V all these years for nothing.
When the old boilers in the
power house, which used to
stand where the dining hall is
now. were condemmed. there
secmt d no way of getting rid of
them. They couldn't be sold.
(Who in those days even called
such, scrap iron?) They couldn't
get anyone or thing to take them
off of the campus even. So the
only thing left to do. luckily, was
to dispose of them on the cam-
pus. Thus a band of "pirates"
dug a deep hole on the back cam-
pus, threw the boilers in, cov-
ered up the hole, washed their
hands, and forgot them for six-
teen years.
In those sixteen years many
changes took place on the cam-
pus and other places. The power
plant was moved with new boil-
ers, new buildings sprang up.

At Annual Dance
Honoring the 1942 senior
class, the members of the junior
class will entertain at the an-
nual junior-senior prom, April
18. 1942 in the Robert H.
Wright building.
According to Joyce Dunham,
junior president, plans for the
affair, which is the only card
dance held during the year, are
nearing completion.
Previously plans had been
laid for the selecting and book-
' ing of a big name band, but in
order to boost the local ECTC
musicians who are steadily
gaining fame throughout the
state, it was voted that Billy
Knauff and his orchestra would
furnish music for the occasion.
On Monday, Tuesday and

card dance were given out to
more than 500 people who sign-
ed up to attend.

Senior Play Cast
To Be Chosen
On Monday Night
Try-outs for the 1942 senior
play, "Vivacious Lady" will be
held Monday night at seven
thirty in the Austin Auditor-
ium, according to Ida Ruth
Knowles. president of the sen-
ior class.
A comedy in three acts based
upon the copyrighted motion
picture of the same name, "Vi-
vacious Lady" was adapt-
ed from the original story by
Ida A. R. Wylie. The story was
dramatized for the screen by
Frank Vreeland and tells about
the troubles that Peter Morgan,
young college professor, has in
telling his conservative New
England family that he has
married a beautiful young ac-
tress after a whirlwind court-
ship of one day and a night. To
add to his troubles, Peter's
fiancee refuses to give him and
opportunity to tell her about his
newly acquired wife.
The play is well sprinkled
with gags lines, fast action and
a theatrically effective plot
which has kept audiences laugh-
ing throughout the three acts.
Directed by Clifton Britton,
the Senior play will be present-
ed in the Austin building May
15. and 16. The Chi Pi Players
will compose the Technical
staff with Ophelia Hooks and
Dave Owens serving as stage
managers.

They Get All The Blame
Rumors around the campus have it that high school students
are not being allowed to use the college library anymore and all
because some few high school boys have violated college regula-
tions and have been dating college girls.
Upon investigation we have found only a small portion of this
rumor to be true and would like to give the situation as it really
is. There seems to be enough conflict between the high school and
college without having some petty gossipers trying to make more.
The real situation is this. Every spring quarter in addition
to the usual visitors, the college library is invaded by a large
number of freshmen and others writing source themes'and term
papers. It so happens that a large majority of these students do
heir work at night and when this number is increased by high
school students who are also writing source themes, conditions
become pretty crowded.
In order to alleviate the situation somewhat, the library of-
ficials have ruled that high school students be allowed the use of
the library only in the mornings and afternoons. However, to ac-
comodate those high school students who work in the afternoons,
the library officials are allowing those students to come over at
nights but only with the permission of their instructors.
The library officials are more than willing to have high
school students and townspeople use the librarv since the Green-
ville library does not have as complete and adequate periodical
tiles as the college library, but they also realize that their primary
Purposeia to serve college students. So in order to accomodate
both high school and college students, the above rule was made.
Now for the gossipers. We hope that we have explained the
situation and that you understand that this regulation has noth-
ing to do with high school boys dating college girls. Don't blame :
everything that happens over here on them. Thev have enough
to worry about trying to avoid the student councils.
"You can't really be number
15, too, can you? Whew! Imag-
ine me getting someone with
the same price tag as mine and

