numerous dropoffs."

Massie Speaks
To Summer
r
School Group
Dr. Samuel P. Massie, presi
dent of North Carolina College,
discussed the obligations of
citizens and institutions in the
Great Society as he delivered
the principal address at the
college's summer session as
sembly Wednesday June 16.
The assembly, held in the B.
N. Duke Auditorium, is the
only one scheduled for the
summer.
Speaking on the obligations
for education in the Great So
ciety, Massie said that Individ
uals must Inquire. "For value
received —that is, for the choice
of a good lif-e—what do we
promise to pay?' 1
First ,he said, there is the
obligation of the individual,
who should make extra effort*
toward personal and intellect
ual development
A special obligation ii also
placed upon thcee who teach,
he continued. "You have a spe
cial opportunity and responsi
bility, for the students of this
generation—the students whom
you teach—havo the greatest
opportunity for service that
any generation of Negro youth
has ever had "
A third group facing special
obligations, he stated, consists
of schools and colleges, and a
fourth comprises the state .and
the nation. "The passage of the
greatest appropriation for edu
cation by the federal govern
ment In the history of our na
tion, the large appropriation by
the General Assembly—all tes
tify to the awarenesa of the
great needs of education.
"But, there U an increasing
awareness of the value of edu
cation, and we must property
utilise these opportunities, or
the Great Society will be mean-
Ingles* and just a beautiful
phnat," he added.

Although some parents might
shudder at the thought of hav

Charles A. Saylor who with her
husband accompanied the girls
to Daytona Beach, says she has
enjoyed bringing up her four
girls. The only problem she
said, was that all growing pains

The Saylors adopted the
quads in 1956 when the girls'
parents were no longer able to
care for them.
Another problem has been
protecting the quads from pub
