Dr. H. i. McGinnis
Writes Letter
At the regular meeting of the In-
to national Relations Club on April
24. V. 46, Dr. Edsall spoke on "Treaty
Making in the United States "Un-
B peace can he organized he said,
"tlie present catastrophe will repeat
itself He brought out some of the
dangerous obstacles in our present
treaty making process and mentioned
ways of avoiding them . One of the
obstacles named was the power of
the president to make treaties with
two-thirds vote of he Senate. Al-
though many major treaties such as
the Guadaloupe Hidalgo were passed
only by a few votes, others of equal
importance were defeated by a small
minority. He went on to say that the
Senate's power to delay has proven
to be the power to kill, and the exis-
tence of a minority veto cripples for-
eign relations.
MISS ANNIE I MORTON
Miss Morton Writes
Letter To Alumni
One of the possible solutions men
tioned by Dr. Edsall was a constitu
tional admendment to the effect that
treaties be made with consent of both
j houses of congress, however, there
, v is little probability of this occurring.

Dear Alumni-
At this season our thoughts turn
to Commencement and you. A-ain,
it is my privilege to remind you that
we are hoping to have you with us
this year.
As always at commencement time,
the campus is yours. However, we are
having to make very definite plans
to assure your happiness and com-
fort while you are with us. Rooms
in the dormitories will be available
for those who notify us by Tuesday,

1,000 Members
Alumni Goal
For 1945-46
Ballots reveal that the Alumni
have voted, by an overwhelming ma-
jority, to raise the dues for member-
ship in the Alumni Association from
one dollar to two dollars per year.
At the recommendation of tin
Executive Board, which met or
August 2:5, 1944, ballots were mallei
each of the 488 paid members and
votes were cast by the "active" mem-
ben raising the dues.
The dues are now more nearly on
the same level with other institu-
tions of similar ranking and it is
hoped that this raise will eliminate
the necessity of asking for an annual
gift from the Chapters and will en-
able the Association to do more con-
Istructive work in the future than in
the past.
The goal for 1945-M6 is 1000 mem-
bers. May the Association count on
you!

The nature of welfare work is close-
ly tied up with this ideal, the
speaker said, in that during the last
depression the physical sustenance ef
many was maintained, self-respect
was restored, and freedom (hoerty)
was impossible without freedom from
want. The last part�happiness�
though intangible itself, may be
sought by all, which is what Mr.
Ponder said he believed Jefferson
n leant.

mentary meal tickets will be given

These tickets are thirty-five cents

27 Alumni How
Work At ECTC
The College is trying to use its
former students whenever and where-
ever possible. Today there are
twenty-seven alumni employed on the
campus.
Th primary purpose of the College
is to train students to teach in the
schools of North Carolina; however,
you will notice the varied positions
which alumni are holding here on
the campus as in other parts of the
State. They are as follows:
Ogburn, Mary Windley, Illma Kear-
ney, Margaret Person and Charlotte
Elliott. They were dressed in iden-
tical dresses of blue and pink. They
carried large bouquets of mixed
flowers.
- The Queen with her Maid of Honor
and attendants was entertained by a
minuet, a Yarsoviene, Negro Dance, a
,Valtz-Quardrille and was concluded
by the traditional May Pole dance.
The May Lob was decorated with
blue and pink streamers which made
a colorful plaid when woven arouna

Miss Ruth Modlin, president of the
Greenville Chapter 194445, and fifth
grade critic teacher at the Training
School, was elected treasurer. She
succeeds Miss Grace Smith.
Miss Smith has been interested in
the Alumni Association since 1914
when she graduated. She has been a
capable and efficient treasurer for
the past six years. She has also
served as secretary of the Association
and has functioned on several im-
portant committees.
The other candidates for the of-
fices were Mrs. Robert W. Fennell
(Kara Lynn Corey) for president;
Mrs. Hariss W. Haskett (Margaret
Patrick) for vice-president and Mrs.
Thornton Meeks (Ruth Willard) for
treasurer.

