Elaine Mitchell, instruc tor in English at the Fayetteville State Teachers College, spoke be fore the institution’s English group on Tuesday, March 2 from the topic, “An Approach to the Work in Sub-Freshman English." She discussed the whole business of leading the poorly-prepared student to recognize his own short comings and of his using the class and the teacher as means of im proving his facility in accurate, clear-cut written and spoken Eng lish expressions. “A great deal depends upon the student’s atti tude,” she said. Miss Mitchell was educated at at ’ersity. She resides at 535 jxw jell Street in Fayetteville.

SCHOLARSHIP DRIVE (Continued from Page 1) Ward Seabrook, President of the institution, the college has enjoyed a banner year. It is currently in the midst of a huge building and renovation program, and this year it became a member of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Associa tion. Again, the institution was recently admitted to membership in the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, an accrediting agency of national scope. College Choir Is Busier than Ever The College Choir, under the di rection of Miss M. E. Terry, is busier this year than ever. It has made several appearances in Fay etteville—Winslow St. U.S.O., Ray Ave. U.S.O., Friendship Baptist Church, for State Teachers College Day and at some outstanding clubs at Fort Bragg. The choir has given concerts in several other towns: Sanford, Warsaw, Rocky Point, and Wil mington, N. C. Several engage ments are yet to be filled. The choir is looking forward to an out-of-state tour to Washing- a'M'gfc—York. The following officers were elected for the year 1953-54; President Robert Hopkins Vice-President John W. Jiggetts Secretary Doris Leigh Pridgen Asst. Sec. Wilhelmina Newkirk Treasurer Joyce Delaney Student Council Repre sentative Verdell McLaughlin Parliamentarian Alma Walker The choir wishes to salute Miss Lorna Pitt, our accompanist and junior, who is doing a wonderful job at the piano. VATfS (AITS) She: "Would you like to see where I was operated on for ap pendicitis?” He: “No, I hate hospitals.” He; “Who’s that dame with the ugly face?” Him: “That’s my wife.” He: “Lovely figure.” A candidate for the police force was being verbally examined. “If you were by yourself in a police car, and were being pursued by a desperate gang of criminals in another car doing forty miles an hour on a lonely road, what would you do?” “Fifty,” promptly replied the candidate. Prize letter: “Dere Sirs: Please send my money back. After taking six cans of your corn syrup my feet ain’t no better than they wuz.” He: “So he cheated you out of $50,000, huh?” Him: "Yeah, he wouldn’t let me marry his daughter.” LENTEN NOTES As our paper goes to press, we the students of Fayetteville State Teachers College, find ourselves in the midst of a great preparation period. What does the Lenten sea son mean to you? A harbinger of spring, a chance to show off spring finery—or do you think of it as an opportunity for spiritual growth? The 40 days of Lent are short enough for an annual revival of our soul. Preparation is needed for any achievement. A good ex ample of this is found in training rules for athletes. According to 2 Timothy 2:5 (R.S.V.), an athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. A famous runner last year failed by seconds to break a world’s record, and the experts were agreed that he had neglected an adequate warming- up to limber his muscles and get his lungs and heart functioning to full capacity. If this Lenten season is to mean to us what it may, we must at the very beginning prepare ourselves in humbleness of spirit. This is certainly one meaning of Ash Wednesday. There are often deeds or dispositions in our lives that need utter elimination, the purging of any ignoble vessels in the great house of our spiritual habitation, reducing them to ashes and ob livion. So Lent begins with that note. The Young Women’s Christian Association, alert to the needs of the students spiritual life on our campus, is conducting a short Len ten service five night each week in the new auditorium at 7:00 p. m. We want YOU to share our Lenten programs with us and help us to keep our thoughts in right propor tion, to remind us of our junior partnership with the Almighty. Mr. Jordan is Speaker At English Group Meet Mr. Werner Jordan, instructor in English at the Fayetteville State Teachers College, was the speaker at the February meeting of the English group. He talked from the topic "The Value of the Block System in Teaching Freshman English.” A lively discussion followed Mr. Jordan’s formal presentation. WORTH-WH I LE Is it worth the while— this endless toil from dawn to dusk each day? Is it worth the while— each sacrifice, each hard- earned coin they pay? Sometimes the way is dark and long; Sometimes all hope is lost. But carry on, you can’t be wrong, It must be worth the cost! —HARRIETTE LOCKHART FACULTY ADDITIONS WM X- Mr. C. Powell and Miss E. Mitchell, two of the many additions to our faculty and staff this year, enjoy a few moments of relaxation together between classes. Fine Arts Dept. Sponsoring Exhibit The Fine Arts Department of Fayetteville State Teachers Col lege is sponsoring the final exhibi tion of the year.

The Art Department is happy to share all thefee exhibitions with the students by having certain pro grams in th^ chapel instead of ex posing them\ exclusively to class groups. F. T. A.
