Often, she has to work overtime, when material J^omes in at the last minute. Finally, we must not forget those connected with Parker Brothers, to the associate editor, to the linotype operators, to the pressman and others who have part in the work, we owe much for the success of our paper. But plsase don't think that when the Chowanian is published and the JcumaUsm class gets copies that everything in the pa per is new to them. Far from it, for they do write the greater part of the 8,500 words that it takes to fill the paper. So when we read our paper then, let us remember that besides those who do the writing there are many others to whom our hats should be off, as an expression of gratitude -for their work.

Volunteer and Life Service Band Sallie RiddicIZ - Pres. Dramatic Club PARAGRAPHICS The students of Chowan College wish to extend to their president. Dr. McCulloch, a hearty welcome. Although we have not yet been privileged to become personally and individually acquainted with him, the first weeks of his admin istration have caused us to realize for hirri% sincere appreciation. We recognize in Dr. McCulloch the qualities c-f a true leader. At the same time, we know him to be as we are, a student among stu dents, for in his own words, “I shall need to be educated for a college president.” In addition to these qualities he ofllers to us a lasting friendship, accompanied by an extremely contagious smile. He has shown a intense inter est in Chowan, a desire to aid us in our problems, and an eagerness to carry out plans for both the college in general and its person nel.' We, as a student body, wish to extend in return, our loyalty and cooperation in whatever ca pacity it may be needed. Since we do not live in a barn, don’t you think it would be possi ble to close doors that we find closed? For instance, the library door is often closed to keep out the many distracting noises which arise in the halls. In the cold weather the heavy outside doors are closed to keep us all from freezing. In any case, remember to close the doors which you use. Even after the special “pen” has been arranged for the librar ians, several people still persist in going around the desk to get books. Ask the librarian to find the reserved book which you need. If she cannot locate it, you wiU be given special permission to look for it yourself. It is ietnersting to note that with the coming of spring our campus is being improved. The necessary pruning is being done, and dead trees are being removed. There is a good deal of natural beauty on our campus which might be pre served if the necessity of rework ing it were realized. Did you ever wonder why some people blush when you look at them straight? They are embar rassed to think that they are be ing stared at. How do you sup pose outsiders feel when they visit Chowan and have to pass a crowd of chattering, giggUng girls on the steps? Perhaps they overhear such remarks as “Gee, he’s good-look- ing,” or “I’d like to meet him.” You would spare the visitors a great deal of embarrassment by not congregating to look at them. Besides, it’s not the first time you’ve ever seen people. The books which were donated to the library by the Alumnae As sociation recently have been ac cessioned and placed on the libr ary shelves. These new volumes afford a variety of good books for the college' book-lovers. Try to be prompt in coming to the dining hall. However, if it is impossible for you to be on time come down as quietly as possible. AN APPRECIATION There is hardly a student at Chowan who doesn’t smile when he receives his monthly Chowan ian. Even though the grin doesn’t show on his face there is perhaps a happy feeling inside. But do the students know who they owe that smile to? If you would ask them most likely the majority of the students would say that the Journalism class deserved all the credit for issuing the paper. This is only half true for the editor, business manager, circulation manager, the typist, and the pub lishing company, have a large part in making the college paper pos sible. Have you ever though of the editor’s job or do you even know what it is? Is there a column in the paper that you enjoy any more than “Campus Thru the Key Hole”? Well, that’s the editor’s or iginality. She has the entire re sponsibility of the paper. She has to copy read each story that is sent in to the Journalism class, make out the dummy for the whole make-up of the paper, write the headlines, count the words, send the news to press, and then has to go to the press office and proof-read the paper. Some of the most important stories fall to her to write. Not so easy, do you think? Did you have the impression that stores and companies sent their ads to the paperj Well, they certainly don’t. It is the duty of the business manager to ride* around to