Pa«« 4 THE CHOWANIAN, CHOWAN COLLEGE, MURFREESBORO. N. C. Tuesday, December 20, 1927 Two Versions of Junior-Sophomore Game Give Widely Divergent Stories (Editor’s Note: There are two sides to everything, even a base ball game, as the following re ports testify). The Senior Version “Who’s going to win-win? Who’s going to win-win, now? Listen to the yells of the oppos ing forces. Seniors and Fresh men, as their better-halves, the Sophomores and Juniors, enter the field for the long-looked-for contest. At first the Juniors made a good stand, but as is the case with “old age”, they “went dead” be fore a great while. On the other hand, it took a little while for the youthful Sophomores to get warmed up, and then they fairly wiped the Juniors off the map. Both teams fought a good fight, and the Juniors should be com mended for showing such a brave front in the face of certain de feat. Ellington and Cooke were the star players for the Juniors if there were any, while Jones, Flythe, Vick, and Clayton starred for the Sophs. The final score was 14-10 in favor of the Sophomores—at the end of the eighth inning. Provi dence was with the Juniors, be cause suddenly darkness covered the field, and the players could no longer see. If they had been al lowed to play the ninth inning, it is quite probable that the Sopho mores would have doubled their score because the Juniors were worn to a frazzle. Nine rahs for the Sophomores! The Freshman Version Rah! Rah! Rah! Yes, it’s over, the final meet between the Jun iors and the Sophomores. By some turn of luck the Sophomores won, but in the first of the game it seemed that the Juniors were sure of the victory. One by one the husky Sophomores went to the bat and struck out. They were cheered only by their senior friends. Ellington, who pitched for the Juniors, played an excellent game, and Cook and Downey showed mastery of the art of baseball. At the end of the first inning, the score was 4 to 0 in favor of the Juniors. Then the Sophs were allowed to slip in a run for en couragement. As darkness approached, the umpire was unable to see two runs (which I feel confident were made; for I was a bystander on a line with the base and could see quite clearly). The Juniors put up a good fight, and if darkness had not stopped the game in the eighth inning, we are sure they would have surpassed the Sophs in the final score. As it was, they were defeated by only four points, the score being 14 to 10. BASKETBALL GAMES PLAYED AT COLLEGE On Tuesday evening, December 6, the Winton High School boys played basketball with the local high school team in the college gymnasium. The Murfreesboro boys were defeated by the score of 13-11. Good sportsmanship was shown on both sides. On Monday evening, December 12, the Milwaukee boys and the Murfreesboro High School boys played basketball in the college gymnasium. The score was 38-18 in favor of the Milwaukee boys. The game was very interesting and was witnessed by several of the college girls. MEN’S RIGHTS—BY A MERE MAN—VERY MERE LAST FACULTY TEA OF FALL IS GIVEN BUY JAY BIRD HOSIERY FOR CHRISTMAS GIFTS AT E.

Spiers of Como. treble clef SOCIETY ENJOYS GOOD PROGRAM SHOP WITH Wynn Bros. “Murfreesboro s Greatest Store” The Home of Exclusive Styles in Women’s Apparel The Treble Clef Society held its regular meeting on Friday aft ernoon, December 2, from five to six o’clock. After the business had been attended to, a very in teresting program on folk-songs was rendered. “My Old Kentucky Home” was sung by the Society, after which Eva Hoggard read a paper on “The Origin of Folk Songs and the First Song Writ ers.” A talk on “The Early Euro pean Folk-Songs”, by Jewell Creech, was followed by an in teresting paper on “What Some of the Greatest Composers Have Thought of Folk-Songs”, by Ag nes Harrell. The program ended with “Annie Laurie” by the So ciety. All of the members felt that they appreciated folk-songs more after having learned some thing about them. FRENCH CLUB ORGANIZED The members of the second and third year French classes met on Tuesday, December 13, to elect officers and make plans for the re maining school year. The follow ing officers were elected: Mary Whitley, President; Eva Hog gard, Vice-President; Lucille Davis, Secretary; and Audrey Parker, Treasurer. The club will meet on the second Thursday night of each month. The pro grams will consist of two parts: the first being of a literary na ture, and the second of a social nature. The programs will be en tirely in French. THE HOME ECONOMICS GIRLS ARE IN LUCK (Continued from page one) at once, if you desire a good cook for the companion of your future life. You know how the jingle goes—“Civilized man cannot live without cooks.” A hint to the wise is sufficient. When attending parties during the holidays, remember that if you can’t be the main dog and do all the barking, you can at least be a polite little pup and not growl. “A Bank That Knows and Serves its Territory” Farmers-Atlantic Bank Murfreesboro, N. C. If you yell loud enough for a thing you will get it. Several years ago we heard a great deal about woman’s rights. It was woman’s rights this, and woman’s rights that, and woman’s rights the other. Women were yelling like wild cats for their rights. Yes, and they got them, and more; they are walking off with ours too! We sent our women to college and made our universities co-edu- cational, in order to T)ring the woman in speaking distance of us —mentally speaking—to teach them to think as fast as we do. But we had no idea what danger ous contraptions we were dealing with. Once started they have gone like fire in a field of dry broom sage. They are thinking faster than we are! They raced us for a while, but now they are passing us by the dozens. They’ve left us gasping for breath, with out moulhs dropped open and our eyes buldging out of our heads. What are we thinking about, men, to stand here and let women walk off with things like this? But right there lies the whole trouble —we’re not thinking, we’re let ting the women do the thinking. Wake up, men, wake up! Open your eyes and take a squint at the situation! Just look what we’ve done! We let women start out working in offices and other pub lic places and the next thing we