Thanks, Mr. Howard
Most of us remember our college profs, not so much
for what they teach us in the classroom, but for the way
in which they pitch in to help us with our campus activi
ties.
Many faculty members help us through the winter
and spring months as we do those things which help us en
joy our yearly stay at college.
One of these cooperative professors has been Mr. Lee
J. Howard. This year he returned to The Collegiate as fa
culty advisor. It has been an interesting year.
We hope students have enjoyed the paper. We have
enjoyed taking it to press. Some of that enjoyment has
been provided by Mr. Howard. When we were tired and
things weren’t going right, he always came up with a quip
that made it seem a little easier. His suggestions on stories
were most helpful.
The staff of The Collegiate has become sort of a fam
ily this year, and Mr. Howard has been a valuable member
of that family.
Unfortunately for us Mr. Howard has decided to
leave Atlantic Christian College. He is going to New Hav
en, Conn., to become director of The Community Music
School there.
Many students on the campus will hate to see him go.
He has many talents.
The members of the staff hate to see him go most of
all. For, as we said' before, he was a member of the fam
ily.
Mr. Howard, we wish for you the most of success in
your new venture. We hope you think of us often as you
go about your new tasks. Those Sunday afternoons were
work but, thanks to you, they were a lot of fun, also.
Do You Remember?
Years from now when we are all sitting down on a
Saturday night with our friends and some guy across the
room brings up an incident that happened in college and
you can’t think of a thing to match it, just get out this
editorial and hit him with some of the big ones that hap
pened to you.
For in.stance, the day “Garlic” escaped from Phi Del
ta Gamma; the day the mural to Delta Sigma Phi was
erected in the tree in front of the classroom building; the
night we all went to the Coliseum to see the Bulldogs
battle the Wolfpack; the night the Monsoon flooded Sig
ma Phi Epsilon out of its house; the week the Asian Flu
knocked us out.
And here are some more for your scrapbook: I was
there when ACC won its first track meet; I was there
when they opened the first sorority house; why man, I
was at ACC when the fraternities went national; I was
there when “Tweetie” started selling Pizzas.
Remember the year Homecoming was postponed?
Yes, that was 1957-58. It was the year that Dr. Hamlin got
his honorary degree. It was the year that the college start
ed awarding a B. S. degree. And it was the year that the
“Sack” returned to the fashion front.
It was also the year that “Dead Week” began; that
academic probation became a household fear; that Gayle
Cameron was Pine Knot Queen; that Jay Prillaman was
Mr. Top Hat; that Agnes Davis and Odell Faircloth left
for Siberia.
Yes, it was a great year.
Casey Heads Accounting Club
The Accounting Club elected of
ficers for the coming year at a
meeting held on April 30. Delbert
Casey was elected President and
Warren Grady Vice-president. Both
are from Kinston, North Carolina
and are members of Delta Sigma
Phi fraternity. Both are graduating
in 1959 and they are very active in
the Business Department.
Other officers elected were as
follows; Anna Lovelace. Secretary
Treasurer; David Harvey, Reporter
and Charles Peele, Chaplain. These
officers were installed at the last
meeting on Wednesday night, May
14 at a dinner held at the Ship ’n
Shore Restaurant.
Preparations are now being for
the completion of a charter for the
Accounting Club to be signed by
the original founders. It is being
made by Mr. Harry Zarakus of
Wilson incommemoration of the be
ginning of the Club. It will be plac
ed in Mr. Swain’s office.
There was also completion work
done on a pamphlet about the
Business Department which is to
be distributed to the incoming stu
dents in the fall.

Record Summer Turnout Slated
By JIM BISHOP
Mr. McComas was named a
member of the Basketball Tourna
ment Committee of the North State
Conference at is meeting in Salis
bury last Saturday.
Plans are now being drawn by
the architect for the new men’s
dorm at the college. The college
hopes to get approval for construc
tion of the building at an early
date from the Federal Govern
ment.
Mr. Walter Gray is a charter
member of Beta Phi Mu, honor
ary library fraternity, started at
Chapel Hill two weeks ago.
The college is expecting the larg
est summer school in its history.
About 300 ACC students have in
dicated that they are planning to
attend summer school. It opens on
June 2.
Dr. Tyndall is conducting a work
shop in Biology at the University
of Virginia this summer.
Dr. Constantine is planning to at
tend a workshop in Chicago this
summer.
The Eastern District Convention
of the North Carolina Education
Association has been scheduled for
October 7, at Kinston.
Congratulations to Anna Love
lace for winning the Rotary Cup
and to Peggy Mitchell for winning
the Daily Times Publications A-
ward.
The Art Show now up in the
classroom building lobby features
work done by the students in the
art' department. Every student
should view this show with inter
est. It is a great improvement ov
er previous work completed by stu
dents in the art department.
You’d better clear your record
at the library. The Dean says no
student will be allowed to take ex
ams who has not turned all books
back in that he has previously
checked out. Enough of this chat

