If,  in  later  years  when  memories  are 
dimmed,  you  open  the  Tecoan  to  refresh 
your  recollections  of  the  pleasant  moments 
at  East  Carolina  Teachers  College  and  the 
hour  slips  rapidly  by  as  you  turn  the  pages, 
then  will  the  editor's  hours  of  pleasant  labor 
have  been  well  spent. 

May  each  coming  year  add  a  new  value 
to  the  Tecoan  is  the  wish  of  the  staff! 


Arms  and  the  man"  I  do  not  sing.   But  of  her  I 
who  stood  by  at  the  founding  of  a  State — a 
State  brought  forth  in  poverty  and  nurtured  in  adver- 
In  war  she  sacrificed,  in  peace  she  endured  and 
looked  forward  to  a  better  day  for  her  children.     Of 
the  women  of  North  Carolina  I  sing — the  fairest  among  the 
fair,  the  bravest  among  the  brave!  i-  i-  She  has  justified  her 
emancipation;  she  has  taken  charge  of  herself.   She  has  un- 
loosed the  fetters  of  tradition  and  given  the  State  a  new  type  of 
mastery.   Not  the  mastery  of  might;  but  the  mastery  of  con- 
science, justice,  sympathy,  and  a  new  set  of  spiritual  values. 
Where  man   is   most  civilized,   there  woman   is   most  su- 
preme. i~  i~  She  loves,  she  mothers,  she  nurses,  she  teaches, 
she  goes  into  business,  she  makes  herself  at  home  in  the  pro- 
fessions.   The  pores  of  her  mind  she  has  opened  up.  *  :$  For

her -no  haunting  fear  frets  the  passing  hour.  The 
smile  of  pride  is  on  her  countenance.    The  sweet- 
ness of  victory  is  in  her  voice.    She  is  wise,  for  the 
experience  of  the  ages  is  hers.    Supreme  confidence 
is  given  only  to  those  who  know  and  know  that  they 
know.  ;i-  4"  She  has  no  quarrel  to  make  with  the  world — it  is 
hers  to  serve  and  enjoy.  She  loves  and  is  loved  in  return.  She  is 
beautiful,  for  she  represents  life  at  its  highest  peak  of  service. 
She  works,  she  thinks,  she  sees,  she  sings,  she  dreams.  i~  &  The 
next  generation  is  hers.    It  will  grow  to  her  stature,  for  she 
it  is  who  will  nurse  it;   it  will  know  what  she  knows,  for 
she  it  is  who  will  teach  it;  it  will  be  what  she  is,  for  she  it 
is  who  will  lead  it.     I  hail  her,  Queen  of  the  State.      £     Is

X/TISS  AGNES  L.  WHITESIDE,  teacher  of  Primary  Education  and 
Supervisor  of  Practice  Teaching  in  the  primary  grades  in  the  train- 
ing schools,  had  been  a  member  of  the  Faculty  for  fourteen  years  and 
throughout  that  time  was  vitally  connected  with  the  growth  of  the  col- 
lege, for  years  the  very  heart  and  soul  of  the  primary  work.  She  was 
largely  responsible  for  the  organization  of  the  observation  and  practice 
teaching  work,  especially  during  its  formative  stages  or  during  the 
period  of  expansion. 

On  the  morning  of  August  8,  Dr.  Meadows,  director  of  summer  school, 
at  the  morning  assembly  devoted  to  her  memory,  made  a  talk  that  warmed 
the  hearts  of  those  who  knew  her.  He  took  her  life  as  the  theme  to 
show  what  makes  a  successful  teacher,  summing  up  the  qualities  that 
made  her  eminently  successful,  and  attempting  to  give  some  idea  of 
what  she  meant  to  the  College.  These  were:  She  knew  her  subject 
matter  and  was  always  eager  to  get  new  ideas  and  she  knew  how  to 
present  them.  She  was  thoroughly  conscientious.  She  had  personality, 
attracting  people,  especially  children.  Faith  in  her  work,  in  others,  and 
in  her  God.  were  all  strong  in  her.  "There  are  many  teachers  who  owe 
their   success  to   Miss  Whiteside." 

While  she  sleeps  among  her  own  people  in  the  Tennessee  hills,  her 
spirit  lives  in  North  Carolina.  She  has  left  her  impression  upon  primary 
education   in   North   Carolina.

