, s boxwood plants have now been placed in the foyer of the redecorated
ert II. Wright Building.
The 163 boys at E.C.T.C. this
term make up 15.09 per cent of the
entire enrollment. There have been
202 boys enrolled here this year.
Henry Oglesby was the first man to
receive a degree and the only one in
1932. Since then 66 others have fol-
lower suit. Last year's graduates
numbered 23, slightly over 30 per
cent of the class, and about a third of
all men graduates.
At least two-thirds of the alumni
have remained in teaching. Included
among these are six principals. Four
have already received their M.A.
degrees at Peabody, and two others
are working toward theirs at the
same institution. Another foursome
is now doing graduate work at
E.C.T.C. Four more are studying
professions, two in medicine, one in
law, and one in dentistry.
Men students play an important
part in the various organizations of
the college, having their own student
government, an honorary education-
al fraternity, a Y.M.C.A and five
intercollegiate athletic teams. They
also participate with the girls in all
the campus clubs and societies. Men
are likewise eligible for class office
and can point with pride to two of
their number who are now class pres-
idents.
It is a matter of record that the
second and third organizations on
the campus, the "Jarvis Debating
Society" and a baseball club, were
started b boys, in the very first year
of the school, when only 19 boys were
in the stndent body. ,
Athletics have as mnch or more to
do with publicizing a college than
any other item, and it is around men's
sports that the main interest is cen-
tered. The first modern-day E.C.T.C.
athletic team was a basketball team

event tomorrow night when Rudy
Walters and his orchestra provide
music for dancing feet at the annual
Freshman-Junior.
Vari-colored streamers attached
to a May pole on the stage and to the
balcony will provide a ceiling for
the dance floor. The bright colors and
the May pole, itself, are symbolic
of the gay and festive spirit which is
anticipated by the sister classes.
During intermission a figure will
be led by Vernon Keutemeyer, pres-
ident of the Freshman Class, and
Clifton Britton, president of the
Junior Class. Also participating in
this event will be the other officers
of the Junior and Freshman classes,
the presidents of the other classes
and of the campus organizations, and
the members of the committees.
Heading committees for the dance
are: James Whitfield, chairman of
the music committee; Sara Gorham,
chairman of the refreshment com-
mittee ; Harriet Marshburn, head of
the invitation committee; and Kath-
leen Lewis, chairman of the decora-
tion committee.
Back to East Carolina Teachers
College and all its friendly associa-
tions will come the classes of 1929,
the four year and the two year, as
special guests of the college. The
work of these classes during the past
ten years has been outstanding. The
president of the A.B. class, Libyan
Colson, has done very outstanding
work and for the past two years has
been teaching in the Mississippi Del-
ta State Teachers College in Cleve-
land, Mississippi.
Thirty-eight members of the A.B.
Class are now married. Others have
been successful teachers in this and
other states. To be recognized in this
capacity along with others, is Wita
Bond, who has served in the Rocky
Mount City School system for a num-
ber of years. Rebecca Alexander has
been in Lucama for the past few
years. Aurora has Elizabeth Allen
as a member of its faculty. Annie
Estelle Green has been teaching in
Greenville. Sara Byrd Ogletree has
done some fine work in Bethel. For
a number of years Carrie Taylor
Smith has been in Roanoke Rapids.
Emily Smithwick. who is a member
of the Executive Board of the Alum-
nae Association, has been a member
of the Edenton School faculty for a
number of years. Clyde Stokes and
Vallis Summerel have been teaching
in Ayden. These are a few of the
many who have gone out and been
successful in the profession for which
they were trained during their col-
lege days on this campus.

for their twenty-
fifth reunion.
One of the distinctions that this
class has is that one of their number
is the state president of the Alum-
nae Association of the college. This
is Mrs. L. L. Stancill (Luella Lan-
caster), who was president of the
Lanier Society during her Senior

