Gerald C. Patterson, a
1967 F. S. C. graduate,
was named “Teacher of
the Month” by the staff of
THE FALCON, Seventy-
First High School’s stu
dent paper.
Mr. Patterson is one of
their fine biology teach
ers and is very well liked
by the students and
faculty. Mr. Patterson
is beginning his second
year at Seventy-First
and he “digs” teaching.
Mr. Patterson was
born on April 19, 194?
(he wishes this date to
be kept secret) and was
reared right here in Cum
berland County. He went
to Anne Chesnutt High
School. As a child, Mr.
Patterson had “fun” as
he put it. During his
high school days, he par
ticipated in basketball and
baseball. In his senior
year, he was captain of
the basketball team. Mr.
Patterson was also in The
National Honor Society
and sang in the chorus for
four years. Mr. Pat
terson was second in his
graduating class. He then
went on to conquer Fay
etteville State College,
majoring in biology. He
played baseball for one
year and was in the col
lege choir for two years.
After college, Mr. Pat
terson went to Seventy-
First. He hopes to go
back to college and do
post-grad work and may-
be “pick up” his M. A.
There at Seventy-First
Mr. Patterson is sponsor
of the Photo Club. Last
summer, he worked as
dormitory director at
Fayetteville State Col
lege.
When asked what he
thought of Seventy-First,
Mr. Patterson replied,
“It’s a great school; one
of the best anywhere.
Seventy-First is growing
rapidly in academic
standards and in athletic
powers.”
Mr. Patterson’s hob
bies include a lot of read
ing and he enjoys all of
the major sports. He
also goes “wild” over
soul music, especially
Aretha Fraklin and Percy
Sledge.
I’M WAITING FOR CHRISTMAS
BY LEON DOCKERY
I’m waiting for Christmas
At the very brink of time.
For now the soul’s uplifted
That here my friends I find.
What merry day, what merry day
Shall come to be this tempest.
Now pray for me is my request
That Christmas meets me at my best.
For I’m to render bongs'of
A hallowed speech at my mentor’s word.
Though neicher such have you heard.
But what is rendered you’ll enjoy.
Listen to hear a Christmas chorus
Singing songs of angelic deeds
Of Jesus’ birth for his master's pleasing.
Though really for the sake of us.
Born on that good, good day.
Bring to him of recitations
I say to children down my way.
Be first to make your presentations,
for the hour is getting late.
BUILDINGS
hovering near the earth,
and sleek cornices and
bright sandstones inter
spersed to blend with the
spreading veranda-like
entrances and steps. The
latter two, bold and bulky
in the manner of Gothic
stuctures are marked by
their unique-reddish grey
bricks, tinted with sand
stone etchings and Ger
manic windows, the for
mer enabling them to
blend faintly with Ro
senthal and Chesnutt.
The buildings reflect
the new F. S. C.’s pro
gress in reaching for
higher standards, better
teachers and methods.
