks back on 1956 and ahead to 1957, recounting Miami visits with Central State students Leona Palacios and Barbara McClinton, and noting friends from FAMU, Knoxville, Fisk, and Clark College enjoying vacation. The piece mentions future Hampton attendance and finds joy in Christmas gatherings and college connections.
