1929 EDITED AND PUBLISHED BY THE Senior Class Chowan College MURFREESBORO, NORTH CAROLINA Whitaker Library Chowan College Do not take from jjbrarx jforetDorb As, we, the compilers of the 1929 Chowanoka, have taken our canoes and rowed on the Meher- rin and have learned much of the life in Chowan, thinking of how our Forefathers and the Indians have lived and played on ttese waters and on these plains, we have herein tried to portray truly the haunts of Na- ture, the palisades of pine-trees, and the merry folk who ramble in the green lanes. May there be a bond of friendship in our memories between ourselves and those who lived here long ago. May this book bring pleasant recollections of the past and brighter and more determined aspirations for the days that are to come. Contents BOOK 1 Cfje College BOOK II i:f)c Clasfgefi BOOK III Sctibities; BOOK IV jFeaturcs BOOK V talpg BOOK VI Bebtcatton Those who have taken a vital interest in Chowan, who have loved her, who have striven to help her maintain her existence and to move forward in progress, who have helped her in times of need truly as a father helps his children, and who have cherished hopes for her and seen them fulfilled — to them, Our Dear Forefathers we reverently dedicate this 1929 edition of the Chowanoka. We hope that they will continue to love and support her, and we know that their efforts in her behalf will not go unrewarded. Cfjotoan, JWotfjer Beat A song in thy praise, O mother dear, Doth rise to lips from loyal hearts. We do greet thee ! We do greet thee ! As out the darkness thou thy way Dost break through night to perfect day. We salute thee! We salute thee ! Mother dear ! Mother dear ! Our hearts rejoice in thy wisdom and strength And to God be thanks for thy fostering care. We do praise thee ! We do praise thee ! Thy name — so fair — we love and adore, So treasured with hopes and mem ' ries of yore. W e adore thee! We adore thee! Dear Chowan ! Dear Chowan ! The thrill of thy beauty — kind nature ' s own skill — Doth surge through our souls, and brighten our way. We adore thee ! We adore thee ! The beech, the magnolia, the longleaf rare Each season doth rival to make more fair. We do love thee! We do love thee! Mother fair ! Mother fair ! ail Pioneer! Hail, Pioneer, who helped to blaze the trail That learning ' s way to woman open wide ! Where ' er they be, thy daughters ne ' er will fail To hasten, loyal, summoned to thy side. Of what thou wert, thy children proudly boast ; Of what thou didst, when very few would dare ; But not in laurels past we glory most, But what thou art and shalt be is our care. We love thy atmosphere of kindliness; We love thy piety and simple faith ; We love thy aim — Though small, among the best ' ' We love thy ideals, Alma Mater ! Newel Mason.

Quietly and unnoticed, Ruby slipped into our midst. A shy, demure, timid soul is she. Unselfishness, sympathy, and big heartedness are qualities which permeate her nature. Once your friend, always your friend, — but you have to know her. Sincere, unpretentious, re- served, ever that something peculiar to Ruby alone. She goes her way. never shirking her duty.

Ladies and Gentlemen, is one of the only two in captivity; step in closer and realize her knowledge of Latin. Alice is an earnest, sincere, dependable student who has won the esteem of both faculty and student body. In bidding Alice farewell we wish her success, and to predict other- wise would be entirely inconsistent with the foundation that she has given us upon which to stand and prophesy. f Twenty-six !i ' i rn iii ii i !

So do ladies! This fact has been proved by the esteem in which Bertha ' s class- mates hold her. She is known for her gentleness, demureness, and willing- ness to have a part in every undertak- ing of her class. Alice Cook, A.B Calypso, N. C.

Alice is a hard worker and has taken an active part in all school activities. She is at home anywhere on the athletic field, and our basketball team would have been tar from complete without her. But not in athletics alone does she excel, for in the kitchen she is in deed, as well as in name, a cook that can satisfy the appetite of any man and thus win her way straight into his heart.

