J. H. WALDROP SINGS The Armistice Day Program, which the American Legion Post 39 sponsor- ed, was held in the Campus Building of the East Carolina Teachers College on Wednesday, November 11, 1931, at 11:00 o0’clock. The Post marched be- tween the files of College girls and took their places at 10:45. At 11:00) o'clock taps were sounded, after which Reverend W. H. Covert conducted ‘the invocation. The audience stood and | sang “America”. In the absence of President Wright, Dr. Carl L. Adams was in charge of the program. Mrs. J. H.

C. T. C. talked to the women of Jarvis Memorial Church. | ’ Her topic for the afternoon was “Why War Must Be Abandoned.” Miss Rose first discussed the cost of war in dollars and cents as it strives at the present means of livelihood. She told how war disrupts business rela- tions for the marjority of the world’s people, so that if Russia did not drink tea, then India would suffer from the lack of tea buying and because India} did not buy cotten, Great Britain would suffer, and finally the depres- sion told on the cotten farmer in! North Carolina. | Speaking of the cost of war human suffering and in the poss: ties bound up in the lives of the young, men who were killed, Miss Rose saidj| it was impossible to estimate total cost. In discussing the cost cf war, Miss Rose brought out the great loss of scientific advancement, since the great scientists must be engaged in discussing means of destroying na- tions instead of building them up. The lecture was concluded by point- ing a picture of the future wars, which will be battles of air and gases. In- visible airplanes, controlled by radio, and capable of carrying enough poison gas to destroy a whole county, are practically perfected. The great- est change in future warfare will be the shift from the front line trenches to the centers of population and the choicest farm lands. Student Union Meets In Durham E. C. T. C.

Y.W.C.A Junior Cabinet Installed One of the greatest difficulties that most college students face, at one time or another, is the infericr- ity complex; this is probably due to the fact that the students’ errors way that the average individual does not have his errors brought to him. Teachers, students, tests, quizzes, themes, notebooks, and examinations all seem to take a special delight in revealing to the gets an inferiority complex! But such a complex hinders a student from doing his best work, hence should be avoided when possible. A leading psychologist has given this advice about inferority com. plexes: “Never mind what has been. Remember that every morn- ing begins a new day— a day for fresh endeavor, a day that may and should be filled with hope and glad- ness. Do not add to your blunders by condemning yourself too harshly for your errors and shortcomings. .|| Better folks than you have made worse mistakes and bigger failures.

The services were con- ducted by Cullie Stafford, the presi- dent of the Y. W. C. A., who had read the installation service; assisted by Ethel Parker, vice-president, who presented each member of the cabinet. Every member of the cabinet received her light from the light of the Y. W. C. A. which was represented by the president, and then passed on to give her light to one of her class mates. The Junior Cabinet is composed of twenty-five girls selected from the Feshmen and Junior Normal classes, and acts as an assistant to the Y. W. “¢C. A. cabinet.

The National Student Federation of America is the only national student organization which is entirely free from politics and religion. The mem- berships in the Federation are increas- ing rapidly every year. Last year Millie Moore represented this college as an observer delegate; but this year Teachers College is a member of the Federation and her delegate will have some voice in the Congress. This meeting will give the delegates !in attendance an opportunity to ob- tain information on student travel, and international debating in addition to furnishing the principle opportunity to solve the perplexing problems of student government administration. paeaeeee hay FACULTY MEMBER SPEAKS AT THE WOMANS CLUB Miss Turner Talks On Poetry Before The Christian Era o7 27, On Tuesday afternoon, October Mrs. S.

Dr. Gasque is from the Church of Incarnation at Atlanta, Georgia. but at the present is a guest of Mr. Lillycrop, at his church here in Greenville. In his talk Sunday evening, Dr. Gasque discussed the things which should be utmost in our minds as we look into the future. One of the first things we must possess is personal ‘health; if we don’t have good health | we will find it a handicap all through life. Another thing which we should remember is the social side of life. Let usbe one who is always smiling, happy and friendly! If we aren’t we who can naturally make friends, let us develope ourselves—try until you succeed. Not only do we need good health and social life, but we need to learn to control our tongue and extend our patience. It will take a strong character to do these things,. but we must be firm and work for them, if we are to make those about us our friends, and cause others to want to be like us. We must have character and per- sonality in order to succeed. These are aids which will help us in our struggle and one of the most outstand- ing aids in the church. We need the church to have a_ character; it will help us in many things, too. pee eee eS Since the earth is one of the small- est of the heavenly bodies, and since Mr. Frank is only one of the billions of people on this earth, he says that he thinks God might well express him with a minus sign! a . i \ The Teco Echo Published BiMonthly During The Col- lege Year by The Student Govern- ment Association of East Caro- lina Teachers College.

