The
Tecoan
1923
NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-THREE
Volume One
PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF
EAST CAROLINA TEACHERS COLLEGE
GREENVILLE, N. C.
Foreword
THIS is the first volume of Teachers College Annual -The Tecoan. It is published by the various classes of the College. By the permission of the Faculty, this volume is substituted for the spring issue of the Quarterly.
In this volume we have attempted to portray the life of the college as it appears to the camera. If such portrayals are disappointing to you, blame the camera, and not those in charge of the Annual. On the other hand, if they should recall to you scenes that have become closely and happily intertwined in your lives, and if they should cause you to re-live the joyful days of college life, we shall feel amply compensated for all our efforts.
We wish to take this opportunity of thanking all who aided in making this book a possibility; particularly do we wish to express our deep gratitude to those officers and teachers who gave unstintingly of their time and who cooperated so loyally with the students in making this, our first effort, a success. We can only hope that future classes will receive the same hearty cooperation.
The Editors.

(To tune of: "Believe Me of All Those Endearing Young Charms.")
Black and gold wave on high
For a class that is dear
To the hearts of our classmates so true.
They're the symbol of a spirit so loyal and right,
That will bring hack fond mem'ries to you.
Alma Mater, we'll praise all the rest of our days,
You'll inspire us to heights yet unknown.
We'll be grateful to you more and more as days pass,
Alma Mater, we call you our own.

Class Poem
There have been many classes
We've known from year to year-
Loyal, noble, faithful, true.
They never knew a fear.
There have been days of struggle
To make the grade up hill,
And many days of pleasure
That linger with us still.
The climb is nearly finished,
Our goal almost in sight.
Under colors black and gold
We've nearly won the fight.
Though days may come and days may go
The days that we will cherish
Are our Junior-Senior days.
Of all, these will not perish.
-A. H. F., '24.

MABEL THOMAS
Pittsboro, N.C.
Abounding in wit, duty and good philosophy."
Member of Poe Society; Member of Y. W. C. A.; Chairman of Music Committee 1919-'23;
President of Student Government, 1922-'23.
Mabel's the musician of our class, and merry music does she give us. She is an excellent stu-
dent, as well as a capable and efficient leader. She is always full of fun and is the life of any
crowd. Her originality is very prominent in the English themes she writes. She is a good
psychologist and will, perhaps, teach psychology some day.
LOIS HASKINS
Oriental, N. C.
"Pleasure sometimes, but not always."
Member of E. A. Poe Society, 1919-23; Editor-in-Chief of "TECOAN."
Lois is gentle and good, and has winning ways that we all would like to possess. She is always
at her post of duty just on time, and does the social stunt for our classes too. She is always the
same sweet girl that everyone loves. She is friendly, and has a smooth and even disposition and
is also an excellent entertainer. When once you have been with her, you want to be again.
21
NONIE JOHNSON
St. Paul, N. C.
"A Smile is n blessing; a hearty laugh cannot be estimated."
Lanier Society; First Vice-President of entire Alumnae Association; Chairman of Social Service
Committee of Y. W. C. A., 1919; Critic of Class, 1920; President of Robeson County Club,
1923; Class Representative to Student Council, 1923; President of Pitt County Alumnae
Association, 1923.
Everyone is not gifted with an optimistic nature, but among the few that are is Nonie. It
seems good to meet her and hear her cheery, companionable greeting as she passes by. " Ring-
stand," a name she acquired in the chemistry laboratory, has a sense of humor that downs the
blues for other people as well as for herself. In her sunshiny, happy way, she lives, and, living,
makes the world a little more pleasant for the rest of us.
MILDRED MAUPIN
Culpepper, Va.
"A sweet disposition is a gift of the gods."
Lanier Society; Lanier Glee Club; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet Member, 1917; Treasurer of Y. W.
C. A., 1918; School Glee Club, 1918-20'; Treasurer of Lanier Society, 1918; Secretary of
Lanier Society, 1919; Chairman of Inter-Society Committee, 1920; Historian of Class,
1920; Associate Editor nl Annual, 1923.
No matter how highly we may prize our " Made in Carolina" products, we do not value Mildred
less because she is not present in that list. Those of us who have the privilege of knowing her
know she is a diligent student, possessing the knack of a reday answer to any question (and it's
usually correct). A good friend and a partner in anything that comes within student govern-
ment limits. a saying that is not applicable to all is true of her: "It is more pleasant to be
with her than to be without her."
ORENE HOLLOWELL
Tyner, N. C.
"She is serious, sometimes gay,
Yet she makes things go her way."
Captain of the Basketball Team, 1918-'20; President of Athletic League, 1919-'20; Member
of Lanier Society; Member of Lanier Glee Club, 1918-'20; School Glee Club, 1918-'20;
President of Alhlctic League 1921-'22; Lanier Glee Club, 1921-'22; School Glee Club,
1921-'22.
Of all the things that she can do well tennis stands out prominently. She reveals in it, and is never
happier than when playing a real, snappy game. With a lot of "pep" and strong determina-
tion to win, she won an enviable record in tennis. This attitude of hers not only makes her a
star performer in athleticsm but one in other activities as well. She tackles all things with never
a thought of failing, and somehow, through all the difficulties, she steers a straight, true course.