Jean brought her laugh to us all the way from wild and wooly Texas. though she detoured via South Boston, Va.; however, she has become thor- oughly Tarheeled. She is a most re- markable person in that she is both a four-square lady and an all-round good fellow. As for her ability — this issue of the Ciiowanoka expresses bet- ter than words ever could. When a girl gets both an A.B. degree and a Diploma in E, ' xpression in three and a half years . . . well, that ' s enough said and there ' s no use trying to lay on the taffy. Rniv Inez Damel.

Ruby possesses a great soul, and we feel sure that she will prove a power in her field of work. She exhibits that high type of Christian character and womanhood which is always associated with the truest success. Diligence, ability, and all-round good fellowship — rare qualities, but Ruby possesses them all. As for her frequent trips to the postoffice — well, there ' s bound to be a reason.

Angel doesn ' t climb upon the housetops and herald her presence, but it you want a job well done get her to do it. It ' unusual ability combined witli conscientious effort are pre- requisites of success, Ruth has nothing to fear. She pretends to be indifferent to the opposite sex, but this is incon- sistent with her mail from State Col- lege, Potecasl, Columbia, Creswell, and other points soutli. A. N Eliz.vketii Downey.

The name Ann is a symbol on our campus. To the students it means a smiling face, and a noble character. To the teachers it means efficiency, and the execution of every trust and res- ponsibility. To the college it means a soul and a fountain of inspiration. To the Alumnae it will be a source of Chowan Spirit for years to come.

If, some day, you happen to see a big smile, with a pencil in its hair, coming towards you, don ' t be alarmed, for it is only Jessie. Even when in high school, Jessie was extraordinarily pro- ficient with a lead pencil, and in col- lege her pencil (pardon me. she uses a fountain pen now! has produced many cartoons and poems. She is a tiny little mite that is going to leave a heap much big vacancy when her di- ploma takes her out into the wide, wide world. Wir.iMA El.IZAIiETH El.r.INGTON.... Saxapahaw, N. C.

Steady — dependable — always there — that ' s Wilma. She is quiet and unob- trusive, but she never tails to do her part when called upon. Wilma has the admirable faculty of knowing when to speak and when to keep silent, and the reputation of pouring oil on the troubled waters of the Class of ' 29. She is a true exponent of It can be done. f i Thirty Agnes Harrei.l, A.B Rosemary. N. C. Lucalian English Mars Hill College (1, 2); Secretary Sunday school Class (3); Edwards B. Y. P. U. (3); Y. W. A. (3); Vice President Sunday school Class (4); Y. W. A. Circle Leader (4); President Lucalian Society (4); Senior Repre- sentative Student Council Spanish Club (4). Agnes came to us from the high lands — Mars Hill, and if all Mars Hil- lians are like her, we want more ot them. This bright-faced, eager girl is full of quiet power. She has ability in Society work, being president of the Lucalian Society; and is a capable and sincere religious worker. We wish for Agnes a great life, for she deserves it. Ros.M.IND R0M, 1.D. HoR.

Rosalind is the one girl in Chowan who can always smile. Judging from her smiling countenance, nothing ever displeases her. Also she is a woman of few words ( truth is stranger than fiction ). What a combination ot characteristics! With her cheerful disposition; however, she is far from being frivolous — just modest and in- nocent, that ' s Rosalind. If all the other students at Chowan were like her, the proctors would be fired and peace and quiet would reign supreme. M Thirty-one nTrFr ' inr.TTnTTTr! d i ST m Margaret Jeffreys. B.S...--Cofiel(l.

What? Not heard of Margaret Jeffreysl Surprising! Astonishing! Shocking! How such a thing could be, we cannot tell. But here she is before you in aspect if not in life. Margie has the gift that few people possess — a sense of proportion ; she knows how to combine work and play. She is brimful of fun and a splendid sport, and takes a special delight in playing with whimsically humorous remarks that imply more than they say. Dame Rumor claims that — but let us deal with the present and not venture any predictions for the future.

