C. h. There was a Chowan Senior of 1920, who had a Dream. In this dream, behold she stood before the old gate of Chowan College, even as it was in the Early Days, as early as 1867. And lo before the gate she saw three Flaming Figures. Who are you? said the Senior. We are, they replied, the Pioneer Virtues which have made Chowan possible. And the one who had a calm brow and the Eye of a Seer said, I am Vision. And the second, who was Full-Armed and of Heroic Mien, said I am Courage. And the third, who was of a Tender and Noble countenance, said I am Loyalty. Then said the Senior in Great Admiration. I realize that you have made Chowan possible. But even as she spoke the figures seemed to cloud into a mist before her eyes. And in a twinkling there stood in their place three Young Girls, dressed in the fashion of Olden Times, even as far back as 1867. And they smiled upon the Senior of 1930, and then turned to enter the Old Gate by the Swinging Door in the middle. But the Senior said, Please stop. I feel that you could tell me much about the first days of Our College, for I feel that you possess the three Pioneer Virtues which made it possible, and that you could give me a new understanding and a better love for Old ChoAvan, since you knew and loved it long before I did. And they smiled again, and one of them said, Ask us about it. And lo the Senior awoke from the Dream. But she did ask them about it. She found that the three young girls were now three dear Old Ladies. And it was more than a pleasure to talk to them of their College Days, and to glimpse the Intellect and the Spirit that was theirs. It was like being once more in a Dream. And from this Inspiration it was decided that — With reverence and affection we dedicate this 1930 edition of the Chowanoka to the three oldest living graduates of Chowan College — MRS. T. G. WOOD who was Dora Askew, of the class of 1867 MRS. T. J. VANN who was Betty Mitchell, of the class of 1869 MRS. C. W. MITCHELL who was Pauline Mitchell, of the class of 1869 I May we, and those who follow after us, be worthy to follow after them, and may our lives and our influence not fall too far short of theirs in gentleness, and strength, and cheer, in Vision, and Courage, and Loyalty. I hope that the dear girls ot the class of 1930 will never lose their vision of the highest things. It was that which led us to Old Chowan in those far-off Pioneer days. It has never left us. May it never leave these newest alumnae. l X A-fTT ' y , .r9 A m MRS. VANN May the Class of 1930 not only see but have the courage to follow the vision that Chowan College holds before them. That took courage in those earliest days. I am sure it still takes courage. MRS. MITCHELL That the girls of 1930 may be loyal is my wish, that they may stand by their vision, and go on with the start they have made, and that their Alma Mater may stand, and go forward, witli them. % ♦ ♦ Iff ♦ ♦ The Senior was particularly eager to hear of the Activities these Dear Old Ladies had participated in when at Chowan. She guessed from only a Brief Contact with their sweet and loyal natures that whatever the Form of Said Activities might have Been, they had been entered into with Fervor and carried on with Enthusiasm, that there had been much joy in them. She knew that such things did much to Round Out their lives while Knowledge was being instilled into their Minds. For these lives crowned with years, bespoke wholesomeness and broad sympathies. These were Shining Personalities which gave forth nnicli radiance in their sphere. What were the Pioneer Doings at Old Chowan that had contributed thereto? The Senior wondered just what shape these early Student Activities took, as far back as 1867. But behold it seemed that the Outstanding Characteristic of the same was that they were Extremely Simple, and that there were very Few of Them. The Senior listened with mingled Astonishment and Amusement, but with a deepening interest to the Descriptions that the Old Ladies gave. Those far-off Days seemed very strange, drcam-likc indeed. But perhaps those Few Plea.sures of Olden Times were as much enjoyed as the Many of Today. z - ii - i x i r % rPIONEER liOINGS h. S!:: ' ..