Of its nine |ireseiit nieiubers (inly 1 v(i were Freshmen together four years ago. Eaeli of us, iiowever, lias been through the mill, and we are all ou a sutfieient level of sympathy to reeount with united hearts tlie ups anil downs of our college career. From the Ijeginning we have striven each year to live up to the principles eml)odied in our name. No Freshmen could have I ii fresher than we. When the mighty Sojjhs put us to l)ed, soon after our ai-rival at Chowan, we little ones abl.v retaliated by giving them the paddling which they .justly deserved. Throughout this year of our infancy we were a constant source of embarrass- ment, if not terror, to the Sophomores and Seniors. Such indignities as leaving them no alternative but to wear their every day shoes to. church, or, securing them behind locked dooi-s while we ate a double share of breakfast, were eonnnonly inflicted ujion these worthies. And, as for their liohling a class meeting undisturbed — it was simply out of tiie ipiestion! We came back the second year with a wise determination to show our successors their jilace as newcomers in college. Puffed up with imjiortanee, we assured them that certain procedures were dangerous to the health of youngsters so unskilled in the wa.vs of college life. lany were the trials of the Freshmen that year. If they planned a picnic, it was known to us before the guest-of-honor even dreamed of it. Once when they were making cakes for the purpose of entertaining the Juniors, somehow or other, an overmeasure of salt got into the batter. To their credit, however, we must sa.y that the.v bravely ate it all and quenched their wrath with an extra supply of water. On another occasion, we Sophomores en.ioyed a stolen delight, some cheese straws ])repared by tlie Juniors for the palates of the Freshmen. As faithful allies of our sister class we frequentl.y guarded the crow ' s nest while the Seniors held their councils there, thereby preventing our escapach-s of the pre- ceding year from being repeated by the new Freshmen. During our Junior year we, as jirospective Sen ' ors, conducted oui ' selves with budding dignity. The credit foi- our remarkable cahnness, I fear, how- ever, must be shared by IMiss Esther Wynn, who was in charge of the College last year. Her all-seeing eye had a peculiarly soothing effect upon our mis- chievous natures. The one big event of the year was the Juiiior-Senior reception to which every college stiulent looks forw ard longingly. Vain Illusion, liow like a shadow: sought, chased and grasped, it vanished into nothing 1 After weeks of thought and worry, then da.vs of labor and more worry, the final catastrophe came in the comjilete failure of our attempt to show-off when we entertained the Senior Class. All seven members of the Junior Class returned this year for the final bout. Besides these, we had two additions to our band. We are proud of our last year. Chowan will mean more to us in the future for our having 13 seen ill the glory of her new raiment. The wonderful improvements effected in building and equipment, under the supervision of our beloved new President will greatly supplement our memory of our Alma Mater. In accordance with the new atmosphere of the place, we have borne ourselves with all the dignity at our command. As a side-line, our class has ( ' (intributed toward the finances of the Annual by presenting at the College and three neighboring towns two amateur plays. For a graduating present to ourselves, we are planning a trip to Washington, D. C, to be made after commencement, under the chaperonage of President and ' Sim. Vann. As the Senior Class of l!t21, we go forth from this institution with a fond farewell to the Past, and a hearty greeting to the future. We feel that any failure on our part to cope with the world will be due to a lacking in our original outtit, and not to any fault in our training. The brightest of hopes accompany us all as we cross the threshold to full and responsible womanhood. — Historian. 14 CI ass r oem A NEW PERFECT DAY We have conie to the end of our journey here, And we look Imek over tlie way ; All the tests and exams we stood in fear While exempts made our spirits gay. Do you think what the end of tiiese perfeet years Can mean to vis Seniors, nine? We tlien thought it only a vale of tears, But bright it s joys now shine. We ' ve reached on this, our Comineneement Day, Tlie top of the ladder stee]). And we take the vow this day in May We ' ll all our ideals keep. Our dear Alma Mater ' s memory true Will never in fond hearts faxle. And through our lives with pride we ' ll view Tlic |)atli to the goal we ' ve made. —Poet 35 In AAemoriam To P5Y Mascot CU s ' 2f March 7, if i 16 srsiE .Mc(;LAr(iiiAN I!i;ktt, Wiiitnii, N. ( ' . I!.

