GALA RECEPTION,..Tis_ great indeed to be
recognized for accomplishments, whether big or
small. However, most of us go through life
merely touching the hem of notable accomplish
ments. Some of us though, are able, for one
reason or another, to rise above the hem and
embrace the full bodiment of accomplishments
drifting gown. _____

HIGH SCHOOL’S CLASS OF 1958.

Goines, Barbara Foster, Betty Foster, James
Stewart, Joyce Corbett, Mildred Ray, Elizabeth
Lovell, Charles Alexander, Edna Williams and

AVENUE used their lovely home, to host their
family’s annual Christmas gift exchange festivi
ties

DISAPPOINTING TIMES ...Richmond is a
city in the heart of Virginia where for the past
two years the Gold Bowl has been played. This
post-season football game is played between the
MEAC and CIAA champions.
Mapy people traveled the long distance last
Sator'day to see if Winston-Salem could knock off
the perennial champions from Orangeburg,
South Carolina. Unfortunately the Bulldogs of
South Carolina State College had other plans and
Klydette Gibbs, Frazier Lowery, John Cunning
ham, James Davis, Londell McClary, Kate
Harper, and John McGill had to come back a
little less fulfilled because everything other than
the game was terrific.
Kignt Here in our own back yard many
. University of North Carolina at Charlotte fans
left the Coliseum last Monday night with the
same feeling of unfulfillment. Their disappoint
ment resulted from UNCC’s loss to Appalachian
State University in a basketball game that was
witnessed by more than 7,000 fans.
How about it people? Was their anything
terrific about Monday night?
