FEBRUARY, 1963 THE COMPASS PAGE THREE Fine Arts Festival March 22-April 7 New Features Added to Festival This Year Two new features of the Fine Arts Festival, March 22-April 7, will be presented this year. The first, of special interest to women, is a lecture- demonstration on flower arrangement by Mrs. N. H. Poulos, president of the Elizabeth City Garden Club. Mrs. W. D. Cokell will assist her in giving simple rules for arranging flowers in season. This demonstration is plac ed early in the program, on Satur day, March 23, at two-thirty, in Doles Hall, so that a group of flower lovers can assist with flower arrangements on campus. The Beaux Arts Ball, honoring all participants, is the second new feature. Usually, a Beaux Arts Ball is a cos tume party. However, this ball will be a spring semi-formal dance. Some dances will be dedicated to the honor ed groups: Band, Choir, Dance Group, Forensic Society, Players, and Com mittee Members. The decor will be designed by the classes in art, and other arrangements will be made by the Social Committee, of which Mr. John Marshall is chairman, with help from the Fine Arts Festival c mittee. Since I D cards and patron tickets will be honored at the door, this event promises to be one in which the college community can further en tertain our larger community. Fri., March 22 8:00 P.M.

Returning this season are the team’s only lettermen, Argle Whitfield, James T. Jackson and Claudie Mackey. Whitfield was last season’s standout, winning in every meet he participated. His event is the discus throw where an even better season is expected of him. He was also the leader in total points. Runner-up to Whitfield in total points was James T. Jackson whose performances were a surprise to many track personalities. Jackson’s event is the 440 yd. dash. Following Jack son is Claudie whose event was the high jump. Other members who are counted on this year and who were very valuable last year are Willie Gafney who runs the 880 yd. dash; Arthur Perry, 100 and 222 yd. dash; Jethro Pugh, shot put; Leroy Wil liams, 440 yd. dash and javelin; Otha Sydnor, shot put; Jimmy Little, jave lin; Berry Samuel, Claude Clark, Steve Mayo, Andrew Littlejohn, Joe Brown, William Streeter—Ihurdles. Brown and Streeter are former high greats from New York. The team sincerely hopes that it will be supported by the college family in preparation for its first meet on March 15, 1963. Pirates Trip Bears On January 7, 1963, the Elizabeth City State Teachers College Pirates took charge of the Shaw Bears from the begining to the end of the game. Scoring attacks, led by Spencer May field, consisted of innumerable re bounds, jump shots, and invulnerable fast breaks. The game was played optimistically by each man on the team. Their united spirit was very high and playing at its best! Coach Vaughan, a man of much strategy, substituted quite freely for a number of players. This kept a line of fresh, splendid players on the floor at all times. Tentative Program North Carolina Little Symphony Williams Hall Lecture - Demonstration Flower Arrangement Mrs. N. H.

Vaughn has achieved an outstanding record. His method of training calls for a fast balanced at tack, and he stresses good sportsman ship on the part of his players. We can all remember one of those thrilling games when, one minute be fore the end of the game, our favorite team trailed by three points. No doubt we can a 11 remember how ex citing it was to us. I wondered how members of our basketball team felt. Upon inquiring, I found out some in teresting answers. Their responses were given to the question below: If you were in a game, with one minute remaining to play and your team trailed by three points, what would you do? How would you feel? Willie Francis: “A good basketball player keeps cool; he is careful, but he is playing a more open game and taking more chances at trying to get the ball.” Richard Todd: “I don’t know, It’s kind of hard to say. My first objective would be to get the ball.” Spencer Mayfield: “If the other team has the ball, the main objective is to not to foul him, but to get the ball. If you can’t get the ball in any other way, then you foul him; but fouling is your last alternative. You could try to trap your opponent in a press, so that he would have less control over the ball.” Brady Johnson: “If we had the ball, I would have two things in mind: first, we would try to set up, so that we could put a good man 'in position to drive for a three-point play; second, make the other team foul. Actually, with that I would feel confident.” Frank Neal: “If we had the ball, I would want to go down and make a good quick shot. If we made the shot, or even if we didn’t ve would press and hope to steal the ball. If we would not get the ball, I believe it would be better to foul and take the gamble.” Claudie Mackey: “Always feel that the togetherness of your team will bring the victory. Play this way re gardless to time and score.” STUDENT PRAYER And now as I sit down to study I pray the Lord I won’t go nutty And if some how I learn this junk I pray the Lord that I won’t flunk And if I die before I wa^e Tomorrow’s test I will not take. (Flunking Student) —Paul A. Cash, Jr. mes Williams: “Well, I don’t know how I would feel. I suppose I would be scrambling for the ball, but thing I would not do: I would not get excited.” Gary Stubbins: “This is really rible feeling, because at this point, it is hard to tell what might happen. You feel it can go either way. Edward Robertson: “If we had the ball, I would not do what many coach es would do. I would go down court, I would have my best man to drive for a three-point play. As soon the ball went out of bounds, I would press.” Among the most valuable a basketball squad is the trainer. This person is often overlooked; yet chores range from massaging to telling jokes. Entrusted with this most valu able job is Alvin Kelly, a junior in physical education . . . Kelly is able to get much closer to the player be cause^ he, himself, is a student. I asked him what reward or satisfac- he gets from the job, and his re ply was, “I get satisfaction in being considered a part of the te£ being able to help the fellows, when they are at a disadvantage, ,to reinstate themselves. A person in my position considered the coach’s right-hand man.” And that is the latest round-up of the sports world here at ECSTC. Faculty Notes (Continued from Page 2) government and industry. Mr. John R. Maben attended The Southern College Personnel’s 13th An nual Conference at Marriott Motor Hotel in Washington, D. C., Novem ber 4-6.

Alumnus Recognized (Continued from Page 1) and vegetables, little p r o t e i n-rich foods, no milk, and all of the food that it could eat that was rich in carbohydrates. At the end of six weeks and four days, Jolita looked almost twic large as Chita. Chita’s fur looked dull and thin. When the experiment started, both rats had thick glossy fur coats. The experiment showed the children that it pays to drink milk and eat the right foods. Many types of learning were perienced by the children. Among these were: the balancing and reading of a gram scale, the reading and writ ing of decimals, and the writing of poems and summaries.
