Purpose of Alumni Issue The purpose of the Alumni Issue of the Teco Ecno this year is tri-fold. First of all, the issue is published to bring to the alumni information concerning fhe alumnae and alumni of the college and to feature activities of the eleven chapters of the association. Secondly, it gives them information concerning preparations for \lumni Day, this year’s honor classes, and the commencement Thirdly it gives the alumni an insight into the regular highlights of student life and activity on the campus of their alma mater. program \pproximately 1,500 copies of this special issue have been dis- tributed to the alumni throughout the state. Special emphasis has been placed on the observance of the twenty-eighth anniversary of the organization of the Alumni Association to be celebrated on Saturday, June 1. Efforts are being made to offer a program which will be enjoyed by all those who return to this campus for the day. Bast Carolina ‘Teachers College extends a cordial welcome to all those who graduated from the college in years past. you to co She urges e back to renew acquaintances with former classmates y and to be a part of the college once more. Come back. We want to see you. and facult United We Stand; Divided We Fall Installation is over. Our campus leaders for next year have taken office. To them the student body should drink a toast and pledge their whole hearted swpport and cooperation. Their success for the year hinges on these two words. Small though these words may seem, they are the keys to success in student government. And this is all that the new officers have called upon the students to give. It is a service that the student body can render without much effort if they will only try. Foremost in the minds of the students should be kept the thought that even if these leaders aren’t their winning candidates, yet they were the choice of the student body. Whether or not they carried your support in the recent elections it is your duty to your school to give these girls your support and a fair chance to prove that they are capable in assuming their responsibilities. Don’t push them off on the wrong foot. Give them an even break just as you would desire if you were taking office for the first time. Only with support and cooperation can these girls fulfill the duties of their offices and do the things that you have been wanting done. They are the ones who pull the strings and it is up to us to back them up, because “united we stand; divided we fall.” A Pat on the Back The work of the outgoing Women’s Student Government Asso- ciation council is to be complimented this year for the numerous services rendered to the student body. Their’s is a job of which they may well be proud. Of their many accomplishments, perhaps the most outstanding one is the revision of the custom of observing a May Day festival on the campus. It has been through their efforts that this has been made possible once more this year. They have undertaken the responsibility of serving as sponsors of the gala affair and in seeing that it goes off as the May Day celebration of any college should. Another of their accomplishments has been that of furthering interests in the college by sending delegates to conventions through- out the state. These meetings not only have given the delegates an opportunity to ask questions about their problems and to ex- change ideas with others who are in the same key positions in other schools, but they have served as excellent advertisement for the college. By so doing our college is becoming better known among the other leading colleges and universities in the state and in the South. Also this year the student government association has been suc- cessful in getting the whole student body to back them in their policies. The students have cooperated well and as a result they have profited from capable leadership made possible by whole- hearted support. To Juanita and the outgoing council, the Teco Ecxo on behalf of the student body takes this opportunity to express the opinion that their’s has been a job well done and one of which to be exceed- ing proud. Six Years Ago Six years ago on April 25, Dr. Robert Herring Wright, first president of Kast Carolina Teachers College, passed away after serving a quarter of a century as head of this institution. Inspired and guided by his leadership, this college grew from a school of barely 175 students to an institution of over a thousand. Nor were Dr. Wright’s interests confined to the campus and his profession. They were also that of his community. He was keenly interested in civic life and gave freely of his time, talent, and finances to further any movements that he felt were for the good of the community. The esteem with which Dr. Wright was held by those who knew him is indicated by the following quotation from the Greenville Reflector: “It is needless to endeavor in a short time and space to cover the activities and achievements of this great man. It should suffice to say that truly the state and especially this immediate com- munity is a better place for his having lived.” “North Carolina has lost a worthy son, a capable and dis- tinguished educational leader, and a good citizen,” stated an edi- torial in the Kinston Free Press as it summarized the accomplish- ments of the deceased president. “No man ever lived who was more willing, eager and ready to serve the youth of his home, his friends, and associates, and the community in which he lived, in any way, in any capacity, at any time, than Robert H. Wright.” = At the time of his death the Teco Ecuo stated the attitude of the student body toward their beloved leader in the following comment: “This college and its work of training teachers will go on a living memorial to this great leader.” Our present student body and faculty must not fail in the trust that Robert Herring Wright has placed in them. oe ee Campus Camera ance vemno%f CATCHING # COACHES OY Cand. ah "ror" — i, ; wa | OF EMME, BE JACK COFFEY, Seaman 17 Ses BOSTON COLESE MORE THAN 3000 THAT HE SMOKED BIRTH DATES WITH EASE’ TWO CIGARETTES AT A TIME 4 “UPSIDE DOWN MAN” FRANK ANNEBERG, KANSAS U.

