ANNIE ELIZABETH BARNACASCEL. B. A. MURFREESBORO, N. C. ALATHENIAN A merru heart cloelh gooJ like mct icine. He of best She is always busy, except on rare occasions, when she dehghts in teasing. Annie Lizzie, as she is called by the girls, is a little bunch of everything compressed into nothing. She can talk as fast and as much as the next one; and usually, when she ceases something has been said. She stands second to none in her classes; she can solve a geometrical theorem, and the Hale. Electrician. problem both at the same lime. Her faithfulness to duty, and obedience to all rules, give her a likeness to the Minute Men of the Revolution. She is always at her post of duty — ready at a minute ' s notice. Though undecided as to her life work, we predict a most prosperous career for her in whatever she undertakes.

vSvjnior c ' l- ' VS s KUcoi ' y HE first event for Chowan College F reshmen! In the year 1911, an event of great importance took place m the history of Chowan College; namely, the entrance of the Class of 1915. This year everything dates directly back to that wonderful day — September 10, 1911. After reaching the destination of our long-anticipated journey, twelve guileless little maids were ushered into the walls of Chowan, and destined to remain there for four long years, enduring both pleasures and toils beyond all description. In our Freshman year, notwithstanding the fact that we were very weak, as a result of our heroic efforts to escape the twenty days ' flood, which began September the eighteenth and lasted through October the eighth (during which time salt poured in torrents from every nook and corner), we broke all records of preceding Classes, being the first to organize in peace. For that reason alone, we should go down in history as a wonderful Class. So marked was the brilliancy of this Class, that many times we were ushered into the presence of a waiting Faculty, to solve difficult problems that arose during the year. Our influence was felt from the beginning throughout the entire school, especially by the Sophs, who derived such unlimited pleasure from presenting us with a dish of salt Thanksgiving Day, when we had been given a table of our own in order that our stately appearance might be more pronounced. We merely considered them the most considerate of neighbors, since Bartel had accidentally turned the salt-box over the morning before. At the rapid rate we were going, the Faculty feared we would finish our four years ' course within two, and hence insisted that we withdraw to a shady nook, to meditate theren until the fall of 1912 should arrive. After spending some time contemplating how we should entertain the Freshies who would enter Chowan in 1912, as guests of the wonderful Sophomores, we returned to assume our new duties. The Freshmen of this year were royally treated in every way. We registered for the work of 1913, each girl leaving the office with the motto Know-All Girls imprinted upon her brow. Much to our sorrow, several of our girls had left us; but one enthusiastic member was added to our list. Passing all of our examinations safely, some of us received demerits for tardiness, after the Christmas recess. (How manl) remember it?) Something great! The photographer comes, takes our pictures, and into the Annual we go! Then we were on the road to real d stinction. This was a year of hard work, accomplished after a great struggle; but in May, 1913, we found we were really a dignified Cla s of Juniors. Tired were our hearts and weary our brains, for the one held much experience, the other much knowledge. September found us reassembled within the dear old walls — the majority of us, at least; several of our number had escaped, in order to avoid the great responsibiLlies of the dreaded year. Organized we soon were, and began our new year with many wild dreams and schemes. Examinations, and the terrible excitement of the dreaded uprising, were safely passed. Everyone was delighted; one more flight of steps to ascend, and then Senior. ly would be inscribed upon our Class banner.