In more than one respect she is a remarkable character, particularly in that she has the ability to learn without studying. Sue has the reputation of being perfectly original and is always brinuning full with new ideas which extend all the way from the solution of Phy- sics problems to the control of Cupid ' s Ar- rows, the truth of the latter being in daily evidence. In truth, she is never seen with- out her twin , namely, Red Turnley, who has for Sue as Sue for her a jieculiar magnetism. Po.ssessed of an invincible de- termination she is always sure to accomplish what she has once begun. After taking into consideration every quality, we pronounce Svie one of the most capable, admirable, and brilliant members of the Class of ' 21. 17 DOKIS I ' AKKf K ( ' IIITTY, I ' iaiio hirfreesboro, N.

From the e.xtensive range of her voice (on the halls) one wonld .judge that Enrico Caruso or Amc- lita Galli-Curci had arrived on the scene. At will Doris can make the most extraordinary gyrations, now impersonating ilary Pickford. now Irene Castle. Her super-alnnidance of energy finds expression in other fields, how- ever, for she is an accomjilished pianist and has spent much time and anxiety in prepar ing for her recital. Contrary to the usual disposition of the oidy chihl, Doris is aiiiialilc and ambitious. 18 tiieoIjINDa euzelta kaiM;V, r.. a. HaleiRh, X. C ' ■ Ve undcrstaiul her by her sight.

Her practical, resourceful brain show her to be a born leader. Theo is a maid of forceful personality whose fixed opinions command the respect of her class-mates. Her favorite study is English and she gives promise of being another ' Henry in short story writ- ing. She knows no such word as failure. In any task, whatever, success is always hers. With her queenly bearing, sweet disposition, and lofty manner she holds a large place in the hearts of the faculty and fellow-students. 19 NETTIE WORRELL EVANS, Piano Murfreesboro, N. C.

Where there is fun and mischief abroad she is ahva.ys present. Her eagle eyes never fail to detect the secret schemes of the under classmen and she is equally alert in the matter of originating and executing stunts of her own class. She doesn ' t hesitate to ascend the tower ((i5 feet high) in order to establish our class banner, any more than she would refrain from paddling an unruly Freshman. Aside from these facts, Nettie is equall.y energetic and capable both on the athletic field and in the class room. In her nuisical career she has done credit both to herself and to her Alma .Mater. 20 KTIIEL : IAREE FREEMAN, 15. A. Colcraiii, N. C.

Ethel ' s all-round capaiiility is provetl liy the various trusts connnitted to her during her college course. As President of our Student Government Association she has held the re- S])ect and esteem of the entii ' e student liody. In fact, we regard her as the l)ack-bone of our class. Unlike most studious girls, she is the only member of our cla.ss who has had the op- ])ortunity of entertaining in Chowan ' s renovated parlor this year. This fact goes to prove her wonderful ability to win the admira- tion and perhaps 1 of more than tiie in- mates of Chowan. 21 lU ' TII GERALDINE FREE EAN. B. A. Colerain, N. C.

Kuth is one of the most brilliant members of our class, especially in psychology. She always has a psychological answer ready for any query. Aside from this hobby, her next greatest interest lies in the field of Modern Art and Poetry. We think she makes an excellent critic, since she still holds that po- .sition with one Modern Artist after two years of service. In addition to these inter- ests, we find her among those who reach the highest round in the ladder of success in all other fields of knowledge. Along with her intellectual ability she has the power of win- ning and holding tlie esteem, love and friend- ship of both student body and faculty. 22 EVA GERTRUDE GARY, Voico JIurfrpesl)()ro, N. ( .

