"Arts and Crafts Workshop”,
taught by Mr. Bishop Patterson,
chairman of the Industrial Arts
Department, and students en
rolled in graduate clasa of ECC,
taught by Dr. Anne IJenderson,
chairman of the Modern Lang
uages Department at ECSC.
The art work presented was
of the type that would be bene
ficial to elementary school stu
dents. The posters and charts
on display represented some
"it happened again.” So the out
door dining became indoor din-
ing.
But, the second try was suc
cessful. On Thursday, July 21,
outdoor dining was outdoor din
ing all the way.
Students, faculty, staff and
families of faculty and staff
members, enjoyed dining together
under a clear blue sky.

Booster Students Report
by Sylvia Jones
On July 28, the Boosters
made a tour of Williamsburg,
Va. There were a number of at
tractions which made the trip
enjoyable and educational.
The first place of major in
terest visited was the first
House of Burgesses. We then
saw the "gail” or "jail” as we
spell it today.
Many of us were thrilled to
have walked and sat where fam
ous lawmakers such as Patrick
Henry, John Clay, and Thomas
Jefferson once walked and sat.
The greatest attraction for
most of us was to view the out
door drama, "The Common
Glory.”
The day was summed up as
one to be remembered and as an
activity of the Booster Program
to be remembered.
When our advisors told us,
at the beginning of the summer.
Chain Scholarships
Available
to Needy Seniors
THE CHAIN SCHOLARSHIP
FOUNDATION is currently a-
warding Scholarships of up to
$1,000 to enable needy students
to complete their college edu
cations.
If you are a senior in need of
funds; if you plan to seek em
ployment upon graduation rather
than undertake a post-graduate
curriculum; if your grades are of
degree candidate status; and if,
when you are able, you will help
CHAIN support future needy stu
dents, -t YOU MAY BE ELIGI
BLE.
THE CHAIN SCHOLARSHIP
program has been in existence
for four years, and is available
in over three hundred colleges.
Its approach to the scholarship
problem is unique in two major
concepts: faith in the average
man; and faith in his integrity to
assume a moral, rather than a
legal obligation, and thus be
come a vital link in a chain re
action which can grow to pass
along an endless continuum of
help from those who were once
in similar circumstances.

SCHOLARSHIP, write directly

about the many plans that had
been made for us as Booster
students, we were quite excited.
The many plans included a
trip to the Outer Banks of North
Carolina. We were originally to
go to Mission 66 and to Kill
Devil Hills. But because of un
expected changes, we were un
able to go to Mission 66.
However, our tour of Kill Dev
il Hill was more than enough to
make up the loss. We visited '
historical points there and en
joyed the sand and water and all
of the sights that nature has
provided there.
At the close of the afternoon,
we settled down for a big cook-
out.
Our day of educational and
enjoyable activities at the "Won
derland of the World” came to a
close, and the "Booster Com
pany” returned to ECSC safely.
