To meet this situation there ar
group of trained patriotic and pro-
gr� ssive leaders. They did not look
to I he outside for help. They believed
that North Carolina could within one
generation tranform her whole mode
, f life and social outlook. Among the
men who had faith in our people and
their possibilities were Joseph Cald-
well, David L. Swain, William A.
Graham. John M. Morehead. Dobbin
and Calvin Graves. As they analyzed
the situation, they came to the con-
clusion that the whole .situation could
be changed by doing two things:
providing a system of transportation,
and setting up a system of common
schools.
There were two schools of political
thought -opposite in their views and
vi. lent in their attitudes. There were
the progressive and the reactionaries.

CHAPEL COMMITTEE
ELECTED TUESDAY
Tuesday, May SI, the student body

The Seniors held their class day
exercises at the lake Saturday after-
day afternoon. June 4. The class
presented a pageant, -The Fountain
4' Ail the Muses
The theme for the pageant was sug-
gested by the gift of the graudating
classes which is the pool in Wright's
Circle to be made into a fountain in
the future. This fountain is a symbol
of the fountain of learning that East
Carolina Teachers College has come
to be for the seniors.
The pageant was arranged by Lel'ia
Ellen Belk; the grecian costumes
worn bv the characters were designed
by My'ra Scull. Mrs. P. W. Piekle-
simer directed the dances, and Mr.
R. C. Deal, the class adviser, coached
the pageant.
The story of the pageant is as fol-
lows. The Class of 1932 in search of
the eluding goal comes upon the
Spirit-of-AU-the-Years at the foun-
tain of learning. The Spirit-of-All-
the-Years promises to help the Class
in her quest by calling Musagetes, the
leader of the Muses to come and bring
with him his Muses who will lend
their inspiration and guidance. Even
as the Muses came to the Pieran foun-
tain in days of old, so they come to-
day to the fountains of learning. The
ancient Muses who were the goddesses
of the graces of civilization come and
offer their rich heritages of the past
to the Class. Calliope offers her
store of epic poetry, Euterpe brings
the jov of lyric verse; Erato, the
beauty of love; Thalia and Terpsichore
offer comedy and dance; Melpomene
brings the wealth of Greek tragedy;
Clio, the Muse of history, the volumes
of the past; Polyhymnia, the peace of
sacred song; and Uranio, the science
of the heavens. These Muses help the
Class but they bring only heritages
of the past; and she needs guidance
for the future. Musagetes then sum-
mons the modern Muses who come

TO OCR PRESIDENT
AND ADVISER
Wo wish to express our ap-
preciation and love to Nannie
Smith, president of our class, and
to Mr. R. C. Deal, adviser of our
class, for the never failing service
and devotion that they have shown
us.
The Annual Vesper Service of the
Young Women's Christian Associa-
tion were held on the woodland stage
on West Campus on Sunday evening
at the twilight hour. The girls tak-
ing part in the pageant, "A Litany of
Comradeship were selected by secret
ballot from the Student Body. The
Spirit of the Y. W. C. A. was repres-
ented by the retiring President, Cullie
Stafford. Ethel Parker, the new
President, took the part of Love.
Songs, anthems, and prayers made
the service more impressive. The
costumes, long white flowing robes
added to the grandeur of the occasion.
The Prelude to the litany was read
by Elizabeth Denney. Other charac-
ters were: The Spirits of Friendli-
ness, Wrae Ward; of Co-operation,
Prances Newsome; of Trust, Nell
Shaw ;of Courage, Millie Moore; of
Joy, Tucker Lynch; of Sympathy, Joy
Pickard; of Understanding, Ella
Moore; of Helpfulness, Marjorie Grif-
fin; of Loyalty, Iris Flythe; of Ser-
vice, Margaret Murchison; of Sincere-
itv. Annie Clara Baker. No one ex-
cept the President and Ex-President
of the Association, the advisers, and
the characters knew who the charac-
ters were until they stepped into the
woodland stage.
Just before the Recessional, the Y.
W. sang "Follow the Gleam taps
were sung.
It has become traditional at East
Carolina Teachers College to present
this pageant every year, and the v?ry
repetition of the theme endears it to
every student's heart.
President Wright, on
Itvered his final address
the student body. Ail
semhled in the Campus
12:00 to hear the parting won
President.
Mr. Wright's speech follows:
I am glad to conn- t the end of tins
year as SUCCessfullyaS we have come.
I make it a point during the last week
of college to talk to the students be-
cause there are a few things I want
to say to you that do not care to say-
to the public at Commencement;
things that are just a little closer to
me than that. We have had a very-
difficult year. Viewed from the
standpoint of finances it has been the
most difficult year I have ever experi-
enced. To finance the- college ami
keep it going without doing serious
damage to the student body has made
it a most difficult year. But the
splendid spirit that has been shown by
the faculty, officers, and stud-nt body
has taken off every bit of the but den
that could be taken off. It is really
a privilege to work with the type of
people it has been my privilege to
work with this year.
The people of North Carolina are
determined more than ever before to
give to their children the very best
possible educational opportunities.
Right now we are in a period of re-
organization and adjustment, and we
haven't adjusted ourselves. This is
making a number of difficult places.
The county superintendents are hav-
ing the hardest job they have ever
had; and city superintendents, also.
Principals of schools and teachers are
carrying heavier loads than ever be-
fore. But the splendid spirit with
which they are meeting the situation
makes one feel perfectly sure we are
going to carry on. Some of you may-
be saying What's the use of training
to teach? We won't get jobs That
isn't going to be true very long. In
all probability you who are in the
Freshman class will find the situation
quite different when you graduate.
North Carolina is making a greater
sacrifice than we realize to educate
the children of the State. There are
only one and one-half grown people
back of every child of school age in
North Carolina, or at least that is
the figure in 1930. In the nation as
a whole there were 2.31 back of every
child of school age. This means that
three people in North Carolina must
educate two children and 4.62 people
in the nation must educate two chil-
dren. The per capita wealth in North
is $1,737. The wealth per capita in
the nation as a whole is $2,977. This
means that one and one-half people
with $1,737 must do the work of 2.31
people with $2,977. When we look
at it from that angle we realize that j
the State is doing a greal deal, rela-