The Don Cossack Russian Male Chorus is to be the first big attraction in a series of en- tertainments to be here this school year. They will give a concert in the Social Religious Building on Tuesday evening, November 17, at 8:30 o’clock. The Singing Horsemen of the Steppes, a name by which they are well known is at the present time considered Europe’s “greatest and most sensational drawing card.” This college is exceedingly fortunate in being able to get them for one of the one hundred concerts that they will give in various cities of the United States. The singers will appear in military uniform. Their program will appear in three parts: Russian Choir Music, Russian Folk Songs, and Russian Soldier Songs. Au- diences in other places have been thrilled by this beautiful music, as will the people of Eastern Carolina if they only hear it. This concert will be one of the greatest ever sponsored by the college, and it is important that every student help to give pub- licity to this attraction so that the auditorium will be filled. When your friends and parents come to see you Sunday, urge them to come to the concert Tuesday evening. Tell them all you know of the Cossacks, and remind them to bring their friends. The success of other enter- tainments depends upon thé suc- cess of Don Cossacks. The suc- cess of Don Cossacks depends upon the students of this col- lege! They already have) SELF HELP STUDENTS. In recent years there has been a new student movement on in the colleges of Europe. That long established institution in America of working one’s way through college is just now be- coming popular in European ecuntries. Just before the World War it was a thing unheard of there. The very existence of University life was threatened before necessity opened their eyes to a way out. s Once interested, however, they did not adopt the ship shod, unorganized system of America in which it depends upon each individual student to appeal to the sympathy of some individual who can assist him in getting work or a scholarship, but they banded themselves together in great student organizations and raised scholarships, loan funds, and built domitories and kitch- ens, and cared for those who were sick on a basis of national enterprises. Many of the Euro- pean countries have found that it is not only a successful institu- tion but a very essential one. In America a well organized system has not been adopted. Each individual is responsible for getting himself through col- lege. Yet, there has been since the beginning of education in America students who went through college either by work- ing, loans, or scholarships. At the present time there are prob- ably more than ever before. A recent study made by James G. Umstattd, assistant professor of education at the University of Minnesota, shows that more than half the students there either earn all or part of their expenses. Dr. Umstattd found during his study “a law student cutting hair in a campus barber shop”, “a minor looking after a paper route,” an engineer em- ployed as a soda jerker,” and “a; ‘Home Ec.’ girl as a _ switch} board operator”. These same} students, he discovered have as good grades, and take just as ac- tive parts in campus activities. What is true in the University of Minnesota is also true of practically all the colleges and Universities of America. Here, at Teachers College, students preparing to be school teachers work inthe dining hall, the} stationery room, book room, “Y”’ store, cash room, postoffice, lib- rary, and the Alumnae Gift Shop. There are practically seventy-five students working in these places and a large number of others who are getting loan funds or scholarships. Getting these jobs hereis like it is in other American colleges. The “early bird gets the worm”. Students here, like those in the University of Minnesota, have just as high scholarship records and take just as much interests in outside activities as others do. A large number of the class presidents, Y. W. C. A. presidents, editors of the Teco Echo and Tecoan as well as many minor offices have come from this group of students who work their way through school. This host of students through out Europe and America should be a challenge to those people who think that college is not worth while, and to those who think the youth of today have everything handed to them on a silver platter. The working col- lege students are victims of that philosophy expressed by Rabbi Newman when he said, “There is self defeat in our modern ex- periences. The more we desire the more we require. The more we demand to whet our appetites the more jaded our palate be- comes. Ps ee ULTIMATUM.

