AH-American Dick Cherry
Marked Beginning Of New Sports Era
By BILLY ARNOLD
Dick Cherry, who is currently un-1 ball. Cherry then proceeded to be-
dergoing treatment for tuberculosis come the biggest gridder ever to
in a Wilson sanatorium, marked the
beginning of a new era of sports at
East 'Carolina five years ago when
he first entered the school.
It was this 5-10, 165 blond dynamo
from Washington that hailed a bright-
er outlook on athletics for East Caro-
lina, and who helped to establish the
schools name throughout the South
as a rising small-college power.
Cherry was the first ECC athlete
receive full-fledged All-American
honors as a small-school performer.
Roger Thrift, all-time great Pirate
quarterback of some years ago, a-
chieved mention on such all-star
teams in his time, but Cherry opened
the door with an amazing ability in
1953 and was acclaimed beyond any-
thing ever known before in this
school's annals.
Triple-Threat
He came to East Carolina in 1952,
apparently a sawed-off runt among
the big men applying for the Pirate
grid squad. He had acquired All-
State honors in football and basket-
ball at Washington high school the
year before, but was considered by
some to be "too small" for college
wear East Carolina's purple and gold.
As a freshman, Cherry walked
away with quarterback honors, led
the Pirates to a successful season,
an i established himself as a real
threat to North State opponents as
a triple-threat man.
Dickherry in Wilson samtonum
It was in 11)53 that Cherry came of
age as a great football player. That
year, he led the .Pirates to their first
North State football crown, rolling
ver pi seven loop opponents without
a defeat. The Bucs dropped only one
decision that fall, to Tampa, while
Cherry was injured. They later played
in the Elks Bowl game against Mor-
ris-Harvey and lost by one score.
That season, (Cherry was awarded
v-11 -State, A!l-Conference and Little
Ail-American honors. He led the
nation's punters with an average that
a preached 50-yard-per-kick mark
and was one of the most accurate
�. sers in the South.
Broken Foot
Next season, 1954, wa to have been
one of his best, for he had come of
Hire as a gridder, according to the
state's scribes and forcasters. Early
in the year, however, in pre-season
drills, the "Blond Bombshell" broke
a foot. He was unable to play during
fhe entire season, and he never re-
covered fully from the injury.
In 1955, Cherry was back in full
ress for the Pirates. He assumed
is old role as a triple-threat quarter.

A report from the Business De-
partment where the honor system
was used by W. W. Howell in Business
351 gave the student reaction as:
"At the conclusion of the course
students were asked to prepare un-
signed statements as to how they
thought the system ha i worked and,
also, to indicate if they thought the
program should he continued and
expanded. At no time during the
experiment did the teacher attempt
ro influence the students in their
thinking about the system other than
to urge them to see both the advan-
ager and disadvantages. The written
statements . . . show of thirty seven
students in the class, nineteen fa-
vored the system, fourteen were op-
posed or indifferent, an 1 four did not
turn in statements. No infractions
were reported to t e teacher

Tohn (). Re nods, head of the de-
partment, said, "I will say that it

ments from the students (asked for
individually) were to the effect that
working conditions were good, and
everyone seemed to be doing their

