as "The Singing Horsemen of the
Steppes It is their first extensive
tour in America, and Teachers Col-
lege is exceedingly fortunate in being
able to secure one of the hundred
c ocert dates they are giving in their
coast to coast tour. Last year they
sang in some of the leading eastern
cities, and were received with wild
enthusiasm.
Serge Jaroff has been their leader
for the five years they have sung to-
gether. The 36 men composing the
chorus, all former officers in the Rus-
sian Imerpial Army, are now expa-
triates. During their internmeni in
a prison camp in Bulgaria, they
formed a small chorus under the lead-
ership of Serge Jaroff. who had been
choir conductor. Their fame gradual-
ly spread abroad until to-day this
chorus is considered perhaps the
greatest in the world. They always
sing in uniform and with military
precision.
They will be heard in concert only,
and will not broadcast.

As a closing number, all old Eraer-
sons were asked to stand and sing the

The program was given not only as
entertainment for the new girls, but
also to show the new girls a type of
work that the Emersons will be doing
throughout the vear.
A study of the universities, their
development and history was begun
at the first meeting of the year of the
American Association of University
Women.
Miss Lucile Turner as chairman of
the program committee introduced the
theme by saying that some knowledge
of the problems of the universities of
the earlier days might be helpful to
those interested in the universities of
the present.
Miss Lois Grisby, the first speaker
of the afternoon, talking on "The
Earliest Universities gave some
jdea of the origins and institutions of
their early schools and colleges, this
was a most interesting opening of the
subject. Miss Emma Hooper follow-
ed this with a very interesting ac-
count of "The Professor and the Stu-
dent of the Middle Ages She read
extracts from old documents and
stories that proved that, after all,
teachers and students were as human
as they are now, and that the chief
difference between the old and the
new is that of buildings and equip-
ment.
The mass of business that had ac-
cumulated during the summer vaca-
tion and the important problem pre-
sented by the president suggest a busy
year ahead. Readjustment of commit-
tees, the forming of new committees,
and the. discussion of activity pro-
jects made the business meeting ex-
ceedingly interesting.

To-day closes initiation week at
E. C. T. C. Practically all the new
students joined one of the three Lit-
erary Societies on the campus. The
raniers succeeded in getting more
tew students. The programs of initi-
ation were each separate and each
uccessful.
Sidney Laniers
Baa! Baa! Baa! E. C. T. C. has
been inhabited by goats this past
week, or one would think so after hav-
ing heard the pitiful attempts of some
of the new girls to use goat language.
However, by the last of the week, they
had become quite successful in the art.
Perhaps the most enjoyable part of
initiation was the privilege of getting
up mornings at 6:30 to meet the old
goats, and learn from them some goat
manners and customs. Do you re-
member the old saying that one can
get used to anything? The freshmen
say they have given that a thorough
test this week, and as a result, they
have decided that it is obsolete.
Wednesday morning when they
trolled into class with their hair
dicked back, no make up on, and
adorned with their short dresses,
everyone on the campus could sym-
pathize with them, having once been
through with the same thing�or did
they need sympathy? And by the
way, did you know that belts and
sashes have gone completely out of
style? Ask a freshman.
We hated to hurt the feelings of the
co-eds, and make them lose all the fun
they're getting out of school, by not
leting the new girls talk to them, but
it was aboslutely necessary. We
hope they'll forgive us. That was a
least giving the old girls a break
wasn't it ?
"To every beginning there must b
an end and the end of this week wa
one that will not soon be forgotten.
Saturday was truly last but not least.
After the big parade and many tort-
ures through which they went, came
the big party. This truly made up for
everything they had endured during
the whole week. They nearly began
to see that after all, it was worth it.

SPEAKS IN CHAPEL.
On Saturday, Mr. J. Y. Joyner
spoke at the chapel session. Mr.
Joyner was the first chairman of the
Board of Trustees of this college and
did much toward making it the place
it is to-day.
Mr. Joyner said that good roads,
manufacturing, farming and pleasure
came second to a child. A child is the
greatest resource in this nation and
can do more than all the spindles and
trucks in the world.