Carl Sandburg, noted poet and lee-

Alumnae Chapters Report Successful Year;
Organizations Show Increase In Membership
The E.C.T.C. Alumnae Chapters
have reported a very successful year.
Through these chapters there has
been a constant growth and unity
among the alumnae of this college.
One graduate from here made this
remark, "By meeting regularly each
month we have kept in closer con-
tact with the alumnae here and with
the college. We have felt a real need
for more enthusiasm and college spir-
it among us. We believe that our
alumnae secretary is doing much to-
ward unifying our association, and
we hope that our chapter will be able
to do more next year toward making
possible an all-time secretary
The Roanoke Rapids Chapter has
held meetings each month, which
have been chiefly social Four or five
members were nostesses to the chap-
I ter at each meeting. During the year
they sponsored a bowling tournament
to raise money for the Alumnae As-
sociation. In the April meeting the
Alnmnae Secretary, Miss Copeland,
gave a report of the alumnae activi-
ties of the year and Miss Ruth White
talked about the improvements that
are in progress on the campus. This
year this chapter has enrolled thirty-
five members with Miss Martha
Whitehurst serving as president,
Miss Katherine Reid as secretary,
and Miss Julia Farrior as reporter.
The Winterville Chapter of the
E.C.T.C. Alumnae Association was
organized in March, 1938, with
twenty-five members. At the end of
the first year this number had in-
creased to thirty-three. In February
the chapter served dinner to the
Pitt County doctors. The gronp has
elected officers for next year as fol-
lows President, Mrs. Linwood
Worthington; Vice President, Mary
Louise Taylor; Secretary, Miss
Blanche White; Treasurer, Mrs.
Wardell Worthington.
The Kocky Mount Chapter has
had as its officers for this-year Mrs.
R. M. Taylor as President, Miss
Wita Bond as Vice President, Mrs.
F. R. Elmore, Secretary and Treas-
urer. The efforts of this chapter have
been very successful. During the year
they had as their guests in their meet-
ings Dr. L. R. Meadows, Miss Eliza-
beth Copeland, Miss Dora Coates,
Dr. E. L. Henderson, Mrs. C. R.
Shuler, and Mrs. J. B. Spillman.
This chapter sponsored a bridge
tournament in the West Edgecombe
Community House in February.
Mrs. Kate W. Beekwith, former
Dean of Women of East Carolina
Teachers College was guest speaker
at the Sunday evening Vesper Serv-
ice on April 23.
Mrs. Beekwith began her talk by
reading the nineteenth Psalm which
she said was one of her favorites.
"There are two characters who stand
out pronouncedly in the Bible who
have been much help to me she said.
They were David in the Old Testa-
ment and Peter in the New Testa-
ment.
David had characteristics that she
herself possessed and would like to
overcome. One of these was just hu-
man weaknesses of the body, mind
and soul. David was always willing
to try again when stumped by some
difficulty.
Mrs. Beekwith compared her lack
of self-control, her lack of restraint
to that of Peter's. She illustrated
this with a story of the lack of self-
control of a member of the law. She
compared also her fear of pain to
that of Peter's. "I am glad the Lord
has given strength to us who are
afraid of physical pain she con-
tinned.
Peter wished not to be crucified
as his Christ, but bended his head
for he wanted to redeem himself for
being a coward.
"When I meet trials and troubles,
I am always strengthened by these
like characteristics of Peter and
David she said.

I?l KPOM OF ALOlLIE ISSUE
Fhis edition of the Teco Echo has a two-foW purpose. The first of these
is to give information concerning the alumnae and alumni of this college.
The second purpose is to present to the graduates of past years some high-
lights of student life and activity on the campus of ECTC at the present
time.
Approximately 1,600 copies of this special issue are being distributed
the alumnae. Special emphasis is being placed upon the annual Alumnae
Day to be ? lebrated Saturday, June ? and all those who have graduated
hiseollege in years past are cordially invited and urged to be present.
The Alumnae Association will offer a program that day which will fee
: by all those who return to this campus for a reunion with class-
- Mid faculty. It is an opportunity to renew old friendships, to he "on
campus' once more, to feel the presence of East Carolina Teachers College.

