June, 1954 STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE NEWS LETTER Page Three “THE SPORTS ANGLE” By Yvonne D. Bland Your sports editor, Mazor Slade Jackson, bids farewell, and wishes you good luck athletically. Sports have improved around our campus as everyone can see. We have new games for indoor and outdoor play. On the inside, we find in the Gym aerial darts, badminton, table tennis, paddle tennis and shiiffle- board. On the outside we have archery and golf. You asked for these games; now you have them. Your editor begs you to play and play hard. As the saying Roes, “An all-around student makes the best teacher.” We can not forget our major out door game, which is softball. It has really been a success with the students and faculty members. From the Sport Angle, comes a wish that seniors may have the best of luck, and much success in whatever they do. Happy vacation to the student! See you next fall! !

The winning pitcher of the first game was Landon Miales of the Trotters who has done a tre mendous job with the Trotters as its skipper. The losing pitcher was John Miller who also pitched the Kids to the top brackets. Paul “Kit” Martin was the winning pitcher of the second game. He limit ed the Trotters to only three hits. This time Miales was on the receiv ing end. His team went down under a past but alert Whiz Kid nine. The final game will be held Mon day evening at .5:45. This final game will determine who will he champions for the '53 - ’54 year. We, We the sports editors, appre ciate the participation of the student body in the intramurals. Your presence Was a great help in carrying out the program. We hope that in the near future you (more of you) will be part of the program. —Godfrey AN OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE The recent historical decision of the Supreme Court to bar racial segrega tion in schools brings to all people a brighter and more prosperous out look for the future. What can we, as a race, do to prove worthy of this decision? Surely We can be intelligent citizens, strive to attain the highest goals, take ad- ■antage of the educational opi'or- tunities, and work cooperatively for tae Welfare of humanity. Often it is said that no one knows I Vhat the future will bring, but now ( ’e know that it will bring equal c.du- K-rttional opportunities for all.

The week began with the Deltas sponsoring the religious services on the campus. On Wednesday a cultural program was presented in the audi torium during chapel Jiour. On Friday, Soror Yolanda Chambers, Attorney, of Norfolk, Virginia, was guest speaker in the auditorium during chapel hour. She chose as a topic “What Do You Want Out of Life?” This inspiring message was a challenge to all stu dents to choose a vocation wisely and to their best advantage. Continuing the observance, the sorors of Delta Chi and Epsilon Beta Sigma chapters attended church sev- vices at Mt. Lebanon A.M.E. Zion Church on Sunday, May 16, and later in the afternoon gave a tea honoring :the high school seniors in this area. During the tea a donation was given Mrs. E. M. Spellman, Librarian of the Gale Street Memorial Library, to purchase additional books as a local project of the Sorority. “May Week” observance was inspir ing, and it is hoped that in coming years it will be equally as succesfull. We must prepare leaders for tomor row. The day when a little education was sufficient is long passed. But how can we have recjuired education if we have no one to perform the duties of aiding children into getting a learing? I am sure that it is the wish of no one to have our American society wrecked, torn, or ven destroy ed by the evil forces of ignorance. I am afraid, however, that it will hap pen if we do not influence our young people to become teachers and leaders. Let us begin today by forming com mittees of one to see that we have our future quota of good teachers for our youth of tomorrow, WITH THE FACULTY Rev. James F. Banks, Director of Religious Activities at State Teachers College, will dehver the annual bacca laureate sermon at P. W. Moore High School Sunday, May .31, at 8:00 p.m. Rev.

Democracy radiates from her; se curity is taken for granted; affection and friendship flourish within her walls. —Laura D. Bond
