Senior Class History Our class has readied its goal after liaviiig been repealeilly added t(i and subtraeted from. 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