- . . .: fc4! : -a: is.s .r .. .: Ss.- :l5i .: Well, said Mrs. Mitchell reminiscently, we were very young then, when we were at Chowan, and I don ' t suppose we appreciated it as we should. But we enjoyed it, and loved it, I know that. There isn ' t mucli to tell, said ili-s. Vann, smiling, except that we enjoyed our lessons ever so nnicli, and always loved our teachers. The simplicity of their statements was both amplified and emphasized by Mrs. Wood. What did we do Why, we studied, and had our classes. — No, we didn ' t have any literai-y societies ihen. — No, we didn ' t have any B. Y. P. U. work. We went fo cimrcli on Sunday. Yes, sometimes we went dowiil(j ii other times. Tliere was a lrug store, we could get sodas. — Athletics Oh, no. Xot like you have now. What fun did we have? Well, we had our friends, ;nid our folks would send us things from home, things to eat nminly. We always liked that. Wasn ' t the college food good? Oil, 1 guess so, but c didn ' t think so at that time. You know college girls. We were always hungry. Ob, yes, we were always sim))ly perishing. So it was nice to have these feasts in our rooms witli our friends, after we got our boxes from home. Did we enjoy our friends? Oh, yes, we had good times together, just talking with them and visiting in their rooms. Especially our darlings. — Who were they? Why, iur erv best friends, the ones we loved the most. What do you call them (_ ' rus you suppose? Well, I don ' t believe I ' ve heard that word. What did we do for our darlings? Why, we loved them, and did little things for them, and sometimes we got to .sleep with them. That was a treat, of cotirse. Yes, indeed, the Brown Lady story happened right while I was in school. Ah, I thought you ' d be interested to hear that. Yes, I graduated in the year 1867, and it was that spring term that the girl who later appeared as the Brown Lady dic(l. Xo, I must not tell her name. But 1 I ' enu-niber it was bad weather and her family could wii come after the body for several days. A little funeral service was held at the college. It was one of President McDowell ' s (Miss Eunice ' s father) older daughters who suggested that they dress the girl in her brown dress, just one of her good dresses, so she would look more natural fo her mother. You say it ' s all so interesting? But really I haven ' t told you anything — But they wevp. interesting, those Pioneer Doings, just because of their delightful simplicity. % 1 % w k. And lo ! As the Senior dreamed she realized that the Scene in which the Pioneers of Chowan Carried On their Simple Activities was still unmarred. Improvement had served only to enhance its Traditional Beauty. She realized that we have all they had and our Many Improvements also. The Senior recognized these Antique touches which have given Chowan so much of Charm and Grace. The same Old Trees still stand, and the shrubbery, much of it, remains undisturbed since ISGT. The Grand old Piano and the Rare old Tables which have stood on the Parlor for so long remain in their places. They seem to hold volumes of rich lore in their fine old depths. The Yellow Ivories still ring out true tones, and many new modern designs in silver and pottery grace the Old Tables. The deep wooded hill with its Majestic Pine and Beech and a quiet little ravine remain untouched by man ' s hand. The swinging wooden gate still stands guard between the driveway and nature ' s woods — shutting out, as it were, everything that would change them. And as the Senior walked through the unjiretentious gate, she seemed to feel herself in the world of 1867. And she was glad that these scenes had remained Unchanged. The connecting link between these Pioneer Spirits and herself se;emed stronger as she realized that their setting was also hers. lit i ' ♦ :m.: - • ...W ' ! % f ' mmm I I And the Senior tlioiiglit it woulil be PlcasMiit that