Each girl added to her knowledge Chowan Life — so hard to find. First, there comes into my memory, A dancing, singing, brown-eyed las Who, you ask, disturbs my revcry? Why, Moella, need you ask? Following her, there comes another, Whose place is very hard to fill; A high light in Expression — rather; Yes, she ' ll always be a Jewell. And there ' s Marietta Bridger. I believe she read Shakespea Just loved Hamlet, I remer Something I thought very . There was Madge who chi.Mimed Thelma — Siamese twins I always say. Brunette Cooper and Blond Draper — It just happened to be that way. Then I think of Hazel Griffin; Had a rep up all her own. Intellectual — No bluffin ' ! Some dav she ' ll be widelv known. Flora Mae entered as a Senior — But she ' s loyal, I ' ll tell you; Chowanoka ' s chief editor — That shows she ' s a worker, too. As my thoughts keep on a rambling Around days I can ' t bring back, Into ,(here comes a scrambling, The busy bee — Mrs. Clara Mac. But of all these fourteen Seniors, f nlv one was brave enough .- ' nath as her major — ■sjie Mae could work that stuff. Nancy Parker was our songbird; Seems as though her voice I hear, As she ' d go upon that last word. Ring it out so sweet and clear. Tell you of Souter do I hear? The student council president. Most popular girl, ' tis very clear That uirely she was provident. Ob ' ' osalie! dear R salie, J ou ruly loved, I knew it. And who it was I plainly see.

