A unique and hilarious show was
given in the Wright Auditorium last
evening by the Yale Puppeteers. The
American marionette organization is
on its twelfth transcontinental tour
and presented an adult entertainment
which combined the ancient art of
puppetry with the sophistication of
a Broadway revue.

Dorothy Thompson and Mrs. Roose-

in their new revue, "It's a Small

Harry Burnett, chief manipula-
tor, reports that it took three months
to assemble the portrait puppets,
and for Forman Brown to compose
appropriate music, sketches, and ly-
rics. Incidentally, the lyrics are re-
peatedly changed by Mr. Brown to
keep them abreast of the quickly
shifting headline news.
Before the sketching and the me-
ticulous construction of the large
sized cast commences, Harry Bur-
nett observes his subjects from close
range. He has talked backstage with
Raymond Massey, went to see Orson
Welles and Dorothy Thompson at
their broadcasts, studied the Lunts

saw Martha Graham give a dance

each notable's particular movement
depends the .construction of his

With all their traveling together,
the cast for "It's a Small World"
never seems to get on each other's
nerves.
This season the Yale Puppeteers,
who took their name twelve years
ago when Harry Burnett, their mas-
ter puppeteer, attended the Yale
Drama School under the late George
Pierce Baker, are engaged on their
most extensive tour to date. They
will visit forty states.

Hobbies
David Cox, a graduate of Rich-
mond Hill High School, of Hew
York, and president of this year's
freshman class, has been actively en-
gaged in the business and profes-
sional field of work during his school
career.
While a student at Richmond Hill
Cox was captain of the track team
during his senior year, having been
elevated to this position by virtue of
previous participation.
He was a member of his high
school varsity club, a member of the
glee club, wrote for his school paper
and says he wrote also for New York
dailies. He appeared in operettas at
his school and was an officer of the
Hi-Y honorary fraternity at Rich-
mond Hill.
Cox's other claims to extra-cur-
ricula progressiveness include a job
as a junior clerk in a bank, chain
store clerk, advertising agency work-
er, circulation manager of a now de-
funct New York magazine, a house-
to-house salesman, ice cream factory
worker, and a counselor in a sum-
mer camp.
The freshman class president was
born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
from where he removed to New
York at the age of six.
President Cox's hobbies are mu-

sic, athletics and writing. He has
attempted to practice his hobbies in
school and out of school. His fa-

and track.
In expressing his plans for the

will be for the best interests of my
class and school. I would like very
much to see a debating team organ-

Fun Is Arranged
For Every Guest
ECTC King and Queen
Will Receive Crowns
The show must go on! With the
nation's most outstanding circus
carnivals in their winter quarters,
the Tan chapter of the Phi Sigma Pi
fraternity is stealing the thunder of
America's fun producers in the cam-
pus building Friday night from 7 :30
until 10:30 o'clock by staging its
annual carnival.
In addition to the fun that will
prevail for faculty and students, one
of the more serious phases of the
program will le the crowning of the
king and queen of the carnival. Can-
didates have already been selected,
and the boy and girl receiving the
most votes, selling for a penny each,
will be the winners.
Taking a glance at the fun that
Avill prevail one finds everything
that will meet with the expectations
of any student for three hours of
wholesome pleasure. Everything you
could possibly find in a professional
carnival will prevail at the fraternity
carnival, with many of the elements
exaggerated in popular collegiate
style.
Do you believe in fortunes? Well,
the fraternity has engaged a fortune
teller of prominence. What this per-
son can't tell you about yourself, by
observing a clean hand, of course, is
not in the books of the mystics.
Workers for the various conces-
sions are: Alton Payne and Dot Hol-