'Not  to  the  top  but  climbing " 


Senior  Class  Poem

Behold  our  Alma  Hater, 

In  splendid  riament  dressed. 
Upon  her  brow  she  wears  a  crown, 

A  shir  upon   her  breast. 
A  beacon  of  light  she  sent  to  us 

From  out  her  azure  dome. 
Ridding   us  to  enter 

And  adopt  her  as  our  home. 
she  imparts  to  us  a  message, 

In  solemn    tones  and  low: 
"You  are  'not  at  the  top,  but  climbing' — 

Your  journey  treacherous  and  slow." 
Lead  onward.  0  Alma  Muter! 

Lead  onward,  day  by  day! 
We  follow,   as   humble  daughters  should- 

Proud  mother,  lead  the  way!

Class  History 

INTRODUCTION 

IT  is  not  the  intention  of  the  authors  as  they  write  the  following  volumes  tc> 
write  something  famous — something  so  famous  that  it  will  prove  an  abomina- 
tion to  future  students.  Teachers  and  Instructors  of  history,  do  not  spoil  our 
story  by  compelling  your  students  to  read  it.  Rather  than  to  "stir  any  soul  to 
wrath"  we  prefer  finding  our  history  between  pined  pages — its  contents  unknown. 
"History"  says  Van  Loon,  "is  the  mighty  tower  of  experience  which  time  has 
built  amidst  the  endless  fields  of  bygone  ages."  We  women  can  appreciate  that 
definition — because  as  a  rule  we  read  that  history  is  "all  that  man  has  ever  hoped 
for,  thought  of,  or  achieved.  In  the  volumes  that  follow,  you  read  of  the  deeds  and 
achievements  of  women.  We  have  sought  to  tell  this  story  clearly  and  impartially. 
Out  of  the  multitude  of  facts,  which  might  lie  included  in  the  domain  of  achieve- 
ments accomplished  by  a  group  of  women  in  1928-1931,  we  have  recounted  of  most 
importance.  Thanks  is  due  East  Carolina  Teachers  College  for  the  opportunities 
she   is   annually  presenting. 

VOLUME  I 

The  challenge  for  the  future  leaders  of  our  country  met  with  a  hearty  response, 
when  in  September  1927,  the  flower  of  young  womanhood  migrated  from  the 
mountains  and  swamps  of  North  Carolina  and  other  states  to  East  Carolina 
Teachers  College  to  drink  from  her  fountain  of  knowledge,  68  in  number,  fresh 
in  quality  and  green  in  color,  we  wandered  about  the  campus.  Many  thanks  to  the 
Y.  W.  C.  A.  girls  who  made  us  feel  at  home  by  their  friendly  visits  to  us  those 
first  days. 

In  vain  we  called  upon  that  store  house  of  high  school  seniors'  knowledge  to 
assist  us  in  the  trying  ordeal  of  registration  !  We  accepted,  apparently,  with 
child-like  faith  the  monstrous  burden  of  courses  that  was  suddenly  heaped  upon  us. 

After  we  had  become  acclimated  to  East  Carolina  Teachers  College,  we  met  ami 
organized  our  class,  choosing  Alma  McGinnis  as  president,  Hannah  Turnage 
as  vice  president  and  Dorothy  Richardson  secretary  and  treasurer. 

VOLUME  II 

And  then,  another  year  came  around  and  we  were  Sophomores — more  sophisti- 
cated. We  discarded  the  little  timid  freshman  reply — "I  don't  know'' — and  took 
up — "I  don't  believe  I  recall  just  now." 

We  could  go  down  town  any  afternoon  except  Saturdays  and  Sundays — and 
some  of  us  went  then.  We  went  calling  at  least  once  every  week,  and  we  had 
company  one  night  each  week — or  if  we  chose — we  let  "him"  come  Sunday  after- 
noon. We  spent  three  week-ends  away  from  the  college  every  single  term.  Miss 
Morton  occasionally  gave  us  permission  to  take  meals  in  town  with  "relatives," 
(I  put  "relatives"  in  quotations  to  let  the  reader  know  that  accidents  happen  in 
history  as  well  as  in  other  subjects).

There  were  sixty-eight  members  in  our  class,  and  Alma  McGinnis  was  our 
president.  We  made  a  wonderful  showing  that  year.  Of  course  we  didn't  go  out 
and  win  any  world  championships  or  anything  like  that.     I    mean   we  went   out 

enthusiasm.     Fur  instance,  there  was  our  Senior-Sophomore  party.      Mr.  Saundeia 
id'  Elizabeth  City  gave  us  an  inspiration  and  we  called  it  a  "Pajama  Party." 

