As We Think Freshman Class News The first meeting of the Freshman class was held in Moore Hall with a | large number of freshmen present. | The officers elected to serve the Freshman Class for the school year, 1959-1960, are as follows: Leonard Slade, president; Randolph Beverly, | vice-president; Carolyn Clemons, sec retary; James Manly, treasurer; Ed ward L. Smith, sergeant-at-arms; and Roscoe F. Hager, student council rep resentative. The class would like to thank the instructors and fellow students for the warm welcome received during orien tation week. The only hope is that they can go beyond that which is expected of them as a class. Members of the class who have missed both class meetings are cor dially invited to attend the third. —Roscoe F. Hager A wise man pasted this in his hat to serve as a reminder along the way of life. “Any man can spoil himself for himself. He can allow himself to' grow so sensitive that he lives in con stant pain. He can nurse his grudges until they are an intolerable burden. He can think himself insulted until he is apt to be. He can believe the world’s against him until it is. He can imagine troubles until they are. He can hold so many under suspicion that no one believes in him. He can insult his friends until they are no longer friends. “He can think himself so important that no one else does. He can have such a good opinion of himself that ‘ National Achievement Week Observed The Delta Iota and Lambda Gam ma Chapters of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. on observance of their annual National Achievement Week in Moore Auditorium had as their guest speaker. Dr. H. Albion Ferrell, who rendered a very inspiring speech, “The Achievement of Excellence: Today’s Challenge, Tomorrow’s Ne cessity.” Brother H. A. Ferrell was intro duced by Brother Arthur M. Bagley, vvlio LllCll Dl . I~CiJLcll ICCCIVCU his Ph.D. degree from State Teach ers College, Baltimore, and at pres ent is the Chaplain, Canterbury House, Howard University, and Grand Chaplain, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. Where do we stand today in rela tion to Dr. Woodson’s statement, that if anyone is to achieve there must be a certain degree of excellency? was Dr. Ferrell’s question to the audience. We must not think as St. Augustine said, “Lord make me good. Lord make me chaste, but not yet.” Not yet is far too late, but at this parti cular moment. We must not allow anything but the best to come to us. We cannot and must not accept any thing but the very best. In conclu sion, Dr. Ferrell stated that as we progress, the world progresses; and as we think the world thinks. In closing a Greek Medley was played. Masquerade Party Given Halloween Night, October 31, with its fun and excitement, was celebrated by the Thalia Sororsis Club in the gymnasium from 8:00-11:00 p.m. There was a variety of costumes, which added laughter and enjoyment to the occasion. Riddick Parker, a sophomore, who was dressed as a farmer, won first prize for the most original costume. Other costumes of interest were those of Lois Parker, a^ a “Cat”; Louise Hoffler, a “rab bit”; Pauline Carney, a “witch”; Er nestine Lyons, a “Japanese woman”; Thomas Hodges, “Sylvester, the ghost”; Rosemary Wilkins, “Cinde rella”; Rose Cherry, “Zorro”; and Stephanie Thompson, a “clown”. Prizes were also given for the lucky ticket and best dancers. Cath erine Smith won the prize for the lucky ticket. The Jitterbug contest was tied by Norman Cherry and Yvonne Jenkins, as partners, and Carlinda Biggs and Jesse Majette, as partners. The Cha-Cha contest was won by Rose Cherry and Calvin Wil- Uams. Refreshment were served to all. Brice Trio In Concert On Wednesday night at 8:15 our college was entertained by the Brice Trio. This trio is a family of dis tinguished artists in concerts. Miriam Burton, who substituted for Carol Brice, began at a very early age to win vocal awards and critics’ plaudits. In September, 1956, Miss Burton gave a highly successful concert in Wugmore Hall, London, England. The London Times stated: “This singer has a powerful yet mellow soprano voice, well varied in color, real subtility in her phrasing, and a generous warmth of voice to fill the grand climaxes of Strauss.” The London Daily Telegraph spoke of her as “ a cultivated artist, with a voice of warmth and sympathetic timbre, commanding delicate shades of expression.” During the summer of 1957, Miss Burton was on a three-weeks’ concert tour as guest artist in Japan. She has just returned from an ex tensive tour of South America. Eugene Brice has increased the musical eminence of the family name with outstanding appearances as bass soloist with such organizations as the DePaur Infantry Chorus, The New York Concert Choir, and the Robert Shaw Chorale. Fulfilling the musical triumvirate is another brother, Jon athan Brice, considered one of the most distinguished piano accompanists in the field. These artists gave us a wonderful concert and were more than accepted at our reception which followed the concert.

Sud denly the band was in formation and plaved the S. T. C. Alma Mater; from this formation the Band made the umbrella and played “Stormy Weath er”. In marching formation the band stepped and moved off the field like a streak of lightning. Pauline is a very active, respectful, cooperative and dedicated member of our sisterhood. She has shown the qualities in all respects of college life. We are proud of her accomplish ments. We hope that she will have greater achievements in years to come. Also with equal pride, the members of this sisterhood recognize the in tellectual accomplishments of its mem bers. Lois Parker, a senior of Sea board, North Carolina, is one of the two student members of Alpha Kappa Mu Honorary Society, which is the highest honor society on our campus. Lois has a dignified and refined manner and is loyal to campus or ganizations. She is dedicated to her work as a prospective teacher in the elementary schools. We say to Soror Parker, “Continue to climb the educational ladder to excellence.” James Abram Garfield, the twen tieth President of the United States, was born in Cupahogan County, Ohio, on November 19, 1831. His father was Abram Garfield, descended from an ancestor who came to Massachu- settes in 1630 with John Winthrop, the first Governor of the colony.
