And so we went to High Point!
"We" meaning Mickey Boyette,
Edith Wilkerson. Dorothy Jean
Creech, Virgina Small. Alma Sim-
mons, Edna Powell, Rose Alice Lan-
caster, Sam Strickland, and Miss
Mamie Chandler, the Methodist Stu-
dent secretary.
The purpose of the trip to High
Point was to attend the annual Meth-
odist Student conference. Like all
other conferences there were speech-
es, banquets, and teas, but unlike all
other conferences these speeches, etc.
were highlights within themselves.
Dr. Wyatt Aiken Smart of Emory
university was the guest speaker of
the conference. After each of his
talks the students were left with de-
finite food for thought. The tea at
High Point college and the Garrett
Snuff program at the banquet were
definitely highlights of the confer-
ence.
Above all else there was a feeling
is sometimes lacking at conferences.
Bennett college in Greensboro, which
is a college for young Negro women,
was among those represented. The
delegates from Bennett had charge of
the program one morning and it was
one of the most outstanding ex-
periences of the conference. There
is something in associating with stu-
dents of another race, who are striv-
ing for the same goals and ideals as
ours, in a conference such as this that
makes one realize the true meaning
of brotherhood and fellowship. They
aren't just words; they take on a real
and vivid meaning.
The students of High Point college
really did a wonderful job in the plan-
ning and organization of the confer-
ence. They deserve all the praise and
credit that will be bestowed upon
them. Those who attended from
East Carolina Teachers col le g e
brought back many pleasant thoughts
and memories which they will not
soon forget!
"Now. why should anyone want to
interview me?" modestly questioned
Dr. Paul A. Toll when asked for an
interview.
In 193? Dr. Toll joined the faculty
of ECTC as a member of the Depart-
ment of Sociology and Economics.
Previous to this he had held two posi-
tions of importance. From 1925
through 1928 he was principal of the
Academic Department of a National
Sectarian School for Problem Boys
in Cannan, New York. Then he ac-
cepted a job at Ohio State university
where he assisted and later became
an instructor. The summers of 1930-
31 he taught at Wilmington college
in Ohio.
lr. Toll is a native of Ohio, where
he received most of his education.
His A. B. degree was earned at Wil-
mington college, Ohio; his II. A. at
Haverford college, Pa and his Ph
D. at Ohio State university.
By taking a peek at his hobbies one
can easily see that Dr. Toll is an out-
door man. He likes to go on hunting
trips and hikes. He remarked that
he certainly wanted to get out for a
hike while the sun was playing hide
and seek with the clouds.
When asked whether he could see
a change in the attitude of the stu-
dents since the beginning of the war
Dr. Toll replied, "I thought in the
autumn that there was concern on the
part of the freshmen Here he
paused and with a somewhat worried
expression continued, "but now I

Miss Bentley presented to the stu-

of being in service with Jie Waves,
the requirements and necessary train-

she opened the floor ?�
and answered many asked her
students.
Hardly had they learned where the
broom hangs when the commotion
began. There was that first dinner
; to prepare with the responsibility of
getting it on time and making it
palatable enough to protect the col-
lege infirmary from invasion. While
Pugh and Margie spent three hours
shopping for one meal's groceries,
the other girls busied themselves
with chasing gremlins from under
the sofa in the sun parlor and shin-
ing last quarter's finger-prints off
the door knobs.
With the completion of the first
dinner without too great a catas-
trophe, the first two cooks under-
stood Mrs. Bloxton's policy of eleven
o'clock curfew and take it from
them they were ready to crawl be-
tween the sheets at seven o'clock
(the first night); that is, if they
had got the dishes washed by then.
Learning Mrs. Bloxton's favorite
places for discovering dust doesn't
do you much good because she al-
ways finds a new one to spring on
you when you think you've dusted
all the most obvious spots. There
was the time Kay "forgot" to dust
the glass shelves in the sun-parlor
before going ok to class. When!
Mrs. Bloxton announced she would)
have a private talk with Kay after'
she discovered tiny particles of dust
collected on the shelves, she did the
wrong thing, becsuse Kay had
friends. When Mrs. Bloxton started
her little lecture and ran her fore-
finger over the little glass shelves,
there was no incriminating evidence,
but, anyway, Kay bad not polished
the brass pots nor watered the flow-
ers.

