Horace Garrett, Emma Woo ten JOKE EDITOR Elisabeth Dilday "SCHOOL NOTES" Editors Mabel Claire Hoggard and Celumboa McKeel. LITERARY SOCIETY REPORTERS?Mary Sumner, Bessie Cowan FACULTY SUPERVISOR -Miss Emily Gayle O 1 ?J Comments: The debate to be given by membera of the Hesperian and Columbian Lit erary Societies before the regular ses sions of the Parent-Teachers' Asso ciation will show to a large degree the splendid work which these two societies are accomplishing. We ear nestly aak that a large number of patrons and friends be present at this meeting as we are Quite sure the debate will be hotly contested, while your presence will greatly encourage our young orators. The query, "Resolved, that Nature has more influence on the formation of character that Education," is of a serious nature and one which we should give considerable attention as physiologists have recently advocated more studies of nature and one which we should give considerable attention as physiologists have recently advo cated more studiea of nature in the curriculums of our high schools and colleges. It is also a quay which is practically evenly divided, neither side having the advantage. The affirmative is to be represented by Sybil Myers, Mabel Claire Hog gard, Horace Garrett and Lowell Powell while Emma Wooten, Mary Hoggard, Columbus McKeel and Spur geon Isnehower will uphold the nega tive side of the query. The arrange ment of the debs tors is rather uniqut. The affirmative team is composed of two girls and two boys, two members of the Junior class and two members of the Senior class, two members of the Hesperian Literary Society and two of the Columbian, while the nega tive team is composed in the like man ner. ' t ii ?'V?"I ?' Again, we ask that large numbers be present as it is a proven fact that speakers are never at their best with only a small number as their audi ence. Lend the debaters your en couragement by your presence. ? Although defeated by a slight mar gin?only one field goal? in the basket ball game with Winton High Thursday, the score 10-8 is "slightly different" from the scores 26-7 and 24-6 by which Ahoskie High School was defeated by this same school last season. This means that our team has been strengthened materially *or the team of Winton High has been ' weakened considerably. The secret is practice, not that ?mton nas Deen weakened by the loss of Dickerson for Ahoskie has also lost White and R Oamtt It most be remembered that this game was played on Winton's court, the ^hoskie boys naturally not being accustomed to the goals. The Winton boys will play a re turn game this week on the Ahoskie court and if "The Warwhoop" dope is not upset, the bacon will remain at home. But in this year when foot ball dope has its wont upsets and probably basket ball dope the same, we do not prophesy as we should like; but all we say is that we are expecting a rousing victory for A. H. S. We have noticed thht lately, the literary societies of A.H. S. have not shown the spirit of "pep" and en thusiasm which characterised their beginning. The Hesperian literary Society, however, is an exception and we are forced to admit from all ac counts and hearsays that they must be showing considerable improve ment. The Columbian Literary So ciety, although containing a wealth of excellent material, has not meas ured up to our expectations, but in the very near future, we can give the 'Hesperian a clear warning: "Hake room for the Columbiap and content: yourselves to a lower round." We are quite sure that within a few weeks, the Hesperian will lead a merry chase in an attempt to sur pass the Columbian. Seventh Grade Entertain* ' On last Saturday evening the pu pils of the seventh grade entertained their teacher, Miss Mina Holloman with a surprise party. Promptly at seven o'clock the entire grade assem bled at Mies Nellie May Baker's and went in a body to Miss Hollo man's. Quietly they approached the hoaae and entered the porch before their arrival was announced. They were received at the door by Miss Holoman and her sister Miss Maude Holloman, and ushered into the par lor. Beth vocal and Instrument*! music was rendered by Misses Emily Sumner and Rebecca Feldman. Sev eral stunts were given by each one present. At eight-thirty everybody was in vited in the dining-hall to enjoy cream, cake and home-made candy. Miss Holloman gave a toast to the seventh grade and Miss Nellie May Baker responded with one to their teacher. Again we assembled in the parlor where many games were played, the moat popular one being "Clap In and Clap Out" v. ? At ten o'clock the visitors were reminded of the lateness of the hour by the appearance of a "dignified" senior. Very reluctantly they 'de parted, voting it a very enjoyable occasion. Those present were: Misses Mina and Maude Holloman, Mary Catling, Myrtle Green, Addie Mae Cooke, Ella Boseman, Nellie May Baker, Vivian Powell, Emily Sumner, Pearl Gatling, Rebecca Feldman, Helen Doughtie, Amelia Thomas and Eliza beth Cullens. Messrs. Heywood Modlin, Henry Clay Odom, Edward Hill, Henry Miller Harriaa, Bernard Harriss, Heyward Phaup, Lenoard Lane, Clyde Fretwell, Craig Vaughan, William Odom, Harold Yert, Theo. Mitchell and Leo Alexander. Winton Dafaata Aboakia The basketball teams of Ahoskie and Winton played a very close and interesting game on the court of the latter Thursday afternoon, Novem ber 2. The score stood 10-8 in Win ton's favor when the timekeeper blew the signal that marked the end of the game. The teams were both slightly off, this being the first game each team has played this season. Both teams appeared about equal in ability, neither being able to throw a foul goal. Both teams showed good spirit and good teamwork; neither attempting any star plays. The people of Winton were lavish in their praise of the Ahoskie team. Through out the entire gape Ahoskie made no kick against any decision of the referee. They play clean ball all the time. Below is a summary of the A. H. S. Position W. B, S. Holloman R. F.

