MAY, 1958 THE VOICE PAGE FIVE ZETA ZEST It is thrilling to be living in an atomic age when women as well as men can be challenged by so many stimulating opportunities to serve humanity! With the growing body of knowledge about our world and its many phenomena, there has been an increased con cern for human existence. This awakening has challenged the memebrs of the Omega Beta Chap ter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, In corporated. As members of the sor ority, we are interested in meeting the challenge of helping today’s youth, of helping young women “find themselves,” and of further ing the cause of democracy. With the unfaltering trust placed in our beliefs of finer womanhood, scho larship, sisterly love, and service, we shall endeavor to meet the challenge. The Omega Beta and Gamma Upsilon Zeta Chapters of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. ,paused on Jan uary 19, 1958, to observe the thirty- eighth birthday of the sorority. Our Founders’ Day Observance was held at St. Luke A. M. E. Church, Fayetteville, North Carolina. The reviewing of the history^ of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority and its purpose locally and nationally was done by Soror Johnnie Pearl Mur phy, a member of the undergrad uate chapter. An air of excitement prevailed at the Lilly Gymnasium on Satur day evening, February 15, when Omega Beta and Gamma Upsilon Zeta Chapters presented to Fay etteville society thirty-seven Zeta- lites at the Fourth Annual Zeta- lite Teenagers’ Ball. The affair was sponsored by the local chap ters of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. Miss Marjorie Herring, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stacey Herring, Wade, North Carolina, had her dreams fulfilled when she was crowned queen of the Zetalite Ball of 1958. Finer Womanhood Week, an an nual observance held the last full week in February, was launched with a rededication to our soror ity, Zeta Phi Beta. The culminating activity of Finer Womanhood Week was the Annual Finer Womanhood Week Vesper Service held in the J. W. Seabrook Auditorium on Sunday, February 23, 1958. Soror Ellen Alston, Executive Secretary of the Baptist Woman’s Home and Foreign Missionary Conference of North Carolina was guest speaker. Soror Johnnie Murphy introduced the speaker and Soror Ruth Mc Allister gave a rendition of Gaines’ “Faith, Only Faith.” A tea, held in the recreation room of Smith Hall, followed the ceremony. “Chapel in the Moonlight,” a skit based on a song by the same name earned a cherished third place ribbon for participation in the Jabberwock for the Omega Beta Zetas. In June 1958, the Omega Beta Chapter will bid farewell to eight of its members. She bids them good luck, good health, and happi ness. Leaving, but forever letting Zeta’s shield show forth her light, will be Sorors Bettye Allen, Mary Dunham, Margaret Evans, Rosa Foreman, Evelyntyne Humphrey, Ruth McAllister, Johnnie Murphy and Florine Steadman. Our wish to everyone is for a happy, safe, and enjoyable sum mer vacation. —Johnnie P. Murphy " MARY GLENN MOORE, junior from Fayetteville, N. C., who was recently chosen Sigma Sweetheart.

Some of Statens Ques ^'Bone up for Finals I All Around Sigmaland Once again it is time to record the feats and accomplishments of the Pi Chapter of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. Retrospect with me; this year it was the Sunday School program that brought Sigma-men to the foreground. Bro ther M. R. Silver, pastor of the Mt. Sinai Baptist Church, spoke impressively on the topic, “Deeds, Not Words.” Then came the night of the Zeta lite Ball when the spirit of even ing gowns and tails filled the gym nasium and campus with gaiety. The decorations were elaborate, debutantes were stunning and an enjoyable time was had by all. What a night — enjoyed by all who came and lingering yet in their memories. With us for the evening to present the debutantes was the Regional Director of the Southeastern District, Brother J. C. Duncan. Around this time the annual do nations were made to the Fuller School, Fayetteville; the Fuller School Station Wagon Fund; Ox ford Orphanage, Bethany Orphan- Pi, Alpha Omicron and Beta Sigma Chapters’ Sweetheart of 1958.” It was an impressive program with gifts coming from as far north as Brother and Mrs. J. J. Smith, Sr., of Jamaica, New York, and as far south as from Brother M. P. Davis, of Tallahassee, Florida. The vesper program of the “Bigger and Better Week” program brought Brother T. F. Brooks, Superintendent of the Oxford Orphanage, to us as the speaker. After the Tag Dance, the Zeta- Sigma Banquet, and Regional Zeta- Sigma Ball, the Sigma-men will look to other avenues for develop ment. Always as their guide will be their motto, “Culture for Ser vice and Service to Humanity.” —James Smith, Jr. Wake Up and Read . . . Students We, the members of Delta XI Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, were eager to join Miss Alice Jackson and the Library Committee in celebrating National Library Week. We were proud of this opportunity because library week is one of the Sorority’s na tional and local projects. Soror De- lores Miller was one of the student W. Seabrook Scholarship Fund. The “Bigger and Better Busi ness Week” programs next claimed our attention with Miss Mary Glenn Moore being honored as the Men of Omega Throughout the year the Delta Gamma Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity has striven to ex emplify each of its four cardinal principles, manhood, scholarship, perseverance, and uplift. Because of the need and desire for acade mic achievement, the brothers of Omega chose higher scholarship as an ultimate goal. To accomplish this end, information concerning good study habits and skills was secured and a study hour chosen. This proved to be effective; for as the result, the names of 75% of the brothers appeared on the Alpha Kappa Alpha Notes The Delta Alpha Chapter of Al pha Kappa Alpha Sorority is near ing the end of another school term here at Fayetteville State Teachers College, under the sponsorship of Soror Beatrice W. Pindle. We have sponsored several programs and participated in various activities during the year.

Soror Grace Matthews, coordinator of distri- schools of Richmond and AKA Mid-Atlantic Regional Director, was the guest speaker. The topic of her address was “The iWidth of One’s World.” We feel that the thoughts from that address are deeply embedded in the minds of all who listened and wondered, “How wide is my world?” The members of our chapter an xiously look forward to our regu lar Cultural Hours at which time we gather for a period of serious thought and discussion, followed by a social-activities period of songs, games, and tasty repasts.

C. Dear Students of F. S. T. C.: The progressive era in which we live is a challenge to us as future teachers to READ MORE. You need to read in order that your minds, from which other minds are to gain strength and wisdom, may ever be alert. You need to read so that the full force of your abilities and personalities may reach out and be prepared to lead those who will be entrust ed to you on ever-new heights of good living, self-development and about the world around them. This is, and will be, your responsibility —to read widely in all areas. Only through such reading will you be able to become successful leaders of children. It is often said that “Ignorance is the curse of God, knowledge the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.” So, let us as future teachers read to eradicate ignorance and develop wisdom, for .... Books are keys to wisdom’s treasure; Books are gates to lands of pleasure; Books are paths that upward lead; Books are friends. Come, let us read.” —Emile Paulson Delta XI Chapter Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Edith Harrison, Reporter Delta's First Quarter Neophytes