Km�p Safety in Mind During the Holidays
In a few days over thirteen thousand individuals including the stu-
dents and faculty of this college will disperse to their respective
homes for a period of several weeks. Likewise will thousands go
out trom other colleges and universities at the same time�all in
a hurr to reach their homes as soon as possible in order that there
will be more time to enjoy fore-planned get-togethers during the
Christmas holidays.
Hut will all ot these hurrying people reach their homes safely
and soundly and will they all return to school at the end of the holi-
days just as safely as they left here? No one knows. Death
and accidents lurk around coiners where they are least expected,
taking with them a heavy toll from the young and active
populace of our American nation. This year we can expect as
usual to lose some more of our tine citizens just through careless-
ness. Hut YOU of East Carolina Teachers CoUege do not have to
he among those who will pay the penalty with their lives or who
will receive permanent injuries. You can prevent all this if you
will keep in mind the simple little word�safety.
The highways will he congested with heavy traffic throughout
most ot the holidays that is had enough in itself�however, the
worse thing about it is that many of the cars on the roads will he
under the management of persons under the influence of alcoholic
Leverages. There will no doubt be among the drivers those who are
always in a burn these so-called speed demons�and once speed
enters the head of one of them, "safety goes out of the window"
and, brother, you had better get off the road. Better perhaps
would be to check your own speed for what docs it matter if it takes
a tew minutes more to get there if you start in plenty of time when
the safety of a life is threatened?
Above all things when you take over the responsibility of driv-
ing a car during the holidays, remember that there are other lives
in your hands besides those with whom you are riding at present
and that once a serious accident has happened, it is too late to do
anything about it then.
Be cautious, start on tune, drive slowly, and above all things
keep safety foremost in mind when driving during the holidays
DO .
and there will be no excuse for any serious accident of any sort.
East Carolina Teachers College would hate to have to mourn the
death ot some of her faculty or students because of the carelessness
of some individual. She wants to receive all of you back in January
in the same healthv condition that you left.
Campus Camera
Think 15 Ho re Your Criticize Unjustly
Recently much unjust criticism has been openly brought against
the new constitution and the committee responsible for making it.
Many have contended that this group is not turning out a good
piece of work. This is the wrong attitude to take. How can
anyone verify such a statement when the job has not been com-
pleted and how can anyone back up such a statement when they
know next to nothing about the completed constitution?
It ts rather bad to judge the whole of a thing just by some little
part that you have heard some student mention. The constitution
committee is by no means experienced in framing constitutions,
but have you ever considered the persons who drew up the Con-
stitution of the United States? They were not drilled before doing
their job, hut they did a good one.
Despite the criticisms the committee is receiving, and the pros
and cons of the constitution itself, there is one element that should
put the student hotly at case. The constitution is not for the com-
mittee, but is being done as a project for the entire student body.
When the committee completes its task, the constitution will be
presented to the student body. The constitution will be read to the
students at a mass meeting, after which copies will be made avail-
able for all the students. When the student body has had amplej
time to study it. a vote will be taken. Remember, the adoption will
rest with the student body and not with the committee.

