Page Four THE CAMPUS ECHO Monday, April 29, 1968 WHO IS BRUCE? By Rosita Bullock She was the epitome of a scholarly student. Everytime I passed her in the halls, no mat ter what time of day of what day it was, she briskly stepped pass me with a book under her arm and gave me a curt, but cordial hello. She often came into my girl friends’ room to discuss with them either some thing afeout calculus or chem istry. I immediately designed a pic ture of her as a “heavy” per son. Surely someone with a ma jor in chemistry and a minor in mathematics had to be either smart or a fool, in my opinion. Since then she has changed her minor to general science, not saying that it is any easier. Until this year, I had no idea of who the real Annie B. Lanier was. I first began to get the true picture of her as a result of her visits to her home girl’s room and to my room to see my roommate who is also chemis try major. Annie is from the small town of Snowhill which is somewhere near Kinston and Goldsboro. She is the oldest of a family of five. She is a senior here at N.C.C. The general sta tistics about Annie are some what commonplace. But, the first unusual thing, about her is her middle name, Bruce. I often wondered why her friends called her Bruce. I discovered that it was her given name. Her family expected a boy and they decided to give her the name of a boy. The more I got to know her I discovered more unusual char acteristics about her. Some of them are just as unusual as her middle name. / To give you a sketch of her personality, I would say that she is stubborn, very frank, devilish, and very piersistent. The crowning glory of her per sonality are her peculiarities that have never failed to either delight me or fascinate me and the people that come in contact with her. She is a person whose next move one can never figure out. She has the qualities of a unique personality, so much that I immediately thought of her as the person for a personality fea ture article. Among Annie’s many philoso phies is one that is quite inter esting, “It is better to receive than to give” which is the op posite of the old saying, “It is better to give than to receive.” Annie loves chemistry. She is always discussing with my roommate some new experi ment that she has done. She al ways says that if she has any trouble with her husband, she will just whip up some un known concoction that will eli minate the undesirable person. She is always prescribing some of her mixtxires of cough syrup, sugar, alcohol, etc. which I dare not try. When asked who she would like most to be, she replied, “Isaac Newton, because he did everything.” Now who would think of him? Although she does good work in the chemistry lab, she is known for breaking things. She has broken countless test tubes, beakers, meters, hot plates, to name a few. Another peculiarity about Annie, she will work for hours on a very difficult calculus problem and solve it; but she has extreme difficulty in adding and substracting meld in our pinochle games. Annie is never at a loss for words of wisdom for advice for others. I find them more amus ing than anything else. One of her favorite sayings is “Prayer is all right for prayer meetings, but not good for “bear meet ings.” Suppose someone were in See Bruce, page 5 SAM'S PAWN SHOP INC.

RESOURCES OVER $16,000,008.00 Member: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ‘Look Homeward Angel’ Coming The North Carolina College Dramatic Art Department pre sented its second major three-act production of Look Homeward Angel by Ketti Frings, under the direction of Ronald Spainhour, April 4 and 5. The play was centered around a seventeen-year-old boy, Eu gene Gant, played by Kenneth Shivers, growing into manhood. He is faced with many situations at his home. The Dixieland Boarding House, which causes his growth. Opposite him is the very romantic Laura James, played by Betty Boone. There are many conflicts in the play, a conflict between an overprotective mother, played by Ltiddie Cobb and her son Ben, played by Walter Norfleet, and a conflict between the busi ness-minded wife and her drunkard husband, W. O. Gant, played by George Weaver. Look Homeward Angel is a serious play full of comic mo ments witha number of warm characters. A scene between W. O. Gant and ‘the madam of the town’ sets forth one of the most hilarious moments in the play. The cast consisted of 19 char acters who are categorized as members of the W. O. Gant family or as boarders at the Dixieland Board House the home of the Gants. Because of such a large number of charact ers, Mr. Spainhour relates this as one of his reasons for choos ing this play. “This play offers a great deal of experience for students in ensemble acting, as well as for a director.” Another reason he gives for the selection IS that “the play has universal appeal for a young audience.”
