There must be a general aim and purpose for pursuit in the publishing of a paper or else there can not be a desired progress. With this in mind definite policies have been set up as goals io work toward for this staff for the school year 1939-40. ssue the aim of the staff is and will be throughout school year, progressiveness. Forwardness and onwardness, not backwardness, and retardation, will be the motto of the publication. Look- ing back except to profit by others errors too often proves fatal and fatality is ruination. Therefore looking straight ahead toward higher things will be the aim of work undertaken. ‘An impartial editorial policy will be pursued. All problems of student interest will be analyzed carefully and discussed with unbiased opinion. The will of the student body will be heard through the columns, thus making this a paper for the students, by the students, and of the student. AU REVOIR | [At the close of the school year comes the difficult task of saying farewell to those with whom we have associated during the year. Our relation- ships with the student body have been pleasant, and we have enjoyed every moment spent in close associations. The Teco Eco staff wishes to each member of the student body, the faculty, and all other persons connected with the college, a very happy vacation. Next fall we hope to take up our work here again. Until then we bid you au revoir. ginning with this Cutter Rescues Fishing Party sides the faculty members were J. H. Waldrop, Howard Moye, Dr. W. I. Wooten, and G. J.

Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! 1935 Freshmen Are Graduating Laughs ring out, sighs are ut- tered, smiles flourish, and tears fall! Why? Commencement time is here in all its glory, fun, happiness and sadness. The work is over—four years of it, for those worthy seniors. My! My! What cute little fresh- rien those seniors used to be. And how they looked forward to the time when they would be ready to gradu- ate. And they’re glad now that that they’re going to be graduated— but, gee! There’s something about the finality of the thing that sorta “gets” you. You laugh your way through college, then you try to laugh your way out, and find that you have laughed until you’re cry- ing. Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! Don’t look now, you marshalls, but I think you are being followed—by a line of black caps and gowns, with seniors hiding beneath them. My! How impressive they look. It’s remark- able how much dignity some of them are able to muster for the occasion. Well, the moment is here, and as the dignified (?) seniors march across the stage, the prayer in every- one’s heart is—that they won’t fall down the steps. The end has come for another class which has seen four years of hard work—well, any- way, they have seen four years— on our dear old college campus. Some of them wouldn’t admit it, but it is a good guess that all of them wish they were coming back next fall. LETTERS... To The Editor (Eotror’s Nore: This Department is open to all students in school here. THE Teco Echo reserves the right to censor or reject all com- munications. Letters published herein express individual opinion, and do not represent the editorial policies of this newspaper.) Dear Seniors: It has been only a short time since you entered College as fresh- men; during that brief period many changes have taken place in your lives; you have studied many sub- jects under a great variety of teachers; from these teachers you have learned much that will be of value to you in life; also, you have engaged in numerous extra-curricula activities which have brought you pleasure along with the strength that always comes as a result of co- operative effort; the proceas of edu- cational and social adjustment has, at times been very difficult, but, in spite of hardships, you have suc- ceeded. And now you are getting ready to leave us—getti to leave your friends, the things and places you love, your Alma Mater. We regret to see you go, but we rejoice in the fact that you go stronger and better prepared to serve than when you came. Do not let will permit laudable ambition greatest be realized. May 24, 1939.

Spring makes a young man’s (or woman’s) fancy lightly turn to thoughts of love? An E.C.T.C. stu- dent’s fancy heavily turns to thoughts of source themes, units, and exams. Spring? Phooey! There are some escaped freaks on the campus? After all, boys will be boys, and boys will be initiated! Can they help it if they had to play captive while the initiators played Indians and scalped them? The members of the Phi Sigma Chapter of the Sigma Phi Alpha thought their shingles would be of wood ? Of course, they weren’t so dis- appointed when they were of paper as they figured that was as close as they could get! This column is 0.K.? Npbody!

Eight branches of the editorial staff were set up with an associate or special editor} directly responsible for covering the| news in one particular phase of | campus ac y. Each editor sub- divided his field among the reporters assigned to him. In the realm of entertainments, which includes lyeeum progranis, plays, and dances, Margaret Guy Overman has been in charge for the past year. Dorothy Hollar, editor for 1939- 40, was placed in charge of gath- ering information from the ad- ministrative officers of the college. The numerous activities of the various classes and clubs of the campus were covered by Ina Mae Pierce and her staff of reporters. The job of keeping up with faculty was given to Clyde Coppedge and her assistants. John David Bridgers, elongated Greenville lad, was assigned to the Feature Department where origi- nality and humor and not hard work was the order of the day. Working in first one field and then another, Lindsay Whichard was used as general utility writer for the staff. Much of Whichard’s work was of the unpleasant “re-write” nature which calls for making a clear, con- cise story out of a mass of jumbled facts. Jack Daniels was placed in com- plete charge of the sports page of the publication for the year. Although technically on the staff as Exchange Editor, Ray Pruette, past editor of the Teco Ecno, has contributed a column on national and world affairs which has attracted favorable comment. Miss Elizabeth Copeland, graduate student and Alumnae Secretary, has} served as editor for alumnae news during the past year. The task of making assignments, writing editorials, writing headlines, and general make-up of the paper has been carried out by Billy Daniels, editor-in-chief. ley, Daisy Belle Maultsby, Lessie May, Elizabeth Murray McArthur, Naioma Patra Moore, Thelma Wood Newsome, Rebecea Frances Nichol- son, Leona Maie Parsons, Ruth Naomi Pearce, Texie Gray Sowers, Emily Greene Taylor, Margaret Elizabeth Trexler, Julia Lapsley VanLandingham, Sue Allen War- ren, Margaret Sue Watkins, Mar- jorie Watson, Williams, Olma Evelyn Wilson.
