IN OPENING ADDRESS
“The one purpose of our college
is to train elementary school tea
chers whose scholarship, citizen
ship, and personality will warrant
their favorable consideration by
school superintendents and prin
cipals throughout the country,”
declared Dr. James W. Seabrook,
president of the college, in his first
assembly address of the school
year.
After outlining the goals toward
which the college will work dur
ing the year, he insisted that a
college student can do no better
for himself or for his college than
to make an all-round good record.
“The record made by its students
go a long way in adding status,to
In conclusion. Dr. Seabrook
pointed out that “education is
more than a matter of scholarship
alone—that its total objective is
the molding of successful person
ality, and that therefore any eval
uation of a student should be an
appraisal of habits and qualities
of character as well as of scholar
ship.”

New Dormitory
Asso. Nevy^s
The New Dormitory Association,
under the dynamic leadership of
Mrs. Daisy G. Coles, got off with
a bang this fall. The warm and
cordial hospitality exemplified by
her gave each of us a desire to
work hard and accomplish many
things. From the outset the mem
bers of this association developed
a feeling of oneness as old room
mates were reclaimed and new
ones accepted. In order to have a
success in any phase of life, one
must exert himself. This is the
attitude we are taking as we go
about our year’s work.
As one of our beginning activi
ties, we gave a Silver Tea on Oc
tober 18. The centerpiece, which
was given by Mr. H. M. Eldridge,
consisted of white chrysanthmums
and fern. In the future we
plan to present a series of movies
such as “How to Think,” “How to
Make Good on Examinations,” and
“How to Study.” We also plan to
dbnate to the Athletic Scholarship
Fund.
Our Homecoming decorations
consisted of two football dummies
made by the members of the New
Dormitory Association. One rep
resented F.S.T.C. and the other
E.C.TC. At the beginning of
Homecoming the bronco was up
with the ball and the pirate was
out on the ground. It was embar
rassing to notice the outcome as
the pirate knocked the bronco to
the ground and stood up with the
ball.
Another accomplishment is the
filling of our bookcase in our dor
mitory office. Some books were
secured from the library while
others were given by faculty mem
bers. These include texts on fam
ily life, personality, grooming,
manners, thinking, social graces,
and a lot of interesting novels.
The office, recreation room, and
parlors are provided with current
magazines and newspapers w'
aid jn developing ;weU-riyjLt
dividuals.
The New Dormitory Association
officers for this year are: Presi
dent—Odessa Walker; Secretary—
Theresa Hogans; Asst. Secretary—
Doris Pridgen; Treasurer—Dorothy
James.
Sponsor: Ellaine Mitchell.
Directress: Daishy G. Coles.
