You will be spared that type until this time next year. It must be said, though, that I have appreciated those of you (both stu- dents and others that don’t bear mentioning) who have ranted and railed at me on occasion. It shows that there’s a little life in a few of you yet. The only defense with which I would like to leave you comes in the form of a poem by the ever-present Mamuel Hoffenstein— “I seldom mean a single thing E , or (as the phrase goes) sing; But if it sounds both bright and true, I like to think I think I do.” On to more important things ... There is an excellent and very interesting exhibit in the library which contains much of the good work done by students in the art department this year. This is a growing department and one which contains quite a bit of unexpected talent. : There should always be a farewell word to the Graduating Seniors.

All of them agreed with him that they were being persecuted since they were all in the same class. “If I go to the movie I won’t even have time to go to the “Y” shop afterwards as I’ll have to go study some,” spoke up Joe again. ‘“What’s the test about?” inquired George, “I had to go to Belks and get a pair of pants during today’s class period.” No one answered as no one was really sure he knew what the lecture had been about. “Sure has some nerve by assigning us all that materia! for one night’s study when a good movie is on,” remarked one of the crowd. “They just won’t give us any decent time to study around here,” was Tom’s consoling reply to the crowd of boys. “Well, come on fellows, if we hustle, maybe we can get a good seat,” someone yelled, and seven of the intellctual set.walked off towards five-points and “Raintree County.” With this ring... have to see the person—to tell much in love, a little old lady.

And my Faculty Displays Vari By Derry Walker ; One outstanding value of faculty | members at East Carolina College is often overlooked by the student body; their acting ability. Since 1933 ECC professors have offered a variety of entertaining stage produc- | tions, from simple one-act to more | complex three-act plays. | The purpose of faculty drama is | three-fold: it's fun for the partici-| | pants, it provides amusement for the| | student body and anybody else inter- | ested, and it raises money for a very | worthy cause; the East Carolina Fo- | reign Study Scholarship Fund. The Greenville Branch of the American Association of University ; Women has worked hand in hand | with the E.C. Faculty for many years | and has helped in the way of acquir- ing costumes, sets, and other equip- ment necessary for the productions. The combined forces of these groups have succeeded in raising consider- but could be even more successful if actions and aims. Thus far, no Brandos or Bergmans | have arisen from the file of perform- | an abundance of Emmet Kelleys have | apepared in various plays. Mrs. Bar- rett remarks, “the members have Published by the Students able sums of money for their cause, |} | more students were aware of their |} ers, but according to Mrs. Agnes Bar- | { rett, President Messick’s secretary, | ‘ ied Talents very idealistic motives each time, but! they generally prove to be a bunch/| nating their time and talents for | these productions, and the facetious | remark itself overlooks the fact that | the presentations are often quite ex-| cellent. Some of the recent faculty produc- tions include “Harvey,” “The Curious Savage,” and “The Silver Whistle.” George E. Perry, who had the lead role in “The Silver Whistle,” was instrumental as the director of the two others. This year, the E.C. troupers proved their merit in one of Agatha Chris- of hams in love with grease paint and |: bright lights.” Mrs. Barrett’s pun}. by no means reflects the fun that|: E.C.’s faculty members have in do-|. tie’s whodunits, “‘The Mouse Trap,” which was again sponsored by the AAUW and directed by Robert For- ney, of the Greenville Little Theatre. Much preparation and hard work accompany the frolic of the college corps of part-time actors, all result- ing in entertainment waiting to be enjoyed by the student body, and certainly the funds raised for the 4 Foreign Study Scholarship Fund are significant. The whole program rates a louder applause and wholehearted support from E.C. students.
