Dr. McGinnis had the announce- ment made at the breakfast table and ed the students to assemble. A memorial service, prayer, song and reading of the scriptures�beau- tiful in its simplicity�was held in the Austin Assembly Hall at noon.

This is the highest honor that any college paper can receive in the United States. In order to get this rating the papers are judged by their editorials, make-up and contents. The papers are judged once a year. The Teco Echo has received ratings which the student body has been proud of, but this is the second time that it has ever received the superior rating. Due to the death of the editor-in- chief, Tom Williams, in January, this rating means even more. Tom set out for the tfoal which we are trying to reach, and it was through his pa- tient guidance that he staff has tried to carry out his high ideals since his death. Much credit goes to those on the staff who have continued to write stories, type, etc. Therefore, with the honor of the superior rating, the students should try to keep it. Since we have reached the top, let's stay there. This is not only a credit to the staff members but to the college. Through this rating the college has become known all over the United States. Our papers are sent to most of the leading colleges of the United States to be criticized by their staff as we criticize theirs.

Foremost in a lot of our minds was the question what will we do? It is not a question of what will we do�We must and w ill carry on just as before. We must show outlaw President we are 100 for him. The seventh war loan drive is coming up. Lets show him that we are helping all we can by buying stamps ami bonds. Instead of buying that coco cola and sandwich lets buy stamps . You can do without that dress for a war bond. The more -tamps and bonds we buy the sooner this war will come to an end and then we can settle into that way of life we love. Until then, lets back our President in every way we know how. Students Ravish Campus By Plucking Flowers Now that it is Spring and all the flowers arc beginning to bloom lets not mar the beauty f the campus by walking along and picking a flower or two to put in our heair or carry along in our hands a block or two before we drop it on the ground. If each student picked just one flower a .lay why. that would be over 800 flowers in on day. At that rate our campus would soon be bar and unattractive looking. East Carolina Teachers College is well known for its lovely campus. Much time and work has been spent in planning and mak- ing our campus beautiful. So. fellow stu- dents lets do all we can to keep it that way. a thing to be proud of always. him your order (paying strict attention to his pocketbook, of course), and he will in turn give both yours and his orders to the waiter. Hint No. 2 might well be to show some consideration for the poor men who have to -taiid while you stand and visit with a wo- man at their table. If you have a message, give it to your girl friend as you brush by, no to your other acquaintances, and pass on so quickly that the men will have had time to do nothing more than make the gesture f startiiig to rise. You will be wise to show some consi- deration for those who serve you too, since discourtesy on your part would indicate that your dignity was very insecure. Maybe these hints will help in your little campaign. Hope you get your man�and keep him ! Student on the Stand STUDENT SPOTLIGHT M Be � !uni S CUM MING By The KeykoU Korrcspondent STOP' LOOK: LISTEN!