Miss Sallie Joyner Davis, member

ment and Miss Laura Rose member
of the History department attended
the celebration at Yorktown, October
IS and 19.
They brough back with them a de-
lightful report of both the town and
the celebration�below is a shorft
sketch of what they saw.

scarlet lines of the British slowly ap-
proaching and the laying dwn of their

of people everywhere and, best of all,
the spirit that prevaded the whole�
Not a jolly one of glorification but a
quiet strong spirit of genuine ap-
preciation of what the victory made
possible. It may sound sentimental,
I do not feel it so, but I felt as if I
were one of the man, there and yon-
der, together deeply, quietly, thankful
and happy. Was that the spirit of
America that I caught?"
REV. W. H. BRUNSON
SPEAKS AT VESPER.
Misses Nulton and Gor-
rell Render Voilin
Duet
Do we live without a purpose in
life, or do we ever come in contact
with people who have no purpose?
This questioned was asked by Rev.
Brunson, pastor of the Christian
Church, of Ayden, N. C, when he
spoke at Vesper last Sunday night.
Are you just drifting along? We
should have a purpose in college and
have the determination to succeed in
spite of all the handicaps which we
encounter. Along with our purpose
we should also have a definite plan.
Let each of us think for ourselves, act
for ourselves, even though we are
alone, if we are sure we are right our
plan should be in harmony with God's.
Each of us should have a plan and
purpose in life�a plan and purpose
for this college year�and have a
prize in view.
Well, the long-waited for week has
come and gone. This week, that both
the old and new girls looked forward
to with a good deal of enthusiasm.
The new girls looked forward with a
feeling of dread while the old girls
anticipated one of the biggest kicks
of the year. Here's when all the old
girls got revenge for their part in
last year's initiation. They have as-
sumed dictatorship and used their
authority.
Everyone expected one of the best
laughs of the season. They were
able to get to their mail without
squeezing through and being stepped
on by a mob of freshmen who had to
have their mail before breakfast.
This week the new girls had to stay
out of the postoffice until after meals.
Another thing that was dear to the
heart of every upperclassman was
that feeling that their rights of being
superior were not trampled on. Here
fo ronce they had their way. The new
girls had to stand aside for old girls
entering the dining room.
No make-up, old hats, 1928 style
dresses, and the Society pass-word
were also special features for the
week.
Saturday night was the climax, and
as the climax is always the most in-
teresting point this one was nothing
different. Cotton pajamas; old sweat-
ers wrongside out; one bedroom shoe
and one slipper; slickers, umbrellas;
hair in plaits, and noses red with lip-
stick furnished an interesting sight
for the audience.
Dr. Louis Ferdinand, 23, a grand-
son of the former German Kaiser,
worked for two years incognito at the
Ford Motor Co. in Detroit.

SATURDAY, 31, 1931.
Leisure grows in popularity,
now that so many people wonder
what is the use of working so
hard for money when you will
lose it if you try to save it.�
Elmer Davis.
It is not unlikely that in the
nexl 50 years America will be
divided into two worlds: the
world of Peter and the world of
pan,�Dr. Fulton Sheen.
Those people are strongest
who do not in an emergency let
their emotions dominate their
reason.�Aristide Briand.
Some of the new Poos seem to
blame Marjorle Flythe for their
present predicament, and are
showering their vengeance on
articles in her room. She wants
to know, "Is that nice?"
It seems that Laniers think
it's time for eo-eds to begin
primping. Certainly you have
noticed the latest versions of
Indian and Cowboy costumes
that are appearing around Aus-
tin Hall.
Two new Emersons forgot to
pay the proper respect for
Dr. Frank Wednesday morning.
Their society president reme-
died this by making the girls in-
terrupt class long enough to
make their best bow before His
Highness.
SCRIBBLERS
The Scribblers Club has been
organized so that an efficient
staff for the Teco Echo may be
-hosen. The present staff, who
have ever so slightly dipped
their fingers in ink, and attemp-
ted to put in print the news of
the campus, realize their weak-
ness and their lack of training.
It is their great hope that next
year there will be a staff to
which a newspaper and its parts
will not be strangers. It is
their desire that no other staff
will feel that the task is too big
for them.
All students, to be eligible for
the staff next ear must be a
member of scribblers, so if you
are interested in any phase of
newspaper work join the club
and support your college paper.

THOMAS A. EDISON.
Several days ago Thomas A.
Edison, one of the worlds most
famous men died. Yet, though
death has claimed him, no man
is more vitally living to-day
than Edison. There is probably
no living man whose influence
reaches so far and effects so
many lives as Edison through
his gigantic inventions.
A great number of his inven-
tions are essential parts of our
campus. Our electric lights,
dynamos, mimigraph machines,
radios, phonographs, and mod-
ern movies, are a result of the
great inventors works.
Edison put the millions he
made on his inventions back in-
to service for humanity. He
was no miser. Material wealth
held a very small place in the
life of this great personality.
Age was not his enemy. His
mind was still young with am-
bition and new ideas. He died
in the midst of a great dream�
the dream of a process for the
manufacture of rubber. Had
he lived it would soon have be-
come a reality and not a dream.
In coming years Biographies
will be written on him: school
children will study his life and
his works; encyclopedias will
praise him; scientist will honor
his memory; and into the far
corners of the universe his in-
ventions will serve mankind
down through the coming ages.

