Alathenian Society MATERIAL FORCED OUT THIS ISSUE We regret very much that lack of space in the High School num ber of the Chowanian forced us to leave out an excellent story, “The Happiness That Peril Brought.” by Miss Gertrude Draper, of the Murfreesboro school, even after the type had been set up. Other stories we wished very much to print, but could not. We are grateful for an unusually good short story. “Cindy Joins the Ku Klux.” by Marion Holloman, of the eleventh grade. Rich Square, and a well-written fable by Evelyn Holloman, of the tenth grade. They are students of Miss Elsie Crew. We are ^rry the material came coo late for publication, as did also the material from Eli the class of ’29 a century ago, whose proud lot it was to be com posed of a group of choice souls of whom the gentle facetions Oliver Wendell Holmes was outstanding member. —Mary Whitley, ’29. Whitney High School. Saxapahaw. N. C.. which included interesting editorials by Misses Gladys Mc- Bane, Lenota Ivey and Gracie Montatte. Another year we shall try to manage our advertisements so as to leave more space for articles in the High School number of the Chowanian. THE FAMOUS CLASS OF ’29 Among the classes that have been, and are. and shall be, there is none more worthy of distinc tion and none more deserving of a place in the sun than that of ’29. The greatness of its members, in dividually and collectively speak ing. cannot be surpassed. Bards, orators, souls of wit and humor, mighty powers in governmental proceedings, stars in all realms of the fine arts, and those who are worthy of filling the chairs in the greatest universities, with con- sumnate ease and the highest grace and dignity; yea. and more than that, members, we might more correctly say. who are rather cap able of filling the “settees” in the aforesaid universities—all these, and those whose talents and genius have constrained them into other directions of fame (which time and space forbids us to men tion just now), all, we are more than proud to say. have excelled in whatever they have done. Cn whatever occasions one of these persons is mentioned, straightway, on all sides, arises the unanimous outburst of acclamation, “Yes, that noble character is a mem ber of ‘the Famous Class of ’29’.” Wherefore, is it then not legiti mate that we give endless praise and glory to those superior souls of the class of ’29? One of them V§rj' advisedly remarked on one 664asIon: “I am good company for myself." It Is. of course, con- Beeutively evident that this parson was more than good company for others. Then let us never be slow and forgetful, but always diligent and faithful in lauding the ac- eempllshment* of, »nd bringing fresh laurels for these renowned wKo found their pldce with in the ranks of such a class as that of ’29. But why proceed with this mat^ ter? Words fail us in rendering respect to spirits meriting iftdre than human tongi^e caft utter. Gentle .readers, think not that we yainly boast or that we are vic tims of an over-supply of that quality called conceit. We would not so disappoint you, who have so much faith in us. However, once again, we feel Urged to remind you that the class of ’29 is justly famous, but. stop a moment and hear—We speak of JAMS There are jams and jams. When I was a child it seemed that there was no end to the tempting jams that were on the pantry shelf to tease my appetite, and some times I got into them, or they got into me. My mother must have been a born detective for she never failed to locate the very jar. the contents of which had appeased my hunger. But it Vssn*t always iiecessary for Tier to see the jar to know what mis chief I had been in. I remember one time as I was enjoying a feast of bread and butter and straw berry jam, I dropped some of the delicious repast on the front of my dress. Had I been aware of this. I no doubt would have made some effort to remove the con demning evidence, but I knew nothing of it until mother asked me how I got the stain on my dress. My brain was in such con fusion that I could only resort to tears for an answer. Many arc the times that I have longed for they day when I should be a big girl and should no longer have the disastrous jams—both the ones on the pantry shelf and the ones I got into by meddling with them—to disturb my peace of mind. However. I was not long in learning that the jams of childhood were of minor impor tance as compared with those of the world. Everyone who has been away to school knows, no doubt, what a task it is to get all the neces sary articles packed in the limited amount of space one usually has in one’s trunk. I shall never for get my first experience in pack ing. When my trunk was filled, there were still many things to go in. As I crammed something in one corner, and jammed something in another. I was convinced that the packing jam was worst of all. There is the time just before examinations when a student tries to crowd ninety minutes of work into every hour in a desperate ef fort to cram sufficient ideas in his head to “get by.” As a rule one usually makes such a perfect jam of this job that it is impossible to separate the ingredients, and the result is a jam of ideas on paper with little or no meaning to them. But none can surpass the traffic jam. I recall a traffic jam I got into one day last summer, from which I was indeed lucky to get out safe and sound. The streets were crowded, but the cop was managing the traffic in an orderly way. and all would have been well but for a lady who evidently was just learning to drive. She be came very excited at being caught in a close place, and in an effort to turn into a side street she nearly ran into my car. As I dodged her. my car almost col lided with another car that was also trying to get out of her way. The cop had to halt the entire line of cars in order to get the bewildered lady out of danger— as well as all the other people. My sister, whom I was taking to the bus station, was almost des perate as she was sure she was going to miss her bus. What jams one does get in some times! But if one can only keep his brain from getting in a jam. he can usually get out of all other jams in perfect safety. —Mary Lou Jones, ’29. The Pamlicoon Helen W: “I was a beauty in my day.” Hilda J: “Just another day wasted away.” Roxie F: “Rosabet swears she has never been kissed by a man.” Mildred H: “Well, isn’t that enough to make any girl swear?” “Heard the Guillotine Song?” “Nope.

Her suggestions have been most valuable to us. Through her class in journ alism she has taught us the technique of a newspaper and has helped us to realize the importance of a college paper. We are very grateful to Miss Carroll for her encouragement as well as for her assistance. The New Market Murfreesboro, N. C.