after the three old Ladies Lad given her this lievelation of the Past, tliey should Visit Chowan and receive a Revelation of the Present. So the visit was arranged. And a lievelation it was indeed! It seemed as if the Dream continued, save that the Senior ' s jihiee was taken hy the Oldest Alumna, who, a school girl once more, saw the Thi ' ee Flaming Figures of thi ' Pioneer N ' ii-tin ' s. And she who had a calm brow and the eye of a seer rent aside I be Veil of the Years and showed a Glowing Vision of the Chowan of 1930. The Oldest Alumiui was most interested in the l ers(]iinel of the ( ' oUege, namely those who liii|uirted Knowle Igv and those who sat at their feet, that is to say, the ]• ' acuity and the Students. .Vnd the first were noble and strong of heai ' t and head and hand. And they who sat under them were many more than in the Early Days, and were of Varied Interests and Potentialities and Ages. The youngest of them were Somewhat Tender, and Timid, and, as the woidd would say, Unsophisticated, Init they had a mind to work. And she who I ' alled herself Vision was tlu ' light unto their eyes and ihe bim]i unto their feet. The next (jf those who sat were more ( ' om|iose l an l had a mind to hght and to conquer. An l tipon their shields was emblazoned the emblem of her who calhcl herself Courage. And again, there were still others who sat and awaited the time of their At- tainment. Soberness and Seriousness had b( en adde(l id their ]iorti(in. And the influence of the tender and nolde-conntenani-ed Loyalty was upon them. Miireovei ' , ihe wise ones waxed exceedingly glad as they expounded the learning of the land, for those who sat undei ' tlieni wi re eager to be filled. lint what the Oldest Alumna remai ' ked above everything was that they All, those who taught and those who learned in ibis .Modern Age, were Comrades. And it was Something delightful to behold the Fellowship and tlii ' Understanding between them. I ■9- il Twenty-two Poarb of bministration Mr. W. B. Edwakds President Miss Valerie M.

Forty-six The Club is without form: it has no officers and no fixed nieuibersiiiii, and the attendance varies. Anyone — teacher or student — who will read to the assembled group something Avhieh she has written is privileged to attend a meeting. Essays, poems, stories, plays, diaries, autobiographical chapters, letters, editorials, news accounts, and translations from classical and modern languages are presented. The Club intends to encourage voluntary writing and to provide an appreciative audience for those members of the College community who write spontaneously. It does not analyze or criticize except in a very informal way. Members of the Club are not trying to teach each other; they are trying to find out whether they can interest each other.

But the place of the Senior, and that of the oldest Alumna, was taken hy a New Personage. yhe was the Future ' s ( ueeu. This title was hers l)y right of contest. She had hcen Voted Chowan ' s Faire.st Girl. In the Dream that cmitinued, the Future ' s ( ueen saw again the Three Pioneer Virtues. And a hand of each clasjied, and they all three held extended, a I ' lauiing Torch. Now the ( ueen guessed that the Torch represented the Condiined Intluence of the Three Virtues, or the Meaning of Chowan ( ' (dlege. And she asked them if it A ' ere not so, and they said it was e -eu s(]. Then said she, You are not carrying the Torch away from us? And they said, Not if the Chowan Girls of this Modern Age can Carry it On. The ( ueen saw then, as though in answer to a Challenge, a small and slender Figure step forth, a figure which slie kiii ' W at once to represent the Class of 11);50. Now there was Something at once Sei ' ious aiul Gallant and Kevereut, at once Inspired and Free and Tender ahout the Young Figure that the Queen greatly Admired. And she admired even more when she saw her step forward and Seize the Torch that the Three Virtues held out. An.l as she did so she said in a Cl( ar Voice , The Class of 19:!0 Will Carry On.