There was a time when the fam-
ily was on its best dignity; when
they got out their china, silver and
crystal; when Mary Virginia wore
her black dress and Pugh her gold
one to welcome guests to a care-
fully-prepared meal. Each occasion
prompted quite a bit of excitement
and preparation, and and not one
was without some mishap. Take
the time the stove got "off the
blink" (or should I say "on the
blink") and burned the six-pound
roast. But by the time Mrs. Bloxton
came to the rescue and administered
her first aid in cookery, no one

one fine word known as life!

Next Year's Officers
At the meeting of the Future
Teachers of America on Tuesday,
February 15. l4-l, the new officers
for 1944-46 were elected. Zula Pear-
son succeeds Rebecca Perry as presi-
dent. Other officers are Dora Bailey,

This completes the fifth year's
work for the Tobert H. Wright chap-
ter, which is the oldest branch of this
organization ia the state.
The monthly programs arranged
by Mildred White, vice-president,

of a professional spirit among pros-
pective teachers. Its other activities
have included making Red Cross
headdres! es, salvaging waste paper
and contributing to the scholarship
fund through purchase of defense
bonds.
Open to all students who plan to
teach, the local chapter has this year
had primary, grammar grade and
high school majors as members. By
increase in membership it has won a
place on the National Victory Roll.

The East Carolina Teachers college
alumni chapter of the South Pacific met in
the Officers' Club of a tropical island where
"Cocoanut College" is located, so Bill White-
hurst reports in a letter received here Feb.
I 3. Bill said he has found two other former
ECTC students out there. They are Ensigns
De Loatcfa and Norman Mayo. Bill had not
n Norman, but found out via the grape-
vine that he had just arrived. At his first
meeting with De Loatch the South Pacific
ehnott r was organized and the first meeting
held. "Ensign De Loatch and Lt. White-
hurst had a grand time. Memories were
discussed by all and after a final decision
that War Is Hell the senior member con-
vened the meeting until the next time we
could get liberty. We extend a hearty wel-
come to any member in the South Pacific
that might find 'Cocoanut College' to join
the chapter Lt. Whitehurst says his du-
ties are the usual ones of an instructor.
"i am meeting a fine bunch of fellows and
I find that N rth Carolina has a high rep-
resentation. Of the 'faculty' there are three
instructors from Eastern North Carolina
He is still getting the paper and we of the
stall are very glad you are enjoying it,
Bill, and here's hoping your newly organ-
ize! chapter of the Alumni Association will
be found by the ECTC boys who are sent
out there.
Lt. (j. g.) Herbert Wilkerson writes
from a South Pacific camp that everything
is going well and fast with him. He says
the Navy has a way of coping with home-
sickness by keeping you so busy you don't
have too much time in which to think about
home. "Time flies by so fast out here that
we dare not put things off for long or they
will never get done he writes. He has
been at his new address (Staff of Cbmsopae,
c o F. P. O San Francisco, Calif.) about
three weeks and says, "I am nearly used
to the old camp life again, with all its dust,
dirt, and grime. Enjoyed a most pleasant
afternoon last Monday (the letter was dated
Feb. 18). One of the boys here, a former
lawyer from Mississippi, had a couple of
diving helmets, and we went to the beach
a mile or so from camp and tried them out.
1 his type of helmet is only a piece of plate
glass set in rubber, fitting over your eyes
and nose, but you can see wonders with
them. The scenes we saw underwater were
like, only prettier, than the ones you see
in the movies of fish life in Florida. We
saw beautiful South sea fish, coral of all
colors, flowers, weeds and rocks. I sure
hope we get a chance to go back
Pfc. Garlan Bailey has been moving
around quite a bit lately from Maxwell
Field, Ala to Florida, to Vermont, to Ten-
nessee and now back to Maxwell Field. He
says the TECO ECHO is having a "helluva"
time finding him. "It seems useless to send
them close to five thousand miles when I
am only a few blocks from the post office
The girls here at school thought it was our
job to keep up the morale of you boys,
Garlan, but remarks like yours about the
Yankee girls never being able to come up
to par with the ECTC girls kinda boosters
up ours. "Just between you and me they
can't dance either. While in Vermont I
had a problem trying to convince them that
the square dance had gone out of style.
They thought the boys at Norwich Univer-
sity were hot stuff�first men they had seen
since the war started. Every weekend you
could see the horses and wagons coming
down from the surrounding mountains,
bringing the Daisy Mae's to our weekly
dance. Some fun, got quite a kick out of
it Usually in all the letters we get the
boys are talking about how long it has been
since they have seen a woman. Well, if
this is any cold comfort to you fellows, it
seems there are places still left where there
are nothing but women! As for the situation
here at ECTC, word has reached Garlan that
the Marines have the situation well in hand.
My! How- news travels! I feel that any
alumni will always get a warm welcome
when they come back, regardless of the
Marines.
Pvt. Charles Craven is "in the middle
of the desert" at Fort Sumner, New Mexico,
working in the Air Force physical training
program. Charles writes that the paper
brings back many pleasant memories of
ECTC. "That is a place you don't forget
easily. It would be the girls, I guess he
says. Charles declares he enjoys all the
paper, "even that Scumming column but
he wants to know if we can't stir up another
hot question on the campus so he can keep
in touch with what the moralists have to say
these days.
The flowers that bloom in the spring
tra-la aren't the only ones which blare forth.
with a blaze of color. For every campus
miss is a rainbow in disguise.
Fashion decrees that all the dye pots
be tipped�hence a colorful spring; and
Donald Nelson of - WPB (War Production
Board) nods his head for this mustn't In- a
one color spring. It would overtax the sup-
ply of that one color and thus create a
shortage, while placing a variety on the mar-
ket will make for originality (who wants to
meet herself walking down the street?) :
and what is more important, the use of a
variety of colors will keep the ball rolling.
Fashion has also decreed that this will
be a pastel spring. Again Donald Nelson
nods his head for it takes less dye to dye a
skirt lavender, Finstance, than it would to
dye the skirt purple. This does not mean
that dark colors are AWOL�far from it.
Deep blues, purples, some browns, and
fewer blacks are good�but better still are
pale blues, lavenders, beiges and greys. This
spring for the first time since Job's old tur-
kev hen was a chick, the height of fashion.
THE ACCEPTED, the what-everybody's-
wearing isn't navy blue and white or black
and white.
This spring you can wear what-you-
very-well-please and be just as fashionable
as the next one. The most prevalent colors.
however, are in the yellow, blue and off red
families, which with the neutral colors make
up just about every color there is.
The most outstanding, the Spring.
1944 color is purple; next vear (Spring.
1945) purple will still be a Spring, 1944

