The Trailblazers
Go To "Monsoonland"
By Ellen Templeton
On Saturday, October 30. the
Trailblazers left for the Hatteras
campsite. The trip seemed
“destined” to fail. It began at
9:45 a.m. instead of 9:00 a.m.
due to “three little delays”. Then,
as the journey was to begin, the
cars (that were originally
planned to follow one another)
seemed to go their separate
ways. Thus, everyone arrived at
different times.
Finally, the Trailblazers got
back together and began setting
up the tents. That in itself was an
“experience”.. However, after
the tents were up, everyone
engaged in a game of football or
frisbee.
At about 5:30, the “gourmet
chefs” began work on supper. We
were slightly “rationed”, but it
sure beat our school
"restaurant”.
As the evening went on the
Trailblazers (or rather Mr.-
Dewar) made a bonfire on the
beach. So this was where
everyone was "supposed” to
remain. However, the members
engaged in more "games” and
"plays”. It goes without saying
that the evening was very much
enjoyed. We even had “live”
entertainment with John Meador
on the guitar.
After everyone finally got “to
sleep”, the wind picked up and it
began to rain The tents which
had been put up with maybe just
a little too short of stakes, swayed
back and forth. One tent
coUasped and we could see two
“little lumps” lying underneath
its “remains”. And one tent was
caught by the wind and blown in
such a way that only a pole with a
flapping canvas remained.
Neither of the two tents oc
cupants seemed to notice.
Finally, the third tent was blown.
However, this particular tent was
“wisped off to sea” and its oc
cupants did indeed notice it. It
was still pouring and we were
soaked. We gathered up our
"worldly” possessions and
jumped in the car. Shortly
thereafter, the other members
“abandoned ship” and got into
their prospective cars.
It was decided a short time
later not to stay at Hatteras until
1:00 p.m. as planned but to leave
then at 7:30 a.m.
Although the “pleasures” of
Hatteras may not be enjoyed by
the Trailblazers for awhile
had no casualties and no one even
drowned.
Cage Squad Optimistic
Of Winning Season
By VERA LAMBERT
Apart from the daily activities
at Chowan I felt the need to ex
perience another type of change,
that unexpected change came
about after I watched some
basketball players in a game.
Within a few days I t>ecame
turned on to the tremendous
durability shown by these players
and I quickly asked someone,
“Who are these guys who can
cover these feelings of strength
to strangers? “They are the
Chowan basketball team of
course.
After practice session that day
I talked with a tew players to gain
a more knowlegable awareness
about basketball, its players,
their thoughts, goals and am
bitions.
I began my first interview with
Steve Johnson, a soi*more with a
bright disposition.
“Can you tell me Steve, what
kind of outlook you have about
this year and your future goals?”
“I feel this year is going to be
the best for Chowan although we
do have one of the toughest
schedules in the history of
Chowan basketball which means
relatively less practice between
games. I play generally just for
enjoyment although competition
helps my game. What the future
holds for me is a basketball,
senior college, scholarships and
to possibly become a coach.”
The next day provided an
opportunity to talk with Eddie
Kearney, team manager for the
Braves.
“Eddie primarily what does
your job consist of?”
“As manager my job is
basically one of keeping stetistics
of scores during practice games
and informing the coach of out
standing players in offense and
defense. Anofter one of my duties
is helping the players out with
their minor injuries as well as
working with equipment.”
“Eddie as manager this season
have you seen any pro basketball
hope fulls?”
“Well, for the brief time we’ve
practiced I’ve observed maybe 3
OT 4 potentials.”
As Eddie readied the equip
ment for the next practice session
I spoke with Doug Long, one of
the many new freshman, who
stated that he came to Chowan
primarily for basketball.
“What were some of the main
factors that brought you to
Chowan for basketball?”
“I was told that Chowan has a
outstanding basketball program
under coach McCraw and I
t)elieve that a junior college will
prepare me better for senior
college.”
Later I spoke with Kevin Davis
about the previous scrimmage
game in which the Braves over
took North Carolina Wesleyan.
“Did that pre-season game
Chowan College photography
instructor and graphic arts
student, Hugh Lewis, wiU reach a
milestone in his career when he
exhibits one of his portfolios in his
first one-man photography show.
