Carl Sandburg lecturer. poet,
troubador?considered by some the
lief figure in American poetry
since Whitman, will present a pro-
gram here in the Wright Auditorium
en the evening of April 24.
Mr. Sandburg was horn in Gales-
urg, Illinois in 1878. Being the son
of poor parents, he received only a.
meagre grammar school education
hut his love for hooks and learning
ed him to read a great deal and in
this way he became better educated.
However, while getting his eduea-
. ion by reading, he was also working
at odd jobs to help support himself.
The jobs which lie worked on in-
cluded everything from blacking
hoots to painting houses.
When he was twenty years of age
he enlisted in the Spanish War. Af-
ter the war was over, Sandburg re-
turned home and entered Lombard
College to finish the education which
le had legun some years before.
This education fitted him to go into
! the work for which he was very cap-
able?that of writing.
He began his writing career with
the System magazine in Chicago.
One of his serious articles, and one
which is typical of the nature of hi;
work, was "Training tin
to be Careful Later he joined the
staff of the Chicago Daily Sens,
where his newspaper assignments in-
cluded labor conventions, trade un-
ions, and other such organizations.
His associations with working
men, as well as his own experience
in manual labor, gave him a great
knowledge of men and life, and a
sympathetic attitude toward tin

of faculty members and students
who acted as temporary ??cop-

county identification badges, which
were distributed to the individuals.
Representatives of the various

watched tennis and softball game-
ami other sports such as tumbling
and archery, which were in progress

High School Day! Oh, what fun!

getting an education isn't the only

high school seniors. Now, take the

"How do you like our fair cam-
pus?" was a question frequently
asked the visiting seniors. Whether
they only said it to appease our
evident pride, whether they really
thought so. or whether they only
possessed a one-word vocabulary, the
answer was fundamentally the same
everywhere. "Fine" was the one-
word answer which was most fre-
quently used. Well! I guess our
campus is "fine"?at least, we think
so.
Almost overpowered by the heat,
after walking some yards to fall in

BELIEVE IT OR OT
"Believe it or not . . . Fast Carolina Teachers College has a baseball
team. The reason for that foregoing statement is that very few people
on this campus seem to realize the fact. Or if they do realize it, most of
them have not been caught at the athletic field while games are in
progress. Is it laziness, or ignorance of the sport, or just plain disloyalty
that prevents this student hody from giving enthusiastic support to a
team that is on the field fighting for the glory of East Carolina Teachers
Jollege!
To appreciate and support athletics is a duty as well as a privilege
that a future teacher cannot afford to miss. It is through knowing and
loving games of students that teachers may find a meeting ground with
them that is not often afforded by the more formal atmosphere of a class-
room.
Help yourself by helping your team?FULL FOR THE PIRATES!
Dr. Boyd Speaks
On "Following
God'5
Dr. Robert Boyd, pastor of the
Greenville Presbyterian Church,
spoke on "Following God All the
Way" at the Sunday evening Vesper
Services of the YWCA on April 16.
Dr. Boyd quoted the Bible verse
"And He brought out the fact that
the children of Israel followed God
out of their land of bondage into a
land of deliverance Today our
song-writers have written of God as
a deliverer.
This verse, Dr. Boyd continued,
brings to one's mind three types of
people. First, the old who were al-
ways wanting to go back to Egypt,
who did not have the courage to
face the difficulties encountered on
the way to this promised land. There
was a satisfied group who were con-
tent with the leisurely wandering
hold hands with his girl. But we
told him there was a law against it
?so we lost one future student.
Then, there was the girl who re-
marked while passing through this
same scenic wonder, "The arboretum

danced with him long enough to find
out if he could dance or not. Our
own Fodie Hodges isn't letting any
dost accumulate under his feet,
either. In fact, one high school girl
wanted to know if he went with the
education. We were forced to tell
her that his college career would be
ended before her's began.
Reluctant to leave even though
it was an hour past the time set to
stop dancing, it was necessary for the
seniors to be "hauled" from the
floor. Someone said the high school
teachers had to bribe Mr. Deal to
turn off the music so they could get
their students out. Did they like

"Easter Meaning
Furnishes Topic
For "YVespers
"The Meaning of Easter" was the
topic of an inspiring talk given by
President Leon R. Meadows t the
Young Women's Christian Associa-
tion Vesper Services on Sunday eve-
ning, April !).
Dr. Meadows stated that the God-
dess Easter, goddess of life and
spring was celebrated 1,000 years
before Christ. lie came then to
Biblical times to Job who said, "If
a man die, shall he live?" expressing
his doubt of an after life.
When he asked various persons
what Easter meant to them. Dr.
Meadows said a small hoy said it
meant rabbits, eggs, and pretty
cards; a fanner, corn planting
time; a native of New York City,
the Faster Parade; and to a college
student it meant vacation, going
home.
Dr. Meadows compared the Resur-
rection to a college diploma, dust
as the diploma cannot he separated
from that which goes before it, so
the Resurrection cannot be separated
from the suffering, waiting, ami
sacrificing that preceded it.
It is too often true of college stu-
dents, he continued, that cannot,
do not look for Christ, but "Jesus
is here
"Easter he said "means vic-
tory, triumph over the grave It
is victories over one's enemies, over
the doctrines that come and go, for
Christianity brings a big hope for
the future.

