You Have It, We Need It
In its May, 1952 issue, the
COMPASS asked the student body
for news of its doings and its organi
zations. The only change between
then and now is in the name of the
paper. Then it was the “Newsletter”
now it is the “Compass.” The news
is still hard to come by.
How about not being “too busy”
to tell your student newspaper about
YOUR activities.
Sometime
Sometime, when you’re feeling
important.
Sometime, when your ego’s in bloom,
Sometime, when you take it for
granted.
You’re the best qualified in the
room.
Sometime, when you feel that your
going.
Would leave an unfillable hole,
Just follow this simple instruction,
And see how it humbles your soul.
Take a bucket and fill it with watei,
Put your hand in it, up to the wrist.
Pull it out; and the hole that’s
remaining.
Is a measure of how you’ll be missed.
You may splash all you please when
you enter.
You can stir up the water galore,
But stop, and you’ll find in a minute,
That it looks quite the same as
before.
The moral in this quaint example.
Is do just the best you can.
Be proud of yourself, but remember.
There’s no indispensable man.

the Davis Funeral Home. He was
a member of Golden Leaf Lodge
#142, IBOPE of W, and a life long
member of Olive Branch Baptist
Church.
In 1959, Mr. Davis established the
Hugh Cale Student Loan Fund at
Elizabeth City State College through
an original gift of $1,000. This fund
was named for the Negro member of
the North Carolina Legislature who
introduced the Bill establishing our
College. Mr. Cale was a personal
friend and advisor to Mr. Davis. The
fund furnishes loans for students
emergencies and has been used by
hundreds of ECSC students in pursuit
of their education.
By action of the Board of Trustees
taken the day of his funeral, the Hugh
Cale Student Loan Fund will hence
forth be known as the Davis-Cale
Loan Fund. This action was taken by
the Board to do honor to the memory
of John Thomas Davis.
We mourn his loss.
Faculty members and students were
entertained by Frank G. Jennings,
January 10, 1964, in the Hugh Cale
Hall Lounge. This followed his Ly
ceum lecture on the previous evening
concerning “Community Commitment
to Education.”
A former teacher and editor of the
Education Supplement of the Saturday
Review of Literature, Mr. Jennings is
now Educational Consultant of the
New World Foundation of New York
City.
Highlighting a question - answer
period after a Coffee Hour in the Cale
Lounge, Jennings provided answers
many points raised, these coming from
his lecture the evening before. Some
questions got clearer expositions than
time allowed in the lecture period.
Mr. Jennings emphasized that stu
dents should do more outside read
ing and not just read the required
books. He said, “The student should
not just say that he is majoring
one particular field, but is majoring
in college.” This means that wi
students should not restrict our i
ing to our major fields but should
explore widely outside of our speciali
zations.
