C., and Flora Mae Hood, of Yanceyville, N. C., un der the expert supervision of Miss Gertrude Knott, the dramatic di rector. Miss Carlton will direct this production, with the aid of Miss Knott. “The Awakening,” has been chosen for the name of the pageant. It is to be given in an amphi theater near the college, just across the ravine, and the woods will be transformed into a lovely spectacle. “The Awakening,” is not only to portray a big idea, but is to be a thing of loveliness for all those who witness it. It is symbolic along the line of the Stewart Walker plays, and em bodies beauty for the eye, as well as the mind. The whole Senior Class will participate in this pro duction, and perhaps, it may re quire some members of the sister class, also. The out-door theater is now be ing made ready by Mr. Richmond, the supervisor of the grounds. Every one on the campus is watch ing with great interest the devel opment of this unusual produc tion. Mother Nature will be clad in her most charming attire, and ’twill be truly springtime, even though the sun does continue to be stingy with her rays. The regular graduation exer cises will be held on the morning of May 25, following the pageant. The Seniors are looking forward to the coming of their friends and relatives. SCHOLARSHIPS GIVEN HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS Conway and Weldon Teams Con test Featured High School Weed-End The annual High School Week End, held April 10-11, was con ducted on a somewhat different plan this year. The high schools themselves contested in a track meet while the college girls ob served. The Conway High School contestants had participated in a contest the preceding day, and be cause of the resulting lameness all the events planned were not car ried out. The two teams were made up of girls from Weldon and Conway. May Day Event Is Scheduled Monday May Day celebration will be held at Chowan College on Mon day evening. May 10. The crown ing of the May Queen will claim the center of interest. Miss Vida Dunning, from Aulander, is the young lady elected to occupy the dais of honor on this occasion. The May Day exercises, under the direction of Miss Louise K. Ruggles, head of the physical education department, will be beautiful and colorful. There are two parts: the crowning of the May Queen, and the pageant. The first part, crowning of the May Queen, will begin with a gathering of the queen’s subjects. Then a royal procession of the queen and her court attendants will follow. The crown and the sceptre will next be presented. The queen will make an address, after which the May Pole dance and the Figure March will take place. The costumes of various colors, ap propriate to the meaning of which the dance is symbolic will add grace and loveliness to the event. Following the crowning of the May Queen the pageant will be given. The pageant, which was written by Maude Buchanan, pic tures different phases of the his tory of Chowan College. It is called “The Then and Now of Chowan.” Three episodes convey the idea embodies: (1) “Out of the Wilderness;” (2) “The Golden Age,” and (3) “The Time of Storm and Stress After the War. Both teams showed excellent training and practice. Miss Gregory, of the Weldon team, car rying away the greatest number of points. Miss Flythe, of the Conway team, distinguished her. self in many of the events, especially in the high jump. Miss Gregory was awarded a scholarship to Chowan College as winner in the athletic contest, and the other scholarship given for the best reader was given to Miss Myrtle Lanier, from Conway. The two track teams were as follows: Weldon: Gregory, Vincent and Wyche. Conway: Flythe, Garris, Freeman and Allen. SEE J. G. LIVERMAN FOR PLUMBING Prices Right. Satisfaction Guaranteed * water shall pass through. Since this or something else has inter vened to stop the flow of water, this once enchanting scene of opalescent color display is grey and dull and silent. As I was reflecting with due melancholy upon this void and empty thing, and as thoughts of many complexions come crowding upon me, it betook me to weigh the fact that I had heard some time ago something to the effect that the swimming pool could not entertain any more guests for aquatic sports for a while because the water was so cold and the heating attachment would not function. Then as I continued engaged in thought upon this vexing situa tion, the idea came to me that if this cold water is not fit for the adaptation of young maidens, there might be other forms of life that could thrive in it. It is such a shame for the pool to be vacant and lifeless. I am coming now to the point I wish to make. This is it: Why not plant a school of some choice species of fish in the swim ming pool? I can see how such a scheme could produce immense profit and pleasure. It would be both profitable and pleasurable to have fish at hand for nature study in biology. To those interested in studying the evolution of the human species from the lower scale—fish scale—it would be en- grossingly interesting to observe and study the flips, gills and fins of the fish, which some students of evolution claim evolved until they graduated into the human limbs. It would be delightful fun also to fancy oneself a peasant maiden for a while with fishing rod and line. This would be a most pleas ant diversion for students to sit on the sides of the swimming pool and watch the bobbing cork as the fish nibble. How adorable would be such a scene while some draw out the anxiously fluttering little fish! After the fish have served their term in delighting and enlighten ing the intellectually curious stu dents of biology, they may find a ready demand as an article of food. Fish are said to be especial ly rich as a brain producing food. Growing in water amidst this cul tural and intellectual atmosphere these fish should be exceptionally valuable for the consumption of college students who wish to in crease their brain power. For these reasons, I want to sew in the minds of some active and enterprising person with vision the clamoring idea of plant ing fish in our swimming pool. I hope the right person will read this and that it vinll strike the match to flaming action. It does hurt me to see the swimming pool standing idle and void. I know there are other things vacuous around here, some terribly vacu ous heads maybe, but that is dif ferent because it might be painful for one with such a head to try to think and work, but the swimming pool is made of stone, hard, cold, lifeless and without feeling. It would be no extra pains inflected at all to put it into use. Yours for better or worse, DOLLIE PRINKLE. * ‘SAFETY VALVE" ^ ^ ^ Advertise in the Chowanian and get results.

Phone 829 W Dear Miss Ed.: I am interested in the college I attend, and want to see Chowan grow. I welcome the opportunity given me by the Chowanian to put before the eyes of the people one of my ideas which, if put into use, will improve things here. I want to suggest a means of utilizing one object in particular that stands idle. It almost kills me to see anything remain still and useless when I think of a thou sand and one ways that it could contribute to the comfort and well-being of people if somebody would only breathe into it the breath of power, and put the thing into action. The object that I have in mind which is accounting for nothing, |save as a source of miserable worry to folk like me, is the swim ming pool. A yawning void it stands. There are many offices for a swimming pool to fill in the lives of energetic young college girls. In the dim past I have faint recollections of swimming pools being places of great joy. Ours was a paradise for the mermaids. It was a long time ago frequented by displayers of vari-colored bath ing suits. At times these bathing suit models would venture into the water, and then the many brilliant colors of red, green, yellow, blue and occasionally black, made a play of colors in the water that was dazzling and alluring. Now the pool is dry, drab and deserted. No longer the attraction for jolly divers exists. I think mosquitoes or frogs must have taken up an rbode in the water pipe that leads to the pool and decreed that no more If you’re sick, we’ve got it If you’re well we’ve got it.
