It is fitting that the memorial to him should be placed on the west campus opposite his house, where from his porch he loved to watch the girls enjoy the campus. May this not only be a happy meeting place for the girls, but may it keep alive the influ- ence he exerted while at the College. i PAGE ErCHT ■Xol only Doth lu ' -az iroiiiul our liifaiicy VI 7citli all Its splrudors lie ' •Lord.

And yet — they forget In the spring, That the primroses pushing their way through the sod Tell of God. They forget How the sight Of the white Of a dogwood in bloom Made them glad. Tliey seem not to know Of the breezes which blow The white cap of every green wave ; Of the note In the throat Of the wild birds that sing In the spring. They seem to for get That the gold In the hair of a child — That the fold In the red velvet of a rose Is a sign. - nd then, when again Comes the strain Of music which ' mothers have sung Do they sigh When the old lullaby Is begun? Do they know Of the love Which exists between maiden and n Can they tell How the touch of a baby ' s warm c Made them think As nothing else can ? Is it so That they go Through the world Never seeing the hand Of a Great Omnipotent Being? Do they see Without thinking, The primroses pushing their way through the sod? And yet — The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God. -Bessie Willis, iJt;£=i. K ;:r5;jii53. iii E _a5_.5a_, k : . w5 .

' 22. we found uurseKes in our new college home, the one we were to help make, watch grow, and become a part of. hen we had be- come ourselves, we ceased to be teary around the lashes, we were beginning to like our new environment — not casting away the old and assuming the new — but keeping our sincere thoughts of home and finding a place for a new love of our Alma Mater. While we were thus adapting ourselves, we organized our class of twenty-two members with Miriam Shamhart as president. Thus we pursued our duties, but created no undue excitement until May Day; we were then trans- posed into dancers for the May (Jueen. Perhaps we were not as light as feath- ers nor as graceful as lilies. but we received our compliments graciously and celebrated ourselves. In September. ' 23. we returned much improved intellectuallv from what we were the year before, . fter welcoming the meek and initiating the pert Fresh- men, we began to rise to supremacv. knowing that we were Ijeing feared and most of all. knowing that our instructions were being obeyed, . fter having started off the Freshmen in the way they should go. we began to proceed with our year ' s work with Christine ' ick as class president. This year our class had nineteen members. We were not unlike the general run of Sophomores, but in the spring with nameless pathos in the air we began to repent : began to won- der, began to look back itpon the deeds of the past year. Each of the class wondered : Htw shall I tlii. habit break. ' As oit did the liabit make. As oii gathered. oii must lose, .4s you yielded, nozc refuse. So it was that such deep thought and good philosophy insisted that we gi e the much abused and knocked about Freshman class a picnic. We had fun galore, and from that day the class of ' 27 has been our friend. . few weeks later, after having done such a good deed, we turned ourselves into roses and danced for the Mav Oueen.

To the following persons whom we honor with the task of safeguarding our cherished |iiissessions we gratefully bequeath our simjile directions of lending our ]ieisona] |iroperty to any succeeding individual or group who may seek aid from the trials and exjjeriences of the Class of ' 2(). To our parents and friends, who have so gladly given their best to sponsor our educational career at East CaroHna Teachers College we fondly dedicate our best records which we ha ' e attained and trust that our love may ever hold its rightful i)lace in their hearts and memories. Item II _ To our Alma Mater we affectionately bequeath our lo alty and devoted services toward the development of her high ideals and the preserxation of her noble standards. ITK.M III We bestow our unbounding lo e and api-ireciation upon I ' resideiU Wright, the captain of our crew, for his many deeds of kindness in our behalf. iTl ' M W To Miss Morton we affectionately de licate our love and dexotion for her friendship and watchful care. Item V To the faculty who have so paticntlv tra eled the long journev with us and tenderly administered to our e -ery need, we extend our esteem and thanks : moreover, there are further be(|uests we leave for individual keejiing. The Tecoani reluctantlv leave jjortraits of our likeness to be lose to sitp- 1. To Mr. Austin v( used for future references. 2. To Air. Flanag-an we bequeath a helpmate as soon as he has made his choice of our number. 3.

To Miss Hooper and Miss Hall we bequeath our love and gratitude for their untiring efforts in helping to make ' The Truth a success. 5. To Mr. Frank we leave numerous maps and several editions of the World Almanac. These to be used by his history practice teachers. 6. To Air. M. L. Wright and Miss McKinney we leave an api)ropriation schedule to be used ])y the budget committee as an aid in appropriating the stu- dent fund. Item VI To the student body we say, Defend our be ready To serve on time, every time ' . Item VII To the Juniors we graciously submit our privileges of practice teaching ac- companied by the many criticisms that made life worth living. As an aftermath for practice teaching we bequeath the many happy hours that may be spent in chaperoning underclassmen. Item III To the Sophomores we set aside our dignity and all understanding of the parallel reading they may be assigned in English. Moreover it is our desire for them to thoroughly master and memorize all the rules of etiquette before they appear at the many social functions to be given in their honor. Item IX To the Freshmen we leave hopes of a better day and advise th fully administer their duties as proctors for if you are faithful in tht you will become masters in the big things. Item X To the C class we leave the glad tiding that there is a mate for every person (although Greenville is unable to supply the demand), and, if they will accept the charm and grace which we bestow upon them, each will meet him ere it is too late.

