PAGE FOUR THE NEWSLETTER JUNE, I960 The Protester I “One donut and a cup of coffee please.” “We can’t serve you, we haven’t got the facilities.” “But you have china, and glasses, and silver galore!” “Get up wise guy, and leave this store.” II “Why are you scornful of the Negro race?” “Because all you Negroes should stay in your place.” “Stay in my place; I don’t understand. Just where is my place in this democratic land?” III Is it on the front line as in World War II? I could name many more; but that war will do. Let’s stop all this bickering and face the real fact, There’s more to this scorn than my face being black. IV Fear of miscegenation has turned you this way. But it’s been here over two centuries, and increasing everyday. I think this half-hour has been well spent. At least you forfeit a sale, and my twenty cents. V Now, before I go. I’d like to say, That I’ll return tomorrow, to just sit and pray. I’m not the violent type as you can see, Because I have Ghandi’s principle in me. America, the “Land of the Free,” exemplifying liberty and pros perity. Just a First class citizenship will be enough for me. If to passive resistance you do consent. Let this sit-down be just the commencement. I bid you, Good-day, but if you think I have lied, Take stock of the latter, and let your conscience guide. —William H.

Mr. C. W. Gregory Speaks at Tea Mr. Chester W. Gregory, Social Science Professor at Elizabeth City State Teachers College, spoke to the Social Studies Club of P. W. Moore Junior-Senior High School at a Tea on May 18. “The Social Scientist in an Age of Protest,” was the topic presented by Mr. Gregory. He stated that the young people of today can do a great deal in helping to keep peace. “I think there should be a universal pro test against the use of atomic weapons in case of war” further elaborated Mr. Gregory. Wilson Bunch, Charles Everett and Henry Pickett were representatives who attended the tea. Charles Everett is a P. W. High School graduate. Social Studies Class Visits Washington, D. C. The members of the Social Studies Class under the supervision of Mrs. E. A. Eaton had a very educational trip to Washington, D. C. on May 3. They left the campus 2:20 a.m. ar riving in Washington at 8:00. For a day in the capital city they were first class citizens. After breakfast at the Trailway Bus Station, they began their tour. The first place visited was the White House where President Eisenhower lives. From there they went to the Bureau of Engraving where they ob served some of the processes in the making of our money. The Washing ton Monument, which honors our first President of the United States was a place of great interest to the group; also the Smithsonian Institute at which one can trace the progress made by the outstanding pioneers from yesterday up to the present time. At the United States Supreme Court the class was served lunch and also taken on a tour of the building. The Library of Congress, the State Capital, Lincoln Memorial and Jef ferson Memorial were other places visited in the afternoon. The changing of the guards at Arlington, Virginia was the last in teresting historical scene witnessed. On the way back, the class stopped for a snack at Forest View Restau rant at Petersburg. At 11:00 Tuesday night the class arrived on campus. The trip was in deed enjoyed by all, and a great deal of worthwhile information was gain ed from the excursion. ^lAJindton Dr. Winston, we love you; We honor your name. No matter where you go You’ll have fame. We know that to you We’ll owe much of our success For our experience tells That you’re one of the best. To you we hail. To give what we owe We shall never fail. In a sad voice we bid “Adieu”— Staff, faculty Students, too! But always . . . always . . . To you, we’ll be true. —Clarence Biggs SNEA Closes Year With A Look Into the Future To climax the events for the year of 1959-60, the P. W. Moore Chap ter of S.N.E.A., is sponsoring a clos ed affair for its members and their guests, on Thursday night. May 19, in the Recreation Room at 9:00 p.m. With delight the organization closes the year.

