The Thanksgiving Program The Thanksgiving program was presented by the Student Council on November 20, 1962 in the school library. The stu dents participating on the pro. gram were Beverly Hinton, Roosevelt Maske, Claude May- field, Nathaniel Boykins, and members of the Choral Ensem ble, featuring Wessie Cunning ham as soloist. Mr. William Lindsay also favored us with a vocal rendition. The speaker for the occasion was Reverend Charlie Hart, a graduate of Carver College who is now majoring in religious education at Johnson C. Smith University. Currently, Rev. Hart is serving as minister of the Friday Memorial Baptist Church which he organized. Using the subject, “Pray Con tinually and Give Thanks,” Rev. Hart admonished us to pray not only for things that we want, but pray for tbe things that we already have; this, in turn, means prayer by giving thanks. As we approach the Thanksgiv ing Season, this should be pond ered in our hearts. For the real purpose of Thanksgiving is to be thankful for what we have. Thus I say to you, “Pray con tinually and give thanks.” Sarah Berry, Reporter. SCIENCE CLUB MEETS The Science Club was organized October 15, 1962 for the 1962-63 School year.

The proceeds will go for the benefit of the Scholarship Fund. The scene of the play was a pleasantly furnished hall in the Vicarage at Merton-Cummiddle- wick, a small village in England. The Story: Galloping in and out of the four doors of an English Vic arage are an American actor and actress (he is now stationed with the Air Force in England), a cockney maid who has seen too many American movies, an old maid who “touches alcohol for the first time in her life,” four men in clergy-men’s suits presenting the problem of which is which, for disguised as one is an escaped prisoner, and an other a sedate bishop aghast at all these going on and the trumped-up stories that are told him. Cast: Ida Louise Stubbs Miss Sklllon Minnie Gentry Lionel Toop Vernon Washington Penelope Toop Helen Martin Olive Wlnton Van Williams Man Maxwell Banks Bishop of Lax Duane Jones Mr. Humphrey Police Sargent Moses Gunn Directed by Louise Stubbs. Produced by Van Williams by special arrangement with Sam uel French. This rollicking farce was a complete success. The humor was hilarious, at times, for the capacity audience attending. For selling the highest number of tickets, first, second, and third prizes were given to Jeannetta Pearse, Roberta Morrison, and Fred Alexander, respectively. Bernice Owens, Reporter.