Assembly Is Friday
The annual Christmas Assembly
will be held December 14 at 10:00 in
Wrig" t auditorium. All students will
be excused from classes for one hour
in order that they can attend. The
program will be almost entirely com-
prised of music presented by the
various musical organizations on
�ampus. The Concert Band, Herbert
L. Carter, conductor, will play se-
lections of Christmas music. The Wo-
man's Chorus will sing selections
o familiar Christmas carols.
June Crews, outstanding member
of the music department, will be one
of the highlights of the entire pro-
gram. She will sinij "He Shall Feed
His Flock" from The Messiah.
Dr. Messick's ever insriring Christ-
mas address will be delivered prior
lo the presentations of the music
major's chorus, which will render
four choruses from the Messiah. Stu
dent conductors selected from the
�horal conducting class are Joan
Sparks of Ahoskie, George Knight of
Rocky Mount, Ralph Shumaker of
Greer, South Carolina, and Dottie Jo
James of Wilmington.
Closing the program. Dr. Kenneth
N. Cuthbert will lead the assembly
in singing Christmas carols, accom-
panied by Mr. George Perry at the
organ. As the students leave the as-
sembly, the Brass Choir, under the
direction or James Parnell, will be
playing Christmas carols from the
roof of Wright building.
Handel's oratorio "The Messiah"
will be resented here at 3:30 p. m.
unday, December 10, in Wright Aud-
itorium, by soloists and vocalists from
he campus, Greenville, and other
.uarny localities.
"The Messiah which has usually-
drawn larger crowds than any other
musical event on campus, will be
given for its eighth consecutive year.
T e program, an annual college-com-
munity event for the Christmas sea-
son, will be iirected for the fourth
year by Dr. Elwood Keister of the
college faculty. The East Carolina
department of music is sponsor of
the event.
According to Dr. Koister, over 2,500
attended the performance last year
and from all indications there should
be as many present at this year's
performance. Dr. Keister expects to
have nearly 250 participants in the
horus and "if the quality of the re-
uarsals is any indication, then I
m expecting a better performance

Soloists
The soloists for this year's per-
'ormanee are ail East Carolina stu-
nts June Crews will appear as the
oratio soloist, Myrl Manness will
inr alto, Milton Mann, tenor, and
Steve Farrish, bass.
Soloists will be backed up by the
'50-voice chorus plus a piano and
organ accompaniment. These acom-
pniment will be provided by Mrs.
Eleanor Toll, of the music depart-
ment faculty, at the piano, and Mr.
George Perry, also of the musk-
acuity, at the organ.
Miss Crews, a senior from Creed-
more, wil perform as a .soprano � o-
loist for the second year. Miss Crews
needs little introduction to East Caro-
lina students. She sang three solo
.selections last Sunday in the East
Carolina Orchestra's annual pre-
Christmas concert. She also had a
leading role in the college produc-
tion of the popular musical, "Okla-
homa" last spring.
Myrl Marines, alto, was a soloist
in "The Messiah" two years ago, an i
has appeared in many leading roles
in campus musicals. Milton .Mann, of
San.ord, is a voice major and has
been very active in campus and c
musical activities. Steve Parish, a
junior from Ayden, had I
role in last year's production of "Ok-

Famous Oratona
George Frederick Handel, comp
of the famous oratorio wai
Halle, Lower Saxony, Febru
1685. He gained his fame a a
poser of Italian 0 era in E
In 1733 he began his
composing English texts and
made an impression with his choral
pieces. Throughout his
composed many works of music, al-
most equal to the combined worl
Bach and Beethoven.
The first performance of the "Mes-
siah" was held in Dublin, April 13,
1742. Handel composed the entire
work in less than twenty-three day
T"e most famous of all the many
choruses in "The Messiah" is
Halleluja chorus. Wherever "The
Messiah" is played it is customary
for the audience to stand during this
chorus. The custom was begtfR at the
first London presentation when the
King of England, who was present,
rose in tribute to tJHe magnificent
music. The audience seeing the king
rise, also rose, hence a tradi-tion.
Scholarship Discussed
Plans to award a four year
scholarship to some Hungarian
student have been discussed and
approved by the Executive Coun-
cil of he Student Government
Association.
Before being definite, however,
the plans must be passed by the
legislative body of the SGA,
which was scheduled to meet last
ni-ht.
The plans passed by the Exe-
cutive Council included the al-
location of $750 a year for four
years to some Hungarian stu-
dent to study at East Carolina
d'etre The scholarship would
begin ith the first session of
Summer School, 1957.
One problem concerning the
scholarship that the Executive
Council did not decide, however,
was that of the inability of the
Student Government to allocate
funds more than one year at a
time. It was brought up at the
meeting of the Council that no
way as of yet had been formu-
lated whereby the student could
be assured that the scholarship
money would appropriated by the
succeeding legislatures.
SGA Will Produce Rodgers
And Hart Broadway Success
"A Connecticut Yankee a Rod-
gers and Hart Broadway success, has

cal. Ralph Shumaker, chairman of

ing roles and technical workers are

interested in this phase of the pro-
(
luction are asked to leave their names Thou Witty
an i addresses at the Music Hall of-

The story of "A Connecticut Yan-
kee' is built around a single char-
acter. Martin, who is engaged to
Faye. 'n a rumpus involving Martin,
Faye, and Alice, whom he really
loves, Martin is hit on the head and
suddenly finds himself uprooted from
the present and transported back
to the year 543 A. D. when King
Arthur and the Knights of the Round
Table reigned.

