Inauguration Impressive
So our first president is now officially our first presi
dent and the long awaited inauguration ceremonies are over.
It was an occasion that was well used. The various speakers
had much to say to us as students and to the many class
es that will come after us.
The thoughts expressed by the principal speaker, Dr.
Goodwin C. White, were indeed interesting and worth deeper
thought. He stressed the importance of symbolism in every
experience in life. For each of us this has a different mean
ing. He particularly mentioned the symbolism of this aca
demic occasion — the cap, the gown, the colors in the hoods,
and the colors of the tassels “hanging from the mortar
boards.”
Greetings were brought to Dr. Moore by speakers rep
resenting many groups and organizations throughout the
state. The Governor of the state spoke for the alumni re
minding us of the unity of the alumni even though
they have come from different schools. Dr. Warner L. Hall,
Moderator of the Synod of North Carolina, brought greet
ings from this organization. Dr. Hall was heralded as a man
who has “kept the faith” during all these years of planning.
Dr. Price H. Gwynn spoke for the faculty. Perhaps the most
fitting greeting was brought by Annie Duke, president of
the student body, speaking for the student body. She said
that we had had many trials this year but along with these
trials there had been the triumphs. For the students to have
a part in this first inauguration, she exclaimed, was indeed
a triumph for us. Dr. William C. Archie, Director of the
State Board of Education, brought greetings from this Board
and from the many state-supported colleges that he repre
sents. Hector MacLean, Chairman of the Board of Trustees
and presiding official at the ceremonies, read a telegram
from President John F. Kennedy and a letter from St. An
drews University in Scotland.
Dr. Moore said much that will be remembered in his
presidential address. Even in spite of the threatening and
occun'ing rain, he managed the situation quite well. The
phrase that will perhaps be remembered longest by the au
dience, and the phrase that really seems to suit St. Andrews
best of all was his quoting that we were “To say hats off
to the past and coats off to the future.” This seems most
applicable to us in our situation. We stand in a great heri
tage of the past. On one hand while we glory in this heri
tage, we must constantly remember that we must face the
future with a desire to work and progress. This means that
we must be willing to “take our coats off to the future
so we will be able to work and give our all to furthering
this college where we are proving that “the intellectual
and spiritual are not incompatible. They merge nicely. They
cross fertilize each other.” Dr. Moore’s complete faith in,
and dedication to God were evident in every word that he
spoke. The audience came to appreciate him more as a man
who has completed placed his life in the hands of God and
who is obviously being used in His service as president
of our college.
All in all it was a well-spent morning. There was really
nothing new that could be said on an occasion such as this,
but we feel that the many speakers did an excellent job of
expressing their thoughts. It was a carefully planned and
expertly conducted ceremony that shall long live in the
memories of those attending.

for her graduating recital, April 20.
Graduation Recital To Be Presented
Friday By Hargarel Ann Nartin
Miss Margaret Ann Martin vorite hobby of hers. Consid-
will give her Senior piano re
cital on Friday evening, April
20 at 8 in the Liberal Arts
Auditorium. This recital is a
partial fulfillment of the re
quirements for the Bachelor of
Music Degree.
Before entering FMC Mar
garet Ann studied piano for
11 years in her home town

.While attending FMC last
year Margaret Ann was presi
dent oif the St. Cecilia Music

For those who do not know
Margaret Ann personally she
can best be described as the
‘“always pleasant, smiling girl
in the bright red coat”. This
past winter when nothing else
was visible through the rain
and fog one could always see
her on the opposite end of the
causeway in her ibrilliant red
coat. It was like the sun shin
ing on a rainy day.
Members of her suite will
long remember those folk
songs echoing from her room
in the wee hours of the
morning. iFolk singing is a fa-
ering that the rooms are hard
ly large enough for a grand
piano, Margaret Ann doesn’t
mind too much for she accom
panies herself on the Dulci
mer and guitar. Another hob
by of Margaret Ann’s is writ
ing poetry which she loves to
do When the time and mood
are right.
Margaret Ann was selected
for Who's Who in American
Colleges and Universities and
tapped into the Honor Society
this year at St. Andrews.
Besides piano being her num
ber one interest in music, she
especially likes her composition
class and feels that this class
fulfills her creative impulse.
For her recital Margaret
Ann will perform: Bach, Pre
lude in E Flat Minor; Beethov
en, Sonata in F Major, Op. 54;
Brahms, Rapsodie in B Min
or, Op. 79, no. II; Kabalevsky,
Two Preludes, Op. 38 and the
Liszt Concerto in E flat Ma
jor with Dr. Vardell at the
second piano.
After graduation in June
Margaret Ann plans to contume
into graduate study and event
ually hopes to teach in a con
servatory of music.

recital Margaret Ann will be
honored (with a reception in
the Foyer of the Music Build
