Junior Class History Tlie great event took place in the month of Septeniher in tiie year 1910 — the advent of thirty-three unsupliisticated Freshmen to aufjment the rolls and increase the cares of this institution. Certainly we had looked forward to this epoch in our lives with pleasure and a sense of trepidation, but when the usual spell of homesickness seized upon us we rememljered as we lifted up our voices and wept, that there never was nor ever would be any place in this world so sweet as home. Common sense, however, prevailed and we left oflf our dreaininp; of home and organized our class without molestation on the part of the Sophs, as we were such models of conduct that they probably considered that we needed nothing in the way of admonitions. Of course during the year we passed through all the little worries incident to our position, just as we had had measles, whooping cough, chickenpox, etc., in our child- hood days, but the year finally passed away and we found ourselves again in our long dreamed of homes for the vacation. When the school opened in the fall twenty of our number reported to become Sophomores for the year 1911; that was a glorious year — it always is; there is always an exultation peculiar to the Soph — a sense of superiority, and an inclination to indulge in mischievous pranks. We thought ourselves marvels of brilliancy, and arrogated to ourselves much wis- dom. Today we realize that we have passed this stage in our development and have, in this our .Junior year, entered upon a larger, broader life. There are now l)ut fifteen of our number and we are trying to develop a spirit worthy of true womanhood, and our purpose and endeavors are and will he to make our- selves worthy successors of that noble Class of Seniors that are now leaving Chowan College to take up the active duties of life. We know that next year we shall have some historical facts connected with our class that will be more worthy of recortl.