All unafraid I walked until I came to a large oi)ening where in the center uf this space, looking into her caul- dron, sat a witch, munihling magic-like words to herself. L ' pon hearing foot- steps, she turned. And what do you want? she said to me. ( Jh. ] ha e such a responsibility. said I. I wish to know what has hap- pened to all of my classmates.

Then she liegan jjuuring unknown ingretlients into the pot and meanwhile chanting the magic words : Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble, Fire burn and cauldron bubble. In this pot the fates are fixed Of the members of the Class of ' 26. .And this is what she told me : Dell Pope, upon graduation, received many offers of good positions in the teaching world. She taught for a while in the schools of Raleigh but is now- Associate Editor of the Nm ' s and Obscn ' cr. She was surprised to find her friend, Fannie Lowe, as one of the advertising managers. Melba Warren succumbed to an attack of the heart soon after graduation and they say that the wedding was one of the most magnificent in North Caro- lina. Her former roommate, Ursula Bateman. was maid of honor, and several of the Class of ' 26 were present at the wedding. Among them were Jennie L. )liver, Mary E.

And then I thought of the Sophomore ' s strife. I saw the Junior with her haughty looks, Then my mind once more returned to my books. I envy them not their joys and their thrills — (Not any more than the taking of pills). I ' ll have my own pleasures some far off day, If I continue my course in the good old way — Since in their pleasure I cannot swirl Let me be like the average Sophomore girl. There are Seniors and Juniors both good and bad ; Some are very happy and others are as sad. The Senior — she loves her privileges many ; (Rut I envy her not — no not any). The Junior — she simply dotes on her looks. hile the placid Sophomore returns to her books. These Seniors and Juniors, good and bad (like me). Are just as interesting as they can be. They ' re careless, they ' re accurate, they ' re slow, they ' re fast, And somehow they always manage to pass. But let the second year student her banner unfurl.

