The student body was highly no.
nored by the presence u Reverend
Patterson, Pastor Of the Presby-
terian Church Of Savannah, Geor.
gia, and a graduate of Lincoln
University, Pennsylvania.
Reverend Mclean, Pastor of the
Trinity Presbyterian church here
in Key West, introduced the we'll
versed minister who gave us a
very timely and informative talk.
Reverend Patterson stressed
these points which viii long be
remembered:-.
/. We must have faith and be-
lieve in ourselves. Never doubt
what we can do.
2. Be inspired by great men as
George Washington Carver, Ralph
Bunche and Joe Louis who have
labored to achieve success.
3. We must be brave and be pre-
pared to go onward despite de-
feat for there will be many obs
tacles before us daily.
The minister's concluding re-
mark were Longfellow's immortal
lines:--
The heights by great men reach
ed and kept,
We're not attained by sudden
flight,
But they, while their compan-
ions slept
Were toiling upwards through the
