said England is ruled by a lost

old age continues to control Europe,
no lasting peace can he had.
Mr. Grady spoke on the place of

Meadows to Welcome Visi-
tors; Adams Heads Committee
Eighteen committees are mapping plan- for the fifth annual lligh
School Day to be held Tuesday, April 16. This year's High School Da
,vill bring approximately 3,000 high school seniors and their instruct r
from 12) schools of 4 eounties to the campus for a program designed to
provide tomorrow's college freshmen with an adequate conception oi
what college life is like intellectually and socially.
Even though definite plan- have not been made by some of the eon
inittees, decided progress prevails among each group. Chairmen oi the
various committee- explained that all possible ways and means are being
used to make every phase of the program function smoothly.
Headed by Dr. Carl L. Adam the central committee is composed of
the following: Miss Lois Grigsby, A. L Kttmer, O. A. ffankner, Miss
Rosaline hey. Miss Mary Greene, Mrs. Ague- W. Barrett and H. .
Deal.
Since one of the purposes of the program i- to let the entire student body
and faeulty give the guests of the colleges a warm welcome and assist
them with'inspections of the campus and departments, classroom work
will not last longer than the first two periods.
O New Features
Heretofore the program's social
aspect- have excelled the educational
features. This year, however, each
department of Ka-t Carolina Teach-
ers College has been asked to offer
exhibitions of work by student- oi

The big athletic event of the past
has been the traditional baseball
game between Fast Carolina Teach-

been arranged between high school

ties. The softball game will be
played during the morning between

Supporting Principles
Who!) our forefal hers came to the I nited States they were spirited
lv certain principles and ideals and it was through these that they
were able to resist autocratic influences of the mother country ami
thereby gain their independence. Since childhood days of the
United States the continuance of principles and ideals in govern-
mental, economic, social, religious, and educational undertakings
have enabled our people to comprise the citizenship of the country,
that is one of the recognized world powers. In retaining these
principles and ideals eminent leaders subjected themselves to
criticism and ridicule by so-called friends because of their determi-
nation to support a principle and do what they regarded as right
in a democratic spirit.
Not only in the government of the country but also in self gov-
erning organizations of educational institutions (especially teacher
training) we also ind students who will defy friends and enemies
to support a principle. Such an occurrence was prevalent in a
men's Student Government election held at the end of last term.
In a democratic country the citizen is allowed under a constitu-
tion to sav what he thinks, and write what he thinks as long as he
refrains from violating the law. The growth of dictatorship in,
European nations is the result of people of those nations allowing
others to do their thinking instead of thinking for themselves.
When people in a democratic government do what is right and
are ridiculed by thoughtless individuals it is a grave threat to the;
government as well as individuals within that government. The
occurrence on the E.C.T.C. campus is a good example of students
possessed with the eourage to adhere to principles in an effort to
sustain the qualities of an effective student self-governing or-
ganization.
The Teco Echo is also a strong supporter of principles and
ideals and its everlasting policy flu's year and in preceding years
has been designed to promote democratic thinking among the
student bodv ami to stimulate the interests of the students in
activities on the campus to the extent that they will think for
themselves.
It has been noticeable that the ring-leaders in this recent agita-
tion have also been the ring-leaders in opposing most of the major
current problems that have arisen during the school year.

Student government is a very fine
thing to have n our campus, though
some of us like ir and some t us
do not like it at least some of the
things it does. Student government
should be the upholder of high
morals, above everything else. On a
campus, as ours where two student
governments exist, both should co-
operate whole-heartedly. Hut both
cannot do it if one deliberately takes
the negative n all questions no mat-