The  next  hie  event  was  the  coining  of  l'anl  Whiteman's  Orchestra.  Never  will 
we  forget  that.  Bow  could  we?  Pretty  music— Hum-n-and— Well,  who  doesn't 
enjoy  it '.

In  the  early  fall

time  for  good  children  to  g0  to  bed. 

Then  came  clays  of  hard  work  and,  excitement,  for  we  must  make  that  Junior- 
Senior  banquet  a  success.  On  Saturday  night,  May  in.  :,  jubilant  crowd  strolled 
into  the  banquet  hall,  there  to  remain  until  the  wee  hours  of  morning  bid  us  leave, 
hut  with  ns  we  carried  away  pleasant   memories  of  that  eventful  night. 


VOLUME    IV 

The  one  thing  that  so  greatly  effects  the  freshman  and  offsets  his  mental 
temperament,  yet  gives  to  the  Senior  an  air  id'  accomplishments,  is  this:    "You've 

got  to   he  a    Freshman   before  you're  a   Sophomore;  you've  got   to   he  a    Sophoi '■ 

before  you're  a  Junior;  you've  got  to  he  a   Junior  before  you're  a   Senior" — and 
when  you  get  to  he  a  Senior — Well— So  are  we. 

As  we  entered  the  last  lap  of  the  race  for  diplomas  we  felt — and  perhaps  looked 
quite  different  from  what  we  did  four  years  before.  Xo.  we  weren't  exactly  digni- 
fied— just  hail  a  lot  of  work  to  do--practico  teaching  and  all  that.  Work  will  make 
any  body  look  different  —  hut  work  was  what  we  were  working  for  and  didn't   mind. 

We  did  a  lot  of  things  of  importance  that  year.     Our  Senior  play  was  great  and 

e  Junior-Senior  Banquet!     Did  those  Juniors  know  how  to  entertain?    They  did. 

When  we  begin  naming  the  events  in  succession,  our  mind  goes  off  at  a  tangent 
and  we  find  ourselves  reminiscing.  The  first  year  we  were  here  we  wrote  home 
••Mother,  I'm  so  homesick  I  don't  know  what  to  do.  Hut  then  four  years  of  living 
here  has  made  it  home.  "It  took  a  heap  o'  sunshine  and  shaihler"  as  Edgar  Guest 
says,  hut  we've  made  it  home  and  now  we  leave  reluctantly. 

The  summer  sun  is  setting  and  we  see  the  twilight  approaching.  That  twilight 
we  call  "Commencement."     And  then  winter  begins. 

Next  vear  we  go  out  to  take  ,„ir  place  in  the  world.  Working.  Smiling. 
Accomplishing.     Watch  ns.

Gordon   was   at   the  piano,    playing 
rose,    and   Laura    Overton    made   he 
Eighteen-Day  Diet."      She     flowed 
vinced    Miranda    Strickland.    w!i" 
lecture  was   "A  Dream  of   Fair  Wo 

It  seemed  lucky  to  hear  two  of 
"The  Value  of  Silence."  She  adn 
critic   teacher. 

The  comedy   of  the  talkie   was   entitled   "The   Love   Bug"    and    Elizabeth    <"'henai.lt   was   starring. 

Following  the  comedy  we  heard  beautiful  music.  It  was  an  orchestra  b*d  by  Emma  Watson  dressed  in 
a   chic  uniform.      Some  "of  the  players  were   Mary   Adams,    Beatrice   Boyd.    Anna    Clark     and    Tiny    Hammond 

The  scene  shifted  and  we  saw  Lucy  Fortescue  being  taken  to  a  hospital.  She  had  lost  her  mind 
completely  because  her  students  could  not  learn  to  spell  her  name,  and  she  had  gone  around  spelling 
ever  since.     Mary  Biddle  took  her  place  in   the   school  as  head  of   the   mathf-nanr-    department. 

Further  down  on  Broadway  was  spied  Helen  Griffin  and  Ester  Mae  Griffin,  who  had  organized  nine 
hundred    ninetv-nine     Sewing  'circles. 

We  next  saw  Maurice  McCullen  hastening  to  catch  a  train.  Reporters  and  photographers  besiege  her  on 
both  sides.      She  is  on  her  way  to  some  Foreign   country. 

