We didn't like to admit even to our-

we were expecting a visit from our

This year the custom of observing Mav Day with a special j
pageant and festival has horn revived here under the sponsorship j
o( the Women's Student Government Association. Plans are be-
ing made for carrying out a pageant such as has never been given
here before.
Nominations for the Mav Queen will be made at the next mass
meeting In the student body and elections will be held by secret
ballot a tew ila s later.
To he chosen queen is significant of one of the highest honors
that can be bestowed on a girl enrolled in any college and only
naturalh there should lie certain ideals and qualifications that any
girl who is chosen should measure up to. Perhaps beauty should
re all things, but certainly along with this should
talitv. for without this trait there can not be

genuine beauty. She should have charm and poise and all other'
qualities that will give her a queenly bearing so as to contribute
the right atmosphere to our Mav Day festival and make it some-
thing to be remembered in the years to come. Fast hut not least
it should be expected that the person so chosen should possess a
scholarship average of a "three" and a satisfactory student govern-
t � JO
ment record.
So when you nominate and elect a person for your Mav Queen
just think over the traits that you would like to see in the person
who will go down in the history of the college as your May Queen ,

Privilege Extended
Last Thursday a privilege was extended to the student body
when the "Y" Hear!ing Room was reopened on the recommenda-
tion of the Y.YY.tA. cabinet on condition that the students do not
abuse it as they did previously.
The Y.W.C.A. and the Y.M.C.A. provided the room for their
religious purposes and they opened it to the use of the students
in order that they too might enjoy their room, their books, their
magazines, and their comfortable chairs.
At the present the students are on trial to prove to the two "Y's" . ��� ,�. ���
that they know how to respect others' property and how to conduct are witty because everybody else

New Trophy
Several boys on the campus
have launched a move whereby
the most valuable player on this
year's basketball squad will re-
ceive a beautiful trophy.
Instead of converting the
plan to a popularity contest,
however, they will leave the
matter of the selection to the
Varsity Club. John Williams
is chairman of the drive.
Money for the trophy is be-
ing raised by soliciting money
from students on the campus.
All students making contribu-
tions are requested to turn
them over to Dorothy Hollar,
who has been made custodian
of the fund.

On March P. 1040, vour Alma
Mater is celebrating three events;
the first is the dedication of our new
$350,000.00 Classroom Building:
the second is the thirty-third anni-
versary of the founding of our Col-
lege; the third is the commemora-
tion of a century of teacher train-

you with us as we celebrate; there-
for we have focused all the events
into one�Homecoming Day. The
program of our celebration is given

be keenly disappointed if you do
not come home on this occasion. Do
not disappoint us.

The files show that approximate-
ly 4,818 people have been graduated
from East Carolina Teachers Col-
lege. Of course, a small per cent
of these have died. A comparison
of the number of active members
with the possible number that should
and could be affiliated with an
Alumni Chapter reveals a tragic
fact.
Though there is no shrine, as
such, upon which the graduates
pledge allegiance to the college each
year, sentiment might well serve as
an impetus for greater alumni work.
During four years of one's life in
any place indelibly stamped upon
the memory will be treasures:
Probably the living memory of a
deceased friend or adviser, or the
beginning of a lasting friendship.
There are always campus sites upon
which something happened�trivial
as viewed now but extremely im-
portant then. The fact remains that
the degree of material success ob-
tained as well as the realization of
much happiness passed and that to
come has been made possible by col-
lege preparation. Then, taking a

" On March 5, 10:52, Founders'
Day, sponsored by the Pitt County
Chapter of the Alumni Associa-
tion, was celebrated at East Caro-
lina Teachers College for the first
time. This was twenty-five years
after the school was founded; March
S, 1907, the hill was ratified to
establish a Teaeher Training School
for Eastern Carolina. Miss Deanie