Tliroiiirli f liese lour years, we liave ob- erved her laidiliilness, + loyalty, and iroiidness And in the Dream which continued for the Future ' s Queen, things became rapidly more Familiar, so that she seemed to be Half-Awake at times, and remembering rather than Dreaming. For she saw one of her class-mates who was most Well-Known to her, seated at a table and covering various sheets of Foolscap with writing. And looking over the shoulder of her who wrote, the Queen caught glimpses of .such magic words as Lawn Party, Stunt Xight, Brown Lady, Endowment Pledges, Junior- Senior Banquet, Caste, and many others. And the Queen said, Oh, yes, yo i are writing the Record of the Class of 1930. And she fell into a reverie, a Kind of Dream within a Dream, in which all of the events of the past Four Years passed before her, and lo they had, liotli great and small, that Charm which belongs only to College Days. And the Queen tiiought, again with Pride. It is a Good Story. We have well and truly Carried On. Moreover it seemed that she saw then another classmate, also a Dear Friend, who bent over a shining Crystal Ball. And the Queen said, What do you see, O Class Prophetess, in the Crystal? Then replied she who gazed therein, I see a glimpse of the Future of each of our classmates. And how seems it to you ? asked the Queen. It seems very Fair, was the reply, All seem to have taken up Novel Occupations in the World of the Future. Yet I can see how each is Well Founded on the activities and Possibilities each girl displayed while at Chowan. I see, said the Queen, Still Pioneers, and still Carrying On. Now did the Queen Kecall that she herself was the Class Testator, and she found herself looking into a Trea.sure Chest, containing those precious things which the Class of 1930 will leave to Old Chowan. There is not much of Material Value, thought .she, But better, there are the jewels of Vision, Courage, and Loyalty in the unique setting of 26 Examples in young Lives and Personalities. And every Jewel glows with the light of the Torch. % Senior Clasps; $oem I Classmatt ' S we have worked together four long years with eager niiuds.

Pkesiuext Our first year — characterized by our greenness and daring — Fools step in where angels fear to tread. So it seemed this year, when thirty-one of us attempted more things, and accomplished more, than in any o( our last three years. A summary will give only a slight idea of what happened. 1. September 18 — Our courage was first tested in the Society initiations, and our Loyalty was pledged, for the first time, to our College. 2. September 26 — We pled.ged our loyalty to God in a beautiful and impressive Y. W. A. Initiation Service. 3. Beginning Wednesday. September 29, the Clan Sophomore lield sway. The Week of Tyranny included midnight court, a stunt program by the Rats, a circus parade downtown, and last, but not the least exciting, the night in which fourteen fresh- men held the fort, until daybreak, in one room against the mighty host of Sopho- mores. Another court followed the morning after. 4. Wednesday night, October 27, 12 o ' clock, was the memorable night of the return of the Spirit of the Brown Lady, and subsequent ramblings of freshmen with the spirits of another world, at wliicli time we again pledged (jur loyalty ami devotion to Dear Chowan. 5. Our first Amateur Night, October 29, brought us honors — first place among class stunts, which we held for three successive years. G. December 9 our first P-nut Week began. 7. In this year twenty-one of our class made pledges to the Endowment Campaign. S. We caught a Vision of the work ahead of us and developed Courage to face the issues as we met them day by day. We were inspired by our association with teachers and classmates, and vowed eternal allegiance to our school and to the Future which lay ahead of us. 1927-28 — Second Year Triumphs — Juax-ita Vick, Fresidext 1. We returned to school in the fall of this year, minus thirteen of our classmates, but with a vigor and vim that bespoke sorrow to the incoming freshmen. However, our Reign of Terror was slightly modified by a more pressing interest — a lawn party, by which we realized a needed sum wherewith to entertain our sisters. 2. Our Hallowe ' en Carnival was the grand fete of the year, at which time we demon- strated our executive ability as well as our spirit of fun. 3. In this year we aided our sisters, the Seniors, in their graduating finals by carrying the daisy chain and lifting our melodious voices in appreciative song. 4. Our athletic prowess was displayed in the Sophomore-Senior Baseball Game when we were finally run by nightfall — with a score far ahead of our rivals. 1928-29 — The Yk. b of Most Enjoyment — Eva Ho igari), Phe.sident 1. Our lucky year — The B. S. U. Conference. We came to the front through our service iii the Junior Tea Room. Our reputation as cooks grew steadily with our bank account. 2. The most enjoyable program of the year was presented by the Junior Class — so others said— when Pink ami Patches and Suuirressed Desires were given by an all- star cast.

