A Sunday Evening Cultural Se
ries audience at Clark College join
ed the ranks of those who recently
heard and acclaimed John Anglin,
as the young tenor took command
of the Davage Auditorium stage,
Sunday evening, April 8, and pro
ceeded to reveal a voice of rare
richness and power. The Oklahoma-
born artist, who received the core
of his vocal training while a student
at Xavier University in New Or
leans, was repeatedly called back
for encores as he sang his way
through a program which ranged
from the spirituals to “Cielo e mar"
from Ponchielli’s “La Gioconda”.
Duparc’s “Phidyle", the selection
from La Gioconda", and Hall John
son’s arrangement of “Ride On King
Jesus” were perhaps the high points
of Mr. Anglin’s concert. Returning
to enthusiastic applause for a sec
ond encore at the end of the concert,
the singer concluded the program
with a deeply moving rendition of
the spiritual “Steal Away”.

companist, provided! effective sup

OLD AGE
Ah, but its lonely to be so old,
Dreading the grave which is so cold.
I remember the days when I was
young,
And the songs I have sung.
Here I sit remembering the years,
Some filled with sadness, some with
tears.
But they were well lived, both thq
sad and the gay,
These are the years I think of today.
There are many memories that
have passed me by,
Some may be recalled before I die,
Ah, but its lonely to be without a
friend.
But my trust in God will be strong
to the end.
I have lived a good life, but it is
almost too late,
To do all the things I thought could
wait,
My time is not long and I’m
prepared to go,
So ril just sit back and take life
slow.

you about the Geiger Counter, or
oscillograph or anything scientific.
No fooling, its educational even
though you don’t understand all
that he’s talking about. Ask ques
tions. A boy likes a girl who is in
terested enough to ask them. They
boast his ego.
If he’s on the football team and
coach insists that he shall maintain
the position of “bench warmer,” for
a while at least help him to over
come his moodiness; inspire him to
play better when he does get the
chance. Show him that you have
confidence in his ability.
Boy-girl relationships mean com
panionship. If either one is self-cen
tered; then it won’t work. Do your
part by becoming interested in what
he does or says or planning to do.
You won’t hold him if you expect
him to pay you pretty compliments
all day and whisper sweet nothings
in your ear. That is no basis for a
lasting friendship. When he does
pay you a compliment (and of
course he will) accept it gracefully
and let it go at that. To be brief the
girl who wins over and keeps a fel
low interested is the girl who is
first of all, interested in him as a
person, not as the bestower of pret
ty compliments. This is the uncon
ceited, unselfish girl—the girl who
wins.
Alpha Phi chapter of Alpha Phi'
Alpha ended its observation of the
thirty-second annual “Education for
Citizenship” Week on April 20.
Though the Alpha observation of
“Education for Citizenship” Week
has been in practice for thirty-two
years, it is now, in these days when
Negroes are realizing more fully
their American citizenship, and
when the segregation bars are be
ing dropped in educational institu
tions, that such an observance is ex
tremely timely.
As students it is up to us to ac
cept the responsibility of using our
training to foster more improve
ments in national, social affairs. It
is up to us to insure the full inte
gration of Negroes into local and
national affairs.
Two phrases which speak loud
over sentiments concerning citizen
ship are expressed simply: “An
ignorant people is a helpless peo
ple”, and “A voteless people is a
hopeless people”.
It is up to us to become fully a-
ware of the truth in these two state
ments and become active partici
pants in the battle against those ele
ments which tend to change the de
mocratic course laid out for this
country by its founders.