The librarian at Chester
County Library in South
Carolina. Bill Kay, has invited
Lewis to exhibit a group of his
photographs beginning Nov. 13.
Lewis, whose hometown is
Chester, has selected 45 prints,
most in color, and about 25 will be
on display at any given time, he
said. The photographs are mostly
of “esthetic farm and country
scenes in Chester and Fairfield
Counties,” Lewis explained.
Lewis has a dual relationship to
Chowan’s School of Graphic Arts.
He has served as a photography
instructor since graduating with
an associate degree in
photography in 1975. He is also a
sophomore in the graphic arts
program.
Lewis has earned awards in
both fields. He was one of two
students named outstanding
sophomores in Photography at
Honors Day in 1975. He was also
one of five selected for the Order
of the Silver Feather for out
standing service to the college
and community.
This past May, Lewis was
named tte outstanding freshman
in graphic arts. Lewis believes a
knowledge of the graphic arts
and printing field will help him as
a professional photographer.
In addition to his Chowan
studies, Lewis has studied nature
photography the summer of 1974
at Rochester Institute of
Technology, and principles of
commercial photography one
week the summer of 1975 at
Winona School of Professional
Photography in Indiana.
Lewis has wo.-ked with two
newspapers, The Herald in
AhosMe and The Journal in West
Columbia. S.C. He handled sports
and special assignments for The
Herald for four years. The
summer of 1975, he was a staff
(diotographer for The Journal.
Lewis said this experience “gave
me insight into the real world of
photography.”
After graduating from
Chowan’s graphic arts program
in May, 1977, Lewis plans to
transfer to Rochester for two or
three years of study leading to
the bachelor of arts in
(M'ofessional photography.
Lewis is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Clayton Lewis of Murfreesboro.
His father is dean of students at
Chowan. His grandmother, Mrs.
C.M. Banks, lives in Chester. His
paternal grandparents, Mr. and
Mrs. H.H. Lewis, live in Green
Sea, S.C.

stand up to your expectations
about college ball”?
“Yes, the final score was 103-84
in our favor but I feel that in
order to stay at the top it will
require consistant teamwork.
One of my personal goals is to
improve my game to the best of
my ability and work hard on the
floor as well as off the floor”.
“What is an advantage of
playing basketball on a junior
college level?”
“One advantage is that a junior
college is just as tough, com
petitively, and just as good as
some four-year schools”
Gerald Joyner a 6-6 center
forward for the Braves “In your
opinion Gerald what is the key to
having a successful year?”
“I’m sure that if we play tough
and work at improving our game
we’ll make it to the top.” “Do
you have any short range plans
for the future after you leave
Chowan?”
“I’m considering on enrolling at
N.C. State, to hopefully play
basketball.
A returnee from last year, Joe
livertnan. who is now one of the
captains for the Braves gives his
advice to freshmen players.
“The main thing I consider
important to freshmen to
remember is to concentrate on
scoring and to play tough. The
transition from high school
basketl>aU to college l>all is going
to tie a challenge but with the
team stirring together for one
main advantage we will be able
to deal with it game by game.
Reginald Higgs another cap
tain for the Braves was
unavailable for comment.
After practice that day I had a
chance to talk to the coach, Bill
McCraw, what was your season
record last year and who are
some of your most promising
players this season?”
“Last year we had a record of
14-13. I think returnees will do
fine this year with the help of the
freshmen. Newcomers Lamb,
Long, Purvis and Scott have
potentials becoming this seasons
freshmen pick, although all play
a good game.”
“Could you tell me what im
provements have been made over
last years game concerning of
fensive-defensive attack?”
“This year we seem to be a
little better on offense but weaker
on defense.
“What are some of the ad
vantages and disadvantages of
operating a basketball team on a
junior college level?”
“In a junior college team the
(dayers tend to be shorter in
height which means maybe not
enough strength around the
basketball, but we do have good
jumpers who are just as quick”.
November, 19. will mark the
official opening of the Chowan
Braves Basketball season, with
the exception of two scrimmage
games this will be the first true
match of the season. The Braves
will take on Anderson College in
Anderson SouUi Carolina for the
Electric City Classic.
By now they’re changed back
into their street clothes and look
like average guys although I
know their not because I’ve seen
them exert themselves to the
fullest. And then they leave
weary and tired but with enough
determination to start another
tomorrow. . .