Among thobc art picsideut, Ralph Glover; vice-president, Clar- rence Biggs; secretary, Beatrice De- loatch; assistant secretary, Erm Daniels; treasurer, Minnie Lowe and chairman of membership committee, Delma Moore. It is hoped and felt that these members will realize their responsi bilities as officers and help to make P. W. Moore chapter the leading chapter of S.N.E.A.; for, this chapter is fortunate to have two members who are state officers. The strength and progress of this chapter will de termine to a large extent the success of the organization throughout the state. The members feel that the job can and will be done with great success. My Questions on Racial Discrimination 1 I don’t understand; what does this mean? That my dollar’s black and the white man’s green? 2 Why’s eating out back all we know? Because we’ve always let the white, have the whole front door. 3 Why should we stand, whenever we eat . . . When we have paid the money that bought the seat? 4 Now whom do you expect, to be satisfied . . . If one can’t sit when he gets tired? 5 Why; When the North and the South once needed my race . . . Should they now want to molest my black face? 6 I now question. “Lincoln.” Was his speech real . . . Then why am 1 witnessing such a terrible ordeal? —Thomas C. Hodges Recently, the Tests and Measure ment Classes under the direction of Mr. Taylor Jackson attended the O’Berry School and Cherry Hospital at Goldsboro, North Carolina. Many interesting facts were learned by the students as they toured the school and talked with the children. A guide supplied the classes with in formation which was vital. He stated that the school was divided into two areas. There is the academic school where the child is taught to read, write and spell, work arithmetic and draw; also the school for basic train ing in which the child learns to bathe himself, brush his teeth, button his clothing and tie shoes. However, the guide stated that some children are Choir Gives Spring Concert On Sunday, May 15, at 8:00 p.m., the Elizabeth City State Teachers Col lege Choir presented its annual spring concert in Moore Hall Auditorium. The concert consisted of five sec tions with an intermission between the third and fourth, sections. “How Do I Love Thee” by Harry R. Wilson, was a selection that everyone seemed to enjoy. The Obligato voices for this selection were: Patricia Duren, Helen C. Johnson, Ernestine Murray and Shirley Sims. “The Student Prince” by Romberg-MacLean, select ed by the choral group, climaxed the entire program. Patricia Duren and George Patterson were soloists for this selection. The choir is under the direction of Miss Evelyn A. Johnson and accom panied by Miss Edna L. Davis. An Hour In Disneyland A very enjoyable hour in Disney land was recently presented to the faculty and student body by Mrs. Estelle Eaton’s Social Studies Class. The program consisted of five di visions: Fantasyland, Frontierland, Main Street, Adventiireland and To- morrowland. In the division of “Main Street,” there were two grand fathers, Henry Hager and James Pope, who spoke about how the world was changing. This program seemed to be very exciting for the faculty and student body, along with the people on the program. Student Government Elects 1960-61 Officers The election of officers for the Student Government at Elizabeth City Teachers College took place on May 4, 1960.

Curtis Bryan, our former presi dent, stood at hand at all times, to see that the election was carried out properly. He also encouraged every one to come out t6 the polls and vote. Although he is about to leave the scene as president, he says: “I would like the Student Council for the year 60-61 to be the best Eliza- non-educable and will be taught as much as possible in the building where they live. They are taught such things as how to get to the bathroom, get water and play. At the Cherry hospital for the men tally ill the classes observed patients as they sat in the windows. One of them hollered “T. C. or A. & T.” and members of the classes answered “S. T. C.” A member of the group said, “She is smart.” At the begin ning of the tour was a question and answer period, which was very edu cational. The classes seemed to enjoy the trip and were thankful that Mr. Jack son gave them the opportunity to visit the institution.

New Books (Continued from Page 1) free distribution to teachers, librari ans, and other professionals. To make so large a collection readily ac cessible, the books are grouped into grade categories and are numbered to conform to the numbered cata logue. The scope of the exhibit is indicated by the 31 subjects it cov ered, ranging from Aeronautics and Adventure to story books and trans portation; from careers and conserva tion to nature, science and picture books. Books on exhibit, a cooperative promotional enterprise of the coun try’s leading publishers, sent the ex hibit here. Its primary purpose was through the organized exhibit and the covered catalogue — to provide school personnel, teachers, and libra rians with an opportunity to examine the best of the new library books, with a minimum expenditure of time and effort, and thus make it possible for them, to do an informed and in telligent job of book selection. The general public, and certainly parents, found the exhibit of special interest and welcomed the opportuni ty to attend it. The exhibit was under the super vision of the Library staff. beth City State Teachers College has ever had.” George Kitchen, having the high est number of votes, will be presi dent for the school year 196061.