While in this period, Martin, with
his knowdedge of solar eclipses, gun
powder, and other bits of informa-
tion common to our present lay.
manages to attain knighthood. How-
ever, he also manages to entangle
himself in a love triangle similar to
that involving Faye, Alice, and him-
self. In working with explosives, he
blows up everything and finds him-
self back in the present.

coeds are beginning to take notice
of festive glad rags. Leading the
way to the Christmas parties this
season will be chiffon, often partner-
ed with jersey and tweed. Popular
colors in this will be melds of lilac
and periwinkle blue. Running a close
second will be the velvets, red and
moss green in particular. The jer-
sey sheath that has a sash and is
streamered with grosgrain will make
�mother striking outfit. Evening coats
for wear in the flurries of a White

Time To Get Drastic
With the coming of Christmas holidays,
everyone is in a rush to get home to their
families and loved ones. Some of our students
will never get home, statistics say, and some
will not return to school. ,The cause, of course,
is death on the highways. Death . . . people
just don't believe in thinking about it; instead,
it's something that the mind likes to evade.
For who wants to think morbid thoughts when
climbing behind the wheel of the car aftar
the last class is over, bags are packed, and
everyone is singing 'Til be home for Christ-
mas
It's a different picture when you read that
two persons were killed when a passenger car
attempted to pass a car and pulled out into
the path of a truck. It's a different story when
the new clipping states a speeding auto-
mobile with a soaped-up engine smashed the
life of a 21 vear old man when he lost control
of hifl car on a sharp curve, smashed into
an embankment, and was hurled from the
auto and slammed against the pavement.

Don't Just Spend
Christmas Keep
It As It Is
(Taken from a sermon by Petei
Marshall which hi wife cailed one
of his "most inspiring and memorable
sermons)
Everyone remembers the singing com-
mercial on traffic safety and the slogans
that are u diligently posted along the high-
ways, but needing them is a different matter.
Johnnie Smith is a freshman and lives 110
miles from here. He drives a '56 model, but
he's expecting a new one for 'Christmas.
Johnnie is a good guy he takes a load of stu-
dents home every week-end and maybe he
drives a little over the speed limit. They're
all anxious to get home and they all help to
watch - hammies and the Highway Patrol.
( h are, Johnnie has just about used
up his law oi arages and the Man Upstairs
will be forced to lower the boom. Johnnie won t
be around to see the tears, to hear the heart-
racking sobs of those dear ones who loved
him so, who had such plans for his future.
We'll write a nice sympathetic story for
him, but what about you? For Johnnie is al-
ways "him not you. "They" were in the car,
not "us " Fate has been kind to us; we have
had some close calls, but nothing serious.
We've �een some bad accidents, but they didn t
reallv concern us. We felt sorry for those who
would be hurt by it, but at the same time it
was all a detached sort of feeling, not really
concerned.
Juat another accident but the patrol-
man will tell vou that nothing is an accident,
an event taking place without one's foresight
or expectation. For accidents can be expected.
Todav they're even scientifically predicted in
a numerical census by the insurance agencies.
An accident can be expected whenever taking
unneccessarv chances; passing on a curve or a
hill, not looking back or ahead, speeding on
slippery surfaces, driving with slick tires, not
paving"attention to driving, but to the passen-

