<lb/>
s<lb/>
by Nancy Lilly<lb/>
Farewell columns are usually, the gooey type which impress<lb/>
the bourgeois and tickle the funny bone of the intelligent. You<lb/>
will be spared that type until this .time next year. It must be<lb/>
said, though, that I have appreciated those of you (both stu-<lb/>
dents and others that don't bear mentioning) who have ranted<lb/>
and railed at me on occasion. It shows that there's a little life<lb/>
in a few of you yet. The only defense with which I would like<lb/>
to leave you comes in the form of a poem by the ever-present<lb/>
Mamuel Hoffenstein<lb/>
"I seldom mean a single thing<lb/>
I say, or (as the phrase goes) sing;<lb/>
But if it sounds both bright and true,<lb/>
I like to think I think I do<lb/>
On to more important things . . . There is an excellent and<lb/>
very interesting exhibit in the library which contains much of<lb/>
the good work done by students in the art department this<lb/>
year. This is a growing department and one which contains<lb/>
quite a bit of unexpected talent.<lb/>
There should always be a farewell word to the Graduating<lb/>
Seniors. Whether it sounds tao emotional or notwe're going<lb/>
to miss you and we wish you the best of luck. But let's face<lb/>
it. it sure will be nice to get out in the world and be treated as<lb/>
a fairly adult and rational person for a change. Just think of<lb/>
your undergraduate colleagues when you're doing openly the<lb/>
things that they are still having to do behind people's backs.<lb/>
To get right down to it, though, it's understandable why<lb/>
'They are afraid to grant extra privileges. When students in<lb/>
senior dorms behave like freshmen, it's enough to make people<lb/>
wonder. In fact, it's almost an insult to freshmen to classify<lb/>
them with some juniors and seniors. As long as students<lb/>
behave like children, they will be treated as such. But of<lb/>
course, as long as they are treated as children, they will behave<lb/>
as expected. So it's a vicious circle. But, back to privileges<lb/>
.  girls are wearing Bermudas these days, we had a train trip<lb/>
to Portsmouth, we can have colored entertainment, many new<lb/>
faculty members are being added, we're getting new buildings<lb/>
ami now additions to old buildings . . . we're not too badly off.<lb/>
01 course, the Bermudas and the colored entertainment still<lb/>
have strings attached, but what can you get for a nickel these<lb/>
days anyway? Perhaps next year something will be done<lb/>
about the informary, the cafeteria, cheating, and many other,<lb/>
pus problems. Nothing will be done, but we can still hope.<lb/>
can't we? By the way. the University of Florida just passed a<lb/>
ruling stating that girls can wear Bermudas to class.<lb/>
Well, good-bye and good luck. Have a nice summer, and if<lb/>
you get down Miami way, look me us and we'll have a party!<lb/>
An Evening Meal<lb/>
By Bill Boyd<lb/>
After standing in the line for 15 or 20 minutes and swear-<lb/>
ing everytime a "good buddy" broke in front of each of them<lb/>
to grab that spot in line that another "good buddy" had<lb/>
ed, the group of boys approached the table where the trays,<lb/>
napkins, silverware, etc are kept. One of them dropped his<lb/>
fork and picked it up, looking around to see if anyone had<lb/>
observed the catastrophe, decided they had. and proceeded to<lb/>
himself another one. One fellow commented in negative<lb/>
fashion on the dessert saying that it was too small in pro-<lb/>
portion and hoped it didn't taste as it looked. After this<lb/>
hypocritical statement, he rambled on about how good the<lb/>
food is at home compared to some of the food in the cafe-<lb/>
Ul "You don't have to eat it Joe said the fellow behind<lb/>
him. "I have to eat something" shot back the first guy,<lb/>
hoping that this type of reply wouldn't arouse adverse com-<lb/>
ments on his criticism of the food anymore.<lb/>
As the group approached the lady at the cash register, the<lb/>
first fellow's meal was 81c. He turned and said. "Got a penny<lb/>
To' "No, but movbe George has. George do you have a<lb/>
penny that Joe can have "Yen, catch he said as he tossed<lb/>
the coin forward and over the head of Tom. Joe missed it and<lb/>
finally retrieved it from under a near-by table. By this time<lb/>
the lady at the cash register was quite impatient as was every-<lb/>
one in the line behind the group. "Forget the penny son she<lb/>
called out. but he now had it and she gave him 20c change for<lb/>
the dollar and penny he handed her. "Grouchy as hell around<lb/>
here George said the first boy as he walked'off.<lb/>
As George put his tray down" a cute little thing with blonde<lb/>