You can take part in outside ac- tivities. make them lively and active if you care to. Yeu can make this college just what you want it to be. That old saying, “It all depends on you,” still holds true fer you can pro- mote the college . spirit here on the eampus to such an exient until every- one will love E. C. T. C., will enjoy living here, an dwill always want to come back. Students, have you ever stopped to think what constitutes college spirit on our campus? Have you ever won- dered what it is that makes a place | full of life, pep and enticement? If you have not, stop wondering and con- ceive of the fact that it all comes back to college spirit, which a college must have or it’s life will go “Bum!” Sure, we have some college spirit | here on our campus, but we think| there could be much more. In fact, we know there could for we have good proof. Just yesterday, we saw stu- dents, solemn faced with a homesick expression pondering over their as- signments while a few careless tears splashed upon their books. You hear every once in a while, “I’m not going to that old society meeting, they don’t do anything!” or ‘I’m not going to} join the athletic associatien” or ‘I’ve never seen such a bum place, it’s sim- ply dead, ‘I’ never advise anyone to come here.” Students, I wish you would analyze these statements. Why are they said and who say’s them? What, did you say upper smen? Well, | you did, but they are the very ones above all others, who should be boost- ing their college for all they’re worth Yes, it depends upon upperclassmen upon freshmen and upon the faculty to make this a college full of pep and} life, a college with plenty of college spirit. You can’t expect a few to make the society and associations active and full of life. No, the officers are too de- pendent upon your co-operation. They are merely guides and without every- one to guide, without your interest and co-operation, their hands are tied. Each of you must therefore be willing to gladly help when called on, you you. must take an interest in your activity, attend its meetings and boost and boost it to the utmost. Just | remember, “It all depends on you” and | when you do the college spirit will be- | gin to grow. You will see a change on the faces of many, and through your co-operation an dhelp and boost- ing, E. C. T. C. wil be come the most enjoyable place to live in the whole wide world. pe AES ee ee KEEP THE CAMPUS. Have ycu ever thought about how Campus_ looks to visitors? In fact, have you ever thought much the ap-| pearance of the grounds and clas rooms anyway? Across our Campus in many places we have worn smooth paths. On thé walls in the class- rooms are numerous exhibitions of our penmanship and artistic ability. Into inperceptible crevices and compart- ments are crammed pieces of paper. These things are not at all pleasing to anyone, particularly to visitors. It is not very pleasant to walk around the Campus and see these conditions existing. A path across a plot mars the beauty cf the entire thing. Scrib- bling on the wall of a classroom is very unsightly. Paper crammed into desks, beside being untidy, means extra work for some one. Such ecnditions come into existence through carelesness and thoughtless- ness. Scme of us just don’t care; others of us seem not to be conscious of doing anything wrong. Everyone, students included, comments on these situations. It would be well for us to think about these things when in the future we catch ourselves com- mitting these acts. During the past year there have been some wonderful improvements on our Campus and we should do our part in keeping it up. 8S et ge ae WHAT ARE REPORTERS? Everyone is wondering what Teco Echo reporters are supposed to do, Classes and societies who elect them seem to think that their pjctures will be in the paper, instead of the writing | A they are supposed to do. When class elections are being held, it seems as if students do not realize the importance of having a real re- porter, and not an attractive figure- head. Reporters should work if they wish | A: to hold their offices. Won’t you try to remember this when electing your reporters? 1H ESSIE TESSIE Fessie sa Thanksgiving may be the time that turkeys groan for fear of being eaten, but its also a time most people groan from having eaten too much turkey. Freshmen still shows his color by asking what the tomato juice in the little white pitchers at the dining- room is. I wonder why Freshmen seldom cut chapel, it is they still haven’t worn off the old high school influence? CARELESSNESS? t Girls, what are we going to do about cutting across the campus be- Austin building and Jarvis 1? The grounds are showing bad- ly the carelessness and indifference of the students and we must do some- something. In a few years we hope to be teachers, and as such we will be largely responsible for the school d. If we ourselves are careless nd indifferent, how are we going to make our students not be. I believe that the reason that we cut campus is that we don’t realize the effect it has on us and on our yard. lf we cut corners here, it is a pretty good sign that we did not make pre- parations in our rooms quite as early as we might and that we just don’t eare. Is this a fact? Don’t we care if others see where we have worn the grass completely away? Let us each avoid walking on this patch and thus co-operate with the authorities in making this a more beautiful campus. tween eee USES > VS WHAT IS THE TROUBLE? Is there a cleptomanic here, or several of them, or why is there so much missing? Many of the girls have reported lost articles and queer experiences in the dormitories. There must be some cause for this or these reports would not come in so frequent- ly; or is it gossip? This is a serious jquestion and the good name of our school depends largely on what we can find out about the matter. Have you gone toa friend’s room, and thinking she was asleep, left without saying anything; cr have you tried playing a practical joke cn someone and gone to their room; or have you borrowed from a friend some article that doubtless she would not mind your having, and yet left the impres- sion that it was stolen? Girls, if you have, go back and explain your act and let’s see if we can’t have fewer cases of fright. If you have valuable articles in your room, put them under lock and key, and it may be a good idea to keep the fact that you have any large amount of money a secret. It is vital that we do put a stop to the disap- pearance of things. sesh Se eae AS THE DAISIES NOD AT ME.

