Evidences of this are perfectly obvious when one looks out on the campus and sees students moving about in mer ry groups. Others who are victims of the so-called spring fever lie around listlessly gazing into space. Possibly one af the hardest things to do in the Spring is to avoid getting spring fever. There’s only one way to avoid spring fever —keep your eyes glued to a book and do not look upon the wonders about you. HUNTING KOR GOtD Join in the adventure and joy of a search for hidden treasures and help fill our crucible to the brim! Supplementing our Self-Denial offering for Home Missions, South ern Baptists are now asked to “gather up the fragments.” In your home, as in mine, there are articles containing gold or sil ver, such as watches, chains, rings, lockets, broaches, medallions, pen dants, cuff links, bracelets, spect acle frames,, cameos, pins, old coins, dental scraps, such as crown.“i, bridges and plates, ster ling pieces and old jewelry of every description. All we can gather from the homes of our members and friends will go in the crucible and from this old gold, will come new money for the Cho wan Y. W. A. to give to His cause. Let us all unite. Let us search out tliese things containing gold or silver—no matter whether the articles is new or old, whole or broken provided it contains gold or silver. Already some girls have given their high school rings, other medals, and others watches. All are happy over the sacrifice. Even though these things may have -sentiment attached to them, they may mean much to Him who sacri ficed so much for us. All the col leges are asked to join in the Crucible Campaign. May Chowan send in the greatest contribution. We extend to all friends and alu mnae of Chowan Y. W. A. an in vitation to join the Chowan Y. W. A. in this campaig:n. KATHERINE MARTIN, Y. W. A. President. ESSAY CONTEST The Essay Contest probably has not claimed the attention of many students as yet. It iihould, how ever, intere.^t quite a number. The subject for this year is announced in this CHOWANIAN. Every year an essay contest is held and all students who wish to do so may participate. It is an opportunity for students to win distinction in the college and also get practice in writing. The B. S. U. NOTES LUCALIANS WINNERS OF MAJOR HONORS (Continued from page 1) contest witl be of very little value or interest unless quite a number of students enter. There is no point in just giving the medal to someone because he did not have any competition. If that is going to be the case, there is really no need of having a contest. B. Y. P. U. The co.ntest in B. Y. P. U. has been finished with the Eunice Mc Dowell Union as victor.- -The tie Macon Norman and Nell Laiw- rence Unions ran the Eunice Mc Dowell a close second. The sec ond winner will ibe chosen from these b«o unions. Mr. Parmer, editor of the Bib lical Recorder, is offering a trip to Ridgecrest for the B. Y. P. U. encampment with free entertain ment at the Pritchard Hotel for the girl or boy sending in the most subscription® to the Biblical Re corder from his B. Y. P. U. dis trict. We feel that Chowan must have a representative at Ridge crest next summer and here is a splendid chance to send Velva Howard, our B. Y. P. U. director. Gome on and let us all write home for subscriptions, and let each of us work during the holidays to send Velva to Ridgecrest. Y. W. A. The foreign mission book, “Ann of Ava”, has been studied in Y. W. A. and the examination given. Most of the giinls took the course and received seals. We are now studying “Steiwardship in the Life of Youth”. The home mission offering was the largest we have ever had. The total amount was seventeen dol lars. We all feel very proud »f our Y. W. A. Th Volunteer and Life Service Band has begun a study of the book of Revelation. This study is made on alternate Monday nights from seven until eight o’clock. Rev. J. M. Duncan is teaching this course. We have been delighted to have many out-side people at these study hours, and iwe wish to extend a cordial invitation to everybody to join in our study next Monday night. iWe also wish to take this oppor tunity to thank Mr. Duncan for his kindness in teaching us, and we conjgratulate him on the interest ing and clear explanation that he is giving us of this remarkable but rather difficult book. B. S. U. REPORTER. reading contest. The Alathenians played a swift game, making only two sets neces sary to decide the contest. They won these sets 6-2 and 6-4. Debate The Lucalian Literary Society, represented by Rhodes Holder and Katherine Martin, won the debate, defeating Deborah Mitchell and Lois Vann, Alathenians, by a 2-1 decision. The query for debate was: Re solved, that the inter-allied war debts should be cancelled. The Lucalians upheld the affirmative side of the question by showing that the debts should be cancelled because: 1. They were contracted by nations which were fig’hting our own battles even before we sent our men to Europe, 2. The debtor nations need cancellation. 3. These debts are the most potent basic cause of both mal distribution of gold and of foreign currency afflictions. 4. These debts are a paaerful factor in preventing the return of confidence, sane optimism, and good will of all nations which are absolutely necessary to world eco nomic recovery. 5. These deibts keep open the old sore growing out of the late war and are a powerful factor in retarding world peace. The Althenians argued that the debts should not be cancelled be cause : 1. The United States is under no obligation to cancel them since the debtor nations borrqwed from us with the full expectation of re payment. 2. Such cancellation would benefit neither debtor nor creditor nations. 3. The burden of cancellation would fall on the American tax payer. 4. The Allies are able to pay. All four debaters showed the results of careful study and much thoughft on the subject. The judges were; Rev. J, B. Hurley, of Murfreesboro; Rev. J. E. Kirk, of Roanoke Rapids; and Mr. R. M. Bachman, of Edenton. TOWN TALK We are very sorry to report that Mrs. Allie Parham is seriously ill at her home. Miss Eunice McDowell and Mr. T. B.
