ORGANIZATION OF THE
ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
i
The Athletic Association of Ahos
kie High School, composed of 37 in
terested and enthusiastic students,
organized Monday, September 18,
1922. After brief discussions and
suggestions as to the general purpose
of an athletic association by Mr. K.
T. Raynor and Mr. T. R. Bain, the
association preceded, in an orderly
manner, to nominate and elect offi
cers.
From a field of five nominees, Har
ry Holloman was elected president;
Spurgeon Isennower was acclaimed
vice-president while Elisabeth Dilday
was elected by an overwhelming ma
jority over three other candidates as
secretary and treasurer. The ath
letic editors of "The Indian War
whoop" were selected as reporters for
the association. The captains and
managers of the various athletic
teams will be elected later. After the
election of officers, other important
matters of the association were dis
cussed.
The Association hopes to develop
athletic teams who will do justice to
the standards of Ahoskie High School';
teams that will hold the banner high
and at the end of the game, march
from the field triumphant and victor
ious.

PARENT-TEACHERS ASSO
CIATION TO BE ORGANIZED
A meeting of all the patrons of the
school is called on Friday night, Octo
ber 6, at 7:80 in the auditorium of
Mm High School building. All per
sona in any way interested in the ed
ucation of their children, and in the
development of Hie Ahoskie High
School are cordially invited to attend.
The Betterment Association will hold
its Ant meeting then, and an effort
will be made to combine that associa
tion and other etube in town Into a
Parent-Teacher Association. An in
Realizing the necessity and value
of journalistic work, the English De
partment of Ahoskie High School has
decided to edit one page in the Hert
ford County Herald, dealing witn
school problems and school life. It
had been our plans to edit an inde
pendent high school psper, but see
ing this impossible, we are this week
editing the initial publication of "The
Indian Warwhoop." We have select
ed a code of aims and purposes, by
which we may -guide the destiny of
our high school weekly. They are as
follows: ^
_ 1. To give vent and'expression to
'the literary ideas of the high school
students.
2. To encourage and to promote all
worthy school activities and organisa.
tions.
3. To offer suggestions for the bet
terment of the school and to criticise
all movements which would tend in
any way to injure it.
4. To give the patrons a needed
knowledge of school problems and
activities.
In the begmning, may the editor
state that all Just criticisms and sug
gestions are welcomed, especially do
we desire those which convince us of
our fault and at the same time offer
a correction. .
We desire to thank the editor of
the Hertford County Herald for his
most generous offer in giving the page
on which "The Indian Warwhoop"?is
printed, for we realise without this
offer, we would have no outlet in
which to express our views and opin
ions. May the editorial staff have the
hearty support of all patrons.
ATHLETICS AT A. H. S.
m ? * ? . ? a i a
rnysicm eaucauon nas long o?en
recognized by our large city high
schools as one of the greatest es
sential* to scholarship and discipline;
for we must first train our bodies that
our minds may have a suitable place
in which to develop. For the first
time, this idea is penetrating our
rural schools and in many cases, is
proving a marked success. They are
?beginning to realize that the ancient
theory of "books and books alone" is
totally incorrect and that the proven
theory of athletics and physical edu
cation is one of the fundamentals of
scholarship, discipline and a progress
ive school. Ahoskie High School,
while ranking high among the schools
of the State in its curriculum and
literary work, is sadly trailing the
standards of the majority of accred
ited high schools in physical educa
tion and athletics.
Heretofore, it has been almost com
pletely crushed, being considered, as
side-line instead of a vital phase of
school development It is a fact, of
which we are not proud to relate, that
Ahoskie High School has never in its
history developed an athletic team
worthy of is name, being handicapped
in many outstanding ways. Perhaps,
it would be proper to enumerate sev
eral of these causes.
1. We have never received the fi
nancial backing, so necessary to a
victorous athletic team.
2. There has never been created
the interest and enthusiasm in high
school athletics, prevalent in other
schools and towns of oOr state.
3. The material for successful ath
letics has been lacking, but we feel
sure that by careful coaching there
is an abundance of material for the
1922-23 season.