Congratulations to the Societies
Inter-society competition was keen before the Thanksgiving holi-
days when the three literary societies presented a tournament of
one-act plays, from which contest the Edgar Allan Poe Society
with Lindsay Whichard directing their play, emerged victorious.
The societies should he congratulated on the performances which
they presented to the student body. To those persons who were
responsible for getting up these plays, to those who took part as
actors in the plays, to the members of the technical staffs, and last
but not least, to those three directors who worked so hard and
diligently should be extended the highest of compliments for the
good work produced. The job was well done.
Participation in this inter-society contest created quite a lot of
interest on the campus that had dwindled considerably during the
last few years. It seemed to revive the old spirit of friendly rivalry
and competition that once prevailed among the three literary-
societies.
Now that this practice has been rekindled, why not keep it fresh
by making an inter-society tournament of plays an annual affair.
Fourteen Shopping Days to Christinas
Each year the slogan "Do Your Christmas Shopping Early"
prevails throughout the nation and is spread across the faces of
American newspapers in the hope that the populace will not wait
until the rush of the week before to do hurried last minute shopping.
Although we may be a little late in doing so, the Teco Echo
likewise adopts this ever prevalent slogan and recommends that the
students and faculty not leave their Christmas shopping until they
return to their homes for the holidays.
There now remain exactly fourteen shopping days until Christ-
mas. Before the student body and the faculty adjourn to their
respective homes for the holidays, they will spend eight days on
the campus�seven of which will be shopping days. During this
time there will be an opportunity for many to complete a large
part of the needed purchasing and at the same time give extra
business to the merchants in Greenville who have helped make pos-
sible the publication of the Teco Echo this fall.
So why not start spreading Christmas cheer immediately by
doing your shopping with the Teco Echo advertisers here while
there is still plenty of time? Remember there are only fourteen
shopping days before Christmas.
To the Editor:
One of tie recently acquired
"good things" on our campus is the
formation of a Religious Organiza-
tion Council which is designed to
establish a closer bond between the
various college student church ac-
tivities. It is composed of all the
ministers of the city, the student
secretaries, the presidents of the
Young Men's and Young Women's
Christian Associations, three faculty
representatives, and one student rep-
resentative from each of the dif-
ferent church groups.
It is the aim of this organization
to sponsor joint religious projects
and to avoid duplication of effort
and conflicting engagements. It pur-
poses to seek to clarify student think-
ing along religious lines by bringing
to the campus outstanding leaders
in the religious field and by work-
ing out joint religious projects.
This year the council is to func-
tion under the elficient leadership of
Miss Zoa Anna Davis, student worker
for the Methodist church.
The council would welcome any
ideas which the students have con-
cerning the establishment of a more
efficient and effective program.

To the Editor:
For some time the loafing on this
campus has been practically un-
bearable. Students could be seen
wandering around at any time of the
day doing next to nothing. From
the view-point of observers this has
not looked the best at all times.
I agree that students should have
some recreation and that they should
take some time off from their studies
to relax and enjoy life. However, I
am of the conclusion that there is the
proper place to do such. Why don't
they engage in a game of tennisThe
courts are nearly always empty and
surely that would do them a great
deal more good than to just wander
around lazily.
After all the students on this cam-
pus are supposed to be coming to
college to learn something and to get
an education. How can they possibly
learn anything if they are always
hanging aroundHow can those who
want to learn, study when this is
going on around them. Besides loaf-
ers make so much noise that one can't
study eve i if he wished.
Recently definite steps were taken
by the administration in an effort to
put a stop to such. It is a good idea.
It is high time some one did some-
thing to control the loafing that has
been going on throughout the cam-
pus.
I am whole heartedly behind the
people who are responsible for this
act. Some one deserves a good pat
on the back for thinking up this plan.
An Observer.
To the Editor:
Vacation, what a fine sounding
word but who really enjoyed it. All
the different things we planned to
do over Thanksgiving were left un-
done. WHY! For the simple reason
we all bad studying to do. Each
teacher believed that we would bave
some time to do extra work. Make
reports, make scrap books, read
books and a hundred and one little
things. Oh I know it was much bet-
ter to study than spend time doing
nothing�All these months with
nothing to think of but books and
now and then an entertainment. Our
eyes get heavy from lack of sleep for
we just must get our studying done.
We begin to feel as though it doesn't
make any difference if we pass with
a one or a four. All the spark we
started school with has died. A few-
days doing nothing would feel so
good.
Teaehers, don't you believe we
could come back to school and do
better work if we were not given
assignments over a holiday? Try it
just once. I am sure the pupils will
show a mark of improvement in their
studies.
Thank goodness teaehers, you can't
give us assignments over the Christ-
mas vacation.

dreams come true?
Freshmen's depression is all that we
hear
But we'll have to "stick it out" a
year.
Do you remember the nights we used
to dream of college days
Curled up in our "so-cozy" chairs
Do you remember? Our happiness
has surely been delayed.
With three more years our share, it's
more than we can bear so
Here we are in Mother Future's lap
She seems to he asleeping, is this the

