"THE INDIAN WARWHOOP" Edited by the English Department of Ahoskie High School STAPF EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Sybil Myers SPORT EDITOR Arthur Greene JOKE EDITOR - Horace Johnson LITERARY SOCIETY REPORTERS .Mae Holloman, Mary Boggard * SCHOOL NOTES EDITOR??- -.Ernestine King FACULTY SUPERVISOR Miss Emily Gayle IDEALS OF THE COLUMBIAN L1TEKARY SOCIETY There ia nothing that exists without a purpose so, therefore when the Columbian Society was planned, we had a definite purpose in view. Our ideas or aims should always be of the highest standards and therefore we are endeavoring to make our society second to none. At prouent our society is training in debating, in recitations, in readings from the ebts types of literature, from both old standard and present day writers. Also the members are becoming pro ficient in the business world because of the several ways in which they have managed to raise money for the needs of the society. All of this is very commendable but there are other ways in which we may carry our aims still higher; among them are the fallowing; 1 1. In recitations or declamations, every time we are put on for a reci tation o$ declamation, do not ever ' say "It is too long" or "I haven't the time", and similar remarks but as 1 Ions? as we are nut on. talre tKo taoV with ? smile. You know each person is on only once in three woeKs. Learn the recitation or declamation and above all, even it it MUST be read, put expression into it Don't learn it just because you HAVE to, but because of your own will. 2. In our debates, it is well and good to get help if we get it in the right way. What is the good of hav-' ing some one to write all of your debate and then you read it at society? None whatsoever. If the subject is too deep, get some one to help you by giving you some points, but you, yourself work out each point separately and learn it by heart Use expression and determination also give rejoinders. Several famous men have won debates by rejoinders. The famous Webster-Hayne debate which was given in Congress in 18S0 was won as much by the rejoinder given as anything else. Doubtless if a preson writes his or her own de bates and is very familiar with the subject, he can certainly give at the very least, one rejoinder. 3. We need more songs which we might class under solos, duets, trios, quartettes, or choruses. All these are very helpful although we have ne glected this too much. In the future let us have more of these songs. 4. Also musical recitations. We have had only one so far. But, of course, the Columbians do not intend to keep this record. In my estima tion, the very best thing we have ever had on our programs, has been the dramatisation of "That Old Sweet heart of Mine." We are thus cultivating aesthetic tastes as well as the material side of life. The aesthetic side of life has been much neglected, especially since the war which has necessitated the making and saving of the dollar more than ever before. Our material is here; we have tal ent in this society; so let's make use of it. Let us always face the future with a smile and sail ever onward. Let us never try to shirk a duty, but count it a privilege to be on the pro gram. True Columbians, ever forward !j Look not back on what has been done. For success is just before us. We have only to "sail on." ?SYLVIA APPLEBAUM. 9th Grade. THE HESPERIAN UTERARY SOCIETY The Hesperian literary Society held He renter meeting February 23rd, in the auditorium of the High School.

Affirmative; Nellie McKeel, Merton Earley, Locke Craig John son. Negative: Charlie Dilday, Carrie Newiome, Ruby Coleson. The affirmative won the decision. The solo by Randolph Dilday win especially good and was enjoyed by all so well that he rendered another selection fully as good. Our program was centered around the life and works of our first presi dent, George Washington, who was the hero of his day and the father of his country. The stage was beautifully decorat ed with colors in honor of. Washing ton's birthday. Miss Jewell suggested that we have a scrap book. This suggestion was heartily approved of by all the society. Mr. Bain gave a short talk which was very helpful to the society and highly appreciated by each member. There being no further business the Society adjourned. THE COLUMBIAN LITERARY SOCIETY The Columbian Literary Society met February 23rd. After the meet ing was called to order by the presi dent, the minutes were read and roll called by the secretary. The treas urer's report was given amounting to forty-one dollars and ninety cents. The constitution which was drawn up some time ago, was adopted by the society. A short discussion followed con cerning the plans for a social to be held that night. The judges for the debate, Sylvia Applebaum, Ada Belle Seasoms, and Haywood Early were then appointed. As Ernestine King, the standing critic was to take part in the program, Mabel Claire Hoggard was appointed to take her place for this evening. There being no further business, the folio wing .program was given: "Makers of American Literature" Ina Mae Odom Recitation, "Washington", .'.Mary Hoggard "Life of Washington" Viola Odom Current events Mary Sumner Recitation, "Lincoln, the Man of the People" Els telle Newsome Life of Lincoln Sallie Newsome Pen pictures Eva Hoggard Debate: Query; "Resolved that Wash ington was a greater statesman than Lincoln." Affirmative; Harry Hol loman, Harry Copeland. Negative; E. C. Hobbs, Ernestine King. The program was a Washington Lincoln one, and was exceedingly in teresting. Each number was helpful, but the debate was more interesting than any that has been given for sev eral weeks. All four debates gave rejoinders which helped to keep the interest op. The judge's decision was unani mously for the negative. After the report of the critic, which was very justly rendered, the society adjourn ed.

