Many of the boys and girls at Chowan were outstanding pjayefs in thp hiah schools of ^e section. Billy'"Edwards is a well- known basketball player of this section. Fred Parker, R. D. Belche, Earl Rook, Billy Clenimer, and many other boys are great pros pects for the boys’ team. The girls are well represented in basketball ability also. Baribara Jean Archer, Vera Thomas and Ann Jackson are fleetfooted girls on a baskst- ball court. Tliese girls are dead shots when it comes to making a goal. They have worked out a lit tle during Physical Ed. class and any spare moments that could be found. Betty Griflin, from 'Wood land, is another lass with a way with the ball. She racked up quite a few points last, year. —0— The athletic field has been lev eled off and tennis courts have been laid off. Chowan will have one of the best athletic fields in this area when the field is com pleted. The different sections of the field are beginning to shape up and they really look good to the sportsminded people of this school. —o— Did you know that Chowan is going to have a Monogram Clu'u, to be oi-ganized as soon as pos sible after the close of football season? All the boys that ha\^e earned a letter by playing the re quired number of quarters wiil become members of the first Mon ogram Club that Chowan has ever had. Boys earning letters in oti'i- er major sports such as baskeiibali and baseball will also be eligible for membership in this club. It has not as yet been decided as to whether the girls will be able to obtain memoarsliip in this club. This will be decided by the boys as soon as the cluib is or ganized. If the boys should vote to let the girls that have earned letters become a mem'oer of the Monogram Clu'b, the cH6erleaders will lead the list of girls in ap plication for mem'oership. There should be some way that the girls of Chowan can show their ath letic ability ether than in Physi cal Ed. classes, and the Mono gram Club will hel'p to remedy this situation.' Let’s all give oui’ whole hearted support to this or ganization as soon as it is orga nized. mg new friends goodby and leav ing for his home college.
