No 13 usually made unless there a ne«l for it. Though we may )i.ive outgrown some of our rules, •we mui't still govern ourselves by fiffm u:itil they are remo%"ed by a vot* of tlw? student body. Mtiny of our most important rules are constantly broken—pur- jwsely or carelessly. We overlook rtie fact that disobedieivce in one thirig leads to disobedience in an- SiO calmly OU- breakiti* ♦))i» rulos we do not like. Chowaji’s ideals have always 'Veen high and w-e hav’e no reason for not uph»lding them today. If anything is to be done, we .'should rai.« them higher, because we have tmore opportunities and, therefore, »jwre responsibilities than those w^io’have gv)ne before us. SOCIETY DAY Whit sort of spirit will be mani- this Society Day is one of ttjie great jquestions in the mind of ovary Ciu)wan student at the pre- b**iit tinw. .'Society Day was established in -order to create a keen sense of rivalry on the part of the student.^ unfl thus to make for better effici ency in the work done. Society day most certainly has ’i'eited a spirit of rivalry, but has this been the type that was de- ii red ? At times this rivalry has »>*-iched such a height that it has ilmost caused serious disturbances •«n tiie scliool life. No one wants a rivalry in our school that will tend to break up standing friendships or will f,i’i^ie h;u-d feelings on the part of anyone. The way to keep the proper •.pint is to show sportsmanship be- jTore Society Bay, on Society Day, .ind even after Society Day. No one iniividual can bring about this /fcpirit although one individual with ■ft lot of influence may do a great Jfiott toward the creation of the jfirwpftr spirit. It talws everyone in ,'>:ho»)l, working together, to get )j>? spirit. It may i>e considered smart at tunas to say some cutting remark V) a rival, but in the ervd it will be ■foimd that it would have been far to have replied in a tactful wn.y. Play fair with the other Societj', ind if that Society wins, don’t go a.Tound saying that they won the dvvision unfairly. If we are tactful, fair, and sport ing, it s^?ems to us that there is no d x;bt about w'hat kind of spint V it] prevail on Socioty Day, BliRNETT SPEAKS (Continued from page 1) ST. VALENTINES DAY it would be easier to buy legal drink and they wouldn’t want it. The reason why boys and girls are drinking is that we have the pro hibition law.” Mr. Burnett proved by several illustrations that the same argument, when applied to any other question, would not be tolerated. “Do you propose to iteach a child to be honest by mak ing it easy for him to steal?” he demanded. Mr. Burnett advanced the idea that the moving pictures of today violate the Constitution by show ing liquor parties on the screen. He said seeing these parties made the youth of the land have them. “If you are going to do things in life because others do them, you will not be worth much for good in your community,” con cluded Mr. Burnett. February 14, Valentnie’s Day, is thought to have originated in the pagan ceremonies of the Ro man people at the celebration of the Lupercalia. Another theory i? that it is a day set aside in the honor and memory of St. Valen tine, a bishop who was noted for his good deeds and who was be headed as a martyr in 270 A. D. From this theory the custom grew up in Europe that on Valen tine’s Day people should do some deed of kindness for someone else, write notes, or send some word of love and cheer. From Europe the custom spread to other countries and to America. As time passed it finally became a day for young men and women to send a token of love to one another. Valentines, as they are known, were sent with verses which spoke of love and devotion. These were in many shapes, and often very fancy. ■Jn recent years a new type of Valentine has come into existence '—the yalentine which caricatures or satirizes some trait of human nature. These comic Valentines seem to have become more popu lar with the older people and those which are of the sentiment al type are being used by the youngsters. ANNA LAURA BAKER. PRESIDENT EDWARDS MAKES AN ADDRESS J'Success” was the topic of President Edward’s message to Ciowanians on February 13. “Success is something that no one knows much about,” declared Mr. Edwards. “Many people strive for success and are judged by various standards. If you can answer ‘yes’ to each of the fol-. lowing criteria for success, there is no doubt that you are success ful in the (broadest sense of the word: 1. Under all conditions of life have you been able to keep your health? Physical test. 2. Do you save more than yo i spend ? Economic test. 3. Have you found your work in the world? Vocational test. 4. Can you spend your leisure time pleasantly and profitably? A vocational test. 5. 'Are you advancing in wis dom and knowledge? Intellectual test. 6. ‘Can you make friends easi ly and keep them? Social test. 7. Are you trying to win suc cess by the straight road of per sonal integrity and worthy serv ice to mankind? Moral test.” “Then, too, wie may also spell success acrostically in the follow ing way; iS-tep up the stairs; don’t stare up the steps. “'■‘U-ie yt)ur taletit® to "advrfntage. C-haracter is the first essential of success. C-hoose resources in preference to means. E-am more than you spend. iS-uperiority in personality and in efficiency is the jource of success. 6-ervice to man is the measur's of success.” THE COLLEGE ALARM CLOCK There’s something new in the college—have you herad about it? Why it’s a real alarm clock! It’s five feet eight inches in height. No, it is not a grandfather clock. The clock always goes off at the same time, nam-ely 7:15 a. m.—no sooner, nor later. (That is if it has not been out late the night be fore.) It has a peculiar yet arous ing tone for instead of ringing or buzzing it wnhistles. Chowan realized the importance" of this whistling clock when a sleep freshman met an eightj- thirty class without having pow dered her face or combed her hair. Cn entering the classroom, she turned to Pat and said, “You didn’t whistle this morning”. Even Pat himself had not fully realized the importance of his early morning whistle and had al lowed himself to make up the .sleep which he had miss^ the night before. Bells have rung for years and clocks have alarmed until they can alarm no more, but only Pat can get the drciWTsy 'Chowan girls out of bed. Many thanks to Pat Taylor, Chowan’s human alarm clock!
