The cast, presenting the play from
the stage in the auditorium, showed
talent in portraying the different
charactrs.
BOYS BASKETBALL
The inter-county schedule opened
Friday, February 9, when the POGO
moke five played Snow Hill and car
ried away the laurels. The county
seaters were completely out Of stride,
but the excellent playing of Ray
Mount was solely responsible for
making it a very tight game. His
playing was exceptionally commend
able as he made 20 of our "a points
and played an air-tight game as a
defensive man. Hudson was out of
the lineup but hopes to be seen in
the games to come. The final score
was 27-24.
LIBRARY CLUB NEWS

JUNIOR DRAMATIC SOCIETY
The fourth meeting of the Junior
Dramatic Society was held on jan
uary 81, 1910, Leroy Hastings pre-
siding. The secretary gave her re-
port. AS there was no old or new
business, the meeting was turned over
to our program chairman for the
month, Wynnie Butler, who read a
one-act play from new book entitled
"The Best One-Act Plays Of 1888"
by Margaret Mayoraga.
The title Of the play was "Alma
Mater" by Paul Green. It deals with
the life Of college students. Johnny
Meacham is football player. Park
er, Evans, Mitchell, Piggs, and How
ard are his friends. AS Johnny re-
turns from the field, the band plays
"Alma Mater, the college song.
Meanwhile, Parker and the other boys
are preparing to coach Johnny on
some of Shakespeare's plays, to help
him pass the quiz the next day. They
try to help him that night, but he
appeared to have his mind only on
foot ball. They decide to give up
when they hear voices in the hall.
Students of the college had come to
congratulate Johnny. Parker knew
something had to be done to keep
Johnny from this mob so that they
could help him pass the Shapespeare
quiz the next day. Parker told the
boys to pretend that Johnny had been
hurt during the game. They carried
Johnny out to spend the next week
in the college infirmary so he could
study for the Shakespeare quiz. At
ter they had gone, the janitor enter
ed to tidy up the room.
THE SOPHOMORE LITERARY

The Sophomore Literary Society

citement, not knowing who would be
victorious. The game was fast and
hard fought. At the end of the first
quarter the score stood 20 in Snow
Hills favor. At the half Pocomoke
was leading and kept ahead for the
rest of the game. When the last
whistle blew the score stood 1912 in
favor of Pocomoke. Although we
lost our first game we hope to win
in the future.
Reversal of Usual Order for IL Fair
Pupils And Nine Aproned Youth Call
ed Success; No Reports of Indigestion
From Males Pies
In preparation for future years,
perhaps, when their mates take two
weeks off for a visit with their moth
ers-in-law, nine male students of the
Snow Hill High School are mastering
the culinary art of making pies and
other delicacies in the Home Eco
nomics Department of the Worcester
county seat institution here.
And not to be outdone, II girls,
who ordinarily would be presiding
over the baking ovens, are today busy
with saw and hammer in the schools
manual arts department, turning out
book ends, stools and lamps.
To date the experiment has met
with success, after four weeks of
demonstration. No reports of indi-
gestion have emanated from the
schools kitchen nor has it been re-
corded that one handmade stool has
failed to bear the weight of the
schools heaviest teacher.
Miss Rebecca Lee Bennett, teacher
of the home economics class, is high.
ly elated at the success of piemakine
by her nine boys. And Clarence j
Beauchamp, instructor in Manua
arts, is equally proud of the work
manship displayed by his class of Il
girls.
The modern trend in teaching boy
to cook and girls to do carpentr!
work at the Snow Hill High Schoo
has the full support of the facult!
The II high school girls now en-
rolled in the Manual Arts Depart
ment are:
Betty Bradford, Barbara Brown
Harriet Ruth Cherrix, Norma Lo1
Hall, Margaret Holloway, Alice Pow
ell, Sarah Riley, Ellen Sirman, Doro
thy Tyndall, Myrtle Wilmer and Jea1
Pusey.
The nine boys, who are fast becom
ing perfect chefs, are: Fowler Cot
tingham, Marion Dashiell, Sherwoo'
Ferris, Avery Gordy, Tommy Jones
Paul McSheffrey, Clifton Mock, Ran
dolph Taylor and Marvin Tyndall.

Thalia, the main character, has al
excellent voice, but her mother thinks

Another character, Casper Boris, {
thirteen-year-old violinist, is very
conceited. Thalia tries her best tt

THE STATE FLAG

North Carolina is one OF the
most interesting and historic
states in the union, it is also one
of the most progressive. From
time to time this paper will carry
interesting information regarding
the state, for the benefit of STU
dents as we'll as other readers.
This week the history of the state
flag is given.
The present State flag is not
the first which North Carolina
has had. The constitutional con-
vention of 1861 declared secession
from the Union and adopted what
it termed a Estate flag" This was
used until 1885. On May 20, 1861
Colonel John D. Whitford, a
member of the Convention from
Craven County, introduced 'the
following ordinance, which was
passed and referred to a select
committee of seven:
"Be it ordained that the flag OF
this State shall be blue with a
white V thereon, and star, en-
circling which shall be the words
'Surgit Astrum, May 20, 1775'..
Colonel Whitford was made
chairman of the committee tc
which this ordinance was refer
red. The committe secured the aid
and advice of William Jar
Brown, an artist of Raleigh
Brown prepared and submitted E
model to the committe. This
model was adopted by the con,
vention on June %, 1861. The
Brown model was vastly diff.
ferent from that proposed by Co.
lionel Whitford. The State flag
adopted in 1861 is described ir

Jefferson School
Going Forward
Won Many Honors During the
Past Year, Planning
Ahead.

Many things have helped to
make this a very satisfactory
year for the Jefferson school. The
enrolment has continued to in
crease. An extra grade teacher
was added this year and the ave-
rage in high school for the first
seven months is enough to secure
an extra one in that department
for another year.
Various activities during the
year have won special attention.

Farming Notes

j. E. Fender, of Crumpler,
points out two permanent pas
ture fields on his farm. One Of
them has been lined and pros
plated and the other has not.
The grass on the field that has
been treated is green and the
other looks as dead as mid-win-
ter.
Mr.. Fender says: Besides graz
ing three weeks earlier and ap-
proximately that much later in
the fall, this field grazes at least
1-3 more cattle during the entire
season."
Mr.. Fender plans to lime and
phosphate all of his pasture land