Defeat Of Germany
Does Not End War
The real test for our patriotism has just
begun. Too many of us thought when Hitler
and his gang were crushed, we could return
to our happy-go-lucky American way of liv-
ing. We could buy those electric refrigera-
tors we've been wanting. Why. we could
even ease up on buying war bonds�the
U. S. A. has enough money to finish off
Japan any way. Of course one Superfort-
ress cost just
Now we can take that nice vacation that
has been our dream for so long. For be it
from me to disilluion anyone, but it takes
more than a few weeks for reconversion to
take place, and complete reconversion will
not be realized until the Nips are smashed
to their knees.
The government is asking us not to
travel on the railways because they will be
crowded in the months to come with war
supplies to the west coast and from there
they will go to all points in the Pacific. Cer-
tainly no one of us wishes to delay the ar-
rival of one bit of blood plasma that might
be the means of saving one soldier, sailor or
Marine, or one bit of ammunition that will
strike down a Jap. Our traveling can do
just that. So it is our undemanding patrio-
tic duty to postpone the vacation until com-
plete victory is ours, if our vacation neces-
sitates travel by tram. It has been estimated
that if the war were to end by July, it would
take a year and ahalf to transport our boys
back home. That gives us an idea of the
enormous transportation facilities needed for
the kind of wa r we are giving the Nippo-
nese. If we can't fire at the Japs with a
gun, we can assure the arrival of the gun
to some one who can fire it by not riding the
trains!
To The Alumni
From The Editors
Dear Alumni:
This issue of our paper is "your" paper.
We have given space to be used for your
news.
In this issue we hope you will find out
what has happened to your fellow class-
mates. As the years have gone by, many, of
you have lost contact with friends. We hope
that this issue of the paper will bring news
of them.
Because of lack of space we have had to
give full accounts of only three classes�the
'20, '35, and '44 classes. However, this dots
not mean that we have forgotten other
classes. If you were not in one of these.
then next year your class may be honored.
Many of you receive the paper regular-
ly, and still for those that do not, we will
say we never forget our Alumni. Each
issue there is a column devoted to Alumni
Reports, also since the war started we have
had a column about our boya in service.
The staff joins us in saying that we
hope you will be here for Alumni Day on
June 2.
Very truly yours,
Jean Gog gin and Mary Young Bass.

