So Long, Seniors
It is with both pride and regret that we
look forward to commencement . . a pride
in the achievements of the departing seniors,
and a regret in seeing them go.
As one looks back over the four years
hi or she has spent in college, he realizes
that he has just passed through what are
c nsidered the happiest days of one's life.
This is particularly true of the student who
has been active in extra-curricular activities
; rid who has tried to take advantage of all
the opportunities provided. Almost invari-
ably the person who lives a full life is the
person who lives a good life.
After having lived together and worked
t gether these short years, we have formed
strong bonds of friendship. All good things
must come to an end. however, and so it is
with college.
So it is fare" ell and good luck. Seniors,
and lei us hope that you. in fact all of us.
will go out and do everything possible to
make this work! a better place in which to
live!

dents and faculty it is and will continue to
be such.
We should like for the alumni to feel
that they are welcome not only on Alumni

It is our guess that a more brilliant, en-
lightened and working mind than of Mr.
R bert Lee H umber's has not been seen on
the campus for some time. Unless you want
a World War III. it would be well to consider
what this man and other men like him are
saying. Certainly .Mr. Humber's basic idea
that there should be an international ar-
rangement of nations and an international
law which can be enforced, cannot be far
from wrong. It is our duty as students and
potential leaders to really think through
such proposals, and stand up for what we
think. It is the sacred and honor-bound
duty to the fighting man of today, that not
only we as students and leaders, but each
and every citizen of the U. S do everything
within his power to see that this war is not
fought in vain. Otherwise duty, debt, friend-
ship, allegiance or whatever you choose to
call it that we owe to them, both living and

We realize this has been perhaps a very
tlying and difficult school year for many,
but we hope, and we feel it is an obligation
of students, faculty and administration, to
start anew this summer school and the next
regular term of school. To start anew, in
that past difficulties and individual differ-
ences be forgotten, and to be concerned only
with the immediate and sole objective of
.king this a successful college. For a col-
lege to function smoothly is very easy, but
when a trying and difficult situation arises.
then the real test, of what kind of "stuff"
the students, faculty and administration are
made of, comes when an effort is being made
to return to normal. This test includes
whether everyone can pull together and work
in harmony for the good of the college, re-
gardless of individual feelings and separate
personalities. Our harmony and coopera-
tion are increasing, but they must do so more
and more. It is plainly an untruth to say
we cannot "put our house in order We
have done it, and we will do it again. We
have the possibilities, equipment, intellect
and ability to make this the best teachers

first full-year president, and it is this re-

If he tries and doesn't get away with it, he's
a brute;
It' he doesn't try to kiss her but would get
away with it if he tried, he's a coward;
But if he doesn't try to kiss her and wouldn't
get away with it if he did, he's a wise
man.

WITH THE ARMED FORCES
By Rosalie Broun
Former business manager of this
paper, Harry "Shacky" Jarvis, seems to be
doing all right over in Australia. Already
he has induced some signal corps photo-
grapher to take his picture (along with sev-
eral others! and send it back to the States.
The tan he is sporting looks quite good, too.
It seems that King Neptune gets all his
mail, however, or else people just aren't
writing to him. "I think the country is
beautiful although it isn't as modern as the
Slates. I've been to a couple of dances and
I can see the American influence very easily,
especially in their jitterbugging. Some are
as good as any Americans I've seen. The
food here is fine and I've never eaten as
much fruit in my life Incidentally he saw
"Fighting Doug" soon after he got over
there.
Lt. G. E. (Mike) Barber, Jr. was
stationed in Corsica the last time I heard
anything via Dr. Flanagan. He has been
getting the TECO ECHO regularly and says
he really appreciates it. "We have been
stationed in Corsica for a short while, and
I am very pleased. The island is beautiful,
but people here are hard pressed. I've seen
Napoleon's birthplace He wrote.
Pvt. Norwood Jones is across the pond
tangling with the natives of New Caledonia
according to a recent letter. He says he is
in fine health and thinks he is surrounded by
pretty country, but "I'd much rather be back
in the States. These islands aren't like the
ones you see in Dorothy Lamour's pictures.
I've been looking for one like that but haven't
been able to find it. The moon looks very
romantical, but there's nothing here to get
romantical with. I've never seen such
a large male population in my life He
writes. At the time of his letter Norwood
was in meteorology school.
A letter to the staff reveals to us the
where-a-bouts of one PFC Arthur L. Jack-
S(Jdeep in the Ozarks in Camp
Crowder. I guess you've heard of the 'play-
ground of the Ozarks Well, this isn't it
Says Arthur. He is taking a course in tele-
phone repair, and is already assigned to a
combat outfit and expects to see action soon
after completion of his course. Incidentally
action looks like good duty compared to the
Ozarks.
Lt. Colonel Robert A. (Bob) Eason is
now on duty at Camp Howze, Texas. He
received his degree in science and history
here in 1935. Lt. Colonel Eason was a mem-
ber of the Greenville National Guard and
left town with that unit and went to Camp
Jackson, S. C, where he was promoted in
1942 from captain to major. After Camp
Jackson he was transferred to Fort Sill,
Oklahoma, where in 1943 he was promoted
to rr.nk of lieutenant-colonel.

