Sharp Styles
for the
Swingin' Set
Doris Goss
Greetings, friends of the fashion
world!
Wanna’ chase wintertime chills?
Then take a gander at the terrific
threads made just for you by
thread-spinning cats who dig the
TEEN scene! Fashions this year
are more magnificent than ever.
In the coming months students
around the country will feature
coordinated capris styles from the
tailored to the relaxed, from every
kind of fabric — corduroy, knit,
wool and nylon fleece, with
matching overblouses and jackets
in solids, plaids, stripes and prints.
There are sensational dresses that
will leave you young ladies look
ing like campus queens.
Perhaps you are wondering what’s
new in the line of colors for the
season. The dirty green is still
very popular and goes well with
many other colors. Royal blue is
also gaining in popularity.
High among the fashionable fash
ions on the campus of Fayette
ville State Teachers College are
the boot shoes, commonly called
desert boots. These boots come in
many different styles and colors
and are very handy for the chilly
weather ahead. However, it is al
ways well to remember that shoes,
as well as the rest of your ward
robe, should be chosen to suit your
particular personality. It is a
known fact that all of us cannot
wear the same styles and colors.
A great deal of emphasis is be
ing placed on coats. The raccoon
collared coats seem to be the lat
est thing on our campus. They are
also very pretty and they come in
many different styles and colors.
So, girls, analyze yourselves.
Take into consideration your fig
ure (whether you are short, fat,
tall or slim), and your complexion,
and dress accordingly.
- I.t.'.n-i'.Tbei it is always nice to
be well-dressed. This does not re
quire a large wardrobe, or all the
latest styles. Well-dressed means
having good taste in your selection
of clothing. So let’s get in the
swing of things by reading up on
the latest in fashions.
Miss Homecoming and Attendants
Homecoming
Parade
The Homecoming of any school
is a most important time to stu
dents, former students and faculty
as well. This year our Homecom
ing at Fayetteville State Teachers
College was especially important.
The festivities were begun by a
colorful parade down Hay Street.
There were-four high school bands
participating, and of course our
own Blue and White marched.
Lovely ladies and floats were the
order of the day. Miss Homecom
ing, along with her attendants, was
riding in a flash convertible driv
en by an instructor of our college.
Floats included the Sigma Sweet
heart, the Alpha Sweetheart, and
beauties from Durham Life In
surance Company to mention only
a few. Anne Chesnutt High School,
from the surrounding locality, pre
sented its drill squad who did a
splendid job. The jDarade, on a
whole, was a very splendid suc
cess.

I Love You, F.S.T.C.
Genevieve McNair
To me, Fayetteville State Teach
ers College is a wonderful place
It provides an atmosphere of
friendliness, warmth, and gra
ciousness. Not being from around
Fayetteville, I didn’t know one
person on the campus when I ar
rived here for school. It was just
like being in France, for example,
and not knowing a word of the
French language'. Soon after class
es started, I began learning the
students, and I felt as though I
were a part of the institution. The
First Quarter has ended and as I
look around I see the great prog
ress that I have made—in meeting
students, faculty and staff mem
bers, in actual classroom work,
and in association with campus or
ganizations such as our College
Band. I have a close relationship
with Fayetteville Teachers Col
lege. This is my school and I
wouldn’t trade it for the world. I
love the college, I love the coeds,
and I love the faculty. I repeat—
I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
Student Advisory
Board
The Student Advisory Board
initiated its work with the Orien
tation Week Program for the 300
new students. The Orientation
Program was under the leadership
of Eva Cordon and Thelma Forbes.
According to the evaluation given
by the Freshmen, the program was
a tremendous success.
This year’s officers of the Stu
dent Advisory Board are: Chair
man, Minnie Hines; Secretary,
Gertina Keyes; Student Govern
ment Representative, Willie Dan
cy.
Some of the plans for this year
include Sunday School program
in January, assembly program in
March, and a program of recog
nition for all horwr students. Our
Hobo Party for Honor Students,
held in the Student Union Room
before the end of the fall quarter,
was climaxed with Joseph Wash
ington and Nannie Crosby crown
ed King and Queen of the Hobos
for having the most authentic and
original costumes.

Take A Hint
To the Freshmen:
“Backward, turn backward, O
Time, in your flight.”
Make me a freshman again so I
may start right. When the going
gets rough, we feel like heading
back to port. Realizing it is im
possible to turn back, we, as sen
iors, would like to offer you the
following hints:
1. Study more effectively.
2. Participate in more profes
sional activities.
3. Read more widely.
4. Participate in more class
room activities.
5. Use more resourceful ma
terials in your classroom
work.
6. Be sincere.
7. Read and act more profes
sionally.
8. Make wise use of leisure
time.
9. Develop a well-rounded per
sonality.
10. Plan classroom assignments
wisely.
YOURS FOR A MEANINGFUL
COLLEGE LIFE,
THE SENIORS OF 1960

Veterans On The Move
The Veterans Club at Fayette
ville State Teachers College was
organized during the fall quarter
of the current school year under
the auspices of Dr. Odell Uzzell.
Members of the club have serv
ed in all of the branches of service.
As former defenders of our coun
try, the spirit to defend lingers
on among the present members.
The club strives to defend the
ideas of democracy and the stand
ards of the college, and to set ex
cellent examples of manhood and
scholarship. Officers are: Lock
Beechum, president; Joseph Biggs,
vice president; Ned White, secre

past football season. Pictured here are, left to right: Front Row: Irene
Downey, Juanita Pierce—head majorette, and Geraldine Alston. Back
Row: Alice Duncan, Lois Wooten, Mary Lou Ray and Ernestine Mock
A Float
Of Distinction
“Every parade should have
beautiful floats.” Last year we
tried to conform with this state
ment, but duo to circumstances
beyond our control, our float,
which was indeed one of distinc
tion, never got to the parade. This
year, in an attempt to compensate
for the float of last year, we were
determined to have a float thaL
was just as distinctive, if not more
so.
The float was blue, white, and
gold upon which rested: Miss FB-
LA—Thelma Black, Mr. FBLA—
Locke Moore, a typewriter—sym
bolizing the field of secretarial sci
ence, and a transmission—symbol
izing auto mechanics.
Though the weather was quite
gloomy, we feel that our float,
along with the winning of the
homecoming game, did much to
brighten the day and make it one
of double victory.