Welcome. Seniors
East Carolina Teachers College extends a hearty invitation to
each higfh school senior to attend the fifth annual High School
Day program here on Tuesday, April 16. High School Day was
inaugurated here for the purpose of introducing the high school
.seniors of the state to college life at E.C.T.C.
In planning the day's program the committees have kept in mind
the purpose of giving the seniors a bird's-eye view of college life
in its serious and recreational aspects. They have arranged for
visiting in the various departments on the campus, several physical
educational exhibits, a barbecue luncheon, dancing, a moving picture
show, a baseball game, etc.
We urge you, seniors, to visit the campus this year on High School
Dav and enjoy a full day of college life. Come early and stay late.

painted the colors of one of the
schools and the other half the colors
of the other school. When either
team wins, the score is painted on
the bucket. If the Pirates lose, James

Echo, will surrender the trophy to

winning team.
School Spirit With Colors Flying
Frequently it has been said that our students lacked school spirit,
but we have definite proof that this is not so as was evidenced at
the recent dedication and homecoming day exercises.
It took quite a bit of patience, cooperation, and willingness to
make the day go off as it should on the part of the student body
when they stood out in the bitter cold for over an hour waiting for
the procession to start. Many of these students were without coats
and were clad in thin white dresses with short sleeves, but they
remained to participate in the day's exercises.
The students are to be congratulated upon their patient coopera-
tion and their splendid show of school spirit on this occasion.

ing over our campus and these add quite a bit of attraction to the
loveliness of our campus. But it so happens that this shrubbery
was placed there for beauty and for no other purpose?at least not
for the purpose of being picked as some students seem to think.
A number of students have been plucking these lovely blossoms
and leaving the bushes bare. This is not the right way to treat
other people's property.
Students, let's keep in mind that these blossoms look much
better on the bushes where all can enjoy them rather than off the
bushes where only a few can enjoy them, and refrain from plucking
them in the future.

