The party had been to JIatteras

Youngest of the departmental clubs on the campus is the Social Science
Club, organized this term. This association was formed as the result of
a need felt here by a group of soeial science majors and the teachers of
that department. .
With membership limited to soeial science majors and teachers, the
group shall be well suited to work out efficiently many problems of society.
The .dub plans to promote, through its meetings and programs, much
interest in local, national, and international social problems. Also it
hopes to become an active function in campus socialization.
An organization of this kind can mean a great deal to its department
and to the school as a whole if its dans are carefully formulated and then
carried out properly.
There should be no excuse for the falling by the wayside of such an
organization. Keep up the impetus of your first start. Don't let it die.

Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!
1935 Freshmen Are Graduating
WHY AOT PARTICIPATE?
Each year finds the school administrator seeking prospective teachers
who have a background in sports, playground and recreational activities.
Already this spring the college has been unable to supply a number of
superintendents' and principals' requests for this type of teacher.
The intramural sports program of ECTC offers the student an op-
portunity to gain valuable experience in a large number of sports and
recreational pursuits, A list of the more popular intramural activities
? engaged in by students on our campus include tennis, speedball, soccer,
touch football, playground ball, volley ball, basketball, badminton, boxing,
foul shooting, table tennis, horseshoes, track and field, archery, deck
tennis, field hockey. shutHeboard, croquet, table tennis, paddle tennis,
bowling, etc.
Not only does the student learn the fundamental technics and skills
of the games, but he also learns the basic rules of the various sports.
It is also possible for the student to gain real practical experience by
coaching some of the teams in the various competitive units. Then, too,
he may be called upon to officiate in the various contests such as: touch
football, basketball, playground ball, volley ball, etc. Experience such as
this is of untold value to teachers, both men and women, who may be
called upon from time to time to supervise playground or athletic activi-
ties in the school in which they will do their teaching.
Every student should make use of these opportunities which are avail-
able on' our campus, not only to prepare himself for a better teaching
position, but also to gain those benefits which come, from wholesome
participation in vigorous play activities.
Laughs ring out, sighs are ut-
tered, smiles flourish, and tears fall!
Why? Commencement time is here
in all its glory, fun, happiness and
sadness. The work is over?four
years of it, for those worthy seniors.
My! My! What cute little fresh-
! Aen those seniors used to be. And
how they looked forward to the time
when they would be ready to gradu-
ate. And they're glad now that
that they're going to be graduated?
but, gee! There's something about
the finality of the thing that sorta
"gets you. You laugh your way
through college, then you try to
laugh your way out, and find that
you have laughed until you're cry-
ing.
Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! Don't
look now, you marshalls, but I think
you are being followed?by a line of
black caps and gowns, with seniors
hiding beneath them. My! How
impressive they look. It's remark-
able how much dignity some of
them are able to muster for the
occasion.
Well, the moment is here, and as
the dignified (I) seniors march
across the stage, the prayer in every-
one's heart is?that they won't fall
down the steps. The end has come
for another class which has seen
four years of hard work?well, any-
way, they have seen four years?
on our dear old college campus.
Some of them wouldn't admit it, but
it is a good guess that all of them
wish they were coming back next
fall.

POLICIES I MIND
Without a definite editorial policy, any newspaper would be at sea as
to which way to turn. There must be a general aim and purpose for
pursuit in the publishing of a paper or else there can not be a desired
progress. With this in mind definite policies have been set up as goals
to work toward for this staff for the school year 1939-40.
Beginning with this issue the aim of the staff is and will be throughout
the school year, progressiveness. Forwardness and onwardness, not
backwardness, and retardation, will be the motto of the publication. Look-
ing back except to profit by others errors too often proves fatal and
fatality is ruination. Therefore looking straight ahead toward higher
things will be the aim of work undertaken.
An impartial editorial policy will be pursued. All problems of student
interest will be analyzed carefully and discussed with unbiased opinion.
The will of the student body will be heard through the columns, thus
making this a paper for the students, by the students, and of the student.
LETTERS
To The Editor
AU REVOIR
At the close of the school year comes the difficult task of saying farewell
to those with whom we have associated during the year. Our relation-
ships with the student body have been pleasant, and we have enjoyed
every moment spent in close associations.
The Teco Echo staff wishes to each member of the student body, the
faculty, and all other persons connected with the college, a very happy
vacation. . ,
Next fall we hope to take up our work here again. Until then we bid
you au revoir. (

pleasure along with the strength

WHO SAID THAT . . .
ECTC students are all jitterbugs?
How about the twenty couples
who attended a good old-fashioned
square dance at the "Y" Hut Satur-
day night and had a fine time?
Lex was the most able square
dancer and Bruce ought to be con-
gratulated on her graceful effort
while following him. How she did
it, one will never know!
Dr. Flanagan tried to keep up
with his charming partner, but dis-
covered that he usually wound up
swinging another male.
11 takes a back-to-the-woods dance
to bring out the native (?) in
people!
Future teachers are non-athletic?
Those sun-burned beauties who at-
tended the WAA week-end at At-
lantic Beach are gluttons for pun-
ishment. Anyway, they did get their
pictures in the paper.
Roule Mozingo is anxious to get
to West Point?
Perhaps he is, but why is he leav-
ing Flowers behind?
Smitty and Stella don't want
school to close?
Whoever it was is crazy
Woe! Why don't I ever
break ?
Spring makes a young man's (or
woman's) fancy lightly turn to
thoughts of love? An E.C.T.C. stu-
dent's faney heavily turns to
thoughts of source themes, units, and
exams. Spring Phooey!
There are some escaped freaks
on the campus?
After all, boys will be boys, and
boys will be initiated! Can they
help it if they had to play captive
while the initiators played Indians
and scalped them?
The members of the Phi Sigma
Chapter of the Sigma Phi Alpha
thought their shingles would be of
wood?
Of course, they weren't so dis-
appointed when they were of paper
as they figured that was as close as
they could get!
This column is O.K.?
Njobody! Can you blame them?

