In addition, orders are continuing to trickle in. This is the best year they have ever had. In years past, the range for cake orders were from 60 to 75. There were more orders than usual since forms were sent along with Parent’s Day mailing for spring Parent's Day. Whereas they had made maybe five or six Valentine cakes at the most in the past, this year they had 33 orders. Alpha Beta Gamma hopes that the cake orders will continue to increase. In addition to selling cakes they have been busy getting ready for their for mal initiation ceremony. Alpha Beta Gamma plans to hold its Annual In itiation on Monday, March 13, in Robert Marks Hall Auditorium. North Greenville Mounties Take Championship from Braves 1 STUDE By Ken Traino Six A.M. workouts, held on Mon day, Wednesday and Fridays, help to produce a winning team. An average workout consists of thirty to forty-five minutes in the weight room, running for ten to fifteen minutes and finishing up with stomach exercises such as push-ups and sit-ups. Coach Jerry Hawkins hopes to be one of the top four teams for the tournament and hopes to be con ference champions. The 1989 Braves’ ball club is good defensively. Physically stronger than last year, the Braves are hitting better than years past. A weak point of the team is in pitching numbers. They have one or two good pitchers and one or two relief pitchers but come tourna ment time the Braves might have some trouble in this department. Not knowing exactly what his star ting line-up will be. Coach Hawkins plans to start as many sophomores as he can. Hawkins has two or three good players for some positions, so one will start one game and another one game and so on. Then Coach Hawkins will compare these players and pick his starters. According to sophomore Pete Hudson, “We are planning to have a good season and with our strong in field we hope to have a good record.” Although the Braves first two games were canceled because of weather, the Braves will be hosting thirteen home games and will be playing eight away games. The 1989 Chowan Braves Baseball Team are as follows: Softball Outlook By Ken Traino Softball Coach Rene’ Osborne hopes to be competitive in Region 10 this season. A tough league is ex pected with North Greenville, Spar tanburg, and Methodist being strong teams. The Lady Braves are expec ting to be playing about twenty-four games this season. Although Coach Osborne doesn’t really have his starting line up yet, he is feverishly working on it. Having mainly freshmen on the team hasn’t helped to make any decisions easier. Last years record was sixteen wins and seven losses. Osborne hopes the team will be able to do that or better. Two players that have positions already are Kristy Hill, 3rd base and Sue Straw, pitcher. Kathy Del Gais, the Region 10 Player of the Year (position of pitcher), will be greatly missed by all. Filling her shoes, though, will be Sue Straw. Sue is looking good early but doesn’t have the velocity that Kathy did, however, she has better control. Kristy Hill, who made the All Region Tournament Team last year, will be the dominant force of the Lady Braves. She also batted over 400 last year. Workouts are a major priorty of the Lady Braves training schedule. Stretches, throwing, batting and sprints are all part of the program. Until the next paper, see you ALL at the games. Up for the rebound. The Braves start on the come back trail. Back Row (L-R): Will Smith, Blair Johnson, Greg Miller, Scott Corbett, Coach William Sowell. Front Row (L-R): Gary Cothran, Melissa Herring, Terry Tierney. Coach Sowell Expects Good Spring for Golf The Carolina Junior College Con ference is a new conference for Chowan College. Playing against teams from North and South Carolina, which are mostly private or church related schools, will be tough on the Braves this season. Last fall the Braves finished with a 15-11 record, “warm-up games” as Coach Sowell called them. Coach Sowell is expecting an excellent spr ing with lots of potential. Eight to ten matches will be held with only one home match on April 20th. The tournaments held last fall were good to the Braves. They finish ed 2nd in a 3 day tournament in the mountains of Virginia, 2nd in the Junior College Division of the Fer- rum Invitational and finished 4th out of ten teams, both Junior and Senior Colleges, at the Hampton In vitational 3 day tournament.

Soph 83 By Ken Traino A cold, rainy day invaded the campus of Chowan College on Febuary 27, 1989, but the Jesse Helms Center was bubbling over with excitement. The Chowan Braves were about to play the North Greenville Mounties for the con ference championship. An almost full student body section sat in awe as the Braves lost by a score of 87-89. With the opening tip off Mounties had taken an early lead. The braves slowly battled back to regain the lead at the halftime buzzer with a score of 35 to 30. A low scoring first half ac counted to missed shots and both teams not being able to make the re bounds. The first part of the second half was upsetting to the students. The referees were making bad calls and the Braves were slow and giving up to many turnovers. Suddenly Coach Burke gave the signal to call a time out. During the time out the coach must have given the Braves something to play for, because the last five minutes of the game were the most exciting. The cheerleaders did an excellent job in keeping the students involved with the game. The three point shots made by Chowan didn’t hurt either. With two minutes left, the Mounties had a lead of 80 to 74. Trying to waste time, the Mounties started to have trouble holding onto the lead. Ten seconds left, the Braves closed the score to 84 to 89. With a three pointer at the last possible moment the score closed to 87-89. Three, Two, One, the North Greenville Mounties had taken away the conference championship from the Braves like a man taking candy away from a baby. A roar of disbelief went through the crowd. Don’t worry guys, we’ll get them next year. Student Finds Checkbook Mr. Richard Taylor lost a checkbook last month. Richard and his friends looked for it, but could not find it. Then the next day, one of the international students from Japan brought it into Dean Lewis’s office. It was a wet checkbook which he said he found near the entrance to the sna>k bar. The international's name is Soichi Akachi. This example of the lost checkbook illustrates so well what is meant when one says, “Chowan College is people centered.” Classified Ads HELP WANTED CRUISE SHIPS—Now Hiring Men and Women.