Laek of Interest in Elections
The vote is said to be one of the most powerful weapons that
any individual has, but evidently the majority of the students
did not think so at the recent student elections.
On this occasion only iiS4- students, both boys and girls, voted
for the editors ami business managers of the publications, and
only $48 voted for the heads of the Women's Student Government
Association in the first election and S18 in the second election.
That means that only approximately one-third of the student body
went to the polls to vote. Where were the other two-thirds of the
students when the election took place? The only answer is that
they did not come to the polls.
This evidences very little interest on the part of the majority
of the students in the affairs of their college for which there is
little excuse. Certainly they know who was running for the various
offices because these candidates were nominated and introduced
at a previous mass meeting which the student body was required
to attend. Also the names of the nominees were posted on the
bulletin boards for approximately two weeks in advance of the
election.
Frequently the majority of the students complain about never
having anything to do with the functions of the major organiza-
tions, yet when they get a chance to vote and express their opinions
they do not even recognize an opportunity to function. It is the
duty and the privilege of every student to vote for their campus
officials.
Next year if anything ever comes up which the students do not
like, they will have no comeback because they failed to function
when they had the opportunity.
Let's Keep Our Campus Pretty
S. .1. Dearback, head coach of the Westinghouse Apprentice
School, East Pittsburgh, Pa remarked on the beauty of the
E.C.T.C. campus recently while visiting here. He stated, "Gee,
you've got a beautiful campus. I did my schooling at Carnegie
Tech and thought it had something in the way of a pretty campus.
Your campus here is something swell However Mr. Dearback
would probably not think this campus will remain a beautiful
campus if he could have seen a number of our students abusing
it as some have been doing recently.
With the coming of spring many flowering shrubs are blossom-
Defense of Practice Teachers
Once again Green Lights has brought to the fore the needless
and foolish agitation on the part of the Greenville high school
towards practice teachers. And once again the Teco Echo will
attempt to defend the standards which the college upholds in
practice teaching.
In the first place we would like to point out that Green Lights
in a recent editorial stated that "in many ways the advantages
of practice teaching in the high school outweigh the disadvantages
We are glad that they made this statement. But we see no reason
why thev should continue to harp on poorly prepared practice
teachers. Wc answered that in a former editorial. To their objec-
tions that an average of a "3" is not high enough for practice
teaching, we would like to add that it is the state requirement for
certification. If this is not high enough to suit them, then the fault
lies not with E.C.T.C, but with the State.
Many of our present practice teachers have come up through
the Greenville school system?to be exact approximately 15 per
cent of our student body?and they are in the position to judge
both sides of the disturbance. These students contend that anyone
who is willing to learn in the local high school can easily profit
by practice teachers. Furthermore if the high school students were
half as willing to cooperate with the student teachers as they are
with the high school students, there wouldn't be half so much criti-
cism. The practice teachers aren't down there for the fun of it,
as it is a requirement which they must pass to graduate and they
go down there with the determination to do good. Therefore they
put forth their greatest effort to be cooperative and to help the
class. If the students would do likewise they would help the situa-
tion greatly.
It is the general opinion of many E.C.T.C. practice teachers
that if they were better backed by high school critic teachers and
administration that things would run smoother. For instance when
students are sent from the room to the office, the administration
frequently sends them back the next day without any form of
punishment. This gives the students an opportunity to defy the
teacher because she is not sufficiently backed. What can anyone
expect of a poor teacher in such a position because the student can
get by with anything they wish?
With the college paying a supplement to the critic teachers it
has enabled the students to have better teachers than they ordi-
narily would in a high school of that size, and with these better
teachers to supervise and back practice teachers the situation
should be ideal.
The Teco Echo is prone to believe that if G.H.S. would focus
all of her criticism and prejudice of practice teachers toward
their own lack of equipment in several fields, their efforts would
not be so futile and would probably result in something more
profitable.
The Pirates regained the trophy in a
haskethall game last quarter.
No Grouping This Year
In previous High School Day pro-
grams college students from various
counties sending high school stu-
dents to the College for the annual
program have organized with the
view of assisting in grouping the
delegations from their counties.
Since the delegates will not he
grouped by counties in the Robert
II. Wright auditorium, the ECTC
students are not organizing this
year. However, they have expressed
the intention of cooperating with
the various committeemen in making
the stay of students from their
counties a most enjoyable one.
ATogram Plans
Registration will get under way
in the Robert II. Wright building
lobby at 9:30 o'clock. The Softball
game will start at 10 o'clock. After
the game guests will assemble at the
municipal swimming pool and march
to the Wright auditorium. The
Elizabeth City band by name, and
Pasquotank County-wide high school
band in reality, will lead the parade
and furnish the music for the brief
program in the Wright building
after the march is concluded.
Following a roll call by counties.
President L. R. Meadows will de-
liver the address of welcome. The
mixed chorus of the College will offer
special vocal selections, after which
there will be recognition of special
guests. This phase of the program
will be concluded at 12 :45 and the
guests and students will then go to
the west campus for a tempting
barbecue luncheon.
Afternoon Program
Visits to various departments of
the College, the really big feature
of the day, will highlight the after-
noon program. Guides will be on
hand to show the guests through the
departments. Aside from the visits
a movie will be shown in the Austin
auditorium, dancing will prevail in
the campus building, and a baseball
game will be played on the athletic
field in the eastern region of the
campus.
Program Purposes
President Meadows has explained
in previous addresses of welcome
that the purpose of High School
Day is not to encourage students
to enter this College necessarily, but

Five Girls and One Boy
Emerge Victorious
There'll be plenty "big doings" in
the athletic division of East Carolina
Teachers College when the annual
High School Day celebration is
staged Tuesday, April Hi.
The biggest event of the day?and
that doesn't mean the barbecue din-
ner?will be the traditional baseball
game between the Pirates and the
Bulldogs of Atlantic Christian Col-
lege. This game will be played in
the afternoon of the High School
Day festivities.
Another big athletic event on tap
for the morning program is a soft-
ball game. This game will be played
between registration and the big
parade to be staged by the hundreds
of boys and girls here for the cele-
bration. Tentative plans call for
staging the game between Pitt
County and Wilson County boys. It
?' i
is proposed to make this an annual
affair and let the winner of this
year's game play a new team next
year until the preceding winner is
eliminated.
But there's no getting around the
ECTC-ACC encounter. That is
going to be one of the hardest-fought
games ever to be witnessed on the
Pirate diamond. Fans who saw last
year's tilt will recall the ninth-inning
homer that won the game for the
Bulldogs. And a home run in the
ninth at the hands of Atlantic
Christian College is more painful
for the Pirates than one would

