Varied Program
The Teen-age Club of the New-
bold Training School is complet
ing another successful year of
work. The club, organized three
years ago, is composed of girls in
the early teens. Its purpose is to
help the girls to solve problems
peculiar to adolescence and to
make the necessary adjustments
for future womanhood. In order
to meet these needs, bi-monthly
meetings are held in which the
girls discuss routine business, hold
informal browsing periods, and
listen to guest lecturers.
At recent meetings of the club.

^DEAR RUTH”
Culminating a busy year of
dramatic activity under the direc
tion of Miss Lois P. Turner, the
Drama Guild of Fayetteville State
Teachers College concluded on
April 7 a two-evening perform
ance of “Dear Ruth,” Norman
Kronso’s fast-moving two-act
comedy. Although a new comer to
the floodlights, Ella Jane Chand
ler in the title role, about whose
twisted love affair the whole pro
duction centered, played quite ac
ceptably opposite Edward Taylor
whose stage experience was evi
dent in his portrayal of the daring
and flashy Lieutenant William
Seawright. Likewise, did Bertha
Barnes as Mrs. Edith Wilkins,
Ihelma Garris as Marian Wilkins,
James E. Purcell as Judge Harry
Wilkins, and James Pelham as a
rival suitor for Ruth’s hand, give
good account of themselves.
The Fayetteville Drama Guild
has been active throughout the
school year. During the fall quar
ter, “The Slave with Two Faces,”
“Rider of Dreams”, and “Cajun”
were given, and during the winter
quarter Vane Sutton’s “Outward
Bound” was presented on the
campus and taken to a numebr of
near-by towns. On February 7 a
one-day speech clinic was held
for the high schools of eastern
North Carolina with Mrs. E. A.
Thomas of Shaw University as
critic teacher. The Fayetteville
players were represented at the
annual meeting of the Southern
Association of Dramatic Arts
held on April 14-18 at the Flo
rida A. and M. College, Tallahas-
sse, Florida. They presented the
play “ Highness” by Ruth Giorloff.
Fayetteville State Teachers Col
lege was admitted to membership
in the Inter-collegiate Drama As
sociation at a recent meeting of
that unit held at Shaw University,
Raleigh, North Carolina.
DR. DU BOIS HONORED
Fisk University and the New
York Fisk Club sponsored a din
ner honoring Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois
on the occasion of his 80th birth
day, February 23, 1948. Regarding
the militant career of Dr. Du
Bois, one speaker said: “Through
the double-edged weapon of pro
found scholarship and the arti
culation of an aggressive program
for achieving basic respect for
human personality. Dr. Du Bois
has cut through the thick wall of
prejudice and hate and has
thrown a shaft of light on the
fundamental ills of the world.
With effective persuasion he has
beckoned the world to lift itself
above its sordid pursuits and to
devote itself to the high purposes
of human decency and world bro
therhood.”
