Dr. Sugg Rates COA Among 'Firsts'
I)r. Woodrow B. Sugg
lauded jj the Albemarle
Area’s cbntribution of many
“firsts” from the birth of
Virginia Dare to heavier
than-air flight when he
addressed the 58 candidates
for graduation during the
Summer Commencement
exercises at College of The
Albemarle in Elizabeth City
last Friday night.
The assistant to the
president of the North
Carolina Department of
Community Colleges told
those attending the con
vocation that the first
comprehensive community
college in the state’s 57-unit
system, College of The
Albemarle, has joined many
others in promoting the
area’s heritage. “I know, as
well, that College of The
Albemarle is also making
every effort to help each
student ot become a vital
part of an even greater and
more satisfying future,” he
said. !
Dr. Sugg likened the
chartering of the college to
“a breath of fresh,
educational air” for the
community, “where the
man the man in the field, the
youth in the street and the
woman in the kitchen has
available to them a neigh
boring insititutuioiv whose
J to hlep
adults learn to build upon
the basic tools of learning,
rub shoulders with coun
selors and librarians and
teachers who care and who
possess a wealth of
knowledge, anxious to be
shared.”
He said that everyone
across the state is genuinely
proud of COA’s development
of excellence and service.
“You have one of the best
educated and experienced
faculty and staff of any two
year insitutuion, public or
private, in North Carolina;
a determined and loyal
board of trustees; a sup
portive board of county
commissioners; and a
distinguished legislative
delegation,” he told the
assembly. “The people and
agencies have worked in
harmony to produce the
present stage of the
college’s development.”
Speaking of the college’s
plans for the construction of

on Country Club Drive.
a new building, Dr. Sugg
said, “insititutions such as
College of The Albemarle
need mortar and bricks for
learning space, equipment,
books, a caring and in
telligent staff, a supportive
and involved community
citizenr-; but there is
another essential ingredient
to bring worth and great
ness to such a place of
learning. That is a group of
students who want to learn,
who want to become more
than they are, who respect
themselves and others, and
who appreciate the
sacrifices of others.”

persons have been willing to
wager than an investment in
them as students was a
worthy one. These have
included parents, husbands
and wives, brothers and
sisters and the children of
students. ‘lsn’t it great to
have these people belive in
you?” he asked.
In offering his
congratulations to the
graduates Dr. Sugg asked
them to remember two
things: “First, education
and lacarning are life-long
projects," he said. “I invite
you to return to College of
The Albemarle, and£o other
centers of learning ip the
years ahead.
“Second, people have
cared for, shared their
knowledge 4 H skills with
you, have invested in you.
Give a fair share of yourself
in investing in those others
who cone after you,” he
urged.
Norman Norfleet, dean of
instruction, presented the
candidates to President J.
Parker Chesson, Jr., and
Gerald F. White, chairman
of the board of trustees, who
conferred the degrees and
diplomas.
The Rev. Paul
Stallsworth, associate
minister of First United
Methodist Church, gave the
invocation and benediction.