Here ' s to Bettie Walter, the possessor of an incessant stream of conversa- tion. Bettie ' s willingness and desire to work in the interest of others and her unfailing brightness of personality have made her one of the most out- standingly popular girls in school. Dramatic? Yes. Musical? Yes. Liter- ary? Yes. All these, and many other qualities are bound up in this little piece of humanity known as Bettie Walter Jenkins. Thirty-two Mary Lou Jokes, A.B Hillsboro, N. C.

Mary Lou has played a dual role in her sojourn among us. Four years she has been a student and for three years she has taught suc- cessfully the commercial subjects of- fered by the college. The fact that her class has chosen her as its president for two years bears testimony to the esteem in which her classmates hold her. Her versatility will enable her to attempt anything, and her capability (plus her red hair) will assure such attempts of success. Eva Carol Kinlaw, B.S.. St. Pauls, N. C. Science Secretary Mattic Macon Norman B. Y. P. U. (2); Y. W. A. (3); Chap- lain Lucalian Society (2); Vice Pres- ident Student Government (3); As- sistant in Science Department (3); Home Economics Club (2). Eva is every inch a business woman, and every foot a lady. She has thrown herself vigorously into every phase of school life until now she is one of the school leaders. It is wonderful how much she has accomplished in her three years here. Her scientific abil- ity has gained for her many promi- nent positions. If anyone wishes to be enlightened concerning her ability as a teacher, just ask some of the girls who have had Physics lab under her. Eva promises to be an asset to some college faculty — provided she can turn down the repeated calls of Dan Cupid. . Thirty-three w Mahgaret Lawrence, A.B Gatesville, N. C.

We were about to say that Margaret is proving a disappointment to us, but far be it from such! What we had in mind was that Margaret is one of those girls who is seen but not heard, but alas! Recently she has completely changed our mind by taking up debat- ing. And as advertising manager of the Chowanoka she has gained the reputation of being able to out talk the hardest prospect. Go to it, Mar- garet, the Class of ' 29 is proud of you. Here ' s luck to you! EnjiUsh Down Town Club ( 1, 2, 3, 4 I : French Club (1, 2, 3); Glee Club (3, 4); Music Club (1, 2. 3, 4); Theodore Presser Music Medal (3). Here is a bonny lassie who can al- ways be counted on to stand true to Chowan. Her fingers are treasure tones of melody which have given unaccount- able pleasure to her classmates. The problem of the voice students of next year is to find an accompanist as ef- ficient as Rosalie has been. We bow to her musical talent; we doff our hats to her sincerity — in friendship, work, and play. y2 Thirty-four Li riii.i; Long. A.B .Severn. N. C. Alathenian Matlieinatirs Y. W. A.

Meek and quiet, as rats should be, she set about her work. and today we find her in the same un ruffled way preparing to enter the school of experience. K. Ti ' ; Maikik. Expression Diploma...

Emily Post tells us that it is im- polite to stare, but everyone stared when Kate arrived at this institution of learning. Sometimes we stare now. as we sit enraptured by the spell of her dramatic ability. Kate migrated from Baylor University when we were in the midst of our Sophomore vear. We don ' t hold it against Kate for the mistake she made three years ago. but we are glad that she saw it and changed the school of her choice. Our only regret is that we have not had her with us longer. Ida Cokk.nk Matthews. A.B Seaboard. N. C. History B. Y. P. U. Officer (1. 2, 3): Varsity Soccer (1); Swimming Club (1. 2. 3); Orchestra (1, 2): German Club (2, 3). Now we turn to one of our typical little homemakers Ida might well have the Master ' s degree conferred upon her. it the ability to manipulate the broom and the dishcloth were pre- requisites. She has completed her course in three years and we hear that very soon — but sshhh. editors mustn ' t tell everything they know.

After reading the statistics of this girl, we see that there is little more to be said. Ginny toted the honors in her local high school, and when she came to Chowan, she continued to tote ' em. She has that amazing quality of not only being able to under- stand her lessons, but to remember them as well. If there were such a thing as a yard-stick of pedagogic standards with which one could meas- ure knowledge, we would say that Ginny is all wool and a yard wide. Odessa Moss, A.B Grover, N. C.