By The Keyhole Korrespondent
School is out A few tears, sorrowful
goodbyes and one or two yip�yip hurrahs.
i�'� r the most part, the scumming-makers are
sorry to bid adieu to ye fair institute. At
an rate, ye keyhole korrespondent is sorry
to see all the dirt swept clean until another
year. Oh well, there's always summer
school. Some consolation!
Daphne Donnerson and Beverly Cutler
are now going around with that panic-
stricken I�won't�see�you�'til�next�
year look. Parting is such sweet sorrow, so
they say.
Have Hel Boyette and Jack Edwards
decided that an old flame never dies? 'Pears
that way. (Say, is Hennie Cooper trying to
make this a trio?)
During her stay at the infirmary Jerry
Albritton certainly brightened up things
with Lts candy and flowers.
Why has Jane Hardy been throwing
daggers at Frances Page? It couldn't be
because of one Pat Patterson, could it? Why
worry, Jane? You have loads more on your
string. Oh yes, Frances, you seem to like
Pat quite a bit, don't you ?
Inez McCaskill has finally hooked that
man-about-Ragsdale Charlie Tripp. Con-
grats, Inez.
Speaking of true gals, nobody ever
mentions Dorothy Jean Creech. A truer,
I've never seen. Orchids to you, Dot.
Why don't Dot Peebles, Mary Lou Ay-
cock and Ethel Smith fight over Layton
Clark???? Aren't y'all gonna miss him this
summer???? By the way, Ethel, why don't
you get a man of your own, and lay off of
other gals???
Band practice certainly provides a won-
derful opportunity for Blondie Kennedy and
Randolph "Saxie" Mixon to throw love
notes in music. Doris Lee, aren't you glad
that high school bill passed? You couldn't

Hiram can't you make up your mind
between Mickey and Catherine? You better
hurry and choose one fore the army gets you
and you don't have either one.
Playboy Bill Lee has at last ventured
into the business world of roller skates, We
wish you hearty success, Mr. Lee, but don't

Summer Time�Is yours going to be a
work summer or a play summer? Uncle
Sam urges that it be WORK. But that work
in itself might be a division from the old
grind of test, themes, reports, projects and
the million and one other tasks which make
school one big headache.
The old-timey way of securing a deep,
deep tan come summer, was to hot-foot it to
the beach for a day, a week-end or a summer
stay. Xow if you want a deep tan by
patriotic methods, you might try a summer
session with Farmer Brown, or your own
Dad, be you from the wide open spaces. All
the fashion magazines show for Miss Farm-

Promotions of Alumni in Service
Recent announcements of promo-
tions of alumni in service stir the
pride of the Alumni association,
which extends congratulations to
these newest winners of advance-
ment as well as to the other hundreds
whose training here has enabled
them to go steadily forward in mili-
tary ranks. Some late promotions
noted, are:
Bob Eason to lieutenant-colonel,
Charles King from lieutenant to
lieutenant-commander. Francis Jen-
nings to lieutenant-colonel, a n d
Fodie Hodges to first leiutenant.
V. B. Harris of Greenville was
commissioned an Ensign in the U. S.
Naval Reserve when he graduated
recently from the Naval Training
School for' midshipmen at Abbott
Hall, Northwestern university. Chi-
cago, 111.
His completed three-month course
consisted of navigation, seamanship
and gunnery. The newly commis-
sioned Ensign will now see action
with the fleet as a deck officer.
Daughters, Sons
Of ECTC Alumni
Continue Work
During the year the Alumni
Daughters and Sons have been look-
ing into the past to compare the
work of their mothers, when they at-
tended East Carolina Teachers col-
lege, with the work they themselves
are doing today. Many of them were
doing war work here during the first
world war. Several students have
discovered interesting and amusing
facts. For instance, Martha Strawn
found that her mother, the former
Lila Faircloth, was quite an actress
while in school. She had the lead in
the play, "The Romancers Elizabeth
Bridgers discovered that her mother,
formerly Essie Whichard of Green-
ville, was a member of the first pro-
duction given at this college; she
played the part of a black cat.

