Page Four STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE NEWS LETTER December, 1951 Intra-Mural Basketball Program For Men Underway Soon IMAGINATION CHRISTMAS PRAYER BASKETBALL SQUAD Coached by the Dean of Men, Er nest W. Cherry, the Junior Varsity Team and the intra-mural team will be under way soon. The J.V.’s will play high schools and independent fives. The intra-mural teams will be running for honors to be bestowed at the end of the season. Clubs, organi zations, and the faculty will feature teams that will be good, comical and indifferent, etc. The ultimate objec tive is not in the game itself, but to provide wholesome fun for all. Many nights the varsity will be away, and if your studies will allow, see these teams battle from small scores to large scores. HATTIE ELEANORE GRAY This columnist interviewed Miss Hattie E. Gray, a sophomore of State Teachers College and a native of Nor folk, Virginia, who joined the College Family in March of last year. She is a lyric soprano, whose ambi tion is to become a concert singer. She has learned that nerve, determi nation, a certain feeling for showman ship — in addition to musical ability that is far above average—are abso lutely necessary for success on the oncert stage. Therefore, as she con tinues to study, she keeps those things in mind. Miss Cray often appears as soloist of the college choir on special pro- j grams. When asked how she appears so calm .and relaxed apuii the stage, I she replied, “I simply feel that the menibf;rs of the audience are my friends whom I see everyday.” She has, since the age of nine, tak en pianfl- lessons under Professor W. Ej Patterson. She has also received voice instruction from Mr. Patterson and. Madam M. P. Owens of Norfolk, Virginia. At present, she isstudying under the chairman of the music de- parlmcnt, and director of our college eho.r, Miss Evelyn A. Johnson. It is Miss Cray’s sincere hope to some day become a concert singer. —Clvtie Smith Mr. “W” screams because he thinks he has seen a ghost. What do you suppose caused him to scream? Was it that he actually saw a ghost or was it his mind that led him to this terrify ing moment? It was imagination. You are right! Let us see what imagination is. Imagination is as Webster states, the formation of mental images of objects not present to the senses”. It is also a conception of some event, scheme, f)lot or project, especially of evil. Now let us trs- to show more of these points. Here is a person who is walking i But down a dark street with nothing on j his mind. Suddenly he, Mr. “X”, be comes spellbound because he thinks | he feels a thump on his head. He j stops and says, I could have sworn: ■:omeone plucked me on the head”, j M^as that imagination? Of course it was. The only pluck that Mr. “X”' received was one to put that blank mind on the go. He continues to O God, give us real “Peace on Earth" once more.

If he i hears a leaf shake on a tree, he jumps becau-;e he thinks a leopard is up the tree. Believe me, there are not even' any leopards in the region. Take a^ rough guess and see if you can find' the cause of such an event.

He is standing on the shore of I Somebody’s Ocean thinking. She walks I up and slips her arm through his arm, Mr, “Y” .spins around like a spinning top. Then he will probably need information. If you say this is imagination, I have nothing to say against it. Well, that is over at last, and here I am again; but wait — what was that? I am sure Mr. “W” is stringing ' along with his ghost and Mr. “X” is training his leopard. Maybe that was sonrjone else. No, .Mr. “Y” and Miss Z ’ are searching for a home. But what strucli me on the shoul der? Well, I suppose it was time remind ing me of the closing hour. Was that imagination?