hair wiggled by. and he ended the process of laying his tray<lb/>
n by sitting it on Joe's mjlk. Of course Joe didn't know<lb/>
this as he was watching the young co-ed too. "Wow, did you<lb/>
see the . . . on her George said speaking to no one in particu-<lb/>
lar. "Get the catsup behind you yelled one of them to Joe.<lb/>
He left the table, waited for a sweet young thing to finish using<lb/>
it; hoping she would take a long time, and finally returned to<lb/>
the table.<lb/>
"Boy, its just 5:30. and we should be able to check quite a<lb/>
few before we leave whispered George to the rest. He had<lb/>
no sooner finished the statement when five girls wandered by<lb/>
them heading for the food counter. In perfect harmony, four<lb/>
heads turned to look and slowly followed the quint as they<lb/>
proceeded by. You could have reached down and swiped their<lb/>
plates, desserts and all without them knowing it. "Get your<lb/>
minds where they belong and let's get out of here replied<lb/>
Tom. "Just because you can't get a date with a girl, you have<lb/>
to think that none of us should murmured one of his buddies<lb/>
to Tom. "I don't give a damn about any girl in this coll . . <lb/>
and the sentence was broken off sharply as Tom's eyes followed<lb/>
a passing brunette, holding her chin up and her chest high.<lb/>
Everyone at the table laughed and a few more joined in that<lb/>
had sat down with the four. "You're no different from anyone<lb/>
else Tom, and that proved it said Joe. "Aw bull was Tom's<lb/>
answer.<lb/>
It was now 3:45 and George moaned, "I wish to hell that Axe<lb/>
would have them warm this stuff before they serve it "Yen,<lb/>
joined in another guy, "you sure can't enjov food thats cold, it<lb/>
just doesn't taste right No one seemed to notice that they<lb/>
had sat there so long that the ice cream had already half melted<lb/>
on two of their plates.<lb/>
Once they were outside they stood around the concrete<lb/>
steps just enough to make others trying to enter the cafeteria<lb/>
door have to go around them to do so. "Some poor slob is<lb/>
getting a ticket over there by the hydrant said Tom. They<lb/>
all laughed together except George. He suddenly realized<lb/>
nothing was funny anymore and was on his way to try and talk<lb/>
Chief Harrell out of the ticket that was quite predominant on<lb/>
his windshield. "They won't give a guy a break around here<lb/>
moaned Tom. "George couldn't have been parked there more<lb/>
than 10 minutes commented another. About this time poor<lb/>
George came back knowning that he was two dollars in the<lb/>
hole. "If I have to pay two bucks, I'll just get my moneys<lb/>
worth and leave it there until I head back for the dorm he<lb/>
remarked.<lb/>
"Pasti sure has a nerve, assigning us a test for tomorrow<lb/>
when 'Raintree County' is on at the snake pit said Joe. All of<lb/>
them agreed with him that they were being persecuted since<lb/>
they were all in the same class. "If I go to the movie I won't<lb/>
even have time to go to the "Y" shop afterwards as I'll have to<lb/>
go study some spoke up Joe again. "What's the test about?"<lb/>
inquired George, "I had to go to Belks and get a pair of pants<lb/>
during today's class period No one answered as no one was<lb/>
really sure he knew what the lecture had been about. "Sure<lb/>
has some nerve by assigning us all that material for one night's<lb/>
study when a good movie is on remarked one of the crowd.<lb/>
"They just won't give us any decent time to study around<lb/>
here was Tom's consoling reply to the crowd of boys. "Well,<lb/>
come on fellows, if we hustle, maybe we can get a good seat<lb/>
someone yelled, and seven of the intellctual set walked off<lb/>
towards five-points and "Raintree County<lb/>

She walked behind me, as I came towards the dorm from my<lb/>
last class, a little old lady. "My husband called me today she<lb/>
was telling the other lady with her, "and you know, he has<lb/>

and considerate.<lb/>
Keys to happiness . . .<lb/>
These past few weeks a lot of studying has been done and<lb/>
being caught in the midst of exams presents a rather frighten-<lb/>
ing picture. Some of the students, however, have caught the<lb/>
idea to a successful and happy life at college. They take time<lb/>
out to do something different when the tension is high. Many<lb/>
go out for a good game of tennis . . . some horseback and bi-<lb/>
cycle riding. I saw one couple having a picnic out on the steps<lb/>
of the outdoor theater near Garrett. Then, there are those<lb/>
who enjoy reading  just for the fun of it! Art and music are<lb/>
excellent forms of relaxation . . . besides furnishing many<lb/>
hours of pleasure. Perhaps you find your key to happiness as<lb/>