Prophecy
Twenty Years Later.
MY DEAR SPONSOR:-
Perhaps you don't remember that you were onco a part of our class. Perhaps
you don't remember us at all, for you were such a tiny tot then. But we have not
forgotten you, not by any means, and we never will.
Do you recall our happy Nonie Johnson? You will certainly be shocked, I'm
sure, to learn that she is a bunch of nerves and complaints. Why, she's a regular
grouch. I was never so surprised as I was when I walked into a class room in
Porto Rico and found Nonie "bossing the job." with the aid of a healthy-looking
switch. No, she has never married. She has taught until she feels there is noth-
ing else for her to do. She might rest awhile if she could only see the wreck it has
made of her. She's positively forgotten how to smile, even.
Aren't you glad there aren't so many more to tell you about? But they all
asked to be remembered to you, so I'm doing as requested. Please be patient
just awhile longer. It won't all be disillusions.
Orene Hollowell is the same person in regard to her indifference toward spinster-
hood, but other great changes have been wrought. She once was serious and
philosophical, but now - well, she's what folks used to call a "flapper." With the
necessary accessories to such a name, she lolls her time away in the various re-
sorts of the world. She lives only for present pleasures, and if she is serious she
successfully conceals it. What a different person she is! Strange what time will
do for us, isn't it?
Can you guess what Mildred Maupin is interested in at present? I understand
that she's a lecturer, a staunch supporter of the modern girl and her rights. All
over the world she is being received with great enthusiasm, and large audiences
attend each of her lectures. She has become a brilliantly interesting speaker. I
don't know why, but I always predicted Mildred a quiet, serene life. Perhaps it
isn't yet too late for her to settle down, though.
I had a very pleasant trip to Washington this summer, and while walking down
Pennsylvania Avenue I noiiced a great crowd gathered on one of the street
corners. After inquiring, I learned that a suffragette meeting was being held.
I made my way through the throng, and beheld Lois Haskins in full male attire
following in the footsteps of Susan B. Anthony. I learned that for many years
Lois had been the women's leader, and she had achieved great success in ob-
otaining women's equal rights. You remember what a man hater Lois was!
25
While glancing over the society columns of a New York City paper I was very
much surprised to see Mabel Thomas as the leader of Fifth Avenue society. Later
in the summer, I went to visit her, and her home was the most beautiful that I
had ever seen. She was giving a big dinner dance in my honor the evening I
arrived, and what a wonderful time we had! Her husband was a very rich banker.
How happy she and her husband were! Mabel had indeed fooled us, for we all
thought that she would be the old maid of our class, but one never can tell, you
know.
Am I through? I'm sorry, for it has been a real pleasure to tell you something
about the members of our class. I believe you have an interest in us even though
it may be slight, and I'm sure we are interested in you. Don't let your various
other interests keep you from writing us, occasionally, at least.
With very best wishes for your happiness and success, I am,
Most sincerely yours,
CLASS SPRIT.

Senior Normal Class Song
Round us at twilight comes stealing,
Memories to us that are dear,
Dreams of our days in the classes,
And of our class without fear.
Chorus:
Twenty-three, twenty-three,
The class that we love best;
In the sea of memory you're dearer than the rest.
Happy days, fearless days,
Among our classmates true
We stand alone and boast you our own
The class of twenty-three.
Chorus:
Come, girls, with hearts full of laughter,
Come, and let's be true
To our dear old classmates, come often,
We wish for them pleasures anew.

