It Again!
T. Elbert Clemmons,
benefactor to SCC, has done it
again.
Mr. Clenunons, a retired
vice - president with IBM, has
donated an additional
$100,000 in investment
securities to SCC. Witti his
additional donation, the fund
Mr. Clemmons has set iq> f(H*
SCC is mow estimated at
approximately $200,000.
This is the largest trust
fund in the history of SCC and
according to Dr. Cottingham,
SCC president, “this trust
fund wUl fill an important
role in encouraging intensive
effort combined with
creativity in the learning
process, by both the college
staff and &e students.”
Mr. Clemmons, a native
son of Columbus County, and
an alumnus of the first
graduating class of Hallsboro
High School set up the fund in
memory of his father and
mother, the late George
Marion Clemmons and Aarie
Ward Clemmons, in an effort
to advance the quality of
education here in Columbus
County.
Mr. Clemmons, in a special
assembly address to the
college last year when he
received a stending ovation
from a capacity crowd, said
that schools have greatly
changed since his school
days. When he graduated
from Hallsboro High School
there were four teachers and
he was one of the two male
members of that graduating
^lass. A student leader and
graduate of the University of
Nortn Carolina, Mr. Clem
mons helped pay his way
through college by selling
Bibles in West Virginia
during the summer months.
Mr. Clemmons said that
during these days he had a
dream of a college here in
Columbus County. His dream
has come true, and thanks to
his help SCC will have a
brighter future to lode for
ward to.
In addition to this trust fund
Mr. Clemmons has donated
additional funds to pay ex
penses for sending an out
standing student or faculty
member of a foreign country
to study during the summer
of each year. Anyone csm
make nominations for this
award, and after the
nominations are in, a com
mittee consisting of the SCC
President, a bank nuinager of
the trust fund, faculty
members, students and
persons of the area SCC
serves will then choose a
recipient for the award went
to Armelda Bracey. She
chose to visit Mexico, where
she studied Spanish. Armelda
is back this year and has
shared with many of us her
experiences in Mexico. The
only stipulation for this
award is that the student or
faculty member whom this
award goes out to must be
returning the following year
so he or she may relate to
those who were not so lucky,
some of their experiences.
Mr. Clemmons says that by
offering this award he hopes
to spark greater initiative,
encourage more unusual
Aries Awards
Heath Ross Miler, famed
North Carolina writer, has
announced the winners of the
ARIES ONE Literary Con
test. The Southeastern
Community College’s fine
arts magazine sponsored the
contest among local writers
with awards being given to
'.Vister Jackson and Jay
Barrington.
Wister Jackson, Tabor City
writer and editor of ARIES
ONE, was given a $50 award
for excellence in prose
writing. Jackson’s short
story, “Other Cities,” takes
ideas and furnish en
couragement and assistance
to those people who made
contributions over and above
assigned tasks and the call of
duty; to assist in making it
possible for deserving and
promising students and
faculty members to enjoy
study and travel, in-service
training, or other
educationally enriching
experiences that would
otherwise not be availible.
Another committee of
similar membership is used
in deciding how to allocate
the earnings from the trust
fund. The committee
members are appointed for
staggered terms so that the
committees membership
changes at different times.
Although the college is now
benefitting from the trust
fund the benefits should in
crease greatly in the years to
come. The administration
here at SCC feels that these
greater benefits should
definitely make a change in
the schools finances in the
years to come.
Mr. Clemmons made these
contributions because of the
great faith he has in SCC and
because of a lifelong dream
he has had of seeing quality
education come to Columbus
County. By his having con
tributed to SCC so
generously, he has instilled in
others some of his faith in the
college. Since his initial
contribution and speech here
at the college last fall many
others have come forth and
contributed substantially in
terms of money, influence,
and support. (By KEN
ROTHROCK)
place in the rambling mind of
a young girl on a cold
Greensboro street. The entire
sketch includes only one
character in her search for
meaning, for love, for other
cities. Jackson, who has
edited the school’s magazine
for two years, had previous
work published in last year’s
ARIES.
A second cash award was
given to Jay Barrington of
Lumberton for his poem,
“Chopper.” Barrington’s
work competed against 48
other selections in the poetry
division. Previously un
published, Barrington’s poem
is also a search — search for
life’s meaning while riding
over U.S. 301 on a motor
cycle.
Miller, who judged the
works with the poet - editor
Sam Ragan of Southern
Pines, was very pleased with
interest in the contest, the
first sponsored by the
magazine. The cash awards
were only a small portion of
the money which was
awarded last year’s
magazine by the North
Carolina Arts Council. The
Council specified that their
money be used to support
local talent through contests
and through payment to the
writer contributors.

THE SANDBOX, the first
production by the SCC Drama
Club, was presented this
spring. The cast included
Dave Flowers, who was

Sam Flowers was the “Angel
of Death”. The musician was
Magdalene Elps. Drama Club

Up until a few weeks ago,

and across the grass im-

The college has finally
decided to brick the “short

one nay for nature