We  were  proud  to  see  Alma  McGinnis  and  Florence  Taft  riding  down  Broadway  in  a  big  limousine. 
They  are  both  United   States   Senators  now. 

Horrors  I  we  next  saw  a  person  being  carried  out  of  a   theater  by   Margaret  ' 
As     -we     focused     the     telescope     more     closely     we     recognized     the     person 
Addie    was    performing    one    of    her    famous    chemical    experiments    before    an    audience    when    the    thing 
exploded. 

And  then  we  saw  Lucille  Cole  across  the  street.  She  was  leaving  shorth  for  China  where  she  was 
going  to  run  a  girls  school.  She  was  taking  along  Lamina  Baker.  Kerry  Lane  Knux.  and  Grace  Bazemore 
to  help  her.  Grace  told  someone  that  Evelyn  Griffin  and  Irene  Mizzelle.  and  Isabel  Lennon  were  in 
Africa,    wearing    grass    skirts    and    singing    for    the    natives. 

There  was  a  traffic  jam.  and  in  two  planes,  side  by  side,  we  saw  Margaivt  Bryan  and  Ruth  Pittman 
Letha  Newton  and  Margaret  Vick.  who  are  both  airplane  mechanics,  were  riding  with  Margaret  and 
Ruth.  They  said  thai  Nancy  Usery  was  one  of  the  best  pilots  at  the  Roosevelt  Field.  Zuliene  Johnson 
had  recently   won   an  endurance   record.      Verla    Griffin    and    Margaret    Myers   were    also    aviatrix. 

As  we  peered  around  we  saw.  in  a  opera  lion  —  ,  Kathleen  Johnson  playing  the  lead  in  one  of  Sadie 
Harrell's   plays.      Lucille    Yelverton    was    Property    Manager,    and    Anne    Edgerton    was    chairman    of    the 

In  Egypt  we  found  Nora  Lee  Harris.  Miriam  Mullen,  and  Maggie  Hinson.  They  have  been  in  Egypt 
about   two   years,    measuring   pyramids    and    poking    around    old    ruins. 

As  we  left  the  Scientific  Observatory,  neither  of  us  spoke.  The  fate  of  our  class  had  been  unusual. 
That  day  we  had  seen  them  scattered  to  the  four  corners  of  the  Earth  and  two  on  Mars.  We  did  not 
think  of  them  as  meeting  the  various  fates  as  we  left  our  Alma  Mater  in  1931.  Though  Fate  had  truly 
played  her  part.

junior  Class  Poem 


Only  I  lie  best  to  do, 

Onlj    the  truth   in  see 

Only  to  live  anew, 

In    all    sincerity. 

These  in  our  hearts  we  hold. 

Three  u  ishes  sincere. 

These  may  we  all  uphold 

In    our    lives    here. 

Sweet   may  our  memories  rest. 

Alma  Mater,  with  you. 

As    those    win;   give   their   best. 

That    Class    of    '32.

Sophomore  Class  Poem 

Calling  us  onward  is  our  Alma  Mater. 

Let  us  heed  unto  her  call. 

For  on  passing  two  more  milestones 

We  ivill  then  have  reached  our  goal. 

In  a  group  we  must  reach  it; 

None  should  stop  along  the  way, 

For  the  highest  of  our  ambitions 

Are  only  dreamed  in  a  single  day. 

Our  college  days  are  dear  to  us. 

Yet  we  must  leave  them  all  behind  us; 

But  why  should  we  wear  a  tear  when  these  feiv 

days  are  done? 
For  our  memoirs  will  remind  us 
Of  the  Class  of  '33.

Class  of  '34 

Only  a  college  freshman  class 
Following  the  Gleam  of  the  Holy  Grail, 
Our  college  is  our  guiding  star 
'Neath  its  light  we  cannot  fail. 

To  serve  our  school,  our  watchword  is. 
We'll  praise  her  with  deed  and  song. 
We'll  do  as  she  would'st  have  us  do. 
And   conquer  everything  that's   wrong. 

May  our  class  always  light  the  way, 
That  those  who  see  it   from  afar, 
May  find  in  it  a  glorious  light. 
Their   hopes  to  be,   and   guilding   star.

Motto:     "Upward  and  Onward" 

.1/  last,  dear  classmates,  our  voyage  is  over 
The  part  we  sought  we  now  reach. 
Our  victory's  won,  our  trials  forgot 
As  we  step  from  deck  to  beach. 

