PRESIDENT EDWARDS
UMPIRES THE GAME
Championship Fracas Be
tween Juniors and
Sophs Soon
In spite of the wide spread pro
paganda that the Seniors would
be victors, the Juniors '‘wiped
them off the map” last Friday,
November 11, in a baseball game.
For several days before, the. gen
eral question had been, “Who’s
going to win the game?” Scjme
said the Juniors would, and others
—mostly Seniors—r-said ths Sen
iors would.
At four o’clock, the players as
sembled on the athletic field and
the battle began. Mr. Edwards
was the umpire. The Juniors were
at the bat. They stayed there so
long that it began to Jaok AS; if itha
Seniors would not tfiCTS,' rin-
ally, through the efforts of Ray
nor, senior pitcher, and Bichmfmdi
senior catcher, three Juniors went
down. There was a breathless
hopeful inoment for the Seniors,
but they w^re soon in the. field
again wi|h only goose eggs to
thair credit-on the score card.' In
the third inning, Dunning pitch
ed for the SenioiSf Th^, flayers
had “Wdttned' ' they ptif
more pep into the game. They
played .spunkily, but ft takes
spunk plus to win a baseball game
against Chowan Juniors.
The game ended eventually^
and when, the score, 46 to 6, was
read, the Seniors were still able
to grin. Why should they worry?

muscular accomplishments, any-

REV. L. J. BRAY TALKS
On Wednesday afternoon, Mrs.
Wi; B. Edwardsiinvited the ladies
otf: the Chowan faculty to Biaet at
her home Monday evening, N6
vtonber 14, to hem table cloths.
Everyone was delighted to lay
aside a blue pencil, with which
she is known to be skillful, to -tnrj’
her skill with her needle. At eight
o’clock, ' sewing basketali nnder
arm, they straggled over to Mrs.
Edwards’. Greetings over, they
■were assigned cloths and set to
work with a will. The assembly
looked like a Ladies’ Aid Society,
but the sewing didn’t. Most of it
had some peculiarity. Hems puck
ered and failed to come out even
and had to be ripped out; some
of them looked shired; stitches
were astonishingly varied in
length; but everybody was jolly.
I/At ten-thirty o’clock, Mrs. Ed
wards interrupted the sewing
party hy serving hot chocolate
and chicken salad-—* welcome in
terruption. Aftar this diversion,
the seamstresses resllmei their
work. When the clock struck
eleven^! tiiey rose rehictanBly.
Some had completed their task;
others took away their doths tb
finish them in a day or tivo. A«

TALKS WORTH WHILE
Miss McDowell’s talks, to the
sti^ent body, i on ‘‘Building An
Ideal”, have been very interest
ing and helpful to tV girls. Miss
McDowell has worked with col
lege girls for almost half a cen
tury, an^ she knows all about
girls’ problems. The messages
that she brings during the chapel
hour on Wednesday always help
each girl solve bei; problems bet
ter and build her ideals higher.
The Annual Amateur Night
has come and gone. The high ex
pectations of everyone were ful
filled. Amateur Night was a decid
ed success.
The program was divided into
three parts; Stunts, Readings, and
Musical numbers.
The freshman stunt was the
first number on the program. This
was a typical freshman stunt—a
playlet which included the entire
class. A father and mother take
their twenty-odd children on a
picnic. They find it necessary to
e¥oes » railroad track near the
village ' -?tatio?i. ,The children
dance about and get into mischief
or cling to the skirts of the moth
er while the father interviews the
ticket agent. He is endeavoring
to find out when a train will pass,
and when he learns that there
are no trains going east, west,
north, or south that day, he in
forms the mother and the twenty-
odd children that it is safe for
them to cross the railroad tracks!
The sophomores carried off the
prize of this group with their
silhouettes of the faduity. Kate
Maekie did some good impersonat
ing, and so did several others who
made silhouettes. The teachers
especially enjoyed this stunt, as
they seldom have the opportunity
to see themselves as others see
them.
The older people in the au
dience were especially apprecia-
1.1.-u th- fnllc,
songs which the juniors gave. The
songs were sung by Madie Lee
Wade. Old Black Joe has never
been blacker than he was whan
he hobbled across the stage while
Madie Lee Wade sang his renown
ed song. Water was n«ver sweeter
than that drunk from an old oak
en bucket which hung in the well.
Lovers strolled slovrly home front
Aunt Dinah’s Quilting Party; old
friends gossiped around the fire
lest Auld Acquaintance Be For
got; and Annie Laurie gave the
renowned “promise true” right in
front of a crowd of spectators.
A coUegeri play, coached by
Mary Raynor and Jean Craddock,
was the last number in this group.
The eharacters were, for the most
part, college boys. The hero of
the play considered himself a so
cial failure; swore never to be a
lover; and aspired to be a lawyer.
Needless to say, he fell in love
with tbe first girl he met at the
first house party he attended.
In the second division of the
program, Julia Grady, representa
tive fpow'the senior; cl«33,Tgave a
reading, “Naughty Self.” Then
Mary Lou Jones gave an original
reading, “Wri*t--watches «r
Peace." The theme of this read
ing arose out of her ow^'exper
ience with class-mates who de
manded to see her wri*t watch
during class and the discovery of
her inattention by hawk-eyed
teachers. A sympathizing au
dience waxed indignant as she
told of repeated zeros marked
against her because the girl next
to her had punched her and ask
ed the time of day. There seems
to be no way out for Mary Lou
except to go, as she said,.to the
nearest point of the Atlantic
Ocean, tie a mill stone to her
faithful watch and “chuok” it in
the . “briny deep.” This reading
won the prize in the second group.
A play composed and read by
DorcM Lassiter was received with
much merriment. The characters
of the play were William Penn,
Puritanical preacher, and a mod
ern flapper. The scenes were in
the home of the flapper and at a
moving picture theater, to which
the flapper had wheeded Penn to
take tier. Such a queer combina
tion of characters produced a
truly comic effect.
“Papa and the Boy”, a reading
given by Kate Mackie, representa^
tive of the Lucalian Society* pic
tured vividly a small boy’s wake
fulness in the dead hours of the
night, and his father’s exaspera
tion. Kate imitates a small boy to
the life.
The third section of the pro
gram consisted of original pro-