MARY RUTH ALLSBROOK
Greenville. N.C.
"Work while you work - play while you play."
In Ruth we find a combination of sunshine and laugh-
ter. She never leaves her smile behind, because it is a
part of her. As to her future - well, there are rumors
and rumors, you know- but it could be nothing but
bright, whether she enters the teaching profession or-
some other!
ANNIE LOLA ARNOLD
Vanceboro.N.C.
"Her hair is not more sunny than her smile."
There's a ray of sunshine to be found in the darkest
places when Annie Lola is around. A sweet disposition
a strong friend, a good sport-all these are found in her.
MARY BAGGETT
Lumber Bridge, N. C.
"I pin my faith to no man's sleeve
Have I not two eyes of my own."
They say that daisies won't tell, but if you want to
tell anything, tell Mary. She is the most confidential
girl on the hill, and as true as steel. Loyal, dependable
studious-that's Mary.
ARLINE BARBER
Wilmington, N.C.
"Behind those blue eyes there lies much mischief."
Arline is a girl who needs no one to lead her. She does
what she thinks is best, and is seldom wrong in it. One
would hardly think there is much fire behind those blue
eyes, but woe unto you if you try to find out. She
stands well in her class, and with all the :get up" she
has I am sure she will make a sucess in whatever she
undertakes.
ELMA BARNES
Branchville, Va.
"Smile and the world smiles with you."
Elma is a hard worker, and she always meets her tasks
and difficulties with a smile. We know that her strong
ambition and her sunshiny disposition will bring her
much success wherever she is
MILDRED BEAMON
Stantonsburg. N. C.
"To see her is to love her.
To know her is to praise."
If you desire a pal with a sunny, lovable disposition,
seek Mildred. Lucky are they who gain the loyal,
affectionate friendship of this true-hearted girl.
30
ZULU BELLE
Troy, N. C.
"She can who thinks she can."
Here she comes! Happy-go-lucky girl! Good na-
tured, dependable. What more could be said of her?
She always smiles and ehanges our gloom to mirth.
We expect to hear of Zulu later, and perhaps she'll be
found "seconding the motion."
NORA BLACKMORE
Warsaw, N. C.
"To thine own self be true."
Nora hails from Warsaw. she's a serious-minded
girl, and realizes a sense of duty. Even though she has
a serious view of life, she has a sense of humor. She
never talks unless she has something to say, and she
never fails to help those less fortunate than herself.
Though rather quiet, she has the knack of winning
many friends, and I think it can be truthfully said that
those won are never lost.
HATTIE BOSWELL
Wadesboro, N.C
"With a heart of cheer I like the girl who faces what she
must."
hattie is our ambitious girl-one who always wants
to lead her class, and thus far has realized her desire.
"On time and never late" is her motto, and she's always
"there" ready for business.
EDYTHE BRADELY
Seaboard, N. C.
"She may be serious, she may be gay,(
But she's a rare good pal in a rare good way."
Without a number of different qualities we find in
Edythe. If she can't create excitement in any other
way, she just starts raving about "Roy." We all feel
if Edythe doesn't tell us the latest school news, we would
be hopelessly lost. she makes such a handsome man
that some of the Juniors have been heard to say, "Oh,
wasn't Edythe Bradely the best looking man?" Edythe
has stage ambition, and unless something happens, and
happens soon, I'm afraid it will be hopeless case for
the "Dr." But we feel sure she will succeed in whatever
she undertakes. Good luck to you, old girl!
ROSA BRASWELL
Nashville, N. C.
"To know her is to love her."
A funny girl is Rosa. At times she is as quiet as our
history recitation period, and again she chatters and
giggles without ceasing. In class we never hear much
from her, but when she is among her friends she is
always talking and expressing her opinions. Rosa has
been a member of our class only a year, but she leaves
a place that will be hard to fill when she is gone.
NANNIE BRAY
Camden, N. C.
"Shun not the struggle; face it."
Nannie is a pal good and true- a bright, energetic
girl, never shirking the most difficult task, but always
meeting it with a feeling of, "I can do it if I try."
Though she isn't heard much, we all know she has a
lovable disposition, and the class feels fortuante in
having such a friend.
31
MYRA BRIDGEMAN
Swan Quarter. N. C.
"She's kind, she's modest, sincere, and true.
More studious, more generous than most of you."
Myra is quiet, dignified and faithful to a degree that
commands admiration from her classmates; a good,
lovable girl, whose high sense of humor exceeds the
average. She is jolly and full of life, and will always be
remembered as a loyal comrade.
ELOISE BRIDGER
Windsor, N. C.
"Not afraid of work, but not in sympathy with it."
Where can you find Eloise on a sunshiny afternoon at
3:30, when not in school? Rest room. What does
Eloise like better than "Lib" and "Lil?" Hot choco-
ate. What does Eloise like better than math? Spell-
ing. One of the prettiest girls in the class, she knows
just what to wear to look her best. A good sport and a
true pal are her chief characteristics.
LILLIAN BRITT
Buie. N. C.
"To know her is to love her."
Lillian is a girl of rare type, and her ingenuity will
keep her always in the right. She gives her whole soul
and being to her work, and a duty she never shirks.
RUTH BRITTON
Woodville. N. C.
"Not too serious, not too gay.
But a good fellow day by day."
Ruth is one of our band who is good-hearted and
sympathetic to the very highest degree. She is usually
found directing her own business, yet she takes an ac-
tive part in every organization of which she is a mem-
ber. She does her work well, and then has time to sit
on the campus and converse with her friends as they
come and go.
MILDRED BRODIE
Tarboro. N. C.
"Pluck makes luck."
Mildred likes college life in general, but home much
better. At first she thought of college life as a joke, but
one day something intercepted her path which caused
her to take life more seriously - practice teaching. She
is very ambitious. Watch her succeed!
HELEN BROWN
Greenville. N. C.
"What is worth doing at all is worth doing well."
Although we did not enjoy the privilege of having
Helen as a "C," we have doubly enjoyed having her as
a "D." She is a rare combination of attractiveness
and diligence-a girl who is a valuable asset to the class,
and one whom we all admire.
32
KATHRYN BROWN
Mocksville, N. C.
"Life without laughin is a dreary blank."
Avoid strong drink-for coffee maketh you nervous!
A good sport? Indeed she is, and the "Committee"
couldn't exist without "Kat." Besides the success she
makes in the teaching profession, she's specializing in
the art of making friends-she's succeeding there, too,
(like everything else she attempts), 'cause everybody
likes "Kat." She's a jolly good pal, but she has a
serious side, too,-'specially when one of the "Com-
mittee" has an idea.
BONITA BRUCE
Mars Hill, N. C.
"Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite
variety."
There is never a dark cloud but has a silver lin-
ing. When searching for this silver lining look for
"Pid." If she cannot cheer you with words, her music
will, for our violinist is "Pid." An all-round sport is
"Pid," and we can only say, " She's the stuff!"
ARNETTE BRYAN
Garner, N.C.
"A sunny disposition is half the battle."
Arnette is the little sunshine of our class. No matter
what be the trouble, she always has a "prophecy"
which drives away our frowns in a jiffy. Maybe that
"prophecy" is what makes her so populaar. She is
always giving sunshine in the darkest places and the
gloom of studies, and that is why we all love her so.
BONNIE BUNCH
Edenton, N. C.
"She is jolly, good-natured and true
And her share she is willing to do."
Bonnie, who is blessed with personality and gifted
with charm that makes everlasting friends, will always
be remembered by her classmates as companionable,
unselfish and lovable. In her jolly way she goes around
advocating the saying, "laugh and the world laughs
with you; weep, and you weep alone."
NELLIE BURBAGE
Bath. N.C.
"She is pretty to walk with, interesting to talk with, and
pleasant, too, to think on."
Nellie is a very studious girl, and very ambitious to
make a success. The class of '23 feels that Nellie's
efforts to make a success will not be in vain. She will
be either an "Old Maid School Teacher." for which
she is now training- or- well, a teacher of one. Who?
Err Ronald!
LUCIE PEARLE CARRINGTON
Stem, N. C.
"Divinely tall, and full of grace.
Surely you know this maiden with the lovely face."
Conscientious! Now, you've said it! " Shortie's"
authoritative personality, winsome ways and sunny
disposition has won a place in our hearts for her.
33
GAYLE CHEEK
goldston, N.C.
"Still water runs too deep."
"Cheek." to those who know her, with her dainty
and lovable way, has won a place in each of our hearts.
She is never too busy that she cannot find time to play
tennis for one-half hour every afternoon. At this rate
she will soon fulfill her desire to be a champion tennis
player.
LOUISE DIGGS
Rockingham, N.C.
When duty and pleasure clash, let duty go to smash."
When Louise is around, we are always sure of a good
time. But she isn't all frivolitym and in the serious side
of her we find equally as much to love as in the frivolous.
We think Louise is living up to her favorite slogan,
"Day by day, in every way, I'm growing fatter and
fatter, and better and better."
GRACE DIXON
Elm City, N. C.
" 'Doll Baby' is what we call her. Look and see if you
agree."
Petite? Yes, but it happens to be quality this time
instead of quantity. Her favorite expression is, " I am
about to laugh." Three cheers for " Doll Baby." the
cutest girl in the class of "23.
MAGGIE DIXON
Elm City. N. C.
If 'Rice' is the 'Staff-of-life,' you'll never hear of 'Mag'
yielding to the punishment known as starvation."
Even though the "best-all-round" and "most influ-
ential" are parts of her make-up, you'll never miss
hearing a "sporty" report when you mention the fol-
lowing three; "Bottle," "door" and "cafe." And
now that the time has come for her to depart from the
class which has been guided by her leadership during
the years of '21 and '23, we grant her the privilege of
establishing a "Banking and Trust Co." anywhere she
so desires.
CLARA DOWDY
Harbinger, N. C.
"Where there's a will there's a way."
Clara has just the proper mixture of common sense
and justice, severity and sweetness to make her loved
respected bv all. she is always there when it comes
to work in Y.W.C.A., Society and other college organ-
izations. Clara is dependable, otherwise she would
never have been voted the most reliable girl in our class.
Her strong character and strong will tell us that she will
eventually, with Ora, carry out her long-cherished
travel plan.
HILDA DUKE
Ahoskie, N. C.
"Life is full of laughter, but even laughter ends,
give me instead forever the friendship of my friends."

always there when music is wanted. For two years she
has been a leader in the musical and social world of
E. C. T. C. What are we "gonna" do without her?
"Red" is the best old sport in the world. If everyone
were " Red" there wouldn't be a single stranger to be
found. She is willing to play for a crowd, but a crowd
doesn't stop her, for she might even play for "Moore."

miration of the opposite sex.