In- scribed on her tahiihi rasa are not ten years wanderings, but four years of faithfully following the dictates of her professors. Our two years association with her have been an inspiration to us. So earnest in her work and fun. We know not half the work she ' s done. Thirty-seven Sasah Inkz Parker, A.B Murfreesborn. N. C.

Though she may not rank as an in- tellectual genius, Inez has continuous- ly managed to satisfy the faculty of her ability to stand above the average. We should admire her tor this degree of studiousness since quite a bit of her time must be spent in composing let- ters to a very important friend. Lai RA Ruth Parker, A.B Murfreesboro, N. C.

When a girl is known by her friend- ly smile, words are not needed to sum up her character. Patiently, steadily, ever minding the goal and never mind- ing trials between, Laiu ' a Ruth pursues her work. A genuine, sincere, and trustworthy comrade we deem her. Congratulations to the home she may adorn. . Thirty-eight iii ' !ii!iiii:i ' !i;i ' V!;;! ' ' !i i!r ' rii!Wiii Elizabeth Sewell, A.B Murfreesboro, N. C. Latin Down Town Club (1, 2, 3, 4); Latin Club (1); Greek Club (4); Art Club (4). Elizabeth is a perfect little lady every time one sees her — neat in ap- pearance, kindly in manner, and sweet of disposition. Behind her gentle menner, there is a powerful intel- ligence. She has a high scholastic record, but she ' s not entirely literary, for: She ' s Murfreesboro born. And Murfreesboro bred. And when she marries (It ' s rumored that) She ' ll be Murfrees- boro wed. But after all is said and done — she is a Latin major. Selah! Bettie Elizabeth Spenceh, B.S Seaboard, N. C.

Although a new member of the Class of ' 29, Bettie has smiled her way into our hearts. She is one of those quiet, good natured, hard working girls who has many friends and is always in her place when called on. Here ' s to you Bettie. Be as fair to the world as you have to the Class of ' 29 and to Chowan, and you will always win. Christine Malinoa Stillman. A.B Weeksville. N. C. Edxa Stillman, A. Creswell, N. C. Mathematics Y. W.

Pour long years ago a little girl, holding tightly to the hand of her big brother, came all the way from Cres- well to begin life at Chowan. This little girl was none other than our own Teeny. We did not then sus- pect that the petit Teeny would prove to be such an important factor in our school life, and all because we failed to look at the facts of the case from a mathematical point of view.

Whenever you see a smile surround- ed by six inches of face, and every one around laughing, there you ' ll find Edna slowly speaking a few words in which she has cleverly concealed a great deal of language with a little bit of wit. She is a girl whom one has to know to appreciate, tor she is so quiet and unassuming that her many admirable characteristics are not readily per- ceived by the casual observer.

Our hearts and souls thrill when we hear her sing, but our most embarrassing moments are spent trying to control our feet when she plays. She is one who has never let her studies inter- fere with her education. To sum her up we might say that she is too wrapped in her art to bother about grades. Hku:n Walker, A.B...Mooresville, N. C.

Little Helen, as she is known to every one on the campus, is just another proof that valuable things come in small packages. Sincerity is her middle name. The many admir- aljle traits of this young lady cannot be enumerated in this small space. She is a conscientiou.s, hard worker, and has a determination that has won for her a high place in class work, and the respect and friendship of her classmates and p, oiViisurs.

