Jwt Thinking Address Corroborates Thoughts on Education By Tl'CKER I. LITTLETON Beaufort Faculty Member It was quite a coincidence that on Wednesday of laat week? the day after the printing in thia col umn of the article on the educated man? I should receive from my friend and former Greek professor an excerpt from a college address which expresses ao effectively what I wanted to aay. "After all, if a college can do nothing more than reflect what Emerson called the 'amooth me diocrity and squalid contentment of the times,1 then it has been sub dued by its own system. What can we say. for example, of college students who in conduct and be havior are no better than teen-age ruffians who have never ao much as graduated from high school? "What are we to think of bur educational process if the men which it produces have no leisure time activities more creative than television and bridge? How are we to explain our own devotion to the intellect if faculty members place material possessions and social prestige ahead of the practice of reason and moderation? What if, with all our teaching and our study, there is a lack of integrity and moral courage and decency on the campus? "We might as well not exist as an institution unless we exist for the finest products of the intellect and the spirit, and if we who teach and those who study here on this campus are not somehow made intellectually and spiritually roll er by their experience; if they dtt not develop tolerance, understand ing, humility, and compassion; if from all their contacts with the great minds of history they have not learned a respect for humah dignity and an appreciation tot beauty, truth, and goodness, then whatever honors their college tran scripts may sh?w and whatever academic prestige they may ob tain, they have not really becdmt educated people. "For these ideals, these qualities of mind and soul are the fruits of true education, and he only who possesses them is the truly edu cated man." ?Dean Wilson, Wake Forest Col lege It seems to me that the quota tion has placed due emphasis oh] several important things: the ad vantageous use of one's leisure time, the cultivation of those at tributes which pertain to the spirit of man, and the importance of conduct Or behavior. It is my opinion that the conduct grade a school gives is fir more important and .more indicative of one'a maturity than subjeet grades could ever be. Though the fore going excerpt dealt with the prob lem of true education as related to ? college, I think the reader tan see how the problem is ours in high school, also. Since our school has procured keveral new teachers this year, we were thinking that |>osslbly some of our Beaufort parebts, at least, would like to meet the new teachers or at least see their pic tures and come to know something about then). For that reaaon We hop* to print seme short biographi cal sketches occasionally. Our first teacher to be Intro duced to yen In this column U Mrs. On Bonner. The following account was written for you by one of oor Juniors, Misa Theresa Bellamah. "Everybody's been noticing that there is a new fowth grade te*ch "This p??t June, Hill Regan became Mrs. Rupert Row Bonner. Thereafter, Mr. and Mra. Bonner moved to Beaufort, where Mrs. Bonner la now teaching her first rear, "Other than teaching, Mrs. Bon ner's interests and bobbies include swimming, sewing, dancing, aing ing, and drawing. We of the Beau fort School are glad to welcoltie her to our faculty." ?Theresa Bellamah Our school p?ets are submitting three more of their poems for four enjoyment. The first poem la en titled Remembrance and #aa writ ten by a atudent who wishes the name withheld. The second poem, Two's Cotnpahy, was wHtteh by Monya Eubanks and the third one, Autumn Daya, by B?cky Monroe, both of whom have previously con tributed poems to our column. Remembrance A cold day In September? this. Here 1 ait reminiscing by The fire. I stare Into the blare and see All my recollections come to lift again, It aeems, because of this cold, dark, Dreary day? and those logs burn ing. A day like this is useful only for such Things, I feel Just for something lazy. ?Name igithkeld by request Two's Company Have you ever dreamed Of living In a castle built for two? Have you ever hoped within you That it surely would come true? Life is really nothing till you Have someone with whom to shar* That little bit of happiness Which comes to us so rare. Lift is meaningless when the Number's only one. But find someone to make tt two And life Is really fun. ? Monya Eubanks Antama bays The autumn daya are drawing nigh; Summer's nearly paat. The leaves upon the trees are changing Huea, ah ycst at last. Where is the merry laughter That filled' the sandy shores Of all the beaches? and the fun, The games, the frolic so galore? I They're gone, my friend, for the winter. All's so deserted now. The music, laughter, fun were grand; But it's more beautiful, somehow. When there's not a single soul around Just the rocks and waves and sand? And the rhythm of the pounding surf That says, "We'll always stand." Yea, the waves wart here before us And will outlast us *11. It's true, Ai they pound the lonely shore Beneath the sky Bow gray, now blue. And the leaves will alwtys change their hoe. Then wither abd die at laat. Yea, the autumn daya arc drawing nigh, AM summtr'a nearly past. ?Becky Monroe Loan Firm Reaches Half Million Mark Outing the ftttt tew day* of Oc tober, the Cooperative Savings and Loan Association of Uorehead City reached the MS millian dollar mark in aWrta.