Through The Looking Glass
By GWEN STANLEY
Hey’ the rain has gone — warm
weather is here! Straw bags with
flowers atop accent many cotton
dresses. Men look sharp in starch
ed - wrinkless shirts’. ACC lassies,
better look twice at our neat men’.
Though this column is primarily
for ladies we ladies would be mak
ing a futile effort in dressing, if the
ACC men were not as well tailored,
dressed and immaculate. The en
tire year has seen neat, nicely
dressed men attend classes. And
the majority of men look like gen
tlemen when calling for Harper
Hall ladies.
some brown, some peel! Rainy day
forecast bright artificial flowers—
bright scarf and cheery smile!
Toe nails show — through sandals
so paint them!
Wilsonian Men really have still
weak comments on those “sack”
dresses.
Dye old sweaters, skirts while
home for the summer, revitalize
wardrobe, the thrifty way!
Plastic material earrings are
lovely — and light weight, fine for
hot summer!
Brown and white newest fashion
co-ordinates.
Ballon play suit resembles baby
rompers!
Lotions and sun oils are “Little
bottles of insurance”
Color is the first thought for plan-
nmg clothes.
Bottled fragrances give “p e r-
sonalities” to users!
Good looks, good iuck and a way
of happiness to each graduating
senior!
My Pet Gripe
By JIM BISHOP
Dear Jim:
I understand that this year for
the first time since 1948 the Denny
Essay Cup will not be awarded.
The reason for not presenting the
cup this year is the fact that not
enough students participated in the
essay contest.
I believe that the requirement
calling for at least 12 students to
write upon the Atlantic Christian
College motto, “They shall have
the light of life,” before the contest
becomes valid is a gross injustice.
I do not know l^ow many students
turned in essays about the motto
this year, but suppose even the
number was below the required
12 and one of them was a master
piece, another Shakespeare. What
then? Suppose one essay this year
is better written than any in the
past W years, but it will not be
judged simply because there are
not enough students entering.
I propose something be done
about this situation and different
r^uirements be set up instead of
the present numerical qualifica
tions.

New Books
At The Library
By WALTER GRAY
College Librarian
Report from down under. Better
get out yoar Maugham and start
practicing. The rain forest has def
initely shifted to our once idyllic
ole south’n scene. If you don’t be
lieve it you should come listen to
the gurgling sounds emanating
from the reading room. Or per-
haps it is just the new slang, in
any case, the noises produced are
practically the same.
I write because I must. That is
to say, not from some great and
romantic “creative impulse” but
rather, from the very real pres
sures of a very active and some
times annoying editor. So, out with
the items — one, two, three.
One — How to study by Clifford
Morgan. No one really needs this
but we thought it woiuld be nice to
have on hand. Followed by Th
Art of dating by Duvall arid wind
ing up with Letters for special oc
casions by Egner this should say
something about human nature and
human endeavor.
We’ve just read David Duncan’s
Private world of Pablo Picasso,
Wonderful pictures, wonderful text,
wonderful description of what it
might be like to be a person. Just
arrived also is another of Gunther’s
“Insides”. This time it’s Inside
Inside Russia today and the re
views were good.
Harry Ashmore’s Epitaph for
Dixie should be helpful im ascer
taining some of the basic ques
tions that concern our region. Con
trary to what is generally :believed
the book is not primarily about the
race question. M^x Lerner’s Amer
ica as a civilization is a stupen
dous study of American culture and
should help to tell us why we are
as we are.
We have just bought an oldie
which has been one of my long
time'favorites — a collection of the
writings of Thomas Love Peacock
called The Pleasures of Peacock.
For pure humor it is hard to beat.
Two items in the area of politi
cal science may interest you: The
Soviet system of Government by
Hazard and The Organization of
British Central Government 1914-
1956 by Chester. We have long
needed some clean-cut works in
this area.
A few others of interest: Shakes
peare’s four giants by Coles; Poe,
a critical study by Davidson; Eu
gene O’Neill’s A Touch of the poet;
Music before the Classic era by
Stevenson; Philosophy of education
by Phenix (we hope not too fre
quent); Books for our time by
Marshall Lee.
And, as the old folksong goes,
“If you want anymore you can
sing it yourself”.
Library Records
Must Be Cleared
Atlantic Christian College stu
dents failing to clear their library
records by the end of the week
wiU not be allowed to take final
examinations.
Walter Gray, College Librarian,
today urged all students to clear
their records as quickly as possi
ble.
Dr. R. B. Cutlip, College Dean,
said the records will be checked
and students still having books out
will not be allowed to take exams.
DANCING

residents of Wilson attend the ex
hibitions each year. The public is
invited again this year and no ad
mission will be charged.

mings for the boys.

box which will have a selection oi
the latest tunes. Admission is 50
cents drag and 35 cents stag.
