PAGE FOUR THE NEWSLETTER MARCH, I960 WITH THE GREEKS Dr. Lyons Negro History Week Speaker In observance of Negro History Week, Sigma Rho Sigma, Honor So ciety presented Dr. Charles Lyons, acting Dean of the college. He ad dressed students and visiting high school participants in the typewriting contest during the regular assembly hour. Dr. Lyons stated that any week can be regarded as Negro History Week because Negroes are making history every day. Negro History Week serves to emphasize and to call attention anew to the fact that the Negro is and always has been very much a living part of American history. Emphasis was placed on the fact that those who have gone before us and those who are today making out standing contributions to the develop ment of this country have set a course for us to follow which is going to re quire on our part sincerity of course, dedication, and a willingness to as sume responsibility; and even to make sacrifices of some of the pleasures which we might otherwise enjoy. “The noblest thing that we can do is to so live and work that those who have gone before us and have blazed the trails and built the roads and bridges will not have done so in vain,” said Dr. Lyons as he con cluded his address. Mrs. Eaton Gives Book Review The Dear and Glorious Physician by Taylor Caldwell was reviewed by Mrs. Estelle Eaton on February 21 at Doles Hall. Mrs. Eaton discussed the three parts of the book: (I) Lucanus during his boyhood (2) His life in medical school (3) His writing about the Gos pel. In the first part Lucanus brought back life to his half brother. He found out that he had been ordained by God from the beginning of birth. The second part told of Lucanus married to his profession. He was an artist, and the people wanted him to work in the field, but he told them, he was born to be a medical doctor. Later, he met Sarah, and they fell in love at first sight. Sarah took him to visit the father and when he got there, he learned that Sarah’s father was sick mentally. (His young son had been taken from him.) He asked Lucanus to search for him. The boy had a bent finger, that could be used as identification. In the third part, Lucanus record ed the gospel. He cured a woman from leprosy, and he also cured once again his half-brother, by praying for him. After looking for Sarah’s brother for 20 years, he finally found him. Lucanus conclusion was “Sure ly, God is Good.” Thalia Sorosis Club The Thalia Sorosis Club sponsored a closed affair in the Recreation Room Friday night. February 26, 1960 from 8:00-10:00 p. m. The members of the club had a happy evening together, enjoying dancing to lively music, playing games, eating and chattering. The table from which the buffet supper was served was beautifully decorated in green and yellow. Chicken salad, crackers, cake, pimch and ice cream were served to all. Mrs. Thomas, the club advisor, made brief remarks. The evening was full of fun and most enjoyable. Each year hours of this kind are shared by the young ladies of this or ganization. Through these activities and many others, they seek to pro mote finer womanhood on our cam pus. SNEA Cannot Work Alone The permanent projects of the P. W. Moore Chapter of SNEA are: supplying substitute teachers for nearby schools and assisting with the recreational activities at the Cale Street Youth Center. Each project is beneficial and educational to the members of the chapter and the com munity as well. Now that the first group of off- campus student teachers have re turned. S N E A is ready to initiate its project of supplying substitute teachers. Criteria have been set up for the selection of those members. The chapter is eagerly looking for ward to placing those who quahfy into the nearby schools, because it is felt that this project offers addi tional training and experience for stu dents who have shown potentialities of being good teachers. It is hoped that each member who is eligible will be granted this opportunity. “The cooperation of the principals of nearby schools is needed for the success of this worthwhile project.” The work at Cale Street Youth Center has been enjoyable and very successful thus far. The coopera tive participation of the members of the chapter has been greatly appre ciated. It is hoped as members move forward, SNEA can work out a better program for all. At present, there is growing in terest among the young men in their assisting with recreational activities at the Youth Center and it is believed that with their help a better program can be worked out for the boys at the Center. The projects of S N E A will flour ish as members continuously work together. Band Activities On February II, the band had its "Sweetheart Party” in the Recreation Room. This was a gala affair. The recreation room was decorated with hearts and chains of red and white paper and a large Cupid in the center of the room. To show Miss Cooke how much they really appreciated her guidance in the band, they gave her a beautiful Cigaret Case and Lighter. The menu included cookies, ice cream, cokes, peanuts, and Valen tine Candy. Everyone had an en joyable time.

