Student of the Issue
"Marvelous" MARVIN TROTMAN
Marvin Trotman, a senior from
Princeton, New Jersey, has been
chosen Student of the Issue because of
his outstanding achievement in athle
tics and his growth as a gentleman.
Marvin, since his freshman year, has
achieved many goals particularly in
the Basketball World. As a member of
the basketball team, he set a CIAA
Tournament record with 45 points his
freshman year. In his sophomore year
he was chosen a member of the All-
CIAA Basketball Team. During his
junior year he was one of the leaders
in scoring with a 27 point average per
game. He is currently the leading scor
er in small colleges in the nation with
32.9 average per game; and also is
le of five players chosen for the CI
AA Tournament Poster.
In addition to his athletic achieve
ments, Marvin has consistently main
tained a respectable academic average.
With exception to his athletic achieve
ment, his most noticeable feature is
his growth into manhood. As a fresh
man he had a tendency to be playful
and was often misunderstood; now
he is a serious, dedicated gentleman
of whom all S.T.C. can be proud. He
1 active member of the Crescent
Club.
At present he is doing his student
teaching in the Pasquotank Elemen
tary School. His future plan is to play

animous vote of the coaches. This is
i crowning achievement for our
‘Marvelous” Marvin Trotman.

and also the daughters of the late Dr.
P. W. Moore.

of the Founders
The annual Pilgrimage to the graves
of the founding fathers: Dr. P. W.
Moore, Mr. John H. Bias, and Hugh
Cale was the second event of the Day.
A short service was held and floral
tributes were given. Wreaths were
placed on the grave of Hugh Cale by

Dr. P. W. Moore by his daughter,
Mrs. Bessie M. Wesley; and the grave
of Mr. Bias by Mrs. Agnes H. Jones.
These ladies were accompanied by

Dr. H. L. Trigg Delivers Address
The Founders Day Excerdses were
held in the auditorium at three-thirty
the afternoon with Dr. Walter N.
Ridley presiding. The service began
with an organ prelude “Our Father in
Heaven”. Prayer and Scripture were
offered, and the College Choir ren
dered Glarum’s “God Is Our Refuge”.
From the Alumni, greetings were ex
tended by Mr. Calvin Paschal; and
from the Students by Mr. Nathaniel
Moore. After the singing of “The
College Hymn”, President Ridley
made a statement of the occasion and
then introducted the speaker Dr. Har
old Leonard Trigg.
An enlightening and informative
address on the advancement of the
College and present opportunities and
obligations was presented by Dr. Trigg
who is now a Professor of Education
Livingstone College, Salisbury,
North Carolina; and also a member
of North Carolina Board of Educa
tion.
‘Striving for freedom is not a
hazard”, the speaker told the audience
he began. “Students must meet the
world’s demand for self-realization”.
He emphasized that civil rights and
liberty provide an atmosphere in
which we grow as citizens of a great
democracy.
As Dr. Trigg continued, he de
clared that the government cannot
: all of the needs, that each in
dividual must go forward with an
awareness of this fact. “We are on
the frontier of human relations, and
must meet the demands of leader
ship for the world.”
In conclusion, Dr. Trigg advised
students to strive for a personal excel
lence that constitutes integrity, if
they would meet the demand for
world leadership.