We ushered out the Seniors with all good will, not forgetting to imagine ourselves in their places the following year. 7. In this year we began to realize the mighty work, which the teaching and inspiration of Chowan had pointed out to us. that lay within our power to contribute to the world around us. Our aims were raised and our field of endeavor and ambitions broadened, until we could see only the needs of others and not those of our own. 1929-30 — Sk.nmoi! Suphe.macy — Jii. nita Vkk. Pkkside.n ' T 1. We have held the reins this year, serving as examples of good conduct. A Senior Honor Roll was established and an average of 90 per cent on roll was made on it. 2. October 31 — Our Big Night — A weinie roast was given by our sponsor. Miss Carroll. The events of that night will long be remembered by the members of the class of ' 30. 3. The Seniors presented the classical play, Caste, in which new talent was disclosed and met with such success it was carried to two well-known towns where it received much commendation. 4. As this annual goes to press, we are anticipating many happy hours — parties, picnics, plays, recitals, concerts — the least among these not being the Wake Forest Glee Club Concert, but the greatest certainly being The Thrills of Commencement. I Hagt Mill anb Wt tamtnt We, the class of ' 30, Chowan College. County of Hertford, State of North Carolina, being imbued, we trust, with the three pioneer virtues — Vision, Courage, and Loyalty, do hereby in this Last Will and Testament, make known our desires concerning the dispensation of certain possessions, which we trust shall survive us long after we have departed this college lite.

One Hundred Twenty-one lit I €ia vop }tty- -a (§limps;e 3nto 1940 I I I Yes, they were all there. When I had written them, they had all seemed enthusiastic ahont the idea of a reunion of the Class of 19. ' 30. And, indeed, not one was missing. A chorus of cheers greeted me and for a while, we all talked at once ahout how glad we were to be together again. But it was late, and so. rapping on the table, 1 called the meeting to order. Members of the Class of 19.30, I said. As I stand before you on this happy occasion of our Class reunion, I thrill with pride and pleasure, for we have all noted, with keen interest, the progress which has been made in our Alma Mater within the last ten years. Ten years seems such a short time when old friends meet together and go over, in thoughts and memories, their yesterdays. How happy we are to find that the Chowan girls of 1940 are al)le to claim the same president and the same college mother that we claimed. Everyone is going to tell you, in her turn, what the past ten years have done for her. Well, girls. said Lela Ashley, as petite and dashing as ever, I guess I ' m first. Of course you know I ' m married. What you ' ll be more interested in is that I ' m ventur- ing into the perfectly new field of using my spare time to collect antique dance records. Since the Victrola is clear out of date, they are of rare value as curiosities. I have a barn stored with them. — a collection valued at a halt million dollars. Norene Baker, in her sophisticated manner, continued the conversation. I have been writing, French menus for the past four years for all the leading hotels in the North. Montaine Ward is my field secretary, and because of her ability to translate French so well, has interested many patrons in my menus. I can speak for three of us, Mary Britton remarked, looking over the group. Julia Downs, Pauline Simons, and I are about to venture into an entirely new field of science — the planet, Jupiter. Pauline has cleverly designed modern scientific outfits tor our first trip up there. Yes, said Pauline, They include very cute white sweaters of synthetic wool with a big J. on them. Lucille Davis arose with that air of calm di.s;nity, which is so characteristic of her. You, who are interested in North Carolina politics, know what the last ten years have done for Maybelle Honeycutt and me. Maybelle is making her plans to run for Lieutenant Governor and I for Governor of North Carolina. This is real pioneering, for it is an unheard of thing in the old North State. Girls, said Frances Flythe, her blonde hair elegantly coiffed as usual, and with her breezy seriousness. I ' m a real pioneer, too. For five years I have been on the Concert stage giving a new kind of program. I sing numbers imitating the sound of vegetables growing in the ground, and rosebuds opening in the breeze. At last a real nature music has been evolved. Most of you know that Mildred Hinton and I are co-editors of the News and Observer: ' Thelma Freeman said, But the success of our paper is due, in a large measure, to Jessie Helen Belch, Juanita Vick, and