The 1949
Tecoan
This is East Carolina Teachers College in the school year of 1948-1949.
This was a year of great events not only to the students of the college but also to the people of the community, nation and the world. On the top place in international affairs was the duel between the United States and Russia for world leadership. These two countries had exchanged insults until it looked as though war were inevitable. In China fighting continued as usual.
Leading national affairs was the election of President Harry S. Truman for a second term - a feat declared impossible by many political experts. Taking second place in the news of the nation was high prices. Even Congress seemed baffled at this problem, and prices continued to rise.
Here at home in North Carolina the election of Governor Kerr Scott was the big event. It started the politicians thinking.
The college in 1948-1949 completed its forty-first year of service and grew in prestige as one of the best colleges for training teachers in the Southeast. When the school year began, twenty-one buildings stood on the campus, surpassed by few in beauty.
The student body that year was composed of men and women in almost equal numbers.
Most of the men were veterans, but their conversations were slowly changing from Anzio and Iwo Jima to Fords and Chevrolets and even Model T's.
The girls as usual gossiped and talked about clothes. This year it was the new look. "
The activation of an R.O.J.C. unit on the campus was a leading event of the year.
The beginning of work on Slay Hall, dorm for men students, initiated an extensive building program to be continued in the future.
To Dr. J.Y. Joyner
We dedicate this the nineteen hundred and forty-nine Tecoan Dr. J. Y. Joyner, who as State Superintendent of Public Instruction, served as ex officio chairman of the Board of Trustees of this college from 1907 to 1919, and who during the construction of the first five buildings on this campus served as a member of the Executive Committee, is probably East Carolina's oldest friend.
It was through his influence, wisdom, and council that East Carolina is a co-educational college. We feel that it is altogether fitting that this annual be dedicated to Dr. Joyner because, last but far from least, he united the friends of the State High School bill with the friends of the East Carolina Teachers Training School bill to establish what we feel is one of the best teachers colleges in the United States.
Dr. J.Y. Joyner,
one of East Carolina Teachers College's oldest friendd
John D. Messick
President East Carolina Teachers College
Dr. John D. Messick had now served two years as president and already the school showed signs of his able leadership. The stadium which had so long been a dream began to be a reality. The new building program, the advances in scholastic standing, and the increased prestige of the college all bore his mark.
ADMINISTRATION
Under his administration, as academic dean, was Dr. Leo W. Jenkins. It was his duty to uphold the academic standing.
Miss Annie L. Morton was dean of women and had the tremendous job of supervising and caring for the girls. Her length of service in this position is evidence of her abilitv.
For dean of men there was a Texan, Mr. W. E. Marshall, who also served as director of student affairs. It was under his guidance that the student legislature rose to its present high standing.

The Senior Class

Activities
The activities in the year 1949 were about the same as in any other college.
Dances were the big items on the list especially the Charlie Spivak Dance. But for regular good old fashion fun the prize should go to Sadie Hawkins Day. This event in its second year at the college had gained in popularity until everyone went as "Lil' Abners" or "Daisy Maes".
Though there were many occasions when the whole student body turned out to celebrate, most of the activities were still carried on in the clubs. The Departmental along with the Fraternal and Social Clubs formed the basis for most of the student extra-curricular activities.
80
Sadie Hawkins Day
The year of 1949 would not be complete without mention of Sadie Hawkins Day. Sponsoring this celebration again that year was the Science Club. The club did such a good job that the judges had a hard time selecting the best characters. The best Daisy Mae was Hilda Grace Moye. The best Lil' Abner was Bill James, while Mammy Yokuin and Hairless Joe were best portrayed by Lola Stephenson and Curtis Wilson.
Carnival and Registration
Among the many charitable gestures of East Carolina in 1949 was the World Student Fund Drive. Under the influence of Nick Fokakis the carnival that year again was a success and contributed much to this worthwhile organization. Although there were many good things to be remembered, registration definitely wasn't one. It was still a headache.
Seasonal
In autumn most of the thoughts of the students were turned towards football with the actual game only furnishing the climax. First, there had to be pep rallies, decorations, and parades, then at Guy Smith Stadium the big event. Along with football went many other outdoor games such as tennis, softball, and volley ball. But as winter came students gradually collected indoors.
Snapshots
Parties, parlor "dates", and cards took up most of the time, but there were one or two students who actually studied! With the approach of spring the crowd drifted outdoors again. Games, weiner roasts, baseball or just sunning provided excuses for being outside.
Under the capable leadership of Charles Connor, the Student Legislature reached a new high in fair representative student government. Probably at no time in the history of the college had the student body enjoyed such high quality self-government.