Changes are everywhere. Mfcny in-
stitutions and customs that we once
thought aaerosanct have gone by the
board. Yet there are a few that abide,
defying time and revolution.
The old message: "For unto you is
born this day in the city of David a
Saviour, which is Christ the Lord"
is stiJi the heart of Christmas. It can
be nothing else. And this message
can neither be changed nor quite for-
gotten, although there are many
thing that tend to make us forget.
There is no need to search for
stories new and different. There is
only one after ail�and no modern
author can improve it: "And there

A Christmas Message
Dear Faculty and Students:
We are approaching the Yuletide season
again, when our minds go back through the
years to our early childhood and to the many
happinesses that we have experienced since
then. Probably, at no other time of the year
do we enter into family and community life
so jovouslv and wholeheartedly as at this sea-
son It is a time for reunions, for parties, for
the exchange of presents, for Santa Claus.
for carol singing and to hear again glad
tidings of great joy" heralded from pulpits,
over the radio, television, and discussed around
the fireside. Christmas is a time of gaiety, a
time for taking account of the many blessings
that come to us. a time reminding us of the
One supreme Life that was give� that wj
"might have life and that more abundantly.
As vou return to your homes with hearts
filled with I've, meeting the embraces of those
who are waiting for your coming, y�uwlU�
thrilled with joy and gratitude, and witn
thankfulness and appreciation that you are
in a countrv where the philosophy of freedom
and well being provides you with an environ-
ment in which you can worship God according
to the dictates of your conscience and where
you can be free from a dictator's edict or fear
of a political power that would circumvent
vour happiness. We can say, with reverence
"God bless America" and ge thanks to Him
for our maniMd blessings. Help make thte
the happiest Christmas you and your family
AdT wish for each of you the hap-
piest Yuletide season ever
m �
"And the angel said unto them,
fear not: for, behold, I bring you
good tiding of great joy, which shall
be to all peope. For unto you is born
this day in the city of David a Sav-
ious, which Is Christ the Lord
Have you been saying, "I just
can't seem to feel the Christmas
spirit this year?" That's too bad. As
a confession of lack of faith, it is
rather significant. You are saying
that you feel no joy that Jesu came
into the world . . . you are confessing
that His presence in the world is not
a reality to you . . .
Maybe you need all the more to read
the Christmas story over again, need
to sit down with the Gos-el of Luke
and think about it. I thank God for
Christmas. Would that it lasted all
year. For on Christmas Eve, and
Christmas Day, all the world is a
better place, and men and women are
more loveable. Love itself sweeps
into every heart, and miracles happen.
When Christmas doesn't make your
heart swell up until it nearly
bursts . . . and fill your eyes with
tears . . . and make you aF. soft and
warm inside . . . then you'll know
that something inside of you e, dead.
Don't worry�you'll be ready for
it�you'll catch the spirit all ri�ht,
or it will eator. you, which is even
better. And then you will remember
what Christmas means�the begin-
ning of Christianity . . . The Second
Chance for the world�the hope for
peace�and the only way.
The promise that the angels sang
is the most wonderful music the
world has ever heard. "Peace on earth
and good will toward men It was
not a pronouncement upon the state
of the world then nor is it a reading
of the international barometer of
the present time . . . but it is a
promise�God's promise�of what one
day will come to pass.

The Man Who Invented Parking Tickets
The Honoraole P. U. Burton, noted
inventor and designer of the parking
ticket, told the press today that he
and the Republicans are responsible
:or "the present jeace and pros-
perity in the wor! 1
The greying multi-millionaire, who
made a fortune with his invention
of t.e parking ticket some years
ago, told reporters, "If it were no:
for the parking ticket, confusion,
disorder and mav hysteria would now
be staring our generation full in the
face
Explaining his remarks, Burton
said, "People don't realize it, but
parking tickets have hel; ej to pre-
serve the American way of life.
Notice: America is the first and, I
think, the only nation on tlu face
of the earth to ure parking tickets�
and it is the strongest and richest
country in t: e world. There is a very
definite connection.
"For instance, if there were no
parking tickets, a policy of first-
come-first-served would prevail. That
is highly undemocratic. Under that
system, the fastest would always win,
and that would destroy our whole
democratic concept. "
Loss Of Jobs
Barton added, "Policemen would
ala much les work to do.
. it would be unfair to the tax-
: a good money H
work for it.
"Alsi . poli� women, whose major
work to stick parking violators,

