Rebecca McGlohon is a mem ber of the fourth generation of the McDowell family that has lived or has been vitally connected with Chowan College since its begin ning. Dr. Archibald McDowell, first president of Chowan, was the great-grandfather of Becky. Dr. McDowell was born near Cam den, South Carolina, and attend ed Wake Forest College.

North Carolina Chowan in 1848. He remained here for one year then, but later came back in 1855, serving as vice-presi dent, as Dr. Hooper was president. He was made president again in 1862 and held this office for 27 years. Dr. McDowell died in 1881. By his careful planning and through many sacrifices. Dr. Mc Dowell succeeded in keeping the doors of Chowan College open dur ing the Civil War. As well as taking an interest in the inside affairs of the school, Dr. McDowell was very anxious to beautify the campus. It is very interesting to know that every tree on the campus was set out under his direction; and obtaining a land scape gardener, he planned the campus as we have it today. Sure ly his noble services will long be remembered and his name cher ished by Chowan students. Miss Ruth McDowell (now Mrs. D. A. Day), daughter of Dr. Mc Dowell, is Rebecca’s grandmother. She was born at Wake Forest and brought to Chowan as a baby. She later attended the college and lived here for many years, always tak ing a keen interest in the Chowan affairs and ready and willing to help in any way possible. Miss Eunice McDowell, another daughter of Dr. McDowell, and Becky’s great aunt, was born at Chowan. She grew up here, at tended two other women’s col leges. She came to Chowan to teach Bible and Latin in 1920, and was made dean of women in 1925. She held this position for nine years. We are indebted to Miss Eunice McDowell for the Memorial Lib rary which we enjoy at Chowan today, as she was the one who started it. As a token of their love and appreciation for Miss McDow ell, and the wonderful work she did for Chowan, an honorary doc tor’s degree was conferred upon her by the people of Chowan about four years ago. She left Chowan in 1933. Little Becky’s mother, Mrs. W. A. McGlohon, daughter of Mrs. Day, was born in Murfreesboro, and has lived here most of her life. She also received her education at Chowan College, graduating in 1913. She has always taken an active part in the activities of the school, and rendered services when she could. Mrs. McGlohon moved to Morehead City, N. C., about eight years ago, but returned to Murfreesboro about four years ago, and has resided here since. Re becca’s father, Mr. W. A. Mc Glohon, is now business manager for the college. Becky was born in Morehead Our Congratulations —to Chowan College and the New President DR. R. R. McCULLOCH. Success and the Best is our sincerest wish. PASTIME THEATRE Shep Brinkley, Mgr. City, N. C., in 1928, and moved back to Murfreesboro when she was four years old. She now lives on the campus, being the only child living here in about ten years. She, therefore, is quite a “pet” among all. Rebecca is now eight years old. She has brown eyes and curly brown hair. She is a very beautiful little girl and has a brilliant mind which is truly characteristic of the McDowell family. GALLOPING GAELS SHOW FIGHTING SPIRIT The Galloping Gaels’ Basket ball team of Chowan College un der the coaching of Lemuel Lee- former Murfreesboro High School Coach, displayed good offensive and defensive work in the two previous games played and were rewarded victory tonight with the score 25-27 over Conway in a re turned game. The return game last night play ed in the Conway Gym was a close-fought battle with the lead in scoring changing several times. Led by Freeman and Piland th Gaels put on a scoring spree i the last half that couldn’t be checked by the opposing side. Martin and Flythe were the out standing stars of the Conway Quint. Prior to this, the Gaels lost a thriller to Conway, in the College Gym, February 11. Conway jump ed to a 60- lead in the first three minutes of play and were never tallied. In Chowan’s first basket ball game of the season which was with Jamesville, the Gaels lost a hard battle 18-33. Led to this without a Coach, Chowan held a five point lead at the first half, but when Ange, Jamesville’s for ward started rallying in the se cond half the boys knew no plays that could check the rally. Chowan boys team has started this season from the bottom, have been Ibeaten and liked it. Now with their Coach, Lemuel Lee, they have built a good defensive and offensive team, scorching for open dates.
