The lives of some men remind us that we can make our lives sublime by being different. A good face is one of the best letters of recommendation. Remember that two-thirds of promotion consists of motion. All things quicker to the man who meets them halfway. A generation ago there were a thousand men to every opportun ity, while today there are a thou sand opportunities to every man. —Henry Ford to spend their time flirting until they are at least 40 years of age, “then a man should settle down to more staple amusements, such as work, and the seriousness of bringing up a family, which in all probability he has left to his wife. ...” Now if men follow Mussolini’s advise, then either the woman is going to have to walk in the man’s shoes until he gets thru with his flirtation, or if she is walking in her own shoes, then after the age of 40 man is to be gin steppin’ out in woman’s shoes. Now what do y’r think of that? Mussolini failed to explress his views on that side of the question. He points out clearly that wo men are nothing to be compared with man, and states that they are “exactly opposite to the aver age man”. Well now if men are Do not falter or shrin But just think out your work | And then work out your think. —Waterman Famous Cart" ^ist Joins Our L„£f It Is with pride this newspaper this week introduces to its readers Mr. Albert T. Reid, All American Cartoonist, whose cartoons w|ll appear regular in these columns every week. We are confident his work will win quick favor. REVIVAL AT BAPTIST CHURCH IN PROGRESS Doctor Ellis, of Henderson, De lighting Church Folks and Students Both the college and the town are being benefitted by the ser- First Baptist Church of Hender- mons of Dr. Ellis, pastor of the son, N. C., who is helping Dr. Burrell in the revival here. Ser vices are held at the regular chapel hour at the college and every evening at 7:4B. These meetings will continue through Friday evening. May 29. In every sermon Dr. Ellis gives a vital message to both the saved and the unsaved. Mrs. Ellis is with him and she has made two wonderful talks to the girls in the College. She spoke in Evening Watch Friday Evening and her message was on Life. She mentioned that eve nthe budding of the trees should suggest to us the fact that there is a Power that gives Life, and that we should strive to make our lives worth while. Sunday evening Y. W. A. she made an interesting missionary talk in which she pictured the Since this is the last issue of The Chowanian before music week, the Sophomores, instead of ■ •: iting the type of sophisticated articles that they would like to have published in their edition of the paper, have turned their atten tion to one of the higher arts— music—and have endeavored to give the readers an idea of what the music departments of the col lege have in store for music week. Therefore, the main thought of this issue is not SOPHOMORE, but MUSIC WEEK. They have tried to put just enough sophis ticated punctuation in to remind the readers that the Sophomore Class still IS. Did y’r ever have just heaps and stacks o’ studyin’ to do and y’r room wasn’t quite as quiet as y’r would like for it to be and y’r went to the library feeling cer tain that y’r would be all peace ful and quiet and could get y’r thoughts together all clear and straight, but y’r found someone over here was whisperin’, and someone over there was whisper in’, and someone over yonder was whisperin’, and in general things were in a hum—perhaps ’twas the hum of business, but anyway ’twas a hum—and y’r couldn’t think and y’r couldn’t study, and y’r couldn’t do nuthin,’ se y’r just got up and left—did y’r? Did y’r? Huh? sires to accomplish something in tpe world are purely selfish and f you would look into the soul of every man you meet in the course of a day, one and all would be the same”—then thanks be that women are not like them. He states emphatically that “woman is inferior to man”. One of her marked defects is that she has no creative powers—careful, Mr. Mussolini, careful. Didn’t you know that a woman invented the first ice-cream freezer? And she can create more new dresses out of one old dress than any tai lor man that ever was. But when Mr. Mussolini made the statement “woman is to me an agreeable parenthesis in my busy life” perhaps he didn’t recall the fact that parentheses are used to set the unimportant things apart from the things that are really worth while. Go on Mr. Mussolini the joke’s on you! NEW STAFF REPLACES OLD For three years The Chowanian has been under the direction of Margaret Aman who has brought the paper to its present standing among college publications. How ever, this life is a succession of changes, and with the last issue Miss Aman and her staff of co- ■workers gave place to the new Btaff. Wc. ■' new staff, realize the Tesporf ' ility of the task we are facing, r”.d shall do all within our ability to make The Chowanian a credit to Chowan College. With the co-'i ieration of the student body we know we can do it. U AND I MUSSOLINI DECLARES WOMEN INFERIOR “Wotnen are the agreeable or pleasant parenthesis of life”, Mussolini is quoted as saying when a woman interviewed him about his opinion of women. He expressed his disgust at the idea of women trying to walk in men’s shoes, yet he is quite in favor of them getting out and making their own living. But here’s what seems strange; He advises men All the letters of the alphabet The righteous way should choose But two of them, especially. Should mind their P’s and Q’s A deal of trouble in this world, And much that goes awry. Could be prevented easily By these two, U and I. If U and I are cross, you see, There’s bound to be a fuss. If U and I untidy are. Somewhere there’ll be a muss. If U and I are selfish, there Will some one suffer wrong. If U and I rob bird’s nest, why, The world will lose a song. If some one feels dejected, or ’Tis sunshine may come back again If U and I but smile. If U should grumble, whine or pout, Or I should snarl and fret, A storm would soon be raging that We should not soon forget. So U look out and mind your ways! And I must likewise do. And keep a cheery corner where The skies are always blue. The A’s and B’s and E’s and O’s Do work that’s good and great, Bet U and I can do the most To keep this old world straight. —Selected.

THE LIBRARY GARDEN To me the library is a garden where I may wander at will pick ing the flowers that I like and leaving those that I don’t like. There are many, many varieties of flowers in this book garden. Some are large and tall while others try to hide their dainty, wee faces be hind their brothers and sisters. The large flaunting flowers are the fat encyclopedias and refer ence books to which I go when I feel the need of a few real facts to aid me in a thesis or a debate. But when my mind is wearied of cut and dried facts and is in need of refreshment, I direct my steps toward the purple panSies and the sweet for-get-me-nots. I go also, to the sky violets lifting their innocent faces to the sky, and the sweet peas, standing so bravely in their riot of color. These are the novels and the books of flction in the garden. I go to the bleeding heart and the ragged robin when I crave a bloody tragedy or a story of adventure. If I desire a taste of French literature, I wan der over to pluck a few sprigs of the dainty xuer-de-lis. When I desire to bring a little variety in to my prosy existence, I gather a bunch of roses to add to the al ready brilliant colors of my other flowers. The roses are the poems of my garden and more than one tender sentiment and pearly tear drop have I found hidden by their delicate petals. Many of my leisure hours as well as the hours of study are spent in my garden of books. Many blossoms of pleasure, as well as those of necessary infor mation, have I plucked while I wandered there. —Bettie Walter Jenkins OLD OFFICERS Y. W. A. WERE ENTERTAINED On Thursday evening, April 7 the new Y. W. A. oflicers were agreeably surprised upon enter ing the dining room to find small slips of paper on their plates which read as follows: “The old y. W. A. cabinet at home to the new Y. W. A. cabinet, Club Room 8:00 o’clock”. Promptly at eight o’clock a merry group of girls gathered at the Club House. One of the old cabinet members. Ruby Daniel led a series of contests.
