But his soul of ideas will reign Throughout the land for unity and peace, For our enslaved brothers to be released. Never in the history of this world Have human rights been so unfurled. Our thoughts for him should be enshrined For he died for the cause of aU mankind. Always when justice is prevailing Hatred and prejudice are assailing. Two vices to one virtue are at odds. Justice wil Itriumph, it is of God. But in clinging to this justice, we must “Ask not what our country can do for us, But ask what can vve do for our country.” Then our justice will become a reality. Kennedy had a remedy for this land As he was slain by the assassin’s hand. He had a remedy for hatred and strife And for this cause he lost his life. The world has experienced a great leas. Bravely, he died for a great cause. A cause for you and me, For our future and destiny. Where will we go from here? Oh where? Only God can guide us safely there. There, where Kennedy had forseen, A land of reality and not of dream. A land where aU brothers are free, A land not of dream but of reality. That was Kennedy’s idea for America, Land of the brave, home of the free. Sherree L. Crouch Kaleidoscope 82nd Band JUANITA McRAE In Conccrt A highly entertaining program, KALEIDOSCOPE, was presented '!!> the T W. Seabrook Auditorium as a number from our Lyceum schedule. This was a musical pro gram featuring Irving Barnes, baritone; Martha Flowers, so prano; Doris Galiber, mezzo-so- prano, and Garrett Morris, tenor. Tliough the program as a whole was thoroughly arousing, the aud ience — according to tempo and reaction — seemed to prefer the foUowing numbers from the first half of the program: “Let Their Celestial Concert All Unite” from Handel’s SAMSON, “Unbel Di” from Puccini’s MADAM BUT TERFLY and sung by Martha Flowers ,“An Enterprise of Mar ital Kind,” and “In Contemplative Fashion” both from THE GON DOLIERS by Gilbert and Sullivan, and “Geographical Fague” by Tach. The second half of the program was centered around excerpts from Bernstein’s WEST SIDE STORY, Alenotti’s THE MEDIUM, and Gershwin's PORGY AND BESS. There was absolutely no lack of enthusiasm for the various well- known selections from WEST SIDE STORY which included “Tonight, Tonight.” “I Feel Pretty,” “Make of Our Hearts One Heart,” and “Marie.” No less entertaining was Doris Caliber’s portrayal of the gray haired fortune-teller in an excerpt from “The Medium.” The chmax, if there can be a climax to such fine entertainment, came with the presentation of ex cerpts from the celebrated PORGY AND BESS. Here, Martha Flowers sang “Summertime”; Irving Barnes sang “I Got Plenty of Noth ing”; “Talking ’Bout Devil Crabs” was enacted by Garrett Morris, while “Strawberries” was done by Miss Galiber. This was followed by the portrayal of Porgy and Bess by Mr. Barnes and Miss Flowers who sang respectively “Bess, You Is My Woman” and “I Is Your Woman.” For an encore, the group sang “There’s No Hiding Place Down Here.” Truly, tliis was one oi the most entertaining evenings of this school year.

Nat’l Teacher Exams College seniors planning to teach will be able to take the National Teachers Examination on Febru ary 15. This date for the annual nationwide administration of tests for prospective teachers was an nounced by Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey.

Some colleges require all seniors preparing to teach to take the tests. Lists of school systems which use the exams are distri buted by Educational Testing Serv ice to colleges educating teachers. More than 400 testing centers have been set up throughout the nation for the February 15 exams.