Nancy Albright. To the Editor: Students at East Carolina Teach- ers College for some time have been voicing disapproval of conditions existing at the local bus-terminal; but as yet we have seen no discussion | of the matter in this paper. Traffic jams—caused by busses as- sembling at the bus-station—on Greenville’s main highway occur al- most hourly, making the spot a dan- gerous one for both automobiles and bus-passengers.

A group of new models at Blanche and Simons gives prominence to} sport felt hats trimmed by scarfs of jersey tulle of contrasting color, such as maroon on natural grege tone, or moss green on mustard. Very light felts are also used for afternoon hats, trimmed with clusters of flow- ers the most popular being anemones in their natural tones so that they give a vivid note. These hats are usually very small but high, such as a model of white felt with narrow brim whose crown is replaced by a} fan drape of the felt, with flower stems twisted around its base. A light gray felt with its crown heightened by a cluster of anemones on top has a short black veil of coarse mesh covering the eyes. Though veils are not used as much this spring as they were this winter, they are still very popular, but hang at sides and back as often or even more often than they do at the front. This is particularly true of canoties ; and Suzy’s way of dividing a plain mesh veil into scarfs which fall at each side framing the face seems to be meeting with much favor from Parisiennes. One also sees canotiers with a brief and careless drape of fine mesh veil over the brim at the back, something like a puff of smoke be- comingly filling in the space between the head and the hat as the tiny| canotier brim tips up in the air so far|| forward that most of the head is left) | exposed.

Should “the powers that be” defer action until after some student or pedestrian has been injured or even killed? In addition to the highly danger- ous conditions under which the sta- tion is operated, the station itself presents an appearance which is hardly in keeping with the stand- ards set by the other public build- ings in Greenville. The lack of suit- able waiting-rooms, the absence of rest-rooms of any but the crudest type, and inefficient direction of pas- sengers to the proper busses might be appropriate to Pumpkin Center— but surely they are out of place in “The Hub of Eastern Carolina.” Since students of ECTC com- prise a large portion of the patron- age of the local bus-station, we feel entirely justified in asking ‘for changes. Naturally, those persons maintaining the station will not make expensive improvements of their own volition ; but if sufficient public pres- sure can be focused upon the dangers and abuses prevalent under the ex-|”". : isting situation, perhaps Greenville will carry me all right st the pres- will, some day, have a bus-terminal ene for spending money.

Dearest Mother and Dad: T’m awfully sorry that I haven’t written or been home before this but you see, there has been a slight misunderstanding as to who I am that I had to straighten out. First of all, about two years ago they had a boy up here by my name that they had kicked out on account of getting drunk (you know that I wouldn’t think of do- ing anything such as that) and they thought that I was the same boy. After much confusion, I finally straightened things out, but I don’t know for how long. " Really, I believe that I’m going to like this East Carolina Teachers College. There’s not many girls, though, so you won’t have to come up to check on me. Because of the few girls, I probably won’t need so much spending money. Which brings up the age-old question of money: As I see it now, about a dollar and a half a week : so-called student fee which must be ae eee emeone paid. Then there is the class fee Respectfully yours, of $2.75, which I'll need, if you Spectator. expect me to participate in any class events. And, of course, you'll want me to see the athletic con- tests and a season ticket is only five dollars and a quarter, which is E.C.T.C.—AN ATHLETIC CLUB!

And to add to the effectiveness of his no-cramming edict at Emporia (Kans.) State Teachers College, Prof. Cram says his students may use “ponies” when they write the answers to his quiz problems. pencilslim, | | floor-length skirts with contrasting Says the professor: “This plan serves as an impetus to the student to put in a worthwhile review pro- gram. He won’t have to clutter up his mind with numerous equations which he can’t remember. It makes for more constructive review instead of cramming.” 2 So we hereby initiate a movement to create more Crams and less cram- ming in all collegeland! each.