40, was placed in charge of gath-
ering information from the ad-
ministrative officers of the college.
The numerous activities of the
various classes and clubs of the
campus were covered by Ina Mae
Pierce and her staff of reporters.
The job of keeping up with faculty
was given to Clyde Coppedge and
her assistants.
John David Bridgers, elongated
Greenville lad, was assigned to the
Feature Department where origi-
nality and humor and not hard work
was the order of the day.
Working in first one field and then
another, Lindsay Whichard was used
as general utility writer for the staff.
Much of Whichard's work was of
the unpleasant "re-write" nature
which calls for making a clear, con-
cise story out of a mass of jumbled
facts.
Jack Daniels was placed in com-
plete charge of the sports page of the
publication for the year.
Although technically on the staff
as Exchange Editor, Ray Pruette,
past editor of the Teco Echo, has
contributed a column on national
and world affairs which has attracted
favorable comment.
Miss Elizabeth Copeland, graduate
student and Alumnae Secretary, has
served as editor for alumnae news
during the past year.
The task of making assignments,
writing editorials, writing headlines,
and general make-up of the paper
has been carried out by Billy Daniels,
editor-in-chief.

Recently a report was prepared for President Roosevelt
economic conditions of the South.
The report rendered consisted of sections and economic resou-
water, population, private and public income, Education, health. 1
Labor, Women and Children ownership and use of land, credit, use
natural resources, Industry, and purchasing power.
Of all the reports given, the section on education particularly UgM
my fancy. Pertaining to salaries of southern teachers I quote froffl the
report, "Although Southern teachers compare favorably with teachers
elsewhere the average annual salary of teachers in Arkansas for lf8$44
was $465 compared to $2,361 for New York State for the same yea and
in no one of the Southern States was the average salarv of teach rs equal
to the average of the nation. In few places in the nation, on the Other
hand, is the number of pupils per teacher higher than as in the Seat
Overcrowding of schools, particularly in rural areas, has lowered the
students of education, and the short school terms of southern rural ???
further reduce their effectiveness
Some sigh, some exclaim, some are resigned to the above tgVM and
statements. Why? I3 it that we of the South still have with us the 1i
Laxssez-faxre Doctrine of let alone, a heirloom left to us bv our Grandpa-
rents, or are we misguided by our governors of the South who would rather
sponsor a road building campaign than have our little bovs and girls ask
the question "why" to situations given them.
Are we of the South of a less degree of intelligence than other people
or are we road mtnded to the extent that roads come first while humanity
and its educational needs are only secondary
As to salaries for school teachers in the South as one phase of our educa-
lV6, ?"? teachers going whei!e opportunity and
money are to be found-the child suffers,1? state sufere (although
pcdaticxans mAmm it), and the teachSa safer by leaving their state or
the section of their birth.

OUR HEROES
The p,rts department takes pride in honoring Lester Ridenhour, Ruth
Parker and Earl Smith, outstanding athletes. Although possessed with
a-??;?? modesty, their effort to promote good sportsmanship among their
coll. agu( - has been one of their most enviable traits. Whether their "bread
and butter" career begins in a little village or within the walls of a
large schoolroom, we wish for each of them, all possible success in their
Captained by John Williams, the
Britons won two out of three games
over Hilly Daniels' Vandals for the
softball championship of the intra-
mural program launched this quar-
ter by Coach Hank Hankner.
Jimmie Ward was manager tor
intramural sports, which included
tennis, horseshoes, badminton and
Softball, with tic latter taking the
spotlight and stimulating the most
interest.
The Britons won three games in
as many starts to remain in the up-
per bracket in the first set, and com-
peted for championship laurels with
the Vandals, who recorded three wins
in three starts in the second set.
Besides Williams and Daniels,
other captains were Adrian Brown,
Roman mentor, and Hampton Noe,
who piloted the Hittites. Teams par-
ticipating in the program played a
combined total of six games.

Bill Shelton, popular E.C.T.C.
athlete, was retained as president
of the Varsity Club at an election
meeting held Monday night, May
22, and on Wednesday night of last
week initiated new members into the
club.
Members of the club went on rec-
ord as making life members of se-
niors being graduated this year and
in future years. The club voted also
to convert the office of secretary-
treasurer to two positions.
Floyd Hinton was elected vice-
president, succeeding Earl Smith,
and Mickey Northcutt was named
secretary, succeeding Bill Merrier,
who served as secretary-treasurer
during the year. Kelly Martin was
elected to the office of treasurer to
fill a newly created office.
Boys taken into the club during
last week's initiation were Charles
Brinn, Woodrow Long, Herbert
Wilkerson, Harvey Braddy, and
Willie Phillips. All exeept Phillips
were members of this year's boxing
squad. He was a hurler with Coach
Gilbert's nine.
Coach Hank Hankner and Assist-
ant Coach Gordon Gilbert will begin
the task of whipping potential foot-
ball material into shape on Septem-
ber 11, when all candidates are to
report for practice.
Milton Glass, Floyd Hinton and
Hubert Roberts, who supplied the
punch in the Pirates' line last fall,
are slated to be in the line-ups for
the 1939-40 season. Rockfellow Ven-
ters, Coach Hankner's biggest threat,
is expected to resume his fine brand
of playing.
Jack Move, Walter Rogers, Adrian n 8
Brown and Milton Frizelle, valu-
able guard prospects, are under the
watchful eyes of the grid mentors,
who are not leaving a stone un-
