The Intercolligate Dramatic Assoc iation Conference was attended Oct ober 9, 1954, by three students re presenting Elizabeth City State Tea chers College. Celestine Wade, Helen Hargrave, and Joseph Purvis. Mr. and Mrs. Bagley were there as faculty representatives. The Conference began with greetings from the president of the I.D.A., Dr. F. S. Belcher, Director of Drama at W. Va. Institute. Minutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary and executive secretary gave her report in which she stated the de sire to have Elizabeth City State Tea chers College become a member of the I. D. A. Following were the re ports of the committees. Student par ticipation was encouraged. Represent atives from Colleges throughout West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina were present and out lined plans which their Players Guilds had drawn up for this year. Next on the agenda was the lunch eon, which was very impressive. Music furnished in the background made the meal a pleasant one. The guest speaker at the luncheon was Dr. Samuel Seldon, director of the Lost Colony and head of the Department of Drama at the University of North Carolina. He spoke on the topic “Why People Go To The Theater.” After the luncheon discussions on the Spring Festival were held. The main topic of conversation was wheth er or not there should be professional actors or amateur actors presenting plays for the Festival. Dinner was served at A. & T. Col lege and from there we attended a Cider Sip held in the faculty lounge of the Student Union Building at Ben nett College. Our gracious hostesses were members of the Bennett College players. Immediately following the Ci der Sip, Fayetteville State College presented two interesting one - act plays. The conference was enjoyed by all representati\'es. —Helen Hargraves Pirates Slaughter Morris town 80-0, Sets Record Let’s Accept The Challenge The living conditions of an unseg regated world will be confronting the future graduates of this and other in stitutions. We will be facing a world of conflicting opinions, idealogies and general confusion. In order to accept the challenge of the modern world, of course, we must prepare. There is no better place to equip ourselves with the necessary tools than in college. We talk about knowledge, insights, attitudes and skills and, above all, de mocracy. If we cannot solve our pro blems, of what good are they? Re gardless of the road one chooses or the trend of thought one follows, it will all lead to an end which either ele vates or leaves him in depths of con fusion. Education should be a means to an end which will put one on an equal plane with that of any other man who has a place in the future. Can the students now hope for a place in the future? Can our inevitable faith in man-kind and ourselves pre pare us for our ultimate destiny? Is education so easy and money so free as to be passed off in foolishness? Can we accept the challenge? Yes, but only through hard work, fair play, in- itative and strong determination can we do this. Let us prepare today for tomorrow. To the seniors look in retrospect; to the juniors, plan now; to the soph- mores, strive hard; to the freshmen, start anew. Let’s Accept The Challenge. Head Coach—Bob White Line Coach—Tom Caldwell Asst. Coach—Bobby Vaughan ^lanager—James Williams Colors—Blue and White Nickname—Pirates Statisticians—Rufus Underwood and James Whitaker Scoring high in every quarter, the mighty Pirates slaughtered the “Black Knights” of Morristown, Tenn. 80-0 before a surprised crowd. Last season as you might recall, the “Knights tied the “Pirates” in a 13-13 deadlock. That was a mistake on our part last year, and with this in mind, the “Pirates” sought not to make mistakes this time. The overall perfonnance of the “Pirates” was more than satisfactory to the coaches. “Well done” said Coach White, “You have performed brilliantly.” Each player in uniform saw action and performed equally as well as the starting lineup. Thus, with the motto: “All for one and one for all”, the Pirates have been unconquerable as of October 2. —Godfrey The melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year. —Bryant MIGHTY PIRATES OUTLAST ST. AUGUSTINE’S 14-7 “Do or Die” Pirates overpowered the “Falcons” of St. Augustine’s by a score of 14-7. During the 1st half many penalties were stepped off against the “Pirates” which were costly and which enabled the “Falcons” to take the lead at the end of the half 7-0. The “Pirates” not to be outdone, came from behind in the second half to score two touchdowns and win the game. To set up the first tally, God frey tossed a pass to Greer who was stopped on about the “Falcons five- yard line. Paul “Kit” Martin, powerful halfback, drove from the five into the end zone for the score, then com ing back off tackle for the extra point. The game remaind tied until the last quarter when Robert Reed, shifty halfback, drove down to about the ten-yard line setting up another tally. Greer circled the end on the next play and went into the end zone standing up. Godfrey passed to Greer for the e.xtra point. Thus the “Pirates” went ahead 14-7 and in the final minutes of the game the “Falcons” trying to come back with long passes, but to no avail. The final gun ended the game as the “Pirates” were about to take charge of the ball. Thus marks the first time in at least three years that the “Pirates have beaten the “Falcons.” Said the coach after the game, “You have fought against all the odds and have come from behind to win, I am proud of all of you.” —Godfrey