"good time" to flavor 'em up.

Clayton, N.C.
"Matilda can dance, Matilda can walk,
But no one can beat Matilda talk."
Dear old "Tilley"! Though a big talker of our school,
is one we all love and cherish. She never studies - never
had to, really, but every once in awhile her conscience
sends out a warning, so she grabs a book, runs to the
library and reads references long since due, jots down a
few notes frantically, then goes to breathe sweet air
once more. No. "Tilley" is not a joke-she's just a
fine, wholesome, whole-souled girl, and we all love her.
40
ROSALIE MCEACHIN
Maxton, N.C.

good student, a girlof solid judgement and with a good
sense of humor.

Good looks, ability, attractiveness and a "sport"
combine to make up this pleasing personality known as
Mary Louise. She has defied the old saying that
"beauty is only skin deep" by her success as a debater.

college life-especially the making of hot chocolate
under all imaginable conditions (such as beds, dressers,
etc.) hail-fellow-well-met with everyone, she has won
a host of friends, who consider themselves fortunate in
knowing such a girl.

ciplinarian in the teaching world.

full of humor), and as we meet her outside - quiet, dig-
nified. She's a friend worth having.
42
ALICE POPE
Raleigh, N.C.

lutely true blue, and we count it a privilege to know her.

crocheting she entertains her friends with humor and
hearty laughs. Too, Mae Willis is very brilliant and
studious when she is interested in a subject.

watching out for, because she is on the Council. Really,

the above motto.
43
NOMA ROGERS
Roxboro, N. C.
"Thy modesty is a candle to thy merit."
This member of our class has a precious gift-the abil-
ity to attract little children. Yet there is no mystery

always gets on class, and she gets there with the goods,
too. Pattie's slight in stature, but big as to a kind and
generous heart. Why can't we have more like her?

task is done.

Scotland Neck, N. C.
"To her stream of talk there is no dam."
After digging three terms under careful watchcare of
our "Psychologist," Elsie "Mae's" classmates have
come to the conclusion that she can easily "adapt her-
self to any situation." She's to be envied of the fact
that she can read novels until 10:30 at night, and then
show up better on class next day than anyone else!
Thoughtful and unselfish? That's what she is
exactly-she thinks doubly-once for herself, and the
other for her roommate. With an I. Q. like hers we
know she's "gonna" succeed.

Virgilina, Va.

memory. We predict for her a most successful future
in whatever she undertakes to do.

"From care I'm free,
Why can't they all be happy like me.?"
"Pat" is a treasure-when we need a friend we go to
her, for never was one so willing to help, especially when

can sum "Pat" up as being a true, lovable and sweet
girl, and we wish her the best success.

never lets her temper run away with her, despite the
fact that she has very "radiant" hair. She runs for all
the fun, for she will never be sad when there is any fun
around. Her good nature, congenial smile and per-
severance combine to make her one of the most loyal of
the class of '23.
LAURA WEST
Kinston, N. C.
"Unconcerned, but true,
"If she likes you, will stand by you."
Laura is a member of that formidable group who
spends all its energy on "drawing note-books." Her

tunate to follow. A good combination for a primary
teacher, is it not?

"Life is real, life is earnest."
Here is a girl who has never been known to let a "prac-
tice period" slip. Remarkable, isn't it? She has been

the few who has learned not to meddle with other peo-
ple's affairs.
INEZ WHITE

With her persistent determination she is always bound
to win. Inez is known for her smile. It was missed,
however, when she taught seventh grade Geography,
for her motto was, "Work while you work."
MILDRED WHITE
Pollocksville, N. C.
"As busy as a bee."
Here's an unusual girl, but when it comes to lessons

as hard and faithfully in later life as she has done for
us, she will undoubtedly succeed. We wish her great
success in her chosen profession.
ROSE WINSTEAD
Elm City, N. C.
"There is a Rose without a thorn."
Just "Rose" is what we call her, and though not

And those that know thee, know all words are faint."
Irma is small, but judge not by size, for she has shown
that she not only possesses ability as a teacher, but has
proved to be an equally good "Chauffeur," driving to
and from Winterville. Her good disposition is indeed
to be envied. Irma is never too busy to stroll up and
down the campus in hopes of seeing and hearing some-
one called "Cheese." We wish for her the happiest life
when she takes her M.R.S. degree.

Roses
Fat, pink rose buds,
Waving hands of children venturing close
To the shiny green leaves with thorns
With trembling.
Deep petaled roses
Velvety redness as alluring as crimson lips,
Half hiding behind as softly waving fan
And smiling
Pale golden roses
Thoughts of mothers, with patient smiles,
Loving much and self-forgetting for their children,
Loving much.
Pure white roses
Faces of young girls with undimmed eyes,
Looking up and watching for the first star,
Looking up!
-Mabel Montague, 1923.