auguration of the annual Home-

er's Day was discontinued and Fall
Homecoming Day instituted. Mrs.
O. K. Joyner was leader of the
Alumni Association. On October
23, 1937, the second annual home-
coming was celebrated. The follow-
ing year the event occurred on Xo-
vember 19. This year, 193940, the
Homecoming Day celebration has
been postponed until March. It will
be celebrated with the dedication of
the new classroom building and the
commemoration of Founders' Day
and "A Century of Public Teacher
Training in the United States
Included in the program are the
usual pleasures that tend to make
homecoming a happy day: a special
welcome to alumni in the morning,
luncheon at the college, an alumni
meeting in the afternoon and a
basketball game (with faculty mem-
bers in the contest) and a dance in
the evening.
ALUMNI ORGANIZATION
To those of you who were not
at commencement last year, I send
information concerning our or-
ganization.
The members of the Alumni
Council for the year 193940 are:
president, Mrs. Elizabeth Stuart
Bennett, Forest City; vice president,
Mrs. Minnie Boss Brake, Rocky
Mount; secretary and treasurer,
ELECTION OF THE
ALUMNI SECRETARY
For the past two years it has been
the big objective of the association
to employ7 a full-time secretary.
With the aid of the college this has
been realized, and the secretary be-
gan work February 1, 1940. A
faculty committee composed of Miss
Emma L. Hooper, Miss Maria D.
Graham, and Mr. E. L. Henderson
working together with the council,
on which a representative from each
chapter is included, elected, on
Xovember 25, 1939, Estelle McClees
as full-time secretary. The above
faculty committee was dissolved;
and a new advisory committee com-
posed of Miss Emma L. Hooper,
Miss Maria D. Graham, Miss Ruth
White, Dr. A. D. Frank, and Mr.
J. B. Cummings appointed.
BIG OBJECTIVES ACCOM-
PLISHED BY THE ALUMNI
ASSOCIATION
The Alumni Association, since its
organization in 1912, has made
through its various funds many con-
tributions to the causes of the col-
lege. In the last fifteen years, there
have been five big objectives worked
for and accomplished by the as-
sociation : namely, the Wilson Me-
morial, a pergola on west campus;
the Beckwith Memorial, the Kate B.
Beckwith Gateway; the Austin Loan
Fund ($500.00) ; a contribution to
the Robert H. Wright Loan Fund;
and the appointing of a full-time
secretary.
GRADUATE WORK
To those of us who have been
graduated with the degree of A.B
our college offers an opportunity for
further study. Dr. E. L. Hender-
son, Director of Instruction, Educa-
tion and Supervision, is Chairman
of Graduate Work at East Carolina
Teachers College. Here is a state-
ment from him concerning the work:
"To meet the demands being made
upon superintendents, principals
and high school teachers for scholas-
tic attainment represented by work
beyond the Bachelor's Degree, the
college organized a Department of
Graduate Instruction in 1930. The
department is in charge of a director
and five members appointed by the
President of the College. Under
their guidance curricula of graduate
of Administration and Supervision,

ALUMNI HEADQUARTERS
A pleasing bit of news for you is
to learn that we have new Alumni
Headquarters. The administration
has made this possible and the
Alumni Association is deeply grate-
ful. The college moved the book-
room and converted this spacious
place into a reception room, an of-
fice, and a filing room. It is being
furnished by the college. The loca-
tion is on the front corridor of
Austin, opposite the old cloakroom.

To Be Observed

of the new building was delayed.
A century of Public Teacher
Education by Professor Charles A.
Harper, the publication of which is
sponsored by the association, gives
the history of teacher training. It
began at Lexington, Massachusetts
on July 3, 1S39 with the first pub-
licly supported teacher training in-
stitution and has grown until it now
offers Ph.D. degrees and until teach-
ers colleges have a total of more stu
dents than the total in other colleges
and universities in the United States.
The Alumni Association will feel
that the day marks also a great ad-
vance in the organization. A full-
time alumni secretary is now serv-
ing, and headquarters have been ar-
ranged.
The program will begin with
alumni registration in the lobby of
the Robert H. Wright auditorium
at 10:00 o'clock. This will precede
the academic procession from the
new classroom building to the audi-
torium where the address will be
given by Governor Clyde R. Hoey.
He will be introduced by Clyde
Erwin, State Superintendent of
Public Instruction.
President Meadows will welcome
the alumni and will present the
guests of honor at the close of the
morning program.
Barbecue lunch will be served at
1:00 o'clock and will be followed by
a meeting of the alumnae.
The home economics department
is in charge of a tea in the new class-
room building during the afternoon
and the program will close with a
basketball game and the alumni
dance that night.

(Continued from page one)
they have lived always but to travel
and see other places and meet new
people. America while other coun-
tries are at war should be the place
of culture and make Europe look
up to us as we have done in the
past to them.
Another piece of advice Miss
Dietz gave was not to sit on the
side lines and watch life go by but
to play the game. Even though
we don't make a goal we have helped
others to live.
At the evening meeting Miss Dietz
explained in detail the establishment
of the first Messenger, telling espe-
cially the part that Poe played in
its early existence. She stated that
it was chiefly on account of Poe's
frank literary criticism of contem-
porary Avritings that the circulation
was greatly increased during the
period in whieh he was editor.
The Messenger, said Miss Dietz,
was one of the first magazines which
gave women a chance to publish
their writings which usually ap-
peared as poems.
In the early days of the magazine
the stories were all similar in plot.
They consisted of a heroine who
either died of consumption or was
killed wrhen thrown from a horse,
and a hero who was also the villian
but who secured the heroine's pardon
before she died.
After the close of the evening
speech, Miss Dietz talked informally
to a group in the English laboratory.