Men's Judiciary
The purpose of the Men's Judiciary was to act as a judicial body in all matters concerning discipline of men students. The great increase in men students in 1949 placed added responsibilities on their shoulders.

Around the table, from left to right: Margaret Mason, Molly Leggett, Ruth Taylor, Elsie "Mugs" Carver, chairman; Sally Joe Gurganus, Florence Boerckel, Virginia Floyd.
Women's Judiciary
Primary among the duties of the Women's Judiciary was the promotion and maintenance of high standards of conduct. With the new demerit system their task became easier.

Standing Committees
Although most of the policies and laws were laid down by the Student Legislature, it was in the standing committees that the work was accomplished. Without them the Student Government could not have functioned.

The Pieces O'Eight
The Pieces O'Eight was the literary publication for the college. Here any budding Whittier, embryonic Rembrandt or promising Galsworthy could have his ego inflated by seeing his works in print. Reduced appropriations and unfortunate circumstances did not hamper the staff's spirits. "Never before have so few done so much with so little."

Future Teachers Of America
The aims of the FTA were to develop among young people who are preparing to be teachers an organization which would be an integral part of state and national associations and to acquaint these young people with ethics, history, and programs of these associations.
The organization has been a charter member of the NEA since 1939 and is the oldest branch in North Carolina. It gave junior membership in both NEA and NCEA, entitling each member to the books and magazines supplied by these associations. It was the only organization on the campus open to all prospective teachers regardless of major.

A banquet given each quarter helped the members to enjoy a good meal as well as to have a good time. Keith Kilpatrick, president; R. B. Lee, vice-president; Ed Casey, treasurer; Ruth Bostian, secretary (not pictured).
The Follies Of 1949
The Follies of 1949, also called the Veterans Minstrel, was the Veterans Club's chief weapon for raising money. Under the direction of Mr. Eli Bloom the show was a series of great successes.

Athletics were slowly recovering from a downward trend developed after the war. The Pirates were discovering their power and using it. Although the football team came through without a win the other teams added glory to East Carolina Teachers College. In basketball the Bucs were continually upsetting the favorites while in boxing, tennis, and golf the teams won over opponent after opponent.

Football...1948
The purple and gold aggregation opened a disastrous football season against an air-minded Cherry Point eleven on September 18, 1948. The Marines struck twice through the air lanes in the opening minutes of the game to take a 13 point lead that never was overtaken by the surprised Pirates. The E.C.T.C. eleven came to life in the second half as John Smith scored from the four on the end of an 86 yard drive. The Buccaneers died deep in Marine territory as the game ended.
Lenoir-Rhyne was the first North State Conference foe for the Bucs and they proved to be too much as they sank the Pirates 26 - 6. The locals played great ball in the first half as they trailed 7 - 6. A pass from Maennle to Tanner was good for 40 yards and then Johnnie Smith once again carried the mail for the Bucs as he scored from the one yard line. The Bears roared in the second half as they scored three more T. D.'s to emerge a 20 point victor.

The following week the Pirates played an evenly matched Elon eleven, only to have fate against them once again as the Fighting Christians won 6 - 0.
The Homecoming Celebration was shattered to shreds by West Carolina on October 16, 1948. The Pirates were held scoreless while the "Catamounts" rolled up 39 points. Twenty-six of these came in the first half. The home eleven threatened several times with Holscher and Maennle leading the way but they never hit the pay dirt.
The Johnson-men, moved to Newport News, Virginia for the next encounter with Frank Dobson's Apprentice School eleven. The Gold and Purple were victors in two previous battles, 19 - 6 and 14 - 6 in 1946 and 1947, but in 1948 the tide turned as the Virginians outclassed E.C.T.C. by a 20 - 6 score. Johnnie Smith again scored the six pointer. Keith Kilpatrick and Stan Peel were outstanding in the line.
The Pirates played host to the Duke "B" team on the 29th of October and played the best ball game of the '48 season only to lose by one touchdown.
The score was 19 to 13, but it does not tell the story of the frantic episode. Wetherington scored early on a 45 yard pass from Frank Maennle. Duke tied it up only to he overtaken by the Fighting Pirates. This time Maennle scored on a short flip from Bill Darby. Bass added the extra point to make it 13 to 6 at the halfway point.
The Blue Imps scored twice more in the last quarter by a pass interception and a 50 yard gallop. However, the Pirates were on the Imps doorstep as the final whistle sounded. Wetherington and Wyatt played great ball along with "Shot" Ellis, George Wood and Keith Kilpatrick.
The Appalachian State "Mountaineers", 1948 North State Conference Champs made short work of the Pirates at Boone, N. C. Herman Bryson, little All-American Halfback, led the Apps to pile up seven touchdowns and 5 extra points while the crippled Bucs were held scoreless. Pollili's play was great for the Gold and Purple.
Wilmington, North Carolina played host to East Carolina and High Point College on November 13, only to see a first half Pirate club die in the last thirty minutes. High Point was handed 7 points in the opening minutes, only to be tied by Mike Kovach who sailed 66 yards on an end run and Garrel Bass' extra point. The Panthers scored a safety in the second quarter to hold a 9 - 7 lead at halftime. The Purple Panthers then struck for twenty-three more points in the last half to claw the Pirates by a score of 30 - 7.

