Parker Gets Fisk Alumni Honor Barnes Chosen Miss H’coming ^ j ^ 1 • J_T_ _ ^ IM 11 In a recent election the NCCj student body elected an attrac tive junior, Betty Barnes, aS “Miss Homecoming” for 1960. Runners-up in the election were Janet Wilkerson, a junior from( Fayetteville, and Katherinel Feemster, a senior from Win^ ston-Salem. Betty, crowned by President Elder during the half-time acti vities of the NCC-Union Home coming tilt, is majoring in Psy chology and minoring in French.' Besides working in the dining hall, Betty has been active in the Dormitory Council, th^ French Cliib, and the Psycho logy Club. When asked to reveal her hobbies and philoisophy of life Betty stated that her favorite hobbies consist of dancing, and, of all things, reading murder) mystery stories. On her philoso-j phy of life, Betty says, “One gets out of life what he puts into it; happiness is not gained at the expense of someone else’s un happiness; and there is no indis-i pensable man.” She also be-j lieves that one should study hard while in college, but should also allow some time for recre ation and hobbies. On NCQ Betty remarks, “NCC is a won derful school with a great deal of potential, and the students are genuine, warm-hearted peo ple. Library Set Up Fabulous Fashions In New Dorm It is interesting to note that the last dormitory erected at NCC is the first to have estab- ‘ lished a library. Although pro positions have frequently been made to establish libraries in several of the existing dormit tories, the occupants of the New Residence Hall are the first to have made a working library a reality. The ladies apparently were( determined to' use the book^ shelves that the architects had thoughtfully provided. After the idea of the library was intro duced and approved during open house at the new struc ture, the House Directress, Miss Beatrice Brown, enlisted the aid of the college librarian, Dr. Benjamin Smith, to secure the necessary volumes. Several of the students volunteered to serve as librarians in their sparq time. When Cynthia Smith, a junior, checked out the first book, the New Residence Hall Library, established and operat ed by and for the occupants, was officially in operation. (continued from page 2) reddened browns. The color combinations are a quiet color leagued with a hot one. For an example, a deep green coat paired with a bright red dress or a hot pink over a, black one. There are many new styles in shoes. The most stylish are the sweater tops, the tri-tie, styleze moderne, and pirateer. The sweater top is a boot shoe with a knitted material matching the shoe turn-down over the top. The tri-tie is a lace-up boot with a wooden heel. The styleze mo derne, which is also a boot, fea tures a side zipper, a wool lining' and rubber soles. The pirateer, yet another boot, comes in extraj bright colors, has wooden heels, and also folds down at the top. All of these boots are water re pellent. The tall and short girl are both quite attractive in tunics and short skirts. The boat-^ necked sweater matched with the pleated skirt is a good com bination and makes fashion news. Professor James E. Parker, di rector of the Audio-Visual Cen ter at North Carolina College, has been named “Alumnus of the Week” by his alma mater* Fisk University of Nashville, Tennessee.

Marie Poston In an interview with one of the many new additions to NCC’s faculty, this reporter waa fascinated with the accomplish ments of Mrs. Rachel Chester Roth. Born in Washington, D. C., Mrs. Roth majored in art at Hood College, Maryland. Rachel Roth’s work has been exhibited at the Museimi of Mo dem Art in New York City, in, Washington, D. C., Maryland, Iowa, Illinois, New Mexico, Texas, Norway, and the North Carolina Museum of Art. In ad dition, she won an award in, 1959 in the North Carolina Mu seum of Art Annual Exhibition with her painting “The City”. Ini 1960, She exhibited paintings ini the Himter Gallery Annual in, Chatanooga, Tennessee; thef Painting of the Year Competi-i tion, Atlanta, Georgia; and the Southeastern Exhibition in At lanta, Georgia. In North Caro lina her paintings have been exhibited in the Winston-Salem, Gallery of Fine Arts and the Chapel Hill Art Gallery in 1959-60. Mrs. Roth studied painting with James Lechay and printH making with Mauricio Lasansky at the State University of Iowa. Later she studied with Gabor Peterdi as a scholarship student at the Yale School of Fine Arts. One of her “intaglio” prints( which was selected to be shown in the Young Printmakers’ exhi bition at the Museum of Modern, Art in 1954 has traveled all over the world. Some of her drawings were published in the South At lantic Quarterly. Mrs. Roth received the MFA degree in 1953 from tiiie Stat University of Iowa. She at tended Columbia University and received .a master’s degree in Library Science. She was Li brarian of the Trent Collection in the History of Medicine at Duke University from 1958-60, and is currently an instructor of Art at NCC. Like many creative people to day, Mrs. Roth and her husband. Jack Roth, also an artist, have developed other skills which guarantee freedom from the tra ditional artist’s struggle. No longer true is the old picture of the painter starving in a garret for his art. Mr. Roth is working toward a Ph.D. in Mathematics at Duke University. The Roths have two daughters, Krissy, 10, and Lin, 8. Thft children, her husband’s studies, and Mrs. Roth’s work assure a busy life with painting, experi menting, exhibiting, and con-y tacts with other artists crowded into their remaining time. NCC is proud to have such a talented and efficient young lady join its staff and tips its hat to her many great accom plishments.
