EDITORIAL Every Penny Counts Again we are about to close an other school year and all our stu dents will return to their sections of our country. We have been liv ing together as one big happy fam ily for the last few months with an effort to increase and share our experiences. We have become raortt. ionscjflu.'? of. th^/ importance of a college education in the se curing of a responsible position in today’s complex compefitive world. Each day should be thought of as a penny. A penny’s value isn’t much when it comes to buying goods out of a store, but if we save each penny for one hundred days then we have one dollar. (One dollar, if it has added to it more dollars, will soon grow to be hundreds of dollars). One day doesn’t mean too much to us, and we fiddle our time away saying convincingly to ourselves, “I’ll make it up tomorrow,” but if a person makes a mistake and does not correct it then and there, he will make that same mistake again. So fellow students, keep this in mind each day: do your best; don’t participate in just one thing; get your penny’s worth by being active in curricular activi ties as well as in extra-curricular activities. Remembering the de cision of the United States Su preme Court, we must “get ready” and “stay ready.” We can’t be good in one thing and poor in an other, and the only way we can do good and be a jack-of-all- 'trades is to make every day count. Three things that will help us as prospective teachers of our coun try are to think, to work, and to serve. If we must reach success then, fellow schoolmates, we must think. The person who devotes some thought to any problem or situation, weighing carefuly posi tive and negative decisions; re ceives the best end-product. Work is a little word, but it takes a conscientious, ambitious, and interested person to have a battle with it and win. Studying is work, but with the ever-grow- ing competition in profession and business, there is no way out. We know we have to work, so why not do our best at any task we undertake? Service is usually associated with weakness by some unkind in dividuals. If an opportunity pre- JOYNER HALL NEWS The Spring Quarter has now ar rived and Joyner Hall has just about completed another success ful school year. Among the out standing activities that were listed on her calendar was the dance sponsored for the benefit of the Athletic Scholarship Fund. The dance was very successful and as a result the proceeds were good. Miss Annie Ruth Carroway, an occupant of our dormitory, accom panied Miss L. P. Turner as a rep resentative of the Drama Guild to the N.A.D.A.A., held in Nashville, Tenn. We are fortunate and proud to have such a personality as Miss Carroway to represent our school. ‘ Joyner Hall is now in the pro cess of sponsoring a Charm Week next fall. We are expecting to have speakers to talk to the students on different phases of culture in our society today. With the cooperation of the stu dents, we hope to make it a suc cessful event. With the school year coming to an end soon, all of us in Joyner Hall are proud that the time spent in the dormitory was most enjoy able. —Lorine Mallette, Reporter F. T. A. Notes The James Ward Seabrook Chapter of the Future Teachers of America has had a well-rounded program this year. Throughout the year we have made ourselves receptive to all available informa tion, procedure, and experiences that will benefit us in the teaching profession. Our current flow of articles tak en from the N.E.A. Journal has been a great asset to the develop ment of our club. Reading is fine, and actual par ticipation can be of very great im portance in certain situations. We, therefore, attended and took an ac tive part in the North Carolina Teachers’ Association in Raleigh, North Carolina on April 9. To our F.T.A.’ers this affairs will be long remembered because of the im pressive address delivered by Dr. Margaret Lindsey, Professor of Education, Teachers College, Col umbia University. She gave us a very clear view of what it really means to be a teacher. We were also informed of the great rewards sents itself, nothing harms a per son to give a helpful hand. We can always base our lives on the Christian way of life. Now with those three little words in mind, may we begin our next school year with alert minds ready to think, our interest and determination to be ready to work, and our morals reay to serve? S!S8S*»ss^ Cleopatra Griswold, together with two unidentified students of Newbold Training School, statuesquely represents the progress and leadership ability of FSTC which the school has striven for since its founding. Y. W. C. A. News The Young Women’s Christian Association under the leadership of Aileen Camilla Watson, a senior of Shelby, N. C., is about to con clude the activities for the school year. These activities have in cluded the following: The North Carolina Student Y.W.C.A. Conference was held at Guilford College, Greensboro, N. C., March 12-14. Four “Y” mem bers attended the conference to represent our campus “Y.” They were Delores Baker, Lelia Thomp son, Marleen Pittman, and Marion Porter. On Palm Sunday the Y.W.C.A. carried Easter baskets and a program of songs to the patients at the County Sanitorium. Many hearts were made happy by our visitation. We would like to com mend Dorothy Powell, Chairman of the Community Committee, and Edna Spearman, Chairman of the Worship Committee, for doing the wonderful jobs of making the ar rangements to carry very attrac tive baskets and a wonderful pro gram of songs. The Y.W.C.A. presented Miss Marleen D. Bengel of World Uni versity Service (WUS) in a chapel program April 12, 1954. Miss Ben gel emphasized the great oppor tunity for American Students to help other students in war-devas tated areas of the world. She also stated “that these destitute stu dents need our help; they are do ing all they can to help themselves, but they cannot succeed alone.” (Continued on Page 3) in teaching. In closing, Dr. Lind sey challenged us to take advant age of all of the opportunities available for teachers in training. Our fellow F.T.A.’er, Miss Cleopa tra Griswold, president of NCTA- FTA, presided at this meeting. For the next school year we are making plans to continue our re cruiting of new members, as well as to keep those we have, to ob serve American Education Week, to conduct informative discussions and debates, to show educational films, to present interesting and informative chapel programs, and t^ conduct well-planned meetings twice each month. —Naomi Pitt, Reporter.

Terry has almost completed one of the busi est and most interesting years in its history. During the Bicentennial Cele bration of Cumberland County, April, 1954, the College Choir had the distinction of being the only organization on campus which was invited to take an active and ex tensive part in the celebration. The theme of the celebration was “The River of Courage.” Every night, Tuesday through Saturday, the choir took part in one of its many scenes in which it sang “Deep River.” For many other selections the College Choir mixed with one of the city church choirs in forming an interracial choirs which was broadcast. On the following Sunday the choir was invited to attend the i closing exercises of tjie Bicenten- ] nial Celebration at which time Fayetteville State Teachers Col lege sang. Other participants in cluded the Flora Macdonald Choir and a Scottish Band from Nova Scotia. The choir is happy to honor many of its seniors, most of whom have remained active members for four years. They are Alva J, Chap lin, Joyce A. Delaney, Vernice Frederick, Gwendolyn V. Steph ens, Verdell McLaughlin, Dorothy Simons, and Doris Leigh Pridgen. Ruth McEachin took part as an active member her senior year. David Franks, Charles Richardson and Roland Wilson held three im portant places that will be hard to fill. As of June 1, 1954, 11 voices will be missed — some lovely, some sweet, some squeaking, some soft, some soothing—but all, for four years, helped to make the F.S.T.C. Choir the best of its kind. The members of the choir will present to all its graduating seniors who liave been in the choir three or four years a gold key-pin. The choir is looking forward to May 13, which concludes its an nual Spring Tour. Plans have ‘'een made to go as far as Wash ington, D. C. —Doris L. Pridgen, Reporter ART EXHIBIT Shown above is a typical collection of student work which was on display during the Fine Arts Festival held May 3 to May 9.
