Coronation Ceremonies Very Impressive
Large Graduating
Class This Summer
Several Expect To
Get Master's Degree
The summer graduation
convocation, taking place on
the evening of Friday, August
20, will be one of the largest
and perhaps most colorful occasions of its kind in the history of the A. and T. College
Summer School. Fifty-two persons are expecting to be tas-
selled and hooded for the bachelor's and master's degrees.
The speaker of the evening
will be Major L. P. McLendon,
member of our Board of Trustees. The Baccalaureate sermon will be preached by Dean
A. D. Beittel of Guilford College on the Sunday preceding
the graduation ceremonials,
August 15, at 4:00 P. M. Both
exercises will be held in Richard B. Harrison Auditorium.
Class Day exercises will take
place Saturday afternoon, August 14, at 7:00 o'clock in Harrison Auditorium.
Mr. Brooks Temporarily
Replaces Dean Gibbs
Professor A. Russell Brooks,
Chairman of the English Department, was named as Acting Dean of the Education and
Sciences Department and Director of Summer School to
replace Dean W. T. Gibbs, who
towards the end of June took
over his duties as Educational
Director of the Specialized
Training and Re-assignment
Unit of the United States
Army here on the campus.
Poll of Opinions on
Post-War Conditions
A representative of The Register contacted the members of
Mr. Wise's Negro History class
for their opinions on post war
conditions among Negroes. Two
questions were asked: I) Is the
war bringing about any changes
in your work? 2) Do you think
that the Negro race will enjoy
any permanent benefits from this
war?
The following are some of the
answers to these questions:
*
1. "I don't think the war will
affect my work very much. However, I do believe it will be affected a little on the economic
side. There will be a demand
also for the best prepared teachers."
2. "Frankly, I don't think the
Negro will receive any benefits
from World War No. 2. We have
only existed on promises. World
War No. 1 didn't benefit us, but
certain promises were made. The
same thing will happen after this
war. Our gains now are only
temporary and after the war conditions will be the same for the
Negro, if not worse."
Mrs. N. H. DeBerry
*
1.    "Will the war bring about
any changes  in my work? The
changes that should materialize
after the war should be of advantage, in that there1 are certain
^defects in the educational set-up
that have caused the government
to spend money that could be
used otherwise."
Mrs. N. N. Powell
Fall Enrollment Forecast
Favorable
Judging from the large numbers of requests for catalogues
and the many applications which
have already been received, it
looks as if no one thinks that
the Army has taken over at this
College. One can be pretty sure
that when September 15 comes,
there will be a large number of
green Freshmen taking placement tests and participating in
other orientation activities. And
a couple of days later the old
students will be coming in perhaps in something like droves.
One of the proof readers observed that he had seen a lot of
green backs in his life, but never
a professor green back. (See
fifth column; that is, opposite
side of page.)

2. "I do feel that the Negro
race will gain after this war. Our
boys are in this war up to their
necks, and they have had a
chance to witness many horrible
sights. They are fighting side
by side with the white boys, eating and sleeping together, and
dying together. When our boys
come home, they aren't going to
accept all the inferior things that
they have accepted before. It is
going to be a hard and long fight,
but I feel that they will obtain
that for which they fight."
Sadye E. Howard

2. "I feel that there will be
some gain after the war for the
Negro but he must start now in
order to accomplish such because after World War I the Negro was promised a number of
advantages which he did not receive. I feel it was because he
did not demand them or try to
make the white man see that he
was really interested."
L. Carroll
1. "I feel sure that many
changes will be made in the educational set-up after the war, because some of the changes are
being made now. Already, it
has been discovered that there
are many fallacies in our present
educational machinery which