Washes its wall on the northern side. A pleasanter spot you never spied But when begins my ditty, Now, almost a year a go, To see the town boys staring so At girls was a pity. C ' s! They pushed, they shoved, they scared the rats, But they were only babies from the cradle. Hungry? They ate the cheese out of the vats, , nd licked the soup from the cooks own ladles ; The noise they made sounded like cats, They cried and ruined their Sunday hats. And even spoiled the teachers ' chats Bv drowning their speaking With shrieking and squeaking In fifty different sharps and flats. to the school house Many there were with eyes swollen and red, Vet all over some papers bent their heads. Questions, questions, it was like a din And each was answered like prick of a pin. But the registering was over and out they swarmed Like thousands of bees when the weather ' s warm. Yet lips where smiles went out and in .Vs thev went to dinner like a wolf from his den; . nd nobody could a bit admire The table and its quaint attire. Ouoth one, It ' s beef steak every day, Cooked in every imaginable way. Oh, you ' ll get used to it I pray. At last the council in a body To their meeting place came flocking; ' Tis clear, cried the President, laws must be made And as far as our council shocking. To think the C ' s get out with a little squirming Because we can ' t or won ' t determine. What ' s best to be done about squirming. Rouse up girls ! Give your brain ' a racking, Or, sure as Pat, I ' ll send you packing ! An hour they sat in council. Next morning the; went. And many hours of waiting there wer spent. Come in ! a man cried looking bigger And in did come the strangest figure! At length the President b roke the silence, It ' s easy to bid one rack one ' s brain — I ' m sure my poor head aches again, I ' ve scratched it so and all in vain. Oh, for a plan, a plan, a plan! Just as she said this what could hap At the council door but a gentle tap. Come in, she cried, and all gave a look To the door where stood a purple book ! She took it up — looked from cover to head : Rules! Oh, the Freshies would have a dread. And so they did, and the rules had to learn But from then on they knew not to spurn The little hand book of purple and gold That rests in their memory a perfect mould. When into the world we C ' s will step. From our Alma Mater here. Whether we go east, west, north, or south. We ' ll hold its memory dear. Then like a musical adept. To blow the pipe of praise to her The College, who over work did never slur. And on whose books there ' s never been a blur. And ' ere three shrill notes the pipe utters She ' ll hear as if an army mutters From the top of the stair, where we C ' s sing airs We haven ' t stared up the steps, but stepped up the stairs. —Mabel McInnis, ' 27. c??:«M «:??:«:  - 5-.- t .- Tun Tfcoan 5 :Sf: 0?TS5:w P COLLEGE LIFE AS IT IS T pus pn-sfiili ' (l a very piNU ' cful appearance on a ecrlaiii March aftcriKiciii. Girls s ami throe ' s stepped hriskly ahmg carrying books under tlieir arms and evi- p[{ (Icntly discussing Rudolph Valentino, fashions, the ouija hoard, or some other topic of ]b; interest to intellectually inclined college girls. Among these groups of sweater-clad girls m our modern miss stood alone on the steps of the library. It was evident from her chic M costume tliat she was on her way downtown, and it was just as evident from her attitude W that she was waiting for someone as she stood there drawing on her small brown gauntlets. fMi Jolly greetings were thrown to her by all who passed. V , Ji-st then, two girls around the corner of a building saw the one waiting for them and let forth yells which shattered the peaceful enchantment of tlie scene, Joe, Oh, Joe! tliey cried, come here quick, we ' ve got something great to tell you. Josephine soon joined her two roommates, and Mary, the most vivacious of this trio, hastened to tell the marvelous news. Uncle George is coming tonight and you know he promised to take us to the theater. Oh, when did you hear from him, Mary? asked Josephine. Just now, was a quick reply, at least I haven ' t seen the message yet. but it ' s in my room. I met Sue in the hall and she told me it was oH my dresser. Isn ' t it thrilling? What shall we wear? This started a discussion which lasted until they descended from the street car in front of a millinery store. Three important decisions had been made in the meantime. Mary ;| must have a new hat, Josephine must have a new hat, Helen must have a new hat. Having w reached these decisions, the only thing which remained was to select three hats suitable in V size, shape, color and price. The remainder of the afternoon was spent in trying on hats of all descriptions. OT Before entering the fifth millinery store, Helen stopped to set her watch by the town fii clock and discovered that they had only ten minutes in which to reach the College in time p - - for dinner. We ' ll have to run for our lives, she exclaimed, if we expect to get anything [rJ to eat tonight and get dressed for the theater. With this they began racing towards the )E( College, but, tired as they were, they could not refrain from talking about the play they ij expected to see that night and of all the fun they would have the next day in telling the m girls about it. pl Out of breath they reached the College only to discover that the dining room doors had - been closed. Each of them assumed a blank expression. Soon, however, Mary partially re- ' g covered and endeavored to console the other two hungry girls, Why should we worry over that? she asked. Isn ' t Uncle George coming tonight? Of course he ' ll see that we get somehing to eat downtown. Let ' s hurry up now and dress. With this thought the girls ' faces brightened and they quickly followed Mary upstairs. When they reached their room all of them rushed towards the dresser, but no message could they find. Then they began a systematic search of the room, including the table, the chairs, and even the floor. Since they could not find it in any of these places, Mary began again with the dresser. There concealed beneath powder, rouge, and hair nets, Mary found the fateful message and, joyously, she turned to the expectant girls and read: Put your shoes in the closet and sweep under the bed. — Clyde Hooks, ' 26.

The profits from this store are used for sending delegates to the P)lue Ridge confer- ence each ear in the early days of June. It is here that the V. ' . C.

Heretofore, the game was played only between the two Xornial classes. but this year the I ' reshmen, Sophomores and Juniors joined in, making the day more interesting. We had onl - one cup and that to be given to the winning team of the Xormal classes. So we decided for a new cup to he gi en to the winning team of the college classes. This proved to be the Sophomores, and the D ' s of the Xormal. Field Day is another important event in athletics. We have all kinds of sport, from basketball to track. The class that receives the highest number of points in basketball, baseball, ten- nis and track receives the athletic cup. The class winning in basketball receives the basketball cup. . nother thing that adds interest to athletics is the division of the large grouj) of members into two groups of smaller size : that of the Athenians under captainship of Sarah Gurley, and that of the (Jlympians under captainship of Ethel Prevatt. In this way, more work is accomplished and more interest is shown. We hope that interest in athletics will continue to grow as it is something everyone needs and enjoys. — Jexnktti ' W ' ed.more, ' 26.