HITCH YOUR WAGON TO A
STAR.
"Nothing ventured, nothing
gained
The person who sets his goal
high is the one who obtains
heights in this life.
The higher the ambition the
higher the goal reached. If one
hitches his wagon to a star, even
though the star is not reached,
the goal reached is high; be-
cause in having such a high am-
bition and striving to realize it,
seme high degree of success will
be obtained.
Jt is the man who strives that
succeeds. The loafer and the
man who shirks his duty has no
place in the race. This is an age
of progress and forward move-
ment. If we are to succeed, if
we are to be worth while to our-
selves, and our school we must
set our goal high and strive to
reach it. We must hitch our
wagon to a star.
EMERSON, LANIER, POE ?
What society did you join?
This question was asked time
and time again all over the cam-
pus. Be an Emerson! Be a
Lanier! Be a Foe! Were the
answers they received.
With those cordial invitations
lief ore the poor freshmen, they
turned with a hopeless appeal to
the upperclassmen. "What so-
ciety must I join?" They im-
immediately met with the reply,
"Be an Emerson, Lanier, or
Foe whatever that particular
upperclassman happened to be.
So, Freshmen, since the up-
perclassmen didn't untangle the
web for you, it seems as if it was
a case of your own opinion in the
Society question. The one you
joined is the best.
There has been some discussion
lately as to why students are so care-
less with the books they use in the
library. Especially in the reference
room does one see the results of
neglect. Why is it that books are
left lying on the tables where they
were last used? Certainly it would
be easy to walk to the shelf where the
book was found, and put it again in
its place; and the work of the girls
who help there would be less. An-
other way to help both the workers
and the students who have to use the
reference books is to put the book in
its proper place. It requires only a
little more time to put volume nine
between volumes eight and ten, than
to stick it in the first vacant space
you see; but what a help to the next
one who wants to use it!
o
THE TOBACCO SALE.
On October 15th, President Wright
asked the student body if they should
like to go to a tobacco sale, especially
those who had never attended one.
Nearly everyone's hand went up. It
seemed funny that so many young
people living in the greatest tobacco
growing state in the union could have
grown up to the age of attending col-
lege and still be ignorant of the pro-
cedure of a tobacco sale.
Dr. Wright kindly consented to give
us two periods on October 20th for
these students who so desired to at-
tend a sale. Accordingly on this day
the student body assembled in chapel.
The air was keen with excitement.
Some were thrilled over the new
about-to-be experience, while others
were elated over the fact of a "class-
cut that won't count
After dividing the students into five
groups, putting each group under the
direction of some faculty member,
each leader with his followers depart-
ed to the different warehouses. Ar-
riving there the group was turned
loose to learn anything they could
from anyone they cared to ask.
About noon, after running up and
down the aisles, practically under the
auctioneer's feet, for an hour, every-
body came back. Some were the
wiser for the trip, having learned
from some men of the town a few
things of importance; yet the majority
got their blistered heels for nothing.
One thing that everyone knew was
that tobacco went up three cents per
pound while we were there. It is good
to think we do a little good in this ol'
world of ours.

Virginia one week with her son.
'�Nothing eventful but I had a very
pleasant time she states.
You'll never guess what Mr. Gimm
did during his vacation. He worked
on his mother's farm in Greene
County, Its the first time in '�Good-

Then, when everybody was gone in
September he stayed there right by
himself and worked. He had a
mighty lonesome time.
Miss Gray said she had not been off
of the campus since the term began.
Even though Bill Hearne's isn't here
this fall Mi. Frank still goes squirrel
hunting. He also plays quite a bit of

While up there he plans to visit Vil-

How many of you folks know that
"Dr. Meadows is a farmer? It's a
fact. He owns three thousand five-

some farm land near Washington. He
visits these quite frequently.
Mrs. Spillman just goes everywhere.
She went up to Yorktown Saturday
and she's going to the Baptist State