and the least we can expect from campuses is that they realize they are
being fed with war propaganda, and that they think calmly, and sanely,
not react blindly, easily, catastrophically. Let's decide on a program for
thinking. Let's think calmly, without hysteria, without popping our eyes
out every time we hear a loud voice shouting that war is inevitable. That
kind of thinking is one of the things we go to college for
The editors of the Sewmnee Purple of the University of the South have
a new solution : They are campaigning for the founding of an Anti-Sour-
puss League. Here's what they think their new- organization should do:
"The creature this League prepares to exterminate comes in many sizes
and flavors, but his essential features are the same. He was born with a
bad disposition, and has been looking ever since for some pretext to make
everyone else as uncomfortable as he. The age at which he becomes a con-
firmed Sourpuss may be early or late, depending upon whether early or
late he discovered the world's obtuse lack of appreciation for his talents.
Even more important is his lack of a sense of humor, the light touch. The
motto of the club is a bit ungrammatical but real none the less
'I don't hate nobody The anti-Communists, anti-Fascists, anti-New
Dealers, anti-Capitalists, and anti-Low Churchmen will demand special
attention, if we are to coax them back into health and sanity. The speaking
or reading acquaintances of a person with a CAUSE have long been blood-
less martyrs.
"The Sourpuss abroad with his ugly, brutal, earnestness about him is
responsible for the world crisis today. We will show the European clubs
some methods for use on their Hitlers. Show them how over here we vent
our anger, 'Go to "War' and still don't become Sourpusses
Maybe they've got something there!

Penthouse Programs Inaugurated
The penthouse presentation was
inaugurated on our campus at the
regular meeting of the Immanuel
Baptist Training Union, Saturday,
April 29. A few years ago at the
University of Washington, in Seattle,
the theater group originated the
method of play production in which
all the action takes place in the
center of the room, the audience com-
pletely surrounding the players. In
similar manner the training union
group under the direction of Vir-
ginia Weldon presented their pro-
gram, "Christ's Minority in Japan
Sitting on grass rugs and sipping
tea in true Japanese fashion, a
group of Americans interviewed a
Japanese in her native habitat
while other members of the train-

Such presentations are to be weekly
features of this group. The public
is cordially invited to attend each
Saturday afternoon at 2:00 in room

Sidney Mason, another E.C.T.C. co-

editor was so impressed by the first
prayer that he decided to donate a
dollar to the offering. When they
rose to sing he decided that maybe
he had better give just seventy-five
cents. On the second prayer he
thought that perhaps he had better
give a half-of-dollar. The sixth
prayer got it down to a quarter.

Nursery School As New Project
This year, for the first time, it
has been possible for students here
to major in Music and Physical
Education. Also, Home Economics,
as a major separate from Home
Economies and Science, has been
established.
In giving students an opportunity
to develop their musical talents to
their own advantage, the adminis-
tration has increased the assets of
the college to the extent oi a newly-
organized orchestra and band. Prog-
ress in these two musical groups has
been steady.
Making its initial appearance on
the night of the Senior Play, the
orchestra, under the direction of Mr.
Dittmer, has made rapid progress
as was shown recently when it per-
formed prior to Paul Green's speech
here. This new musical organiza-
tion promises distinction to the col-
lege, at the same time presenting the
participants with the opportunity of
developing their musical talents to
a great enough degree to provide
them the possibility of entering a

Nine Children
Enrolled; Evelyn
Rogers In
Charge
Inaugurated by East Carolina
Teachers College during the winter
term this year, the Xursery School,
under the supervision of the Home
Economics Department, started the
spring term with an enrollment of
nine children from two to four years
of age.
Miss Evelyn Rogers, graduate of
PXTC, has charge of the school.
Having spent last fall studying in
preparation for . this work, Miss
Rogers now supervises the activities
of the children and the home eco-
nomics juniors and seniors who work
with the group. From nine until
one each day these activities are in
progress.
Situated on the campus, in a part
of the Home Management House,
the school is easily accessible to
children, parents, and college stu-
dents connected with it.
Providing for a story hour, sing-
ing and listening to music, eating,
and resting, and for individual and
cooperative play, the school pre-
sents opportunity for much good
work in playground supervision ad-
vantageous to both student and
child.
Students who are members of the
Child Guidance Class plan the
meals, do the buying, and prepare the
lunch in the school.
Education and Psychology classes
of the college observe the learning
and behavior of the pre-school child
in this group as contrasted with that

