Tuesday, June 5, 1926. THE CHOWANIAN. CHOWAN COLLEGL. MURFREESBORO, N. C CAMPUS WORKERS HAVE DONE MUCH WORK THIS YEAR (Continue from Page 1) for the amount of work which it accomplishes in the future, and it will always be ready and grateful for any donation whether in the form of cash, shrubbery or plants of any kind. MESSAGE BY THE WAY SCHOLARSHIP AWARDED MISS NEWEL MASON Miss Newel Mason, professor of education and psychology at Chowan College, has been offered a scholarship by Duke University. This is one of the 32 fellowships and scholarships given by Duke University to students in the United States. Miss Mason was one of the 32 out of 190 applicants who received a scholarship. At present. Miss Mason feels it unwise to accept this honor be cause of the uncertainty of her mother’s health. MEMBERS OF CLASSES VISIT DAMASK MILL Several members of the Eco- --Bemics and Clothing Classes went to Roanoke Rapids Friday after noon, May 12, to go through the damask mill there. Those who went were: Miss Crew, Miss Payne, Ethel Britt, Susan Barnes, Marjorie Bowles, Alice Carter, Mary Whitley, Elizabeth Webb, Kathleen Johnson, Madeline Langston, Doris Woodard and Agnes Harrell. CAMPUS DRESSED UP during COMMENCEMENT My dear Chowan Girli: I write this while I wait for the train on my way home from Chowan, May 31—to wish you a happy and profit able vacation, and to say that I am already looking forward with more pleasure than you dream to exploring certain fields of English with you next year. I want, too, to take this op portunity to say that I ap preciate highly the cheerful and enthusiastic co-operation which you have given me in your English work the past year. It takes good students to make a good teacher; this you will find out if you ever try to teach. Au revoir, my Chowan stu dents, past and future! May you keep well and happy, and be on hand September 5, with smiling faces. Every good wish to you! Bertha L. Carroll. give it to you?” Virginia Martin; you are so dumb!” “Oh Ruby, Through the efforts of Mother Nature and Mr. Liverman, over seer of the college grounds, the campus was dressed out in its commencement dress with all the necessary ruffles and tucks. Mr. Liverman spent a great deal of his time having the campus clear ed of the winter contribution of leaves, trimming the shrubs and making it attractive in general. The shrubs that Mrs. Edwards, chairman of the campus commit tee, has had planted, add much to the general appearance. We are indebted to the Freshman Class for the beautiful tree that they planted on the east driveway, just where a tree was needed. MEMBERS OF CLASS IN DEMAND BY SCHOOLS TVorp J«? for Chowan those who have secured positions for next year are; Miss Susan Barnes, who will teach the sixth grade at Conway, N.

SOPHOMORES ENTERTAIN SENIORS, THEATER PARTY Tuesday evening. May 8, the Seniors were all smiles. Why? Because the Sophs had invited the Seniors to join them in a little theater party on Thursday eve ning, May 10. How happy the Seniors were—to think they were going to the show with the Sophs, and “more than that,” they would see the thrilling picture, “Bache- I lor’s Paradise.” r Promptly at 7:80 o’clock Tues day evening, the Sophs and Seniors left the campus for Howell’s Theater. For more than an hour they stood on the streets waiting for the “picture show man,” but alas! he failed to “show ~up.” From there they went to Nicholson’s Drug Store and spent a pleasant hour together. The Sophs did all in their power to make the Seniors enjoy the party, and their efforts were not in vain. Everyone spent an enjoyable eve ning. Blanche P. Boushall (Hrs. B. B.
