The Curry-Barnett
Nuptials
Baltimore, Maryland was the
scene of a beautiful wedding when
on the evening of February 5,
1949. Mr. Walter Lewis Curry,
pre-law student at Howard Uni
versity and Miss Wilhelmena
Barnett, instructor in history at
Fayetteville State Teachers Col
lege said vows in the presence of
friends and relatives. A native of
Ohio, Mr. Curry is a veteran of
World War II, he served as Mas
ter Sergeant in the European
theatre.
Currently, the Currys are making
their home in Washington, D. C.
The dates for the summer school
have been set for June 6
to July 13 for the first session, and
from July 14 to August 23 for the
second session. Whereas it was
planned earlier to have only one
six weeks term this year the
regular two session period will
operate as a result of student
needs. A sizeable enrollment is
anticipated. We are hoping that
several new courses will be offer
ed for the first time including a
course in Urban Sociology, Amer
ican Democracy and Government,
and possibly Medieval History.
Not all the faculty has decided
as to their summer plans which
makes it impossible to indicate in
detail at this time what teachers
will be on the summer-school
staff, or what guest professors will
be invited in to participate.
In the next school year it is the
hope of the institution to add
courses in Chemistry, Anatomy
and Physiology Two or three ad
ditional teachers will be secured
in certain olher areas so that more
emphasis may be given to the
correlation of the work of the
institution with the needs of the
in-service teachers.
It is now possible to graduate
from the College without fulfill
ing the requirements for Student
Teaching. Such graduates, how
ever, will not be prepared to se
cure a teacher’s certificate until
they complete the student teach
ing requirement. In line with the
suggestion of the Division of Pro
fessional Services of State Dept.
Public Instruction, the curriculum
will be organized mainly around
three areas: the child, the com
munity, the student teaching. It is
recognized that not everyone in
attendance at the College will de
sire to teach, and also that not all
persons desiring to teach possess
the necessary qualifications. By
the adding of certain courses such
as Chemistry and Anatomy, it is
hoped that more students will
come to the institution for the ex
pressed purpose of getting pre
paratory work for such fields as
Nursing, Medicine and the like.
The upper half of the curriculum
is geared primarily for those who

“Everybody is nice; the students
and teachers are very friendly”
is the reaction Mrs. Beatrice Wil
liams expresses to her four-weeks
stay at “State”. “I had always
heard that Americans were
friendly”.
A former teacher in the College
of West Africa in Monrovia,
Liberia which she explains is now
no more than a high school, Mrs.
Williams has come to Fayetteville
to complete her college work pre
paratory to going back to her
native country to teach.
While she likes them all, Mrs.
Williams says that her special in
terests lie in English and in bio
logy. When asked why she had
chosen to attend “State”, our new
comer replied, “I have always
heard that Fayetteville was a good
college.”