teaching career in this field of en-
deavor.
Dressed in regal purple and gold,
the band, which is also an outgrowth
of the new music program, has been
displayed to good advantage on sev-
eral occasions. Appearing for the
first time at the ECTC-Campbell
football game, the college band has
increased its ability and added to
its repertoire since this occasion; and
at the last exhibition on High School
Day showed considerable improve-
ment over former performances.
Physical Education has been
recognized as an important factor
in the college curriculum for some
time, but only this year has it come
into significance as a separate course
of study. Formerly the required
courses in this field were restricted
almost whollv to elementary majors.
It is now recognized as of great
enough importance to warrant be-
coming a major field. Having only
recently come into its own, the field
is one which holds great possibili-
ties.
Home Economics as a lone major
is of recent origin, having been
separated from the combination
Home Economics and Science just
this year. This field is also con-
sidered one of great possibilities.

Centennial Cele-
bration To BeHeld
Observation of the celebration of
the eentenial of teachers colleges
will be held here at East Carolina
Teachers College in the near future.
The commemoration is being spon-
sored by the American Association
of Teachers Colleges which met in
Cleveland, Ohio, this spring.
The State Teachers College at
Lexington, Mass the first teachers
college to be established in the
United States, was founded on hun-
dred years ago, on July 3, 1839.
Cyrus Peirce was the first president
of the college. The celebration is
for the observation of the hundred
years of teachers colleges since then.
Roscoe L. West of the State Teach-
ers College at Trenton, if. J is
serving as chairman of the national
committee for the celebration of the
century of public teachers education.
Miss Emma Hooper is serving as
chairman of the local committee here.
This committee will work with the

drup, Dr. McGinnis, Mr. Pickel-
simer, and Dr. Posey.
The local committee met Monday,
May 1, for the first time to discuss
plans for carrying out the celebra-
tion.
The purpose of the celebration is
to get the teachers colleges of the
country before the public. This will
be done by the advertising of the
colleges through debates, radio pro-
grams, speeches, essays, news articles
and such, given by members of the
various student bodies.
A sub-committee has been ap-
pointed to discuss a more elaborate
celebration next year. The mem-
bers of this committee are Miss
Hooper, Miss Davis, Miss Kuyken-
dall, and Miss Holtzclaw.
"Often commended for its beauti-
ful spirit the class of 1014- is
especially recognized for having
launched the first school magazine,
called the Training School Quartcr-l

appeared for April, May, and June,
1914, and was. dedicated "to the
childhood of "North Carolina and we
pray that you may grow best while
feeding the needs of the teachers of

The quarterly was a professional
magazine published jointly by the
students and faculty. The staff,
composed of members of the '14 class
wns headed by Mattie H. Bright as
editor and Annie E. Smaw as busi-
ness manager. On the staff were
Blanehe Lancaster, Emily I). Gayle.
Marion F. Alston (Mrs. Henry
Bourne), and Grace E. Smith.
Misses Maria D. Graham, Mamie E.
Jenkins and Daisy B. Waitt were
the faculty advisers.
The first issue was a senior num-
ber, featuring the graduating class.
Attention was also given the Model
School and to the three leaders in
the organization to the college?Gov.
Thomas J. Jarvis, Mr. James Law-
son Fleming and Mr. W. H. Rags-
dale.
Among the contents for this first
Training School Quarterly was an
article on "Some Modern Tenden-
cies in Education" by the late Presi-
dent Robert EL Wright, "Our Xative
Trees and Flowers" by Jacques Bus-
bee, an address delivered before
ECTTS, "Our Practice School" by
May Barrett, and a paper on the
beginning and growth of this col-
lege by Gov. Jarvis.
Campus news was in the form of j
stories of the student council, literary j
societies, YW.C.A athletic league j
special happenings of the year, school
notes and write-ups of the graduat-
ing class.
There can be found the account of
the presentation of Longfellow's
masque, "Pandora the Colonial
Party given in February, an in-
formal tea after the 'I415 tennis
game, the Junior-Senior reception,
the planting and tending of the
alass flower, the sweet-pea, and the
planting of the magnolia tree fol-
lowing the precedent of the class
of 1913.
There is an account of the activi-
ties of the class, which can h be
summed up in a quotation taken from
the pages of the quarterly itself??
"the clasa of '13 made for itself a
reputation of doing things. Its mem-
bers developed initiative, indepen-
dence and leadership and have ever
been ready to contribute to all whole-
some school activities. The class has
given active support to the YAV.C.A.
and to the literary societies. It has
also taken an active part in ath-
letics, showing a worthy spirit both
in defeat and in victory

