A Tribute
To Our President
i
The class of 1960 reserves a
special right to call Dr. Jones our
president. We feel that he really
is a member of our class. We en
tered at the same time, we as
freshmen—he as a freshman presi
dent. Our Dr. Jones began his first
term as president in September
1956. As we approach graduation
day, we feel that under his leader
ship and guidance, we have grown
into mature adults.
As we look over the campus we
are aware of the many physical
improvements attributed to him.
The high ideals and standards that
he has insisted upon the staff and
faculty to enrich the program for
our benefit make us proud to
salute him as our president. Even
though we 1960 graduates will be
leaving these hallowed halls on
May 29, Dr. Jones, not eligible for
graduation, will have reached the
milestone in his career as president
and we can only wish him con
tinued success, but no other class
will ever have the honor that we
have of being his first four-year
class.
The Senior Class
(Lorraine Manley)
Senior Class News
The members of the senior class
are busy contemplating gradua
tion. As a result of all the pre
parations for “G-Day,” the seniors
are anticipating an excellent Class
Night activity, a colossal Class Day
activity and a long-to-be-remem
bered Commencement exercise.
Class Night activities will feature
such things as the Class Will, Class
Statistics, the Class Prophecy,
Class History, and a display of
some of the heretofore unrecogniz
ed talent in the senior class. The
Class Day activities will include
such things as the Class Poem,
the Class Song, the Class Motto,
and the guest speaker, Mr. C. J.
Barber, Principal of the Garner
High School and President of the
North Carolina Teachers Associa
tion.
Commencement Day, as you
know, will be the day when that
inevitable composition “God. of
Our Fathers” will be played, and
the seniors will be on their way
out into the world.

BICKETT HALL
SCOOP
The girls in Bickett Hall have
been working hard to master the
materials presented to them by
their instructors in class or
through assignments and supple
mentary materials. We keep ask
ing ourselves: “How am I doing?”
Where am I going?” “Just what
am I achieving?” Through stren-
ous efforts we feel that we will
at last, make the grade.
We are proud of our classmates
who made the Dean’s list. It is an
inspiration to be associated with
them.
Our compliments to Miss
Jameszetta Butler on the Sunday
School Lesson “Our Fight against
Organized Evil”. Her presentation
was enjo,yed by all who were pres
ent.
We have thoroughly enjoyed the
social events directed by our
Dormitory Counselors, and are
looking forward to en,ioying more
of them.
Bickett Hall Girls have assisted
in selling refreshments to help
raise our contribution to the Scho
larship Fund.
This has been an enjoyable year
for us as freshmen and we are
looking forward to another suc
cessful year.

Can You Imagine? A Birdeye's View
Will They Meet
The Challenge?
It Is Hard
To forget
To forgive
To apologize
To take advice
To admit error
To be unselfish
To save money
To be charitable
To avoid mistakes
To keep out of the rut
To make the best of little things
To shoulder blame
To keep your temper at all times
To begin all over again
To maintain a high standard
To keep on keeping on
To think first and act after
wards.
BUT IT PAYS
Religious Journal

Will the meet the challenge? For
the second year commercial edu
cation students, the answer lies
in what they do now.
Last quarter, they did practice
work on campus for different in
structors, but the test did not
really come until this quarter when
they had to go out into the city
to work in different offices.
To them this is the height of
their training. Will these students
meet the test? Will they be suc
cessful in their work? Are their
personalities such that they will
be able to ad^t themselves to
new experiences in their profes
sion? The practice work done now
will let them know if they are
properly fitted to work in the
world of business tomorrow.
These second year students are
working in these places: the U. S.
O., Schools of the city, North Caro
lina Mutual Insurance Company.
County Cour.t House, and on cam
pus.
Sometime during this quarter
they will take the Civil Service
Examination. This examination
will prove to them whether they
have accepted the challenge suc
cessfully.

Greetings, fellow school mates.
This is your fashion editor greet
ing you again for the’ last time
this school term.
Now that spring has sprung once
more, it is time for us to dig into
our treasure chest of cottons and
pull out those costumes of fancy
laces and frills that make us the
living picture of femininity. How
ever, be sure not to pull too hard
or the results might be somewhat
shocking. Seriously, have you
given any thought to your sum
mer wardrobe? Do you know
what colors will be popular this
summer? What type of hat wtJl
you wear? Considerable thought
must be given these questions
if you are to be among the
well-dressed wome^n who will
set the pace for the parade of
glamour.
Let us take a peep into our
magic crystal ball and see what
is new in the world of color
and style. As we focus our at
tention upon the parade of colors,
we see dancing flairs of mint-
green, olive-green or mustard,
kelly green, royal blue, purple,
spicy browns, pale pink, butter-
yellow, orange and as always,
that ever popular white.
The styles are simple and
magnificent. The elegant chanel-
inspired, white suit with a. car
digan jacket and a full pleated
skirt leads the line of style-
matched with a toast colored
polkadot blouse and toast color
ed accessories. Second in line
is the charming collarless dress
in marvelous mint-green color,
with the fashionable flaring skirt
accompanied by accessories of
black. Ah, what have we now?
An enchanting party dress in
butter-yellow, with a whirling
full skirt and a new version of
a big bertha collar gathered on
to a scooped neckline. Magnifi
cent indeed is the lady in yel
low. Ladies, you too can be
magnificent in the prettiest of
prints, cut coolly low at the neck,
with the most feminine of the
season’s silhouettes, a bountiful,
billowing skirt and a tiny waist
line.
Your wardrobe will definitely
be incomplete if you are not the
owner of one of those crazy hats
that stole the show in the Eas
ter Parade. The spotlight is now
upon the shadowy hat and the
bee-hive, decorated with a multi
plicity of flowers. The heads of
fashionable women are expected
to resemble the most beautiful of
flower gardens.

Of Student
Teaching
Odessa N. Stinson
As we, the Student Teachers,
view our respective posts of ob
servation and operation in the
elementary schools, realization is
ours that Student Teaching has
not, by any means, ended our
period of study. We yet have
much self-preparation and de
velopment to see in ourselves
before our aims can be con
sidered accomplished.
The question may be raised,
“What are thg-^aims of the Stu-
dehr-Teac'nef ■ -amblffg ^tHers;'-
one major aim is to measure up
to all the superlative standards
toward which Student Teaching
is geared. We should like to
demonstrate acceptable qualities
in all our dealings with the
pupils, their problems and needs.
We realize that if we emphasize
good democratic relationships we
must show our own sincerity,
fairness, understanding, patience
and sympathy. If we expect to
create true learning experiences
for children, we must maintain
perpetual learning experiences
for ourselves as well. It is our
desire that we shall better our
performance by devoting our de
dicated efforts to the develop
ment of skills and techniques
preparatory to rendering a teach
ing service to a community.
We should like for this period
of practice to provide for us
an enriching background of func
tional experiences to which we
may readily refer. And most of
all, we should like to know
that our teaching-learning exper
iences are geared in the desired
direction, and toward this end,
we are guided by the kind as
sistance and cooperation of our
and our administration.
An elementary school teacher
gave her small charges a lecture
on the merits of brevity and then
asked them to write a sentence
or two describing something ex
citing. One of them promptly sub
mitted the following; “Help! Help!”