"Lawsy me, but 'm glad you
turned out to be a gal who
doesn't have to be found with
a microscope
Such was the nature of some
of the greetings at the end of a
two-day suspense, lasting until
the blind dates were matched
Saturday night at the dance.
However, Gotten Hall carried
on bravely at entertaining the
service boys at the Campus
Bulding. Some of the gals, who
before the dance, were saying
that they just knew they'd get
something like Ish Kabible (?)
or some other non-glamourous
drizzly jerk, were the very ones
who came home from the dance
all dreamy-eyed and in reverie.
Believe it or not though, the only
complaints heard were those
from some woeful number wail-
ing because some dizzy blonde
stole her good-looking drip. So
be truthful, now, and 'fess up.
You could still wiggle your toes
and none were really black and
blue with bruises�and you real-
ly did adore those ge-orgous
blue eyes of his (or were they
brown) didn't you?
But. all kidding aside, strange
as it may seem, these uniformed
supermen appear to be simply
cra-azy about the Southern Bel-
les at EGTG who are found to
be so willing and anxious to be-
stow their hospitality to invad-
ers of our campus. And another
thing they say is nice about us
- is our non-shakeable belief in
the 3 m's�Meals. Mail, and aw,
Ihow'd you guess it?�Men!
But getting back to the sub-
ject of the dances given for the
boys in the service and sponsor-
ed by the various dormitories,
its really a swell idea, and one
everyone can enjoy. So gals,
brush up on your dancing tech-
nique and show them we can
"keep em dancing" as well as
"keep em flying.

We Hope You Win
Last week the Ghi Pi Players contribution to the East Caro-
lina Dramatics Festival held in Raleigh, was given a rating of a
one which entitled them to enter the state dramatics contest
being held in Chapel Hill this week-end.
We feel that the cast, the technical staff, and the director
should a 1 be congratulated on their success and should be given
some tribute for this and the many other things that thev have
done for this college. When any organization does
worthwhile and outstanding it is verv definitely
institution with which they are affiliated.
A large part of the success of this group can be attributed
to the efforts of Clifton Britton. who was instrumental in organi-
zing the college dramatics club and has been their leader ever
since. This is Clifton s last year at East Carolina Teachers Col-
lege and his work will go down in the history of the colleges
dramatics activities. K

for the success of the Contest play, "Rainbows in Heaven You

Common visitor around the

to be able to knock the ball and
his partner for a loop. Walter
Mallard is seen socking the ball
back and forth, too. And two
"uys who really know their

nis are Russell Rogerson and
Keith Hudson. Strange, isn't
it. how tennis can take a fel-
low's mind off the girls as much
as it does.

This rule could be in some way arranged so as to allow the
entrance of the college's alumni and brothers and other relatives

when Pitcher Gates fielded

ball into left field in an attempt
to cut Futrelle off at third.
Up until the fourth. Gauldin
seemed to have the Oak Ridge
boys well under control. How-

