Jordan Visit Campus
By HOMER PIKE
U.S. Senator B. Everett
Jordan, Democrat from
Saxpahaw, N. C., paid a brief
visit to Wayne Community
College on FYiday, February
11, during his truly whirlwind
tour of Wake County. Senator
Jordan, now in his late 70’s
and facing what appears to be
Ws most challenging cam
paign since he filled the
vacancy caused by the death
of W. Kerr Scott on AprQ 19,
1958, showed visible signs of
fatigue induced by the rapid
pace of an election year
agenda. The Senator was on
campus for but fifteen
minutes and was able to
manage only a few hand
shakes and smiles. The visit
was very obviously merely
political and few students and
faculty were able to speak
with him much less discuss
issues.
What a life, that of a
politician.

IlN MEMORIAL!
The death of Wayne Garland
Grumpier has left a vacancy
at Wayne Community College
which cannot be filled. Many
knew him by his smiling face
and care-free nature, but
those who knew him more
closely came to know him as a
truly great individual. His
death has left more to our
campus than just an empty
desk in a classroom-we’ve all
lost a great friend.
Many things could be said of
him, but perhaps the greatest
of all was his determination
and desire to get ahead-to
accomplish something worth
while. His ability as a football
player while attending
Charles B. Aycock will long be
remembered by many as
outstanding. Those at Wayne
Conununity College will also
remember him as a member
of the Delta Chi Omega
fraternity who did much to
uphold the standards of the
club and also to establish a
closer relationship among the
fraternity brothers. The Delta
Chi Omega Fraternity and the
Student Body express their
deepest sympathy to the
family and friends.
A Psalm of Life
Tell me not, in mournful
numbers,
Life is but an empty
dream!—
For the soul is dead that
slumbers’
And things are not what they
seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust
returned;
Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not
sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each
tomorrow
Find us farther than today.
Art is long, and Time is
fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout
and brave.
Still, like muffled drums,
are beating
Funeral marches to the
grave.
In the world’s broad field of
battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven
cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!
Trust no Future, howe’er
pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its
dead!
Act,—act in the living
Present!
Heart within, and God o’er-
head!
/
Lives of great men all
remind us
We can make our lives
sublime.
And, departing, leave
behind us
Footprints on the sands of
time;
Footprints, that perhaps
another.
Sailing o’er life’s solemn
main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked
brother,
Seeing, shall take heart
again.
Let us, then, be up and
doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still
pursuing,
Leam to labor and to wait.
Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow

undergone changes from the
previous editions. This
paperback collection has
changed its name from its
previous title, “The Insight.”

100 pages of new, and different
things. Students on and off
campus are featured, along
with sports at WCC, “Miss
WCC,” dances and other
social activities, faculty
members, and fraternities.

to come out the last of the

work of the annual staff and
the devoted help of the Sigma