Teco Echo Rates
Good In Report
"Good the second-class honor
rating award of the Associated Col-
legiate Press critical service, has
been given the 1938-1939 volume of
the Tkco Echo.
With 1,000 as a total score, the bi-
weekly publication won 600 points.
Fnder the heading "news values and
sources" 1(55 of a possible '250 points
were scored. One hundred and fifty
out of 2S0 were awarded for "news
writing and editing The "head-
lines, typography and make-up" rat-
ed 145 of the 250 points, and "de-
partment pages and special features"
mustered 140 of the 220 points.
Sports editor Jack Daniels' de-
partment rated "Excellent" as did
the "coverage, balance and vitality"
under the grouping "news values and
sources
One of the constructive criticisms
cautioned against subjecting readers
to "too many long stories Another
suggested a more harmonizing style
of type to go with the flush-left head-
lines and streamlined make-up which
was introduced this year.
Evaluation was made only on the
first seven issues of the Teco Echo
under the editorship of Billy Dan-
iels and the present staff. This second
class rating was also made by last
year's volume under Ray Pruette.
Sponsored by the University of
Minnesota School of Journalism, the
Associated Collegiate Press is a part
of the National Scholastic Press As-
sociation which offers this critical
service to high school and college
newspapers each year.

The East Carolina Teachers Col-
lege Student Branch of the Associa-
tion for Childhood Education with
Miss Coates as adviser was organized
in the fall of 1936. The purpose ac-
cording to the charter issued this
branch by the National Organization
is as follows: "The purpose of this
organization shall he to gather and
disseminate knowledge of the move-
ment for the education of young chil-
dren ; to bring into active coopera-
tion all childhood education inter-
ests, including parent education; to
promote the progressive type of ed-
ucation in nursery school, kinder-
garten and primary grades, and to
raise the standard of the professional
training for teachers and leaders in
this field
When the branch was organized
there were twenty-five members. The
membership has increased until at
the present there are seventy-eight
members. Those eligible for mem-
bership are not limited to the Junior
and Senior classes but include any
students majoring in elementary ed-
ucation.
Presidents of this organization
have been Frances Edgerton for the
first year and Rebecca Nicholson for
the past two years. Some of the out-
standing activities engaged in by
the members are as follows:
One group sponsored a booth for
the A.C.E. publications at the North
Carolina Education Association Con-
vention held here at the college. The
purposes of this were to distribute
the A.C.E. materials and to increase
the funds of this organization

Averette is the mother of a June,
1939, graduate, Marguerite Aver-
ette, who is the first president of the
Alumnae Daughters and Sons Club,
newly organized here this year.
As a "Forward Look" there will
be an inspirational talk on work for
the alumnae to begin to do.
At the business meeting the elec-
tion of officers of the association for
the next two-year term will take
place.
Following the programs in the
Austin building, the annual Alum-
nae Luncheon will be held in the
college dining hall.
After the luncheon the afternoon
will be devoted to class reunion
meetings.
Members of the faculty of East
Carolina Teachers College have been