know they had jumped into poli tics. Women lawyers are an everyday affair'now. We’ve had women governors, women states men, women senators, women judges—think of being sentenced by a woman—women policemen— I mean policewomen—think of it! Isn’t that a straw that would break any camel’s back? A woman standing out in the middle of the street with cars, automobiles. Fords, trucks, motor-cycles, and every thing else dashing past her in every direction! But that’s not all. We see a car speeding down the street, a woman at the wheel while her man sits helplessly beside her, where she ought to be—or on the back seat, and he doesn’t dare open his mouth, either. But women, not being satisfied with that, have taken to flying, and if we let them get in the air, we will never be able to do a thing with them. Didn’t Socra tes himself say that a woman on the ground is worth a million in the air? Catch ’em, men, catch ’em, before they get entirely away from us. I tell you, men, something must be done. As we walk down the street, we see a human being in front of us, but we don’t know whether we’re approaching a man or a woman. Ten years ago we would have known without a doubt that it was a man, but those days are gone,—we hope not forever. Several years ago women began trimming their hair—just cut the ends off, because it was so irregu lar. Then they bobbed it, because it was so thin; then they shingled it because a shingle was so cool and convenient, and now they walk ino a barber shop and ask for a “boyish bob.” And we men sit there and let them get in the barber’s chair while we wait! But that’s not the worst of it, men; they’re walking off with our breeches. The sly creatures call them “Knickers, the latest style in woman’s dress”, but they are fooling the public. They are wear ing their husband’s golf trousers ting desperate—it’s outrageous! And what are we doing all this time? Yes what ARE we doing? We’re doing the only thing that is left for us to do without a row— we’re staying home and minding the babies. This situaiton is get ting desperate—it's outrageous! Let’s start yelling for our rights; let’s yell long and loud— a couple of thousand Indian war- whoops that will frighten the women so that they will make a bee line back to the house where they belong, to make the beds, and sweep the floors, and wash the dishes, and see that the babies have the right number of vita- mines in their food. We’ve got to do something and do it quick, for women are run ning away with the world. They’ve taken our positions away from us and put us to minding the babies. They’ve taken our breeches away from us, and if we don’t watch ’em like a hawk, they’ll be dress ing us up in petticoats before we can say “Jack Robinson.” Respectfully submitted, Hara O’Hara. WANTED—FOUR Four what? This could ap ply to anything. There have been times in the history of man when four—anything's could help one tremendously. p4>ur dollars would save & college girl some embarrass ment; four stamps would car ry messages that are worth worlds to someone; four matches could fire the whole world; four words—one, even could change the life events of someone. But four arti cles not mentioned above are badly wanted by four Cho wan girls. There are plenty of these desired objects in this vicinity, and it seems rea sonable that someone should answer this want-ad and fur nish the four beaux who will be the guests of four Cho wan maidens for two even ings during the second half of the school year. Those evenings are Society Day Re ception evening, and Junior- Senior Banquet 'evening. Those four girls do not want to deprive any other girl of her sweetheart, so no swain on whom any other lady has a claim need apply. Any oth ers who are interested (may there be many) will please write The Anxious Four, in care of The CHOWANIAN, Murfreesboro, N. C. — at once. No, you would better write the Lady Principal. CHRISTMAS MORNING CHRISTMAS PAGEANT GIVEN DECEMBER llTh (Continued from page one) esting and inspiring talk on the Centennial Campaign and the Worth of Christian Schools to us. “The Path of The Star” will be given at the Murfreesboro Bap tist Church, Sunday evening, De cember 18. A confirmed bachelor is a man who is too proud to be a rich woman’s darling and too selfish to be a poor girls cash register. Come, all ye weary wanderers. Beneath the wintry sky; This day forget your worldly cares, And lay your sorrows by. Awake and sing, The Church bells ring, For this is Christmas morning! With grateful hearts salute the morn, And swell the streams of song That, laden with great joy, are borne The willing air along; The tidings thrill With right good-will. For this is Christmas morning! We’ll twine the fresh green holly wreath, And make the Yule log glow, And gather gaily mistletoe; All blithe and bright By the glad firelight, For this is Christmas morning! To all poor souls we’ll strew the feast With kindly heart and free; Our Father owns us, and at least Today we’ll brothers be. Away with pride, this holy tide, For it is Christmas morning! So now, God bless us, one and all With hearts and heartstones warm; And may He prosper great and small. And keep us out of harm. And teach us still His sweet good-will This merry Christmas morning. —Edwin Waugh. If you’re sick, we’ve got it If you’re well, we’ve got it.

ALATHENIAN NOTES The Alathenian Society met on December 3, and enjoyed an im promptu program. A short talk, “The Comic Section of the News paper” by Marjorie Bowles, was interesting and well given. After Agnes Lassiter had told the “Jokes of the Week”, there was a debate. The query was; Resolved, That Hambone’s Philosophy can be more readily applied to life than Aunt Het’s. There were strong arguments on both sides. Ethel Britt and Bertha Clayton upheld the affir mative side, and Rosalind Horne and Hilma Ward, the negative. The fun was increased by the fact that Ethel Britt thought she knew who was on the program, and she was sure that she was not. There were truly unexpect ed duties for all who took part on the program. I REMEMBER I remember, I remember Christ- mastides of long ago; The tapers on the fir trees And the farmyard deep in snow; The fat, misshapen stockings with Their promises of thrills.
