GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA

FOREWORD
We submit to you the 1944 Tecoan so that in years to come you may pause to look backward - to reminisce as you grow older. We have attempted to portray life of the college and we hope that these portrayals will recall to you scenes that have become closely inter- twined in your lives - and we hope, too, that they will cause you to relive the joyful days of college life at your dear Alma Mater.
DEDICATION
To Miss Ruth White the students dedi- cate the 1944 Tecoan. The nature of her duties has brought her into contact with everyone of the students and it has been through her understanding, good judg- ment, and fairness to all that the students have learned to know, love, and respect her. She has been an inspiration to many and her splendid personality will always be a part of East Carolina Teacher's College.

You HAVE BEEN TAUGHT to solve some hard problems while you have been with us. We trust that the power gained in the solution of these problems will enable you to overcome many of the difficulties which today confront both nations and in- dividuals; some of these are the conquering and holding in check the arch enemies of freedom; the rehabilitation of wounded and war-worn soldiers and the reconstruction of a devastated world; the building up of an economic system that will prevent wars. The world is yours to fashion as you see fit. You have youth, ambition, training, tolerance, faith, devo- tion, and perseverance. May success be yours.
Leon R. Meadows, President.

ADMINISTRATION
The message I wish to give you has been well expressed by Patience Strong when she says:
"One Hfe and one alone we have to live upon this little earth. One life in which to learn so much - to seek and find and prose our worth. So waste no time on fruitless quests that get you nowhere in the end. The gold of Time is yours to squander or with care to use and spend."
ANNIE L. MORTON
Patriotism must transcend selfishness and personalities. Loyalty must surpass expediency and personal ambition. Truth must ever be the paramount factor in the realization of freedom. Unbiased convictions based upon truth, honesty, and sincerity must be the sole s^uide of human life.

STUDENT COOPERATIVE
Student Cooperative Council
The Student Cooperative Council functions as the ex- ecutive and legislative branch of the Student Cooperative Government Association. Its membership is composed of class representatives, presidents of clubs and organizations, editors of the college publications, vice-chairmen of the Men and Women's Judiciaries, vice-presidents of house committees, and vice-presidents of day-student committees.
The Student Cooperative Council was born on May 5, 1943 when it convened for the first time in the lecture room of the New Classroom Building. Since that memorable date the council has known trials and errors but the sincere efforts of its members and the most commendable leadership of its President, Miss Dorothy Lewis have laid for it a secure foundation in the Student Cooperative Govern- ment Association of East Carolina Teachers College.
The Student Cooperative Council grew out of the desire of the Students of E.C.T.C. for a student government functioning as a constructive, unified, cooperative body. Its purpose can be stated in a few words, "to give the student body the best possible service and guidance."

Women's Judiciary
Thh Women's Judiciary of East Carolina Teachers College is com- posed of nine members elected by the student body. This is the branch of the Student Cooperative Govern- ment Association that concerns itself with the disciplinary problems of the women students.
The Women's Judiciary meets once a week to discuss problems of major and minor importance. The main function of this body is to maintain high standards of conduct on our campus.

Men's Judiciary
The purpose of the Men's Judi- ciary is to act as a judicial body in all matters concerning discipline of men students, and to support any movement on the campus for the betterment of the college and the students. This year a very small number of men students were en- rolled; thus, functions of the judi- ciary were greatly reduced.

HRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
The Young Women's Christian Association has striven as always to carry out the purpose of the national organization to help students "realize full and creative lives through a growing knowledge of God."
In many of the varied vesper programs, on Sundays and Fridays, and in the choice of "Brotherhood" for the theme of Religious Emphasis Week, with Rev. Charles Jones as chief speaker, the organization has emphasized this year a better understanding of all peoples.
The "Y" again took the lead in sponsoring the World Student Service Fund Drive, this time as a part of the National War Fund Drive. Through this means the members of the "Y ' gave concrete expression to their belief that all men are brothers.
In cooperation with the Interfaith Council, the "Y" helped bring Rev. T. B. Cowan of the Norris Religious Fellowship to the campus for a series of talks.
Occasional socials; open house in the "Y" hut on Sundays, in the early fall for fresh- men, and later for service men; projects and work groups in Freshman "Y" ; and evening prayers in all the dormitories have helped to build well rounded lives.

YOUNG MEN'S CHRIS
J. C. Shepherd, Preudenl
Delton Creech,
Secretary
Joe Lassiter, Treasurer
In spite of the small number of men students on the campus this year the Young Men's Christian Association has had a very successful year. Between fifty and sixty- students and faculty members joined the "Y." When one considers that the enrollment of boys for the year averaged about fifty each quarter this seems to be an enviable record. Members of the Cabinet met in Bayview for the annual fall retreat at which time plans were made for this year's activities. Working with the Young Women's Christian Association, the "Y" has constantly tried to keep religious activities before all the students. A World Student Ser%'ice Fund drive was sponsored in the fall. A Religious
TIAN ASSOCIATION
Emphasis Week was held during the winter quarter. During the entire year the two "Y's" have tried to bring outstanding rehgious speakers to the campus to hold their vesper services.
As a part of the year's activities, the Young Men's Christian Association mailed Christmas cards to all former East Carolina stnadents who are now in service. The "Y" has aso tried to maintain contact with its former members who are now in service by sending each an "In Service Membership Card" in the "Y" for their own personal use.

THE BAND
The college band has advanced and continues to do so under the able direc- tion of Dr. Karl V. Gilbert, head of the Music Department.
The organization has built up a fine repertoire of music which offers its members helpful, as well as enjoyable experience. This experience is an aid to the student in organizing and conducting the future musicians of America.