Willia. They, too. have found their spheres in journalism. Thanks to Miss Carroll ' s inspiration, we are the first lady editors in the South. When I was elected president of the National Association of Psychiatrists. Eva Hoggard remarked, I was surprised and delighted that three of my co-workers were former classmates of mine — Eva Vinson. Irene Sykes, and Olivia Williams. Through combining psychology with our treatments, we are attaining unprecedented success in this camparatively new field. Walter and I have been married six years. Audrey Parker said. We are living in Norfolk at present. I have been writing articles in my spare time on How to keep a family happy on three meals a week instead of three a day. I believe I am the first to think that even a possibility. I think my experience in the Chowan dining room first gave me the idea. Then Isla Poole arose. She seemed even more sophisticated and insonciant and charm- ing than ever. Girls, she remarked, carelessly, I have had a checkered and romantic career but, as you may have heard, it has been devoted largely to literary pursuits. I have had some success, but my next book will create a real furore. It will tell, in novel form, of some psychological research I have been doing to perfect a system of mental telepathy, whereby a teacher can know what is in the mind of a student without it ' s being necessary for the latter to recite or write examination papers. This system will be useful also between friends who do not express themselves or write letters easily. Needless to say, this book will be my chef d ' oeuvre and will require all the knowl- edge of education, language, science, and human nature that I acquired at Chowan and in the world since. After several years of experimenting, Emma Gay Stevenson remarked, briefly, My co-laborer, Mildred Pipkin, and I have evolved a mechanism by which we can project on a screen the colors of notes produced by the violin and piano. Nellie Sutton, rising in a business-like way, favored the class with an explanation of her new automatic typewriter. Even a child can learn to type perfectly with only three lessons on my machine. It ' s a time saver and its accuracy is unquestionable. Well, said I, Tomorrow, I shall go back to Richmond and take up my work in Grace Hospital, but I want to thank you tor the happy time you ' ve given me. This has been highly interesting, I ' m sure, and shows that the members of the Class of 1930 are not only loyal to their Alma Mater and her ideals but have also the Vision and Courage to enter new fields of endeavor in the world, and be pioneers in this modern day, as Chowan was in olden times.

Now it seemed to the Future ' s Queen after beholding Them Who Seized Tlio Torch, and Carried On, and the Way in which they Carried On, that in her Dream everything became very Quiet. She dreamed that she stood before that nobk Building, the Columns, and that she looked at it long, and then turned to look at the lovely campus that lay in front. And she was quite alone and she thought. What now? What does the Future hold? We the Class of 1030 have carried on the Torch. What lies ahead for Chowan, and for us? And the vista of the Campus before her seemed to grow more beautiful and bright, though it kept still its Dear Familiar look, and over it among the Treetops flamed words: Tliv Fiihirr — The Land of Still Greater Achievement — and again. The Future! Of Course, thiinnlit the ( )uccn, Other classes will Carry On as we have done. Chowan ' s Future cannot but l)e Greater than the I ' ast or the Present. But what of us? For a moment nothing happened. Then it seemed unaccountably all at once, as if she were looking into a Mirror. And she saw, of course, Herself. I see, said the Queen. Our Future is Up to Fs. Chowan has done what she could for us. She has Imparted to us Vision, Courage, and Loyalty. She has given us the Torch. But a last tlimight came to her.

A young lady went into a book store and asked the clerk for some light summer reading. Well, said the clerk, We have a good book liere called Tiie Kcntiiclii Cardinal. No, I don ' t care anything about religious subjects, was the reply. Oh, but, said the clerk, This cardinal was a bii ' d! I don ' t care anything about his private life either, rejoined the young- lady curtly. I think this is a good joke because it is Miss Whitney ' s favorite, and yet she is interested in both religious subjects, and private lives. IsLA PoOLE.

About a year later, they went to see St. Peter. They told him thai they wanted to get married and that tJicy were tire(l id ' waiting. This is the reply that St. Peter made : You may get married just a.s sikhi as a |ireacher gets to IlfavcMi. I liave been waiting for one a wlndc year, and not one has come in Heaven yet.