We hope that they will give several programs soon. Misses Thelma Jewell and Louise Buffaioe, two member* of the High School faculty, spent Saturday in Norfolk shopping. % Much interest is being taken in the Parent-Teacher meeting which will bold its regular monthly meeting in the school auditorium next Friday night, especially by some of the stu dents who are preparing to give an interesting debate. f Miss Louise Buffaioe, the first grade teacher, gave her little folks an enjoyable time last Friday after noon, by taking them for a short "hike." Our seventh grade teacher was much surprised on last Saturday night to receive a visit from her entire grade which turned out to 1^ a sur prise party which all enjoyed but especially the teacher. John White, one of our former schoolmates and one of our best ath letes, seems to be making an enviable record as a center la basketball at Drivers High School. We noticed in Sunday's Virginian-Pilot that the Drivers team recently defeated the Kings Fork High school team to the tune of 65-4. In this gam?, accent ing to the Pilot, White threw a large number of goals from "difficult angles." FUNNY BOX * . I ?!! " The Professor?A man should have a solid foundation for his career and that means he should have a good head on his shoulders. ' The* Freshman?I'm all right there. The track coach says I've got the solidest dome on the team. A school principal noticed a dusty globe in one of the class rooms. This discovery annoyed him, and putting his finger on the globe, he cried out: "There's dust here an inch thick." It's thicker than that, sir, spoke up one of the boys, "you've got your finger on the Desert of Sahara." "Sally," said a boy to a girl who had red hair, "get out of my way or you will set me on fire." "You need not be uneasy," said she," you are too green to burn." h . . ? ? V S,, ? ' 11 ?' III I '? In ? primary room the taacher pointed out a letter and asked a small boy to name it "O", answered the child, correctly. "Good, Sammy I You're doing well, and what", pointing to C, 'is this letterT" "It's the same only somebody has bitten a piece out of it" "Pa", said little Frank, as he turned the pages of his history, "how did the cliffdwellers keep warm In winter timet" "Why, I guess they used the moun tain ranges, now don't ask me any more foolish questions. When ice cream grows on macroni trees; When Sahara's sands are muddy; When cats and dogs wear B. V. D.s; That's the time I like to study.

"THE LOVES OF PHARAOH" MOST GIGANTIC PIC TURE PRODUCTION OF DECADE With 112,000 Mm and Woman Tak ing Part in Battle Episode*, It Ranks Among Pictures ? to Date I More persons are said to appear in I "The Loves of Pharoah" than in any| other motion picture ever made. The spectator sees 112,00 persons in this, most tremendous production directed by Ernest Lubitsch, creator of "Pas sion" and "Deception." When Mr. Lubitsch announced at a. luncheon in New York, that 112,00 persons ap peared in "The Loves of Pharaoh," some of those who heard him were frankly skeptical. That was far more than were used in "Passion," "Decep tion" and "The Birth of a Nation" combined. Mr. Lubitsh turned for corrobora tion to his manager, Paul Davidson, who showed a receipt from a theatri cal agency for its commissions for furnishing 112,0666 extras during the filming of the , Paramount picture "The Loves of Pharaoh," which will be the feature at the RICHARD THEATRE next FRIDAY and SAT URDAY. A sale of 68 of carefully selected Jersey cattle will be held at the Sel wyn Farms near Charlotte on Novem ber 9th.