These girls in no respect differed from the usual class of green, fresh, and timid freshies, stepping forth into the realms of college. After the had organized themselves into a class and elected their officers, they became more daring. They stuck to- gi ' ther through tlie ordeal of sophomore week, and came out with their class spirit strengthened, (ireen and w hite, because they were considered ery appropriate for freshmen, were selected as class colors; and the motto, Be Square, was adopted. Dining the summer months intervening between freshman and sophomore years, many improvements were made at the college. The building was enlarged to meet the increasing demand for space, and an auditorium with seating capacity of eight hundred, a gymnasium, swimming pool, music studios, and ' ' - rmitory were added. Resides these material improvements, Chowan, under the leadership of the newly- inaugurated president, Dr. Charles P. Weaver, raised her academic standing. Dr. Weaver assumed the presidency on July i, 1923, and set for Chowan the goal of becoming the greatest little woman ' s college in the world. Largely through the influence of Dr. Weaver, the fortnightly newspaper. Tin Chowanian. was founded. The first issue of this paper appeared September 27, 1923. Not only have members of the Class of ' 26 contributed from time to time to the columns of this paper, but several have served on the editorial stafT. One of the most outstanding events, in the sophomore year was the Diamond Pageant, given October l l, 1923, to celebrate the seventy-fifth birthday of the college. This pageant illustrated symbolically the progress of Christian Education in o ei- coming Ignorance and Superstition; in particular it showed the widespread Christian influence which Chowan had exerted in Eastern Carolina duruig three generation.s. Several important roles in the pageant were taken by members of the Class of ' 26, notably that of Christianity. The most important achievement of the year (192 ' as the enlargement of the library to meet the requirements for a standard c .. was accomplished through the efforts of the Alumnas Association, with Miss uni,.. . JcDowell at its head. On March 25, 1924, the goal of six thousand volumes was attained. In cele- brating this notable event the students were given a holiday, all classes were sus- pended, and the day was spent in recreation, including a hike and a picnic dinner. The Sophomore-Senior Reception was the moL.t significant social event of the year. When this term closed there were in view encouraging signs for a greater Chowan. The Academy,. which had been gradually passing under eclipse as the growth of the college increased, reached its finality at commencement. At that time its Senior Class, in graduating into the college, incorporated in their exercises the last rites of the Academy. In the fall of 1925, eleven girls returned as juniors and the Class of ' 26 was ,;,S;:;i I Chowanoka reorganized. New colors, black aiiil gold, were selected, and a class Hower, The Ulack-eyed Susan, chosen. Tiu- motto adopted for the year as, Name thy goal and work toward it. The college continued its forward march. During this ear requirements for standard rating were all met, and the institution moved toward the realization of the ideal established by Dr. Weaver. Perhaps the most thrilling events of this year, at least for those accomplished in the vocal art, were those in connection with the Glee Club tours. Voices from the Class of ' 2ft were heard among the chorus. The customary formality of the annual Junior-Senior Banquet was dispensed with, and in its place a unique and delightful midnight supper was served in Hope Cottage. Returning to college September id, 1926, fifteen girls were appalled to find tliemselves Seniors. They saw things from a different point of view, but cheerfully accepted responsibilities and were glad to use the long-worked-for and recently-acquired privileges. Some one has said that the present must become past before its happiness is fully realized, but this class revels in the present happiness of having attained the degree of senioritv. Mrs. W. K. McLeax. Class PropKecy 4tft The North Carolina Chapter of the National Educational Improvement Association met in the town hall of Raleigh, June 3, 1936, at the hour of 8 p. m. President Hazel Griffin, Ph.D.. read letters of congratulations from H. E. Fosdick. G. W. Truett, W. L. Phelps, and Mrs. V. K. McLean, President of the United f K States; and also a telegram from President W. R. Biirrell of ' R fc Chowan College, and a cablegram from the premier of France. HHjj l V The committee on Home Economics Findings, of which Mi.ss v Rosalie Tolar, President of the Hoover School of Economics in r Lumberton, is chairman, reported that since the last meeting the remaining one-third of the state has been educated up to the stan- dards of home-keeping; and it reported astonishing results following the clubs organ- ized by the brides of the towns. The co-operation in this work of Miss Madge Cooper, Secretary of the. South Carolina Chapter of the National Educational Impro ement Association, has be rjiof much assistance to Miss Tolar in this state. With these two efficient and interested economists, the Carolinas have been placed at the top of matters of hom development. Those members of the Association who have homes of their own and who are put- ting into practice the theories evolved by this Association, have set the usefulness of the law as an example for the entire nation. At the foremost in this service are Mrs. Thelma Draper Carter of Raleigii, Mrs. P ' dna Mills Hedgepeth of Thomasville, and Mrs. Flora Mae Hood Hobbs, of Asheville. Mrs. Hobbs has distinguished herself by the home problem plays she has successfully introduced within the past ten years. Mrs. Marietta Bijffllger Brandeburg gave to the association some unusually inter- esting and helpful experiences, in a report of her extensive travels in Europe and other coimtries. B her mastery of all the romance languages, and her social priority, com- bined with her wealth, Mrs. Brandeburg is peculiarly competent in bringing the homes of the different countries to a similar antl ideal social standard. Mrs. Jessie Marie Parker Chappell, the statistician of the tlepartnient, lias shown that the deaths in the State of North Caroh ' na have decreased by 25 per cent since the work of this associa- tion began; and that the record of happy homes is determined by the decrease of divorces to 15 per cent of the nimiber of ten years ago. The intelligence of the edu- cated mothers has given the youth a chance in health and in mental development, which knows no equal. Mrs. ChappcH ' s previous services as head of the Mathematics De- partment of Columbia University have gained her distinction of a rare degree. The schools of North Carolina have now become the standard for the entire United States, which pre-eminence has been gradually achieved through the marathon plans and great intellectual ability of Dr. Mer l Britton, E!nglish professor, and of Dr. Elizabeth Watson, language professor, at the criterion of all colleges in the United States, Chowan College of Murfreesboro. Following the reports of the committees. Dr. (jrifhn called attention to the recent book which ha:, started America to understand the importance of the home group, Through the Front Door, by the secretary of this association, who has been working on sociological questions since 1926. Dr. CirifHn pointed out to the association that America has yet to solve a great many problems, and that the committees would con- tinue their research and assistance to the towns assigned to their respective sections. The demand for entertainment in North Carolina has been placed upon a most commendable plane since the entrance of some members of this association into the business of furnishing America with the proper stimulus in that direction. Dismissing further thoughts of duties and problems for the time, Dr. CjrifHn presented the world ' s greatest entertainers, who completed the program. Mrs. Jewell Askew Edwards, the dramatic critic of the United States; Miss Moella Askew, the. world ' s greatest child dramatic artist; Miss Nancy Parker, the most popular and pb ' werful soprai p soloist since Jennie Lind ; and Mrs. Marietta Bridger Brandeburg, the only woman pianist who has attained such distinction — all of whom have recently returned from a tour of the United States and Europe, graciously and befittingly presented a great, simple program. It was a magnanimous reproduction of the events in the year of the 1926 graduating class of Chowan College. The meeting was adjourned to meet again in Ashevillc, North CajqLma, June 3, 1937- ' Hazel Griffin. President Beryl Souter, S t, Secretary. Social Events i-f f . IKS. WK.WEH HOSTESS .AT DKLKJHTFUL P.

A., which is among the most important events of the year, was held in the college parlors Thanksgiving eve- ning. The spacious hall was beautifully deco- rated with flowers and green plants, the color scheme was green and white. The guests were ushered into the society halls and into the college parlors. The evening was spent with much merri- ment and laughter by some, while others seemed to search only for more deeper thoughts. This year the reception was not in the usual formal style.

The evening was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. THE SEXIOU.S lUTtN THE UHOWX LADY ' cr early iji the fall the Seniors were told that many people objected to the old Chowan custom of the Brown Lady. This supposed ghost, even though the students knew that ' he was only a Senior in disguise, might frighten them too much. Such fun was not good for students, they were told. There- lore, the Senior class had a meeting and voted to burn the Hrown Lady. .Amateur Night the Senior class dramatized the story of the Brown Lady. .After the program they took a make-be ' ieve Brown Lady down to the ravine, built a fire and placed her in it. The girls watched the sparks of the ghost fly up toward the tree tops. While the sparks flew they toasted marshmallows on the fire of the ghost ' s ashes.

It is a land of laughter, of tears, of hopes, of dreams, and of real- ity firought to a tired world in the form of play. In this land lieyond the footlights new ideals are born; talents that have long been sleeping are awakened. Noble desires rise to the call of the actors on life ' s stage. On this stage — the world — one learns to act his part under the Master Director — the Creator of Life ' s drama.