'RESBYTERIAN GIRLS
DELIGHTFULLY ENTERTAINED
Monday evening, the Presbyterian
girls enjoyed a delightful party al the
Presbyterian Church. As we Reared
the church grounds, a witch directed
us to a wide open space where every-
one was gathering. Here we were
divided into different groups�owls,
bats, cats, devils, etc. Contests be-
tween the groups followed. Each
group elected its cheer leader and
yelled for its contestant. Unhappily,
the "devils as usual won out in the
contests. But the "bats" received the
prize for the most pep.
Each group then lined up and filed
into the basement of the church, where
many skeltons, and ghosts gave u- all
creepy feelings�although we did try
to convince ourselves that it was only
Halloween. A very appalling ghost
story was told to the dumb stricken
crowd. Then we were 'Mowed to go
into the numerous booths to learn our
fate in many different subjects�
Francis Harvey's occupation, by the
way, is to be a sweet, loving mother!
Some learned that they would inherit
money at the age of 45. Of course
some of the prophecies were not so
pleasing.
We were again allowed to go out
on the grounds. But we were led on
mysterious paths. Happily all along
the way we found peanuts, apples,
doughtnuts, marshmallows, and last of
all a big cup of hot tea to warm our
dampened spirits after our trip to the
underworld.
It was a real party. Thanks to the
Presbyterians!

Tuesday night the nominating com-
mittee of the Student's Club met at
the Parrish House to decide on the
nominees for this year. The mem-
bers of the committee found on ar-
riving at the Parrish House that they
were to cook supper which they did
with much enjoyment. The table
was set in front of the open fire in
the Students Center, and a sapper
consisting of steak, potato chips,
pickles, jam, hot rolls, and coffee was
served. After supper every one sat
around the fire and toasted marsh-
mallows.
Those present were the members of
the committee: Carolyn Conner, Marg-
uerite Lane, Catherine Faugher, Joy
Pickard, Mrs. Howard and Capt.
Estabrook.
Mrs. Bradsher stayed at E. C. T. C.
during summer school. She helped
Mrs. Bloxton at the close of summer
school she visited Raleigh, her former
home. She also spent a week with
relatives in Roxboro.
Mr. Flanagan attended a joint meet-
ing of the National Tax Association
and Southern Eastern Economical As-
sociation in Atlanta, Georgia, last
week. He reports to have heard very
good discussions and interesting
papers read. He paid a short visit to
his home in Chattanooga, Tennessee
on his trip and returned to E. C. T. C.
Sunday night.

Sallie Joyner couldn't even find
Roanoke Island on the map yesterday.
The pressure around here was too
much for Beecher last week. He had
to take a week end vacation. Of
course he said he was attending some
kind of a meeting hut-any how Miss
Morris persuades him to chase all the
girls out of his room immediately
after class. Their crushing" may
prove fatal.
On October 17th, the old and new
members of the Athletic Association
met in the Campus Building. There
are two teams of the association-the
Athenians and the Olympians. The
captains of both teams did good work
in gaining new members. Bertha
Walston was successful in gaining the
most members for the Athenian team.
Various games, contests, dancing
and refreshments were enjoyed. We
hope the girls' interest in athletics
will continue.
It is the desire of the Athleic As-
sociation to make the basket ball
games an event that every one will
enjoy. This will require work. If
there is any one who does not know-
where the ball court is�it is on the
back campus. Come out and practice
with your team.

Dr. and Mrs. Rebarkcr delightfully

class from the ' Immanuel Baptist
Church, at their home on Tuesday

have all the girls become acquainted
with each other, and with he teacher.
The girls greatly enjoyed the games
of anagrams and Ping Pong which
were played throughout the after-
noon.
The guests were invited to try their
art of candy making, and there seem-
led to be quite a few artists, if their
candy was a sample of their work.
At five-thirty the guest expressed
their thanks for the good times af-
forded them by their host and hostess.
and departed for the college much en-
couraged by the results of an after-
noon of fun.

that the Seniors bad a privilege of

Shall we neglect the child, allow its
life to be less complete, and subtract
from its chances of success, or shall
we build more and better roads?

IT'S A SHAME!
By Bertha Walston
Funny, why I never thought of it,
Yret I seldom ever think.
Funny, why I never thought I loved
you.
'Til that afternoon, sitting by the
brink.
The water, how it sparkled
In the last rays of sun!
And the scenery all around us seemed
to be a painting
That some artist had neatly done.
Throwing in a dusk of sunset
And letting a stream go rippling
through,
Then he gave the finishing touch
By carelessly dropping a spot of paint.
And he let me call it you.
The trees were standing 'round
A whispering hope to me,
And you sat looking in the water
Where our images you could see.
But I wasn't thinking of our images,
Nor the sunsets beautiful hue;
The thought that occupied my mind
Was, simply, that I loved you.
Funny, why I never thought of it,
And why I didn't try to kiss you!
It's a shame I wasn't thinking,
Yet I seldom ever do.
