May the 1948 TECOAN bring back memories of four years well spent. To the seniors, may your steps of progress be firm and sure and not as footprints in the shifting sands of time.
To Our Friend and Advisor
the TECOAN of
In our struggle in life, too many people forget to live; they merely exist. They lack those priceless possessions that shine forth - without restraint - in a smile. But we have Dean Jenkins to thank for renewing our faith that in this tumultuous, sometimes unfriendly world there are still some who draw their abundant living from deep wells and who comfort by the warmth of their genuine smiles.

THE
Dr. Leo W. Jenkins
Academic Dean
Growth in any endeavor requires effort. Satisfaction results from the realization of an achieved goal. Each new accomplishment marks a niche in the path of progress. There is always another frontier for the person with vision.
Your education has just begun. A foundation has been laid for the building of a super structure. Your future is in your own hands. As you attain objectives, your ambitions will multiply, your capacities will increase, and your life will grow richer and fuller. But in all your successes remember to have an abiding faith in the eternal Master who is always present in time of need.
East Carolina Teachers College is proud of you, and will be just as great a friend as you will let it be. We of the faculty wish to be remembered by you, and to share in the honors and prestige which will continuously attend your efforts.
Dr. John Decatur Messick President
You, the seniors, are to be congratulated for your willingness to accept the difficult and highly significant test of turning youth into productive citizens. Your future work will not be easy. The physical mental and spiritual requirements are so high that only a few of the many who try become teachers. You are among those few who have succeeded. The faculty and staff are proud of you and wish for you further success, health and happiness in all your future endeavors.
Dr. Leo W. Jenkins Academic Dean
Character is the most important attribute of a successful leader. There is no equivalent for it. It can have no substitute.
To inspire the oncoming generations to think rightly, to act honorably and to raise the level of thinking and living is the big job of the teachers of today.

MANY YEARS FROM NOW we will look back to the days of college life - the Soda Shop, a football game, the leaves on the campus in the Fall. Remembering this, we will understand that the books and papers of those bygone days were the arms and armor that protected us in the days of our never-ending futures.

The club's purpose is two-fold: a social organization intended to inspire fraternal feeling among ex-servicemen and help in the solving of their problems; a constructive group interested in the advancement of scholastic and athletic achievement on the campus.
With 140 members the club plans activities that encompass the entire school year. Last year the club sponsored a dance and minstrel with the net profit going into the Athletic Scholarship Fund. The same activities are planned for this year.

This summer the organization plans to send its president to Presidents' School in New York.
The Y. M. C. A. is open to all men at East Carolina, either students or faculty, who declare themselves in sympathy with the purposes of the organization.
The pledge of the Y. M. C. A. is: "Having declared my intention of making the purpose of the Young Men's Christian Association my own personal program of allegiance and service. I hereby pledge myself to live by the principle of faith and service through Christ for which it stands."

The 1948 TECOAN