New Students Welcomed On February 1, the Social Com mittee sponsored a social hour in the Lighthouse for the purpose of ac quainting new students with the facul ty and student leaders. President W. N. Ridley extended greetings to the new students and faculty members. He said, “We have here a college small enough to provide a satisfactory education, as well as a sufficient education. By your coming here you have suggested that you want to become a directed individual.” Then emphasizing the importance of learning as he continued, “Learn the things that are in the courses of fered. Learn to be the best person you can be. You would have wasted your time, if you leave this college reading and writing as you did when you came here.” Ruby Brown and Inez Jones, Jun ior Counselors of Bias Hall, served punch and cookies. The new stu dents and faculty members enjoyed the occasion. Lights When I go to bed at night. I fall down on my knees; Oh, Father, help me see the light, Guide me. if you please. Give me a little star To guide me through the night: Help me, O precious Lord, To do right in thy sight. Give me light that I may see The right path in this world: Give me sight that I may view The Crusade's fight and its banner unfurled. —John Wesley Jordan ^ Zeta's Neophytes The Alpha Gamma Chapter of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority was reorgan ized recently with two charming neo phytes: Ella Roberts, Edenton, and Yvonne Hare, Winton, Ella Roberts, sophomore, is an ac tive student on our campus, holding membership in the Thalia Sorosis Club and the Ushers Guild.

An Enriching Experience When one enters college and choos es his profession, he looks forward to the time when he can do his practice work in his chosen field. That is the way it was with me. During my junior year 1 began special courses in education, v.'hich taught me some of the procedures one should use to get effective results in teaching children. Student teaching itself is nothing new, but it was a new experience for me. Previously I had had vicari ous experiences in the classroom, but when I began my work 1 got direct experiences and was left almost on my own. As one author has stated, “The area of experience enriches one’s life: therefore each individual has the opportunity for healthy, happy liv ing,” 1 agree with him, for during my student teaching with the col lege family and my associates in Murfreesboro, I received much en richment in the field of education. There are many problems I have to face before I can truthfully say that I am a good teacher, but I must say, I learned to recognize my weak nesses, and gained considerable growth and progress in the field of education while doing my student teaching at Riverview Elementary School in Murfreesboro. May I say, like the broad and mighty river that grows even wider and deeper as it flows toward the sea, that I feel that the knowledge gained in student teaching was an ex ample of the smallest part of the river and that my knowledge and ex perience will continue to grow broad er and richer as I move on into the future as a classroom teacher. —Marion Marie Jenkins Spring Training Spring Training for all of those who wish to play football will begin March 7. It will consist of hikes of four miles in both morning and af ternoon for conditioning purposes. It will also consist of basic defensive and offensive maneuvers which will give the coaches a scanning view as to what is needed most for the up coming season. —John W. Jones , Pan-Hellenic Council In Fellowship Hour The Panhellenic Council recently sponsored a world fellowship pro gram with Miss Vivian Sharpe, Mr. J. Toles, Mr. E. Smith, Mr. J. K. Jones and Dr. Eaton as panelists. An introduction of panel members was given by Miss Shirley Whitaker, and the audience then listened very attentively as the speakers expressed their feelings about world fellowship as well as their foreign visits. It was stated that travel has a good effect on fellowship because one gets to know and meet people. While trav eling abroad he sees enormous num bers of poverty-stricken areas. In the markets the Jews sell stars while the Cathohcs sell crosses. The American visitor is expected to buy. for it is believed that there are no problems in the United States and that Americans have plenty of money. Slides of life of Korea showed many scenes of importance to col lege students and portrayed ideas, habits, customs of the Koreans, The program was very interesting. It helped to give a good impression about going places.