Yet  our  happiness,  though  most  overflowing, 
Is  tinged  with  a  thought  of  pain, 
For  the  years  we  have  spent  together 
Can  ever  be  lived  again.

HOW  well  we  remember  that  blue  Monday,  September  22,  1929,  the  day  of  our 
arrival.  What  a  merry  time  slipping  and  sliding  from  building  to  building, 
to  classes,  and  dining  room  through  the  mud  and  rain  as  the  rain  fell  on,  and  on! 
How  unkind  we  thought  old  Man  Sunshine  was  for  not  playing  his  part  and  giving 
us  a  warm  welcome  to  the  castle  of  our  dreams.  True  it  was  that  we  wanted,  and 
needed  the  sunshine,  but,  oh,  how  common  it  was  to  see  the  poor  "C's"  attempting 
to  aid  the  rain  in  its  day's  duty  by  sympathetically  mixing  huge  tear  drops  with 
rain  drops. 

"C's"  we  were  called,  but  what  did  that  mean  to  us?  Was  it  because  we  were  not 
rated  as  high  as  A  or  B  ?  No,  it  couldn't  mean  that.  In  that  case  we  should  be 
even  lower  than  "D's,"  and  was  not  that  what  we  would  be  a  year  later?  How 
green  we  were !  The  buildings  were  strange  to  us  and  faces,  faces,  faces  everywhere 
of  girls,  women,  teachers,  and  only  one  lone  co-ed.  all  strangers  at  first  but  not  for 
long !     Of  course  we  would  soon  gain  their  friendship. 

Green  C's  we  were,  but  when  told  we  could  organize  we  lost  no  time  in  getting 
our  affairs  into  shape;  and  soon  we  felt  sure  that  we  would  sail  on  the  ship  of 
"Success"  with  Captain  Nellie  Stewart  and  her  mates  in  command. 

Initiation!  That  horrible  day.  How  we  dreaded  it!  Finally  the  day  came, 
and  we  felt  that  it  was  doom's  day,  and  no  less,  as  we  entered  into  the  performance 
of  the  day  expecting  anything.  As  our  preceeding  fellow  C's  had  done,  we  came 
out  tired  but  better  and  wiser  girls.    To  our  surprise  we  had  enjoyed  it. 

Time  had  slipped  by  and  Thanksgiving  was  approaching.  Everybody  was  telling 
us  about  the  basketball  games,  but  we  the  "<  "s"  knew  from  that  time  on  we  could 
be  victorious  over  the  "D's."     We  won  ! 

Thrills!  Our  "C"  year  was  ended  at  last.  Books  could  be  turned  in,  trunks 
packed,  diplomas  presented  to  the  "D's"  and  Seniors.  Oh,  bountiful  prophecy, 
and  drift  into  homeland  once  again. 

All  too  soon  August  melted  into  September,  and  again  the  gong  sounded.  This 
time  we  were  "Big  Sisters,"  not  the  insignificant  "Little  Sisters"  as  we  were  the 
preceding  year.  Now  we  realized  that  it  was  we  who  could  be  good  scouts  and 
direct  the  "C's"  and  Freshmen  over  the  campus. 

We,  one  hundred  seventy-one  strong,  were  making  a  short  cut  for  our  longed  for 
diplomas.  A  few  of  us  played  the  part  of  a  sly  fox  and  came  two  summers,  thus 
receiving  our  diplomas  in  December;  others  came  one  summer  and  received  their 
diplomas  in  March. 

In  our  second  year  Myrtle  Kuykendall  was  put  at  the  helm,  who  with  her  sub- 
ordinates was,  to  steer  us  through. 

As  before,  we  were  eagerly  prepared  for  initiation,  then  for  Thanksgiving.  Alas! 
The  struggle  was  over  and  sadly  we  surrendered  our  treasured  token,  the  cup,  to 
the  "C's"  and  congratulated  them  on  haying  been  victorious  over  us,  the  Senior 
Normals. 

Our  main  problem  of  our  Senior-Normal  year  was  practice  teaching.  Could  wo 
live  through  it  and  look  the  same?  Where  is  the  "D"  who  has  not  experienced 
sleepless  nights  and  heart  breaking  days  worrying  over  practice  teaching?  We  lived 
through  it it  was  not  so  bail  after  all!  Another  problem the  Senior- 
Normal  play.  Who  would  be  chosen  for  the  hero,  the  heroine,  and  whatnot?  Thrills 
and  heart  throbs ! 

