Her favorite hobbies include collecting old coins, working puz zles and deep sea fishing. MRS. MYRTLE SAMPSON Did you know that we have a person on our faculty who can teach biology, science, mathe matics, or psychology, and who can also serve as a librarian? We do have such a person. This she is Mrs. Myrtle Sampson. Serving as an instructor on campus in psychology, and library science, Mrs. Sampson has a long educational history behind her. She graduated as valedictorian of her high school class and re ceived her Bachelor of Science degree in biology with honors at North Carolina College. At this same time she had minors in li brary science and general science. Mrs. Sampson also received a masters degree in library science from North Carolina College, and a masters degree in psychology and education at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. She has further studied in social psychol ogy and special education at A&T College, University of Michigan, and the University of North Caro lina at Greensboro. Her occupational experience in cludes being an instructor in biology, mathematics, and science, and serving as a librarian. Also she has served as the Assistant in Guidance-Counseling Institute of the Public Health Department- North Carolina, in Durham. “I feel,” Mrs. Sampson says, “that working here at Bennett is very rewarding and that the students seem to show a signifi cant amount of interest in their work.” Applauding the close and informal relationship between the faculty and student-body, she says, “it is not detrimental.” “In fact”, she states, “it greatly aids the instructor in evaluating the students individually.” COUNT YOUR MANY BLESSINGS On Thursday morning, Novem ber 26, the dining hall of Ben nett was once more alive with the festivities of the annual White Breakfast. Mingling with the love ly white dresses of the Bennett students were the dark suits of the Morehouse College Glee Club. There was an aura of genuine thanksgiving and appreciation over the dining hall. The prelude was given by Miss Eloise Franklin, a sophomore. The grace was given by the Rev. A. K. Stanley of Bennett College. Every one then began to enjoy the won derful breakfast prepared. The menu consisted of a half grape fruit with cherry, Canadian Bacon and Scrambled eggs, grits, hot biscuits and butter, strawberry preservesj coffee or tea. Greetings came from the More house Glee Club president, James Williams. The Thanksgiving spirit was enhanced by the ap propriate selections by the visit ors. Dr. Willa B. Player, president of Bennett College, gave timely and well-received remarks. The “good ole” Bennett spirit was ushered in with the singing of the “Preference” song by Miss Bar bara Hammond, a senior. “Tell Me Why,” another Bennett tra ditional song was sung by the Miss Joyce Dunn, Bennett Col lege Choir president Solemn, moving, melancholy, | exhilarating — who can describe the emotions invoked by the sing ing of the Alma Mater? There are no words to describe what was in the hearts of the girls as they pledged to be “true to thee while life shall last.” As the girls filed out of the dining hall, there was written on the face of each, “this was a break fast to be remembered.” Many thanks and appreciations go to the girls who helped to make this event possible. They were the YWCA officers and mem bers. The officers are; President, Carolyn Conway; Vice President, Alice Williams; Secretary, Eva Rice; Treasurer, Claudia Hubbard; and Program Chairman, Donna Offutt.

From all of the organizations on campus, a very Merry Christ mas and a Happy New Year are extended to all of Bennett’s stu dents and faculty. Poetry Corner ON DEATH Toils are ever present in this relm Seemingly there is one element of hope beyond—old arrogant death where we may abide in a performance of glee. Sorrow prevails the universe that No one has apprehended the great darkness So that it can be ever sure of the later effect of the perished. This realm is nothingness and depleted for when a spark of light is shone it is immediately relinquished in to the infinite mist iaraway in the doom of aU other helpless beings. For if toils are constantly amidst us and the only fighting assurance is what darkness holds If that holds no clue to under standing of this existence perhaps we have to await another.