four runs across the plate. In

hits were combined for the

next week will alternate to
4:30 p. m.
The group is to be divided in-
to a league of four teams ac-
cording to acting manager,
Esther Parker.
Much interest is being shown
by participants, and this should
develop into some good games
between the four teams in-
volved. Heretofore, interest has
not been shown as much as this
year.
Last year the boys organized
a softball league, and much fun
and enjoyment was had by all
participating. There has not as
yet been any such league or-
ganized for the men of the
campus. However, it should be
of much interest to the boys as
well as the girls to go down and
look on at some of the games
being played this Spring among
the women.
Coach Christenbury states
that his softball class is show-
ing much improvement, and
that he is getting a great deal
of pleasure out of teaching this
class, so you young ladies who
are not taking this softball class
come on out and join up with
the swell league that has been
organized.
ECTC Athletes
Are Scholars Too
It is a general problem for
coaches in most schools to keep
their players passing enough
work to be eligible to partici-
pate in sports, but "Coach
John of East Carolina Teach-
ers College has a far harder
task: that of helping his boys
arrange expenses. Well, Coach,
you're a good manager as well
as mentor.
The concensus of opinion,
when speaking of athletes in
academics, is that they tend to
fall below average. This opinion
can easily be done away with,
in most cases, when speaking of
East Carolina Teachers Col-
letre because many of the out-
standing athletes on the campus
are also outstanding scholars.
The following young men
have either been making the
honor roll constantly or hitting
only a few points below: "Dan-
ny" Waddell. Bill Lucas, Bob
Young, Clyde Mann, Russell
"Fat" Rogerson, and the migh-
ty "Bull" Roberson.
Another interesting thing
about these scholars is that,
when not practicing ball or
studying, they are working:
earning their expenses in school I j
luck to you fellows: stick
in there and fight!
Prospects Look
Good For Tennis
Team In Play-Off
Dr. Haynes' promising tennis
squad opens its spring season
March 15, by facing the Citadel
on the local courts. Another
southern conference school, N.
C. State will be met at a later
date. Other matches are pend-
ing with Wake Forest,Louis- j
burg and William and Mary
(XD).
The first round in the ladder
tournament to determine seed-
ed places on the squad was com-
pleted Monday and the second
round is now in progress.
From present indications it
seems almost a certainty that
Doug Jones will reserve the
number one spot on the team.
Norman Wilkerson first and
second round winner over the
Hudson brothers, should receive
the second call. Keith and
Everette Hudson may divide
the next two places but will re-
ceive stern competition from
the rest of the group. Other
players participating in the
tournament are Rogerson. Gad-
dy, Sidney Johnson, Fisher,
and Ben Miller.
The Pirates found their lost
hitting power yesterday and out-
plugged the Atlantic Christian
Bulldogs but ACC made one big
inning count to walk away with
'he game by a 11-6 score.
This makes the third loss, the
Pirates having lost to Oak
Ridge Military Institute and
Campbell College earlier in the
season. Even though the game
was lost, Coach John's boys
showed much improvement over
previous games played this sea-
son. ECTC, however, is planning
to stage a comeback next Friday
afternoon on the home field.
Aldrich started on the mound
tot the Bucs and was reached
for nine hits in six innings. In
the fifth frame the Bulldogs
staged a major uprising and
blasted five singles, together
with an error and a base on
balls, pushed five runs across
the plate. Dick Gauldin was
rushed in to squelch the upris-
ing but the damage had been
done
Lassiter, ace Christian pitch-
er, starred at bat as well as on
the mound. In the fifth and
seventh innings, he polled two
long doubles to deep center.
Buddy Murray, diminutive
catcher, was the days star for
the Pirates. Relieving Sisk in
the fourth. Buddy smashed three
clear singles in four trips to the
plate. Every pirate managed to
get at least one hit except Aid-
rich.
Goodwin and Davis led the
Christian hitters with three hits
in five tries.
The game, played in the Wil-
son ball park, was witnessed by
over a thousand fans and was
the initial contest in a four
game series to be played be-
tween the two clubs.

Well here's another gal for
you to recognize and we'll bet
anything you can't guess this
one. She's a senior but that's the
only hint we can give you. If
you think you know wrho it is,
how about coming by the staff
room today at 1 :30 and telling
us all about it? If you get the
nVht answer, which we don't
think you will, we'll give you a
free ticket to the movies.
The picture last time was of
Mary Home, editor of this

for identifying the picture were

Incidentally, how about turn-
ing in a picture for the next
time. Remember you get a ticket
if we use it as well as for Iden-
tifying the picture. See you at

By now most of the students
are probably familiar with that
congenial, likeable, new person-
ality who has taken Miss
Smith's position in the Infirm-
ary . . she is Miss Mary Ruf-
fin Robertson, R. N just in
case you haven't become ac-
quainted with her yet.
Miss Robertson's home is
Madison, N. C. She trained at
Roanoke Rapids General Hospi-
tal and did further health work
a: Peabody College.
When asked her impression
of East Carolina Teachers Col-
lege, she smiled charmingly
which brought out the dimples
in her cheeks and said, "I think
the campus is lovely; the stu-
dents are nice and co-operative,
but I can't understand why they
are all afraid of the infirmary . .
it really is a nice place. Oh, yes,
another thing, don't the students
ever go to bed?"
She has several hobbies, the
newest and the one receiving
most of her attention at the
present is Stamp Collecting.
She's also fond of sports . . .
especially Badmitton and Ten-
nis.
If you haven't had any aches,
pains, bruises or broken legs,
we'd suggest that you concoct a
few right away. It's worth it
just to have the opportunity to
meet Miss Robertson the
attractive, young, blond, blue-
eyed nurse who has gained
twenty pounds since coming to

there's satisfaction in knowing that the 6Va
revenue tax you pay on every pack of twenty
cigarettes is doing its bit for Uncle Sam
And, when you buy Chesterfields, you
have the satisfaction of knowing you are
getting a superior blend of the world's best
cigarette tobaccos. This famous blend gives
you a smoke that is definitely milder, far
cooler and lots better-tasting. Make your
next pack Chesterfields.
You can't buy a better cigarette.