Forty-four lllllllTTTTrrr,C l rgtoam ILigfttg On September S, 1925, there came pouring into Chowan ' s doors the largest Freshman class ever received at the College. They hailed from various environ- ments, but all had come to do the same work, live the same lives, conform to the same rules, experience the same homesickness — and they did — aplenty — and get similar treatments. College life was something new under the sun to these forty or fifty-odd beginners. They had not before this eaten, studied, slept, exercised, meditated, worshipped, bathed by bells. Student government, professors, new surroundings, immense demands on the time of the students, classical music, dates on Monday night, school on Saturday — there was no lack of the new and the strange. But if anyone could be game, get busy, conform, yet be individual, the nineteen-twenty-niners knew they could. And they did. Surely they were soon acquainted with the warriors, .second year students. Soon green headdress and a never-ending line of petty frivolities were imposed upon them. Had they ever pulled grass by the suit-case full by picking a blade at a time with eyebrow tweezers ? If not, they soon learned how, and .shaved the campus in a little while. That is an example of adaptability. But all was not imposition for these little papooses. No ! Every one is grateful for the lawn party Pastor Bryant of the Meherrin Church gave the class. Thirty- five freshmen ate five gallons of ice cream ! They said they had enough. As for freshman class activities, they were not of very great significance. How could they be when other more pressing things demanded attention ? Papooses are largely helpless in their own individual efforts, but this class shook their feet loose from the bandages, and learned a little about kicking. However, the great time came when they became warriors or better known in college parlance as Sophomores. Never has there been a class more keenly alive to duties imposed on them by custom and tradition. Surely they did not fail to open locked doors, nor to go through any and every object of obstruction placed in the way. They had learned their lesson when they were papooses, and now they had their chance. The trip to the graveyard is no myth — it actually took place. Ask Warrior Jean Craddoek if she didn ' t sacrifice her good hard head and receive a lasting bump just on account of perseverance in carrying on the procession to the graveyard. She would tell you a wall got out of place and met her as she walked along. With Margaret Lawrence as president, and with our numbers only slightly depleted, this class was a power. Already they were looked on with eyes of expecta- tion and hope. Their pledges to the Endowment Campaign exceeded those of any other class in school. As it would be unnatural that this class was respected, for no Sophomore class is loved and respected, this class cannot claim popularity. No, not until the junior year could they claim respect in the college. Even the faculty looked askance at all the domination they saw in the Warriors. Forty-five The happy time — Jiffy Junior stage, or Medicine Men Period — came to this anxious and impatient grou|), still large in number, eager and enthusiastic about work or play. The Chief Medicine Man, Mary Lou Jones, had these traits herself, and they were catching. The management of the tea room was quite an addition to class activity. Talk about commercializing, these girls did it when they tried to sell cocoa sweetened with salt ! And it was fifteen cents per cup ! Too, they quite often made jam sandwiches and sold them. The recipe, if you want it, is two pieces of bread jammed together. The staging of the Junior-Senior banquet is a tole all its own. There were happenings during the preparation which ranged from an auto wreck to liquid ice cream. Once in tlie Junior year they returned to the warpath. The battle was supposed to be fought on the baseball field, but it turned out to be a Junior-Senior banner fight. The Seniors treacherously snatched a freshman banner, but the ever alert Juniors were in the fight to pull, hold, jerk, or what not — anything to retain the banner. Incidentally it nuiy be mentioned that the Medicine Men returned to their wigwams victoriou.sly waving their banner — tattered and torn, it is true, but IJicirn just the same. Then, at last came the much hoped for and idealized time when these medicine men became chiefs — Seniors ! Probably the greatest happening of universal interest and importance was the Brown Lady visit. Those who for any reason chose to be absent from the meeting on the night of Hallowe ' en, were specially urged to come the next night. There were only two who chose to be in this class — Miss DeLano and Miss HaLsell — but the next night just at