There is an old saying that every- i
one wants what they don't have or
cant get�and so it is with names.
All the Janes and Marys wish their
names were Margaret or Sally and
the Margarets and Sallys wish theirs
were Lucy or Ann. So�being tagged
with a long old-fashioned name for
life, they decide to adopt a nick-
name.
On the campus there is a wide,
variety of curious and absurd nick-j
names. Some people are known only.
by their nicknames. Look at "Babe" j
Hooks. Who would guess that that j
little bundle of dynamite was blessed
with the name Ophelia? Virginia
Knowles is another one. "Sit" is
her contribution to curious nick-
names. We can't figure out how
she ever happened to pick up Sit,
but strange things do happen here
at this little institution of larnin
I'll bet tho' that there isn't a name
n the campus any stranger than
Stanfield Johnson's "Rustic that
girls call him.
"Butch" Daniels and "Baby" Pear-
-all's nicknames are two of the most
appropriate yet. See what we mean?
That's a compliment to girls, I think.
According to statistics about fif-
teen odd ECTC women bear the
nickname of "Little Bit Just a
bit of sweetness aren't you, Gretchen
Staten ?
"Is" and "Moose" are also a couple
of nicknames that are pretty-well
known around campus.
Most of the good-looking blondes
don't seem to be satisfied with their
names. Helen Boyette has had hers
shortened down to "Hel Any par-
ticular reason, Hel? "Bootsie" Jones
says that the Marines like Bootsie
better than they do Margaret. It
must be nice to have that many
Marines - - - " "Winnie" Bell says
that Stanfield likes Winnie best. It
must be nice to have Stanfield!
Barbara Brewer confesses that one
of her nicknames is "Plug "Blimp"
Smith also confesses that he can't
understand why people call him
Blimp. We think it's cute tho so
don't let it worry you, Blimp.
