VOLUME III, NO. 2 THE = REPORTER WINSTON-SALEM, NORTH CAROLINA Profiles Of An Instructor An instructor at work — A. Stephenson. By Zelinda Talbert The members of the Reporter Staff felt need to recognize various members of the faculty and stu dent body. In doing so we have chosen a “Teacher of the Month” and a “Student of the Month.” We now have as teacher of the month, Mr. Andy Stephenson, and as student of the month, Willie Edwards. Selecting people from both groups who have been an influence toward the student body as well as the community and who we feel have shown desired character here at FTI. Profile of A Teacher The members of the Reporter Staff have chosen as the “Teacher of the Month,” Mr. Andy Stephen son. Mr. Stephenson is an instructor in the Technical Department. Mr. Stephenson received his B.A. and B.S., in 1963 at High Point College, Master’s in Education and Counsel ing and Business Administration in 1966 at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He has had advanced study at George Washington University, and was also in the Marine Corp. He also ventured outside his teaching profession by working in Retail and Sales for Sears and Roebuck Co., Robert Hall Clothes, and Montgomery Ward Stores. He also ventured into the insurance field by working for National Life and Accident Insurance Company. Mr. Stephenson also worked in the car dealership by working for Central Carolina Motors and Twin City Motors. He is married to Millicent Crews Stephenson. He has one son, a graduate of UNC. His hobbies are golf, bowling and raising livestock. He also relaxes by listening to Johnny Cash records. He is well known around FTI. Teaching various subjects in the Business field has made him very popular with students. When asked about his opinion of the FTI stu dents, he said, “FTI students seem to become better and better each year.” He is hoping, however, that there will be an increase in school activities which are mainly for the students. Mr. Stephenson also mentioned his college days and he says this is used in his every day teaching here at FTI. To him this is a great factor which makes him one of the greatest teachers at FTI. Mr. Stephenson, the REPORTER Staff salutes you as being the “Teacher of the Month.” We couldn’t have found a nicer, or more understanding guy than you I have been to us. WHAT IS YOUR BAG? By Michael Brown Can you dig it? Do you know your bag for being at F.T.I.? Like do you have a bag? When are you going to open it and see what’s inside it? If you can, tell us your hang up and how high you want to trip, and like where? Well stop BOY, because your bag is empty like your mind. You, like your bag, are full of air. When are you going to get together and do something about it? Is this you, coming here five days a week, and you’re late half of the time, still not knowing what is happening around FTI. Even with this unawareness, you stroll over to the canteen and trip with your buddy. With the old thing the almighty mouth, Mr. at such a rapid pace that adds up to nothing. Then you might split or even go to class, bless your heart. When you leave this it isn’t fast enough. The sooner you leave the better it is with you. Well now, think BOY, what comes next? I am planting this now so you can dig it up later in visible color, black or white or any other color. You wanted it to be just a trip, so here it is. You best get off that train. It is moving too fast and you have missed your stop this quarter. You guys and dolls best get yourselves together, and get off that train this quarter quick, but striving pace as compared to a rabbit isn’t fast enough. Imme diately, if not sooner. That’s my bag. Can you trip it? —M.L.B. HOW I FEEL I believe we need a place here at Forsyth Tech to play football, basketball, and baseball safely. The present place for playing football has already caused an ac cident. I do not believe it would cost much to let the students plant grass and make a football field, combined with a baseball field. A concrete slab could be provided for the basketball court. Also, there would be goals provided, too, for the basketball court. See if the students are interested in this article. Concerned Student HAVE YOU EVER INTERVIEWED YOUR MOTHER? On December 9, 1969, I inter viewed Mrs. Louise F. Harris. She came from Wake Forest University Bookstore to here. She had been there for seven years. She also had worked at the Wake Forest University Library for three and one-half years. Prior to coming to Winston-Salem in 1956 she man aged a bookstore in Durham, North Carolina. Books have always played a DECEMBER, 1969 By Earnest Priddy For the past two years Forsyth Technical Institute has entered very beautiful, breath-taking and award-winning floats in the Win ston-Salem Annual Christmas Parade. The first float, very beau tiful and self-propelled, won the Commissioner’s Trophy for F.T.I. The next year’s float, entitled “Christmas Joy” was equally as beautiful and was pulled by a truck. It also won the Commis sioner’s Trophy. However, this year we outdid ourselves, because our float was neither self-propelled nor pulled by a truck, because we didn’t have 3 float. We expected, the corninis- sioners to give FTI a trophy for nothing. Of course not! One fault that some people have is resting off their laurels without even trying to accomplish any thing else. Another thing, anything worth while is not thrown together and expected to win. When you are preparing for a float, you elect your committee, plan your pro cedure, gather your materials, and begin work. The Student Council was late on all of these. We must learn not to do anything at the last minute. We should plan ahead so that we will be ready for any new developments. The Reporter Staff is not hiding its disappointment for Forsyth Tech not having a float this year. In fact, we hide our faces in shame for the laziness, slowfulness, and plain not caring attitudes of the student body. Will there be a float next year? Who knows? We hope that there will be one. Don’t you? FTI Reporter Staff Hopes For Best Newspaper Ever prominent interest in her life whe ther reading or selling. Her first interest in books be came apparent while working in the school library; more years than she wants to recall. She is married to Wilson T. Har ris, who works for the Journal- Sentinel in the Advertising Depart ment in Winston-Salem. They have two grown daughters. The family lives at 607 Gatewood Drive, Greenbrier Estates, Winston-Sa lem, North Carolina. Because of the split shifts or be cause the Bookstore is opened at night, the hours opened are 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Mrs. Harris says that she be lieves there is a bright future for the Bookstore here at FTI. She appreciates the friendliness that has been shown to her by staff and students alike. —Evelyn E.