twelve, as their gallants were bidding them good night at the door, the weird ones became companions to the ladies. These specially honored two had experiences in dark and uncertain corners of this world that niglit. TJie strange truth is known only to them and to those who came from the spirit world. Every Senior who had been going to Sunday scliool in Miss Carroll ' s class got a plum one day — she took them for a sup])er at the Spring over in the wood. One sad thing darkens this happy event. The rolls gave out, but there were only fifteen dozen for thirty or thirty-five guests ! Miss Carroll proved she knew how to hand out a good time to the girls. She provided cats galore, fire, ghost tales, fun, and a thrilling long walk back to school in the moonlight. On May 28, 1929, the history of these young ladies in their self-training and self-culture was completed. On that day they received their reward. Thirty-seven ha])])y yet tremulous maidens stood between four years of strenuous training and the demands of life. Will that training be able to cope with those demands? Will the future be as worthy of that moment as the past has been, and could succeeding chapters of their history, thotigh unwritten, be as deliglitful as that recorded here? WiLMA Ellington. Hi lorian. Forty -six Class ropfjecp On 11 baliiiv nioriiiiis;- in April, r.i. ' !4, I wa.s .si ' ized with ;i distinct tmirli of spring ffver. I was toachiiig i)iano in the Cherokee Indian Reservation at Cherokee, N. C. ] ry Indian pupils were usually energetic, but they wire affected by my own languid air on this particular morning. When tlie last lesson was over, I closed the piaiw with a sigh of relief. I thought a walk would pep me up, and I left the reservation for a walk on the mountain-side. I sat down on the swinging bridge over the river, and gazed into the crystal depths. The gentle swinging motion of the bridge lulled nn into dreandand, and I soon finmd myself in Paris sitting in the luxurious breakfast rcMini of Mme. Lamoire. 1 was })enising tlje nnirning ]iapers when Madame entered excitedly waving ;il(d t an open letter. My dial- Mile. Bettie, she exclaimed, the gods are indeed kind today. I have here an invitation from my dear friend Madame Dumonde, and she is inviting us to come to her salon this afternoon. You are to play, if yon will. She writes that she is presenting a protege of hers, Mile. Madeleine le Wade. She has a marvelous voice, and. . . . Madeleine le Wade? Wliere have I heard that name i)efore? Well, the mystery, if there be one, will be solved, in a few hours. Excuse me, please, I must select my music. At three o ' clock Madame Lamoire and I arrived at the salon whose hostess was famous, even in I ' aris, for surroumling herself with lirilliant jjeople. Madame Dumonde greeted us, then turned to me and asked that I i)lay for her guests. After my selection was over, I settled down to wait until Mile. Madeleine le Wade should be jii ' esented. I ' m sure I stared rudely at the tall, slender figure which soon arose and stood with languid grace by the piano. And, Madame was saying, Mile, le Wade will be accompanied by Mile. Rosalie Liverman. My lips parted in sheer amazement. I conld hardly believe my eyes, but my ears told me that the clear, firm technique of the accompaniment and the rich, full tones of the singer were quite familiar. I recalled how at Chowan I had said so many times, Sing for me, Maidie, while Rosalie is here to play for you. I listened as the golden notes of Maidie ' s song filled the room. Her applause was generous, and I felt quite proud of her. Soon I went over to congratulate my old classmates. Oh, Bettie Walter, Rosalie soon broke in, did you know that Maidie is to be presented at the Metropolitan next season? And after her presentation we are going on a concert tour. t iJiyv Forty-seven w My, I never dreamed that I was sitting in class with opera stars and concert artists in the ohl Chowan days! Congratulations again! Say, Maidie, do you ever hear from any of the rest of our old Chowan gang? Since I have been studying in Paris, I have lost sight of most of them. ' ' Ruby Britton wrote me last week, answered Maidie. She is teaching Psy- chology in Wesleyan College, Macon, Ga. And Helen Walker is teaching Mathe- matics there. Helen always did have a mania for triangles and unknown quantities. I knew Kuby was a satellite of Miss Mason ' s, but I had no idea that she had settled down in Miss Mason ' s own city. I wonder if she ever mentions the value of castor oil to her students? Bettie Walter, Rosalie suddenly interrupted, who is that distinguished look- ing young lady over there in the beige tea-gown, the one with the superior air? My dear, I am sure I don ' t know. At that moment the young lady in question turned lier