Does John M. go to church Sunday nights? Ask Mr. Staples. He says that John goes to Virginia instead. The scalper wil have to find out what’s in Va. An easy w’iay to get one of those old I’s followed by two o's: It seems that Mr. Martindale was going to give a test and asked his students if they wanted him to ipass the test questions around so everyone would get a pre-test briefing. Of course, one bright student asked him to, but the bell rang and the test had to begin. No one to delay the bell ringer. The scalper reports that Ix>na is having trouble with more than one friend (not girl) popping up at the same time. And everybody kncws that A. Jackson is more Farless than she used to be. May be what evers'body doesn't know is that “Red” from Ahoskie has srjared one of the new Chowan- ians and that E.H.’s new flame talks £0 lo-o-ng and she thinks he’s (cehsored). . The Hunter has found out that Prof. Martindale is another F. Sinatra; but the Squaw hasn’t found out how Mr. Staples finds out everything and who his spies are. We could add to our scalpings if ■we knew why Harold G. repeats “Pity Pat” over and over in Eng lish class to a certain group of ting the same answer: “There’s not enough information to be found on that subject.” Well, if it’s any consolation, there are a lot of college freshmen in the same rocky bo&t, and they’re thinking Just what you’re think ing—if only 1 had had sense enough to stay home, or how wonderful It would be if someone would oome up uith a good idea that would solve my problem. Before the last week or two, it’s ten to one odds that nine out of ten students had never used a li brary to any extent before, and it shows. 'When you first walk in the library door you are greeted by what looks like a herd of lost sheep, it turns out to be only a group of students hunting (and I do mean hunting i for the READ ERS GUIDE, NATIONAL C^J- LOfiPEDIA OF AMERICAN BIO GRAPHY, 'WIHO S WHO IN AM ERICA. and hundreds of other books they've “never heard of be fore.” When April comes, and the re search paper is already written and forgotten, you can bet your bottom dollar there are a lot of college freshmen (here at Cho wan) that will feel like jumping up and down and shouting with glee.—Barbara Thomason. The following paragraph _ is taken from the Roanokte Baptist News, February nutnber: ■'April 30, Fifth Sunday, is Chowan College Day in the Roa- tnoke Association. On that day, speakers from the college, and from here and there in the West Chowa Association and perhaps elsewhere, will be scheduled to speak in the churches of the Roanoke, and to better acquaint the people w’ith the plans and programs of this hundred-year- old Baptist college in Murfrees boro. Chowan is the only Baptist college east of Raleigh; its pro gram is one of training Christ ian men and women for lives of service all over East Carolina and beyond. Its enrollment includtes many young people this session, frotn the Roanoke Association." —0— The follo-ft'ing is an excerpt frcm a letrter written by Miss Willie D. Hassel of Itta Bena, Mississippi.
