Spotlight
on Bobby Dough
Murfreesboro, N. C.
Western Ayto Assodale Store

Radios and Electrical Appliances
BOBBY dough is a fine
male representative of Cho
wan. Although he is usually
quiet and easy going, he hard
ly ever neglects, to speak his
mind in a polite manner.
We all know Bobby as
“Bobby Dough from Manteo”
but he v.’as born in Florida,
Aug. 5, 1931. Later, realizing
that North Carolina is a bet
ter place to live, he moved to
Manteo.
Girls, is your favorite color
blue? Then you and Bobby
have something in common.
This is a giood way to begin
that conversation you h-ave
wanted for so long. But here
is more information: His pet
dislikes are girls and 'lousy’
rnovies. To prove this point,
his futiu*e ambition is to join
the Coast Guard.
Bobby is interested in sports
as you well know is you saw
him play football this past
season. But we have found
cut that he is really quite a
boxer also. He won the Pied-
•TiOnt Lightweight Bo-idng
Championship, so wstch that
right, girls.

SPOUTS
CHOW
By ELLEN DOWNS '
Sports fans around the campus
are eagsrly awaiting our first
baskedball game with Louisburg
this Wednesday night at the
Murfreesboro High School gym.
It should be a big night for thte
Braves. It certainly will be a long
awaited night. The main team
has not yet been selected, for
competition is great ar.d its any.
one's guess as to who will occupy
the main berths on the team.
Miss Keeter's girls team is still
practicing strongly. If the out
ccme of the season is to depend
on the way some of the girls show
up during scrimmage. I'd say they
are going to have a very success,
ful season. It is uncertain as to
who will be the main string on
the Squaw's team also.
—o— ~
As to what has been happening
to the teams t'nat Chowan played
during their last football season
lets take a look at the strongest
team that Chowan met. Fork
Union, has had a bang up good
season of football. They lost one
game after playing Chowan. That
game was to the Maryland Fresh
men. 9-7. They rolUd over Bullis
prep 63 to 0. In the Bullis prep
game Fork Union was the under,
dog or supposedly so. They were
supposed to b3 beat'en by at least
two touchdowns, but wham, look
what happened. Fork Union play,
ed Staunton M. A. on November
24th, the score was 31 to 13 in fa
vor of F. U. M. A. This made
them the champions in thfe state.
Now Pork union is going to Tenn
essee to play in the Orchid Bowl.
Let’s wish lots of luck to a good
team in their forth ccming game.

How the girls were looking for
ward to playin,g soccer in Miss
Keeter’s gym.dassj ofjj^m
had played before and they were
really dreading it. Keeter said lit-
tPe on the way to the field, but I
believe she knew what was going
to happen, and it did! After hav
ing the game explained, the girls
began to run through a _ little
scrimmage. It was almost like
playing football, and whten the
ball was put in play everyone be
gan to get into the spirit of the
gat»e. Both teams had a lot of
husky players, and they were
really making good use of their
strength. “.Soccsr is a sissy game”,
we wert told by some body, but
gather your own conclusions. Five
girls came back with bruises on
their legs, another came back
with a sprained ankle,, and it
looks as if the school will see a
lot of soccer games in thj future
for the girls really en.ioyed the
game. Everyone wanted to play
more whsn time was up that
afternoon. That just goes to show
you can't always go judge by what
other people tell you. Here's hop
ing we see a lot of soccer this
winter.
The Althenian and Lucalian
Societies are going to be playmg
a little rival basketball before
long. It's going to be a toss up as
to who will win the game. The
girls on both teams seem to bte
evenly matched a.nd some keen
rivalry is*expected. Come to thfese
?ames and root for yoiir team. Be
seeing you there!
A professor at a medical school
asked a student how much of a
certain drug sho'.Ud be adminis
tered to a patient ar.d tiie young
man replied: “Five ETai'-'S-”
A minute later he raised his
h.^nd': “Professor. I would like to
chanae my answer to th.xt ques
tion."
The professor looked - as his
watch and replie:!: “Never mind,
young man. Your patient has been
dea'd for forty s:xonds.