us same kind of spirit is prevailing in splendid style

rease their emphasis on college football remains to be seen.
It is I. .mi know, for a school to abandon its most prized means of
merely to serve as a cheer leader for higher education. When

EARLY SPORTS SCHEDULES NEEDED
It is ? ? practice of most colleges and universities of the country to
prt sports schedules as many as two or three years in advance. As
these schools are able to gain representation in nationally-known
k ewspapers and magazines. ECTC lias escaped such representa-

The deadline for entries in soft-
ball, tennis, ping pong and horse
shoes will be April 9. All entries
must have been filled by that date,
and the intramural season will pos-
sibly begin on Thursday April 11.
If the boys show as much interest
as has been witnessed during pre-
ceding years, the program this year
will draw more entries than ever
before.
The athletic head also is making
plans for an intramural track meet
to be held early in May. This has
not been tried on this campus before
and should create a great deal of
interest. Any student will be eligi-
ble to vie for individual honors, and
all entries will be given a chance to
show their ability. The deadline for
entries in the track meet has not
vet been announced but will be posted
in plenty of time for individual
participation.

to hand over the Bo Hunk" trophy
to the Bulldogs, who kept it until
the Pirates defeated them in a bas-

Bulldogs supporters are just as fond
of the trophy as the ECTC students
and they'll clash with the Pirates
in the April 16 game, fully deter-
mined to take the old oaken bucket
back to Atlantic Christian College.
Still, the Pirates hope to keep it
here. Only the game will tell what
the outcome will be.
The contest is destined to pro-
duce one of the largest turnouts in
the history of the school. In ad-

President of State Alumni Associa-
tion, East Carolina Teachers Col-
lege.
Dear Alumni:
How delightful it was to have so
many of you back for Homecoming!
You contributed much to the success
of the day. Surely March 9, with its
many pleasures, has served as such
an inspiration that already you have
made resolutions to always return
for Homecoming, Commencement,
and other eventful occasions.
Alumni were present as far back
as the class of '12. Registration took
place from 10:00 a.m. until 10:f0
a.m. and some alumni did not get
here until too late to register. Others,
who for various reasons could not at-
tend the day's events, came to the
dance. Therefore, the following data
that I give?believing that it will be
of interest to you?will not be abso-
lutely accurate.
There were 320 alumni to register
with the following classes: '12 (6),
'13 (2), '14 (4), '15 (10), '16 (4),
'17 (9), '18 (7), '19 (7), '21 (4),
'22 (2), '23 (2), '24 (4), '25 (10),
'26 (11), '27 (12), '28 (13), '29
(8), '30 (12), '31 (12), '32 (11),
'33 (8), '34 (5), '35 (7), '36 (11),
'37 (20), '38 (39), '39 (65). Fif-
teen registered giving no class affilia-
tion. Seventy-five of these were over-
night guests of the college.
Mrs. R. M. Robinson (Mary Stan-
ley), '12, of Skippers, Va returned
for her first visit since being grad-
uated.
Commencement 1940 is near at
hand. The intervening months will

CHESTERFIELD
PLEASURE TIME
Listen in
Five Nights a Weak
?9 N. B. C. Stations
When smokers turn to Chesterfield
they enjoy all the good qualities a ciga-
rette can give. Chesterfields are definitely
milder .Chesterfields are cooler-smoking
? ?. Chesterfields taste better.
These three good things and everything
about Chesterfields their size, shape
and the way they burn make them
the cigarettes that SATISFY.