Eva is an artistic nature, her soul tintling expression in botii song and poetry. She waxes poetical at the slightest provocation, and thereby never fails to amuse herself as well as her class-mates. But when she ap- pears on the stage, her poems pale into insig- nifieanee. ller voice, like herself, is gentle, sweet and delightful. Eva manifests a deep interest in political affairs, thus showing that at heart she is a suffragist — we expect great things of her. 23 MAEY ETTA KINSEY, Piano Coiiijoek, N. C.

This modest girl has meant much to her Alma ]Mater as well as to her class-mates. She possesses every quality which constitutes the make-up of a refined, dignified, and vir- tuous character. Mary lias made herself felt ill every thing she has undertaken, he it in the Literary Society, Y. W. A. or her daily tasks. Especially is she talented in piano. We call her The IMusiciau of the student body and every one considers it a treat to hear her play. The music seems to come di- rectly from her soul to her finger tips. How well those fingers heed the commands of lier soul. S; .-- . iX 24 .AlAHY (JKORGIE PARKER, li. A. ilurfrcoshoro, N.

For traveling in the by-ways and hedges of thought .Mary can ' t he lieaten. She can always furnisii some self-evident, l)ut pre- viously unnoticed idea to her classes. The manner in which she expresses hei-self never fails to bring a smile. To every duty, how- ever trivial, during her college career, Mary has been faithful. One never sees her stroll- ing on the campus or shouldering her tennis racket for a game until first her lessons are prepared and the regular epistle to Jim is ready for mailing. Along with her stu- dious nature, .she is blessed with a sunny dis- position and her .jolly laugh has oftimes l)een instrumental in dispelling the gloomy hours of her classmates. Witii tliis admirable spirit of endeavor and truth to iu ' rself we are glad to send her forth as a worthy representative of her Alma Vlater. 25 26 27 Junior History For three long years, we ' ve stood the test, This Junior class of three, And it ' s up to you, to guess the rest Of this Junior class of three. Together we ' ve worked to reach (lur aini. This Junior class of three, Till with pride and fame we ' ve won a name. This Junior class of three. We once were known as tlie Freslimen green In the year 191S. And a perter liuncji was never seen Than tlie Freshman of ' IS; For we even dared to entertain The big-headed Sophomores keen. To serve our class they did not deign I And hear how they showed their spleen: The moon was .shining bright one night, A liay ride did we give. Wlien we returned it was to tight ; The Sophomores could not live! For when we started our cake to eat We found it full of salt, And our anger then reached fever heat ; We knew ' twas the Sophomores fault ! In our Soph year, in number small. Three of us held the fort ; Our aspirations did not fall And our Seniors gave support. That mother class we ' ll not forget, That was so good to ns. Each Senior chose a Sophomore pet. Our bond was cemented thus. Now, at last our Sopii year jiast, A motlier class are we. We ' ve stored up knowledge l)roa(l and vast. Afar shines our degree. A hou.sehold artist of .skill is Hun. And Pearl the artist to be, While Jo as athlete high place has won — An all-round class, you see. And though insignificant Juniors we ' re callci Wi ll yet win our A. It.

The rules of So])hs are tommyrot ! Thanksgiving Day it was decreed Fresh ' should be pinned where all could read. Instead a Sophomore had the honor And a lively Freshman was the donor. The Sophomores began the .iob Of dressing us in suitable garb; Silk hose they said, were quite foi-biddcn. Hut we ' d not bo liy Soiihs o ' erridden! We ' ll take tlie rein the coming year And give the Freshman cause for fear; We ' ll train them up, take an early start, Not wait till they ' re old and think they are smart. Then too we ' ll give them sensible rules. Not act as if handling a lot of nuiles. In other words, we ' ll be merciful and .just, Not try to humble them into the dust. As Juniors we ' ll prevent the i)listers The So])homores will try to give our sisters. We ' ll give them our motto and say Be Bold, We ' ll give them our colors, our Blue and our Oold. And when at last we ' re Seniors wise We ' ll still our Freshman ideals ]irize; And one thing certain, we ' ll feel no shame Because as Freshmen we were uame. —22. 40 ( EMEVIEVE TAVLOU SOPHOMORE MINNIE.

