CiodRciiK A. Hartley, Lucnlimi Swansboro, N. C. ' Many daughters hath done vii-tuously l)ut thou excellest them all. This sii ' l eanie to us from the Class of 1012, fdi ' her heatlh prevented her from finishing with them. We feel that their loss is our gain, since she is the brightest girl of all our college students. She is very jiersevering and ambitious and is loved 1) ' all who know her. Often she becomes blue and desiJondent, but is soon cheered by her many girls, especially by EUzabeth. Georgie is the musician of her cla.ss, having completed the music rcmr.se in 1011.

Eunice McDowell Day, Alalhininn Murfreesboro, N. C. None knew her but to love her, None knew her liut to |)raise. Eunice is the jcilly, (-urefree fjirl in cjur clus.s who needs tlo no more tlian .simply be. She is the (li ' iifflit of every prowd and communicates this delifjlit to all with her eyes, which have a certain bewitching mischief in them that is altogether invohnitary. If she has cares, no one knows it. She never worries over lessons for tomorrow, but iloes the best she can on them for today and for- gets the others until they come. Her favorite stvidy is English and, if you want to read a paper that would do justice to an older and more experi- enced person, read one which she has written. Eunice is friendly, good natured and sympathetic, a girl who is liked by all wlio know liei, .■md a general favorite. M. RIE SUSANN. H EvANS, LllCitlillll Murfreesboro, N. C. And o ' er that fair broad brow were wrought The intersected lines of thought. Marie is the quiet member of our class, but in manners only, for in work she is one of our Uveliest girls. She always knows her lessons and is a gen- eral favorite with the Faculty and student body and all with whom she comes in contact. Her cheery face and happy good nature have won for her a high place in our opinion. She is an unjiar- alleled e. ample of truth, kindness, love, obedience. As she goes from us with a clean record, let us all hope that she will have a future r-rnwiicd with glorious success.

History of the Senior Class And it. came to pass in the year of our Lord one thousantl nine hundred and nine, when the sun lay heavily upon the land, that one hundred maidens from the great State of North Carolina were summoned to forsake their homes and hasten to refill the halls of Chowan Baptist Female Institute. Be it known that among those who obeyed the aforesaid summons there arose and came twenty- two unpolished jewels who earned the reputation of being the original unsalted, fresh Freshmen of the institution. The most honorable President of tlie C. B. F. Institute showed himself to be a most skilful lapidary, and wonderful changes were wrought in these precious bits of humanity, for they were found fit to sparkle in the sacred precincts of the Sophomore department of the new Chowan College. It would be futile to record the wonderful changes that took place in these maidens who had ventured from home and fireside to obey the call before mentioned. Only thirteen survived the polishing process and were found worthy to meet the requirements of the Junior Class. There they accidentally discovered that there was something to learn in life, and that they could learn. This latter bit of knowledge they at once proceeded to put into practice. They came twelve strong to the Senior Class when the autumn leaves began to paint the landscape. Their principal work since that time had been expended in studying History of Education and the art of Repressing Exuberance of Spirit. The only discouragement that weighed upon them was the discovery that their seemingly inexhaustible supply of dignity, incident to their Sophomoric age, had actually become exhausted and that essays and other duties of like char- acter loomed high on the horizon and that there was a species of dismay in the hearts of the Faculty as to the results. And now as these adventurers stand before the silent and closed doors of the future and look back upon the four years of the past, they reaUze that only the first volume of their history has been written and that ' the real, actual work of life lies before, and a larger and fuller volume must now be entered upon. So pray for us that we may ever have every page written in deeds worthy of record. Historian.