A spirit of sincere friendli- will aid the student in his re- ng college days as well as in his profession. “There are a few Co-eds who seem to think that they are bet- ter than the others; anyway, they do not speak to the others. Whether they deliberately refuse to speak or have more important things on their This is written it may help to friendly spirit mind is not known. witha hope that stimulate a more among the Co-eds. epee BLANKETY-BLA BLANK! Every once in a while there comes 2 need for more material to fill up the Co-ed Column; so while thinking on what to write the idea suddenly ap- peared in my head, as it probably has already appeared in all students head to write or try to write some poetry. It must be said in fairness to all Co- eds that it is not written about any particular person. Here it is! “Unknown Co-ed” I know a Co-ed who is very lazy; He goes witha girl who must be cr. > He goes to college about twice a week; The other four days he plays hide and seek. He thinks he’s as love Many of the Co-eds are giving the girls pain in their toes as well as in heads by going to the Campus Build- ing and dancing with the girls. It must ibe said in the girls’ favor that they are kind enough to endure it and very patiently help and encourage the Co-eds to learn the art of dancing. One very noticeable fact is that the girls do the “breaking” instead of the boys. ACTIVITIES OF CO-EDS. It is hoped ‘that more Co-eds will participate in extra-curricula activi- ties. Recently, C. O. Armstrong was elected an officer in the Freshmen Class. Co-eds can hold important positions well, but of course we realize that the girls should hold the major offices because of their superiority in numbers. It would not be democratic in spirit for the Co-eds to rule. It is hoped for the future Co-cds that they will be allowed a representative in the Student Government Association. pole ts 3 BASKET-BALL NEWS. It is possible that the gossip, which has been going around on the campus. is true. Dear Ole’ E. C. T. C. will have a basketball team this year. At least we are hoping so. The equip- ment for the court which is to be in- stalled in the auditorium of the Cam- pus Building is already on its way and will be put in immediately upon its arrival. : I think I will be speaking in behalf of all the Co-eds when expressing a deep appreciation for the enthusiastic co-operation which Dr. Adams, and our advisor, Dr. ReBarker, have lent us in starting basket ball off in the right way. enn eA CO-ED MEETING. The “Co-eds” held an important business meeting on Thursday at noon; the purpose of which was to get everything in line for the basket- 1 Season. President Hunsucker presided. Eric Tucker read a report which showed that several members of the faculty have contributed sums of money to help pay for the basket- ball goals and the balls. A committee was appointed to interview the dif- ferent business men of Greenville to see if they are will to pay for a bas- ketball suit, and in turn have their firm’s name printed on it. The Club next elected Ivey Wood as assistant business manager to make out a schedule for the Basketball team for the coming season. The President next appointed a committee, composed of Clyde Brown, Billy Nes- bit, and George Wilkerson, to draw up a constitution for the Co-ed Club.

