PAGE SIX Chowan Club Entertains husbands And Teachers On Wednesday evening the Chowan ■Club entertained in a unique way their husbands and the faculty of Chowan High School, bers was surrounded by small gifts low and Mrs. Gordon Blow on the piano played Christmas carols, sung by the company, to which they added other festive musical numbers. They were soon relieved by a trio of play ers of gtringed instruments, Thomas Dail, Weldon Hollowell and Mack Murphy. Miss May Belle Edwards, with Mrs. Gordon Blow playing, sang, in her charming natural way, three songs, ■“Red Sails In the Sunset,” “I Ain’t Got Nobody” and “I’m In a Mood for Love.” A beautiful, though small Christ mas tree, put up on the stage in the afternoon by three or four club mem for each teacher, each club woman and each teacher, each club woman and her husband. Some of these presents •were amusing and absurd, for inst ance, a small Teddy bear to Miss Ed wards. All, however, showed good will, which was the main thing. As a new feature in entertaining, Mrs. B. W. Evans conducted an auto mobile trip. Pinned to the wall on the stage were ten pictures of cars, each of a different make " The players, each with numbered paper and pencil, had to go on the '• ' and select the names of the cars to go with the different num bers. Not many non-drivers of cars knew them, so missed the ten points for score.. In .the “blow out,” each player was ( named f^ r some part of the car. At ( .then* names -were called they lined 'up around some chairs, in the old I j way of “going to Jerusalem.” When . the leader called “blow out” each . player seated himself in a chair. The chairs were fewer than the play ers. Somebody was always left standing, who became the leader ir. the next round. Another contest was getting a drink of water, half a glass to be fed in a spoon, by some woman, to each man. Whoever drained his glass first scored 10 points. Mr. Lindsay Evans won the contest, In putting on a new tire, Robert Bunch won. He took off his coat turned it wrong side out, changed tc right side out, and put it on again, all in the shortest time, so 10 points were scored by him. The whole affair was very amus ing when old men took part in it. When the travelers were tired they rested at a filling station, while daughters of the club served lemon ade. Finally, the same girls for the clul served red and white ice cream, with home-made cake to all present. The Chowan Club wishes to thank the school authorities for the use o: their building. A fine spirit of co operation on the part of all con cerned was shown. M. W. WINBORNE, Secretary. MERRY HILL (Continued from Page Two) rious for it to be removed. She grew worse rapidly, passing away Friday evening about 9 o’clock. The fiuri:' services w r ere conducted at Capehart’s Cfiffrch on Saturday afternoon. Marie will be greatly missed in the ninth grade. She was president of her class and always made the honor roll She could always be depended upon to take an active part in the things needed to be done. How sad the home is without her at the fireside, but how sweet to picture her an an gel singing with Him who needed her in heaven. May our destination be as sure when we have “crossed the bar.” What a rich blessing she has been to her dear mother, father and little sister, and to them we all ex tend our most sincere sympathy. To her loved ones she will continue as their much loved Marie. IN MEMORIAM The death of our beloved classmate and companion, Marie Phelps, has been one of the greatest sorrows of our nine years at school. Time and time again the problem which we could not solve, Marie could easily explain. She enlightened us in many ways which we miss so much now. A classmate the other day said, “If Marie was here she could work this problem.” How we miss her, but when we look over at her empty desk, we know that she is in the land where neither sorrow, cold, nor hunger is ever known.