; would be unfair. Wo-

Burton continued. "Just think of

that exercise is good for the health.
That is one of the reasons why our
college have booming athletic teams:
it is all stimulated hj parking tic-
kets
Commenting further, Burton said.
"Parking tickets also help do away
with race predjudice. A Negro or
Jew or Mexican can get a parking
ncket as quick as a white man.
"The same is true in doing away
with class distinction. A rich man
or a poor man can receive a ticket
Burton added, "Parking tickets al-
so keep money in circulation. Our
colleges, which have euch a hard
time making er. ii -v.eet, can make a
pot of money with tickets. Therefore,
the tickets also aid education
They Saved The Nation
To sum it all up. Mr. Burton point-
ed out that if all the above advan-
tages had not been created by the
parking ticket, America would have
long since crumbled from internal
stress.

more than its share to preserve the
nation under P. U. Burton's in-

The years that are gone are grave-
yards in which all the persuasions
of men have crumbled into dust. If
history has any voice, it is to say
that aH these ways of men lead
nowhere. There remains only one
way�The Way�untried, untested,
unexplored fully the way of Him
Who was bom a Babe in Bethlehem.
In a world that seems not only to
be changing, but even to be dissolving,
tfcere are some tene of millions of us
who want Christmas to be the same . .
with the same old greeting "Merry
Christmas" and no other.
We loving for the abiding love a-
mong men of good will which the
season brings . . . believing in this
ancient miracle of Christma with
its softening, sweetening influence
to tug at our heart strings once a-
gain. We want to hold on to the old
customs and traditions because they
strengthen our family ties, hind us
to our friends, make us one with all
mankind for whom the Child was born,
and bring us back again to the God
Who gave His only begotten Son,
tht "whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have ever-
lasting life
So we will not "spend" Christ-
mas . . . nor "observe" Christmas.
We will "keep" Christmas�keep it
as it is . . . in all the loveliness of
ite ancient traditions. May we keep
it in our hearts, that we may he
kept in its hope.
The True Meaning Of Christmas
Tinsel, colored lights, sparkling
ornaments and spicy smelling fir trees
are al! around us once again for the
Christmas season. Crowds of shoppers
rushing to and fro are in a constant
turmoil buying gifts for relatives
and friends which they will take
home to wrap in gay paper and rib-
bon and hide in the most ingenious
places until that day�December 25
�arrives. Yes, this is what we of
today know as Christmas�the "com-
mercialized" Christmas.
What has happened to the real and
true meaning of Christmas? Has it
become so immersed in tinsel and
evergreen that we have forgotten the
true meaning of the season? What
does Christmas mean to you ?
The word itself is the meaning of
Christma-�the Mass of Christ. It is
the annual church festival kept by
Christians all over the world on
December 25 in memory of the birth
of Christ.
Too often, we of today become
engrossed in the commercial "Santa
Claus Christmas and do not think
of the Messiah as the true gift to
mankind�the only and perfect gift
that the world has ever known.
The season of Christmas should
be to everyone, regardless of re-
ligious faith or belief, a season of
meditation on the fortunate gifts of
our own lives and how they can
best be put to bountiful use. This
season is a time in which we should
all recall the past fortunes and mis-
fortunes of our lives in order that we
may establish for ourselves a firmer
conviction in the goals which we
have put LefoT us.
T is year let's keep Christmas as
a time in which each one of us are
thankful for all that we- have in our
lives. Let us all celebrate Christmas,
not only as a time of gaiety and
laughter, but a time in which we may
plan how we too, as that greatest
gift was given, may give of ourselves,
however small or imperfect our gifts
may be, to mankind�a gift which
will mean everything to someone and
most of all, something to ourselves!
Reader's Comment
Men's Judiciary Chairman
Explains His Stand On Frats
Dear Editor,
There seems to be quite a num-
ber of students here on campus who
are concerned as to my stand on
social fraternities. Well, thus far I
have made no commitments as to
whether I am in favor of or against
thee organizations.
T have thought this matter over
verv thoroughly, and at this time
I am prepared to state my con-
victions.
I am in favor of social fraterni-
ties here at East Carolina College as
long as they pursue constructive ends
I must admit that I am very pleased
with the fraternities now in exis-
tence and with the formation of the
inter-fraternity council. It appears
as if the members of these fraterni-
ties are sincerely interested in do-
ing an excellent job.
I am familiar with the fraternity
system at Duke and at Davidson, and
they are very beneficial, I must ad-
mit that I would hate to see social
fraternities here develop as they
have at one of the other state sup-
ported institutions�this I am s-
gainst�not social fraternities.
At this time. I feel sure that ths
present trend of the social fraterni-
ties here at East Carolina College is
for the betterment of the college as
a whole, and I am wholeheartedly in
favor of it, and if there is any way
in which I can help in this cause I
am now prepared to do so.
Sincerely,
Eddie Dennis
(Mr. Dennis is chairman of the
Men's Judiciary.�Editor).

