November, 1963 THE VOICE Page 5 Honor Roll From The World Of Drama Beta Kappa Chi Chartered Beta Kappa Chi, the newly organ ized national scientific honorary society on our campus, is anticipat ing a successful year. F. S. C. was fortunate to receive a charter for its chapter of Beta Kappa Chi last year. The FSC chapter was initiated with the in duction of th r e e mathematics majors and two biology majors by Drs. Joseph L. Knuckles and Henry M. Eldridge. The first student members of our chapter are Willis McLeod, senior from Dunn; Robert Melvin, junior from Fayetteville; Minnie Stevens, junior from Golds boro; MUdred Haywood and Joseph J. Johnson, both seniors of Fayette ville. The former three students are mathematics majors and the latter two are biology majors. Beta Kappa uni was tounded in 1923 by men who held that the pri mary function of the society should be “to encourage and advance sci entific education through original investigation, the dissimination of scientific knowledge, and the stimu lation of high scholarship in pure and applied science.” This aim still is as important as it was when Beta Kappa Chi was founded. In keeping with our primary aim — to encourage high scholar ship, Beta Kappa Chi considers for membership only persons who have high academic averages. In order for a person to be eligible, he must have completed at least sixty-foui semester hours of college work, seventeen of which must be in one of the sciences, in which he has a grade average of at least B and a cumulative average of at least B. The society is looking forward to having a large number of students eligible to be considered for mem bership. Reporter, Mildred iHaywood Advisors, Dr. J. L. Knuckles Dr. H. M. Eldridge Look! More Talent (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3) dramatizing. We had such vocalists as Miss Bernice Glaspie, who sang “Gee Whiz,” and Miss Gloria Bene field who sang “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” There were such models as Misses Johnnie Maynor and Martha Sanders, who modeled formal even ing wear. There were such drama tists as Misses Barbara Jackson and Oprea Williams. Mr. Lester Campbell really fascinated the crowd with his rendition of “Moon light Sonata.” Throughout the pro gram, the audience showed both ap preciation and enthusiasm. The spirit of the event was really climaxed, when the freshmen pre sented $198.00 to the Student Emer gency Loan Fund — proceeds from the evening’s entertainment.

B Sharp With The Choir The Fayetteville State College Choir has begun the academic year, 1963-64, with a great sforzato! Even though the choir greatly laments the parting of approximately twen ty seniors, it still looks forward to a prosperous year. And why not? With thirty-five new and eager voices comprised mostly of fresh men, how could the outlook be dim? Music is the universal language and the choir has as one of its goals to entertain its audiences around the world in song. There wiU be renditions that teU of olden times in far away places and songs that teU of modem times in your locale. It is a remarkable experience to romp through the world of music. Two young ladies, both seniors, elementary education majors, and altos of the choir, have brought dis tinction not only to themselves and their families but also honors to the choir. They are Gloria Crawford and Rosetta Rivers, who were chos en Miss FayettevUle State College and Miss Homecoming, respective ly. Incidentally, this is their fourth year in the choir. To help the choir achieve its utmost in musical stature, there is Mrs. M. T. Eldridge, directress. Also to assist her and aid the choir to function at its best, the following officers were chosen: President Jack Sharpe Vice President .. Joseph Butler Secretary Mamie White Treasurer Edna Melvin Pianist Shirley Arnold The choir members can visualize a melodious pathway to the sphere of sound. Won’t you join? Harmoniously, Beverly Vinson and George Langford In order to clarify the meaning of words used in an announcement about a school carnival, the tea cher asked her third-graders if they knew what the word “bazaar” meant. After a long silence, one young ster raised his hand and repled hesitantly, “I don’t know for sure, but I think it’s part of a lady’s un derwear.” NEA Journal « « « « A little boy was asked by his tea cher if he felt ther was anything he could do better than anyone else. “Yessum,” he replied after some reflection. “Read my own hand writing.” A teacher found he had three stu dents named Smith — Albert, Alvin and Frank — in the same class. TTo identify them better, he sent them to the blackboard in alphabetical order, asikng that each write his name. They did. Albert wrote; A. Smth. Alvin wrote ANOTHER Smith. Frank wrote THE Smith. As we begin a new academic year, we here in the world of drama, wish to extend to aU the freshmen and other new members of the college family, a sincere welcome to our institution. The Drama Guild of the College held its first meeting recently and drew up the plans for the 1963-64 Drama Calendar of Events. This is the proposed schedule: October 1, 2, 3, 1963 — Casting of Fall Production October 26—Homecoming (Parade) November (early)—Freshman Play November 14 — Fall Production December and January — Play Ex changes with other Colleges January 14, 15, 1964 — Casting of Spring Production (Shakespear ean Play) February (The First Saturday) — The Big Sound Is it a drill team? Is it a parade? No, it’s the “Bronco Band!” Here they come now with those flashy uniforms and high-stepping major ettes — up to the ten-yard line, the twenty, the thirty — executing pre cision movements that cause the eyes of every fan in the stands to be glued in one steadfast direction. At the same time, each individual instrument, owning a specific size, shape, and range, is producing a unique sound which when combined with the numerous other musical tones being simultaneously formed composes a matchless musical pro duction that causes each eardrum to vibrate in rhythm with the beating of the restless hearts. It is “The Big Sound” of the “Bronco Marching Band!” In a concentrated effort to con tinue their display of musicianship and showmanship, the members of the band have chosen the following officers: President . WilUam Westfield Secretary Mary Johnson Assistant Secretary .. Elaine Ray Treasurer Fred Byrd Student Government Represen tatives . .. Jack Sharpe, Jere miah Wooten Reporter ... Joseph J. Johnson Sergeant at Arms .. Charles Ben nett Along with halftime perform ances at Bronco games, the Bronco Band has given a Performance at the beautiful Hedrick Stadium at Fort Bragg. The band members are eagerly looking forward to other trips that wiU help broaden their musical background. At present the Bronco Band is busily preparing for the remainder of the football season. We have high hopes of keeping “The Big Sound” coming your way. Reporter, Joseph J. Johnson Director, Mr. Thomas B. Bacote Drama Clinic of N.C.H.S.D.A.

His first play, Purlie Victorious, was pre sented on Broadway for several months and has received some very favorable reviews. It was so well received by the public that it has been purchased by a movie indus try and will appear this fall as a movie under the caption of “Gone Are the Days.” The F.S.C. Drama Guild has been invited to participate in pro ductions in cooperation with the Fort Bragg Players under the di rection of Mr. Gilbert Ross, Enter tainment Director of Fort Bragg. This experience should greatly in crease the acting ability and the productions given by the Drama Guild. Another activity of the Drama Guild, The Freshman Production, promises to be very entertaining and interesting. The title of the play is “Concert in the Park.” This year the members of the Drama Guild, along with their ad visor, Miss L. P. Turner, are proud to have on the Dramatic Commit tee Miss W.
