TO THE FRESHMAN
To the members of the freshman class, I extend a most hearty welcome.
College is something new to most of you and maybe some of you are
discouraged at the start because you can not get adjusted to your new environment. If you are, do not feel as if you don't-have what it takes for
college. Have patience and soon you will find yourself getting accustomed to college life. Once you are familiar with college life, you will begin
to enjoy the things that you thought you disliked. Then you can say
truthfully that you are college students. I hope that you will have a most
successful year.

these, about 4,500 have been accepted for publication.

CREATE HEAT WAVE
Excitedly the students stormed
Harrison Auditorium Friday night.
The occasion was the annual "Freshman Talent Show." Great expectations were what they came for;
superb performances were what
they received. From the moment
the red velvet curtains were opened to reveal a magnificently decorated stage, the show was destined
to be a success.
Never in the school's history has
the Talent Show produced so many
potential stars. To have chosen a
winner would have presented the
most competent critic with a nightmare. Variety was the keynote, as
seen by the memorable impersonation of the "King-Fisher" by Lloyd
Dillard to the very beautiful and
dynamic rendition of the "Crucifixion" by Clattie DeGraffenreidt.
The highlight of the evening came
when James Davis, a graduate of
the Deaf and Blind School of Raleigh, received a double encore for
his singing and playing of the "Unchained Melody." Others participating were Ernestine Davis, Kathy
Allen, Eleanor Vines, Delores
Speight, Dorothy Thomas, Barbara
Ratcliffe, Earlene Hurdle, Anthony
Mosley, Coye Parker, Robert Mul-
drow, James Spurlock, Samuel
Tucker, Clyde Parker, Yvonne
Johnson, Franklin Miller, .Jackie
Kilgore, Donovan Moore, j Clyde
Smith,  and  Edward Taylor;
Herman Sutton, President of the
Student Council, and Shirley Richardson, "Miss A&T for "55-56",
greeted the talents as they were
presented.
The A&T family congratulates
the freshman class and hopes that
talents performed on the stake will
be excelled only by achievements
in the classroom.
Parliamentary procedure will be
worked on from 3:30 to 5:00 P. M.
In addition, a film will be shown
during this period and the subject
for discussion will be "Should
Eighteen Year Olds Vote?"
The meet will end at 5:30 P. M.
after a half hour evaluation of the
conference.
The official conference chairman
is Mary Lou Vaughan, regional
NSA chairman, who is a senior at
Greensboro College.

TO THE STUDENT BODY
Greetings Aggies:
"I am indeed proud to extend greetings to the old and new Aggies of
the student body of this institution.
The older members among us have returned to drink deeper of this
fountain of learning and the freshman among us have come seeking keys
to open the doors to greater and more worthwhile service to themselves,
their race, their state, and their nation. Welcome to you all. May your
quest be successful. May you learn that while you take away from that
which is A.&T., you also give to her new life and new vitality.
Of all new freshman and of upper classmen as well, may I say that I
hope your stay here will be long and rewarding and that you will find our
student body the most industrious and most cooperative that you have ever
worked with.
Good luck to you all."
