program of Christmas music
with artistic tableaux, will be
given in the Austin Auditorium
on Sunday and Monday eve-
nings, December 14 and 15, at
8:15 by the Music Department
of the college.
The entire Music Department
is in some way working to
create and present an effective
program. According to Mr. A.
L. Dittmer, head of the music
department, the best of musical
selections are to be presented
by the various music organiza-
tions. In addition to the College
A Capella choir, the Women's
Chorus, the College Orchestra,
the brass ensemble, there will
be various soloists. Special
lighting effects are being
planned in order to carry out
the program more effectively.
Local ministers are being in-
vited to bring their congrega-
tions to the Sunday evening
program. There will be no ad-
mission charge.
With "Light" as the theme,
the program will begin in total
darkness and will end with the
story of the coming of Christ,
suggested by brilliant light.
This will be the first time
that the music department has
had complete charge of the
annual Christmas pageant, al-
though this department has
aided in the presentation for
a number of vears. A capacity
of both students and towns-
people is expected to be present
for the program.

Hosts For Dance
last Saturday
New E. C. T. C. Instructor In Biology
Enjoys Riding Waves As Unique Hobby
It was quite by accident that
Dr. Mary Emily Humphreys be-
Dr. Mary Humphreys
came a teacher of science. Miss
Humphreys, who replaces Miss
Mary Caughey in the science de-
partment, took a field botany
course in summer school, Lake
Junaluska in the Smokies, a
course so interesting that she
changed her majors.
Miss Humphreys, whose home
is Belin, Maryland, came to East
Carolina Teachers College from
Duke University where for
three years she was graduate
assistant in botany.
She received her education at
Western Maryland, Westminster
and Duke University.
Miss Humphreys not only tea-
ches science but is also a spon-
sor for the freshman class and
is vitally interested in the
science club.
Replacing Miss Caughey, who
is on leave of absence for one
year, she teaches freshman bi-
ology.
Miss Humphreys' hobby
which according to her, "You
might think unusual is riding
waves. Her home town is near
the ocean and she says she real-
ly loves to "ride her hobby
In expressing her opinion of
the science department here,
she stressed the advantage that
students have in being able to go
out the back door and collect
animal and plant life to be used
in science work. "There is a
wonderful opportunity for re-
search in biology, if the stu-
dent is that interested empha-
sized Miss Humphreys.
Whoever started the saying
that blondes are "beautiful but
dumb" just hadn't seen Miss
Humphreys when they arrived
at that conclusion. Five minutes
on her class and you realize that
she is not only blonde and beau-
tiful, but brilliant.
Approximately two thousand
college students and their
escorts attended the first of the
quarterly college dances held
Saturday evening, November
29 in the Wright building
which was sponsored this quar-
ter by the Lanier Society.
Outstanding features of the
evening were carried out in
colorful decorations of red,
white, and blue with a most ap-
propriate figure formation. The
theme, "Beautiful America
was represented by a "Miss
Liberty" and the letters U. S
composed of members of the
various dance committees, was
formed with ribbons of red,
white, and blue. .
William Fawcette and his
orchestra from Wake Forest
College furnished music for the
affair Which boasted the largest
attendance of any dance yet
sponsored.
Sponsors for the dance were;
Fstetle Davis, Mary White, Ruth
Tucker, Dorothy Davis, Mrs.
William McHenry, and Lor-
raine Pritchard.
Intrumental in the carrying
out of the society's plans were
the following committee chair-
m e n : Invitation Committee,
Mary Harvey Ruff in; Chape-
rone Committee, Frances
Phelps: Decorating Committee,
Anne Holloman; Refreshment
Committee, Frances Newby;
Figure Committee, Estelle Da-
vis; and Lighting Committee,

Directs Play
Tonight in Austin Auditor-
ium at 8:30 the Chi PL Players
will present the third perform-
ance of Eleanor MacFadden's
"Double Door a three-act mys-
tery directed by Clifton Britton.
The other two presentations
were given yesterday at 3:00
and 8:30, at which times large
audiences witnessed an emotion-
al and thrill-packed mystery
melodrama.
Four leads. Ethel Smith, Ruby
Coff. Kay Kyser and James
Thompson make their debuts
on the East Carolina Teachers
College stage as Victoria Van
Bret, Carolyn Van Bret, Anne
Darrow and Rip Van Bret, re-
spectively. Ethel Smith portrays
the formidable Aunt Victoria
whose sole existence is dedicat-
ed to the upkeeping of the tra-
ditions of the Van Bret name
and fortune. To preserve these
traditions Victoria is willing to
stop at nothing.
Ruby Goff. a transfer from
Emanuel College in Georgia
where she starred in "Queen
Ester" and other productions,
presents to the audience the
character of dominated middle-
aged sister of Victoria.
James Thompson as Rip and
Kay Kyser as his beautiful fi-
ancee Anne, are seen in the roles
of lovers, also affected by the
despotic actions of Rip's Aunt
Victoria. Though this is Kay's
first appearance in an ECTC
production she has formerly
proved her dramatic ability
when she took the lead in "The
Swan given at Greenville
High School in 1939.

