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.

Junior Prophecy When I was informed of the startling news that I was Prophetess of the Junior Class it took me some time to recover from the shock. However, I soon found that it would not do to take it in this way, since it was a very serious ques- tion, and must be taken seriously. In sheer desperation I threw myself on the window seat and thought, thought frantically, despairingly, ' til exhausted. With my head between my hands, I sat gazing down the vi.sta of Doric columns which shone white in the moonlight, until I almost could have believed myself in ancient (Sreece, especially when a form like that of a goddess glided towards me. Damsel, why in such dec]) thought? a voice said. Perhaps I may help you. I perceived that it was ninic itli( ' r than the nuich (le]ireciated Ca.ssandra, Pro]ihete,ss of the Greeks, who in her own day was destined never to be believed, hut whose words were true nevertheless. I felt apologetic for my long pause and answeretl l)reathlessly, Could you? Ah, please be so good as to tell me what the future holds in store for my illustrious classmates; or, rather, what they hold in store for the world. But you will not believe me, she said. We will, I replied. Just a hint of the future, I beg of you. Shall I give you a glimpse of them ten years hence? she asked. Just the idea, I replied. Mary Alston, she began, I see as director of music in one of the world ' s greatest institutions of learning, a place not so far distant. Ruth Lassiter I see, in the laud of elegant manners, pursuing her loved study of the French language. Ah! I see a multitude of chai-nied listeners. They clieer and throw flowers to Annie Sue Winborne, the gentle and learned pianist. In a magnificent art gallery in New York, behold a grand ]iainting, signed Nancy Benthall. Admiring ones gaze long, move on slowly, and return to look again. Two old men. Chase, methinks, and Sargent, talk excitedly. ' Without a doubt, ' I hear them say, ' women are coming to the front in the world, and Southern women too. ' Bruce Taylor — l)y ( ' upid ' s darts no longer Bruce Taylor — graces a beauti- ful city home. Each day witii a jjleasant smile she welcomes Dr. R. at the door.
