Page Four STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE NEWS LETTER I November, I95) GERMAN EDUCATORS ARE IMPRESSED BY OUR COLLEGE • MUSIC GROUPS PROGRESS Under the direction of Miss E. A. Johnson the choir began work imme diately following registration. It is composed of eighty-one voices with a large number of Freshmen participat ing. Already the repertoire for the year is being built, for no time must be lost if the goals of the year are to be accomplished. For the last two years it has been the custom of the choir at Christmas to present the “Messiah”, an oratorio by George F. Handel. The same pro gram is planned for this year. The Choir not only serves the col lege on many occasions when music is needed, but makes several tours during the school year. o The Women’s Glee Club has begun regular rehearsals under the direction of Mrs. E. L. Martin. Organized last year, the group served the college on many occasions. They are planning a very active schedule for this sea son. 0 In the planning stage are a male section of the Choir and a quartet. The latter group is being organized to strengthen the music section of the extra-class activities. —LOLA JOYNER FRESHMEN (Continued from page 1) what you do not know. Learn to ap ply, improve, and present this know ledge in such a way as to make others give you credit for being original. In these ways a person may learn to improve the likable qualities of his personalities and conceal from others a possible lesser nature. The student then opens to himself a highway of wisdom and faith. If characters, un refined, are turned to gold and silver, then Freshmen will find here at STC beauty, adventure and moments of high victory. —Dr. G. L. Davis COMMUNITY LEADERS (Continued from page 1) program by stressing the fact that, if any person succeeds in this life, he must possess three dynamic character istics—vision, honesty and persever- erance. Dr. E, L. Hoffler, former college physician, said that the college stu dent must work, pray and have faith in himself. “See that you walk not as foolish people-” concluded Dr. Hoff ler, “but as wise people.” Among the other speakers were: N. Elton Aydlett, mayor of Elizabeth City; W. P. McDowell, of the Cham ber of Commerce; Reverend Richard Horsley, Rector of St. Phillip’s Church; Fred Haney, editor of the Daily Advance; and Professor E. A. Anderson, principal of the P. W. Moore High School. Carroll Rodgers, president of the Senior Class, in a very scholarly man ner, responded to the speeches. —NINA C. PERRY Elizabeth City State Teachers Col lege was host to three German edu cators, representatives of the province of Ravaria recently. Typical Germans, the three were Franz Krapf, of Grossbardorf over Schweinfurt on the river Main, Hans Hartl. of Ravaria, and Herbert Rrock- er, of Westphalia. On a three months tour of the United State, the Ger mans, after having arrived in Wash ington two weeks ago, were spending the first two weeks in the statps at Eastern Carolina College. A part of this visit was to make the 'trip to Eilzabeth City State Teachers College. All three Germans, as members of administration and faculty in German teacher-training institutions were cu rious and relieved to learn that their distorted ideas of American Negro education was not at all like the Nazis taught but rather simulated their own pattern of higher le;jrning. Herren Krapf, Rartl, and Rrocker were met down town by Dean Wen dell P. Jones and Dr. George L, Da vis of State Teachers Colege and driven to the campus where they were met and joined during their stay by President Sidney D. Williams and other members of the college staff. As a speaking knowledge of the Ger man and English language on respec tive sides was not completely master ed, there was a great deal of enter tainment derived among the group from perhaps quaint but very good English on one side and odd Ameri can German on the other. The opinion of the Germans, as ex pressed to the college staff, was that they were very impressed with the number of modern buildings, complet ed, and under construction, on the campus. A tour of the college, begin ning in the library, took the visitors through the administration building. NEWS LETTER CURRENT EVENTS QUIZ Here are 10 questions on recent news.

Who is controversial Secretary the dining hall, student health center, the fine arts and physical education building, the science building, and Symera Hall, one of the college’s two W'omen’s dormitories. Girl students, residents at Symera Hall, impressed the Germans with the neat and home like appearance of their rooms and their courses of study. On the tour, conversation usually stemmed from the visitors’ particular interest in the curriculum pattern of State Teachers College. Quoting from Rrocker, a staff member reports that he said: “I am very impressed with the college and its magnificent build ings. To me the direction of intellec tual development and the mental ma turity of students are the most im portant things. That which enables the spirit is of the most value. The students to whom I spoke are very intelhgent.” Brocker was an instruc tor of p]iilosophy, indicating the nat ural course of his thoughts. Rartl was confident that the Naz interpretation of American city news papers was incorrect. He understood that they contained only comic strips, movies, sports, and similar unimpor-^ tant news, but nothing of international politics. After seeing the New York Times and the Raleigh News and Observer at the college, he retracted his opinion and was adequately apolo getic. It was reported at the college that in Germany teacher-training in stitutions made learning the piano a requirement for graduation. With an ease approaching the sim plicity of a modern American hit tune, all three Germans demonstrated, on a college piano, the music of Mozart Strauss, Bach and others. The onl> melancholy remark of the visitors was that while learning many interesting things about colored and white Amer ica to report in Germany, three month; in the states was too short. rice Tobin, (c) Dean Acheson. 9.
