They were Dr. Charles Gray, Mr. Jesse Huff, Mrs. Rebecca Nail and Mrs. Shirley Manigault. They presented their poems to an adequate number of profes sors and interested students. The poetry reading was begun by Mrs. Manigault. Her first poem was about poetry itself. She read other poems such as Richard Cory by Robinson and John Doe Jr. by Overstreet. Mr. Huff was next on the program. He did poems on Black identify which the audience especially liked.

The audience enjoyed this selection and showed the approval by loud applause. Mrs. Nail changed the pace of the program a bit by introducing sonnets. She told the audience that there were three powers to which we owe sonnets. They are love, life, and death. She proceeded to read sonnets from each one of the collegiate camouflage s U R 0 Y E V R U S K 0 0 B Y u R R 0 W E I S E I R P R A T R E P E E K K 0 0 B 0 0 K R N V D R N M T T C 0 D T E N B A R N I A S M 0 E 0 C N E R E T E E N I J U A S A J A I L R N M T T R E V I R D K C U R T U R R T 0 L I P U G K L S M E 0 A A S T 0 0 G N L 0 E u I G C F B S S R E K A B N R L T D C R E u I R E Y W A L G P S U A U J H H N E W M E G Y M I J C U C U C R G W I S I M E H C T D R E H C A E T I B A K E L 0 G A P I L 0 W R E I N I R P N Can you find the hidden occupations?

On the theme of death the sonnets included, If We Must Die by Claude Mckay and the Tenth Holy Sonnet by John Donne. Dr. Charles Gray was last to read his poems. They were a group of poems all about cats which Dr. Gray said was one of his favorite subjects. The first poem he read was The Naming of Cats by T.S. Eliot. The poem stressed the point that a cat should have three names, first the name the family gives him, then a particular name for the cat’s ego and lastly the name the cat gives himself. Other poems about cats included Rum Tug Tugger and The Addressing of Cats. After each of the partici pants had given their individual readings of poems they gave a joint reading of poems by Edger Lee Master. The program was a great success and the audience seemed to enjoy it immense ly. The presiding members of Sigma Tau Delta English Honor Society were Miss Beverly Blackwell, Miss Cheryl Brandon and Miss Frances Simmons. Cheryl Brandon Blacks Displeased Continued from Page 2 critiques were correct. In light of this hazy announcement and position by the Justice Department, we are urging all citizens of conscience to write or visit Mr. Bell to take a more positive stand and communi cate to North Carolina’s Governor James Hunt to take some immediate execu tive action and stop this ridiculous waste of the taxpayer’s money. As far as we are concerned, the constitution of this country is a farse as long as the Wilmington 10 remain in jeiil. with his family and get the support and understanding that a black man needs. When Walter is finally trusted with the remainder of the ten thousand dollars, he lets it slip right through his fingers. Having made secret plans with one of his so-called business partners to invest the money in a business deal, the partner skips town with money which totaled over sixty-five hun dred dollars. The other family members are shocked by the news and Walter is furious and guilt-ridden for his own stupidity. Inspired by the prospect of moving into a home that they can call their own, the Youngers are able to collect the shattered pieces of their final move, however they soon learn that they must overcome another obstacle. The house purchased by Lena Younger is located in a white neighborhood whose fione, reputable citizens want to keep it that way. The Youngers are offered a check exceeding the amount of the deposit to change their minds about moving into the white neighborhood. Walter attempts to carry out the deal and accept the check, but Mama Lena intercedes by reminding him that the family had always been proud, and that to do such a thing would confirm the attitudes of whites that they were not good enough to move into the white neighborhood. When the family is revisited, they confirm their decision to move, and they do so. The play was very good, to say the least. It appeared as though the characters could identify with the script and truly understand how the Youngers felt. The cast can only be “Hailed” for their splendid performance. The quality of the play, and the talents of the members combined to re-create a moving account of a real-life situation that the audience could identify with, and truly understand. The intensity of the drama was of such nature, that it not only reflected in the expresions, and actions of the cast, but it was projected to the audience which consisted of students and citizens from the community. The group and their director can be commended for their superb performan ces which were entertaininga nd enticing.
