We Pledge
Allegiance
The Future Alumni was organiz
ed two years ago upon a founda
tion of loyalty. Its main purposes
are to increase school spirit and
to prepare seniors for a life of
active participation in the General
Alumni Chapter of Fayetteville
State Teachers College. Before
we can do this, however, we must
VOICE Scribes and Scribblers
recognize the obligation of service
which one owes to his fellow stu
dents and to his college. The Fu
ture Alumni recognized these ob
ligations, and therefore we sin
cerely pledged our allegiance to
the following;
To Fayetteville State Teachers
College which has served for the
past 80 years as a haven for stu
dents who have a thirst for know
ledge and a desire to enter the
well chosen teaching profession.
To Our Faculty, a source of in
spiration, whose leadership has
served as a guiding star to lead
students away from the path of
ignorance and into the light of
wisdom.
To Our Fellow Students whose
unremitting efforts, accelerated
progress, interest, enthusiasm, and
support have shaped the destiny
of our college and made it a com
munity of scholars.
To The General Alumni Asso
ciation to strengthen the ties of
fellowship and lay a foundation
whereby all students will cherish
the memories and associations that
■hey may gain here. To the “Moth
er” chapter, we, the Future AlL.m -
ni of Fayetteville State Teachers
College, pledge our loyal support
as we join your ranks next year.
Alex Purcell, President
To Promote Ideas—Work . . .
You, you, you, and I are filled with ideas about making
changes, but are the ideas made a reality? In many instances
they are not. We make suggestions about remolding our
social life, about lack of recreational activities and lack of
school spirit, but that’s about as far as we get—suggestions.
I don’t know if we make suggestions in hopes that some
one wiU use his ingenuity in materializing our suggestions or
if when they are made we have intentions of exerting that
one thing needed—work.
Suggestions usually arise because there is a need for them.
Someone sees a need for a change or an improvement and
suggests. This is only the first step. Secondly, plans must
be made. This involves sitting down and doing a httle plan
ning. Before getting something worthwhile, one may draw
up and discard several plans. In the process of formulating
plans he will note that time has been consumed and he has
worked; however, only part of the job has been completed.
Thirdly, one must convince others tliat his ideas and plans
are good. This can be done by telling others about the
plans and in telling them enthusiastically the idea will catch
“fire” with them and consequently they will tell others. Al
though your plans are good, you think, don’t hesitate to ac
cept other ideas that can be integrated with yours, thereby
enhancing the plan. Again time has been consumed and you
have worked.
After convincing others, then it is time to present the plans
to those in authority for their approval, disapproval or re
vision. After your plan is approved by those in authority,
it must be presented to everyone that it affects to be voted
upon. If approved, then the plans must be put into action
with everyone working. Whenever your ideas become a
reality you will have worked to make it so.—THE EDITOR.

Drama Guild Notes
The Drama Guild of Fayetteville
State Teachers College started the
school year 1957-58 with partici
pation in Freshman Orientation
Week. The freshmen were enter
tained with a tour of Fort Bragg.
Other members of the freshman
class are preparing for chapel ex
ercise, the one-act play entitled
“The Devil and Daniel Webster.”
The Drama Guild is offiliated
with two organizations of drama
and speech, namely: The National
Association of Dramatic and
Speech Arts of which Miss L. P.
Turner is president and the Inter
collegiate Drama Association of
which Miss Felecia Anderson of
Virginia State is president. The
student representatives for these
organizations are Misses Martha
Green and Mary Moore. Joseph
McSwain spent the week-end of
October 12th at Maryland State
College, Princess Ann, Md., where
plans were made for the Spring
Festival of the Intercollegiate
Drama Association which is to be
held during April, 1958.
Each Monday night from 7:00
to 8:00, the Drama Guild has its
weekly meeting. This year we
have an enrollment of 67 members.
Miss Turner attended the meet
ing of the American Educational
Theatre Association consisting of
teachers of drama, playwrights,
producers, and directors of the so
called Educational Theatre which
met in Boston on August 17-24 to
exchange ideas and techniques that
might improve theatres for mil
lions of American children and
adults.

Red Cross
Our College Red Cross Activi
ties Unit is a service organization,
and like the American Red Cross
of which it is a part, it seeks to
bring cheer and comfort to those
who are in need of such. Through
our study of Red Cross reports and
our reading of Red Cross maga
zines we learn much about this
great organization which will be
helpful to us in our work as ele
mentary teachers. Especially in
teresting and helpful are articles
which tell of Red Cross activities
in other parts of the world.
Since its organization in 1948,
our campus activities unit has
been able to do some helpful things
in the community, such as cheer-
