Writes Letter To Alumni

Dear Alumni,

As you already know we will not
be able to have a normal Alumni Day
because of O. D. T. regulations. Since
this is true I will not be able to see
a great many of you on that day,
therefore I want to take this oppor-
tunity to express to you my personal
appreciation for the work you have
done in your local chapters. I am
indeed proud of the fine reports that
have come from you.

I am also grateful for the splendid
work which has been done by our
capable secretary, Mrs. Garner. She
has handled the work ef the Asso-
ciation in such an entirely satisfac-
tory manner that it has had a highly
successful year. I hope that those of
you who do attend Alumni Day will
have the privilege of meeting her
and hearing a report of her work.

Augusta Woodward Marcom

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-

Now we can take that nice vacation that
has been our dream for so long. For be it

more than a few weeks for reconversion to

be the meaus of saving one soldier, sailor or
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 train. 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

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
auarter 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-
iy 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
Loys 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.

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 friend
the fulfillment of an ambition.
things are worth working for. It is the per-
son who is 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
Success lies
within a man; it is the feeling of knowing
youre 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 most 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,
picking violets on back campus.

Mr. Remembering
RC , it seems everything I did there was
a highlight. Walking on the campus, study-
ing for 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;
talkf with Miss Jenkins, visits in the
Y-Store, playing hearts in Ragsdale, talks
with Dr. Flanagan—all those things I re-
member with pleasure. But it’s 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 articl from working with
Coach Christenbury and Mr. Hankner.

Miss Deanie B. Haskett: The work
done in organizing the Teco ho stands out
in my memories. (She was its first editor-
in-chief . . . and also the first student to
take her master degree from ECTC).
Many, hours were spent in the staff room
writing news, editorials, mapping the paper,
correcting proofs, and getting it running
sinoothly.

A few days later, two of my dear “friends”

otfered to go ask Dr. Adams what our scores

W n they returned they said Dr.

A ns Was so surprised at my grade—that

I must have been sick with a cold that day.

My grade was 79, and 80 was a moron. Of

course, their ides were very good. Well,

for the next few hours, | went through pur-
vatory. 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 ge any further, how I had fooled my
classmates, how hard physics was for me,
ete. 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. Ii

Dr. Adams remembered me 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 Jr.-Sr. Ban-
qguet to decorate it like a sléek 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.
