Seated on grass Sadie Baten, president; left to right, Hazel Foushee, secre tary; Barbara Sharpe, and Evelyn Cameron. A VOID By Charles B. Haynes A void— That was the beginning Then God With infinite space and time On His Hand Created the world— An elysian paradise— That was the beginning of the end. Man, in a microptic world And time running out, Created war, and want, and death, Defaced the paradise— And through his anihilistic nature Shall provoke, ultimately, A void. “A Void” by Charles Hajmes was published in the Annual Anthology of College Poetry for 1956. This publication is a compilation of the finest poetry written by college men and women of America. Mr. Haynes is a senior from Norfolk, Va. Was This My Weekend? Thomas Smalls Late Saturday night as I stood by my window, I noticed that the clouds had gathered in a peculiar manner. Of course I have seen clouds in many different forms, but this particular gathering stim ulated my desire to rerivet those thoughts that are very close to me. All of a sudden I got the urge to go out into the night where I could just bathe in darkness. I threw on my coat and walked down the stairs. Standing there in the dark I was somewhat disappointed. The lazy wind and what I thought to be an intriguing atmosphere, as it ap peared from inside, had been a mere illusion. No longer was it as I had visualized it in my room; instead it was as though I had en tered a vast enchanted room which had no ending. Yet, it had walls, walls of evil silhouettes lurking close to me, which caused strange feelings to search the whole of my body. I was uncertain of what was to fol low, but it was not too late for me to turn back. The doors to the enchanted room had closed—at least for me they had. That I knew because the darkened walls were present everywhere except in the direction in which I was headed. As I start ed to walk, I felt the gentle drop ping of the rain playing about my face. However, I didn’t mind. I felt as though my unwarranted ex cursion would turn out to be much more secure had I the rain and determination to aid me in escap ing the wilting voice of fear which threatened me to turn back. So I went on, and the more I walked the more I began thinking of strange things. My mind seem ed to be in an upheaval. Every thought that I was conscious of came into one great collaboration. Perhaps it was the wickedness in me that I was experiencing. The feeling that had sent me into the night had vanished; horror and death were the only thoughts that pondered my brain. My walk hastened; it wasn’t long before I became aware of the fact that what I had proclaimed to be a fast walk had turned into a run. Fear had captivated me and dark ness was its keeper. The rain which had never increased, seem ed to have illusively seeped through all at once as a means to impede my progress. My heart thundered as I reached my room: with the key in my hand I fumbled at the lock afraid to look around. At last I was sitting on the side of my bed.

Future Teachers Of America The Future Teachers of Ameri ca, which is an integral part of our college campus, began its sec ond quarter activities with a con siderable amount of progress. One of the many objectives of the Future Teachers of America is to provide experiences in group discussions. Each month a group of students is selected to plan a program for the next meeting. It is through these experiences that students become more secure in their ability to prepare programs and gain self-confidence in speak ing and expressing themselves. Every member of the F.T.A. re ceives a copy of the N.E.A. Journ al. This journal contains informa tion that is valuable to every future teachers of America. One of the activities during the second quarter was securing a film, “A Desk for Billy,” which was shown in Seabrook Auditorium. The movie was based on the teach er’s experiences. The film was a full-length feature and illustrated the powerful impact of education on an individual. This quarterm the FTA mem bers are planning to attend the an nual meeting of the North Caro- I thought to myself.
