^ MARCH, 1955 the voice PAGE FIVE NOTICE!! As the result of a discussion in class and several oral requests that students write to the Voice staff and express their opinions concerning school problems, Mr. Jordan would like to acknowl edge the receipt of such a let ter. However, because the let ter was unsigned, it could not be published. In spite of this, the problems presented in the communication will be given due consideration at the first opportunity during a regular faculty meeting. The letter showed careful thought and composition as it presented the problems quite unemotionally and indicates that the writer is capable of independent action. DELTA XI NEWS We, the members of the Delta Xi Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, began the year with many interesting and infor mative activities for the college family and the community as a whole. With the ending of the Second Quarter we had witnessed another successful Jabberwock. We then began to make final plans for the remaining activities. Our an nual Easter Seal Drive was an other big success this year, and Delta Xi is grateful to all who helped to make this drive a suc cess. We are joining with people all over the United States in ur ging you to support this project again next year. On April 17, Soror Lelia Thomp son, president of the Delta Xi Chapter, left to attend the An nual Convention of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., held this year on the campus of Temple Univer sity, Philadelphia, Pa. Upon re turning, Soror Thompson had many interesting and informative M T •, T., .experiences to relate to us; and iNJuise l.ila Flowers, a member of although the experiences were vic- tne college staff for the past seven arious, we enjoyed them all years, will depart for Kaisertant- ern, Germany, in June.

(Continued on Page 3) found myself improving and the pupils responding better than I had thought they ever would respond. To me, that meant that self-evalu ation, along w’ith luelp from others, —if taken in an optimistic manner —can really bring about improve ment in an individual. I learned also that moods are contagious, A bad mood taken in to the classroom warrants but one thing and that is bad results and responses for the entire day. To (alk about these things in the Cur riculum Development class at shcool is one thing, but to face the real issue in tlie classroom is al together another situation. Bad moods taken into tlie classroom can bring about a most embarras sing experience for the beginning tcacher. When I first went into the class room to teach. I thought tliat po liteness would demand the respect of the pupils and secure the re sponses that I wanted from them. L.ater, when problems of a disci- plinai’y nature arose that I had to solve myself, I found that I had to cast part of that “brilliant” idea into the sea of oblivion. In other words, I discovered that one can not have a set way to deal with all problems in the classroom but must be flexible and versatile in his thinking and actions. All that I learned was not learn ed through my own experiences as t.he teacher. A great deal was learned thi'ough ob.servation of my ^Htbising teacher. The expression "A new 'broom sweeps clean, but an old broom knows the corners” became very meaningful to me during my period of observation prior to teaching. Many helpful methods were learned by just sit ting and watching the lessons be ing developed through the use of various methods of teaching. Student teaching supplied me with a wealth of experiences that I shall never forget. If I should have it to do over, I would again be helped tremendously. Nurse Flowers, one of the most active members of the staff at Fay etteville. is well-liked by students and staff members foi’ her activity among them in the interest of bet ter health. The name “Nurse Flow- ets is uttered on the campus and in the nearby community where theie is a sick bed. It was she who organized the campus Red Cross unit that aids the sick oh the campus and at Fort Bragg in many ways. Her advice was sought in the planning of the new campus infirmary, just completed. Of it she says, “It is modernistic in design and in convenience.” “I love Fayetteville better than any place at which I ever worked,” she said. “Everybody was sweet and cooperative.” Nurse Flowers makes her home in Raleigh. She is a graduate of St. Agnes School of Nursing in ■= -.to kjcivicTO. ourui Raleigh, and is registered in theiT„„„;^p, State of North Carolina. | Jennie D. Tayloi, a former mstruc- The girls were entertained at a “brunch” where there was singing ,of rounds, solos, duets, and trios. There were some piano solos, too. After the “brunch,” pictures were taken of the group. Beginning Sunday, May 1, Delta Sigma Theta, Inc., began the ob servance of May Week. Members of Delta Xi began their week by gram. Soror Lucille Fields, an outstanding senior, was the speak er, and Soror Marlene Pittman did a beautiful rendition of the solo “The Lord’s Prayer.” Soror Pitt man was accompanied at the piano by Soror Madeline Black. At four o’clock the same day, the college family and fri- • from the com munity assemblea in the auditori um for Vesper Services. Soror m EDITH WALKER (See story, page 3) tor here, was the speaker. The Delta Ensemble sang. After ves per, everyone was invited over to the recreation room of the new dormitory for a reception in honor of Soror Taylor. Delta Xi wants to congratulate all seniors who are graduating; however, we are sorry to be losing four of our members. They are Sorors Doris Batts, Lucille Fields, Anne Glover, and Barbara Powell. Good luck, always, girls. Delta Xi is about to bring to a close another school year, but we are looking forward to a better and more successful year based on our ideals of compassion, courtesy, devotion, fellowship, fidelity, jus tice, frankness, purity, and tem perance, and the principle of. ser vice to mankind.
