She has always been interested in
art. Even at the early age of six she
showed an interest in art by design-
ing and making Christmas cards as
well as many other things.
Her favorite pastimes are photo-
graphy, golf and painting with water
colors. What she likes most, how-
ever, is hiking. Miss Lane thorough-
ly enjoys walking through the woods
and observing nature, especially dur-
ing the fall, when the forest is in one
of its most beautiful stages. She
thinks the trees on the college cam-
pus are lovely and she admires the
Spanish moss, which grows in pro-
fusion on the trees.

slavia, the bombing of Belgrade and
the fall of Greece. He also saw the
fall of Crete, the drive in the Middle
East and the arrival of the Robin
Moor survivors in Cape Town.
Sent To England
Robert St. John returned to the
United States in 1941 and soon went
again to Europe, this time to Eng-
land. But he did not make his second
wartime trip abroad until he had
written in three weeks what has been
called the grisliest book to come out
of the war, "From the Land of Silent
People
In England he was an eye witness
to the devastating air blitz unloosed
on Britain by the Luftwaffe. There
he spent many nights in air-raid
shelters; in Canterbury he helped dig
for air raid victim. From England
St. John broadcast to the United
States.
Hardships
His wartime adventures have not
been without danger and hardship.
Strafed, bombed and machine-gun-
ned, he has narrowly missed death
many times and still'carries a Nazi
bullet in his leg�a memento of the
Grecian campaign.
But his adventures have come not
only from the war. Years ago in
the" "heyday" of Chicago's notorious
Al Capone, St. John was beaten,
thrown in a ditch and left for dead
by Capone's henchmen because he at-
tempted to expose the gangster in
a weekly he was oditing in Cicero.
Illinois.
Impressive Beard
St. John, who is ! asily recognizable
because of his impressive beard and
mustache, is conceded to have one of
the best voices in radio. He broad-
casts for the National Broadcasting
company.
In his lectures Robert St. John pre-
sents a graphic picture of what war
is really like, givei his views on the
progress of the conflict and urges
� upon America the necessity for all-
lout effort. Anecdotes from his own
'i experiences .n 17 countries make his
I talks vivid and personal.

Recently, Miss Lane, accompanied
by some of her students, collected
various types of berries, moss, ferns
and other forms of wild plant-life in
woods. They have been arranged
beautifully and are now on display
throughout the art department.
Besides art, Miss Lane is interested
in music and Juvenile books. It was
through her interest in the latter that
she was led to the work of junior art
editor and assistant producer of the
J. B. Lippincott Publishing company

Red Cross Praises

The following letter was received
from the War Department by the
Pitt County chapter of the American
Red Cross in regard to the surgical

discontinued for the present time:

effort in providing surgical dress-
ings for the army. These surgical

The Pitt County chapter of the
American Red Cross wishes to ex-
press its appreciation to the East
Carolina Teachers college students
and teachers for their cooperation in
doing this fine job. The War De-
partment has stated that since the
surgical dressing program is discon-
tinued for some time to come, plans
are being made now for another pro-
gram in which the students can par-
ticipate. Whatevei this new plan
may be, it is hoped that the students
will be just as willing to help make
it a success as they did the surgical

Teco Echo Celebrates
19th Anniversary
With the publication of this Issue the
TECO ECHO celebiutes its nineteenth anni-
versary�1925-1944.
In these 19 years many changes have
come about in the appearance of the paper
and in the quality and style of writing. At
first the paper was almost a solid mass of
print with little headlines display and very
few pictures. Today the situation is almost
reversed�the paper is literary a mass of
headlines and pictures with much less print.
The TECO ECHO has been awarded
numerous awards by newspaper critical ser-
vices. In 1940 it was given a rating of
"excellent and last year it was rated as
"All-American
The staffs of the TECO ECHO, both
past and present, are indeed proud of this
record.
Boys' Dormitory
In Need Of Repairs
At the beginning of this quarter the
floors in the boys' dormitory were painted,
and several new doors were put up. At that
time a promise was made to have the walls
painted and other improvements made dur-
ing the Christmas holidays�if the boys
would take good care of the building during
this quarter.
The boys' dormitory has been badly in
need of repair for a long lime. It seems
that nothing has been done about it before
because the boys apparently were not in-
clined to take care of the property. For this
reason the place was allowed to get in a very
run-down condition, and living conditions
dropped to a level definitely lower than
should be found in a first-class college.
However, when the dormitory is in such
a bad state, there is little or no incentive for
the boys to take care of things. In other
words, if the college doesn't provide good
living quarters, the boys can't be expected
to take the best care of the facilities that are
provided.
According to Mr. Smiley, dean of men,
the men students have done well in keeping
things in good order this quarter. There
have, however, been some instances in
which this attitude of good conduct has not
existed. It would seem only reasonable to
believe that boys who are old enough to be
in college would be over that "destructive
age" and would be eager to take care of the
property of others. Let us hope that, any-
way.
Need To Conserve
Heat And Electricity
Mr. F. D. Duncan, treasurer and busi-
ness manager of the college, has requested
the cooperation of the faculty and staff in
the conservation of heat and electricity in
the various buildings on the campus.
The older buildings require much more
heat to make them comfortable than do the
newer buildings and even different Locations
in the same building require varying
amounts of heat. For this reason, he pointed
out, it is unavoidable that sonic of the mail-
ings should receive more heal than neces-
sary. If a room or office should become
overheated, it will be better to close the
radiator valves than to open a indow�thus
conserving the heat.
According to Mr. Duncan the electric
bill for the college amounts to almost
$1,000.00 a month and is mounting steadily.
It will help a great deal if everyone will co-
operate by turning off any lights in the
classrooms, offices or dormitory rooms when
they are not being used.
Red Cross Praises Work
Of ECTC Girls
A letter praising the ECTC girls for
their work in the Red Cross surgical dress-
ings room was received this week from the
Pitt County chapter of the American Red
Cross.
As a result of the efforts of these volun-
teers and that of many others, the Red Cross
has been able to supply the enormous de-
mands of the army for surgical dressings.
Because the huge demands fai exceeds the
capacity of the industrial facilities of this
country, it was necessary to call for volun-
teers among the civilian population of the
country.
In commenting on this work we can
merely say "A good job well done