November 17, 1948 brought rain, mud, and blues to the subdued Pirates as the A.C.C. Bulldogs took the coveted "Bohunk Trophy" back to Wilson, N. C. on a score of 6 - 0. The mud drenched Pirates outplayed the Bulldogs, but lacked the scoring punch. Bryant, Smith, and Holscher looked great on several occasions while Booth, Ellis, and Yarbrough stood out in the line. The defeat was the first one ever handed to the Pirates by A.C.C. on the gridiron. It also marked the ninth straight setback without a victory for the 1948 season.

In the 1948 opener, the Bucs downed a defensive minded Portsmouth Grid Club five by a score of 36-26. Two nights later they traveled to High Point only to be beaten by a score of 51 - 31 in the North State Conference opener.
The locals still were not up to par the following night when the Catawba Indians pulled away from a 23 - 22 halftime score to emerge a 51 - 39 victor. The scoring was led by Everton and Maennle who scored 10 and 9 points respectively.
The Appalachian "Mountaineers" provided the next opposition for the Bucs who finally found the range. Behind the scoring of Jack Everton and Charlie Bill Moye, who scored 18 and 15 points respectively, the E.C.T.C. cagers posted a 60 - 53 victory. Bob Shuford scored 6 points in the last 2 minutes to keep the Apps at bay.
The Bucs posted their third win of the campaign against the Norfolk Navy in a real thriller by a score of 54 - 51. Moye and Bauer led the way for the Bucs. The
The 1948 Squad
following week the same Navy five turned on the steam at Norfolk and downed the Pirates in a high scoring contest 76 - 46. Toddy Fennel led the Bucs in vain as high scorer with a total of 14 points.
Elon College fell by the wayside of the Bucs in a North Stater on Eddie Tanner's free throw in the last minute. The score of this thriller was 49 - 48. Charlie Bill Moye led the way with 18 points, but suffered a dislocated toe which hurt the Bucs badly. Without the services of "C. B." the Bucs suffered three straight setbacks at the hands of Lenoir-Rhyne 71 - 47, Catawba 49 - 45, and A.C.C. by a score of 51 - 48. Everton and Tanner were high for the locals with 14 and 12 points respectively against Lenoir-Rhyne. Everton was high against Catawba also.
The Bucs lost their chance to regain the Bohunk Trophy in a hard fought battle at Wilson with Moye and Everton ailing. Fennel and Maennle were high for East Carolina. Toddy Fennel collecting 14 points and Frank Maennle 10.

The Gold and Purple quintet welcomed the two stars back against Lenoir-Rhyne College and poured it on to avenge the previous defeat. The Bucs never lost the lead as they piled up a 65-49 score. Charlie Bill Moye was high for the night with two dozen points while "Big Jack" Everton poured 13 points through the hoops.
On February 5, 1949, Coach Porter's squad traveled to Boone, N. C. only to succumb to a 54 - 41 defeat. Everton was high for the night with eleven points while Moye registered 9.
The offensive leaders for the '48-'49 campaign were Everton, Moye, Fennel, Tanner and Collie. The defensive players were Len Bauer, Frank Maennle and Ben Harrison as stalwart guards.
Maennle, Shuford and Fly proved to be ever consistent on the rebounds.

Five returning lettermen formed the bulk of the attack for the East Carolina Teachers College netters. The eight man team was led by former number two man Keith Hudson. Hudson played a fast game last year and was consistently hard to defeat.
"Iron Arm" John Heath held down the spot behind Hudson at the number two post. Heath was known for his iron arm serves.
The fastest rising star on the campus was Bob Williams, star netter from Thomasville, N. C. Bob was fighting for a higher berth that spring.
In Charlie Bill Moye and Ben Harrison were found the two versatile men who comprised the strong doubles combination. The two will be remembered long for stirring victories of yesteryear.
