the Queens before her, but she
.met the crisis wrHY the right pnr-
pose, and gained the favor that
ahe sougirt. A good and true pur
pose such as Esther’s is our guide
throu^ the changing policies of
the world and is also our aid in
building personality.
The sure way of having a true
motive and policy is to obtain it
through training and service. Pre
pare yourself to meet the opport
unities of today, but do not believe
that this is accomplished by being
sad and living in the past. A per
son may do anything worth doing
and be a genuine Christian.
“If you prepare for the task and
the challenge offered by changing
policy, andiave the right motive,”
concluded Mr. Bunn, "you may
attain the highest in life.”
Rev. J. H. Bunn of
Lawrenceville, Va.,
Speaks At Chapel
“PoUcy changes, motive never
does,” declared Reverend John H.
Bunn, pastor of the Lawrenceville
Virginia Baptist Church, recently
in a chapel talk at Chowan. Mr.
Bunn, who also conducted services
at the Baptist Church while on
his visit, stated his message to be
“Motive and Policy”, based on the
scripture passage, Esther 4:14.
Motive and Policy always liave
their place in human society. The
true motive should be to do good,
bless humanity, to save people,
and build Christian Characters.
The motive of Esther, who was
used as an illustration, was true,
she wished to save her people and
her nation. She broke the policy
which had been observed by aU
Society Day
Is Society Day at Chowan Col
lege worth the price? Is it worth
the time put on it? Do the sister
societies have the wrong attitude
toward Society Day? Is fame more
valuable than friendship at Cho
wan? Will the Viorante club have
the same attitude toward Society
Day that the sister societies have?
The question of whether it would
be better to abolish Society Day is
questioned by many of the stu
dents of Chowan. The wrong at
titude seems to be taken at Cho
wan by many. Instead of its be
ing a day of enjoyment, a time for
each society to show some of the
things that each has accomplish
ed, it is a day of dread; and, in
many ways is more harmful than
helpful.
The readers and debaters have
to take time from their regular
class work to make adequate pre
paration for their societies and
with the spirit of rivalry that is in
the minds of the different socie
ties it often destroys the value
that the members have put on the
work.
When Society Day was first
started at Chowan it was more of
a day to show what the two so
cieties had accomplished, today it
seems the main aim is “to beat the
other society”. Is this the right at
titude to have?
Society Day should be a day
when the two societies should not
have the feeling of animosity to
ward each other. Many forget
that Society Day is a one-day af
fair and that friendships last for
more than one day.
Many regard the fact that fame
is more worthy than friendship.
As Society Day approaches the
students seem to think if their so
ciety loses they will have a pen
alty to pay, and if they win they
will be supremely happy. Is this
the wholesme spirit of rivalry?
Should fame or friendship be first
in the minds of the students?
Students, as well as professors,
wonder if the new and first bro
ther society of Chowan, the Vior
ante club, with its two respect
ive branches, will have the atti
tude toward Society Day that its
sister societies have? Will the
spirit of rivalry outweigh the real
value of Society Day for the Vior-
antes. Why could not the Alath-
enian and Lucalian Societies set
the example for the new brother
society to follow?
jstudy of expression she has ac
quired a technique which speaks
of artistic finish. The reading
wiich she. selected was well suit-
•ed to her personality and her type.
The ease and' self-confidence which
her interpretation reflected •was
the result also of much experience,
for Evelyn is a favorite on any
kind of program.
Marjorie Mitchell, the other con
testant, read very well also, and
especially was her performance
appreciated for the fact that siie
is not an expression student.
For the annual debate, Inez Wil
loughby and Mary Smith were
well matched. Inez, who is presi
dent of the senior class, the Lu
calian Society, and the B. S. U.
Council, presented her arguments
with convincing self-assurance.
She was on the debating team last
year and won honorable mention.
Mary is following closely in her
turn, for she is a sophomore and
holds the position of literary cri
tic for the society. She is presi
dent of the Student Volunteer and
Life Service Band, and treasurer
of the Student Government Coun
cil.
Winners Selected
For Society Day
Society Day, a gala event in
Chowan’s calendar, began and
ended with plenty of spirit, but
with slightly reversed conditions.
After all the individual events had
taken place, results showed that
the morning contests, both of
which were athletics, were won
by the Alathenians. However, de
cisions for the literary contests in
the afternoon and night, were giv
en in favor of Evelyn Blanchard,
Lucalian reader, and of the Luca
lian debaters, Inez Willoughby and
Mary Smith.
Evelyn Blanchard, the winner of
the reading contest, is a senior at
Chowan this year, and is also
graduating in expression. In her