But what is a whole day of plain daylight — fair with its tables of needlework and canned goods, its array of ]iure-l)red horses and full-bloodeil Plynioutli Rocks, in coinjiarison to one romantic and ecstatic hour at night? Under the glamour of the twinkling lights the merry-go-round, the slur and jerk of the Whip, and the uii-aiid-ai-ound of th( Fei ' ris Wheel, while the band pla.ys, Whisiici ' and tell nie that you love me, ' produce a thrill niikiiowii to the young heart by day. Yes, ' continued ] Iiss Wooten. the Fai ulty has carefully considei ' ed the pros and cons of your petition, and 1 want to exjilain to you why we eannot grant it. There was ;dmost a jar of relaxation throuulioul the room as the u-irls faces fell, We consider it not advisable for Chowan College to be rejiresented at the usual night performance of a Fair Cai-nival. I think that when you meditate upon the matter, you will see wliv we forbid youi ' going, and 1liat tli( reasons are real ones. Heartless and triumphant the words fell. Of all the crest-fallen expressions, surely the most forlorn was that of Nellie Wooten, tlie younger sister of the lady, principal. With tlie exception of their present contrasted expressions, the face and figure of one sister was an almost exact counterpart of that of the other. JMiss Wooten ' s superiority of eight years did not make her black hair one wiiit le.ss glossy than that of eighteen-year- old Nellie, nor did it lessen the brillianc.v of her dark eyes. In fact, the .younger rather than the older ] Iiss Wooten. Iiore the school-teacher ' s tag — tortoise-rimmed spectacles. As they filed out of Chapel with funeral step, Xellie whispered petulantly to her elbow neighbor: •■John Brown it 1 Now I ' ve got to call Joe and change all our plans. I know si.ster is at the Itottom of it all, for she has .said all tlie time that she did not want me to go. She went directly to the telephone olTicc and called her beau-of-the-moment, Joe Banks. 58 Is that Joe?— Tliis is Nellie. T ' lii sri mad, I don ' t know what to do. We can ' t go to the Fair ne.xt week, exeept one old afternoon like we did last year. Sister What? Do you mean it? Is anyone listening at you? — I ' ve a good mind to risk it . Oh, won ' t it he .jolly ! Yes, I ' d much rather go Thursday night, so we ean see the fireworks. All right, I ' ll be out there and while you deliver a package or whatever you do, I 11 be stowing myself away in the car to escape curious eyes.— Well, dei)end on me and remember that ' ' mum is the word. Goodbye. Tuesday afternoon while Joe and his father were chatting with a loiteruig cu.stomer in their store, the teleplK.ne bell tinkled. Mr. Banks beuig nearer, answered its call. After a brief conversation he turned and spoke ui .lestnig tone to his son. Got ahead of von once. Old Hoy. 1 think 1 save time tor tli. ' ( oHe c when I instead of yon, talk to your girl. Miss Nellie wants a pound ot chocolate almonds, a box of crackers and a bottle of_ pickles. You ' d better hx them up and deliver them now. You know girls don t like to wait. And fix them up he did. In addition to the required artieh ' s, however, Joe inclosed in the package one of his cards bearing this message in pencil : I ' ve learned that we will have to go Wednesday night instead of Thursday. ] Ieet me at the parking place as before planned. Finding no one in the college hall, he wrote tiie one name, Wooten, on the bundle and left it in a chair for the owner to find. Ilai.Dilv for the conspirators, sunny Wednesday ushered in a clear moon- less nigh ' A the honk! honk! of Joe ' s Ford broke the solitude of the College camous a silent figure glided swiftly from the shadow of an evergreen shrub near ' i; Wain. ' In .fassing Joe, as he strode brazenly toward the front door with a parcel for delivery, the figure paused. It ' s all right, hurry back, it whispered. As the sneaking much-becloaked girl approached the car, muffled voices accosted her from the back seat. Is that you Nell? Of course you yoiingst( rs had to be chaperoned, so William and I are going, too! Oh ' she exclaimed in a low but relieved tone, as she took her place on the front seat It ' s William and Fanny, isn ' t it ? I was so frightened because, when you first spoke, I thought that some of the girls up here had found out and were kidding me. Within a few minutes, Joe was at the