handsome dark head, and we found her to be Mary Whitley. Will wonders never cease? I exclaimed, as we went to speak to Mary. Mary Whitley, of all people ! And what are you doing here in this learned group — splitting hairs as usual, I suppose. Well, if you must know, rei)lied the verbose Miss Whitley, I am taking a brief vacation from my strenuous duties as professor of modern languages at the University of Tennessee. You might be interested to know that our friend Alice Carter is one of the Latin professors at the University. Good! And do you ever hear anything of Elizabeth Sewell? I asked. Speak- ing of Latin, I always think of Elizabeth at the mention of the word. My sister, Evelyn, wrote nie that Elizabeth was expecting to take a Ph.D. degree in Latin at Columbia this year. And did you know our learned friends, Agnes Harrell and Virginia Martin, received Ph.D. degrees last March. Whew! Aren ' t they coming to the front? I commented. And now come to my a])artnient all of you ' 20-ers and let ' s chat some. We ' ll have dinner togethei-, and then take in a good play this evening. They agreed, and after having paid our respects to our hostess, we started toward my apartment. About half way down Le Rue de la Paix, Rosalie suddenly stopped. Oh, look at that quaint little shop. Let ' s go in. I like that ! Why bother ? asked Maidie, it ' s only one of those Shoppes Anieriques. We went in and soon learned that it was Alice Cook and Elizabeth Webb who wore so efficiently operating this exclusive Shoppe Amerique in the heart of the shopping district of Paris. Forty-eight - c And, Alice enlightened us, what do you think of Rosalind Ilornc, my room- mate of ' 29 becoming a well known interior decorator in the city of Boston, Mass. f Yon don ' t mean it ! Yes, she got her start in a course in house plans and interior decorating at Chowan. I hear that her artistic ideas are much in demand, (■ iii in aristocratic Boston. After including Alice and Elizabeth in our plans for the evening, we left them. After dinner Mary bought a New York paper, and after glancing at the headlines, she jumped up and said, Girls, listen to this: ' Miss Odessa Moss distinguished herself today in her brilliant defense of the co-respondent in the Sutherland divorce case. It is thought that she will eventually become one of the most out- standing lawyers in the United States. ' Wonderful! exclaimed Rosalie. I always thuuglit Odessa was joking aliout her ambition to become a lawyer, but now I know she is really in earnest. Here is more news, continued Mary. The Carolina Playniakcrs of the Uni- versity of North Carolina have recently completed a successful tour of the northern states and are expecting to tour Europe during the month of April. They will give their performance in eight of the large cities, including London, Marseilles, and Paris. Oh, wouldn ' t it be thrilling if they were in Paris tonight? They are, I said, I forgot to tell you the morning papers carried the an- nouncement of their j erformance at the Porte Saint-Martin. Let ' s go! We decided to go, and the opening hour found us in our box. The curtain went up on a dizzy drama called Wheels. The first act was a rajjid whirl of events with the star actress, ' Speedy, ' here there and everywhere. Soon Maidie turned to me and said, Did you ever see anybody so miich like Kate Maekie? It is Kate! At the end of the third act the director of the Playniakcrs brought three young ladies before the curtain to introduce them. I wish to present the author of Wheels. Miss Inez Parker. Cheers aro.se, and soon the director continued, Here is Miss Kate Maekie. One we are justly proud to introduce. Then, again, Miss Jean Craddock, the treasure of the Carolina Playmakers ! Mary sank limply back into her seat. Jean Craddock, Kate Maekie, Inez Parker ... all on the road to fame. When the play was over, we rushed to congratulate our famous friends, the same merry girls of their college days. ' ' Wilma Ellington came to see us wlieii we played in London, said Jean. She is teaching English, if you please, in a select girls school just outside London. Do you know, Jean, Wilma said to me in that grave way she has, after studying English with Miss Carroll for three years, I felt capable of teaching English even to the English ! Forty-nine And do you know where Mary Lou is ? Kate broke in. Wilma wrote me that Mary Lou is president of King ' s Business College in Raleigh. She always did have a talent lor being president of something. Do you ever hear anything of Bertha, Inez? I asked. My dear, haven ' t you heard? asked Inez. Bertha and her radio oxixnt have been married over a year. She wrote me from her home in Washington that she heard radios so much that she felt like a wave length instead of a human