She has always been interested in art. Even at the early age of six she showed an interest in art by design- ing and making Christmas cards as well as many other things. Her favorite pastimes are photo- graphy, golf and painting with water colors. What likes ever, is hiking. Miss Lane thorough- ly enjoys walking through the woods and observing nature, especially dur- ing the fall, when the forest is in one of its most beautiful stages. She thinks the trees on the college cam- pus are lovely and she admires the Spanish moss, which grows in pro- fusion on the trees. she most, how- Recently, Miss Lane, accompanied by some of her students, collected various types of berries, moss, ferns and other forms of wild plant-life in woods.

These surgical dressings volunteers have made an outstanding contribution to the war effort and their help cannot be eval- uated in terms of hours or dollars by and cents. The total requirements enormous, far beyond the available industrial facilities of this country and could not have been met except for the work of these volunteers whom we are sure take great pride in having had such an active part in this wartime activity.” The Pitt County chapter of the American Red Cross wishes to ex- press its appreciation to the East Carolina Teachers college students and teachers for their cooperation in doing this fine job. The War De- partment has stated that since the surgical dressing program is discon- tinued for some time to come, plans are being made now for another pro- gram in which the students can par- ticipate. Whatever this new plan may be, it is hoped that the students will be just as willing to help make it a suecess as they did the surgical dressing program ily recogm MISS JEAN McIVER LANE Music Recital Given In Wright Building ‘A second in the series of music re- citals was given in the Wright build- ing on Wednesday, November 15.

In these 19 years many changes have come about in the appearance of the paper and in the quality and style of writing.

Today the situation is ulmost reversed-—the paper is literary a mass of headlines and pictures with much less print.

At that time a promise was made to have the walls painted and other improvements made dur- ing the Christmas holidays—if the boys would take good care of the building during this quarter. The boys’ dormitory has been badly in need of repair for a long time. It seems that nothing has been done about it before because the boys apparentiy were not in- clined to take care of the property. For this reason the place was allowed to get in a very run-down condition, and living conditions dropped to a level definitely lower than should be found in a first-class college. However, when the dormitory is in such a bad state, there is little or no incentive for the boys to take care of things. In other words, if the college doesn’t provide good living quarters, the boys can’t be expected to take the best care of the facilities that are provided. ) According to Mr. Smiley, dean of men, the men students have done well in keeping things in good order this quarter. There have, however, been some instances in ch this attitude of good conduct has not -d. It would seem only reasonable to e that boys who are old enough to be college would be over that “destructive age’’ and would be eager to take care of the property of others. Let us hope that, any- way. wh Sympathy The students and faculty of East Caro- lina Teachers college wish to extend their deepest sympathy to Amos Clark, Jr., who lost his father this week.

Duncan, treasurer and busi- ness manager of the college, has requested the cooperation of the faculty and staff in the conservation of heat and electricity in the various buildings on the campus. The clder buildings require much more heat to make them comfortable than do the newer buildings and even ditferent locations in the building same require varying amounts of heat. For this reason, he pointed out, it is unavoidable that some of the bui! ings should receive more heat than nec sary. If a room or office should become overheated, it will be better to close the radiator valves than to open a ¥ indow—thus conserving the heat. : According to Mr. Dunean the electric bill for the college amounts to almost $1,000.00 a month and 's mounting steadily. It will help a great deal if everyone will co- operate by turning off any lights in the classrooms, offices or dormitory rooms when they are not being used.

You'll feel that you've really put a bit of yourself into each gift. And your friends and family will appreciate the personal interest you put in the selection and making of their gifts. Your room mate at school or your sister at home will love a stuffed, fat pig made in chintz, printed in roses. Fatty pig graces a bed or props up books on a shelf, with equal nonchalance, the love of a school girl’s life.