you walk alone, surrounded by beautiful scenery. When the<lb/>
opportunity comes, we must grasp it in that moment to savor<lb/>
its richness, fullness, and the essence of real living.<lb/>
Down by the riverside . . .<lb/>
When a day has been particularity trying I often take a walk<lb/>
down by the river. Those moments mean a lot to me, and I<lb/>
wont ever forget themfor it was down at the river that<lb/>
I shut my eyes  put my hands on the earth and felt the<lb/>
dynamic pulse of life. It was bursting with something I could<lb/>
not name! It were if the mighty force of humanity had come<lb/>
struggling through from all parts of the earth and it's basic<lb/>
simple truths lay viberating there on the top soil. My ear<lb/>
caught the voices of many lands in the first quiet whisper of<lb/>
the trees and then later the stronger gusts from other lands<lb/>
burst forth with their passionate beliefs. I smelled the riches<lb/>
of the earth and came to know kindness, sincerity, sweetness<lb/>
and humility through the perfume of the wild flowers so care-<lb/>
lessly planted by nature. And the river roared above it all<lb/>
with power, determinationfull of the sounds of life and the<lb/>
lively.<lb/>
I opened my eyes  and the light almost blinded me. Color<lb/>
burst forth  color of sunset. Cool breeze caught at my skirt<lb/>
carressed by burning cheeks. River laughed warmly with<lb/>
the tint of dark flame . . And in the middle of this mass of<lb/>
vibrant color and lifeI found a small tree all by itself<lb/>
curled, white, paper-thin leaves clinging faithfully among a<lb/>
forest of dark greenery. It was almost like a small chapel<lb/>
more beautiful perhaps than that any man has attempted to<lb/>
construct. I entered the little chapel along the river banks<lb/>
and kneltwitnessed a delicate holy hush . . . And my<lb/>
heart beat so loudly in that quiet that it seemed to echo my<lb/>
secret thought:  I will find Thee in timein time "<lb/>
Faculty Displays Varied Talents<lb/>
By Derry Walker<lb/>
One outstanding value of faculty<lb/>
members at East Carolina College is<lb/>
often overlooked by the student<lb/>
body; their acting ability. Since<lb/>
1933 ECC professors have offered a<lb/>
variety of entertaining stage produc-<lb/>
tions, from simple one-act to more<lb/>
complex three-act plays.<lb/>
The purpose of faculty drama is<lb/>
three-fold: it's fun for the partici-<lb/>
pants, it provides amusement for the<lb/>
student body and anybody else inter-<lb/>
ested, and it raises money for a very<lb/>
worthy cause; the East Carolina Fo-<lb/>
reign Study Scholarship Fund.<lb/>
The Greenville Branch of the<lb/>
American Association of University<lb/>
Women has worked hand in hand<lb/>
with the EC. Faculty for many years<lb/>
and has helped in the way of acquir-<lb/>
ing costumes, sets, and other equip-<lb/>
ment necessary for the productions.<lb/>
The combined forces of these groups<lb/>
have succeeded in raising consider-<lb/>
able sums of money for their cause,<lb/>
but could be even more successful if<lb/>
more students were aware of their<lb/>
actions and aims.<lb/>
Thus far, no Brandos or Bergmans<lb/>
have arisen from the file of perform-<lb/>
ers, but according to Mrs. Agnes Bar-<lb/>
rett, President Messick's secretary,<lb/>
an abundance of Emmet Kelleys have<lb/>
apepared in various plays. Mrs. Bar-<lb/>
rett remarks, "the members have<lb/>
very idealistic motives each time, but<lb/>
they generally prove to be a bunch<lb/>
of hams in love with grease paint and<lb/>
bright lights Mrs. Barrett's pun<lb/>
by no means reflects the fun that<lb/>
E.Cs faculty members have in do-<lb/>
nating their time and talents for<lb/>
these productions, and the facetious<lb/>
remark itself overlooks the fact that<lb/>
the presentations are often quite ex-<lb/>
cellent.<lb/>
JF<lb/>
Some of the recent faculty produc-<lb/>
tions include "Harvey "The Curious<lb/>
Savage and "The Silver Whistle<lb/>
George E. Perry, who had the lead<lb/>
role in "The Silver Whistle was<lb/>
instrumental as the director of the<lb/>
two others.<lb/>
This year, the E.C. troupers proved<lb/>
their merit in one of Agatha Chris-<lb/>
tfe's whodunits, "The Mouse Trap<lb/>
which was again sponsored by the<lb/>
AAUW and directed by Robert For-<lb/>
ney, of the Greenville Little Theatre.<lb/>
Much preparation and hard work<lb/>
accompany the frolic of the college<lb/>
corps of part-time actors, all result-<lb/>
ing in entertainment waiting to be<lb/>
enjoyed by the student body, and<lb/>
certainly the funds raised for tht<lb/>
Foreign Study Scholarship Fund are<lb/>
significant. The whole program rates<lb/>
a louder applause and wholehearted<lb/>
support from E.C. students.<lb/>
