EXPOSITION PRESS has just published Fruits of Enduring Faith by James A. Felton $3.50 per copy This timely book dramatizes the human issues lying behind the passage in 1964 of the Civil Rights Act. It is the story of a courageous World War II Marine veteran and the formidable difficulties he met in trying to free his family and all people from their built-in racial prejudices that gave rise to segregation, inequality, heartbreak and bloodshed. (Continued from Page 1) over this one Annie Bass took the scene with “Only Those In Love." Next came the Rocking Vikings w'ith soloist Sonny P. Penn doing “Mary’s Little Lamb.” The Vik ings then took over with the Wal lace Brothers’ “Lover Prayer.’’ Si lence fell among the audience. The JC’s, Dorothy Sherrod, Doris Dug- gins, Geneva Peanort and Joan Smith came out with the Troys’ “Lovers Concerto." Thomas Evans tried to bring the audience back to this dimension with “Good Times." After all these heart touching songs, Albert Turner, a great comedian, brought in a few jokes to get some laughs. Mr. M. S. Walker showed us what it is like to be a drummer. He was sinrply great. “Stony" as he was called used to play with such groups as The Expressions. The Doorlettes came on with “There’s No Other Like My Baby.” The girls couldn’t take it. If you think a boy can take any thing, you’re wrong. You should have seen them while Joanne Fitz gerald opened their hearts with “Any Old Time of the Day” and “House Without A Home.” Annie King broke out with just what they i needed, “Rescue Me.” When Doro- ^ thy Sherrod came out with “Stop! I Look What You’re Doing To Me” I and “Love Makes You Do Foolish j Things,” 1 was told that they had I to take one boy completely out. i Joyce Grantham set silence as I she sang “Down The Aisles” and “Wish Someone Would Care.” The Expressions took over with “The Way You Do The Things I To You.” ! The last number was rendered ' by the band. If you missed this exciting talent show, I know you’ll never miss another. MISS ECSC". BESSIE CARR; PRESIDENT WALTER N. RIDLEY. In AAemory of J.F.K. Dr. Rose Brown (Continued from Page 1) Youth Counselor at the Mount Vernon Baptist Church. Dr. Brown is an articulate, in formed, and masterful orator and well qualified to speak on the American Education Week theme, “Invest in Learning.” She stressed the necessity of being prepared in todays’ competitive world, and emphasized the need for those per sons investing in learning to ac quire, absorb and develop the ad ditional knowledge which will per mit them to be head and shoulders over those who are not fortunate enough or who do not have the op portunity to secure this additional and advanced knowledge. Other participants on the pro gram were Sandra Trotman, 65 SNEA, who recited ‘‘A Prayer for Teachers;” Carol Ashe, 65, Kappa Delta Pi, who introduced the principal speaker; Mr. Bal lou who entertained with an organ selection of “Toccata;” and Mr. Andrew Hamlett, who explained the principal purposes of Ameri can Education Week. Another outstanding feature of the pro gram was the performance of the Elizabeth City State College Choir in their rendition of the spiritual, “My Lord What a Morning,” under the direction of Miss Evelyn A. Johnson. Those who were not present at this assembly program, certainly missed an invigorating experience. Cadet Teachers— Where They Are D. F. Walker (Edenton) Joyce S.

The tolling of the church bells peal And the echoing clops of a prancing steed. In memory of thee, O, J.F.K. II I can see the grim procession go Down the street from the White House door. An occasional glitter of a caisson wheel, I The trail of a flag draped cortege I weave I Laden, heavy with thee, O, J.F.K. III I can hear the echoes of thy spirited voice Resounding the rights of free men which thou didst proclaim. Of civil liberties for minorities in this our land, To the most distant corner of the Communist band. Echoes of thee, O, J.F.K. IV I see the precision of an honor guard perform With race, creed, and color unknown, Of soldiers, sailors, coast guardsmen marines Unmolested, unsurpassed, uninterrupted, unafraid. Symbolic of thee, O, J.F.K. V ' 1 hear the roar of aircraft above I The bellowing thunder of the cannon’s salute, j The distant peal of a bugle’s repose That all is well and within the fold. Well with thee, O, J.F.K. VI I I can see the rays of an eternal | torch aglow j Over the head of a grave on a ; distant row, The stern erect form of a military lad Signaling to all that the torch has been passed, In memory of thee, O, J.F.K. —By James A.

The programing was designed to acquaint students w i I h other countries’ people and customs as well as to celebrate the 6th birth day of the Lighthouse. So Much Noise (Continued from Page 2) but there should be an end to them. ' Why let them continue throughout a performance? A performer wants to know that his audience likes him, but we should think about the fact that someone else would ; like to know what is happening on the stage. The majority of the audience enjoyed the show, but there was that minority that could have en joyed it if the college audience had conducted itself in a more appro priate manner. Teachers Meet At E.
