As one looks back over the four years he or she has spent in college, he realizes that he has just passed through what are c nsidered the happiest days of one’s life. This is particularly true of the student who has been active in extra-curricular activities 1 who has tried to take advantage of all Almost invari- the opportunities provided. ly the person who lives a full life is the person who lives a good life. After having lived together and worked wether these short years, we have formed strong bonds of friendship. All good things must come to an end, however, and so it is with college. So it is farevell and good luck, Seniors, and let us hope that vou, in fact all of us, will go out and do everything possible to make s world a better place in which to Welcome To Alumni Next uur SUPE Saturday it will uin be our y host to the alumni of ECTC.

To start anew, in that past difficulties and individual differ- ences be forgotten, and to be concerned only with the immediate and sole objective of thi L Neve. For a col- ion smoothly is very easy, but trying and difficult situation arises, iceessful ¢ then the real test, of what kind of “stuff” the students, faculty and administration are made of, comes when an effort is being made to return to normal. This test includes whether everyone can pull together and work in harmony for the good of the college, re- gardless of individual feelings and separate personalities. Our harmony and coopera- tion are increasing, but they must do so more and more. It is plainly an untruth to say we cannot “put our house in order.” We have done it, and we will do it again. We have the possibilities, equipment, intellect and ability to make this the best teachers college not only in this state, not only in the South, but in the entire nation. Let the motto of each and every person connected with the college be “FORWARD.” * * * * - Saturday poppies will be sold on the campus, so don’t forget to buy a poppy.

In one short year it has proved its right to exist, and proved that students can and do govern themselves well and are capable of meeting problems and solving them. We might add that much credit is due to Dot Lewis, as its first full-year president, and it is this re- porter’s opinion that the Association’s ef- ficient work will continue under the very able guidance of “Manteo” Etheridge. Philosophy If a fellow tries to kiss a woman and gets away with it, he’s a man; If he tries and doesn’t get away with it, he’s a brute; If he doesn’t try to kiss her but would get away with it if he tried. he’s a coward; But if he doesn’t try to kiss her and wouldn’t get away with it if he did, he’s a wise man. —Bob Martin.

Norwood Jones is across the pond tungling with the natives of New Caledonia according to a recent letter. He says he is in fine health and thinks he is surrounded by pretty country, but “I’d much rather be back in the States. These islands aren’t like the ones you see in Dorothy Lamour’s pictures. I've been looking for one like that but haven’t been able to find it. The moon looks very romantical, but there’s nothing here to get romantical with.

He is taking a course in tele- phone repair, and is already assigned to a combat outfit and expects to see action soon after completion of his course. Incidentally action looks like good duty compared to the Ozarks. * * * * Lt. Colonel Robert A. (Bob) Eason is now on duty at Camp Howze, Texas. He received his degree in science and history here in 1935. Wt. Colonel Eason was a mem- ber of the Greenville National Guard and left town with that unit and went to Camp Jackson, S.

But that work in itself might be a division from the old grind of test, themes, reports, projects and the million and one other tasks which make school one big headache. The old-timey way of securing a deep, deep tan come summer, was to hot-foot it to the beach for a day, a week-end or a summer stay. Now if you want a deep tan by patriotic methods, you might try a summer session with Farmer Brown, or your own Dad, be you from the wide open spaces. All the fashion magazines show for Miss Farm- er-rette, knee-length jumper shorts in den- im—leaving shoulders an arms bare to the sun, good for a tan and also good for a blis- ter as any good farmer will tell you.
