You could for instance pretend that this article was writ ten by the night watchman. (He’s a paid peeper). What’s the occasion for our peep ing T The traditional senior dinner. It’s a debatable question whether the guests are more excited about the affair than the peepers. What’s a fact is that the peepers are much more prompt—^in fact they’re early. I hate to give away all our hiding places—think how crowded they’ll be next year. There are any number of good spots from which you can s«e the procession of seniors and guests as, from the windows in the corridor of South Hall, from the Library stei>s, or over the banister on the second floor of Main Hall where Cokey Preston frightened a little Sopho' more last Saturday by pointing up into the darkness and saying to John Creech “That’e where I al ways used to hide.” The best place to see and not to be seen is from th windows in South Hall Corridor. From there I saw the seniors in their gorgeous evening dresses and wraps; it would take an endless variety of colors and styles to describe the procession. We underclassmen don’t exactly understand how they all get paired off—perhaps Bushy could tell us. This year the windows weren’t all steamed up and so I could see the seniors’ shining faces and Dr. Rondthaler walking around -with two funny faces—the false one on the back of his head. If you’re in the Library during the dinner you can keep account of the number of courses by the scrap ings of chairs and general commo tion during the different progres sions, but you can’t hear anything definite unless you put your head to the heat register. I especially en joyed Mary Mills’ solo “I Love You Truly.” I can’t tell you any of the circumstances, but from the heat register I heard the voice of Bushy: FRESHMAN GOSSIP Mildred Troxler says she was quite embarassed last week-end, when she and Bob Atwater (dear ole Dav idson, nor does she produce such fascinating men), were in the midst of a book hunt, and Mrs. Moore stumbled over them. PauHne Daniels and Anne Busick spent Sunday in Madison, North Carolina. Eleanor Matheson and Jean Robinson had visitors from Charlotte Sunday; Frances Matheson (Elea nor’s sister), Jane Fallor, Henry Benorit, and Graham Allisco. Josephine Gibson went up to Lov er’s Leap, in Stewart, Va., Sunday. We hear she had much fun. Martha O’Keefe’s mother and lit tle sister, Helen, were week-end guests at the college. Harriett Taylor and Flora spent the week-end “out.” Lee Jimmy Bray came to see Helen Smith the other night. Just how much time did she—or he—make? SOPHS AND JUNIORS STILL GOING STRONG Who were those snoopers up on the library steps. Main Hall steps and on the window sills last Satur day night? Just wait girls, only one or two more years! THE MYSTERY OF VIRGINA DARE Marianna Redding caught the “going fever” and went home Sat urday. We hope she feels better now! From all reports Helen Jones had a grand and glorious week-end. She went home and led the Fair dance, “Who could ask for anything more?” Why does Jinny Greensboro so? Gaddy love Mavis Bullock visited her home in Rocky Mount while Tick Fraley went home (High Point) and Martha Nolen was her guest. Those two girls from Virginia had a good week. Virginia Gough’s cous in and aunt visited her while the roommate Sara Thompson went out to dinner with a “dear” friend! McArn finally got off last Satur day and took Margaret Sears with her to spend the week end in Golds boro. Titter Daniel spent Saturday and Sunday at home in Rocky Mount. Greenville got the treat this j>ast Saturday when Lucy James went home and Florida Graves went with her. Harold came to see Wilda! need to say more? Do I Garnell and Jean went over Salisbury for a week- end visit. to (The snooper’s eyes are dimming and will soon be resting until next week-end — then what?) SENIOR’S BIG WEEK-END Never hag there been a more at tractive group of seniors, to dress up in their lovliest evening gowns and parade to the traditional Senior Dinner, as there was last Saturday night. What are you going to wear? I don’t know, but I hope my new dress comes, do you have a new dress? Who did you ask? I wonder whom I will go in with! — these questions were asked, repeated, and then asked some more last week, and if one would notica the answers are floating around now. There were two of W. C. U. N. 0. ?irls visiting in senior this past week end. Mildred Vann, Ann’s sister, and Lib Gant, our last year’s Lib, were the two. (CONTINUED FROM PACE ONE) within hearing distance of the island. A soldier blew Old English Carols on a bugle, to attract at tention, but there was no response whatever. They dropped anchor until morning, and then landed. They found evidence that fires had been burning there recently, and they saw footprints of Indians but of no one else. Tliey rowed on again to the same beach where the colonists had landed three