WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAKE
STUDENT LIFE MORE AT
TRACTIVE NEXT YEAR?
What can we do to make student
life on the campus more attractive
next year is a question that we are
beginning to consider seriously.
Really, what can we do?
One thing, we can give the fresh
men such a warm welcome that they
will feel at home from the moment
they enter the gate. Y. W. A. and
B. Y. P. U. social committees, get
busy. What can you do that will be
better than anything jwe or any
other college has ever done? Jun
iors, begin planning for your “little
sisters”. Make them feel at home
before they get here. A letter from
the class secretary will not be suf
ficient. Find out from her who your
“little sister” is, and make her feel
your “big sister’ spirit through a real
friendly letter. Each of us can
have a part in giving each new girl a
warm welcome. Let’s do our bit.
Another thing we can do is to
make our social life mean more. The
“open house” idea is a splendid one.
This will not only be enjoyable, but
it will be of real social value to us.
Let’s strive to make this something
that will be worth looking forward
to each month.
What about athletics? Don’t you
think we need more pep? Which
class is going to win the champion
ship in basket ball, baseball, soccor,
and track? Let’s have more class
games, and enter the contests with
more enthusiasm. Next year the
Athletic Association is going to give
more monograms. More of us will
have a chance to win one. Every
body begin planning now to win a
monogram^ and let’s show more in
terest and enthusiasm in all the
sports.
We need to have a feeling that the
things we do on the campus are for
ourselves. Of course, we are always
glad to have the people from up town
and elsewhere, but we need to plan
more campus activities that will help
us. We feel that we do not have to
put forth very much extra effort un
less the folk from the outside are
coming. Let’s get away from that
idea, and put our best into our stu
dent activities. Then we will really
get something worth while from
student life.

A LETTER TO ’05
(Continued from Page 6)
students, you would determine then
and there where you would send your
daughters, or if you have a son, you
would surely use every effort to get
introduced into Chowan Domestic
Science Society.
Surely you think I’ve said enough,
but I can’t stop until I say let’s meet
at Commencement and plan to be a
hundred per cent class at work for
our Alma Mater.
Yours for a greater Chowan,
LOIS VANN WYNN.
Ella Mae—What does Howard call
you, Aurelia Jane Quarrels?
Aurelia—No, he calls me Jane for
Short.
“Girls can learn Mathematics
as well as boys,” emphatically
declared Miss Minnie Caldwell,
instructor of Mathematics. She
seems to be very sure of the fact
and she knows because she has
taught both.
Miss Caldwell is a graduate of the
University of Missouri where she
took the A. B. and B. S. degrees in
Education. She later received an A.
M. degree at the same University and
has been presented with a life certifi
cate to teach mathematics in second
ary schools in Missouri. This is her
second year at Chowan and although
she had taught in the high schools ^nd
colleges of Missouri until she came
here, she says that Chowan girls show
a spirit of loyalty and cooperation
that is not found in many schools.
The department is a very active
one and the members have been doing
splendid work. On the afternoon of
March 14th the Math Club met ac
cording to custom. At this meeting
two very interesting papers were read
on “Times of Women Mathematic
ians” after which refreshments were
served. At the next meeting Miss
Jessie Marie Parker is planning to il
lustrate the use of the abacus. There
will also be a debate: “Resolved,
that from the time of Newton to the
middle of the eighteenth century,
England
matics than Europe.”
The purpose of this club is to dis
cuss many interesting and helpful
topics in mathematic, for which there
is little time during the class period.
* YES! WE HAVE *
* CHICKEN AT CHOWAN *
Last Thursday evening the
Sophomores had a very pleasant
surprise awaiting them as they
took their places in the dining
room. The hostess was given
orders not to serve the plates.
Every one sat in amazement. In
a few minutes a regular chicken
dinner was brought in. The
Sophs declared that it had been
brought by mistake, because they
knew nothing of it before. Then
the hostess announced that this
dinner was given by Miss Myra
Benthall, a sophomore.
It is useless to say that the
dinner was enjoyed for “actions
speak louder than words”—not
even the head was left. Yells
were given for Miss Benthall at
the end of the meal.
A Duplin County farmer taught to
cull hens by an extension worker
from State College, culled out 26
hens for a neighbor. These were put
in a fattening pen and laid seven
eggs during ten days. The remain
der of the flock is now producing
more eggs than the original number
because of more feed and better at
tention.

TOMORROW?
IMAGINATION is the key which unlocks the door to opportunity. Our job today is to get ready for tomorrow.
Money is the trade token of labor. Labor is power—and power is good—when it is used with a thought of tomor
row.
The man standing behind the door is the YOU of tomorrow. Who is he and what he is depends upon you and
you alone.
Initiative is the individual need of today—it’s the word with four “IPs” in it. Put that word in tomorrow’s
tool box—and use it. It will get you somewhere.
Indifference Doubt Lack of Self Confidence—Want of Purpose—they all lead to defeat and make labor
drudgery and unprofitable.
A bank book is an important text book. Acquire one, filling its entry regularly even though in a small way, and
soon you will be able to grasp opportunities which will insure your tomorrow.
