Work At Last Meet Dean Heads Clean-Up Crew At the final Future Teachers meeting of the year, April 24, Miss Camp summarized the activities of the local chapter for the past year. In addition to its monthly meetings the organization sponsored one speaker, Mr. Hutchins, and two assembly programs. These assembly programs took place during Education Week. About half the members attended the district meeting in Asheville in October, and about the same number were present at the state meeting of NCEA in March. Miss Freda Mae Hall, of W.C.T.C, was elected vice- president of the state organization of the F.T.A. Mrs. Jean presided at the State Departmental meeting. Frank Plyler made a talk, and Miss Pauline Dills represented the State Future Teachers at the classroom banquet. Members of this chapter of the F.T.A. have visited a number of high schools in this area and have spoken to the senior classes with the purpose of interesting them in training for teachers. Among these are the following: Louise Nesbitt, Highlands; Josephine Curto, Brevard; Ira Mae Richardson, Sylva and Webster; Harest King, Andrews; Charles Frazier, Canton; Fannie Howell, Waynesville; Mrs. Jean Miller, Lee Edwards in Asheville; Frank Plyler, Franklin; Pauline Dills, Bryson City. At this final meeting of the year, elections for next year's officers took place. The following were elected: Wesley Lothrey, president; Louise Nesbitt, vice-president; Edgar Carpenter, secretary. Frank Curcio made a talk at this meeting on Horace Mann, the great educational reformer who advocated the value and need of public education for the masses. He started teachers' institutes in normal schools, and introduced coeducation. Mr. Mann also advocated the teaching of mental hygiene in public schools. Josephine Curto spoke on Archi- ball Murphy, a North Carolina educator, who is, sometimes referred to as the "Father of Education." Mr. Murphy believed in a certain amount of religious education in schools. He advocated better transportations systems in North Carolina. After the meeting refreshments were served at Joe Wallin's shop. Miss Ashbrook Js Presented In Music Recital Betty Jean Ashbrook, talented young music pupil of Mrs. Inez W. Gulley, was presented in a song and piano recital in the Student Union building on Sunday afternoon, April 20th. Betty Jean also gave the program for the grammar school the latter part of the week.

Hunter and Dr. W. A. Ashbrook attended a quarterly meeting of the Western North Carolina Associated Communities in Brevard Tuesday, April 15th. There were about sixty to seventy members present, according to Dr. Hunter, who were the guests of Ecusta Paper Corporation of Pisgah Forest, N. C. J. Herbert Stone, Regional Director of the U. S. National Forestry Service, spoke on "Pisgah National Forest, Outline of Policies and Programs of Development," Reports from several committees were presented concerning the preservation of Pisgah and Nan- tahala National Forests and how limitations of the use of forest timber could be executed. The group dined in the Ecusta Cafeteria and was serenaded by the Ecusta entertainers. Asheville will be the next site for the meeting which will be held in July. Dean Albright Heads Clean - Up Campaign On our campus there have been many clean-up campaigns "launched", but none have succeeded in arousing the enthusiasm and action as the present campaign launched by Dean Albright. The campaign opened with the assistance of Mr. L. H. Halibur- ton's Wednesday 1:30 history class. During the same period, signs were put up on the campus. The most outstanding of these is a life size image of a "cop" holding a sign, "HELP PHILLIP McCAN", painted by June Wright; another of the outstanding ones is Bye Brink- ley's; it reads: PLEASE W.C.T.C—Son or Daughter Do you love your Alma Mater? If so—it should be your duty To protect her vernal beauty. Lad or Lassie—woman or man Put your trash in yonder can. Other signs as: "Be A Campus Cleaner," "Help Keep Our Campus Clean," and "Be Campus Conscious Every Day", having been posted at various places on the campus are bringing attention. Dean Albright said: "I am very pleased with the campaign and with the results it is bringing." A Campus Institution In colleges and universities today, as always, there are so-called institutions which spring up within for purposes other than education. On our campus there are many such institutions, such as a coke at Joe's, thumbing to Sylva, Dean Albright's flowers, and coffee at Tyree's. One of the most outstanding of these institutions is coffee at Tyree's. The small, but cheerful, apartment in Madison Hall has been the gathering place of students for years. A play performance is never complete until every moment of it is re-acted over a steaming cup of Tyree's coffee. Many an exam on all courses has been passed, thanks to the "cramming" the night before in her big lounge chair. Within those four walls many a forum has been held on domestic and national affairs. It is somewhat of an honor to have one's picture in the annual or the paper; but the greatest honor one can receive for his photograph is to have it placed in Tyree's collection which is strewn on every shelf and corner of the apartment. Pictures may be found in her collection of most of the outstanding students of the last years. Many people who drink coffee must have it a certain way: strong, weak, or medium. But no one complains about Tyree's, even though at times the cream is stronger than the coffee. Through the vine-covered halls of our campus many a student passes. But his journey is never Lemmond Wins First P r i z e In Monogram Amateur Pr o g r a m Vaughn Lemmond won first prize of $15 by playing boogie woogie on the piano at the Monogram talent show, Saturday night, April 26. He was one of six contestants that entered the show. At the beginning of the show, Ralph Williams, master of ceremonies asked if there was anyone in the audience who would like to participate! Mrs. Jack Booker accepted the offer and won second prize of $10. She sang "Mad About Him Blues" accompanied by Speck Everhart and his guitar. Winner of the third prize was Art Beir who did a tumbling act and an act on the parallel bars. He won $5. The entire program was as follows: Maxine Barbour sang "All By Myself" and "Guilty", accompanied by Miss Beimer. Mrs. Velma Ramsey played a classical number on the piano. Carl Painter sang "Bless You" accompanied by Maxine Barbour. Speck Everhart, Jim English and Taylor of Boodleville played and sang "Cindy" on string instruments.

"One Mad Night" Will Be Presented By Training School On the night of May 16, the Senior class of the training school will present the senior play for 1947 in Hoey auditorium. "One Mad Night," a royalty farce in three acts, should provide just that for the audience. A group of fourteen actors, numerous stagehands and helpers, and the director are spending many such nights to produce a thrill packed night of entertainment. The play, directed by Mrs. C. D. Killion, supervising teacher of English in the high school features the following as characters: Lady Macbeth, Jessie Ray Bryson; Priscilla, Elizabeth Chester; John Alden, Hurman Hooper; Mr. Hyde, Olin Boone Jackson; Lucille Marcy, Doris Ensley; Don Cutter, Loyall Bryson; Mrs. Kluck, Marietta Millsope,; Artemus Burke, Clifton Taylor; Dr. Bunn, J.