This  year,  too,  passes  on.     Nothing  is  now  left  except  history  and  memories.

The   TECOAN 


Senior  Normal  Class  Prophecy 

/^\XK  cold  dreary  night,  we  were  comfortably  seated  on  a   soft  bear-skin   rug 

^-^  before  a  large  open  fire  in  the  "Y"  lint,  discussing  graduation  and  the  trips 
we  hoped  to  take  after  our  college  career  had  ended.  As  we  sat  gazing  into  the  fire, 
one  of  the  huge  logs  rolled  over  and  from  beneath,  a  blue  flame  leaped  up  making 
a  strange  noise.  We  looked  at  each  other  as  if  demanding  some  explanation.  We 
were  dumbfounded  when  we  turned  back  to  the  fire.  Within  the  name  was  the  dim 
outline  of  a  plane.     Suddenly,  the  fire  was  gone,  and  we  were  no  longer  in  the  hut

but  standing  watching  the  big  plain 
Lo!  it  was  our  president  looking  d 
around  the  plane  in  traveling  tugs,  t 
to  commencement  in  1941,  one  hundr 

All  the  girls  had  come  in  plai 
in  regular  liners.      Roommates  and   old   friends   were   reunited; 
exciting  time  with  everyone  trying  to  talk  at   once.     Greeting 
were  sib-need  by  the  beginning  of  the  commencement  program. 

Afterwards,  the  entire  elass,  with  guides,  joined  a  sight  seeing  tour  of  the  campus. 
Many  new  buildings  bad  changed  the  appearance  of  our  Alma  Mater;  even  the 
old  buildings  seemed  strange  as  they  had  new  units.  The  new  dormitories  were 
occupied  by  the  co-eds,  who,  in  fact,  out  numbered  the  girls.  The  beauty 
of  the  lake  called  forth  memories  of  the  beginning  of  that  work.  The  whole 
campus  was  a  model  in  landscape  gardening.  As  we  crossed  the  antiquated  rail- 
road track,  the  rusty  engine  was  an  object  of  hilarious  laughter.  We  had  almost 
forgotten  there  had  ever  been  such  an  object  as  a  locomotive  engine.  When  we 
asked  our  guide  about  "privileges,"  she  laughed  and  said,  "all  we  know  about 
them  is  what  we  find  in  the  queer  little  purple  handbook  found  in  our  library 
museum. 

By  three  o'clock  Monday  afternoon,  we  were  ready  for  our  tour  around  the 
globe.  The  smooth  hum  of  the  motor  signified  the  readiness  of  the  plane  for  its 
journey.  All  were  aboard  in  a  short  time;  the  crowd  moved  back  as  the  massive  ship 
arose  in  the  air;  and  the  class  of  1941  gave  us  a  send  off  with  a  resounding 
cheer. 

What  a  chatter  on  the  ship !  We  were  finding  out  all  about  each  other.  We 
were  thrilled  over  the  fact  that  one  hundred  per  cent  was  back  for  the  reunion. 
All  were  still  teaching,  though  many  had  changed  their  names  to  ones  they  liked 
better.  Two  records  broken!  and  now  we  were  one  hundred  per  cent  on  the  ten 
days  trip  around  the  world.  How  interesting  were  the  tales  of  home  building  and 
school  management !  Each  had  a  unique  way  of  ruling  the  two  at  the  same 
time. 

At  the  end  of  ten  days  we  were  back  on  campus.  Each  girl  was  eager  to  get  out 
her  own  plane  and  go  back  to  her  own  home  and  life.  All  pledged  to  return  in 
1951. 

The  dying  sound  of  the  last  plane  seemed  to  end  in  a  splutter  which  suddenly 
became  a  falling  coal,  and  lo !  rubbing  our  eyes,  we  saw  the  flame  flicker  out, 
leaving  us  in  the  semi-darkness  of  the  "Y"  hut.

Fi.iiwkk:      Daisy 


Sere's  to  the  "C"  Class 
In   whom   you  can   trust. 
'Tis  they  that  have  courage. 
So  conquer  they  must. 

They   seek  for   the   best   thin 
That  this  life  can  give. 
Their  accomplishments  give 
Incentive  to  live. 

In    victory,    respectful, 
In  defeat  they  are  gay, 
Each    up  and   each   down 

Is  a  step  on  their  nay. 


