Mr. O.E. Fox of Farmville, a junior in Atlantic Christian College represented A.C.C. in the State Peace Oratorical at Burlington Friday night. Mr. Fox was awarded the third, $25 in gold. The subject of his oration was “World Peace Through Christian Idealism.”
Wake Forest College won first prize and Trinity’s representative was given second prize.
Six colleges took part in the contest, including Elon College, Guilford College, and the University of North Carolina, in addition to the three prize winners.
This was A.C.C.’s debut in the state contest, and Mr. Fox’s success in our initial effort is an indication of even greater laurels for the future. We are proud of him and of our college.
