After taking his text from Obadiah 1:14, Mr. Walters gave illustrations of crossways in towns, and on highways and be tween nations, naming among in ternational crossrdads the Suez and Panama canals.

COLLEGE PERSONALS WHITE PHANTOMS MEET “Y” QUINT AT ROCKY MOUNT HILL CHEVROLET COMPANY “IT’S WISE TO CHOOSE A SIX” Chevrolet Sales and Service MURFREESBORO, N. C. The Y. M. C. A. Amocos of Rocky Mount defeated Chowan’s White Phantoms 48-21 at Rocky Mount Y. M. C. A, gym Thursday night, February 14. The Phantoms, tired by the trip, and having to play on a large court, could not play their best basketball. Moreover, “Pat” Tay lor, a regular forv/ard, was un able to take the trip. This de cidedly weakened Chowan’s team. The Y team was made up of ex- college players, some having made the All-Southern teams, and all having played two or three years of varsity ball at the larger col leges and universities. The Phan toms were playing out of their class, but they put up a good fight. The Chowan quint made as many attempts at the basket as did the Amocos, but were unable to make their shots good. Forrest and Lee featured for Chowan, while Sides topped high score for the Y team.

CAMPUS THROUGH THE KEYHOLE Friends and fellow school mates, lend me your eyes. I say eyes instead of ears because the time has rolled around once more for us to peep through that well known device, the Keyhole. And so, we shall see what we shall see. What relation could our J. P. Freeman have to a common fowl? I don’t know—but here is a statement he made on Psychology class: “Small chicks will peck at anything. I know from experi ence.” Figure it out for yourself. By the way, how many of you have been honored by r,.u .i>er- ship in that organization on the campus “The Charm Club?” It has everybody wondering. From what I hear Earl Barrett and Edwin Flythe have some new nicknames. Call theni “infant” and see what they say. Basketball is going strong. It may be a good thing that the in terest is so high, otherwise, as in some cases, the only sport we would indulge in would be hav- ng athlete’s feet. There’s one thing that “Pee- Wee” McDaniel is more afraid of than a wild cat. That is a blind date. However, she was very dis appointed when her Romeo from Rock Mount failed to turn up. Mj. but Louise Lassiter is one lucky girl. Were you privileged to attend the swell Valentine par- cy her boy friend from Roanoke Rapids threw for her? She’s get ting “up” in the world. Rumors are linking the names of our Scotch lassie and Glenn Parker the short-wave man. Those same rumors seem to be about 99.9 percent correct. An addition has been made to the Chowan radio family. Miss Elizabeth Shaw is the proud pos sessor of a new radio. The name has not been announced. Is Pat Taylor undecided? He seems to be torn between those baby features and bangs like Cleopatra’s. These Seniors are certainly hav ing a good time watching over their little sisters. I’ll be glad when I get (to be a dignified Senior and some good shows come to town. It seems to me that there v/ere quite a few letters in the box late ly from State College. All were addressed to Miss Beatrice Martin. “Love is Just Around the Corner!” Two of our day students have decided to ?tay in the dormitory. We’re glad to have you, Elsie and Christine. There is something that has been worrying Lib Shaw lately. She finally got enough courage to ask somebody “Does lightwood come out of trees,” My guess is yes, unless it is mined. money when she gets to be a bil lionaire. Mr. Robinson asked her how long it would take to count a billion dollars. Barbara cried “It would take a whole clay!” Mr. Robinson explained that, counting 10 hours a day, it would take just 120 years. Fast girl, Barbara! Maggie Price called Valentine and asked if there was to be a ball game. Val replied, “Yes, we have a game with the Rocky Mount Y. M. C. A.” To this Mag gie cried, “Oh, is it a double- header?” Val told her it was not but said that if she wanted a girls’ game he would try the Y. W.C.A.