years before, and as they hastend up the steep slope they encountered a tree with the letters CEO carved on it, but -with no cross above it. They were heart ened by this. They came to the fort which was a scene of desolation. Houses had been burned, the fort abondoned. Governor White found some of his own maps and garments in the fort. However, they were stilled heartened because they found on a tree by the gateway to the fort the carved word CROATOAN, with no cross over it. Governor White wanted to con tinue the search, but he was only a passenger, and the captain of the boat insisted on sailing to St. John’s and wintering there, to return in the spring. Governor White never re turned, and the fate of the colony remained shrouded in mystery. Twen ty-one years later the colony of Jamestown was founded. Near the close of the Civil War, three Croatoan Indians from the Lumber River District were employ ed at Fort Fisher to do manual labor. One of them was murdered, and at the trial an old Croatoan Indian testified that his tribe was of Eng lish and Indian ancestry from Roan oke Island in Virginia, and that they always had befriended the white man, and had adopted his law and religion, and had taken the Eng lish to live with them, but now they were not given a fair trial. These Indians lived in a primitive fashion, and did not have equal edu cational rights with the white man. FIRST GAME PROMISES GOOD HOCKEY SEASON Freshmen Begin Season Fighting The hockey game played between the Juniors and the Freshmen, Fri day, November 2, was quite good for a first season game. The play ers did very little bunching, and the play was almost continuous. The one goal of the game was made by Blum for the Juniors. Both teams have several players, unable to be in the first game, who will add to the scoring ability of both teams ii\ future struggles. The officials of the game w-ere “Shorty” Biles and A. Preston. The line-up was as fol lows: Junior Line M. Smith Left Wing A. Brown Left Inner Bluni Center Hendrix Right Inner Best Right Wing Back Field: Huggins Left Half Schlegle Left Full L.

The ques tion in the minds of those interested is whether it is possible that these early English settlers were absorbed by the Indians witliout violence; yet how could such a great group of white people willingly go and live with the Indians? There are several facts which can not be accounted for except by the above theory. One is that these Croa toan Indians language is early Eng lish, with old Chaucerian Plurals, and not Croatoan at all. In the woods and swamps of the Lumber River region are found old stone walls, laid in perfect English fash ion which can not be Indian. Forty- six English names are common fam ily names among the Croatoan In dians. Old English crossbows have been found in their possession, -(vith no other way of accounting for them. Lastly, the Croatoan Indians have blue eyes, straight light hair, and are thoroughly convinced that the blood of the first English colonists still flows in their veins. Roanoke Island is less changed since those days than any other his torical spot in America. The old fort is still there, with it® foundations in the sand, and the ruins in that deep, silent pine forest are still un spoiled and unchanged. A little Chapel has been built there in mem ory of the one in which Manteo wa« baptized, and in which one week later, Virginia Dare was also bap tized. Martha Binder was the one to be envied with two corsages, both of them lovely enough to eat! Poor little Martha Neal got the thimble and it broke her heart so badly that she was unable to go to Leaksville to spend Sunday. In fact sho spent it in the infirmary. Did Dr. Rondthaler hear Rachel C. last Wednesday night, when she said, “Pass the nertz!” ber 3. The day was rather cool, there was little vpind and no sun glare. The game started promptly at 2:30. Couch and Wall approached the net; Wall called (rough) and Couch tossed (smooth); Couch serv ed. In the first match Couch took thhe first two games with theh scores of 6-3, C-4. Wall won the third, Couch the fourth, and Wall the fifth and sixth. Then Couch took the next three games. Wall, at the be ginning of the second match, stead ied and took the first, third, fourth, seventh and eighth games. Couch won the second, dropped the next two, then steadied. From then on the match was not in much doubt. If the match had been played sev eral weeks previously, both play ers unodubtedly would have been in better shape. However, both of the matches were marked by close play ing. In the first, the second, sixth, seventh and ninth were deuce games; in the second, the fifth and those following Wall got off to a slow start and djd not seem to at tain the full speed of her game. Couch was the quicker to steady. All tennis fans who, for various reasons, missed the game, should re gret their absence.