near-by towns and ask for ads in such a tactful way that the manager of the firm will think that the favor is all his to have his ad in our paper. Moreover, the manager has to keep up the record for the finances of the paper and see that the printing bill is met. And you don’t have to go to the post office to get your paper either. The circulation manager hands it right out to you. It is her duty to fold, stamp, and mail copies to the out-of-town subscri bers also. Then we cannot forget our typist. Just think how patiently and earnestly she works, typing How many of u.s ever stopped for a moment to think just what would happen if a fire really and truly did break out in Chowan? Just a few days ago there was a j small smoke scare down in the kitchen, and if all reports be true, a minature panic ensued among the few faculty members that hap pened to be on Faculty Hall. Now consider what would hap pen if a fire happened to start in the main building. Every girl in the dormitory v,fOuld start on a “grand scram” i^or the wooden stairs in the main building, the place v./here a fire is most likely to begin. Meanwhile, there are at least two perfectly good iron fire es capes that are a safe distance from the wood structure that constitutes the front of the main building. Yet, these fire escapes have been allowed to become rusty from con stant disuse. Moreover, it seems that it would be safe to say that there is not -one girl out of fifty that knows how to let down the ladder if some one had presence of mind enough to get a key and unlock the doors leading to them. It seems that it would be a good plan to have more fire drills, using the fire escapes as means of leav ing the building. Perhaps it might be well to have the faculty take part, since they have proved them selves to be as excitable as the students. And another thing stu dents, the next time there is a fire drill, you may be reasonably sure that your cooperation will be greatly appreciated. the first King of Israel took place, we go on to the wonders at Megiddo. The excavation going on there, under the direction of the University of Chicago, tell the story of the fading glory of Rome and Greece. Megiddodates back to 900 B. C. One statra of the ex cavation reveals the glory of Solo mon’s time. There we saw the stone troughs, in the area of Solo mon’s stables; and by the troughs were upright stones to which the horses were tied. Megiddo lay in the central path across the country from east to west. It was there fore an easy prey to Egypt. In 545 B. C. the Egyptians captured the town, and found fabulous wealth. At the present time Rockefeller is having a rock road built from Tiberias to Megiddo^ We come next to Haifa, soon to be the greatest seaport town in the near 'East. The English Govern ment is building a haribor there that will cost six millions of dol lars. While at Haifa, we stopped at a hotel on the top of Mt. Car- n»el. Here it was that Elijah had his contest with the prophets of Baal, where the four hundred false prophets were slain and thrown into the river Kishon. The 18th chapter of I Kings tells of this wonderful event. Haifa is a beautiful town nestled down by the seaside. mayfbe the girls won’t get so lone some on Sunday. CAMPUS THROUGH THE KEY-HOLE Since ole man winter has really been serious about the weatlier proposition, I think I'd like to be a bear. Then I could hibernate until spring. Some people look better around here, and I know it can't be the said spring weather. Take Ruby Caudle for instance. But maybe this can be explained by the tele phone call she had from Norfolk recently. Sarah Brickhouse has started a new school of pronunciation. Also Martha Yates and Adeline are conducting a “Better English” campaign. One of the main ob jectives is to teach the world in general, that “haint” ain’t good English! Kitty White can say, “Huh”, down pat! I hear she practiced it rather much on a date not long ago. Maybe I’d better tip off Mar garet Brett that Evelyn is about to beat her time. Maybe the “ob ject of her affections” has chang ed his mind instead of her com plexion. Pat Cook has technique that is sumpin! Her numerous admirers had competition the night 'that Authur and the Bunn bey came calling. Further news say that when Lloyd Moore returned from her visit to Elizabeth’s that certain. Sunday night she looked like a wreck! What magic power draws Har- ofd to Chowan every time Elsie writes him a letter? And why does she read his letters just to get an inspiration to go to Cooking Clais?