PRIMARY CRITIC TEACHERS ENTERTAINED AT BREAKFAST On Sunday morning, November 1, at eight o’clock the primary practice teachers their critic teachers, Misses Redwine, Faison, Rhoades, Johnson, McGee, and Savage, at a breakfast in the “Y” hut. The hut was attractively arranged with autumn leaves and flowers; th tables were placed in a_ rectangular shape before the fireplace that added much to the appearance. The menu consisted of grape fruit, cornflakes, toast, stewed apples, sausage, and coffee. Those present were; Misses Nulton, primary supervisor, Redwine, Rhoades, Johnson, and McGee. pubaniaciel ee HOME ECONOMICS CLUB ENTERTAIN FRESHMEN. The Home Economics Club delight- fully entertained the Freshmen Tues- day, November 3, from 6:30 to 7:30 with a pajama party, in the “Y” hut. The guests were requested to wear print pajamas, an dafter all had as. sembled a pajama parade was held, with Hilda Thompson sporting the swankiest and most attractive one. Frankie O’Brien played the part of a Gypsy fortune teller to perfection, and all the Turks had their spirits soaring with thoughts of dark haired “Prince Charmings” and | “Blonde heartbreakers.” Fortunte telling proved to be the hit of the evening. Dancing was also enjoyed with the radio and piano furnishing the music. After a “feast” of hot dogs, apples and coco-colas, the girls found to thei sorrow, that 7:30 had arrived and that meant back to the dormitory to study, mostly about those thrilling words of the fortune teller, and to wonder if they really would come true. You can never tell? SS SCRIBBLERS GO ON OYSTER ROAST Miss Greene, Cassidy, and Mr. Mrs. M. L: Wright Attend. The Scribblers club on Thursday afternoon November 5, 1931, enjoyed a picnic at Red Bank. While the fire was being kindled, most of the Scribblers took a stroll through the woods and visited the tomb of a pirate, who used to operate along the river near which he was buried. It is said that the tomb is about 150 years old. While oysters were roasting every one roasted: weiners. Then what a feast there was—you mgiht even be surprised to know how much some of the faculty members can eat! and our girlsfi as well as our coeds, can drink and ginger ales taken were drunk. Afterwards a large bonfire was made, around which the group was seated as they sang songs of all ages, the last being “Good-night Ladies”. You should see Henry Oglesby direct a song in that, he is very adept. oes ge SERIES OF TALKS ON PAUL. During the past two weeks our chapel discussion has been devoted largely to the journeys and teachings of Paul. President Wright has touch- ed on the high spots and has held the interest of the student body by the continuity of the subject more than the reading of various topics would have done. Soe SCRIBBLERS HOLD REUGLAR MEETING. On. Wednesday evening, November 4, 1931, the Scribblers Club held its regular meeting in room 212, which hag been given to the Teco Echo staff and reporters as their work room. The mistakes and how to remedy em—in the last issue of the Teco cho were studied. delightful entertained fer) :+ too, at least most of the Coca Colas}. REFLECTIONS, “O wad some Power the giftie gie us To see cursels as ithers see us!” No dobut if some of us could see our own reflections in Life’s Mirror we would be pleased, disappointed, satis- fied, and dissatisfied by turns. Burns gives us something to think about in th lines in his poem, “To a Louse,” written on seeing one on a_ lady’s bonnet at church. This is one of the most famous of his writings, probably because it can be applied to each man, no matter what his station in life is. Robert Burns the comely | with the homely, the unusual with the commonplace simple with the ving a very attractive result, making us love his work, and causing us to read more of it. Remember his lines and judge your- self by them; feel that you are in the lother fellow’s place and look at your- self. combines 0. FRIENDSHIP. A pew thought has come to me, and in case you have not found it, I want it on to you. It gives to me a new meaning to the saying, “It is ed it give than to receive.” 3 ng on the campus suddenly wondered, , friends as much as I expect to receive?” I should give re, { Ll exp more. ble i to keep to her- intimacies between us. | They z for her alone, and would | per! » ‘e misundersteod by some- lee . “But—do I s keep in | trust what she tells me?

As I sit here meditating I think of a little lad, Who lived his life for others, Who gave all that he had. The very humblest service that He did for any man, He taught them by example, And he’d always understand. He knew their every weakness Just as he knows them now Yet he was so forgiving He loved men anyhow. This same love Galilean Will stand by us today We find him when in service On life’s long dusty highway. Yes, Christ will understand us Let’s serve him to the end He will ever keep us, And be our friend of friends. see OE iy oe Se LET’S MAKE BELIEVE— That E. C. T.