Classic Hisitory '23
THE Class of '23 wishes to say in its crude attempt to relate just a few of its
most important dates, that the year '23 alone would amount to a "young
encyclopedia/"
On September 23, 1919, there were scattered among the student body 41, who
thought they were supposed to remain within the walls of the building for fear
some "old girl," as they were called, would slam a door on them. This fear
lasted only a few days, when we discovered that the "old girls'" were our only
friend.
After a period of six weeks the small 41 organized themselves properly, and,
under the guidance of Hattie Moore, who was made president for the first year.
made their first appearance before the school by rendering a most interesting
chapel and Y. W. C. A. program.
As the days brought us nearer to June, little did we realize the responsibilities
and hardships that were to be mixed with the joys and glad times of the coming
year.
June 8th - Vacation. - A dream.
The day of September 24, 1920, was like the returning of the Prodigal Son for the
members of the '23 class. Then the class, with the unlucky number of thirteen
added to it, stepped out on highways with the thought that "the0 B Class" could
do anything. That thought was not far from being right, and under the leadership
of Maggie Dixon, '23, succeeded in laying the concrete foundation for her press
onward to the goal.
Only a few months, which seemed days, passed before we looked up and saw
vacation day again - June 6, 1921.
On September 29, 1921, the Class of '23 was more than delighted when the
news was told that 154 was the number of pupils who had registered as members
of '23.
This year being the first year that the class was looked upon as a leading class,
it felt more deeply the responsibility of taking charge of the activities expected of
it that year.
Mary Baggett, proving a successful president and leader for that year, led us
safely over the rough waves of the following dates:
Thanksgiving Day ball game - '22 vs. '23. "We won."
December 16 - Led Y. W. C. A. services.
February 16. - Decision on class rings.
March 18. - Junior-Senior reception.
May 8 - "May Day," under auspices of '23.
May 20. - Last regular class meeting of '23 class while known as "C's."
49
September 27, 1922, at last brings us to the curve of the winding path. The
long wished-for title was then ours - "Dignified Seniors."
We were very much handicapped this year on account of the incompleteness of
the auditorium. The handicap lasted only until March 3rd, when the "State
College Band" rendered a most interesting program on the new stage of the audi-
torium.
March 10. - Led chapel services.
April 25. - Senior play, "Pride and Prejudice." Then comes the end of a per-
fect dream - Commencement-when the happy band of 106 were given the worked-
for prize, and tossed out in the "land of beginnings" again.
Abbice from '23
WE, the Class of '23, feel that it is impossible for us to depart, after having
"learned it all," without leaving a few directions and a bit of advice to
those we leave behind.
To each of the following we give this advice, hoping that day by day in every
way, it will prove beneficial.
Mr. Leggett: We advise, if you desire to continue as the "pet" member of our
faculty, to make your "exams" not longer than a period of fifteen minutes.
Miss Davis: We feel that if your history assignments were shortened the
infirmary would have fewer patients with "histories," at least three times a week.
Miss Reaves: We are sure that your fashion shows will be as successful in the
coming year as in the past year, if you will let the Class of '23 be your "living
models."
Miss McKinney: Always remember that there is no better exercise than a
walk down town - window shopping.
Mr. Meadows: Should you desire real affection, highest regard, and sincere
wishes, we suggest that you work with the coming classes as diligently as you have
worked with us on The Tecoan.
Miss Vaughn: In order to make your English more helpful to the student
body, we urge that you get a hundred copies of Carlyle's essays.
Miss McFadyen: Bear in mind that there is more than one girl in a class that
is handsome.
Miss Wilson: We can assure you that your days will be longer upon this earth
if you continue the use of high neck collars and "do as you please."
Miss Lewis: In order to make Industrial Art the success it has been in the
past, we suggest that you still have everything drawn "to the line."
50
Miss Graham: We feel that you will get better results from your classes if
your supply of "Teachings of Arithmettc," by Klapper, is increased.
Mr. Austin: It almost breaks our hearts to tell you, but if you gave fewer
"C's" and "5's" in the future, you would rank next to Mr. Leggeett as "pet"
teacher.
Miss Muffly: Remember that there will always be a few in your classes that
aren't "well-bred;" we insist that you manage these in your same skillful manner.
Miss Whiteside: When you observe the girls at the Model School next year,
think of the days when you did your first teaching. Have mercy on them!
Miss Maupin: We advise you to continue teaching the Constitution of the
United States, so when you become Supreme Judge you will be familiar with it.
Music Teachers: In order to secure better results from your pupils, we would
say put "Jazzy Methods" in your courses.
Class of '24: The supply of salt is nearly exhausted, and we insist that you
order 2,000 T., and have it in readiness for next year's "Freshies."
Sister Class: Dear Sisters, we advise that you follow most carefully the advice
given the Class of '24 and, in addition to this, study diligently your child psychol-
ogy, so that your practice teaching at the Model School will be easier.
Freshmen: It seems that there is still a coat of greenness that you have failed
to remove, and we suggest that you cast it aside before returning next year.
Sophomores: You have tried to outrank us, but in this you have failed; just
one bit of advice, and that is, stick to the dignity which has distinguished you
from other Sophomore classes.
Juniors: 'Tis hard to give our superiors advice, but we would like to say that
if you do not like to go down the street more than five times a week we feel that
you will find it profitable.
Martha Harrell.