DENT FIND
1
On June , the books of the Stu-
dent Fund were audited. The audit
shows that the income from fee-
was somewhat less this year than
last, but that the amount available
for the campus organizations and
for entertainments was not less.
Two facts account for this. There
were no payments, except the an-
nual fee, on the Vitaphone; and
the gate receipts amount to near-
ly a thousand more this year than
last. Below is a copy of the audit.

LOOKING FORWARD
"Be not the first by whom the
new are tried nor yet the last to
lav the old aside It is not wise to
jump "headlong" into a thing be-
fore it has been tried by others.
On the other hand we should be
willing to put away old ideas and
opinions along with the world. We
should advance as others advance
so that the movement will go for-
ward steadily and advantageously
to the world at large. If the pio-
neers who blazed the dangerous
trails of the west had gone one by
one, their cause would have been
lost.
As we hear about new theories in
education, if they have been tried
and found to be better than the
old ones, let us put them into prac-
tice in our own lives. Forget the
idea of conservativeness and be
progressive. Open up the road for
others and make the light gleam
just a little brighter before those
who are to follow.

SCRIBBLERS SCRAWL
The Scribblers may scrawl.
they accomplish things all i
the while. Last fall the editor I
ial staff at the colle.ee publica-
tion organized a club for repor-
ters of organizations and for all
these interested in journalism.
The meetings were all pertain-
ing to facilitation of work on the
Teco Echo, and from the char-
ter members was chosen the
L932-33 editorial staff of the
newspaper.
Although the Scribblerstub
is riot yet a year old, it offered
its services to Dr. Wright and
the College as a Bureau of pub-
H. rhe offer of one oi the
newest campus organizations to
ih lake a most di.fi icult and
exacting ; iece of work v. as ac-j
ted by President Wright, who
oraised those who had made such
an undertaking possible.
Members of the club have
drafted a Constitution, making
membership honorary and pro-
dding for a study of journalism
in its carious phases. The Scrib-
blers will continue to function
with the Teco Echo, but new re-
porters will be chosen by the
Scribblers, and the Editorial
Staff, instead of by the organi-
zation they will represent.
Few organizations have ever
before proven themselves cap-
able of undertaking such a pro-
ject at the end of a few years.
and it is doubtful that any has
gone so far in one.
The Scribblers may scrawl,
and you may not be acquainted
with the organization, but its in-
fluence is being fell more and
more.
o�
IT IS NOT FAREWELL�BUT
ONLY A CHANGE
we don't know the rules of
etiquette.
Experience has taught us that
kve hould not bid farewell lo
m college newspaper. There is
no ot hei organization or publica-
tion on the campus that needs
co-operation and assistance
aft r we have graduated as the
; v co Echo does, or on that
teeds the assistance of the entire
Alumnae s much as it. First
t' al! ii needs financial aid. it
teeds subscribers! We worked
c ir . issue a paper every
reek, bu1 financial conditions
i feated us. However, we hope
hat next year this dream will be'
realized, bul without the sup-
port of the Alumnae it will be
impossible.
in addition to the financial
tid e can 1 enefit I he college
. , other ways by subscribing for
hi tievs spap r of our Alma
Vlater. The Administrative of-
ficers and the officers of the
Alumnae Association can more
asi! reai h us w ith the an-
nounce m nts and facts about
commencement, Founders' Day,
md Summer School. I his will
lielp to make the Alumnae As-
sociation more efficient by en-
abling ii to keep a more accurate
!t c nl and roll. And. then, ar-
iiing Ihrough the mail each
, eek lui iny I he fall, w inter, and
si ri Lerms, will appeal- the
n ws and accounts of the growth
and progress of E. C. 1 C.
It �il! be an account of the
mm rtainment; and student ac-
iviiies. The leading stores in
Gre nville advertise in the Teco
Echo. Those of us who live near
i ugh to shop in Greenville will
certainly find it valuable; even
tgh W will not be called a
ol girl again, we will still be
di sing like one and trying to
be one too. And we will con-
tinue to go to the same drug
d oi ��� and pict ures.
Twice each year special edi-
tion of the Teco Echo are issued
for the Alumnae. They are sent
, . forniei students hose ad-
�: i. , can be found. Because
v e iia e pulled our hair in i renzy
I1 yiia- Lo get news of i he Alum-
nae to put in i he Teco Echo, and
because afti r pulling our hair,
many times we said Susie had
two children when it was really
Jane that had them, and we said