lowing addresses: On April 20 a com-
mencement talk at Swan Quarter,

planning place cards.
In honor of its distinguished guest
Mrs. McClelland Mayforth, editor
of Childhood Education, the organi-
zation entertained at tea in the par-
lors of Fleming Hall.
One of the services rendered by a
group under the leadership of Julia
Yan Landingham has been the story
hour at the Training School. This
hour on Monday and Tuesday was
for the benefit of those children
waiting for the bus and others who
were interested.
A contribution was made to help
purchase glasses for Training School
children who need them but were
unable to have them without aid.
To aid these prospective teachers
in diagnosing and treating common
diseases found in young children Dr.
Haar, a child specialist, spoke very
informingly along this line at one
meeting.
The association reached one of its
aims for the past year when it sent
representatives to-the National Con-
vention in Atlanta. Those attending
were Mary Lou Butner, Edith Mar-
tin, Neta Lee Townsend, Rebecca
Nicholson, and Miss Dora Coates and
Miss Annie C. Newell. One of the
values received by the representa-
tives was the feeling that they be-
longed to such a large professional
organization.
The members of this organization
have also enjoyed several social
meetings. The students with several
faculty members cooked supper in
the "Y" hut one night and breakfast
in Dr. Adams' backyard one morn-
ing.
This organization is not only affil-
iated with the National Association

i?'ltimtk Story
ip q a time, there was a very fine little baseball player at a college
ECTC, whose name was Cinder-Earl-a. This athlete very fortu-
ne 1 an offer from a prov team to play ball for them. Now this
ttle boy was elated because he needed the money, although it did

And ??. the story runs, the happy little athlete was already to ac-

nder-Earl-a's fairy godfathers (who taught school at the nice
. and tiny told him: "Xaughty, naughty, Cinder-Earl-a, mustn't
: ball until school is out And so poor little Cinder-Earl-a had to
a nice, tat pay check and go back to play ball for his dear ole
mmv free of charge.
The Pirates' tennis team gained
revenge last Monday for a recent de-
feat at Louisburg by trimming the
Trojans in a return match here by a
514-3 ? score.
Charlie Green of the Corsairs de-
faeted Willing of Louisburg in the
feature match which lasted 2!2
hours. Green won the first set easily
at 6-1, but Willing came back strong
to take a marathon second set by a
10-S score. After a brief rest the boys
went at it again, and Green emerged
victorious in the third set largely
on the strength of his net-play.
Leo Burks took a beautifully
played No. 1 match from Louis-
burg's Bell. The Trojan put up a
hard battle, hut Leo, who has lost
only once this vear, was too much
for him.
Doug Glover followed up Burks'
victory with another spectacular win
over Luis in the- No. 2 singles. Both
players relied on their terrific smash-
ing power at the net with Glover hav-
ing a slight edge.
Another hard fought extra set af-
fair saw Charles "Flash" Harris win
from Woodard. The Trojan rallied

