)e initiated soon for boys and girls,
'lease support this movement ... I
hould like to congratulate the cheer-

folk State in Norfolk, Virginia, they
vere there cheering like mad in al
most freezing weather. This is only
one of the many instances ... To all
lennis hounds — courts will be con
structed soon in the Bias Hall area.
. . School spirit is well represented
It the basketball games. Keep up the
5ood work . . . Maryland is the king-
?in of Negro Football. They have won
Iwenty-three straight games . . . Do
rou know Althea Gibson or George
Stewart? Have you ever heard of
hem? No! No! I shall not tell you
A'ho they are or what they have done,
jook them up . . . The most recent
idditions to the basketball team of
S.T.C. are William A. Henry of Beau-
|brt, N. C., and Ernest Brown of
lipring Hope, N. C. Keep your eye on
'ihem for they are adding much need-
(d competition to the squad . . . When
'lanipton launched its season here,
here was a six-foot-eight lad with
hem. His name is Raiford of Florida,
tie is young, unpolished, and a fresh-
iian. Another season of hard competi-
live ball and Raiford will be dange
rous to all foes . . . Xmas is almost
here, and many presents will be given
and exchanged. To each of you, I
tvish a very Merry Xmas and a Joyous
Mew Year. When you return to S.T.C.,
be more determined to participate and
to study . . . Till then. I’m yours,
—Joshua H. Crumm.
If your lips would keep from slips
five things observe with care;
To whom you speak, of whom you
speak, and how, and when, and
where.

In Pre-Season
Freshman Randolph Tootle Quite
Impressive In All Contests; St. Paul,
Hampton, and Union Victors.
On December 4, the Pirates of S.T.-
C. took a jaunt to Lawrenceville, Vir
ginia, and lost to St, Paul 61-57. Ran
dy Tootle collected 24 points to help
the Pirates but to no avail.
The following night, December 5,
Hampton came to Elizabeth City and
went away with a 63-36 victory. Cap
tain Brown of Hampton kept his boys
intact with his superb ball handling
and accurate shots. For State, Randy
Tootle, Frank Henry, and Ernest Da
vis starred.
On Saturday night State played
host to the Virginia Union “Panthers”
of Richmond, Va. Union’s smooth
machine functioned nicely, gathering
most of their points around the key
hole. Zeke Clements, the diminutive
ball handler for the “Panthers”, zipp
ed for only five points, but he really
played a bang-up game otherwise.

QUOTATIONS
Those who discriminate against
their fellow men because of race or
creed suffer themselves because no
one can withhold normal human rights
from anybody and have peace in his
own soul.—Elma Roper.
While there is a lower class I am in it.
\\'hile there is a criminal class 1 am
of it.
While there is a soul in prison I am
not free.

KINDNESS
Have you had a kindness shown?

Let it wipe another’s tears.
Til in Heaven the deed appears—
Pass it on.
