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 !

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.

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.
