Page 8 THE CHOWANIAN, CHOWAN COLLEGE, MURFREESBORO, N. C. Thursday, March 27, 1924. CHOWAN REPRESENTED (Continued from page 1) urday morning, the students showed themselves interested in and con cerned over the observance of Sab bath on the different campuses which they represented. The discussion was led by Frank H. Leavell, Execu tive Secretary of the Inter-Board Commission of Southern Baptist Con vention centered around a question naire touching on all phases of cam pus life. “It is a glorious thing to be young in this plastic day”, Dr. B. F. Brown of Knoxville, Tennessee, said in a strong and most convincing address of spiritual optimism. “In every walk of life men and women declare the supreme need of the world today is Christ. Consecra tion is the biggest word. We must give our time, our talents, culture, and our influence to Him. The plastic world is in our hands. How are we going to mold it?” Mr. J. B. Southern, a student of Furman, said that “The greatest problem on the campus today is the purposeless student who drifts from class to class with no definite aim ever in mind. There is but one solu tion, and that is to bring him face to face with Christianity. Christ can transform the purposeless student in to a man or woman of noble outlook.” Misses Juliette Mather, Jessie Bur- rae, and Louise Foreman each brought wonderful and inspiring mes sages. Mr. E. H. Puryear, a student of the University of Richmond, struck ctie Keynote oi 'tne'^rifete Conference when he spoke on “Student Standards of Action” asking the question, “Why are we here at the conven tion?” There are 93,000 Baptist stu dents in the South, and 60,000 of these do not attend church. On ev ery campus there is some problem and that was our reason for being at the conference. The auditorium was full for the closing service Sunday evening which was indeed a splendid farewell mes sage by Dr. Harry E. Clark exhorting the students to use their all in helping to make their individual college cam pus one for Christ. GONE BUT NOT FOR GOTTEN SOPHS WIN GLORY (Continued from page 1) boro. All instructions were carried out in letter and spirit. The people of the town were at first startled, thinking that they were being raided by a bunch of escapades from the lunatic asylum. Soon, however, they were lead to believe differently when they learned that it was Sophomore Week, and the girls were a band of sane and healthy college students, the best sports ever. After having spent about two hours canvassing from house to house, the Sophs following persistently in their footsteps, the data obtained was collected and com piled. This computation gave a reve lation of some startling facts about Murfreesboro’s cat population, show ing that the town boasts of seventy of these graceful quadrupeds, but they differ widely in age, complexion, and religion. Whether the credit is due the Sophmores or Freshmen for win ing such widespread fame and pub licity for Murfreesboro and her cats is a question. This event was pub lished in practically every newspaper in the state and in many outside the State. The story figured prominent ly in the Baltimore Sun and Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, appearing on the front page in heavy type. The Sophs are good sports too, and are willing to give credit where credit is due, and in this case they hand it to the Freshies. They were so com pletely won by the fine spirit shown by their victims that in appreciation for the excellent sportsmanship, they gave a weinie roast for them. ' 'Sophomore ^eek was~a challenge to the class. The fact as revealed to them that they must step lively in or der to keep pace with their prede cessors. The Sophs proved them selves tactful task masters. The Freshies, in performing these tasks so admirably, proved themselves to be game sports. Their sense of humor, no doubt, was functioning profusely throughout the entire week, otherwise they would have suffered some severe jolts and much humiliation. The value of the quality of a sense of humor and a true spirit of sportsmanship which was manifested deserves strong emphasis. Yes, she is gone—from the Sophomore class, from the Soph omore table, from the art studio, from the violin studio, and from room No. 22, to Conway, N. C., where she will make her future home. She has made numbers of friends while in school here that will still be her best friends, al though she has chosen a com panion in preference to them. She is a talented young artist, having specialized in art since her entrance in college. The following announcement has reached Chowan: Miss Myra Elizabeth Benthall and Mr. Obed Clifton Futrell married on Tuesday, March eighteenth nineteen hundred and twenty-four Weldon, North Carolina Edna Mills—I eat more when I am happy than at other times. lola—You stay happy all the time then, don’t you?