The game was a thriller all the
way, with the Aces taking a slight
early lead and the Barons coming
back in the fourth quarter to chal- 5:30 p. m
lenge that slight lead. Both team
held a tight defense and the offen-

hockey tournament. The first game
was played last week, and Fleming
won by a score of 2-1. Rain has pre-
vented all but of the scheduled
games.
There have been 28 persons out for
this sport from all the dormitories,
with Fleming having the most par-
ticipants and Jarvis running close
second. In spite of the stiff com-
petition of the rain ,the season has
been very successful thus far ac-
cording to the opinion of those who
have gone out.

Dance club will be held sometime af-

count on your support?

TOM WILLIAMS
SYBIL BEAM AN
Williams, Beaman Head
Staffs Of Teco Echo
Tom William of Greenville is
serving as editor-in-chief of the
TF.ro ECHO for 1944-46. This is
the sixth consecutive year in which
a student from Greenville has edited
the TECO ECHO.
Tom early manifested an interest
the field of journalism. During
his junior year in high school he was
associate editor ol the Greenville
high school newspaper, GREEN
LIGHTS. While a senior he was
managing editor of the GREEN
LIGHTS as well as editor-in-chief of
the school annual. He was also a
member of the Beta club and of the
Quil and Scroll, honorary journalism
society.
Tom. who is now a junior, joined
the TECO ECHO staff in the spring
of 1942; last year he was associate
editor.
He is a member of the Chi fi play-
er. Phi Sigma Pi fraternity and Pi
Omega Pi fraternity. He is also on
the Publications board and the Stu-
dent Cooperative council.
Sybil Beaman from New Bern is

Publication Began
On Teco Echo
nineteen Years Ago
Hus issue ot the TECO ECHO
marks the nineteenth anniversary of
the founding of the paper.
The TECO ECHO was begun dur-
ing the fall quarter of 1125. and the
first issue was published on Decem-
ber 19 of that year. Miss Deanie
Boone Haskett, a Greenville studtnt
and now a critic teacher in English
I in Greenville high school, was the
first editor. Miss Mamie Jenkins
was the faculty adviser to the edi-
torial staff, and M. L. Wright was
the business adviser.
The first publication of the college
was the "East Carolina Training
School Quarterly� which wa first
published in 1914. In 1920 the State
Legislature changed the name of the
school t'rm East Carolina Training
school to Last Carolina Teachers
college. Due to a lack of funds the
publication of the "Teachers College
Quarterly" was terminated in 1923.
For a short time "The News Let-
ter a small tabloid-type paper ad-
dressed mainly to the alumnae, was
published.
It was very interesting to look back
Ithrough the filer oi the TECO ECHO
: and observe the fashions of yester-
year. To -ay that styles have
changed in the past 20 years would
be putting it mildly. Back in those
medieval days the girls wore dresses
thai reached almost to their ankles
' and hats that would bo a disgrace to
body's wash woman. The dresses
and coat were not the form-fitting,
figure-flattering kind worn today,
but, instead, were very plain and
like a bean pole and decidedly unat-
traijjhl cut. The mad a girl look
tractive (at hast in the eyes of the
eves of the present-day casanovas).
Sn.ee 1 t TECO ECHO has
n edited by Greenville students
entirely. Several times the paper has
won second-place and first-place
honor ratings from various critical
services. It was awarded a rating
of excellent in 1940, when Mary
Home was i lit r. Last year under
the editor-hip of Maribell Robertson
Moore the TECO Hi HO was given an
All-American rating by the Associ-
ate d Collegiate press.
James Whitfield, who was editor
during the school year 1940-41, was
reelected for a second term, thus be-
coming the first and only student to
I e oh ct for two terms as editor of
the paper. However, Uncle Sam in-
tervened, and James was drafted at
the beginning of hi- second term.

small wonder.
As if all these luxuries weren't
enough to make any editor feel
heaven-bound, your editor has a real
staff one that is the last word in
efficiency, in promptness, in de-
pendability, in everything. Each
member of 'he staff hands in his'
stories promptly, well-written, cor
' redly punctuated practically perfect
stories in every way.
Well, I've had my dream now. So
let's come down out of the clouds and
face tin reality of the situation. The
staff room, to start with, is probably
the dreariest looking room on the
campus. The editor feels very grati-
fied if one-fourth of the members of
the staff attend the staff meetings
(whereas, the staff feel equally grati-
fied to have the editor attend the (
meetings).
To say that all stories are handed
in on time is the grossest exaggeration
of facts that we can imagine. In
fact, if by a miracle all the stories
should come in on time just once, tha
shock would be so great that the "ed"
would immediately pass from this
earth. Realizing tnis, the staff very
graciously refrains from this last act,
for naturally th y would hate to see
the "dear ol' editor" kick the bucket.