Henry is one of the most popular members of the senior class, and everybody hopes he will soon be able to resume his studies. oS HOME ECONOMICS CLUB MEETS. The Delta Omicrom Sigma, a club composed of Home Economics Majors, held its first regular meeting Tues- day night, October 20th, 1931. This being the first meeting of the year only business matters were taken up and discussed. One of the most interesting projects planned for the coming year is the decorating and finishing of the club room, which was started last year. The club members hope to make it one of the most attractjve club rooms on the campus. Plans were also made for the re- ception of new members during the next fall and winter terms. “CHARLIE” TILLMAN SINGS The chapel program on November 7th was very unique. Having dis- pensed with the regular order, Dr. L. R. Meadows introduced Mr. Charles Tillman to the student body. After speaking a few words about smiling and its values in everyday life, Mr. Tillman delightfully render- ed “Smiles Along The Way”. Before singing “Love Lifted Me”, facts were given about the number of muscles re- quired to smile as compared with the number employed in frowning—five times as many are required in the lat- ter. As a final number, Mr. Tillman sang “Ten Little Naughty Birds”. Mr. Tillman’s work for many years has been the promotion of singing, and he has bee: very successful in this. He has a very valuable book on the market, containing responsive readings, national and patriotic songs, negro spirituals, sentimental songs, and standard church songs. —_\__o—__——- CAPTAIN ESTERBROOK IS HEARD AT VESPER. Captain Esterbrook of the Episcopal church made a very interesting talk Friday night at Vesper Services. He spoke of the things which the young people need to-day. “Why was the Spanish Armada Defeated?” he ques- tioned. It lacked three ships—sea- manship, leadership, and markman- ship. What we need most to-day is seamanship—we begin. We must see certain principles through. First, we have to know the hoat, its weaknesses and its strength—we have to have courage to face outside forces; and then, we must have the desire to take that ship into port im order to find success. There was never a time when people were so uncerain in their desire, their aims, their achievements. Let us plant our faith in God—let us be more steadfast, more firm in our thoughts and our activities.

Miss Lucy Nulton Speaks Before Large Audience. Miss Nulton, supervisor of the Pri- mary department of the Training School, recently made a speech in Nashville, Tennessee. She spoke on “Some Values of Activity Work for Children and Teachers”. Her subject was one of vital interest, and due to her trajning and experience in that special \line, her message was well presentefi and very effective. ONE MAN’S VIEW OF THINGS. By Charles W. Lawrence. In a letter to the alumni magazine of her alma mater, protesting a new rule allowing women to smoke at that college, an alumnae of the school says: “T am very sure many of the Alumni of-——College are dismayed at some of the recent changes at. —.” I have no doubt the good lady is right. Many alumni of that particu- lar college are dismayed that the in- stitution has so raised its standard of scholarship that it no longer domin- ates its particular football conference as it once did. Many are dismayed that she no longer threatens fire and brimestone to those who refuse to ac- cept the tennets of Puritan theology. Many are dismayed that young men and women at that college now are al- lowed to live the normal social life which they will have to live after graduation. College alumni, I am ashamed to admit, are notoriously lacking as a group in any conception of what is the purpose of a college. We are not to be blamed, perhaps, because in- spiration for things intellectual is sadly absent once we are cut off from the halls of learning. However, I believe there are a few cru 1, rgardless of the degree from such things, that ible purpose of a college to train young minds ty search cut truth in hidden corners and bLiing it to light as best they can, foth for their own welfare and for that of their fellow beings. And for) the life of me I cannot see how this purpose is accomplished by a college! which occupies itself with the routine of a home for the protection of Peak | characters Our lady graduate, in her letter, | suggests that because her alma mater | now allows its co-eds the privilege of | deciding for themselves a matter of conduct which they will have to decide on or after the day of graduation any- way, the college is “drifting with the| tide and losing her high heritage.” I see no indication that that partic- ular college is thus smugly drifting. t is one of the fortunate high-minded colleges which allow individuals of all creeds and all economic and political theories to stand on their platforms | and express convictions openly andj honestly. It is one of the few col- | leges where scholastic attainment is placed above the dubious or passing fame of the gridiron. It is one of the happy colleges which has an. adminis- tration actively intent on stimulating the students to tackle in their own way some of the world’s more perplex- ing problems, ethical, political and} economic. If this is drifting with the tide, then praise Allah that the tide at last is heading in the right direction, and our colleges are finally lifting themselves from the class of protective finishing schools for gentle young men and women to the plane of intellectual en- deavor which finds it far more im- portant that students should have minds—and souls-—of their own. If I have any protest to offer (and I would be an unloyal member of the hardboiled, trouble-making Class of ’27 which stirred things up at my col- lege, if I did not register a kick) it is that colleges of-this splendid type are not making greater efforts to pass on some of this new spirit to their alum- ni, many of whom are famished for a taste of intellectual food, wallowing as most of us are in a nickle-harvest- ing, book-of-the-month-club sty. who of our rem ihe oniy po of liberal arts -O- I DON’T KNOW. By Betty L. Smith When you're tired and cross and dirty, When your head is hurting so, And a little voice keeps saying “Honest, Teacher, I don’t know!” When your patience is exhausted With the little minds so slow, With a voice always saying That same “Teacher, I don’t know!” Just remember, weary teacher, That not many years ago You yourself have looked up troubled, With a “Teacher, I don’t know!” apc RECIPE TO PRESERVE CHILDREN Take one large grassy field, One-half dozen children; Two or three small dogs; A pinch of brook and some pebbles; Mix the children and dogs well to- gether And put them in a field, stirring con- stantly; Pour the brook over the pebbles; Sprinkle the field with flowers; Spread over all a deep blue sky And bake in the hot sun. When brown, remove and set away to cocl—in a bath-tub. —Selected.

