Edited by the English Department of Ahoskie High School STAFF h EDITOR-IN-CHIEF _ Sybil Myers I SPORT EDITOR Arthur Greene JOKE EDITOR ..Horace Johnson UTERART SOCIETY REPORTERS Mae HoUoman, Mary Hoggard SCHOOL NOTES EDITOR. Ernestine King FACULTY SUPERVISOR ...y. Miss Emily Gayle I i SOME ADVANTAGES OF A! NINE-MONTH'S SCHOOL Aa our eight-month's ^phool ia drawing to a cloaa those who have been concerned in the school work during this term are forcibly re minded of what benefits a longer term would give. Among these we might mention a wider and more thorough curriculum. In many subjects the pupils are forc ed to cover the ground at such a rapid rate that the course is not as thorough as-the instructors wish, therefore in the fall after a four month's vaca tion so much more time is devoted to review than is necessary in a longer term school. Again we would be able to give more satisfactory programs. So many programs have been prepared in a hurried manner because the pupils have lacked time to prepare their ports. We could give 0 wider scope to athletic contests. Our school has made a most creditable beginning already with basket-ball, tennis and volley ball. But with a longer term our school would have more time to develop county athletics and who> knows but what our school could sup port full field sports and have prises awarded by the citizens of our own community for community contests? This year, the commencement en tertainment given by the grades has been abandoned because of lack of time to prepare the operetta which had been selected. With a longer term this difficulty could be overcome by arranging a schedule which would" give every one a time to practice and enable each teacher fo fulfull her dream, whatever it be. Then, too, so much more import ance is attached to a nine-month's term. People regard it as a higher class school. Tlfc State of North Carolina regards it in just that light. AhosMe has now gone as high in state rating as it can go with an eight-month's term. But we could easily be raised to Class A, Division II if the length of term should be extended one month longer. We respectfully call the attention of the patrons and friends to this urgent need of extending the school term, end earnestly request them to make such provision as is necessary for its insurance next term. f i THE BASKET BALL TEAM OF AHOSKIE FIRST I The captain is a youth most tall With something steady in his gaze, But if you watch him handle the ball, Those of both sides he will amaze. ' In shooting goals he is supreme While he's always calm and cool; This Holloman of Ahoskie's team Who never willingly breaks a rule. SECOND Another player just let me say Has a clear grey eye and pleasant ?mtU His long suit is keeping things his way By jumping center, and he's there in style. If you want the rales, just refer to him "i' Because he is honest aa can be Nothing will he ever skin? Our sure, steadfast, steady C. C. THIRD But the one of them all having meet P*P Goes by the famous name of Horace. Whoever he guards must watch his step * ?J?/' Because I tell you he will win the chase. He's sometimes hasty, you will think. But always loyal, true and tried. With a bounding jump, aa quick as a wink O say, it's flne to be on his aide. FOURTH This black-haired one is alight and ?lender; But swife a a dash the ball is his, Way down to our goal heU always send her. | A playing chance be will never miss, His friends all call him Greene, Bat dent let this fool you in any way! He's there with the goods, I mean! A true sure playerjurt hear m. say. "i. ?.?AjgPWBB A^a^ar^poeUijailow ^ ^ In a guard'* place he's near the goal, But sometimes he seems everywhere, From the crown of his head down to his sole Winning applause while not seeming to care. SIXTH And this one's place? Do I hear you ask? Well no game/can be complete with out him. To plan time, place and cash is his task And wherever he passes all say nice things about him. As the team comes in sight we hear, "there goes Leary." With handclasp firm and happy smile, While a large chorus of girls call him "Cleary", His many friends back him firmly, all the while. SEVENTH Now last of all?and best of all Comes our champion referee?K. T. Kaynor. His eagle eye always follows the ball, He smiles like a king?when Ahoskie is gainer. Should anyone try to be unfair, Any strangers treat us too unjust, Hell say to them, "Just do if you dare, Be square with us?you simply must." EIGHTH And here let us cheer this noble team Such invisible wearers of gold and black! May they always be just as they seem May truth, courage and honor they never lack! We wish as the years pass along Their names will be famous in His tory's story. Remember both in rhyme and song Rewarded richly with fame and glory. ?EMILY GAYLE.

