All of us licrc make daily criticisms of the iiis'titution as a whole, or of somethin^; iicrtaininsj to it. Rnt what about oiirsel\'cs? Suppose the critic’s eye w'cre cast upon us. Ilow would we appear to the institution? If Elizabeth City State Teachers College could sjicak for it self what would it say about us in defense of tlie facilitie.s it offers us in comparison to the use we make of these facilities? \A'hat could or would the school say about the interest it takes in us in contrast to the interest we take in it? Can it be tliat tlie col lege is as ])roud of us as we are proud of it. or vice ^■ersa? \\Hiat do \ou think Elizalietli City State Teachers Coll('g(> would sa\' about us in the liaht of what we say aliout it?

Called To The Aid Of His Country .“V state of sadness and joy prevails on our campus today. One who is \ (‘ry dear to us has been called to the aid of his country. Yet his very being remains with us. The record that he mad(> during his short stay h('rc is remarkable. It is a rare thing to find one who can ca)itivate the love, friendshi]'), and esteem of e\ er>’one in his respective en\ironment in such a short time. Coach Vaughn did this. I [is congenial personality, along with liis knowledge, allowed him to exem plify all the qualities of a scliolar and a gentlcniau. Ilis extraordinary ability (o ]iut over his subject matter made going to his class a pleasure. As a true American, he went wil lingly into the service because he knew that if we are to live as a free people, oin- ideas must be upheld and proti’ctc'd. W'e are sure that he will earr>' with him the same sjiirit and personality as he exemj^lified here, and will cou(|uer all that he meets. W'e cannot find words to ex- jiress our desire to iia\e him return soon; however, with him go our best wishes. W'ith the help of Cod, may hi' return to us sah' aufi sound. Inquiring Reporter why Did You Come to State Teachers College? I came to Elizabeth City State Teachers College because I want to improve and advance myself educa tionally. I was al :o inspired by the athletic i)ro;;ram.

Eliza beth City State Teacers Colleg” seem- I'd to satisfy all of my demands, so I am liere, and I like it here very w('ll. —Cecelia E, Dowd Peabody High School I’etersburg, Virginia I was ready to begin m>' collegi' ed ucation and through my brother Dean Thomas, I found out about State Teachers College.

They ])rest'ntcd a well-balanc ed iirogram including \arieties in singing, and stunts. An o\itstaiiding feature was the interpretation of the "Lord’s Prayer” by Shirley Wallace, who luis had experience as a radio entertainer. The suiJerb saxophone playing of Alfred Marbley held the audience .spellbound and brought en core after encore. Daring stunts and a night-club ren dition of “It s My Desire” brought to a close an enjox abic evening witli the EreKhtnen MY IMPRESSION OF ELIZABETH CITY TEACHERS COLLEGE Elizabeth City State Teachers Col lege has proved itself to be the an swer to the dream of any college student planning to major in Elemen tary Education.