Taking advantage of the breaks
of the game, East Carolina's swash-
buckling Pirates won over the Tro-
jans of Louisburg College by a 4 to
1 margin in a game played here.
Kelly Martin returned to the mound
for the locals after an absence of
several weeks due to injuries, and
kept six hits well scattered to hold
the opposition to one marker. The
Pirates utilized three hits and several
free passes granted by Lynch and
Darrington, Louisburg hurlers, to
score three runs in the first stanza
to forge into the lead and add an-
other in the seventh.
Statistics of the game indicate it
was one of those athletic freaks. The
Trojans outhit the Teachers six safe
blows to three and had a perfect
fielding record as compared with
three errors by the local club. How-
ever, the margin of victory for the
Pirates was found in Martin's su-
periority in control over the visiting
pitchers and his effectiveness in keep-
ing his opponents' hits well scat-
tered.
Teachers Defeat
Men of Troy
With Willie Phillips doing the
pitching, the Teachers defeated
Louisburg College by an 8 to 7 score
in a game played on the Trojans'
home field. The East Carolinians
were trailing 6 to 5 as they came to
bat in the first half of the ninth in-
ning, but put on a spree to count
up three runs and forge into the lead.
The Louisburgians threatened seri-
ously in their portion of the last
stanza, pushed one run across the
plate, and came within a single mark-
er of tying the score. Phillips tight-
ened down with men on base, how-
ever, to nip the rally without further
damage.
Earl Smith led the Pirates' attack
with three hits for five times at bat.
Shelton, Mayo, and Hinton con-
tributed two hits each to the offensive
to figure in the victory.
1939 Graduate
Coaches Sports
Men-students at E.C.T.C. have
f oiind it very worth while to partici-
pate in as well as make a study of
the various sports, because there is
a demand in most schools for men
teachers who can coach athletics as
well as teach the regular courses of
study.
Among the thirteen men gradu-
ates of last year now engaged in
teaching may be found six who coach
athletics at their respective schools.
The list of men teaching and coach-
ing, and their various locations, are:
Joe Braxton?Rock Ridge, Wil-
son County.
Chauncey Calfee?Elm City.
Fran Ferebee?Timberlake, Per-
son County.
Jim Johnson?Clayton.
Baxter Ridenhour?Bahama.
"Primmy" Carpenter?Burgaw.
When interviewed recently by the
Teco Echo's W.A.A. reporter, Lu-
cille Norton, head of women's ath-
letics, announced that girls' track
would make its debut at East Caro-
lina tomorrow, May 6, with the run-
ning off of eight track and field
events. The events include: 50 yard
dash, 75 yard dash, running broad
jump, standing broad jump, high
jump, hop-step-and-jump, baseball
throw, and basketball throw. A large
number of campus athletes are ex-
pected to participate.
Coach Norton then gave a general
discussion of the girls' yearly record
and the future of women's athletics.
"Much progress said Miss Nor-
ton, "has been made in girl sports
for the past few years. The program
has been enlarged and now includes
many new activities. Though it is
yet not complete, it is by far the
best all-around program in girl
sports ever conducted on this campus.
"Intramural tournaments are out-
standing occurrences for girls who
wish to participate in some form of
sport. Every girl is made eligible
for an intramural tournament by
signing up as a participant.
"This is the first year that East
Carolina Teachers College has ever
had a volleyball team. There were
two interscholastic volleyball games
in which E.C.T.C. split "with Black-
stone.
"Basketball is still the winter's
most outstanding girls' sport. This
year we won the five interscholastic
games played.
"For the first time in the history
of the college, field hockey was a
school sport. Class instruction was
given in field hockey last term.
"Softball and tennis head the list
in spring sports on this campus.
More girls than ever before went
out for soft ball this spring.

Racket Wielders
Lose Close One
Louisburg College edged a 5-4 win
over the Pirate netters on the Tro-
jans' home courts. The meet was
marked by a number of closely played
matches.
Charles Harris' victory over
Woodard was the feature singles
match of the afternoon. Harris ran
out the first set 6-1 and he held a
5-1 lead in second when the Trojan
player rallied tremendously to pull
out the set 7-5. Harris then settled
down to take the third set 6-3.
The No. 1 singles saw Leo Burks,
little leader of the Bucs, win over
Bell in straight sets. The first set
teas an easy victory 6-1 for Burks,
but Bell fought back courageously,
making a dogfight of the second set
which finally went to Burks at 8-6.
Douglas "Ruffin" Glover defeated
Luis, the Trojans' Cuban star, in the
No. 2 singles. Luis showed a hard
and oftentimes brilliant attack, but
Glover was too steady for him. Three
of Louisburg's five victories were
extra-set affairs. These were the No.
6 singles and the No. 2 and 3 doubles.
Summary:

With a terrific, onslaught of IS
hits, the Buccaneer baseball machine
rolled up a grand total of 16 runs
to completely route the Braves of
William and Mary, Norfolk Di-
vision in a game played here. The
embattled Braves could do little with
the left-handed offerings of Frank
Roebuck and only succeeded in push-
ing one lonely run across the platter.
The Bucs hopped into the lead in
the first inning with a three run
scoring effort, and came back in the
third stanza with a barrage of base
hits to score a total of nine markers.
Hinton, aggerssive catcher, led the
locals at bat with five hits for five
trips to the plate. Shelton, Hatem,
and Smith each garnered three safe
blows to contribute to the scoring.

