"THE INDIAN WARWHOOP" Edited by the English Department of Ahoakie High School = STAFF ?B EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Sybil Myers SPORT EDITOR Arthur Greene JOKE EDITOR Horace Johnson LITERARY SOCIETY REPORTERS Use Holloman, Mary Hoggard SCHOOL NOTES EDITOR Ernestine King FACULTY SUPERVISOR Mias Emily Gayle AHOSKIE WINS DEBATE Ahoskie and Bethel engaged in i heated debate here last Friday night The query wast "Resolved, that Con gress should provide for the enforce ment of the decisions of the Railwa' Labor Board." Even the subject wa rather deep for high school students yet both teams showed thorough stud; of the question, and put up convinc ing arguments. Ahoskie upheld thi affirmative and Bethel defended th< negative, file debaters for Ahoskie were Bessie Cowan and Thomas Bak 10 er; those for Bethel were Eva High smith and Elmo Mayo. The strength of both teams was evenly matched, and the crowd at once straightened up in their seats when the first speak er began, for they saw at once that a battle in argument was on. Each succeeding speaker only added more interest, as broader and deeper argu ment was brought out on both sides. The audience realized that public speaking and argumentation had once more appeared in Ahoskie after a lapse of several years. Ahoskie felt justly proud of her debaters, for they were excellent Bethel eould well be proud of her team, too, for it was a splendid one. It was the general opinion of all who attended that this debate was the finest school even of any kind during the present session. Those who stay ed away were simply robbed of a great and pleasant occasion. SEEING EASTERN CARO LINA V _____ If any one had been awake early Monday morning: he would have aeen several cars quietly going round in the moonlight The reasons are as follows: A boat ride had been planned with Edenton as its objective point, those going being the Senior Class, the H S. faculty and Miss Mina Holloman, the Seuior sponsor. All planned to leave by sunrise and return by moon light. Dr. Arthur Greene was the generous host and Mr. Claud Vann, the patient and efficient pilot. The party left town by six a. m. via Winton. Our boat embarked about I nine a. m. as the courage of some had given out at the thought of so early an hour. The river was matchless having only a slight ripple. Our boat afforded us shelter from wind, hav ing two cozy and comfortable cabins, while we all could find comfortable chairs on deck. Everyone drank in the beauty of the shore, the wonder ful ozone and bright sunshine. After a two hour run the boat docked at Colerain and all enjoyed a delicious dinner spread on the beach table. But wishing to reach historic Edenton we hastened back on board. Once again we joyfully set out, making the run in two hours. Our party went up town in a body attracting many curious glances from those on the streets. Our party sep arated here, several of us going with friends in a car and visiting the court house and were shown the identical tea-kettle used at the famous tea party, while the remainder of th< crowd visited the oldest church it Albemarle, next to the oldest churct in the state. While there we saw th? .graves of Governor Eden and Gover nor Walker. We passed by the oU Cupola House formerly a governor*! home, now a library. The party re-embarked about i e o'clock and the remainedr of the tri] was made in the matchless path oi the radiant moon light. All return ed reporting a glorious time. * HESPERIAN LITERARY SOCIETY f The Hesperian Literary Societ] B helAits regular meeting Friday i, MSch the 30th, at three o'clock. f Owing to sickness both the pre si . dent and vice-president were absent I and Spurgeon Isenhower acted ir . their place. i Our secretary and assistant secre . tary were having a triangular debate . with another school so Sailey Burgess i acted as secretary.

Many of the unscrupulous have come and gone in these seventy six years. Adopting Charles Darwin's evolution to present-day meaning, the undeviating growth of this con cern is but another exemplication of the "Survival of the Fittest*' NEVER BEFORE in our history have we shown such a gorgeous assort- ' ments of perfect diamonds?diamonds of all sizes and shapes. It has been said that modern jewelry is the finest the world have ever seen. This is especially true in the latest creations of platinum-mounted pieces. Many of these magnificent specimens are moderately priced. Here one may purchase the finest diamonds at an expenditure no larger than is required to secure, in some stores, stones of questionable quality. APRIL?the month of diamonds With April, Spring virtually begins. Spring, with all its gladness and its vernal col ors. And with the Spring tide comes the diamond, pure and sparkling, to adorn the blithesome season. The dia mond symbolizes devotion. A gift so fine should be the finesjt. If you select it from our stock it can not be other wise. The April Bride and her jewels This year the April bride will wear jewels. They will blend perfectly with her gown 'and the surrounding settings. The special pieces to be seen oftenest will in clude earrings, pearl neck laces and necklace pendants holding colored gem-stones as wel as the gems, and brooches. This admirable touch of accord has taken the fancy of the Spring brides and grooms. Write for our General Catalogue Paul-Gale-Greenwood Co. LARGEST JEWELERS SOUTH DIAMONDS WATCHES SILVERWARE DR. A.