VOCAL ENSEMBLES
Due to the scarcity of men on the campus this year the college choir, as such, was given up. In its place, Mr. Fisher developed a number of small ensembles, which made several public appearances independently, at concerts, and for clubs. The members of one group will long remember one night they sang at the Rotary Club, when the gentlemen insisted on putting out the lights for their rendition of "A Kiss in the Dark."
The membership of these groups was as follows: Girls' Quintet - Doris Lee, Ethel Smithy Josephine Gibson, Jean Roberson, Sally Margaret Johnston; Girls' Septet - Mary Elizabeth Wells.
Marguerite Moye, Blanch Ogborn, Marie Whitehurst, Elna Powell, Elizabeth Wells Nan Little; Madrigal Singers - Dorothy Be thune, Roena Collins, Florie Dell Kennedy. Jean Strickland, Manora Mewborn, Harold ^^S MacDougle, Delton Creech, Julian Mat

THE ENGLISH CLUB
The English Club is an organization of English majors which strives to bring experiences of Hterary value to its members which they would not receive in the classroom to increase their literary interests by a deeper delving into the best books, magazines, and plays. This naturally leads into a study of the lives of authors and a better knowledge of writing.
This year, with Miss Emma L. Hooper succeeding Dr. Lucille Turner as adviser, many varied and interesting programs have been enjoyed. Among them were readings of poetry, a Christmas pageant and the reading of a play on a subject of current interest
The club meets in a well-equipped English

SCIENCE CLUB
The Science Club is not an organization for science majors alone, but it is for all people on the campus who have a real interest in science. In the club are both faculty members and students. Dr. Wilton and Dr. Deloach are the official advisers, although the other members of the Science Department have also been cooperative.
The program of work for the year has been built around the theme "Our Surroundings." During the first meeting of the year a talk was made about the native trees on the campus. A club room has been set aside and furnishing it is one of the club's projects.
The club is also making a study of other Science clubs in the country - their organiza- tion and work - and plans to help in further organization of clubs in high schools are be- ing made.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB
Believing strongli- in the supreme worth of the individual, our club proposes to develop personalit)', leadership, initiative, and poise. Attempting to do this, it is our hope that we may simply "serve our community, our schools, and our families."
The theme of our club work this year was "Home Economics in War Time," and our monthly programs centered around various phases of home economics-nutrition, child care, 4-H club work, home economics teaching, and home-making. The Christmas meeting was devoted to preparing and wrapping gifts to be sent to the Grandfather's Home for Children at Banner
Elk, North Carolina, and at the May meet- ing, the club honored the senior home ec- onomics students.
The club is a member of the North Caro- lina Association of Home Economics Club.

JARVIS FORENSIC CLUB
The Jarvis Forensic Club, one of the few clubs on the campus encouraging intel- lectual activities, was organized in 1938 with a definite purpose, that of interesting more students in debating and various other phases of public speaking.
The highlights of the club year come on the occasions we participate in debates with other colleges. Since its organization, the club has won decisions over many of the prominent colleges of the South. Among them are the University of North Carolina, the University of Alabama, Davidson College, Wingate and Bridgewater. Among the more outstanding debaters of the club have been Mary Gaskins, Mildred Beverly, Jen- nings Ballard, Carlyle Cox and James Worsley.
Much of the success of the club may be accredited to its sponsor, Dr. M. N. Posey, a member of the English faculty. Dr. Posey has been the sponsor of the Forensic Club since its organization. Through his wide and varied experience in this field, he has been in position to offer constructive criticism and skillful leadership.

In its editorial policy the Tcco Echo has endeavored to support what it believed to be right and has opposed what it considered to be wrong. It has held malice toward no one individual or campus group but has attempted to present to the student public the news as it happened.

PIECES O' EIGHT
This year more than ever before the aim of the Pieces O' Eight has been to make this publication a magazine of the students. An effort has been made to encourage contributions from the student body. Varied interests and much new talent has been discovered in this manner. The magazine has sought to provide a healthy escape from thoughts of war and at the same time broaden and heighten the outlook of the magazine with a few thought-provoking and informative stories and articles on more serious subjects.

Throughout this year the Edgar Allan Poe Society has sought to learn more about the poet tor which it was named. We have bought a new banner, learned songs about Poe, and learned the true facts of his life.
The society has played its part in the uniting of the societies on the cam.pus. Since our dance came in the early spring, we used Easter as the theme for the occasion.
The call for service has been heard by the Poe members and they have helped in the war effort by working in the Red Cross Room and buying war bonds and stamps.

The Ralph Waldo Emerson Literary Society this year has excelled our expectations. Beyond the attempt to create a love of Emerson's masterpieces within the hearts of the members of our society, it has kindled the flame of a better social life on our campus.
Among the activities of the society throughout 1943-44 were the three receptions given for artists who visited our campus, a Christmas party. Red Cross work, entertainment of service men in the Campus Building, the President's Ball, and the main event of the year was the May Day program.
Marshals for the Emerson Society this year were Virginia Knowles, Henrietta Cooper, and Alice Wiggins.
Without a spirit of cooperation and brotherhood the society would have been unable to achieve the goal set for it. This has been a successful year for the Emerson Society, and we look forward to a brighter and even more suc- cessful one next year.

The worthy purpose for which Sidney Lanier lived are the ideals ever before the loyal members of the Lanier Society.
This has been a most successful year for the Laniers, evidence of which may be recognized by the efficiency with which it has functioned both alone and in cooperation with the Emersons and the Poes.
The feature of the year was the mid-winter dance which was carried out in a spirit of frivolity and pleasing originality.
