The sessions closed on Saturday evening in the form of a Delta Banquet with a speech from the national president of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Dr. Sigma Returns by Terry QuinIan Here they come, the Blue and White pledgees of Sigma. No longer are they Dogs, but now proud Crescents, future men of Phi Beta Sigma. Once again Elizabeth City State College is fortunate to have a Crescent Club on campus, and what a group they are! These sharply dressed men are under the leadership of Roy Cotton, President of the Pledge Club. Lacy McLarain provides outstanding backup, functioning as Vice President. Other offi cers include Secretary, Wheeler Pickett, Treasurer, Robert Ses- soms. Reporter; Terry Qyinlan, Photographer; Joseph Stantly, and Entertainment Committee, Charles Morgan and Larry Win- bome. It’s no wonder that everyone is saying "Wow, they’re cool man, real cool!” Instructors know the Ctes- cents well too. The Blue and White stand tall; 2-61 is the lowest average among them. That’s not bad when one consid ers the fact that the future Sigma men are active in many phases of school life such as the Tennis and Basketball teams, the Drill team, the Band, and the Compass Staff. Yes, wherever the action is, wherever the leaders of today gather, wherever men assemble to decide monumental issues, you can be sure that the Cres cents are there. Geraldine P. Woods of Los An geles, California. Representatives attending this conference from Delta Chi Chap ter were Bernadette Allen and Evelyn Ellis. WGA President Receives Appointment 1 EVELYN C.