A Jaunt
THERE are a great many people who say emphatically that they do not
believe in fairies and elves, but I shall give you an incident that has caused
me to regard elves and their supernatural powers as indispensable. I was
rambling through the woods one warm spring afternoon, trying to see how many
different birds I could find when, all at once I heard soft footsteps. I turned
quickly, and what should I see but two little green elves? They were having an
altercation as to which could be of greater service to the world. One said he could
reveal the future, while the other said he could restore anything that had been lost.
When they were near enough I asked them to let me be the judge. They did
not seem at all surprised to see me, and were eager for me to settle their dispute.
I asked the first if he could reveal the future of my classmates, with whom I should
soon be no longer. He gave me three small berries. No sooner than I had swal-
lowed them than I fell into a deep trance. Presently I thought I was at Monte
Carlo. I could hardly believe my eyes when I beheld Laura Foley, singing
in her beautiful soprano voice, accompanied by Hilda Duke at the piano,
and Bonita Bruce, violinist. Nor was I any less surprised when Hannah Fulford
touched my arm as she and her husband took their seats directly behind me.
I visited Switzerland while I was in Europe. I saw Roxie Sewell and Mae
Willis Roberts traveling with a St. Bernard dog that had been given them by a
52
native. I then went to England, just before sailing for America. I spent all of
my time there with Lady Hanover, formerly Mildred Beaman. Lillian Britt and
and Cora fowler were also sightseeing, and were guests at the same time. They
had been to Africa visiting Hattie Roswell and Willie Matthews, missionaries
there.
I sailed home on the 'Bonnie Bunch," the ship named for the Captain's wife.
I spent much time with the cook, Eula Wheeler, who had had her hair dyed. When
I was again on American soil, in New York, I sought the Blackmore Hotel. In
the lobby I saw Lucy Gun Uzzell, Ruth Munden, and Mary Ruth Allsbrook, poli-
ticians, discussing Inez White and Maggie Dixon, candidates for President of the
United States. Passing the desk, I saw a very attractive stenographer, who was
none other than Lillian Sugg.
The next day I left for Washington, where I expected to spend some time with
Mabel Montague and Rosalie McEachin, stenographers for Wade Insurance Co.
On the crowded train I was exceedingly fortunate to find a seat by Lillian Jordan.
She told me she was chaperon for the girls of George Washington University.
While I was yet in the city I ran up against the West Twins, who were on their
way to the Art Gallery. They told me they had been visiting Julia Whitly, who
had married a wealthy widower, and had employed Ruth Reid as governess for
her two stupid step-children.
As I was crossing the street I was attracted by a barber's sign, "Bryand and
Grant;" below were the names of two modern manicurists, Mabel Guffy and
Lillian Gray. This caused me to be run over and knocked down by a limousine
driven by an elaborately dressed lady. This proved to be Louise Diggs, who car-
ried me to a nearby hospital. As I was not seriously injured, I remained there
only one day, but long enough to receive the attention of the gracious Dr. Jack-
son and two nurses, Bess Farless and Thelma Edgerton.
A trip to California was included in my travels, which enabled me to see more
of my classmates. I joined Pattie Smith, Pat Walker, Eloise Bridger, Rosa Bras-
well, and Willie Mae Hedgepeth, members of the Pope and Cheek Touring Party
in Chicago. Before we left the city the Bradley and Peele Bargain Store gave us
a luncheon in their bakery department. Among the waiters, I was surprised to
see Nellie Burbage and Clarice Fletcher. We were permitted to go over every
department. I could not help but feel I was dreaming when I recognized Ruth
Britton purchasing lace from Geneva Exum. The milliners were Elma Barnes
53
and Annie Ola Hollowell. They had just finished their course under Mary
Vaughan. We also called on Elizabeth Hummell, who was giving dancing lessons,
and Mary Joe Stewart, her valued assistant.
When we reached California I was delighted to find a letter from Annie Lola
Arnold, who was a missionary in Japan, asking me to look up Irma Harrison and
Mildred Lyon, who were taking a course at the University of California. Eula
Page was our guide when we were visiting the Salt Lake and Yellowstone National
Park. There we were overjoyed at the privilege of seeing Virginia Harper, Clara
Grissom, Cora Holland, and Martha Harrell, chief characters in a play given by
Morgan & Co. Irma Worrell, Rose Winston, and Grace Dixon, chorus girls, told
us the play had been written by Nannie Lindsay Stokes. As our touring party
was passing through Wyoming, we saw Zula Bell and the O'Neal sisters, who
were teaching in one of the country schools.
The members of our party separated at Nashville. I visited the Governor's
wife, whom I knew to be Mary Hendren. I was asked to remain for the reception
she was giving that night in honor of Hilda Jeannette and Mira Bridgeman. recent
brides. Nannie Bray and Lucy Pearl Carrington were also present. They were
kindergarten supervisors of the city.
My next trip was made by aeroplane. Sailing over Virginia I witnessed a train
wreck. The aviator landed nearby and we hastened to the scene. You can
imagine my horror when I saw Nina and Noma Rogers unconscious, their hand-
some suits torn and dusty; Mabel Wooten, with a sprained wrist, and Mildred
Brodie, who had lost all her teeth. My anxieties soon subsided when Drs. Vann
and Forbes and the nurses, Kathryn Brown, Lillian Jones and Matilda Mayo, were
given full charge. The next morning I purchased a newspaper edited by Elsie
Vaughan. Among the names of those who escaped injury in the wreck were:
Hazel Kennedy, Vera Miller, and Vivian Rice, who were on their way to the
Legislature. I also saw where Clara Dowdy and Ora Evans had secured their
much-desired positions as Y. W. C. A. secretaries. Glancing over the society page
I saw the announcement of the engagements of Helen Brown and Margaret Hol-
land. I wondered if business was thriving, when I saw the advertisement of
"Inman and Eure," cotton buyers.
Visiting the western part of the State of North Carolina, I heard of the busy
social service workers, Marjorie Waite and Mary Baggette. They had found
warm places in the hearts of all tlie mountaineers, and especially among the school
54
teachers, some of whom were Hazel Nichols, Mildred White, Helen Wells, and
Annie Lancaster. When they told me Eula Russell was in the Insane Hospital I
held my breath and felt myself dropping down and down, and could barely hear
their last words, "She is matron there."
Just then I awoke, and the second elf asked me if I had lost anything. When I
told him my Science note book was lost, he said, " You will find it in your drawing-
bag." Which elf was more valuable to me?
Alice W. Penny.

E. C. T. C, we all love you;
We'll cherish your name forever.
We'll praise and we'll boost you along
With the will of a mighty endeavor.
CURIOUS did we come to thee
To learn of your noble aim.
Anxious and eager to help you
Keep your ever-increasing fame.
TO you we can never repay-
The debt grows greater each day.
The aid that you gave us so freely
To help us along life's way.
CONNSISTENT you've taughl us to be
In all work that we undertake.
Have patience and persistence, too,
Would we the best counsellors make.

Seniors
"SERVICE" we have learned from you
Is the surest road to success.
You've shown us that service alone
Can bring us the true happiness.
EAGER for our best welfare
In everything that you do.
You've proved a faithful friend
For which we each thank you.
NOW, as our ship swings out
On a sea of trouble and doubt,
On a sea that has billows of unrest,
And waves that seethe and rout.
IN a spirit of love and kindness
May you, as you've always done.
Place your strong hand in ours
And say, "Your fight shall be won!
"ONLY have true faith, my daughter;
Have faith in your fellow-man.
Be patient with him in his blindness,
And help him to understand.
"REMEMBER, that once you were blind-
We gave the vision to you."
'Tis true, dear home of learning.
We caught the vision from you.
SO here's to our Alma Mater,
Whose deeds we'll ever relate.
The greatest college that e'er will be
Within this "Grand Old State."