Arnieze Ramseur Crowned Miss
A. & T. of Summer School
The campaign for the title of Miss A. and T. of the Summer School terminated on the night of Wednesday, July 14,
with the coronation taking place in the Richard B. Harrison
Auditorium.
Mrs. Arnieze Ramseur of Winston-Salem brought in three
thousand seven-hundred votes, while Mrs. Suella Hayes of
Greensboro ran a close second by selling three thousand six-
hundred thirty-one votes.
The candidates, accompanied by their escorts, proceeded
to the platform to the strains
of music played by Miss Arabia Bunn of Goldsboro. Mrs.
Veda Spellman Stroud superbly served as narrator, announcing the arrival of the attendants as they entered—arriving by first one aisle and then
another.
The first to enter was charming Mrs. Suella Hayes, wearing a blue taffeta gown with
gold accessories. Miss Nannie
Erwin of Morganton followed,
dressed in an attractive powdered blue marquisette gown.
Around her neck Miss Erwin
wore a string of pearls. Mrs.
Flora Battle Davis, wife of W.
E. Davis, of this city, sported
a powdered blue gown of marquisette with its sweetheart
neckline trimmed with lace.
Mrs. Helen Hannon of Tryon
wore a powdered blue marquisette gown daintily trimmed with bows. A triple string
of pearls was about her neck.
Miss Suda Exum of Farmville
was garbed in a maroon, trimmed white, taffeta gown with
panelling of white and maroon
at the back. Stately Miss Margaret Corbett of this city wore
princess styled gown of sky
blue romaine crepe trimmed
with imported ecru lace. Her
accessories were of rainbow
shells and a corsaare of sunburst yellow. Mrs. Naomi Newby Powell of Tarboro was
gowned in a delightful shade
of pink lace and net. Petite
Miss Elaine Boney of Goldsboro blended her gown of rose
waterwave taffeta with rose
and black accessories. Designer Miss Hazel Dowels of Lenoir wore a white gown softened by many flowers. She carried a pink kerchief. Mrs. Ro-
wena O'Neill of Morganton
wore a gown of pink — the
bodice of taffeta and the skirt
of net, blended with soft blue
accessories. Mrs. Marie Rivers of Spartanburg, South
Carolina, wore a lace trimmed
pink marquisette gown with
gold accessories. Mrs. Gwendolyn Fortune of Newbern
was gowned in peach marquisette accompanied with peach
and turquoise accessories.
Little Misses Barbara Harlan, daughter of First Lieutenant and Mrs. J. C. Harlan,
and Martha Ann Avery, flower
girls, followed Mrs. Fortune
and her escort. Next in the
procession was Miss A. and T.
of the Summer School of 1941,
Mrs. Leora E. Trollinger of
Graham. (Miss Angeline Bailey, last year's Miss A. and T.
of the Summer School, regretted that she was unable to
leave New York for the occasion.) Others serving as
flower girls were the little
Misses Mary Elizabeth Peek
and Jewel Jenkins. Darling
Master Walter Johnson, son
of Mr. W. T. Johnson of the
College faculty, was crown
bearer.
Mrs. Ramseur, Miss A. and
T. of the Summer School, was
elegantly dressed in a gown of
white brocaded taffeta tied
about the midriff with a
matching bow. She carried a
bouquet of white gladioli.
Each of her attendants carried
bouquets of cerise gladioli.
Mrs. Trollinger placed the
crown on Mrs. Ramseur's
head, making her Miss A. and
T. of the Summer School of
1943. Mrs. Ramseur responded with a few words of heartfelt thanks and appreciation
for the support given her.
The Summer School Chorus,
under the direction of Prof.
Chas. B. Colman, sang "Recessional," with Pfc. Harry Johnson doing the solo parts. "A
Heart That's Free" was sung
by Miss Rose Demoll Jenkins.
Miss Jenkins was accompanied
by Mr. Colman. Corporal Har-
court T. McClean from Brooklyn, New York, played two
violin solos, namely: "Schoon
Rosmarin" by Couperin and
Kreisler and "Arioso" by J.
T. Bach. Miss Julia Johnson
accompanied Cpl. McClean.
John Massey, bass solist, accompanied at the piano by
Miss Jean Dupree, sang three
selections.
Miss Carolyn Wood, dan-
seuse, interpreted "Intermezzo." Miss Johnson accompanied her at the piano.
Miss Angie Tynes, with Mr.
Colman as her accompanist,
sang "Who Know's."

Some A. &T. Boys
ToS.T.A.R.Unit
They say this is a small world,
and lately events have proved
this to be true. By some kind
twist of fate, several former A.
and T. students have been sent
to our S. T. A. R. Unit here on
the campus.
Sergeant Victor Tynes, who
not only graduated from A. and
T. but who served as an English
instructor, came here from the
92nd Division of Fort Huachuca.
After spending a few weeks here,
he was sent to the City College
of New York for advanced study
in the Area and Language of the
French people. Sergeant William O'Rourke was sent to Ohio
State to study Mechanical Engineering. Sergeant Clarence
Bonds left for the New York
University to study Electrical
Engineering. Corporal Eugene
Henderson was sent by the S. T.
A. R. to Tuskegee for Aviation
training. Sergeant Russell J.
Capeheart spent a few days with
the S. T. A. R. Unit and was
then detailed to Ohio State to
study mathematics.
Mid-Week Speakers
Rev. Clemonce Sabourin, Pastor of Grace-Luther Memorial
Church, Greensboro, North
Carolina, was the speaker at
the mid-week chapel exercises.jn
Dudley Auditorium, A. and T.
College, Wednesday morning,
July 28th. Speaking before the
summer school students and
teachers, he stated that teaching
and preaching are high callings
and should not be, as is too often
the case, dumping grounds for
those who fail in other vocations.
Deep River Singers
in Lyceum
The Deep River Singers, in
a program of widely selected
choral and solo numbers, appeared before a well attended
and appreciative audience in
Harrison Auditorium, Tuesday
morning, July 27, at 11:30
o'clock. This concert culminated
an exceptionally successful Lyceum series which was arranged
for the cultural entertainment of
the summer school students, who
enrolled in surprisingly large
numbers for the first and second
session. The series also included Robert Hemmingway, William Allen, pianists, assisted by
Katherine Van Buren, soprano;
the Stuyvesant Trio, Instrumental Ensemble; Earle Spicer, Baritone; Scheetz and Company,
Magician; and Gustava Mc-
Curdy, Lyric Soprano. .
