Murphy, Jackson, Pauline, Light, Keith, Crawford, Blackburn, the Blount brothers and all other members of th e team and coach, we are very proud o f you. Thanks for another trophy for the "House." A.M.S. Players cont’d. We, the members of the Snelman fa- mil ey arc looking forward to the "King and I" with eager anticipation. Go od luck to Mr. Burroughs, the entire cast and the A.M.S. Players. It seems to me...cont’d. Another has suggested that maybe lessor individuals should leave the fighting to Rev. Williams and Dr. Mays. H a y be we should; in- my opinion this is the Negro dilemma. We all have a great deal at stake and we should move now in an earn est attempt to assert ourselves and our dignity. Those letters that I crit i~ cizcd incensed me and really did little for the dignity of the Negro. Such in sults should be refuted with cold ana lytical logic and facts. Maybe I 1 m not a competent spokesman for the Ne gro race, but as an individual I mu s t live with myself. Cool, calm, but firm and deliberate action is the only me- thod I know to fight for individual dig nity. Perhaps most of you agree with me and maybe I should allow other parole to defend or oppose my actions but I do think some deliberate ' action a h oul d be taken now by Negroes^ to dissolve the image of the sterotyped Negro and to as sert human dignity. I heard M. L. King Jr. say at his father’s church last year” that a man who has no cause worth dying for isn’t worth living. As stupid as this may soun d,, I believe it, and I feel that way about individual dignity and human rights. That's the way it seems. Sophomore dance cont’d. Her pigtails were tied in bright red bows. Outstanding among the young men was Richard "Dino" Bennot, dressed in pants that should have been discarded long ago which were held up by suspen ders, desert boots with no socks. To top it all, he wore his hair parted in the center. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of Miss Annie Ruth Borders as "Miss Sad Sack." Josephine Jackson crowned "Miss Sad Sack Jr." Miss Bor ders chose Theorcn Goodson as "Mb Sad Sack" and Miss Jackson chose Claren c e H amilton as "Mr. Sad Sack."' -by Evelyn Sterling