Simple but well cut dresses worn
with demure collars and cuffs are
sweetly feminine. You'll want one
of these dresses and several sets of
collars. Crisply starched Veni.se lace
revers are popular with the young
matron, and college girls delight in
the new lustrous gold kidskin col-
lars.
A turkey-red cotton corduroy skirt
worn with a red and white rayon
and wool blouse is cozy for informal
dinners. For more formal dining
wear a black transparent velvet skirt
with a ribbed chenille evening sweat-
er embroidered with sequins. Or
vary it with a red and black striped
long sleeved blouse which zips all the
way up the front. Another change
can be made by wearing a button
down the front tunic made of stiff
rayon damask.
Don't overlook handkerchiefs this
season. You'll find some beauties
(hand-hemmed, of course) in all col-
ors including the new black. If
you're fond of tiny Irish linen han-
kies you'll find plenty of exciting
ones in the new plum and green
shades. Larger, more gorgeous hand-
kerchiefs are strewn with splaehes of
bright colors which represent every-
thing from dozens of autumn leaves
to one huge flower. They're bright
and gay and add just the right touch
to complete your costume.
Men, here's some fashion news for

A Soldier,
The ignominious defeat of the Pi-
rates at the hands of the Appala-
chian college football team, climaxed
the pigskin season at ECTC for the
1939 season. The Boone eleven over-
whelmed the Pirates 64-0 in Mor-
ganton on November 18.
Shamefully to say, the Pirates
this year, scored only 18 points,
while their opponents ran up a to-
tal of 168 points. Frequently errors
and misplays led to many of the op-
ponents touchdowns, and superior-
ity of power and aggressiveness led
to others.
This year's Pirate team has been
jinxed the entire season by injuries
and lack of reserves. Bill Davidson,
who was expected to lead the Pirates
through a successful grid campaign,
was injured in practice and never
saw action in a game. Floyd Hinton
was injured in the first game and
was out for the season. Joe Williams,
Bill Merner, Adrian Brown, and
Bill Shelton, were out for several
games.
In concluding their home schedule,
the Pirates were victimized by an
aerial battle staged by High Point's
Panthers and lost 25-0. A half-time
rest rejuvenated the Pirates and they
held the Panthers scoreless in the
third quarter. Bill Dudash and R. H.
Chadwick were the Pirates' offensive
stars. Joe Hatem, Walter Rodgers,
and Irving Poliakoff featured on de-
fense.
Yep, boxing is here again. Coach
O. A. Hankner this week began the
task of shaping up his boxing hope-
fuls for this season and looks for-
ward to scheduling some corking
good battles for his scrappers.
Joe (Dynamite) Williams, who
captained the squad last season, is
back in the fold again this season.
Joe is expected to retain the same
lethal punching technique he dis-
played last year. Williams' fights
hinge on knockouts rather than de-
cisions. That's Joe pictured on the
left of this article.
Another fighter who has expressed
his intention of returning to the Pi-
rate squad is David Breece who, be-
cause of his quick jabs, was dubbed
"Lightning" last season. David's
doings last season won for him an
undisputed berth for the 1940 box-
ing edition.
In addition to the regulars, Coach
Hankner expects to whip new ma-
terial into shape. Of course, the early
paces are confined to conditioning
and it will be after Christmas before
the fellows will be in to show their
pilot what they can do in the fight-
ing realm. It will be after Christmas
before the first fight card is an-
nounced.
Several rounds with Duke's Frosh
turned out to be the biggest thing on
the Pirate's card last season, but
Coach Hankner said that he hopes
to pit his squad against boxing teams
of other major four-year colleges of
North Carolina this season. No
schedule has been worked out thus
far, but present indications are that
it will be a good one.
Boxing became more popular on
the ECTC campus as an intercollegi-
ate sport last year than ever before.
As a result of last season's interest,
the student body in general is look-
ing forward to this year's fights.