Work To Avoid That
Last Minute Rush
There are only two more weeks in this
quarter. Many of us have put off what we
should have done the first of the quarter,
saying that we would do it later. Now the
quarter is almost over and we still haven't
done the work. This not only causes us to
be rushed at the end but also the teachers.
Remember they not only have to make out
exams, and grade them, but they have to
average up our grades. If they have term
papers to grade that should have been handed
in the first of the quarter, they will certain-
ly have twice as much work to do.
Lets see if the next week we can't
finish our outside work so that we will have
to worry only about our exams.
Student Help Needed For
Seventh War Lean Drive
On May 14. the Seventh War Loan
Drive began. It is up to the people to buy
all of the bonds that they possibly can be-
cause the more bonds we buy the sooner our
boys will come home. Yes, the war is over
with Germany, but there is still a lot to be
done in the Pacific. In order to do this, we
have got to back the boys 100 per cent by
buying war bonds and stamps.
There are only going to be two war loan
drives during 1945. Therefore, we should
try to buy at least the same number that we
have been buying before.
It is the duty of each and every one of
US to, invest more generously in war bonds
to supply the needed materials in the Pacific,
which will in turn bring victory and lessen
the number of lives lost.
Poppy Day To Be
Observed At ECTC
Saturday, May 2f. has been declared
"Poppy Day The poppies to be sold are
made by veterans of World War I and the
proceeds will go to the Veteran's Hospital.
When Robert St. John was here he
made the statement that everyone should
visil a veteran's hospital at least once a year.
Since most of us haven't the privilege of
visiting these hospitals, it is our duty to do
all that we can to aid the men who made
personal sacrifices for a cause that seemed
to be in vain. Lets every one be seen wear-
ing a poppy Saturday, May 26.
Success Is For Those Who
Are Hard To Satisfy
Of some people it is said that they spend
their time "reaching for the moon They
are always striving for the things that are
way beyond them; maybe it is happiness,
maybe comfort, maybe friends, and maybe
the fulfillment of an ambition. All these
things are worth working for. It is the per-
son who is dissatisfied with his status in
life and who yearns to learn more and go
forward who becomes a success. Success is
not marked by the amount of money a man
has nor by his social position. Success lies
within a man; it is the feeling of knowing
you're doing your best to obtain the things
you consider worthwhile in life.
Thus, a person who spends his life
struggling toward a goal and never reaching
it. is still much better for having tried. The
person who is content to quit as soon as he
becomes reasonably comfortable is the one
who will remain mediocre.
Have a lofty goal to push toward. As
soon as you reach that one, set another for
yourself. Don't be content to be just "aver-
age"�be outstanding. All it takes is a little
effort and determination. Reach for the
moon, and, if you don't quite make it, you're
sure to get a handful of stars.
Alumni on the Stand
By Bobbie Parrish
Since this is an Alumni Issue, a few
representative alumni have kindly consented
to take the stand.
QUESTION: What, on looking back on
your college days, stands out as the high-
light, or moat vivid experience?
Miss Mary L. Lowder (Class of '26) :
Many pleasant memories rush to my mind
whenever I think of my "School Days at
ECTC Without having to consider, how-
ever, the top experience that springs to my
mind and heart is the vesper services, e-
specially the ones held on the lawn from the
porch of Wilson Hall. Remembering the
spirit and fellowship of these experiences
still warms my heart.
Next, the summer school course in
Shakespeare, while the college was yet small
enough to know and enjoy in a friendly way
one's classmates and teachers.
Miss Joyce Dunham: My happiest and
most cherished moments were those spent
in Miss Austin's conversational French, and
French poetry (in fact, all my contacts with
her were pleasant ones) ; also, working with
the Junior and Senior classes as their Presi-
dent, and attending the many entertainments
that ECTC always affords her students. To
make the story complete, there is the matter
of "Intermezzo the listening room, and
picking violets on back campus.
Mr. Bernice Jenkins: Remembering
ECTC, it seems everything I did there was
a highlight. Walking on the campus, study-
ing tor various tests, classes in history un-
der Dr. Hilldrup. English with Dr. POsey,
end Dr. Baughan, psychology under Dr.
Adams and those courses under Mr. Deal:
talkfests with Miss .Jenkins, visits in the
Y-Stoiv. playing hearts in Ragsdale, talks
with Dr. Flanagan�all those things I re-
member with pleasure. But it' hard to
beat the bull sessions held in the Teco Echo
staff room (is it still a mess?) How we
talked on every imaginable subjects, and
wrote athletic articles from working with
Coach Christenbury and Mr. Hankner.
Miss Deanie B. Haskett: The work
done in organizing the Teco Echo stands out
in my memories. (She was its first editor-
in-chief . . . ami also the first student to
take her master's degree from ECTC).
Many, hours were spent in the staff room
writing news, editorials, mapping the paper.
correcting proofs, and getting it running
smoothly.
Mrs. Annie Andrews Sellers: (Now a
faculty member). Many little things which
I recall with a warm glow are fused to-
gether in my memory of a really happy
time. Some of these pleasures are: On the
two days (Monday and Fridays) when we
could go down town.�provided you had on
hat and hose!�and sit in "Lautarea as do
Kares' or Bissette's; stealing radishes and
other edibles from the gardens on faculty
low (especially Dr. Adam's) ; the few shows
we were allowed to See, in groups, but with-
out permission to sit beside any men: initia-
tion were always big doings, sometimes
we'd walk the poor freshmen nearly to death
on hikes: the dancing (among girls, of
course) held from:30 p.m. to 7:30 in the
gym, which is now the day students' room;
talking to Mr. Holmes and listening to his
stories over at the power plant; the grand
participation in all the sports; waiting
breathlessly tor some entertainment to come
so we could put on evening dresses; riding
tin- old elevators in Austin; and gathering
(before lights out at 1 ) to tell ghost
stories. These are just a few things, but
although they were simple and harmless, we
thought it was all pretty wonderful.
Mr. Herbert Waldropi It has never
ceased to amaze me that in one 50 minute
class period, Miss Davis could somehow
manage to ask at least two questions to every
single student�and usually just as he was
easing off to sleep. Morever, I never un-
derstood why boys back there were made to
take domestic science and weave pretty bas-
kets, etc.�or why we weren't allowed to
watch the gals play basketball, especially
when they wore huge woolen bloomers, middy
blouses, and stockings! . . . but we weren't.
So, my most vivid remembrances are the
things I could never understand, and if any-
one has the answers. 1 would still like to
hear them.
Mrs. F. Edgerton Baker I'll never
forget the time Dr. Adams asked a hetero-
geneous group to take an intelligence test.
A few days later, two of my dear "friends"
offered to go ask Dr. Adams what our scores
were. When they returned they said Dr.
Adams was so surprised at my grade�that
1 must have been sick with a cold that day.
My grade was 79, and 80 was a moron. Of
course, their grades were very good. Well,
for 1 he next few hours, 1 went through pur-
gatory. I didn't hear a word Dr. Slay was
saying in physics. I thought of the money
my parents were wasting, how people
reached an intelligence level, and just
couldn't go any further, how I had fooled my
classmates, how hard physics was for me,
etc. My friends who kept smiling at me
had pity in their faces for me in my time of
woe . . . Finally, after an hour of sheer
misery I raced to see Dr. Adams. He greeted
me with "I haven't had time to grade those
tests yet I could have kissed him and on
two certain others committed murder. If
Dr. Adams remembered rate at all, he'd prob-
ably say "How is the moron today?" For
he called me that for weeks.
Also, I'll never forget how hard we
worked on the dining hall for the JrSr. Ban-
quet to decorate it like a sleek yacht. It
was so beautiful it thrilled us to look at it
that night we didn't even know we were tired
it was all so grand.
Of course, I recall with sorrow, also, the
death of that beloved President and man,
Dr. Wright.