the High School Day Committee,
was in charge of the program in the
Wright Building. The first thing
on the program was the short con-
cert rendered by the Plymouth High
Sclmol band. There was then a rol
call of the counties, Wilson County
having the largest number present.
President Leon R. Meadows de-
livered the address of welcome.
Emphasizing the need for every
high school senior to attend col-
lege. Dr. Meadows asked and an-
swered the thought provoking ques-
tion of "Why go to college?" He
then stressed the fact that it was
necessary to attend a good college
and he gave a set of standards by
which a student could judge a col-
lege
Following the welcome several
numbers were rendered by the boys
and girls' glee clubs of the college.
The meeting adjourned with the
singing of "The Old North State"
by the entire audience,
i 'After the program the college
band led the crowd to the picnic
grounds for the Larbecue luncheon.
Here two lines were formed and
were served simultaneously. The
whole crowd was served in approxi-
mated thirty minutes.
The four attractions for the att-
ernoon were: a baseball game with
High Point, a tennis tournament
with A. C. College, a picture show
"Alexander's Ragtime Band, and
dancing in the Wright Building.
AH four were well attended
throughout the afternoon.
Immediately following the base-
ball game the crowd began to dis-
perse and by 5:45 the campus was
cleared.
of tennis were easy victors in both
their singles and doubles encoun-
ters.
The tandem of Harris and Louis
Wilkerson continued undefeated in
doubles play, winning in straight
set 6-4?6-3.
The Mountaineers' points were
by Hollowell, who triumphed over
Charlie Green, and Blanton, who
won another hotly contested three-
set affair from Leon Meadows.

In celebratjon of High School
Day at East Carolina Teachers
College, the men's tennis team
swamped Atlantic Christian with a
9-0 score, thereby retaining the
"Bo-Hunk" trophy. ACC won only
one set with a combined total of
only nine games in the rout.
The Pirate crew had previously
defeated the Bulldogs in Wilson by
an 8-1 score. Since then the line-ups
of both teams have been revised,
with the result that only one of the
singles matches saw the same two
opponents square off as they did in
Wilson.
Playing No. 1, Glover again de-
feated his old rival, Pilley, by 6-1,
6-3?the same score that marked
their first duel.
Leo "Bitsy" Burks, captain and
first ranking local player, ran
through two fast and very one-
sided sets with Daniels with the
loss of only one game. It was Dan-
iels who accounted for ACC's love
victory in the match at Wilson.
In the number 5 singles, Louis
"Fish" Wilkerson found Atlantic
Christian's Sutton a tough nut to
crack. The Bulldogs took the first
set 6-4, but Wilkerson had too much
in reserve and broke through to
grab the next two.
In the other three singles matches
Charles Harriss, the "Marshall-
burg Flash Charles Green, and
Leon Meadows won handily, each
losing only two games.

turned the tables on the local nine
and eked out a 9 to 8 victory. The
game was played here and was a
feature of the High School Day
prgoram. Over 2,500 fans yelled
themselves hoarse as the battling
Buccaneers pulled a last stanza
rally that fell only one run short
of knotting up the count. With
runners on second and third and
one man out, the situation had a
hopeful outlook for the locals to
overcome the single run margin by
which the Panthers held the upper
hand. Breeee, Pirate first-sacker,
smashed a line-drive that had all
the appearance of a base hit, but
Koontz, shortstop for the High
Pointers, leaped high in the air,
snagged the drive, and doubled Mo-
ritz off second to end hostilities.
The East Carolinians garnered
12 hits as compared to their op-
ponents' 11, but miscued 4 times
afield to hurt their cause. "Chick"
Hatem led both clubs in batting
with three hits for five trips to the
plate. Moritz and Mayo each con-
tributed two-safe blows for four
times at bat.
Wells and Phillips did mound
duty for the Pirates and deserved
to win on the basis of hits allowed
to the opposition, but the Panthers
capitalized on the breaks of the
frame to score at crucial moments.

Men To Play
In Softball Meet
With the Bohunk Trophy again
set us as a stake for athletic vic-
tory, the Bulldogs of Atlantic
Christian College will meet Kast
Carolina's Buccaneers on the base-
hall diamond Saturday. This trophy
in the form of a properly deco-
rated "old oaken bucket" is an
award sponsored hy the student
newspapers of both colleges which
is dedicated to the intense rivalry
between ACC and ECTC in the
realm of athletics. A1 the present
time ECTC is in possession of the
"bucket" by virtue of a victory
over the tennis team of Atlantic
Christian. The trophy is held by
the school which last scored a win
n any athletic contest between the
two colleges, and the baseballers
from Wilson have expressed the de-
termination to take it back to ACC
with them.
From all reports, baseball fans
are in for a treat when the teams
clash here tomorrow. The Pirates
and Bulldogs have clashed once be-
fore this season on the diamond,
and the result was a bitterly fonght
12-inning affair that wound up in
an eight to eight tie.
It is probable that Willie Phil-
lips, swarthy hnrler who throws
from the orthodox side, will get
the call to do mound duty for the
Sea Rovers. The locals out-batted
the Atlantic Christian team in the
last meet rolling up 14 knocks to
their opponents 11, and the big
sticks of the Pirate attack are ex-
pected to take up where they left
off in the first game against the
Bulldogs.

Campus Group
Goes Visiting
Under the direction of Mr. M. L.
Wright, a class in Sociology went
last week to Ralegh and Durham
to visit, places of interest.
While in Raleigh the group vis-
ited the penitentiary, the State Hos-
pital, the State Museum, the School
for the Blind, WPTP Broadcasting
Station, and the State Capitol.
After spending the night in Ra-
leigh, the class went on to Durham
the next day. There, they visited the
Chesterfield Cigarette Plant and
Duke University. At Duke the
group was allowed to visit some of
the classroom buildings, and was
shown around the grounds and the
hospital by a guide.
This class in Sociology is making
a survey of State and community
resources and economic conditions.
