He obtained one co- Weldon and it hatched he discovered it was supposedly a very rare specimen in this state. His specimen was a female moth so he put it in a kind of cage with a trap-like front to it and placed it out for the night. In the morning there were six male moths in the trap, so it was found that they were not so rare here as it had been supposed. It is not known how the male in- sects were able to discover the female. Another intersting method Mr. Lay has of getting moths and butterflies is by setting traps at night baited with fermented fruit juices. It seems that each juice attracts a different kind of in- sect and it is always interesting for him “to see what the night has brought.” Last summer he used rotten tomatoes to attract various kinds. Mr. Lay declared that the Teachers collegse museum had a good start.

Foster Barnes, de- lighted the. audience at East Carolina Teachers College last night with a program varied en- ough to include numbers to suit all tastes. The glee club sang three groups of songs. The guest artist, Lawrence Clarke Apgar, the university or- ganist and carilloneur, gave two groups of piano selections. John- ny Long, the other guest artist, although left-handed was by no means a freak artist but a real violinist. The soloists, John Cole and Allen Stanley, seemed to be great favorites and were called back time and again for encores. A trio and a quartet completed the program. Mr. Apgar, who is a musician of note, played with remarkable poetic imagination and excellent technique. He proved that he could use the piano as a medium for artistic expression as well as the organ and the carillions. John Cole's singing of “Sylvia” and other familiar songs brought the most vociferous applause from the college girls. The first group of songs sung by the glee club, composed of four classics, tested the musician- ship of the singers, and they showed by their singing their fine appreciation of the best music. The second group was the most popular. The favorite glee club number of the evening was per- haps “Joshua Fit de Battle ob Jericho.” The college songs at the close inspired all to a feeling of loyalty, no matter what the college. All of the singers seemed to enjoy the evening as much as the audience did. The accom- panist was Carlos Moseley.

His speech struck the keynote of the meeting. The group of superintendents, principals, s ors and teachers and college worked earnestly ery teachers, | through the solution of one prac- tical problem after the other dur - ing their two-day meeting, which sed at noon Saturday. The vote for the continuation of the conference was unanimous and the general feeling of those participating was that the meet- ing was exceedingly valuable and that much good would re- sult. President Wright said it has done more good than any one thing that has been in the col- lege for twenty years. A com- mittee of five from the schools was elected to work with a com- mittee from the college on the program for next year. The problems discussed at both the general meetings and the round table meetings were of vi- tal importance to both the pub- lie schools and institutions train- ing the teachers for these schools. They ranged from such techni- cal questions as tests and grading to the type of society of the fu- ture for which children should be trained for citizenship. The qualifications of the teacher and the ways in which these traits may be discovered early so that the poor teacher may be pre- vented from entering the class- room, was the one receiving the greatest emphasis. “Personality,” the word heard most frequently, and the analy- sis of it, with summaries of re- ports from various studies on the problem, was at the heart of most of the discussions. Every person on the program (Continued on page four) SPRING HOLIDAYS BEGIN TOMORROW East Carolina Teachers Col- lege will close Thursday, April 13, for spring holidays and will reopen again Wednesday, April 19. These holidays cut Spring quarter into two six-week terms. The college will be open for the admittance of new students at the beginning of this second half. It is expected that there will be quite a few to register, most of whom will probably be teachers whose schools will have closed for this year by that time. Following the Easter vacation students may enter college cour- se$ and take subjects leading to- ward degrees or raising of cer- tificates. 1 1-2 credits will be given on a regular 3 hour course, enabling teachers in the field to come in after their school year is over and take work which they can finish in a subsequent spring. The plan is newly adopted here but inquiries have been received and every indication is that the split session will be successful. ae ible eso “os PUTIN Page Two THE TECO ECHO —_—— nee ee : : ORAL ENGLISH AN} \y govern the student body; the president of the Y.

