There has been extensive work Inez Willoughby, and Mrs. Henry done for Chowan recently by the Scott- President and some of the students. Since the first of March President Edwards and several students have visited churches at Winton, Kel- ford, Seaboard, Creeksville, Ahos- kie, Conway, Murfreesboro, Wood land, Aulandcr, Lewiston, Union, Galatia, Roxobel, and Meherrin. Special Chowan programs were put on at the churches in an effort to o^t special contributions for the The B. S. U. Council no whas a room for its own individual use. Several members of the council ob tained the key to the observatory. The room was cleaned and furnish ed for use. Wednesday night, May 4, immediately after B .Y. P. U., a service was held to dedicate the room for the use of the religious oranizgations of the cimpus, espec- Ifiomhlg Watcfi, Volunteer and Life Service Band, and the B. S. U. up of talks by several students on “What Chowan Means to Me”, j Coyngj] The devotional was led by Special music, and talks by Presi dent Edwards. He based his talks on the story of Moses leading the children of Israel out of Egypt, showing how barriers that were ap parently impossible to scale were surmounted, and on Christ feeding the five thousand, illustrating that it is when one gives, that his pos sessions increase. It is important that we recog nize what these people are doing so that we, as students, may not take Chowan for granted but may make individual efforts for the college. Patience, prayer, coopera tion, willing minds, and increasing work are required to lift our col lege from its dark age, speaking financially. These qualities have certainly been shown by those peo ple who have done so much special work. The student body appreciates their efforts. May each of us catch the spirit in which they have been made and make our college big in every sense of the word. To the leadership of our Presi dent, especially, we owe our ap preciation. We feel that there is not another who could express so much love for a college as he has. Not in words have we seen this expression but in his always helpful plans to better conditions of Chowan, to enlarge its student body, and to turn out well-rounded Christian men and women. We are proud to be students of such a college under the leadership of such a president. * B. S. U. • COLUMN * ******* Several members of the B. S. U. council attended a meeting of the council of the various colleges to ■study methods and problems of B. S. U. work which was held at the Baptist Cottage in Greensboro the week-end of April 23. The colleges represented were: N. C: C.. W., Campbell, Wake Forest, Wingate, University of North Carolina and Chowan. Chowan was reprensented on the program by a special musi cal number “Sweet Peace, the Gift of God’s Love” by Mary Seymour, and Hannah Clinard. The program consisted of conferences led by the following workers: B. Y. P. U., Miss Winnie Rickett; Volunteer and Life Service Band, Miss Ina- belle Coleman; Sunday School, Mr. Frank Leavell; and Y. W. A., Miss Lucille Knight: problems which con front the different councils, and a talk by Mr. Leavell in which he challenged the college students to dare to be individual for Christ. Those attending the meeting were: Maywood Modlin, Rhodes Holder, Mary Seymour, Hannah Clinard, Inez Willoughby, who spoike of the dedication of the temple of old and of the offerings we should make at the dedication. Maywood Modlin, the B. S. U. president, then told the purpose of the B. S. U. room and what it should mean. Mr. Ed wards gave a talk in which he brought out the idea that the B. S. U. room was a memorial. He also originated the idea that the eight sides of the room could each be named for a part of the religious work of the campus. The names of these sides would be: Y. W. A., B. Y. P. U., Volunteer and Life Ser vice Band, Morning Watch, B. S. U. the Student and the B'ble, with the light in the center representing Christ. Miss McDowell taught a Y. W. A. study course the week of April 9-14, during the chapel periods of each day. The book that was used was Ming-Kwong, City of the Mor ning Light.” In this course she gave the students facts about the missionary work in China and told them something of what Baptist missionaries have done in that country. During the week of April 17-23 a .?tudy course was held the chap el period for the benefit of several members of the B. Y. P. U. who did not take the course offered last fall. Maywood Modlin taught the B. Y. P. U. manual. The fol lowing took the course and passed the examination: Ruth Greene, Mildred Boone, Virginia Odom, and William Vann. The Edwards B. Y. P. U. had a weiner roast in the ravine on Fri day, April 22. Readings, games, and roasting weiners made an en joyable evening and added much to the feeling of good fellowship that exists in this union. The B. Y. P. U. contest is over, with the Nell Lawrence Union as winner. This union and the Mattie Macon Norman, the winner of the automobile contest, were entertain ed by the two losing unions at a treasure hunt before breakfast Sat urday, May 14. The four unions were divided into two sections, a winner and a loser in each division. These sections followed directions which led them to different places, finally ending at the gate where the treasure was hidden. Maggie Boone found the treasure ■nihich consisted of an attractive box of all-day suckers, candies and other dainties. Everybody then went to breakfast where oranges were serv ed as an added treat.
