PEP RALLY
Tlhe real Chowan spirit was
shown at a Pep Rally given Fri
day night before the E.M.I. game
■which was played Saturday, Oc
tober 9. A boixfire was built on
the campus at a clearing near
the Charity Cottage. The entire
student body and faculty were
present.
After the cheerleaders led the
yells that sent the air vibrating
all over the oampus. roasted
marshmallows were enjoyed by
all.
On top of the bonfire, before it
was set ablaze, was a dummy
plainly distinguised as an E.M.I.
football player, smeared by lip
stick on the jersey. It readily
burned when lit and illustrated
the destruction of E.M.I.

Hints to the Fans
Good sportsmansliip sliould be
shown in the bleachers as well as
on the field. A school is known
in its community by its behavior
at sports events. A few ‘Ixjoers’
can give a sciiool a bad name.
These are some behavior hints.
Entrance at game:
1. Arrive on time, stand in line;
don't push.
2. Be sure to iiave your ticTiet
ready.
3. Remember—the pupils serv
ing as ticket sellers are working
without pay and sacrificing their
opportunities to see the game.
This, is real school spirit.
Grandstand Behavior:
1. Be considerate of otliers.
2. Find a seat and stay there.
3. Don’t stand up during a game
without a reason.
4. Do not throw pa^iers, candy
wrappers and the like.
5. Do not swing pennants wild
ly-
6. Keep off the field; leave that
for the players.
7. Don’t be quarrelsome.
8. Respect opponents; they are
only opponent's in a contest, not
mortal enemies!
Respect for Players:
1. Don’t 'boo' the opposite
team; remember they are guests.
2. Do not cheer when a mem
ber of the opposing team is hurt.
3. Have respect for decisions
made by officials.
4. Do not criticize the substi
tutes. They deserve as much cre
dit as the first team.
5. Don't line up along sidelines.
You may be in the way and you
may be hurt.
6. Don't cheer penalties.
7. Win or lose, sho^w good
sportsmanship. When the team
has played well and lost, be able
to accept it without weeping and
wailing. Don’t alibi! The team is
still your team; act accordingly.
8. Support the cheerleaders.
Don’t join small antagonistic
cheering croups. Learn cheers—
and cheer!
When Away:
1. Be respectful to those m au
thority.
2. Be a credit to your school.
3. Do not clutter up the
grounds.
P\)llow these simple rules of
good behavior and good sports
manship and make not oniy a
good name for yourself, but for
your school.

The Chowan football team has
been showing great progress in
its last two games. The boys have,
shown such improvement that
they have a very even chance of
winning the homecoming game
with Holy Trinity.
Hooker, Newsome and Ivey are
rocks in the Chowan line. Stew
art has been playing a fast game
in the backfield, and with the
teamwork these boys are getting,
they hope to make the Trinity
boys bow.

Wlien basketball practice be
gins, the coaches are going to
find that they have the best ma
terial in the Roanoke-Chowan
section. 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.

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.

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.

ing for his home college.
