He further stated that woman exemplifies this faith. He closed hig address with an appeal to the graduates to “recog nize, preserve and enlarge this heritage of altruism, beauty and faith; for they are your greatest endowment and the safeguards of our civilization.” This address was followed by the awarding of ho-nors and medals by Dean Caldwell, who said, “At the beginning of this year the dean of women, who is also the advisor of the president of the Student Government Association, announced to the student body that at the commencement, a ban ner would be awarded to the class that had the best record as to con duct; that is, the fewest number of call-downs. There has been considerable rivalry among the four classes for the banner, but it is to this year’s graduating class that the honor goes. “Speaking in tenns of statistics, there must be some correlation be tween good beiiavior and high- grade scholarship, for of this senior class 12 have earned more than 200 quality credits and only 120 are required for graduation. This is the first graduating class to graduate under the qualitative system of credits, which was in augurated four years ago. “The average of the 16 out of the 22 who did all their college work at Chowan is 180 quality credits. MSss Beatrice Burrell, who came to us in her junior year from Wingate, has earned 90 qual ity credits this year alone. “Those earning more than 200 quality credits are: Susan Barnes, Marjorie Bowles, Ethel Britt, Lois Cale, Vida Dunning, Neva Futrell, Mary Hoggard, Hilton Jones, Louise McDaniel, Mary Raynor, Margaret Richmond and Pauline Willis. “There has been a custom estab lished by the two literary societies to award each year to the girl who has contributed most to the im provement of her society during that year, a ring. This year the Lucalian Society has given this honor to Miss Pauline Willis. The Alathenian Society ring goes to Miss Mary Raynor. “When President Edwards was dean of Chowan College, he be gan the practice, which has con tinued since that time, of making names of those students who have carried 12 or more hours of lit erary work during the semester and have an average of A or B. These lists are posted on the bul letin board and published in the college paper, the CHOWANIAN. “For this semester, the lists are as follows; Those making an average of A, Marjorie Bowles, Beatrice Burrel, Maybelle Honey cutt, Virginia Martin, Mrs. Maude Newsome.

ON WHISTLING I suppose every small girl, even as young as seven, has had a de sire to whistle, along with her other desires to excel, or at least to be equal. This desire came for me as a defensive measure. For instance, when I was quite young—and even now for that matter—when it became neces sary for me to plunge into a dark, unknown space, I would throw out my chest, stand as tall as possible, step with a thud in an attempt to sound manly, and w'histle. Bear ing in iliind the old superstition that the name of God would dis pel ghosts, I always chose to whistle a hymn under such cir cumstances, for I thought no masked gurglar or villain would dare pounce upon me while a hymn was in the process of execu tion. Upon - reflection, I do not know which would have been the more perfectly executed by that rendition, the supposed villain or the martyred hymn. Again, I always found whistling quite profitable after my sister and I had disagreed. To persuade her that the quarrel did not im press me very seriously, I would whistle vigorously and long. Be cause my mind and emotions were preoccupied I did not vary my program, but whistled the tune that first popped into my mind over and over again. I did not know at that time that anyone could guess from my shrill notes that I had been cut very deeply by the quarrel. Besides doing me much service, whistling has caused me much pain in a physical way. I must confess that I have not always employed this gift with discretion. Believing that others enjoyed my music as much as I, I have never arranged a schedule for its use. Whistling at 10 o’clock in the morning was as enjoyable to me as it was at 2 o’clock in the after noon. However, it seems that there is always a joy-killer for every entertaining thing and I have good reason to believe that my mother much preferred to use a hickory stick rather than to quiet a crying baby. It seemed that the baby always chose his daytime naps when I was most prompted to whistle, and the mem bers of my family always chose the most inconvenient hours for afternoon naps. Like many other splendid arts, whistling may be either a blessing or a curse. Whether it is despised or welcomed depends entirely upon the time of its use and the use to which it is put. MRS.

Even before I ci^ld stir a tune, I would pucker my Jips and blow as I had seen my b+others do. Whistling There is but one straight road held a rare charm for me. To my success, and that is merit. The parents, whistling girls and women is successful is the man were vulga'. They often told me, Capacity never with ratheil horrified expressions, I®cks opportunity. It cannot re- that whistling women were like crowing hens in that they both had bad ends. I judged from their expressions that whistling from a woman was a terrible offense, probably punishable by death. But the crowing hen comparison rather appealed to my imagina tion, and the hen’s destiny seem ed unjust, somehow. I couldn’t see why it wouldn’t be quite prop er for a hen to crow. In fact, I still entertain that idea. I don’t know what would have main undiscovered, because it is sought by too many anxious to use it.—Bourke Cockran. SALUTE THE DAWN Yesterday is but a dream.
