Inauguration | Henry Powell
Is Cancas Veep
By GWEN STANLEY
The big day arrived on May 3,
t^ie day we had all heard about
end had received official printed
iiv'itations to attend. Even the
cloudy weather could not dampen
e spirit, splendor, and pomp of
Uie official inauguration ceremony
of Arthur D. Wengor as eighth
resident of Atlantic Christian Col
lege.
Guests started arriving on cam-
us at 10:00 Saturday morning,
ixty-one colleges and universities
ere represented by delegates.
Irs. Lynn West and Mrs. Jan
les were in charge of the regls-
ation desk in the classroom build-
ig.
'Hie guests saw cleanliness, neat-
i-.ss and orderliness in every
»uUding. TTie classroom building,
administration building, science
>uilding, dining hall, and the girls’
<iorm*were open to the public dur-
‘ g the afternoon. Comments from
uest« were heard concerning ap-
arance of the physical plant and
t the students. Hosts and hostesses
w t re on hand in each building to
how visitors around. Sigma Rho
’hi and Omega Chi provided ush-
rb for the ceremony.
About forty-two girls served more
lan two hundred guests a four-
<»urse meal. The waitresses work-
quickly in teams to serve the
>t courses while they were hot
nd the chilled courses while they
fre still frosty.
State troopers and city police-
'•n were all around the campus
recting traffic. Cars were park
ed on all side .streets *ncar cam-
us. Signs directing visitors to the
ollege were post^ on the high-
ays leading into Wilson. *nie
tMK>pers added a touch of excite-
ent to the occassion.
The Governor’s big, shiny black
adillac, with number 1 license
late, parked in front of Hardy
brary made an impressive sight.
Music from the organ was ren-
ered by Professor Lee Howard
fore the processional began. It
unded grand to hear the notes
choing -in the air. Before the pro-
ession started I noticed a small
luster of robed people standing
round, nervously awaiting the
me to march dignifiedly across
e center campus.
At last the long line of color,
cremony, and impressiveness
ormed. First came the members
f the Board of Trustees in busl-
s suit£; next came visiting dig*
itaries in their navy blue or black
‘>bes with hoods — royal blue,
. ellow, white, orange, purple, red,
nd black velvet. Tassels of many
olors bobbed from Uie caps; next

The painting.< in this exhibition,
by artists of thy Southwe.stern and
Plains Indian tribes of the United
States, are example.^ of the modern
.school of American Indian paint
ing.
Although contemporary in gener
al appearance and individually in
ventive, these works derive from
the oldest painting traditions in
America.
Pictographs from rock wallj of
aboriginal shelters, symbolic mo
tifs from pre-Columbian pottery
and mural art, subjecU from cer
emonial and secular life, and tech
niques developed with native med
ia are present In them. Their pre
dominant style — linear
painted in definite area* of flat,
opaQue color, !ias been character
istic of American Indian painting
for centuries.
The paintings include works of
the Pueblo. Navaho, and Apache
artisU of New- Mexico and Ari
zona. They also Include works from
the Plain.-i tribe* — Sioux, Kiowa
and Cheyenne.
The artist* who made these paint
ings are not the Indians popularly

One of the definite Improvements
noticed by upix’rcla.i.<men this year
has been in the quality of library
service at Cl«rence 1.. Hardy Ij
brary. This has been brought about
largely through the work of Mr.
i and Mr.s. Walter Gray who have
! been in charge of the I.ibrary dur
ing the past year. Mr. Gray is
head librarian while Mrs. Gray Is
his chief assistant.
Mr. Gray is a native of New
Jersey, while Mrs. Gray come*
from Virginia. She gr.iduated from
, Ubrary School in New York, and
, t>ecame county librarian in Hunter
■county. New Jersey. It was in this
.same county system that Mr. Gray
had a job reserved for him when
he returned from over!'"--! in the
8th Air Korce as an electrician.
After his wartime service. Mr.
Gray resumed his job awl shortly
afterwards t<M)k a position in Mis-
I souri to establish a county library
while his wife -to-bi- went to M.iry-
\ land for a similar Job of organi-
■ zation. After a time, ho came back
1 i-ast to Maryland to help Install
I .1 t^kmobile at the same Ubrary
(as his future wife
Mr. Gray thc-n decldi-d to go to
‘ college on his G. I. Hill and chose
: Laurence College in Appleton, Wis-
1 consin, where Nathan Pusey, n»jw
pre.sident of Harvard was presi
dent. One of his campus jobs w»«
babysitting for Dr. Pusey's child
ren. Susan iMrs. Grayi was work
ing near th*re as a lyou guessed
it I librarian at the time.
They finally decided to take the
fatal plunge and get married. They
then went U) the University of U« n-
yer where Mr. Gray finishi-d hi'
I undergraduate work. While In Den-
I ver, the Grays feeling desirous nf
; a small jaunt, took off in their
station wagon for a journey throug’.i
! the Pacific Northwvst, through
Puget Sound area, atid San Kran-
' cisco. Ihcir cat kept them com.
' pany on the road,
i They later had and took the op-
I portunity to comi* Ut the Univer
sity of North Carolina where Mr
I Gray work<-d and studied for his
masters at the same time. Mrs.
I Gray got a job working for the
‘ N, C. Ubrary Commission. Her
I boss was the illustrious ACX,’ alum-
'na. Elizabeth House Huey, sUt<-
' librarian, and former president u(
I the ACC Alumni Associatirjn. It
I was from Mrs. Hous« t:iat the
'Grays first heard about ACC.
Dean Moody also heard alxmt
the Grays about the same time
.lod a:,ki-d thi m If they could -co.T.c
to ACC to Uke over the library.
“Thoy could," they said, and did.
I While at U.N.C. the Gray* lived
: in an authentic iog cabin, built In
the early 1800's, in a comer of
' Durham County al»ut 6 miles from
Chapel Hill. They now live in the
I same hou.u* with Mr. and Mtn