1920 Class President
Writes Letter
Pear Class Mates.
It is with a certain amount of re-
gret that I look forward to June 2nd.
due to the fact that I will be unable
to meet you at our dear Alma Mata.
Just think, it has been twenty-five
years since the day we left to go out
into the world as individuals. Some
has passed on, some became famous
in different respects. Many are
mothers�Oh, I do wish that I might
be there to hear each and everyone
tell about what has happened and
yes, to see what charm, time has be-
stowed upon each because we are
our prime of life and at an age
exhibit and offer to the wo
best.
At the time I left you. I had
dreams of all you and other young
girls marrying�I did! It has been
quite a happy life; I taught ten
years of this time. I also have three
children. My husband, who is a farm-
er, and children are all living. At
this particular time. I am (icing my
bit by teaching�I started last year.
Have two grades in the Oriental High
School at Oriental, N. C. I am driv-
ing a school bus, keeping house, and
helping take care of 1000 turkeys.
Don't say I am not doing any teach-
ing because I am. You know the
ECTTS did not turn out any poor
teachers in the '20 class.
Classmates, please think of me
when you meet; I would be right
there if I did not have such a noble
son (aren't your children noble?)
graduating at the same time from
Porter Military Academy in Charles-
ton, S. C. I cannot be in both places
and I am quite sure you can under-
stand.
Please write me a letter, card, or
something telling me all about what
you did. Can't some of you ever come
to see me? Oh, I would love to have
you; my husband would too. We
live on the highway to Oriental.
N. C, at a little place called Merritt
�it has two or three homes, etc. You
would be so welcome�ye, we would
have fried chicken, ham, vegetables,
and all the things (and the only
things) of nature with which God has
so blessed the country.
I hope your sons return safely
home; I am praying for them. I
haven't any in service but I never
forget yours.
