THE CHOWANIAN, NOVEMBER, 1960 'SIP . - illir :\t FIRST PRIZE WINNER - "The Peppermint Palace", better known as the "Columns", won first in the dorm decoration contest. ☆ I BSU FLOAT was winner of first prize in the float contest ' / Homecoming Is Always Exciting m Kj i ail 9 Homecoming Decor All Very Attractive “ The Peppermint Pallace ”, colorful theme of the Columns Building, captured top honors for decorations during the col lege Homecoming, October 15, while the Baptist Student Union took first place in the float di vision. The girls in the Columns car ried out their theme to an extent that the victory slogan for Cho wan’s battle with Ferrum Col lege centered around the thought, “Lick Ferrum”. At the new Girls’ Dormitory, the fut ure housewives of tomorrow prepared to roast the Ferrum Panthers, while the boys in the Old President’s Home virtually made a wreck of the visiting team. The famous Brown Lady conquered the Panthers at the new Boys’ Dormitory, and resi dents of Mixon hanged Ferrum in effigy. In preparing its float for the parade, the BSU centered the decorations around a small country church. Children of the college faculty joined ranks to form a float as a reminder to the Ferrum followers as to what might occur in the near future— when they grow a little more. The sophomore class’ entry pic tured the visitors as being the esteemed level of “cat-tivity”. In other words, the Panthers were not “hep”. Highlighting the Homecoming celebration was the coronation of the beauty queen at the foot ball game. Taking the throne this year was Queen Vivian Burgess. Members of her court included Pat Watson and Mary Jo Lowe of the sophomore class and Faye Rose and Dawn Rouse of the freshman class. All the fancy frills are gone now, and the beautiful floats have long been dismantled, but few students forget that excit ing, hectic period known as HOMECOMING! BSU Calendar YOUTH NIGHT: On Saturday night November 12 at 7:30 p.m. the Associational Youth Rally was held at the Kelford Baptist Church. Mr. William Smith, BSU Director at Duke University, was the speaker. There was a social hour of fun, fellowship, and recreation after the service. REV. HAROLD COLE, our North Carolina BSU Secretary will speaK in Chapel Monday, November 28. You can expect an excellent message from this outstanding leader. (He is also to speak at “M” night Monday December 5 at the Murfreesboro Baptist Church. This meeting is at 7:30 p. m.) Decorated Mixon dormitory during Homecoming Friendliness is even less ex pensive than cleanliness: hence there is no financial barrier to good personal public relations. POWDER PUFF FOOTBALL GAME: The game has been set for Thursday December 1. This is rapidly becoming a classic event here at Chowan and is sponsored by the BSU. Watch for announcements. CONSTITUTION TO BE ADOPTED: On December 13, the regular time for the greater council meeting, there will be a meeting of all BSU members to consider and vote on the pro posed constitution. BSU Meetings VESPERS, Monday through Thursday 6:45 p. m. FELLOWSHIP SUPPER, Sun day afternoon at 5:45, Murfrees boro Baptist Church. CHRISTIAN EDUCATION and SERVICE CLUB, November 29, and December 13. MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE, November 22 and December 6. EXECUTIVE COUNCIL, Every Tuesday night at 7:15. It happens annually at col leges and high schools through out this vast land of ours, and yet, there remains the unique charm and treasured tradition in the individual institution. For Chowan, this uniqueness lies within a parade, beauty queens, a football game, the re newal of many old acquaint ances for both faculty and stu dents, and, of course a closed weekend for the young ladies. Strangely enough, few ccm- plain—until the studies begin! Homecoming on some camp uses is the usual drab, yearly function that takes the student’s mind off his studies for two or three days. But, on other cam puses, such as Chowan, ti.e vities not only take the student’s mind off his studies for a while, they provide a needed outlet for “extra-curricular energy”. This urgent expulsion of energy or nerve—everyone to his own opinion—comes about in many ways. With the Braves (Chowan supporters) it might come in the form of a Mohawk haircut, or as a young lady re marked, “A hog with a big hump in its back!” In spite of the odd features incorporated on this campus and at many other colleges. Homecoming is important. Perhaps, one of the most wel come phases o f importance which surrounds the annual event is the spreading feoling of youth—for both students and the faculty. Although some of the participants are simply “pooped” after spending all night and much more time dec orating a float for about one hour of glory, this feeling of youth and a revived spirit still prevails. Homecoming, whether at Cho wan or Wake Forest, boils down to a weekend of fun, folly, and thrills for the young and the young-at-heart. The make-up of most success ful writers is one part talent and nine parts determination.