All you have to do is to consider

In about a week, the votes will be
turned over to S. L. Griffin, news

the ballots.
Students of Greenville High
School are also voting, in that M. P.
Fox is awarding trophies to players
of the high school and college. The
trophy at each school will be awarded
at appropriate ceremonies after the
winners have been decided.
The trophy awards were offered
for the first time last season and
much interest is manifested in this
year's plan.
Tom Cox's Entry
Wins Intramural
Football Honors
Bo Farley, who was awarded a
Master's degree in physical education
at East Carolina Teachers College
this summer, produced a football
team at Greenville High School this
season that lost only one game, tied
two, and ended its grid year by tying
Roanoke Rapids for second place in
the Eastern Conference.
Coach Farley's progress with his
Greenville High School material
this season is shown in a comparison
of points this year over last year's.
During the season just ended, Far-
ley's Green Phantoms scored 196
points, as compared with 84 in 193S.
This is a fine record for any high
school coach.
While viewing Farley's progress
with the high school this year, ECTC
students and graduates recall 1936,
when he coached three major sports
here and made a fine record in each.
Farley did his undergraduate
work at Duke University, being a
three-letter man of that institution.

only one game during the intra-

December 7
Among The Alumni
Dr. and Mrs. Leo& K. Meadows
entertained the Greenville Alumni
chapter of the East Carolina Teach-
ers College at their home, Friday
night, December 1. This was the first
chapter meeting since it was or-
ganized a month ago.
Presiding at the meeting was the
newly elected president, Mrs. Harry
Forbes, who asked for the coopera-
tion of all alumni at the Homecom-
ing day on March at which time
Governor Hoey is to he the guest
speaker at the dedication of the new
classroom building at the college.
This is scheduled to bo one of the
most outstanding days in the history
of the college.
Mrs. Forbes also reported that the
services of a state alumni secretary
had been secured, her work to start
in February. This is a most import-
ant step in the progress of the
Alumni Association and one that
will create much interest throughout
the state.
Mrs. Clen Garner, Mrs. C. H. Ed-
wards, and Mrs. Tyson Bilbro were
appointed to function as the finance
committee, and Mrs. Louis Gaylord,
j Mrs. Gus Forbes, and Mrs. Harry
j Forbes as a program committee.
At the conclusion of the meeting
came the highlight of the program
when Dr. A. D. Frank discussed in
a most interesting manner the cur-
rent problems and situations among
the warring nations today. Dealing
first with the situation now existing
! between Russia and Finland, then
j with the three months old war of
J Germany against France and En-
gland, he closed with the statement
that he fears that Japan today
threatens the peace of the United
States more than do any of the
European countries. After having
had a profitable and peaceful trade
with China for over 150 years, the
United States is now threatened more
than we realize by the coming of
Japan into China.

conclusion that he is a natural-born
fight manager.
Lucille Bedford, known as Anne
in the show, shared glamour honors
with Kenneth Woolard. Whenever
his sweet talk failed to bring modest
John David Bridgers to fighting
terms. Bridgers, a comical and be-
spectacled actor, was unable to re-
sist Lucille's alluring technique. �Jot
only did it turn him from his aspira-
tions of a successful milk man to a
conceited and ducking pugilist, but
found his fickle admirer on marry-
ing terms in the final scene.
Another freshman, Jean Phillips,
made her debut as one of the school's
future top-ranking stage performers.
Jean had one of the most lovable
roles in the play. She was involved
in a love affair with Speed, but their
love bonds were broken when Bur-
leigh Sullivan, her hypothetical
brother, through a series of fixed
fights was built up as a contender
against Speed for the featherweight
championship.
Ward James, bearing the ear-
marks of a polished college man who
knew nothing of pugilism, became
Sullivan's manager. He and Sulli-
van made a notable comedy team,
particularly when Sullivan, through
the manly art of ducking, won the
big battle by a comedy fluke.