Oh Yes-The Freshmen
"SAY, come on, nobody'll hurt you! Wait your time, and maybe you'll know:
everybody and everything. How 'bout meditating over such sayings as
'Fortune comes to those who wait.' You have? Well, what did you find?"
"A bunch of live, wide-awake, active girls, who had decided to venture out in
life; not on the would-be path of least resistance, but to dip into a college degree!"
"They lived through? Well, good! And now everybody walks 'round and
says, 'What a fine bunch The Freshmen are, 'cause they've got pep and vim, and
always drive the blues away!"
"Surely if they hadn't, somebody, ere this, would have turned from green to
blue. But it's not that way with The Freshmen, 'cause they absolutely, posi-
tively, go howling everywhere:
'Little of Psychology, nourished with chocolate pies,
Will soon be making The Freshmen
Typically Sophomore - wise!'"
"That made me think. They surely attack the food with the same determina-
tion. Beef hash and fish roe! Well, it doesn't last long 'round The Freshman."
"And say, did you hear the latest rumor? You didn't, eh? Well, they've
actually learned to venture nearer Fifth Street, and-. Is there more? Just
ask-."
"The Freshmen."

Y. W. C. A. Activities
THE year 1922-'23 has been very successfull for the Young Women's Christian
Association. There has been a full program of social and religious meetings
during the entire time. Morning watch services were begun last fall, and
have been held each morning, except Sunday mornings. These services have
proved a success, and it is thought that much good and joy have been attained
through them. A series of four evangelical services have recently been held.
Many of the girls were very desirous of these services and, as a result, nine girls
signified their resolve to lead a Christian life.
During the fall and winter terms mission study classes and Bible study classes
were conducted. The members of the faculty had charge of or taught all these
classes. We are assured that these classes were worth while by the beautiful mis-
sion pageant given by the classes of Misses Sharpe and Hallie Scoville.
One of the most interesting enterprises of the year, to the girls, is the securing
of a temporary place for a Y. W. C. A. store. This idea had been in view for some
time but, on account of the lack of room, it had been put off quite awhile. At
present the store is in a room in East Dormitory; but as soon as the work on the
Administration Building is finished it will be moved over there. The profit re-
ceived from the store will go to the Blue Ridge fund and the hut fund. Another
means of raising the Blue Ridge fund is the May Day fete. These exercises are
under the direction of the Y. W. C. A., the girls of the two-year normal classes
taking the lead. They are held out on the campus, beginning in the afternoon and
lasting through the evening. Refreshments, candies, fruits, etc., are sold. Usually
enough money is made to send five girls to Blue Ridge.
The members of the Association, as well as the College, are looking forward to
having a new Y. W. C. A. hall. Within the next two years a campus building is
going to be erected. This building will serve as a home for all social and religious
activities of the College. This building will also contain an auditorium, in which
fifteen hundred people may be seated. The Young Women's Christian Association
is planning to equip its hall in this building. The fund necessary for this equip-
ment has already been started. The chairs in the old Y. W. C. A. hall have been
sold to the College, and the money received for these placed in a savings bank,
where it will stay until the new building is erected.
92
Blue Ridge
FROM the time the College opens in the fall, you can hear the Y. W. C. A.
Cabinet members talking about Blue Ridge, and in a few weeks or months
many of the new girls are filled with wonderful desires to go as a delegate
next June. It is a rare privilege to witness the beauties of the Old North State, to
be awakened by the bugle in order to see the sun rising, and casting its purplish rays
over every mountain top and into every valley. It is a wonderful opportunity for
one to come in contact with more of Mother Nature's handiwork. The views that
one gets while winding around those mountain tops, climbing the steep trails to see
the sun rise, are never to be forgotten. Drinking from those mountain springs
and streams, always overflowing with ice cold water, visiting places such as Chim-
ney Rock or Grove Park Inn, and catching the real "Blue Ridge spirit," are
priceless gifts to anyone, especially to the girl who has never before seen the moun-
tains.
When the nine of us left there last June, each one had a feeling of sorrow at
leaving so soon the spot among the hills that we had all learned to love. Although
we hated to leave, each one of us considered the real good and information that we
had received while there, and left with a desire to see how much we could carry
back to our College. Even though a number of weeks were to pass before this
could be done, the "Blue Ridge spirit" still remained with us, and during the
summer, each delegate was making her plans for the next year, and held to her
enthusiasm, and also to the new ideas gained, and has tried to put the latter into
practice on our own campus and in our own Y. W. C. A.
T. Jackson.

When we look at the figures 1-9-2-3,
What is the thought that comes to you and me?
Ah, now we have it, it's basketball.
The player in the center is long and tall.
'Tis true the right forward is a little low,
But when she gets the ball she makes it go.
Inman and Rogers are splendid dodgers.
Not everyone can play that trick,
But these two girls may be compared to "Tanglefoot"-
"They Stick.' '
Our side center player cannot be beat,
She can tussle the ball from under your feet;
She's a star on the court, in athletics a sport.
It's "hobby" we cheer, don't you?
"Kennedy"
She's played four years in basketball,
Well, we all admit,
But greater to say than that
She seldom makes a mis-hit.
Sometimes she falls and sometimes she rolls,
She "rolls" up the score by throwing the goals.