But taking the production as a whole we soon found out, “The FACULTY EGG HUNT “Oh, I've found one, I’ve found one!” As I was walking by the Campus in front of Ragsdale Hali I heard a lot of people talking, and I stopped to see what the commotion was all about—I look- ed hard, because I thought my eyes were deceiving me when I saw Parnell Picklesimer, Beecher Flanagan, Dora Coates, Lucille Charlton, Lucille Turner, Emma Hooper, Mamie Jenkins, Nannie Jeter, Leon Meadows, Ralph Deal, Alice Wilson, Ronald Slay, Lorraine Hunter with little bas- kets running around looking un- der pieces of stone, and every object in sight. I asked one of them, I believe it was Lorraine Hunter, what they were doing, and she said “The little Easter Bunny lail some eggs last night and we are trying to find them.” I asked her how many she had found and she told me four, but that Alice Wilson had found eight. She said, however, that she believed Alice went out early in the morning and found some, and told everyone she was trying to find violets or some other flow- ers. But I don’t know, maybe she did find that many. Just then one of the other lit- tle girls, Lorraine told me her name was Lucille Charlton, came running up crying as if her heart would break. I tried to comfort her the best I could, but it seem- | ed useless. Between sobs, I managed to find out that she was crying because she had been running to get one of the Easter eggs, and Ralph Deal had trip- ped her. I thought that this was no way for a little gentleman to act. I called Ralph to me, and asked what he meant. He start- ed sniffling too. Then he said that they both had started to the same place at the same time, and that he really hadn’t meant to do it. I had my doubts; but I told him to go back to hunting but not to do it anymore. My goodness, what was all that dust being raised about over at that tree. I rubbed my eyes, and saw Leon Meadows and Parnell Picklesimer fighting. 1 always do a good turn daily, so I went over to stop it. When I un- tangled them, I found out that they had been fighting over who had found the most eggs. I told them that I would count them and see which had the most. When they went off to get them for me, they found out that Beecher Flanagan and Ronald Slay had slipped over and swip- ed their eggs while they were gone. It was all I could do to keep the combined force of Leon and Parnell from going and fighting the other two boys. Finally, they said they would stop and see who had the most. When they did, they found that Nannie Jeter had the most. As a prize, she was given a chocolate cow—not very appropriate for the Easter season, I thought. US ee THINGS WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT THE D PLAYS! What Dan Wright's high-bred sensibilities were? If Alva knows how to make love now or will he always be Dickey Trent? If Bob would like to teach the girls to dance the Minuet every night at the Campus Building? Why Margaret Davis is so pretty in both colonial and mod- ern costume? If the male quartet is as mod- est as it seems, or do they like to “just pretend?” If Alvah Page likes to plant flowers, If he does he might try helping Mr. M. L. Wright. What happened behind Joy Pickard’s fan? Where did Margaret Strick- land get her pants? How does Dr. Slay manage to look at home in a tuxedo? How can Dr. Meadows sing without opening his mouth? Why did Jack’s whiskers gv one way and Dan’s the other? If Edith Morton has had ex- perience writing with a stump of a lead pencil. How does it feel to find out that the person who proposed to you also proposed to five other people? How do the coaches feel now that it is all over?

It is true that they have all fallen —fallen for the flower garden back of the building! And do they “court” it! Why every af- ternoon several of our instruc- tors can be seen out there em- bracing rose bushes and whis- pering little love songs of the nineteenth century between the pedals of some bashful meekish little yellow flower! Every afternoon this term that little plot of ground has resem- bled a strawberry field at har- vest time, for there are always about half a dozen of our “dig- nified instructors” out there bending, crawling, grubbing, or stretching around the roots of the inhabitants of that hallowed spot. One afternoon last week while on my way to the Training School I chanced to glance over that way and I saw two people (I thought them maids) sitting “Indian Fashion” facing each other. I quietly walked over to- ward them and = was shocked when I saw that the “maids” were Miss Turner and Miss Hooper sitting in the center of a circle of yellow flowers play- ing “bob-jack”! The next afternoon I was com- ing from the Training School and as I was walking along the side of the garden, I saw some wo- man standing up, yet scratching around a small plant. I could not see her face, and her white! cotton stockings and black shoes caused me to think her a colored woman, so I politely said, “Good evening auntie.’ When I said this the woman who had been “standing” stood up, and I came near fainting when Miss Jenkins looked at me and asked “Did you address me”? I was greatly surprised at all these things, and I must say, a little amused, but I thought I would die from laughing at what I saw going on in the flower garden yesterday after- noon! About a dozen of our teachers were in a circle playing some game. I stopped and heard Miss Williams’ gruff base voice above all the others. They were playing “Ring Around the Roses”. I stood on tip toe and inside the circle I saw Miss Charlton and Miss Newell with their heads slightly tilted and each had one of their little fin- gers in their mouth! Now Miss Jenkins tells her English 106 class that the only articles you may always re-" ly upon as being true are those of the Associated or United Press, and as I'm not writing for either of them you must take time out and decide as to wheth- er this is true or not! COLLEGE STORE OPENS The TECO ECHO is pleased to announce that G. L. Pleasant who successfully operated the College Drug Store as Denton’s College Store several years ago has purchased the store and says “He is going to operate a Store! that will command the respect of the eastern part of N. C., as well as the city and college!” Mr. Pleasant has completely remodeled the store and is in position to serve its patrons far better than ever before. The TECO ECHO wishes for Mr. Pleasant every success in his new business and does not hesitate to recommend Pleasants College Store to the girls and boys of E. C. T. C. and faculty for a clean, orderly and respect- ful store to visit. LANIER SOCIETY PROGRAM The Lanier Society had charge of the chapel programme Friday morning, March 31. Louise Sharp presided. Esther Pridgen gave two read- ings, “I Must Be Almost Beyond ' Endurance,” and “Disease.” The encore was “ "Possum Time Again.” Lizzie Lee Helms Sang “When It’s Darkness on the Delta” and “Sweet Moon Song.” MRS. FENBERG SINGS IN CHAPEL On Friday morning, April 7, Mrs. Ruth Fenberg sang several solos in the regular chapel period. Rosa Lee Lang, Chair- man of the Chapel Programme Committee, Presided. The num- bers Mrs. Fenberg sang were “Duna,” “Song of Songs”, and “Without a Song.” THE TECO ECHO BEAUTY OF OUR CAMPUS Everyone has been observing the changes made in the appear- ance of our campus recently. Even the students and teachers look more pleasant now that spring is here with its magic un- folding beauty on every side. Nothing is more beautiful than the flower bed in front of Aus- tin Hall. Instead of going through the building, students now go around the front to get a view of the various flowers blooming there every day. All of our beauty is not on front campus, however. Every court at the back of each dormi- tory is a scene of beauty. The white and purple iris are in full bloom at this time as well as tulips and shrubbery. The fresh green grass and new plants in front of the. dining room are al- so refreshing and beautiful. In observing our improved campus we cannot overlook the willows and shrubbery recently planted in the circle in front of the Campus Building. Nor the lake which is growing more lovely every day. Couples are often seen strolling lazily about on these sunny days enjoying the many beauties of nature, I sup- pose. Even our woods on back cam- pus draws our attention. The dog woods and other plants are trying to burst forth in all their beauty. Although Mr. Henderson tried to hide his flowers by planting them behind the dining room, he has not been the only one to en- joy them. Now just who, beside Mother Nature, is responsible for all this beauty and the many im- provements? Mr. M. L. Wright has certainly done his share as well as others and we want to extend to him and all others participating in the improve- ments our heartiest thanks and appreciation. Dr. Geo. Robertson Is Heard By Students (Continued from first page) the Civil War.” In_ his chapel talk, Dr. Robertson told some of his experiences as a child living near the battle lines. Dr. Robertson’s life has been an adventurous and interesting one. He entered the ministry while young and studied in Texas. Later he became inter-! ested in the Old World and the, Biblical lands, so he decided to} go there to make a first-hand| study of the country. In Egypt! he began to gather information | about the Three Great Pyramids, | one of the seven wonders of the! world. This work was intensely | interesting to him, and his re- search has been so great that his knowledge of these tombs of) rulers of ancient Egypt is minute and exact. In his travels, Dr. Robertson has gathered an ex- cellent collection of motion pic-| ture slides including views of the | Pyramids, and pictures of the, other wonders of the world. | These slides are used as illus- | trations for many of his lectures. | Among the possessions of this widely educated and interesting! gentleman are articles from all parts of the world, each with a history that makes it dear to him. Two which he prizes most are an unusual ring and a walk- ing cane with a carved ivory handle.

