^Dating ^Survey
Among Students
K<?sulting Statistics
Very Surprising
This article is beini? written to
show the cost of dating at home,
»t school, parl.r or theater, for
mal or informal. The statistics to
be presented here represent stu
dents from different walks of life
found on the campus of our alma
mawr. Dr Raymond Morgan, of
the Social Science Department, had
each student in his Marriage and
Ili'ineiife course to hand in an ex
pense budget.
D.' you realize what the cost
for a formal date, banquet, or
dinner is on our campus? From
the estimate* sent in the boys
spend on an average of $12.95 for
one occasion. The cheapest esti
mate was J6.50 and the highest es
timate running to $18.00. These
figures were submitted by the men
of the class. In this amount the
plates, favor, assessm«!nt, corsage,
refreshments, cleaning and press
ing and renting tux have to be
included; also if the occasion u
out of walking dUtance, tnans-
porUtion must be provided.
But what does it cost a girl to
invite some lucky boy to a sorori
ty banquet? The girls' average
was $12.47; the lowest ran from
J.1.75 to $24.60. Any person might
ssk why such a variation, but the
truth lies behind the matter of
dressing. Where one girl will buy
a new dress and use it for only
one occasion, another may buy a
dress and wear it foi^r or five
times; thereby, cutting the cost of
the drtess by the proportionate
number of times worn.
One young lady turned in an es
timated expense for a tea for a
bride elect. Gift $4, evening dress
$12.45, evening shoes $2.98; mak-
init a total of $19.43. But
this young lady said the dress
could be worn 5 or 6 times, there
by, reducing the cost from $19.43
to $7.25 for one wearing.
For a formal at home the boy’s
average ran to $6.36. The lowest
$3 .55 to $8.35. Most'of the boys in
the class do not have occasion to
go to formal parties at home or
elsewhere except whi'e in school.
Perhaps this accounts for some of
the variation; also there is no gen
eral assessment for the formal at
home.
The average amount spent by
the girls at home was $6.55; be
ginning at 2.00 and going to $11.
The larger part of this amount
was spent in the form of dress,
shoes, gift. hose, and cosmetics.
My, my. these figures are intci-
esting but how much does it co-^t
for movie dates? The average bn
It school spends $1.14 for a mov.f
date; beginning at ninety cents up
to $2.25. The price of admision at
the Wilson after 6 p . m. is thirty-
five cents per head, see how much
that leaves for eats. etc.
But the girl also has an expense
»hen she is carried to the theatre.
The scale ran from .00 to $1.85,
averaging 76c. Now some girls
took advantage of their expense ac
fount and charged their sweater,
•hoes, or even dresses for a movie
date. WTiile in school '■.o girl is go-

The Kingsland Marionette Show
was presented Wednesday nig'ht,
March 6, in the Howard Chapel,
This was the third Student Activi
ty entertainment.
Mr. and Mrs. Head, the operat
ors of the show, have presented
shows all over the United States
and Europe. Before the main
show began, they showed a few of
their puppetfl collected from all
corners of the world. Amonjf
these were a Spanish “l^inch”,
policeman, doctor, hangman, and
other characters used in Spanish
shows. The Chinese have a very
crude form of puppetry. Their
dolls have no hands at all, as
Chinese rarely show their hands.
The Chinese Bride was shown as
one of the finer specimens of
Chinese puppets.
In most foreign countries, pup
pets are used for religious pur
poses <mly. Cut in Java the
marionettes are used for semi-re
ligious entertainment. In France
the dolls are smaller than in most
countries. Representing the Unit
ed States was a fine puppet named
“Sammy”. He is said to be the
grandfather of our famous Char
lie McCarthy. To represent Ja
pan in this exposition was the
Japanese “Robin Hood". T^iis
doll is over 150 years old, four
feet high, and has realistic ges
tures, such as movable eyebrows,
rolling eyes, etc.
The Shadow Puppets originated
in Java. These were made of
buffalo hide. Some years later