wheel, and they were speeding out of Murfreesboro. Scarcely a word was spoken until they were out of town and were gliding along the highway to Winton. Then Joe volunteered a remark as he glanced admiringly at the face peering at him from under the softly droop- ing hat of his companion. Nell, you ' re stunning in that hat. It goes so well with your coat. Do you remember ' the first time you wore it, yes when we went to the association to hear the death knell of Old Chowan when the trustees were so bent on moving it? •■Well, 1 recl.oii. was the High School reply of the college Freshman. I wish you had left off those goggles tliough. You look too much like a school marm with spectacles Nell. I know it, but if I had ridden in this wind witiiout them my red eyes would have betrayed me tomorrow. 59 They had gone only about seven of the t v( Ive miles to the Pair Grounds, when an enlightening discussion of elder sisters, by Joe, was curtailed by a sudden choking and sputtering of the car. After a few spasmodic jerks and shivers, young Henry refused to render further service to the run-a-ways. With dis- gusted movements the two boys got ' out and made a thorough examination of the engine. They tightened a few screws and endeavored to crank up again. The crank, however, would not crank. Cars began to roll by, some leisurely, some rapidly : but all seemed bent upon their own errand — going to the Fair. The boys worked heroicly, seeking some clue to the strange non-procedure of the Ford, while the girls giggled up their sleeves when the laborers gave vent to their exasperated feelings. About nine o ' clock. William made the marvelous discovery that the gas supply was entirely exhausted. Well, well, what a fool I am! ejaculated Joe, as the signiticance of the discovery dawned upon him. I drove the car out with the intention of tilling the tank when something else called my attention. When I went back to the car, I drove off supposing that I had got the gasoline. I guess we are in for it now, said Fannie, resignedly, because I heard today that the ' phone line is down at two or three places between .Murfrees- boro and Winton. And as absorbed as every motorist seems in his own interests tonight, I supjiose day-break will find us sitting here. ■ Oh, for goodness sake, let ' s hojie not I exclaimed the other uirl, iiorri- fied. So there they stayed liour after hour — so it seemed. Joe produced a box of candy which he had brought for Nell. They ate and talked and then talked and ate. There was no light visible from any house. Finally the chill night air so penetrated their clothing, in spite of heavy wraps, tiuit they ])i-omciiaded up and down the road, endeavoring to keep warm. Sometime after Joe found, by the aid of a matcli, that liis watch registered ten-forty-five, the lights from the first car returning from Winton came into view. Surely, now, it would have time to incpiire about the way-farers by his side of the read, but alas ! it passed without so much as lessening speed for a moment. Pretty soon, however, another came so near miming into the lightless Ford that it was forced to check its si)eed, and, consequently, it stojiped to proffer aid. All we aslv, said Joe, is that you eitlu ' r give us enough gas, or tow us into .Murfreesboro. We ' ve lieen out here so long that the novelty of tlie situa- tion has become stale. Hitched to the other car, the Ford was soon pulled into a garage. There the two couples separated, Joe and his companion walking rapidly toward the college. When they reached the gate the girl paused under the big arc light. Joe, I ' ve had a very pleasant and instructive evening. I guess I had better go the rest of the way alone. With that sudden remark, she discarded her glasses and hat and turned her face to the light. Before the astounded boy stood Miss Wooten, the lady jn-ineipal. The things that Nell ordered from the store yesterday were for me. She has not seen your note. Goodnight. Not until she was well out of the light did Miss Wooten stop running. Then looking backward she beheld Joe, standing hat-in-hand, with lower jaw drooped, gazing at the spot where she had been. Marvelous to say, the episode never leaked out. Nor did Nell go to the Fair, for Joe having a dreadful cold, was coiiMiied to his I ' oom for tlie re- mainder of tlie week. 60 61 DORIS CHITTV BE.R.HICE. MATMEWS.