Allegiance Service
By Class Of '44
Tin incoming alumni, the class of
1944, will hold mi the west campus
on Saturday afternoon at 6:30 the
Allegiance Service which, though
only five years old, is now considered!

graduates to loyal allegiance to their
Alma Mater was originated by Miss
Estelle McClees while Alumni secre-
tary, and was first used by the class
of 1940, "f which Mr. Clifton Britton
the president and Professor
Ralph Deal was the adviser.
This year Mr. Deal will again par-
ticipate in the service, for he is ad-
viser to the class of 1914. Miss
Dorothy Pearsall, who was vice-
president "f the class and is now ser-
ving as president, since the ex-presi-
dent, Dave Owens, was recently in-

monial.
MUSIC RECITAL
Music students from the classes of
Miss Con ell and Mr. Frisher were
presented in a joint recital in Miss

To our program committee, Mrs.

ter, we give much credit for a suc-
cessful year. In September, a busi-
ness meeting was held after which
Miss Mary Loo Butner had charge of -
a recreational period. At the Octo-
ber. November and December meet-
ings bridge was enjoyed. The De-
cember meeting was held with Mrs.
J. M. N'ewsom and was a benefit
bridge. In January 1944, the pro-
gram consisted of four guest speak-
ers who are students at State col-
lege. Three of the young men are
native South Americans and the other
one has traveled extensively in South
America. These speakers who
brought to us a discussion of Pas-
American relations along with the
history and geography of Chile.
The March meeting consisted of
business and the playing of bridge.

its part. It behaved nicely for two
months; then it balked. Maybe it
thought its long years of service en-
titled it to a vacation. The Office
said. "No�a war's on and Mr.

And Ruby Hudson keeps typing-

Conti'iiucd from Page One
Sun pulled their facinorous attack on
Pearl Harbor. When practice was
over and you came out the warm De-
camber air greeted you and you felt ;
wonderful because it was the seventh!
of December and school would be out j
for Christmas holidays soon. But
ur friends who had the news, the �
pitifully few, inaccurate flashes that
could be picked up, ran to tell you with1
� eir eyes full of disbelief and horror
your impregnable, secure world
crumbled. You couldn't visualize
your brothers, sweethearts, friends
in uniforms fighting like your Dad
hack in 191T. You didn't need
to though, because in your mind you
knew some were too young, others
were already in shipyards and im-
portant business, and college. They
wouldn't have to go.
Everyone insisted, however, that
it would take two years for us to
prepare ourselves fo rany kind of a
fight at all. Som. how you got
through the first year with quite a
mixture of emotional attitudes. You
wanted to stop school and do your
share. But something stronger than I
your patriotic urges kept you in ,
school. You were introduced to ra- j
turning, black outs, bandage rolling,
and men in uniforms.
The war had touched you in many
ways. For some it meant giving up
your loved ones to training camps,
overseases duty, and death. For all
it meant disspencing with daydreams
and illusions of a short, easy war.

Players Express
Thanks For Help
From Outsiders
BY CURTIS BUTLER
The Chi Pi players like most other
i organizations is not self-sufficient,
but rather depends on the combined
efforts of the so-called outsiders and
�he regular members. In fact, with-
ut the aid given by these non-mem-
hera the club could not possibly have
made the progress which it has made
in the past. By this it is not meant
fhat the members have fallen down
in their responsibilities, for just the
opposite is true. But reference is
made mainly to that help which em-
anates from without the club.
Our greatest source of cooperation
and encouragement is, of course, the
student body and those from Green-
ville and elsewhere who are the regu-
lar attenders of our performances. It
is they who help our account books
avoid the "red It is they, too, who
give the needed confidence and
praise�first by their presence at the
productions and later by the many ex-
pressions of approval.
To our most patient and under-
- landing adviser we owe a debt of
gratitude which could not be paid in
all the rest of years of the existence
of the club. Yes, Miss Powers has
been wonderful. Her problems have
been unlimited. Yet she has come
through them all with flying colors.
She has been a vital, compromising
and practical influence to our club.
We owe much to the kind and '�
! patient assistance of several mem
hers of the faculty and residents of
Greenville who have acted as judges
in the tryouts for our plays. These!
are important occasions for doubt-
lessly the success or failure of a pro
duction depends upon the care and
kill used in the selection of the mem-
bers of the cast. Our judges in the
past have done exceptionally good
work.
Miss Ruth Oncley, our director, has
become as much one of us that we al-
most forget to pause and give to her
I the praise she worthily deserves.
Hers has been the task of almost liv-
ing with us from 6:30-10:00 or 12:00
; each night�laughing at our corny
! jokes, humoring our whims, suffer-
! ing through our numerous mistake?
and even working on scenery and
make-up as if she were one of us.
We are not forgetting her tireless ef- j
forts to make our plays hit per-
iormances
To these and all others who have
at any time given us aid and support
�financial, physical, or moral�we
wish to express our heartiest thanks.
To you we owe the continuance of our
organization.