In Sixth Ansual High School Basketball Tourney;
Good Sportsmanship Portrayed By Participants
“SPIT” MARTIN AND CARL SAPP ST^Vtt
The Sixth Annual Atlantic
Christian College High School In
vitation Basketball Tournament
was held last week in the Wilaon
Gymnasium on the college cam
pus. As in former years the tour
nament was divided into two class
es—A and B. There were twenty-
two top-flight teams entered in
the tournament; sixteen in the
class B and eight in the Class A.
These teams were picked from
over a hundred high school clubs
in the eastern part of North Car
olina and brought together some
cf the finest high school clubs in
the swte. The top-seeded teami
in the Class B were Jamesville,
the defending class B champs, and
the strong Moss Hill squad. In
the Class A division Rich Square
—one of the strongest high school
teams in the state—was seeded on
the top, and Dunn drew the second
spot over Wilson *ind Raleigh.
Other teams in Class B were Bei-
voir, I-a Grange, Arapahoe. Wal-
stonburg. Bailey, Stantonsburg,
Farm Life, Ijicama. Southern
Pines. Southwood, Alliance, B. K.
Grady, Mars Hill and Warrenton
Other clubs in the A division were
Raleigh. Wilson, Middlesex, Ku-
quay Springs and Bridgeton.
Jamesville kept the Class B
championship with a roaring last-
half victory over Alliance in the
finals, 32-24, and Raleigh, un
seeded and unsung, came through
in the finals to top the second
seeded Dunn squad in a battle
that was drab at times and flashy
at other times. Alliance sUrted
like a house afire in the finals
and had run up a ten point lead at
one time during the firrt half.
Then Capt. "Spit” Martin of the
Jamesville team got hot on his
crip shots and pulled hi* squad
within three points at the half-
time whistle. After the rest pe
riod the Jamesville team di*play-
ed their touted power and pulled
away from the fighting Pamlico
boys and gained a lead that they
never relinquished for the re*t of
the contest. AllUnce had come
through to the finals with three
hard-fought games, while the
Jamesville boys had had an easi
er path on their rictory march,
and the difference toM on the
boys from way down on the co^
In the Oas* A final* the Raleigh
team, which had won the favor of
the fans, by their close,
fought victories over the Cyclone*
of Charles L. Coon High Sch^l
of Wilson, and the top-seeded
Rich Square Uons, fought a smart
game and emerged victorions
a high scoring Dunn team 21-10.
The Class A finals game was
marked by excellent defensive
play on the part of the hoT*tnm
Twin Bill
the capital city, and the excellent
sportsmanship of both teams.
Coach LeRoy Pickett's boy* show
ed the crowd-packed gymnasium
for the final* that they were well
coached and really knew how to
play this game of basketball when
the chips were down.
The Dunn Grt-enies started the
battle fast and grabbed a seven
point lead on the Caps with four
minute* of the fir*t quarter gone
by. but then the Pickettmen went
to work. First thi'y alowed the
game down to their pace, and,
led by Capt. Craven Turner, cen
ter Carl Sapp and their flashy
forward, David Willi*, the Raleigh
boys passed the Dunn boys with a
roar and graiibed a commanding
lead. Then they set out to hold
that lead by playing a strictly de
fensive game and bolding the
Averettemen in check for the re
mainder of the game.
Jamesville advanced to the
Class B final* by resounding vic
tories over Belvoir 66-10, I,a
Grange 17-10, and WaUtonburg
23-14. The lad* in red were fa
vored from the start and showed
that they were capable In all of
their first round games. The sur
prises of the tournament were the
Pamlico county boys from Alli
ance, who advanced to the finals
the hard way with close victories
over three of the best teams in
the das*. In the first round the
Alliance boys topped B. F. Grady
with a high-scoring burst 50-23.
In the second and aemi-finals
round* the boy* in blue turned
back two well-balanccd team* by
the same score. First they won
over the Mar* Hill squad 26-23,
and in the semi-finals Saturday
morning they emerged victorious
over the second-seeded Mo*s Hill
team by the same icore.
Other first round game* and re
sult* were as follows;
Iji Grange defeated Araphoe
25-19; Walstonburg walloped
Bailey 48-18; SUnton»burg de
feated Farm Life 26-18; Mos* Hill
ran roughshod ever Lucama 31-10;
Southwood upset Southern Pines
20-18 and Mar* Hill swept over
Warrenton 26-10. Second round
games — Walstonburg whipped
their rivals, Stantonsburg. 37-27.
and Moss Hill eked out a 16-6 ric-
tory over Southwood.
The Class A champs came thru
the hard way to win the coveted
trophy. In their first game th«
Caps were matched with the Cy
clones of Wi:~-jn in what turned
out to be the high spot of the
tournament. In a doobU overtime
period the Caps grabbed a 32-81
rirtcry from their traditi^maV ri
vals to advance to the *«ml-finaJs.

Headline in the world of sports!
The girls of the Junior (Hass on
Wednesday night, February 21.
really gave the onlookers a treat
when they redeemed themselves by
defeating the faculty with a score
of 26- to 22. Hazel MrKeel walked
olT with the highest individual
score of the girls’ game by mak
ing 17 out of 25 pointa. The high
scorer for the U'sers was Miss
Madeline Smalley with 15 points
The dignified teachers seemed to
forget that they were our teachers
at all. They fought to the end, de
termined to win as they did last
year with a score of 20 to 18. The
rules did not seem to bother them
in the least. Uttle did they heed
them! Blocking, pushing, and hold
ing seemed to be all In the gami-
to them. Even the referee seemed
to be overlooking all their pecu
liar playing methods. They play
ed a fine game we'll have to ad
mit. Everybody had * good time!
The boys' game was very inter
esting too, the Junior boys being
defeated by the Faculty (only
Coach Herring and Mr. Jarman
really Faculty members) 34 to 20.
Robert Johnson and Coach Herring
tied for high scoring honors, each
making 10 polnU. “Duck" Futrell
and "Red” Stephenson al*o tied
for 2nd place with 6 points each.
For the losers Foy Goforth and Joe
Windley tied for high aooring po
sition with 6 potnt* each Intereat
centered around Mr. Jarman, who
played a fine game of basketball
(whenever he got the ball). The
Junior Claas boys did not mind
the defeat; they were just outplay
ed. It was all for fun anyway!
The band offered a special at
traction between halves, A jmrade
of the faculty members not play
ing ball was led by Dr, Jenkins,
who walked them around the court.
The band appeared with trumpet*,
pot lids, drums, spoons, horns, and
boilers. The music was delightful.
Ijiughing honor, as last year,
went to Mis* Mildred Ross, guard
of the Faculty, who wa* continu
ally cutting capers and keeping
the crowti in peals of laughter all
the time. Mis* Brewer played as a
professional -we did not know that
she knew how to play so well. It
was not so funny as It might have
been, for the score was *o close
that each team had to keep plod-
