and it is quite convenient.
2. Do you find the students here
at F. S. C. different from those

No, the students at Fayetteville

students are very friendly and very
thoughtful. They appear to want
to learn providing you make them
learn.

I did a portion of my undergrad

A rash of homecoming activities highlighted the annual, gala
affair as the Broncos fell victim to a J. C. Smith rampage, 42-0, and
the lovely Miss Cora Ray reigned as Queen.
November 6 through 11 was proclaimed spirit week here at
F.S.C. by the cheerleaders. Each student was given a badge with the
Broncos slogan, “Beat Golden Bull” on it. A pep rally was held in
the auditorium Wednesday at 12 o’clock.
On Wednesday evening, the Miss Homecoming Coronation was
held in the Lilly Gymnasium, which included the reign of about
fifteen queens. Thursday, was set aside as Slogan Day. Friday Novem
ber 10, Homecoming eve, was when things really started. The Broncos
and all their fans staged a large pep rally and funeral service for
the Bulls in the college auditorium, after which they joined together
at the bon-fire on the athletic field. The pre-dawn dance was held in
the Lilly gym at 4 o’clock A.M. Saturday. A large number of old,
former and transfer Broncos were present.
Prior to the game, the parade advanced slowly downtown Fay
etteville Oh! what a picturesque site to see. The parade started from
Ann Street and moved from Person to Hay Street. It was a large
parade which included decorative floats with queens and bands.
The floats were of exotic colors and designs depicting scenes of
various activities and organizations of the college. They added much
color and variety to the parade. Some Bronco fans stated that it was
.one of the most colorful parades ever executed by the college.
' A contest was held after the parade to judge the best decorative
float. Bryant Hall won first place.
It was decorated in deep blue and
pink accented by pink flowers. Miss
Bryant Hall was dressed in her
royal blue outfit which added much
color to the float. Second place was
given to the kindergarden associa
tion of Fayetteville and third place
was given to the sophomores of
Harris Hall.
The entire homecoming festivi
ties were broadcast by the dis-
jockeys of WIDU radio. The final
event was the homecoming dance
in the Lilly Gymnasium on Sat
urday night. The weekend marked
an occasion for a reunion of mem
bers of President Jones’ family and
the alumni witnessed and enjoy
ed the activities.
SITTING IN
By MATTIE COGDELL
JOAN CORBETT
Dr. Corbett and Mrs. Monroe are
currently acting as heads of The
English and Business Education
Departments for Mr. Clark and
Mrs. Black who are studying for
advanced degrees.
Dr. Joan Corbett is acting chair
man of the English Department
this year upon the absence of Mr.
Edward D. Clark. She received a
Bachelor of Arts Degree and a Mas
ter of Arts from McMaster Univer
sity, Ontario, Canada. She did re
sidence requirements for the Ph.
D. at the graduate school of Colum
bia. She completed requirements
at Auckland University, New Zea
land under a Fulbright Fellow
ship for her degree is in English Li
terature and language. She has had
visiting scholar privileges at Co
lumbia and Harvard. She received
a grant from Virginia for a sum
mer stay at the British Museum in
London.
Dr. Corbett has had seventeen
years of teaching experience. All
of this has been done on the col
lege level. All of her work has
been done in the south except
three years that she was in Ohio.
She was in Richmond for nine
MRS. BEULAH MONROE
years and in Texas for one. This
is her fourth year at Fayetteville
State. She has been certihed as a
copy editor for the Metropolitan
Printing Industries, New York. She
has written a history of New Zea
land fiction and she is now
working on a critical study of the
satirical novels of Aldous Huxley.
Dr. Corbett seems optimistic
with her new job assignment for
this year. She said that she was
carrying on Mr. Clark’s administra
tive duties with the help of Mrs.
M. H. Scott. She seems to find her
job interesting but by no means
new. She said that she had much
rather teach than be an adminis
trator. She still seems to find
plenty of time to spend with the
students. She said much that she
wanted off the records, but this was
for modest reasons.
Mrs. Monroe is a native Fayette-
villian. She did her undergraduate
work at A. & T. State University
and has had graduate study at
New York University and North
Carolina College at Durham. She
has taught for sixteen years, thir
teen in public schools and three
on the college level. Asked about
her new duties, Mrs. Monroe said:
“Acting as chairman of the Busi
ness Education Department, has
proved to be a very challenging
experience. It is both an opportu
nity and responsibility to investi
gate, correlate, and coordinate
quality learning situations, which
are so essential to the future aca
demic life and career of our busi
ness education students.”
“The Business Education De
partment is one of the fastest
growing departments in the school,
according to a recent report.
Realizing the tremendous task be
fore us, members of the depart
ment have joined hands to do the
very best that we can to meet the
needs and interests of our stu
dents.”
“We believe that if the splendid
cooperative spirit we have received
in the past, continues, we will be
able to persist until such time when
Mrs. Black, who is away on leave,
returns to resume the chairman
ship.”