being. Say, girls, Kate interrupted, let ' s go to a night club and get a taste of the night life of this town. As we entered the supper room of the Apache night club, the lights flashed off and in the glow of a spotlight we watclud the willowy, swaying form of a dancer. At the conclusion of her dance, the fairy-like figure stood lightly on tiptoe and daintily kissed her fingers to the audience in acknowledgment of the applause. Jean turned to me with a gasp. As I live. That girl is Margaret Jeffreys! Why, yes. She is quite famous as a dancer. The critics call her ' Hovering Butterfly. ' Her feet are bringing her a fortune. After a few minutes Inez whispered, excitedly, Do my eyes deceive me, or is that really Margaret Lawrence at that table near the door? Oh, it is Margaret, said Mary. Let me run over and speak to her. Mary came right back with Margaret and a lady wlinm we had not seen before. It was Bettie Spencer ! Greetings over, Margaret explained that she was sailing the next day for Berlin. She was going as the New Yorli Times correspondent to the Baptist World Alliance. But what is Bettie doing with you? ' ' asked Jean. My dears, Bettie ' s fairy godmother dropped a fortune into her lap in the shape of a millionaire husband, and she is traveling for pleasure, rejoined Margaret. But we must hurry. Come down and see us off in the morning and let ' s swap what scraps of news we have about our old classmates. The entire party of ' 29-ers met at my apartment the next morning, and we went down to the wharf to find Margaret and Bettie. We did not see them at once, but Jean finally spied them talking to a group of people near the gangplank. In a few minutes we found ourselves in the center of a laughing group of vaguely familiar faces. Why, it ' s Ann ! And indeed it was the same old Ann Downey, our student government president. Ruby Daniel ! And Eva Kinlaw ! added Maidie. Where are you all going? asked Rosalie. Fifty Ua k We are going to the Baptist World Alliance, answered Eva. You see Ruby Daniel — come on, Euby — is B. Y. P. U. director in North Carolina now, and i nn holds a similar position in Georgia, and they want to meet others at the meeting who are doing religious work. How about you, Eva? I am sure Ann and Ruby haven ' t carried off all tlie laurels, said Jean. Let me tell. She is too modest to do herself justice, broke in Ruby. You sec before you the efficient State secretary of the W. M. U. organization of North Carolina. Congratulations are in order, began Kate. ... Let ' s postpone them for a while and talk some, interrupted Ann, we don ' t have much time, either. Margaret, what has become of Jessie Draper? You two were regular pals not so many years ago. We are still good friends, replied Margaret. We have an apartment in New York, and Jessie is surely gaining a reputation among the editors in the city for her clever poetry. And Inez, is Laura Ruth still teaching? ' ' a.sked Ruby. No, smiled Inez. My quiet and un-sophisticated sister got ahead of me and took unto herself a husband. She is living near Raleigh. And what about Maggie Warrt n? Ruby went on. I hear from Maggie once in a blue moon, said Eva Kinlaw. She is pastor ' s a.ssistant at the First Baptist Church in Wilmington. That reminds me, said Ann. I received a letter from Lucille Long just before I sailed. You know she is Dean of Wingate Junior College. She wrote that Christine Stillman is married, and that Edna is a Mathematics prof at N. C. C. W. Oh, yes, and Lucille wrote that Ruth Davenport is director of music at Hollins College. At that moment the warning shout of visitors ashore came from the decks of the steamer, and we had to get off. Each went her own way and wondered when we would meet again. The shout of visitors ashore changed into a familiar Indian whoop, and I opened my eye s startled to find myself still sitting on the swinging bridge. One of my brown-skinned pupils was standing on the bank of the river and gaily calling It is lunch time ! Then I was really at Cherokee and not at gay Paree with my Chowan class- mates as I had dreamed.

One Hundred Eight I ' r -ijlt— ? ft ' BDDKTy ong£i In these days of perfect lassies Lo ! how they do thrill us ever In their beauty, truth, and sweetness Their achievements and their symbols. Great men die, and are forgotten, Wise men speak ; their words of wisdom Perish in the ears that hear them, But the pictures and the symbols These gay lassies represent Are to live with us forever In the songs they tell us of. Wliat is better than a song For the heart with sadness filled? Or with mirth which needs expression? ' Not a word by lips is spoken Not a sign by pen is written That is helpful, ever useful To express the heart ' s real motive. ' Tis a song we need to aid us And to songs we turn our faces.