The Smart Shoppe community he lives, goes to ball games, it is the delight of his young friends to gather around him to hear his stories, which al- ways sparkle with wit and never fail to be interesting. Dr. Robertson’s works as au- thor include “The Only Nancy’ and “King John”, both of which are stories of the highest type with a slightly religious element as background stories that are especially good for young men and women. Dr. Geo. F. Robertson, author of “A Small Boy’s Recollections of the Civil War” gave an inter- esting talk on a few incidents connected with the Civil War. From his memory he drew the material upon which he based his book, with the exception of one chapter on General Morgan. His talk gave a clear, graphic picture of the days in the Civil War period. He Yanks, their coming, the “rebe the negroes, their emancipati and the pathos that comes in the path of war. it One outstanding incident he | recalled was connected with his mother and General Robert E Vance. Vance and his men were saved by the advice of his mo- ther that they leave town at once. He left and an hour later the town was flooded with Yanks. Dr. Robertson described the ludicrous, yet pathetic, spectacle of the freed slaves as they pass- ed along the roads. But to the| negro, he declared, the South owes much because among the defenseless women and childrea of the South the negro never broke his trust. CAMPUS IMPROVEMENTS Plans for the improvement of the College Campus are rapidly! becoming realities as the most barren and least promising spots are converted into charming andj beautiful places and as improve- ments for the students welfare and convenience are added. In the first group of improve- ments are two outstanding flow- er gardens which until recently were noi beauty snots. The section of the campus south of the Science Building has been converted from a low depression, ill kept, and dis- pleasing to the eye into a rock garden which will be one of the future prides of the campus. This section has been taken over b, members of the Science Depart- ment who have spent much time, thought, and effort in converting it into a lovely flower bowl. If present plans mature, a sun dial will be placed in the center of the plot. Bulbs have been planted which should furnish a supply for the campus. The campus south of Cotton Hall and north of the power plant has been improved by the removal of unsightly buildings from beside the roadway. Another flower garden which has attracted no small amount of attention is the one Mr. A. A Hendersort has planted in the section back of the new dining hall. A wide variation in choice of flowers, careful grouping and y”’ | planted. told of the} p have been set out. cherries are a gift of a former alumnae of this college, Miss Louie Dell Pittman, of Greens- boro, N.C.

Coburn’s Shoes, Inc. “Your Shoe Store” Three One-Act Plays Presented by “D” Class (Continued from first page) the effect produced was so good that many inquired how it was ever accomplished. “The Minuet”, the second of the plays, was directed by Prof. R. C. Deal. Miss Sara Somerville directed the dances. The play was given in a true colonial set- ting with striking colonial dress, and with the actors moving with the skill and dexterity of colo- nial dames and gentlemen. The use of the spotlight at the second showing added much to the play, giving the effect of glowing can- dles. Margaret Davis, playing the role of a colonial girl, was the beautiful heroine of the play who overcame her fascination for the dancing master skillfully in- terpreted by Louise Whitfield, and joined in the “Minuet” with the young patriot, Bob Eason. Ruth Lyon Mangum and Rachel Coppage were her charming par- ents and Louise Briley, her bro- ther. Others who danced the minuet were Beatrice Hooks, Lu- cille Henderson, Elsie Tilghman, Beatrice McCotter, Mabel Allen, Mary Lee Cockrell, and Eloise Hill. Charles Edwards, the only boy in the c Thelma Anderson, and Grace Baker were the sol- diers in the play. 3S, Coming as a climax to the love theme running through the other plays was the light modern com- edy coached by Miss Lucille Charlton. Modern dress and the modern tone added much to “In the Spring a Young Man’s Fan- ae Alva Van Nortwick, playing the role of Dickey Trent, a young American flirt, who “never grew up” and didn’t “always mean what he said” proposed to six girls and their chaperon, kissed a French maid, and received an acceptance from another girl in a fast-moving comedy. High spots in the play came when he asked six girls to “think it over and let me know”, and when they learned that “even the chaperon came in for a bid because he did not want to slight any of them.” The characters in this play were: Willa Mitchell Dickey, as the high and haughty chaperon, Melba Watson, Edith Morton, Louise Adams, Edith Dillard, and Margaret Rogers, as her five lit- tle J's; Lizzie Lee Nelms, as the French maid, and Alva in the title role. Music featured at varied inter- vals during the programs. Misses Gorrell and Mead played violin and piano solo selections before the plays began: Mrs. Ruth Fen- berg, sang a group of numbers between the first two plays; and the male quartet, composed of Messrs. McGinnis, Slay, Deal and Meadows sang between the last two plays. As parts of the plays Alvah Page and Alva Van Nort- wick sang. Miss Margaret Russell, who is president of the class, took per- haps the most active Part in making the plays successful. She undertook to do whatever others did not do and as a result in- sured the success of the plays. On each evening she appeared, bringing a few words of welcome and appreciation.