East Carolina and Atlantic Chris-

THE
CROW'S NEST
by Billy Arnold
Ear.t Carolina's swimming team,
vide opened its season with a 55-80
to power ul North Carolina, has
ucceeded in capturing the imagina-
:n of most of the student body, it
ivould seem.
En .Memorial gym pool last month,
a Bucs played before a capacity
�rowd of some 7o students, who
irered and applauded both teams
� ith gusto and showed remarkable
uommaivhip. East Carolina's awim-
cera did a much better job against
he Tar Heels than the score and sta-
tistics would indicate and the crowd
was both rewarding and rewarded,
hia is a great step forward for a
minor sport that had its beginning
only three seasons ago, and for a team
hich could win only one match.
� is also a step forward for the stu-
�nts of ECC, who obviously have
�ejum to realize the color of the new
3port.

. . . .Fust- a passing thought: If
nst Carolina's basket bailors con-
ntte to play as they have over the
s "our seasons, and the home-
urt winning streak keeps growing
s it has over the weeks, Memorial
'vrr.nosium may need re-vamping.
Each home game for the past three
� 'o has found the "Jinx" gym
'��! to over-flowing. Fans from
�-n- rarts of the State have begun
to vvit the gym to see the Bucs play
n defense of their home-court streak;
'a-tern North Carolina fans and
' I Greenville people have main-
in ri a teady backing for the bas-
ketters�and the school is growing
more in size every year.
How long will it be before Memorial
rymna ium is too small to hold the
irates?
According to enrollment figures,
it is already too small. The gym is
facilitated to handle approximately
2,000 spectators, if my information
is right�and that doesn't even ac-
count for room enough for students
alone.
Of course, this doesn't prove a
thing, exce; t possibly tha East Caro-
lina is making quite a reputation as
a small-college basketball power.
Since the gymnasium was first built
only five years ago, it doesn't seem
reasonable that anoti.er, larger court
will have to be reconed with before
Buccaneers. Still, it is a thing that
will have to reckoned with before
long.

SANTA CLAUS ANALYZED
Why oh why does Santa go,
"Ho-Ho, Ho-Ho, Ho-Ho, Ho
It it just because he's jolly?
I believe he's off his trolley.
Gifts for everyone on earth
Breed hysteria�not mirth
If you had his job to do
Bet you'd shake like jelly toot
MOtAti End your gift problems before they start. Give
Chesterfield in the carton that glows for real�to all
the happy folk who smoke for real! Buy lots�to
do lota for your
Christmas list.
You get better looking in a '57 Chevrolet!
There's a whole new outlook behind the wheel�a
bigger view of the road over that sassy hood. And
isn't that new instrument panel a hooey!
Look through that 57 Chev-
rolet windshield and you see
how its new, deeper design
gives you better, safer vision.
Glance down�just a bit�
and your eyes rest on the
sweetest instrument panel a
car ever had.
Then, take the whed and
you'U find the going's even
better than the looking!