SR rite BEAUTIES OF LIFE. By Melba Louise Watson Some people never stop to consider, As they travel this highway of life— The things Mother Nature has put here, To help beautify our earthly strife. The bright-tinted skies above their head, To them means nothing at all. They do not find beauty in wide, open fields, Nor song, in the wild-bird’s call. The flowers and trees, the valleys and hills, The rivers that go rushing by; And then for the night, God created the stars, To twinkle and shine from on high. Are you guilty of going through life as if blind? If you are, why not open your eyes To the things God and Nature have put here on earth To help beautify our daily life?

This reminds us of an incident which clearly proves that we live at such a pace we have no time to think. In one of the classes last week an as- signment was made in a certain book. That night a majority of this class rushed to the Library to get the book. Each searched diligently; it was not to be found. Finally Miss Gray found one tucked far back in a corner. All af the students crowded around it to get a glimpse of the printed page. Sunddenly one bright member of the group looked at the back of the book, and with exclama- tions of horror proclaimed the book to be the text of which all hada copy. Now, prepare for a shock. This was not a class of Freshmen; it was a class of Seniors. Mr. Henderson was unable to read the newspaper Sunday. He honestly declared that he saw four objects where she should have seen one. After all everyone in school is not in favor of light wines and beers, and Sunday is a holiday to use as one sees fit. In the one eighth period class on the campus it is impossible for the stu- dents to remain wide-eyed and eager to learn throughout the hour. In fact, several have been known to take a series of naps—to say nothing of the day dreams. For this class let us recommend such instruments of tor- ture as were during the Sir Roger de Coverley days to wake the sleeping in church. On Monday nights guilty conscience show themselves. Last Monday night, for instance, a Practice Teacher on one hall went into another girl’s room. She was not at home, but the Practice Teacher told her roonimate that she would be back later. When she returned the girl was in her room and was dressing rapidly. She breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that the Practice Teacher only wanted a book. Have you guessed it? She was ex- pecting a council's members’s visit. A history practice teacher openly declared her-class dumb and listless. Even the opening of windows and} doors which let in the cool winter | breezes did not give them pep, vim and vigor. Maybe she should try grape- nut. Girls have said they had rather have a tooth pulled than a_ picture made. Is it the fact that both are un- pleasantness ? The new Emersons were very, very sick after initiation. 0- THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY. “Mid Pleasures and palaces .. . There’s no place like home.” s Girls who have no idea where their next Math assignment is never fail to know the days, the hours, and the minutes before the Thanksgiving holiday begins. “How,” asked a home- sick Freshman, “can one forget? I have had the time counted to the exact hour since the week-end I went home”. Parents have already been told the correct hour to present themselves. Not one minute later than 12:30 P. M., Wednesday had they better appear. Cars will be leaving the campus not later than 12:35 P. M. In many instances bags are packed and waiting. The only thing that’s lacking is the necessary date. Each day passes as slowly as a week. Why doesn’t old “Father Time” move up his clock at least a week? The old town will wake up when the younger generation gets there. What fun we're going to have? What turkey we’re going to eat! Many of us won’t even know what holiday we're celebrating when we get home. There’s nothing like a change of seene for the “tired, nervous, over- worked” college student. It’s re- markable how the thought of a few days at home will put new energy in- to one. One can study and learn bet- ter and even eat more—as if that were possible. These is nothing like college life, but even college life gets monotonous after a while. So, girls, finish packing your bags and begin bidding your friends fare- well. Thanksgiving holiday will soon be here. ———-0 Mr. Deal has been encouraging his failing French and Latin students by reminding them that the mighty oak was once a nut, also. W SCIENCE CLUB O!