The alumnae office has made a
considerable amount of progress this
year. With the aid of an N.Y.A.
helper more than one thousand ad-
ditional addresses have been filed.
AVork is continuing to bring the oth-
ers up to date and the files are grad-
ually taking the desired shape.
Contact has been made with the
alumnae in High Point, Greens-
boro and Greenville toward organiz-
ing chapters of the state alumnae
association. Plans have been for
more work of this kind in several
other towns but the units have not
been organized as yet.
The secretary has visited all of
the alumnae chapters at some time
during the vear and talked with them
with regard to her work in the alum-
nae office. Unusual interest has been
shown on the part of these chapters
and the secretary gained much help
from her visits.
There has been a column of Alum-
nae news in each issue of the Teco
Ecno and much contact has been
made through letters to the gradu-
ates of the college.
The secretary has represented the
college at various occasions, chiefly
the "College Days" of the high
schools of Tarboro, High Point,
Winston-Salem, and Greensboro.
The work so far has been slow
but the files are gradually improving
and more contacts are made each day
toward a more active alumnae asso-
ciation.

Pirate Netters Take
Revenge On Trojans
Dormitory Life Is The Life
If One Can Believe This Tale
By MARGARET G. OVERMAN
Dormitory life is great! The girls
will all telf you so. There's nothing
else like it?they hope. One nice,
big. happy family living together in
peace and contentment?more or
less.
To begin with, there's that famil-
iar ring of alarm clocks which go
off, sometimes in chorus, som -
times at regular intervals. At any
event, when they go off it is suffi-
cient bint to the dormitory girl that
the time has come to climb out of
I and into her clothes, take the
curlers out of her hair, powder her
nose, and rush to the dining hall.
Well! Classes over for the morn-
ing, the dormitory girl returns to
her room, wondering what to do for
the next hour until time for lunch.
Of course, she could study ? but
she'd never think of that possibility.
So?she turns on the radio, gets her
latest movie magazine and settles
down to a serious meditation of Ty-
rone Power's latest love affair.
Lunch over, the dormitory girl
again returns to her room. Thinking
this time to settle down and study,
she picks up her five books, piles
them on the table, and assumes an
air of industrious study. But?just
as she gets into the mood for some
real work on tomorrow's Math, in
walks the restless roommate with
ideas about a movie.
The Math really is important?
but "never let business intcrefere
with pleasure" seems to be the mot-
to. To make a more scientific decis-
ion the girls flip a coin, and in spite
of the fact that this experiment fav-
ors staying at home, the call of the
movies is stronger and wins over
great odds.
Night time approaches, and as the
evening grows steadily older the
Math and English for tomorrow sud-
denly become increasingly impor-
tant. To the strains of Guy Lom-
bardo's "sweetest music this side
of Heaven" the girls attack their
respective lessons.
One problem worked and the next
one well in hand, roommate ?To. 1
is priding herself on rapid progress
when a white slip of paper slides
under the door. Oh, Dear!?Com-
pany! Of course, she knows who it
is and she hasn't time to see him?
the Math, you know. However, one
can't be rude.
Somebody must have moved the
clock up an hour. It's almost twelve
o'clock. Well, the Math can wait
until tomorrow. As for the English,
she can do that on Math class. Any-
way, no teacher should expect a girl
to stay up until all hours studying.

Harris had captured the first one,
but Harris raised his game ,to its

Watson and Chaffin accounted for

Meadows. Chaffin had to go three

Burks and Glover continued un-

New Building
Now Nearing
Completion
Work on a new classroom building
at East Carolina Teachers College
was started last January under a
$300,000 PWA program by Gregory
Construction Company of Raleigh,
N. C.
Plans show the new project to be
a three-winged "U" shaped structure.
The building will be 225 feet, nine
inches across the front and 168 feet,
seven inches long. The front of the
building will be even with the front
of the infirmary and will have a
large porch. It will be a three-story
building but all three stories will not
be completed. The flooring and wall
partition on the first floor will not
be finished because of a lack of funds.
At present the first floor exterior
walls are finished and work has be-
gun on the steel construction. The
progress has been slowed up by un-
favorable weather conditions but the
building will be ready for occupation
by the fall of 1939 if no serious
weather conditions prevent.
Bids were submitted last Tuesday
for the furnishing contract by sev-
eral companies.
