and bring them to the next meet
ing. When the first artist unveil
ed his painting, there was a high
mountain, and below were hills
and valleys indicating that there
should be one ruler to dominate
the world. This was not accepted.
The second unveiled his and there
were rivers, valleys, and flowers;
everything was at peace and was
equal. This indicated that there
would be no ruler, and that every
one would live accordingly. This
was not accepted, for it was felt
that in order to have cooperation
there must be some kind of rul-
er.
When the third artist unveiled
his picture, said the speaker, there
was a high mountain upon which
an eagle had made a nest. A storm
was approaching. Instead of try
ing to fight, or to go on into the
storm, the eagle raised his wings
and let the force of the storm
cause him to rise high above it.
This picture was accepted. The
eagle had used the storm to rise
to the height he desired. “So can
we,” said Reverend Hargreaves,
“use the conflicts of today to bring
about peace.”
In closing he left with the audi
ence a thought taken from Phil-
lipians 4:6: “Be careful for noth
ing; but in everything by prayer
and supplication, wath thanksgiv
ing let your requests be made un
to God.” Instead of becoming an
gry and bitter toward life, he ad
vised, it is better to reason. Noth
ing is accomplished by worrying,
so, therefore, be anxious for noth
ing, but let it be known unto God
in prayer.

ANNUAL COLLEGE DAY

observe the teachers one would
have thought that our own
administrational staff was at
work. Such cooperation is indeed
indicative of school pride and
school loyalty.
At 7:30 the students and facul
ty assembled to witness the
crowning of “Miss S.T.C.” As the
processional strains of music were
played, the attendants and their

PERSONALITY
(Continued from page one)
Vaughn continued his study for
the M.S. in Physical Education
at Columbia University. He be
came so interested in basketball
while there that he got a chance
to observe, study, and work out
VTith Nat Holman’s Beavers at
CCNY. From all indications it was
there that he acquired his congen
ial ability as a coach.
In the summer of ’40 he was
sought, because of his outstanding
record as a scholar and athlete,
for employment at the State
Teachers College as assistant
coach of the football team and as
coach of the basketball team. Yes,
then the job started, the job that
resulted in Coach of the Year ii^
the E.I.A.C. and runner-up for
the championship of the E.I.A.C.
How was this possible with four
teen Freshmen and one Sopho
more? The likeable personality of
the coach, the extraordinary abil
ity to convey fundamentals of bas
ketball to his players, and the will
to do—This is the answer.
There are no limits to which our
basketball team can travel with
such an outstanding person lead

Coach Vaughn, the members of
the faculty and student body salute
you and may you with the help
of God strive on to higher heights.

Class. The tributes of “dignity,”
“poise” and “personality” togeth
er with “scholarship” were most
certainly words which expressed
the feelings of the entire student
body.
The Disasterotts Voyage of the Good Ship **Miss Tillie*^
On February 21, 1950, the good
ship “Miss Tillie” dropped anchor
in Fayetteville. This was our first
port in what turned out to be a
disastrous cruise. After a hard
fought battle the Pirates gave
ground to the Broncos of Fayette
ville to the tune of ‘71’ to ‘40.’
The high scorers for the Broncos
were Rogers vwth ‘13;’ Perkins,
Way and Costen with ‘9’ each. For
the Pirates it was “Huskie” and
Henry” with ‘16’ each followed
by Bynum with ‘5.’
The morning of February 22,
'ourd the good ship “Miss Tilhe”
enroute to Salisbury, N. C., the
home port of the Livingstone
"'^c’.rs. That night the Pirates were
defeated ‘77’ to ‘74,’ in the near-
^ t thing to a football game since
■’a season ended. The gunners
' 'or Livingstone were Hobson with
23,’ Massey ‘13’ and Lynch ‘12.’
'"or the Pirates it was “Huskie”
with ‘29,’ Henry ‘14,’ Atlas ‘12’
and Bynum ‘11.’
February 23, found the Pirates
in a rendezvous at Winston-Salem,
where the Pirates saw the Yellow
Jackets of West Virginia sting the
fighting Rams of Winston-Salem.
February 24, the good ship
“Miss Tillie” with Reverend Un
derwood at the wheel, headed for
Morristown, Tennessee, the home-
port of the “Red Knights.”
February 25, the Pirates after
a day on the high seas, (or hills
of N.C. and Tenn.) tangled with
the Red Knights and were defeat
ed for the third consecutive time.
This time the score was ‘61’ to
‘45.’ For the Red Knights it was
Wilson with ‘13’ and Mobley with
‘10.’ For the Pirates it was Henry
writh ‘20’ and Huskie with ‘17.’
This was the last engagement of
a long and disastrous cruise.
February 26, we raised anchor
and headed for the home port.
Reverend Underwood who had
brought us over the Blue Ridge
and Great Smoky Mountains,
through rain and snow, pulled into
the port of Bristol, which is divid
ed by Tennessee and Virginia. We
made it over into Bristol, Virginia,
where we planned to take on sup
plies and be on our way. When
we were ready to shove off, “Miss
Tillie” only coughed, and that was
all. The “Great Smokies” had
claimed another victim.
After a short lay over and a
call to headquarters, Adms. Wil
liams and Vaughn and crew aban
doned “Miss Tillie,” who had
served us well. Then we began the
last lap of our journey home
aboard a new ship.
Early in the a.m. of February
27, the V.S.S. Flexible, Reverend
Underwood at the wheel, pulled
into Elizabeth City, the Pirates’
home port.