of the dramatic group.
Mrs. Roosevelt
Grants Interview
To Student Press
Eight students and two fac-
ulty advisers, representing the
college publications, were grant-
ed a press interview by Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt when she
came to Greenville as lecturer
for the second of the fall enter-
tainments, November 17. This
is considered an unusual event
in that Mrs. Roosevelt rarely
grants press conferences when
she makes her many trips
about the country.
Mrs. Rooseveit's personal
charm and grace quickly put her
interviewers at ease, and she
answered their many questions
readily.
When questioned about the
part the teachers could play in
national defense, Mrs. Roose
velt stated that they played a
very important part. "The
teachers' most important ac-
tivity should be that of inform-
ing a community of their duties
in case of a national emergency
and the necessity for conserva-
tion of material at all times
said Mrs. Roosevelt. "Teachers

Need Advice?
For the past two years there has been on this campus an or-
ganization that few students know about and yet it was establish-
ed 'o promote their happiness during their college lives.
This group goes under the name of the Social Relations
Committee and is under the direction of Dr. Carl Adams, head
of the psychology department. The purpose of the committee is
to help college students to solve the various problems that might
arise during their college careers. No matter what type of pro-
Idem you have or how insignificant you think it might sound to
others, as long as it is an issue in your life, the Social Relations
committee is willing to help you solve your problem.
Any matter brought to them is considered strictly confi-
dential and will he considered by trained persons with an en-
tirely unbiased veiwpoint. No matter what you tell them it will
not be held against you on your official school record. This com-
mittee has nothing to do with your record in the registrar's of-
fice. It is simply a committee to serve you and to give you pract-
ical and impersonal solutions to your problems. Your problems
will not be laughed at or considered childish as they often are
by parents. If something is a problem in your life it will be con-
sidered one by the committee and they will advise you to the best
of their ability. You don't have to accept the committee's advice.
But it's there if you want it.

Other high spots of the ban-
quet were a rendition of the
"Twelfth Street Rag" on the
accordian by Bob Miller, star
back field man on the ECTC
Squad, and a talk by Bernice
Jenkins, Teco Echo Sports Edi-

Captain Jimmy Gianakos,
who plays guard on the team,
also talked briefly about the
team and how they had grown
together as a squad.
(P. S. He didn't say who
wanted a chance with.)
Jean Abeyounis wants a con-
tract with the Metropolitan, or
WGTC. Billy Hyde very calm-
i ly said he wanted Lana Turner
wrapped up in celophane. Now
he really knows what he wants.
But Billy, don't be too disap-
pointed if you get "Hag" doll.
Lallah B. Watts a camera,
loads of films, and some good
poses. She doesn't mean flowers
either.
Norman Wilkerson may be
interested in a job at Fort

"Mit" Maxwell wants a musi-
cian with lots of music. Frank
Coiner wants a box of crayons
and water colors to use on the
next issue of P. 0. E.
This could go on forever but
iust to sum it all up in one
sentence: Santa, please bring
all of the girls some little
"Men" soldiers, and the boys
some good-looking "Dolls" and
I think everybody will be
hanny.
Merry Christmas!
P. S. Happy New Year, too.
The "Y" feels that attention

the committee has made a re-
port outlining plans for social

mitteemen are doing and hope
to do.

The girls working on the

Recently the "Y" has taken
great interest in the "Bundles

On the committee with Grace

An important week on the
"Y" calendar is the one of De-
cember 27. 1941�January
1942. during which the Nation-
al Student Assembly will be
held at Oxford, Ohio.
Every Christian Association
in the country is urged to be
represented at the Assembly so
that the delegates may work to-
gether to give directions to the
Student Christian movement.
The "Y" hopes to be able to
send one of more representa-
tives to this Assembly. Special
cars will be chartered for the
trip, and delegates from this
section of the country will
board at various points along
the wav that all may go to
Ohio.
Committees are working out
a program which will help clar-
ify and deepen our understand-
ing of our Christian faith. The
delegation will be divided into
seminars composed of 30 to 35
persons. During the first three
days of the assembly, all groups
will discuss the same series of
questions: the discussion will
be preceded each morning and
afternoon by a platform ad-
dress. Later in the week dele-
gates will join groups on the
basis of their interest in the
group topics. Discussions to be
taken up will concern Christian
faith, social analysis, education
for Christian social reconstruc-
tion, etc.
