Winooski Park, Vermont — A

at Elizabeth City, N.C., will cap
tain the volunteers from St. Mi
chael’s College who will work with
promising Negro pupils there
again this summer.
Gary B. Kulik, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Stanley Kulik, 29 Bartels St.,

nated as the captain of the six
man team that is volunteering six
weeks this summer. A dean’s list

The announcement came from
the Rev. Moses B. Anderson,
S.S.E. Father Anderson, a member
of the Theology faculty at St. Mi

larships for higher education.
Last summer, at the invitation of
the Elizabeth City Improvement
Association, six students went
with Ft. Anderson to the North
Carolina City. Living in the rectory
and using .the parish school, they
tutored some 60 boys and girls
from the four counties around
Elizabeth City.
They specialized in English and
Mathematics. Fr. Anderson said
that the pupils were nomi
nated by the guidance officers at
the schools and that he has re
ceived many favorable reports on
the value of the tutorial sessions.
He spent the Easter vacation dis
cussing plans for the second year
with officials at Elizabeth City.
The students on campus, mean
while, are making arrangements
to raise money to cover their ex
penses.