The judges of the debate cast their votes in favor of the negative. There being no further business the Society adjourned. COLUMBIAN LITERARY SOCIETY The Columbian Literary Society met Friday, March the sixth in the school auditorium. The meeting was called to order by the president, after which the minutes were read and roll called by the secretary. Two girts were appointed by the president to make candy to sell the coming week.

As- there was no further business the society adjourned. BOY SCOUTS ORGANIZE Last Friday evening Mr. ^endows, Secretary of the Ahoskie Chamber of Commerce, organized a troup of boy scouts. The need of this organisation had long been felt keenly here, and many boys were eager to join when the opportunity presented itself. Con sequently twenty-one youngsters answered to roll call Friday evening, and the following organization was perfected. Scout master To be selected Troop Adjutant Harold Yert FIRST PATROL?EAGLE Patrol Leader Harry Copeland Asst. Patrol Leader ... Jack Catling SECOND PATROL?WOLVES Patrol Leader Haywood Phaup Asst. Patrol Leader ..Leo Alexander THIRD PATROL?Incomplete, only four members Another meeting will be called sometime during the present week, and enough new members are ex pected to complete the third patrol. At this meeting membership fees will be-paid, and a charter sent for. Other business affairs relative to boy scouts will be taken up. All boys interested are asked to come and talk the mat ter over and see if they want to join. Those who have joined really mean business, and it seems that a real permanent organization is now under way. The Boy Scout organization has for its object the training of boys in the line of citizenship, good morals, and some military life. It flta the adoles cent youth better than any organiza tion yet established, and it is with much pleasure and pride that we wel come its appearance here. ATHLETIC NOTES Even though no baseball ground has been found, yet the boys are un daunted, and expect to play a few aorundthun-oETAOIN ETAOIN NN games anyhow. Several schools around near have asked for games. Perhaps we shall play Lewiston Fri day; it is not certain. Volley ball is still raging on our campus. It is more popular on cool days, since 'it requires rather much energy to play it well. One thing which adds to its popularity is the fact that so many can play at a time. It is our intention to stage a game commencement if the weather be agreeable. Tennis has made its appearance on our campus during the past week. A splendid court has been marked out, regulation aise, and the older boys and girls are taking hold of the game nicely. This game has long been a favorite summer sport with us. We have received a list of the >tb letic events to be held at the County Commencement, and expect to be represented fully in them. This means much practice for the differ ent contests. As usual when the prizes are announced, Ahoskie will be there with her share. It is the purpose of the present school super intendent to cooperate with the county in the various school activi ties, and much interest in the athletic events will grow daily as this time draws near. SCHOOL NOTES Misses Emily Gayie and Louise Buff aloe were shopping visitors in Norfolk, Saturday the 7th. We were very glad to have with us last Friday morning, during exerciaei, Mr. Meadows, 8ecr?tary of the Chamber of Commerce and Mr. V. D. Strickland also a member of the Chamber of Commerce. ' Mr. Meadows talked to the boys about o? ganixing the boy scouts In AhoeUe. Of course this greatly aroused the in terest of many of the school boys from the ages of twelve to eighteen years. His talk was greatly enjoyed by all, including the girls. Candy was sold in the hall of high school building, Tuesday, April 3rd. The proceeds which were one dollar and sixty cents, were deposited with the treasurer of the Columbian Lit erary Society. y Misses Goldie Lassiter and Alpha Newaome are confined to their nomes v/ith measles. Miss Beatrice Overton is also kept at home with mumps. These three1 are all members of the Freshman class. The Freshman Class of Ahoskie High, went on a hike to Stoney Creek, last Wednesday afternoon. Supper was eaten at the creek, and all start ed back on their long, long trail about seven o'clock. Unfortunately they were caught in a terrific storm and were thoroughly drenched. We truly believe that most of the green was washed off. Miss Bessie Qeddy, and Messrs. K. T. Raynor, T. R. Bain, and Columbus McKeel, were the gussts of Mrs. D. L. Myers Saturday evening. Mr. K. T. Raynor was the $ueat of Miss Margaret Sessoms at dinner, Sunday evening, the 8th. Scholarship Medal On Friday morning, just after chapel exercises, the students of the High School received a very gratify ing surprise in an announcement by M.r V. D. Strickland to this effect. The Chamber of Commerce has offer ed a scholarship medal to the Senior who has made the highest average during the four year's course.