- Have Maxine Fillyaw’s ideals of last year about “Prince Charming” changed? Anyway, she dated Bill Baughn the other night. “Kink” have you and Smith heard from the waste basket? Or from State? LITTLE JOURNEYS IN PALESTINE By JOHN H. BUNN From Nazareth to Tiberias Continued Many tkings of great import ance happened in this very spot (around the Sea of Galilee). Here the Centurian’s servant was heal ed. the leper cleansed, Peter’s wife’s mother was healed, the tempest stilled, and the devils driven out of the two demon pos sessed men. To get a full appre ciation of this scene, read that wonderful 8th chapter of Mat thew. On the plains between the Sea of Galilee and Capernaum the five thousand were seated in groups, and Jesus fed them all with five loaves and two fishss. The ministry of Jesus is so full on incidents at this place we can not name them all. We will now retrace some of our steps in a little side journey from Tiberias. We go back to Naih and Endor and then to Bethshaan near the mouth of the valley of Jezreal. Titmoses, of Egypt, came this way and captur ed Bethshaan in 1500 B. C. Saul’s body and his three sons were hanged on the wall of Beth-shaan in the temple of Asteroth. The record of this tragedy is recorded in I Samuel 31:8-13. Friends of Saul, the first King of Israel, came from J(*esh Gilead from the east side of the Jordan, took his body down and carried it back for burial. Just a few miles from this place Gideon defeated 5ihe Midianites. The story is told in the 7th chapter of the Judges Leaving the black hills of Gil- boah where the tragedic death of Lloyd Moore and Pat Cook find Elizabeth Brett’s home mighty at tractive. Lately they’ve paid Lib several visits, and I think Lloyd made considerable ad—‘“Vance.” Ruby Edens went too. I wonder what “fur”? Seymour’s new part in her hair must work miracles. Anyway, an “old flame” of her’s popped up the other night. You old students might know this gallant young chap who hails from Woodland. Incidently, he’s red-headed. I guess Lou Wilson is about sick of muddy roads. Maybe Mr. Britt had better try riding a horse. Swannie, what are you doing with such a sore mouth? Neal, you’d better come down and look after your interests at i Chowan. j ' I Johnny sent Maxine a sweater. [ I haven’t seen it, but it must be grand. Or*is it love? Speaking of old “Flames”, do any of Louise Lassiter’s friends know Raymond Talton? Well, I heard that she heard that a friend of hers said Raymond said he was anxiqus to see Louise.” Some of the students are not so , eager to work (?) in the Library , now. i St. Valentine must be recovering | from the depression. He gave away an awful lot of hearts. Really, Chowan doesn’t know what an inestimable value She has been in the Male Chorus. Right now I’m being serenaded by “Home on The Range.” Some of our campus heroes of the “Wide open faces” must be homesick. ^ O my— our Don Juan has changed again! In other words, I told H. L. the other day I’d get him special permission to visit the tea-room. And I said, “it’s right next door to Janice Jenkins;” But he declared that wouldn’t do, and wanted me to see what I could do to move the Tea-Room in Margaret Turner’s room. Some people are never satisfied. From the preparations and plans I’ve been seeing and hearing, the Chowan “femmes” are going to shine on Society Day. More new evening dresses! My worthy visitor of the mo ment (Kink Vann) wants me to run a want ad column in the Chowanian. She wants nothing less than a man—^for Society Day and the Junior-Senior. (Most any body is eligible). The gang sang “Happy Birth day” to George Washington on the 22nd. and was Lou Wilson holding her breath? Goodness gracious, the weath er has fooled me again. Now in stead of being a bear I’ll have to be a lamb. Guess I’d better quit writing and decide just ^ SCIENCE CLUB UOl IB^ josri The Mitchell-Lee romance seems fo be going along at the same rate lately. Maybe the spring will make a difference. So finally Fortune smiled on the romantically - inclined Chowan lads and lassies and the result— Sunday afternoon dates! Now MEETING The Liggett Science Club, which was organized in January, held its first meeting February 17. at 7 o’clock, in the Science building. The purpose of the club is to search for, furthef, and defend scientific truth. The Chemistry class constitutes the Charter mem bers. However, plans have been made to invite many new mem bers into the club, and the names of the new members were voted upon. The invitation for these members was also planned. It was decided that the club should be an honorary one and that all . should make an aveage of 80 on their work. The theme of the program was Progress of Different phases of science. The meetinf was opened by prayer by Ruby Lee Modlin. After the constitution of the club had been read, Clinton Piland gave a talk on “Advancement in Science,” and Edna Mae Edwar^ gave a talk on “Advancement in Psychology”. The officers elected were as fol lows: President, Florence Ward; vice president, Marjorie Mitchell, secretary Clinton Piland; treasur er, Jean Holloman; and reporter, Elsie Taylor.