Her acting was superb. She had the entire audience smiling at her one moment and weeping with her the next. Elizabeth Thomas played convincingly the part of Tom arder. a rather puritanic type of person, who doesn ' t understand a suspicious nature — but has every confidence in his wife. The chief causes of the trouble in the Warder home are two persons. Fred Lindon. a sheikish man of no character, which satirical and easy-going part was excellently interpreted by Isabelle Cromartie ; and Stephen Roland. Becky ' s father, a broken down gambler and a has been. played in a most commendable manner by Hnice Ellis. Lessie Cogdell. in the role of Mrs. Crespigny. Roland ' s landlady who. regardless of his faults, hopes that he is a will be for her. was a scream. She kept the audience in an uproar whenever she appeared. . nnie Mae Edwards, as Eve Lindon. never lost her part as the nervous, jealous wife. Sallie Cheek, as Laura Fraser. was a good foil for her. Bertha Piland as Jenks was a good maid, and Kathleen Dail made an attrac- tive little messenger boy. The girls that took parts of men are to be congratulated on the exceUent way in which they carried out their difficult parts, both in appearance and in action. The make-up was cleverly done. The costumes, which were modem, helped to carry out the idea of the time and place. Possibly the thing that impressed the audience most was the naturalness of the acting. Each actor appeared not to be conscious of the fact that there was an audience, but spoke and acted toward each other with an ease which is ver - hard for amateurs to attain. Their voices were well modulated, so the Hnes were all caught by the audience. The great success of the play was due to a large extent to the untiring efforts of the directors. Miss Emma L. Hooper and Miss Maude M. Hall, both of the English department. The large crowd of people from outside the college was sufficient proof of the good work done by the advertising committee, which consisted of Christine ' ick. Musette Montague. Deanie Boone Haskett. and Macy Siler. The many attractive posters, which were placed in Greenville and several other towns, were effective and did a g reat part in bringing the crowd. The stage committee composed of Ruby Worthington Maude Johnson. Ruth Lowder. and Mary Lowder deserve much praise for their work in making the stage as it should be. The president of the class. Janie Jackson, is also due much praise for her executive ability in managing the plav so that it went off so well. The music, before the curtain and between the acts, a violin ensemble, by Misses Gorrell. Wedmore. Westmoreland and Morton, with Miss Mead at the piano, added greatly to the success of the evening. The ushers for the evening were as follows : Rachel Lee. Frances Smith. Mary Shelton McArthur. Margaret Smith.

This wedding of uuusual interest was solemnized at 6:3t) A. D. Frank hecame the liride of Prof. Ueecher Flanagan. The impressive ring ceremony was perfortned hy Prof. i. L. Henderson, and the vows were spoken liefore an improvised altar decorated with cherry blos- soms and candles. Prior to the ceremony. Miss Sallie Joyner Davis lighted the candles, thereby making the altar one of enchanting beauty. Immediately preceding the ceremony. Miss Davis escorted I ' rof. . ustin. followed by Mr. Adams, to the piano where Mr. Austin rendered some nuisical selections and Mr. Adams sang Just Before the Battle Mother. Mr. Austin wore a unique costume and Mr. Adams was attired in a pink- beaded evening gown, black hat and gray s(|uirrel checker. At the strains of the wedding march the flower girls, R. J. Slay and Prof. R. C. Deal, entered carrying large laundry baskets of pink and blue rose petals which they scattered in the ]iaths of the bride and groom. Dr. Slay was dressed in a dainty white dress with nnich lace and yellow accessories, including hair rib- bon and gold slippers. Prof. Deal was charming in a blue basque dress with pink accessories. Mr. James . . Keech, principal of the Greenville High School, was the ring bearer. He was most elaborately dressed in a clown suit of blue and black, and carried the ring on an E. C. T. C. pillow, supported by a tray. The next to enter was Mr. M. L. ' right, mother of the bride, attended by Miss Davis and wore a navy suit, black hat and sky-l)lue scarf, and wore a cor- sage of pink and white roses. The bride entered with and was gi en in marriage by her father. Prof. Hubert C. Haynes. The groom entered unattended, due to the fact that his best man, Pres. Robert TI. ' right, had another engagement. The bride wore a lovelv white linen dress. She wore a long white veil caught with cherry blossoms and carried an arm bou(|uet of pink and lavender roses. Her only ornament was a necklace of brown beads, perhaps tlie gift of the groom. The wedding scene was of rare interest and was attended by a large as- semblage of students and relatives of the professors. — Lessie Cogdell, ' 26. r The Tfcoak - M eM «;Mr=!« JOKES ( )ur idea of a modern dumb bell is the P ' reshmaii who, when told to observe study hour, sat on the back campus for an hour and watched the Sophs in the dormitory study.

Its ups and downs tortureth me. It maketh me to say naughty words in the presence of my friends. It annointeth my face with tears. My eyes runneth over.

LAUTARES Candy Palace THE EVERY DAY DESSERT Our pure Ice Cream, and Home-Made Candy are more than a dessert. Their food value exceeds that of most table foods.

Lautares Ice Cream has passed the State Food Inspection at Raleigh, and has proved to be a pure cream — and a rich cream. Our Ice Cream Plant has been installed by the Southern Construction and Supply Company, Atlanta, Ga., and is the best and most up-to-date in the State.