Let us as a progressive high school
turn a new leaf, consider athletics
in the proper light, and by putting our
shoulders to the wheel, make AHOS
KIE HIGH SCHOOL, champions of
this great Roanoke-Chowan section
in all the major branches of athletics.
With the financial aid and encourage
ment of the patrons, we hope to de
velop a basket-ball team able to vie
with and conquer Rich Square and
Winton, tennis and basketball teams
able to win the laurels of the Roanoke
Chowan section and immediate terri
tory. Ar^, you not anxious that we
should win these trophies? Then, my
patrons, encourage our team until
?they shall wish, as Alexander of old,
for new worlds to conquer. Let's
make athletics at A. H. S. a reality
instead of a dreamt
t?resting program is being arranged,
and the evening will be spent very
pleasantly. All patrons are urgdil to
attend. K. T. RAYNOR.
Superintendent.
* ANNOUNCEMENT!
All patrons and friends of -the
school who are interested in athletics
are asked to contribute to the treas
ury. These gifts with the donor's
name will be published weekly in
"The Indian Warwhoop." The don
or* will be considered as honorary
members of the Athletic Association.
Send all funds to Miss Elisabeth Dil
day.
SCHOOL NOTES?GENERAL COM
MENTS
On account of the large number of
pupils in some of the grades, another
teacher was found to be necessary.
So, on last Monday morning Miss
Hilda Bailey of Wakefleld, Vs., took
her place among us. She will teach a
part of the sixth grade and a part of
the third grade. We welcome Miss
Bailey in our midst and hope that she
will enjoy being in our school and
town.
Teachers Entertained
On last Friday evening the teach
ers of the school and a few others
were delightfully entertained in the
home of Mrs. E. Hayes. Early in the
evening an enjoyable English contest
was put on. After much amusement
the prize?a little booklet?was won
by Miss Mary Thomas. After the ex
citement of this contest was over an
other?"Nuts to Crack"?was enter
ed upon. This prize, a set of nut picks
was won by Miss Bessie Gaddy. These
prizes were presented by Alton Hay
es.
Refreshments, consisting of cream
and cake, were served by Mrs- Hayes,

Miss Bettie Williams Tayloe, one
of our former teachers, was the re
cipient of a beautiful silver basket on
last Tuesday, given to her as a wed
ding gift from the Junior Class.
Our wit and humor section of "The
Warwhoop" is lacking, altho we hope
to print a comical section in future
? \ - _ , . ? ; I
edition!?thoroughly interesting to
?Jl.
Hi* Sallie Barnes,one of oar for
mer teacher*, was married to Mr. La
ther Savage of this city, Wednesday,
September 20. Miss Barnes has taught
in oar school for deversl sessions and
we found her to be a very capable
and able teacher. She will be missed
very much during this session bat we
hope that she will And much pleasure
in her married life.
The members of the Junior Class
were glad to have as their guest last
week Miss Leathea Baxemore, a for
mer member of our class. As it is im
possible for her to continue in our
class this year, we hope that she will
visit us frequently.
Miss Ewa Bones of Pulaski, Va.,
one of our former teachers, paid the
school and a town a visit We were
delighted to have Miss Bones with us.
She had accepted work apd is now
teaching in the Morehead City school.
Miss Bones was delightfully enter
tained at a lawn \party given in her
honor by a group of high school girls.
Equipment for basketball courts
has been ordered- and is expected at
an early date. Also volley ball equip
ment has been ordered.'The athletic
association would be very glad indeed
if either Planters and farmers ware
houses would offer the use of a sec
tion of their Aoor for a basketball
court
The order of class organization
seems to be reversed: Seniors, Arst;
Freshmen, second; Sophs, third; and
Juniors, fourth.
Editor's Note?Due to mechanical
conditions a large section of the
"Warwhoop" was omitted from this
issue. However, this will be over
come next week.
Ripping up the cotton stalks before
afrost will send the weevil into winter
quarters early and hungry.
