VOL. V, NO. 3 WINSTOX-SALEM STATE COLLEGE, WIXSTON-SALBM, N. C. APRIL, 1967 Hundreds Visit Campus For Yearly Parents Day Program James Funches and Carolyn Siiiidi viow art works. Students Display Art In Art Exhibit Winston-Salem State College students exhibited their work this month in the Art Gallery of the Fine Arts building. This exhibit consisted of the better creations by students this school year. Primarily, it is dominated by paintings em phasizing the basic color schemes in art. They (the stu dents) applied pigments to sur faces using the primaries and secondaries without casting shadows or using other techni ques employed in the structural approach. The students feel that their power of communicating through art has been enhanced by the study of art principles outlined in the Art program here at State. However, they regret that a major in this field is not offered. As a result, some of these talented students may leave State to attend other institutions that offer a major in the field of art. Although handicapped by the shortage of materials and tools with which to work, until a few weeks ago, these students have achieved their goals very suc cessfully. Haywood Oubre, Jr.. chairman of the Art Department and in structor of most of the advanced art courses, is proud of the pro gress made by the students this year and is looking forward to Ihe next student art exhibit. The display featured works of the following students: Vincent Parker, Ann Dubose, William Gay, James Funches, Julia Sheppard, Barbara Pitt man, Marva James, Constance Farrington, James Johnson, and Mary Bowman, The Fifth Annual Parent’s Day celebration was held on campus the 9th of April, The theme: “The Challenge to Parents in a Changing Society,” The purpose of this day was to enable the parents and guardians to explore our cam pus, become familiar with the many aspects of college life, and discuss the progress of the stu dents with the faculty members. With heavy, dark, threatening clouds looming over the area, the activities began with regis tration at 8 a.m. Many people, not only parents but scores of aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters and friends, congregated in the student lounge, the center for registration. At the close of the registration period, a surprising ly large number of parents had enrolled. A worship hour was conduct ed with Dr. Joseph N. Patterson, professor of education, Winston- Salem State College, as speaker. “Families are the salt of the world,” said Dr. Patterson. “They are of all different types.” When the problems seem bur densome and never ceasing, he said, “Be not weary; life does go on.” Dr. Kenneth Williams, presi dent of Winston-Salem State; Melvin Mayo, student body president, and Miss Sonja Neely, Miss Winston-Salem State Ladj' of the Year, extended wel comes, The Anderson High School Choir and the Brother hood Quartet, with State’s own Reverend Willis, were featured attractions. The parents were ushered off by the students to Kennedy Dining Hall where they enjoyed a delicious chicken dinner. Mrs. Maggie Alston (left), Ruby Jones, and Mi-s. Eva Jones register for Parents Day activities. Open House began at 1:00 and lasted until 3:45 p.m. Parents were taken on tours of the cam pus. During the tour, parents were permitted to visit with instructors in the department buildings. Walking from build ing to building enlightened the parents on one of the methods of keeping in physical condition. One parent said, “I’m enjoying myself. Everything is fine ex cept there are just too many steps to go up.” To culminate the day’s events, the afternoon program was pre sented with Dr. C. L. Hacker.
