PAGE FOUR THE VOICE MAY, 1962 Have You Noticed? JIave you noticed the work being done at the southeast end of the Smith Athletic Field — directly to the rear of the Lilly Gymnasium? Four all-weather tennis courts of regulation size are being built. An other addition to FSTC. Bring your rackets when you return, kids! A great number of baseball fans don’t know that they owe the tra ditional seventh-inning stretch to a kink in a Presidential back. It seems that when William Howard Taft was President he got that kink in his back at an opening game in Washington. So he stood up to work it out. Everybody, thinking the President was leaving, stood up too. And that’s how a baseball tradition was born. “How’s Smith doing in the high jump? Any good?” “Naw, he can hardly clear his throat.” Athletic Banquet The Fayetteville State Teachers College Broncos were guest at the Annual Athletic Banquet on Friday, April 27, in the H. L.

A large crowd turned out in the 80- plus degree weather to witness the exciting meet. Trophies were awarded to: Fay etteville State, first; Livingstone, second; and Elizabeth City, third. Ribbons were received by track men finishing first through fourth, relay teams included. “Well, son,” asked the father, “how are your marks at college?” “Under water,” was the cryptic response. “And what do you mean by that?” persisted the parent. “Well,” said the son reluctantly, “they’re all below C level.” Summer Leisure (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) magazines are edited to amuse rather than to improve the jaded mind of the casual reader. In addition; most books (about 80 per cent) that circulate from libraries are fiction, although the number of biographies, books of travel, and books of science that a-e read for pleasure is increasing each year. The radio and the mo tion picture are, for the most part, devoted to entertainment. Each recreation takes the form of physical activity. For young people athletics fill an important place in the recreational program. Many people develop hobbies which provide recreation. Some collect postage stamps, coins, In dian arrowheads, stones or shells, old books, photographs, or other objects. Any hobby may have con siderable recreational value. Many of the things that people call recreation do not re-create. Recreation may be constructive or destructive. Constructive recrea tion leaves a person with a better mental attitude, a clearer mind, a higher purpose, and a greater effi- ciency than he possessed before. Destructive types of recreation leave a person less efficient men tally, morally, and physically. Rec reation that takes the form of drinking, the use of drugs, or de bauchery of any sort is not real recreation; it is of doubtful bene fit. Strive to gain the greatest pos sible benefit from YOUR summer leisure. During exams at college, the stu dent was having a difficult time with the economics exam. A par ticular question had him complete ly stumped and, after considering it for some time, he finally pen ciled a notation below the question, which read: “This doesn’t ring a bell.” When he received his exam pap er back, the professor had written directly below the student’s note: “Ding Dong — Page 258.” ■ Spartans Invitational The FSTC Track Team partici pated in the first annual Norfolk State Invitational track meet (col lege and high school), at Foreman Field in Norfolk, Va.