Ho  to  thee,  our  own  "C"  Clas 

We  turn  with  much  thought. 
For  'tis  thou  that  will  profit 
From    what    we   arc  taught. 


a  n  ii. 


With    accomplishments 
And  defeats  just  a  few. 
"0"  Class,  we  are  sure  of 
A   bright  future  for  you. 

Oh,   then    let    us  gladly 
Face  the  toil  and  the  strife 
Though   hardships  confront 
We  will  smile. — that  is  life.

Let  us  sing  a  song  of  -praise  to  our  Society, 
Hail  to  thee.  0  Sidney  Lanier! 

Loyal  members  ever  -proving  your  sobriety, 
Though  our  fun  to  us  will  e'er  be  dear.

Let  us  ever  our  motto  uphold. 

Always  faithful,  true,  and  loyal  to  thee,  night  and  day,

Oh,  Emerson  Society,

From  the  View  Point  of  a  Freshman 

'  I  "»HE  day  of  days  had  come  at  last,  and  here  I  was  at 
■*■  E.  C.  T.  C.  I  gazed  around  me  at  my  surroundings, 
and  with  a  homesick  sigh  I  entered  a  building  called  Cotten 
Hall.  There  I  met  Miss  Morton.  After  the  preliminaries 
had  been  staged,  one  of  those  intellectual  sophomores  led 
me  to  a  room  in  another  building,  and  there  left  me.  Was 
this  place  to  be  my  home  for  four  long  years?  Visions  of 
home  and  friends  passed  through  my  mind,  and  my  longing 
for  home  got  the  best  of  me  for  a  few  minutes. 

After  a  few  days  I  became  one  of  the  "gang,"  and  we 
really  had  good  times.  Things  went  on  as  usual  about  a 
month,  and  then  it  was  announced  that  we  would  be  given 
a  chance  to  join  a  society. 

Then,  initiation  week  rolled  around.  Mother  never  thought 
I  was  much  of  a  housekeeper  when  I  stayed  at  home,  but  the 
way  these  upper-classmen  had  me  chasing  around  doing 
their  fall  cleaning  for  them,  they  must  have  thought  me 
quite  an  artist  at  such  tasks.  I  walked  in  the  road  like  all 
Freshmen,  and  my  hair  made  a  good  sliding  board  for  the 
flies.  Every  time  I  came  to  a  door,  I  barked,  meowed,  and 
brayed  until  I  became  a  real  musical  artist. 

Last  quarter  I  dreamed  of  compound  interest  and  bank 
discount;  but  this  term  it's  aliens  and  sun  behavior  till  I 
really  can't  think  of  anything  else.  I  don't  know  why  I'm 
writing  all  of  this.  I  do  not  know  how  to  end,  so  I'll  stop. 
Three  cheers  for  E.  C.  T.  C.

On  the  morning  before  the  initiation  all  the  college  girls  were  thrilled  through

Ballad 

By  V.  0.  Mee,  C.O.D.,  P.D.Q.,  N.G. 


I  came  to  college 

To  get  a  degree, 
But  I  soon  found  out 

They  don't  give  'em  free. 

I  bought  a  book 

To  help  in  the  cause, 
But  my  report  showed 

There  wasn't  no  Santa  Clai 

I  took  Chemistry  Lab., 
But  I  still  don't  know 

How  they  can  take  out  water 
From  HoO. 


I  liked  Trig  very  well, 
Took  it  four  years; 

Then  we  two  parted 
In  silence  and  tears. 

I  tried  a  little.  Physics, 
But  it  proved  a  killer; 

I  switched  to  Education, 
Just  far  a  filler. 

Xow.  I'm  on  the  fence, 

And  feeling  free; 
But  I  had  to  leave  college 

Without  a  degree.

We,  the  Staff  of  the  1931  Tecoan,  have 
endeavored  to  portray  in  this  book  a  true 
picture  of  the  Development  of  Women  in 
North  Carolina — and  its  relation  to  this — 
Our  College.  We  have  displayed  some  of 
the  outstanding  women  of  the  different  periods 
in  North  Carolina  history  with  hopes  of 
revealing  to  you  the  development  that  Women 
of  North  Carolina  have  made  today.  With 
this  we  have  woven  a  picture  of  the  year  in 
its  many  happy  phases,  and  we  sincerely  hope 
that  you  will  give  this  book  a  place  in  your 
Library   of  Memories.