Mary married .John when she
iad nol marrh d John at all but
had married Pete. To be sure
that I'mure editors never give us
somebody else's children, and
uevei marry us to someone else s
husband we are going to always
give them correct information
about ourselves. Alumnae are
-iiil a part of the college. We
are not leaving it. and we are
nol going to bid our college
newspaper farewell. We are
using the space and ink to
pron ise the Teco Echo our sup-
jiori and cooperation next year.
li is not a farewell but a change!
This year we have tried to train
the new staff how to swim be-
fore we plunge them into a bot-
tomless pit.
We have prepared a room that
is .situated where every member
of the staff may use it; we have
placed in it magazines, pamph-
lets, handbooks, annuals and
catalogues that we know will be
useful to the future staffs. We
are leaving a more complete
mailing list than we found.
To the new staff we have
passed on our hope of having
weekly papers, our endeavors to
get subscriptions from the
Alumnae, and our ideal of print-
ing a paper that expresses stu-
dent opinions and gives campus
news that is interesting to the
students. We feel confident
that they will make a good
voyage with the Teco Echo next
year. The things we see in the
distant skies they will reach out
and bring to earth. Our dreams
will become their realities!
THE CHALLENGE OF THE
GRADUATE
Th
DON VOYAGE
ickiner clock" reminds us
"You get to write your fare-
well speech in this Teco Echo
don't you?" That question has
been asked the outgoing staff a
great number of times recently
and when we answer that wi
have no farewell speech to sa
"the question askers" look at u-
sympathetieally believing thai
thai it is time for the last issue
of this year's Teco Echo to go to
press. In our last message we
would like to wish the new staff
a go a oyage next year. After
all, three months is only a short
while and soon they will be dip-
ing their pens into printers ink
and the Teco Echo will make its
regular appearance.
We feel that in handing over
our job to our successors we are
handing over an incomplete
work. We are so far from our
foal as Ear from having real-
ize! our visions thai we hesitate
in saying that we have had a
successful year. However, when
we look back where we started
from we find that we are as far
from the starting place as we are
from the goal.
Oliver W. Holmes said. "The
�neat thine' in this world is not
o much where we stand but in
which direction we are going
According to that philosophy,
we feel that we can truly look
back, and say we have had a suc-
cessful year. After all we feel
that there are many things we
are leaving better than we found
them.
First of all we have organized
a club in which students may get
the necessary training in news-
paper work. Two or three years
ago when a shower of hands in
mass meeting proclaimed us
(liters of the Teco Echo we felt
like we had been thrown into the
iver and told to sink or swim,
md it took a great deal of kick-
ing for some of us to survive.
The success of any big bus-
iness depends largely upon the
products of the enterprise. Com-
modities that pour forth from
such an organization build its
reputation and the reputation of
its leaders. The future achieve-
ments, therefore, are dependent
upon the present product.
Thomas A. Edison did not make
his reputation�the value and
quality of his inventions estab-
lished his name so firmly in his-
tory that no future, no matter
how distant, will ignore it. The
ford built Henry Ford's reputa-
tion; and so it is with all such
business.
And just as the products of
the business world build the
great business organizations so
the graduate builds her College
All the sacrifices and powers of
the devoted leadership of Dr.
Wright, all the visions and ser-
vices of a dedicated faculty and
officers of administration, and
all the confidence of the people
of North Carolina are imperson-
ated in the graduates of East
Carolina Teachers College.
It would be well for every
graduate to pause before she
graduates, and think how great-
ly she is responsible for the fu-
ture of her Alma Mater. This
College owes a great deal to the
school children of North Car-
olina and she depends upon her
graduates to pay this debt by
teaching in the public schools of
the state, and giving to the chil-
dren the training that is essen-
tial to them in building charac-
ter and in becoming good citi-
zens.
The wise graduate will re
member that while she is leaving
the walls of the College she is
not leaving the part that makes
the real institution because she
is taking that with her. And
when she meets the challenge of
her Alma Mater, she will accept
it and do her part in building the
future of her College.