Sorority, composed of 10 girls, who hold secret meetings and carry out estublished objectives of the organi- zation, When you have 10 girls compris- ing a club, they’re going to have fun. And the D.E.Y.C. Sorority does just that. But there’s a serious side to their activities. One of their most notable achievements since organiz- ing has been to collect clothing for little girls of poor families enrolled in the Training School. Officers of the Sorority are Eva Carter, president; Sula Carr, vice president; Alice Bragg, secretary; Shirley Latham, treasurer; Mary Helen Gullege, chairman of the in- vitations committee, and Marian Al- len, mascot tender. Other members of the group are Evelyn Brummitt, Dale Pitts, Anna Jones and Bess Usry. Sorority. There’s nothing very out- standing about Henry, except that THE TECO ECHO he’s a Bunny Rabbit—the kind you purchase downtown from one of the department stores. But Henry has his advantages. He’s the only male at the meetings and knows every- thing that goes on. Henry was born without a.tongue and can’t say any- thing. Members of the Sorority live on the first floor of Jarvis Hall. If any student ever hears commotion on this floor on Thursday night around 10:30 o’clock—that’s the time the Sorority holds its meetings—he’ll know why hilarity prevails. Dues of the D.E.Y.C. are a penny a week and a nickel if a member has an unexcused absence. Money saved up thus far this year went to defray expenses of a party of the Sorority held last Saturday night after the delightful Junior-Senior Dance. The Sorority has its own consti- tution; meets in a different room each week, and meets only once a week unless one of the girls gets a box from home. Should a box come to one of the members every day, then the D.E.Y.C. members would meet every night. Dynamite Buried Under “Y” Hut Back In The Old Pioneer Days Every night, I shake with fright, for dynamite—now, there is no reason for fear, but nevertheless it’s there. Yep, right there. It seems that when this vast cam- pus of ours was forest primeval, except for the administration build- ing, West Dormitory, and East Dor- mitory, as they were then called in this man’s land, some workmen made use of dynamite to remove tree roots. They were to remove the roots to clear a place for more buildings. When the job was completed, dyna- mite was left strewn around. Since this was dangerous (well, other peo- ple say it is. I'l take their word for it), President Wright requested the engineer to collect it and dis- pose of it somewhere. Thus the en- gineer went ’way, ’way back in the woods and buried it beside an old stump—an insignificant little stump. Time marched on and one day the Y.W.C.A. decided to build a hut. Therefore ’way back in the woods (beside the infirmary) they go. They knock aside this stump; they knock aside that stump; and up goes the “Y” hut. Yep, right over the dynamite, it did, the exact place. Hum-m-m-, I hope it’s not another gunpowder plot, I hope. But folks, it’s there, gone but not forgotten. I bet’cha. (Editor’s note: We don’t know whether this is true, but it makes a good story anyway.) Mock Faculty To Be Held Sponsored by the Zeta Delta So- rority, a mock faculty will be pre- sented in the Austin building on May 15 at 8:00 o'clock. Marie Trippe, chairman of the Mock Faculty committee states that short characterizations will be pre- sented by students of some forty “odd” teachers. When consulted on the program Marie declared emphati- eally, “If you have ever had a wish to see your favorite teacher as other students see them, here is your chance. Also if teachers have ever had the desire to see themselves as others sée them, here is their chance.” Three rows on the front will be reserved for teachers so desiring to see the Mock Faculty. Miss Ellis, adviser of the group is directing the students. Admission to the entertainment will be 10 cents per person. Hanover, N. H.— (ACP) — For the first time in the long history of Dartmouth College, undergraduates this year are actively participating in the determination of the institu- tion’s academic policies. In a new plan designed to give students a greater interest in their own education, juniors and seniors will discuss with their insthuctors} the requirements, curricular prob- lems and departmental mechanics of | their courses. Economics, sociology and political science are the first three courses to be included in the new plan. Dartmouth’s administrators feel that if members of the student body are eligible for election to commit- tees on which they will work with faculty members, an actual concern for the affairs of the department will be developed in the individual stu- dents. They feel that this will raise the educational standards of the col- lege. Come and Yell for the Hero — and Hiss the Villain Real Old.Fashioned Mellerdrammer! and Sparkling Variety Show!

The club has been bolstered, however, by the signing of Dave Breece, slugging first-sacker, who is expected to help the team show marked improvement. The “Deans of Rhythm” have had trouble in getting their instruments in tune and have dropped three games without a victory to show for their efforts. Bill Basden, bandmaster of the club, has also signed new talent and a little harmony can be expected as a result. The two leaders clash this week in what will probably determine the eventual winner of the tournament. The admission is free and all stu- dents can plan to attend. The remainder of the intramural program, including horseshoes, ping pong, and tennis, are moving along nicely and will be completed near the end of the quarter. Doug Glover has emerged as the top threat for the horseshoe crown, while Charles Har- ris and Don Brock loom high in ping pong and tennis, respectively.