Tale of an Alumnus
S-h-h-h! Don't make so much noise. Come on now to the third story of the
Administration Building. Here we are. But how in the world shall we keep
folks from hearing us? Don't ask me anything about a light. Didn't I tell you
I'd let you get a candle after all of us "settle down?" My! I don't know how
I'm going to tell you all the things that are fussing around in my head. I just
might as well not try. Teachers College Alumnae are just like all other college
graduates the world over, anyway. But if you will make me - Oh, where is my
encyclopedia, and those notes? I have no idea, not the slightest. Let me think.
I can't recall. I'll just have to remember what I can.
A fundamental principle of our graduates is that composite virtue we call Loy-
alty - a virtue that implies love, honor, allegiance and faithfulness, fealty, duty.
The graduate of loyalty keeps faith with others, and with her own self, recogniz-
ing what is right and due, and daring to be faithful to that ideal, both in word and
in action. She scorns disloyalty in all its forms. She is punctilious in living up
to her ideals, prompt and direct in discharge of her duty. A high conception of
her trust makes her do more than public opinion expects of her. More and more
allegiance is being put into practice. We are coming to see that our school can-
not have a healthy growth without this. We should feel that our Alma Mater's
existence depends upon us, and that we have a sacred trust to be guarded jeal-
ously. We are beginning to feel that way about it.
Oh, not yet; you see everyone must work out her own problems. There are two
classes of graduates now; those who have always been faithful, and those who may
become faithful. Many of us have already become so interwoven with social and
industrial life that we need some kind of stimulus to make us feel that we are
indispensable to our Alumnae organizations. Everyone who withdraws from the
ranks weakens us just that much. Pardon my cough. I seem to have got
chilly up here and it has upset my throat.
The Alumnae Association of East Carolina Teachers College must have been
organized with a two-fold purpose; upholding the ideals of president, faculty,
and board of trustees, and extending the influence of the College by selling it to
the people of the State. We have always depended upon the enthusiasm of the
classes for membership.
115
I don't know that we've done anything wonderful, exactly, but - yes, I suppose
you are right. The Association is just feeling its way along, and it is not easy to
say just what is most important to be done. One day of Commencement week has
been set apart as "Alumnae Day." In the morning there is a business meeting of
the general association, given over to reports of committees, election of officers,
and purely routine affairs, followed by a luncheon in the Dining Hall given by the
College in compliment to the Alumnae. This is followed by a concert by some
artist of note. Headquarters have been provided in "Alumnae Hall" for all grad-
uates returning for Commencement. Every class has been entertained gratis the
first year after "finishing."
Yes. It was. Of course there were a few who could not come back. Our
problems? Yes, those problems of today which must be settled by our entire
group, a fundamental unit jLn the organization of North Carolina society, especially.
We really ought to do more advertising. People should know who it is trying to
be of help to so great a multitujde of children. It is a responsibility, but then you
get more out of it than you can possibly put into it . I just asked myself a num-
ber of questions that I knew I would have to face sooner or later, such as: What
shall I do to extend the service of my Alma Mater? How many commencements
have I attended since I left school? Why did I miss the others? What efforts
have I made to get girls to visit the annual gatherings? Do I read the Quarterly?
Have I done all I could? That sounds fairly reasonable. Not all the other
educational clubs and organizations in the State can mean so much as contact
with a live-wire organization. It prepares you to meet discouragements and
nerve strain; transforms hardships into pleasures.
To truly loyal Alumnae Teachers College comes first, and we generally think
of her as superior to all other schools. I read something the other day about
a Pitt County Association, away off yonder somewhere, that is making progress.
The Pitt Chapter was organized in the fall of 1920. They get up the program for
"Alumnae Night," serve as a unit on the Finance Committee of the entire Alumnae
Association. Miss Dicie Howell, an artist from New York, gave a program in
1921. Last year Miss Helen Yorke appeared in concert, and we are glad to an-
nounce that she will be here again this year on the night of June 4th. There have
been four chairmen: Mrs. Leland Stancill (Luella Lancaster); Mrs. Carey War-
ren (Marjorie Davis), '12; Miss Nonie Johnson, '19-'23, and Mrs. A. S. Brnum
(Emma Cobb), '13. Lois Haskins, '23, is Secretary. Their present membership
includes: Estelle Green, '12; Flora Barnes, '18; Mrs. K. B. Pace (Lida Taylor),
116
'16; Mamie Hayes, '22: Mrs. Clifton Edwards (Mary Lee Gallup), '19; Bruce
Exum, '21; Mildred Maupin, '20; Lalla Pritchard, '13; Mary Outland. '19;
Arley Moore, '18; Mary Whitehurst, '19; Annie Howard Felton, '22; Nonie
Johnson, '20; Mrs. Carey Warren (Margie Davis), '12; Mrs. A. J. Moore (Nell
Pender), '11; Mrs. L. P. Thomas (Bettie Spencer), '15; Mabel Thomas, '21;
Leah Cooke, '22.
Probably you saw in the March issue of the Digest an account of what the Wake
County branch of East Carolina Teachers College Alumnae is doing. That Chap-
ter was organized on September 12, 1920. Charter members were: Ruby Garris,
'20; Mrs. R. H. McLawhon (Janie Tyson), '20; Mrs. Karl Chadwick (Blanche
Alligood), '19; Louise Smaw, '16; Annie Smaw, '15; Lela Carr Newman, '15;
and Pattie S. Dowell, '11. The College faculty has always been honorary mem-
bers. The regular business meetings are always followed by a social hour. Books
and current literature are circulated. They have tried to locate all former students
and keep in touch with their interests; arranged for the Thanksgiving get-to-
gether dinners, and talked Teachers College. Their 1922-1923 roll reads: Lela
Carr Newman, '15; Mrs. J. C. Holland, '19; Ruby Garris, '20; Laura Newton
'19; Mrs. Ben Tongue, '14; Mrs. B. M. Lackey (Janet Matthews), '16; Louise
Smaw, '16; Bettie Pearl Fleming, '13; Camilla Pittard, '21; Blanche Lancaster,
'14; Cora Lancaster, '18; Fannie Jackson, '20; Alice Whitehurst, '20; Louise
Stalvey, '16; Bonnie Howard, '19; Alice Best, '21; Mrs. K. G. Hite (Hattie
Taylor), '13; Blanche Atwater, '18; Mrs. J. C. Gregory (Helen Stewart), '20;
Pattie S. Dowell, '11, and three associate members, Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Under-
wood and Meta Godwin.
We must get back to our rooms before dayliglit! No, that would never do.
Why, 'tis - Oh, mercy me! Anyway don't forget that our Alumnae Association
is the greatest thing in the world! We must have great faith, overcome every
obstacle, and accomplish things.
Girls! Girls! I've missed my - Oh-h-h! I'm so-. Wake up, you all. While
you were up here dreaming twelve years have stolen away.
-P. S. D., '11.

J. G. LAUTARES'
Candy Palace
THE EVERY-DAY DESSERT
Our Pure Ice Cream and Home Made Candy are more than a dessert. Its food
value exceeds that of most table foods. A dish of our Ice Cream has the same
food value as a pound of steak or four pounds of potatoes. We leave it to any
member of the household to say which is the most appetizing. Lautares' Ice
Cream has passed by the State Food Inspection at Raleigh, and has proved to
be a pure cream and a rich cream.
Our Ice Cream plant has been installed by the Southern Construction and Sup-
ply Co., Atlanta, Ga., and is the best and most up-to-date in the State.