bringing their gifts of the present.
The modern Muses challenge the
seniors to come and follow the call of
Music, Art, Literature, Physical Cul-
ture, History, Science, Mathematics,
Business, and Government. As each
Muse offers her challenge a group of
seniors accepts and follows her.
Lelia Ellen Belk took the part of
the Spirit-of-All-the- Years. Nannie
Smith, president of the class, was the
Class of 1932, and Marjorie Flythe
played the part of Musagetes, the
leader of the Muses.
The lake made a very picturesque
setting for the pageant. Of special
beauty were the dances of the ancient
Mus.es about the fountain and that of
the followers of Physical Culture.
We are now closing another year of
service to our college. It is with re-
gret that we do; but it is also with
hopes and plans for the coming year.
If our expectations are realized, it
will be due in a large measure to Un-
steady and ceaseless efforts of the re
tiring editors.
The staff for next year has been, as
this year's staff was not, trained for
the work they are to undertake. This
fact should foresee a more interesting,
a more newsy, a more representative
paper.
Another change we are working for
is the weekly publication of the Teco
Echo. Such a change will require
more work and a larger staff of as-
sistants, but it will insure timely
news and a broader outlook for every-
thing concerned with the college.
The inauguration of these changes
and others that are anticipated will
make the paper of more interest to
Alumnae and outside participants in
our college affairs. It is our aim to
make it a. force in the lives of stran-
gers, and a living, vital power on the
campus.
To do our best work, we need sup-
port! This is our call for subscribers.
Alumnae, we need your support if we
are to give of our best to the paper.
So forget the waning depression and
apswer your sisters' call with a sub-
scription for next year's paper.

An then came the war. which, like
the flooded Mississippi through a
break or crevasse, or like an avalanche
down the slopes of the Swiss Alps
swept it all away. For forty years
hereafter again we faced ignorance
and poverty. Again there sprang up
a group of patriotic leaders who began
to consider our condition. Again they
proposed a remedy. They undertook
to make war on ignorance. Then, out
of the east came a prophet bearing
aloft a banner of light, and proclaim-
ing the doctrine of universal educa-
tion. He too began to prophesy. lie
promised that if North Carolina would
begin in earnest to educate all her
iiiidren, the State would again come
into an era of gieat prosperity, and
wealth by means of which there w ould
come a marvelous increase in indus-
trial strength and financial power.
Ten years after this prophecy was
uttered, education was again on the
march. Aycock was mercifully allow-
ed to live long enough to see his
prophecies beginning to be fulfilled as
literally and as completely as those
delivered by Jeremiah himself.
Since then twenty more years have
passed, but each one of them has add-
ed its testimony to the truth of the
original proposition. For the first
time in the history of the world, the
farmer's son and daughter are going
to public school in great numbers.

opponents and. before Tucker, who was
called from Shortstop to curb the at-
tack, could (town them a five run lead
was piled up. This looked like the
beginning of the end but in our half of
the sixth, instead of accepting the
seemingly inevitable defeat, the Teac-
hers stepped into the old pill with
timely hits and dotted all the way
around after two men were down
scoring seven runs.
The starting pitcher, and one relief

left bander of William and Mary nine
was given the call from the Bull pen.
After this attack no further scoring
took place till the first half of the
ninth when all spectators were drawn
to the expectancy when one run was
scored and the tying runner was
stationed on third, but Tucker lived
up to the hopes of all pitchers and
favored the final batsman winning the
game ten to nine.
High spots of the game were the
many tense crises which marled it a
homer by William and Mary, the run-
ning catch of Charles Rumley in cen-
ter, and the final start out by pitcher

and smiles for the lost and the found.
Parents were urged to bring their
seats early for commencement.

ming pool for those little folks on the
campus like I. W. Wrood and Bill
Hearne.

closed with slight damages other
than mental defficieney.
The grass on the campus is repre-

The proper time to wind a watch is
just before it runs down.
"Autographing" is a great past-

With exams came the early cry of
alarm clocks.