WIN 16 TO 7 The Old Gold and Black added another victory to her ever increas ing list. This time the victim was Winton High School. The game was played at Winton on an ontdoor Court. Winton was the first to.score. They scored 6 points before Ahoskie even pitched ? foul. The wind hindered i the players from pitching foals. The ' first half ended with Winton on top, ? 8 to 6; Winton pitching two field and i two foal goals; Ahoskie pitching one field and three foul goals, i In the second half Ahoskie follow i ed her custom when she is behind, she i "stepped on the gas", and when the I timekeeper's whistle blew, Ahoskie , had delivered the goods for a 18 to i 7 win. i The game was full of personal ' fouls, Brett and J. Faison, Winton, ? being removed for too many personal - fouls. Besides these there were fouls on other players. , If both sides had made a fair per t centage of tries for goals, the seyrs > would have resembled something like i the national debt ? The guarding of both sides wai I good. Sessoms did the bulk scoring I for Ahoskie, with 8 points to his cred ? it. Holloman pitched 5 points and > Garrett #? Downes; 3 points, wai s the only Winton player to get ovei ? two point*. "Cheese" Falaon pitched - 2 points, and Brett 1. "Tack" Fai son, substitute for Brett, was the onl) ? Winton player to score in the secouc I h^lf. The best he could do was t? ? to** the ball in once for a free trial. In all Ahoskie outplayed Winton, I holding Winton down to one point in I the second half, while she pitched i eleven. Winton won the first two games, I 10-8 and 12-9 respectively, while i Ahoskie won the last two, 12-6 and ' 16-7. The next or fifth game will tell i the tale. It is probable that this game will be played at Ahoskie. i The line-up and summary is as i follows: AHOSKIE (16) WINTON (7) Holloman R.F. Rhodes Gsurett L. F. Downes Sessoma Center Harrell Greene R.

Less Meat If Kidneys Bother Take a glaaa of Salts If your gith hurts or Bladder troubles you. No man or woman who eats too much meat eaa make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well lmown authority. Big meat eating may dowel op uric acid, which excites the kidneys; they become overworked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to Alter the waste and poisons from the blood; then we get sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dlisinsss, sleepiness and urinary disor ders often come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull aebe in the kidneys, or your beck hurts, or if the urine is ckmdy, offensive, 'all of sediment, irregular of passage or at tended by a sensation of eoakiing, stop eating meat and got about four ounces of JWd salts from any pharmacy; taka ? tables posaful in a glass of water be fore breakfast, and in few days your taidnajs may act flue. This famous salts is made from the arid of grapes aad lemon Juioe, combined with lithia, and haw been used for generations to flush aad stimulate the kidneys; also to naotralite the acids tat urine so it , no longer cause* irritation, thus often ending bladder sookmiii. Jad Salts la Aoansnsivn and earn not I injure; makes a cMightful effervescent ; lithia water drtslc, which ereiyons should take mow aad then to help keep ; the kidneys clean and active and the 1 Mood purs, tksrehi often avoiding oar i fain kidney ooopllowtiofes.
