Later, other buildiiifis were ;uhled. The followiiiii ' |U(.tati(ni from the Catalogue of 18.33-54 expresses the jjurpose of tlie founders: It rs established for holy i)ur))os ' s: to disei|)line mind; instrumentally, to sanctify mind: and then to direet its strengthened energies. The latter are regarded as of paramount iniportaiiee. as transeeiideiit talent, without moral eulture. |)roduees only evil. Tliat system of edueaticm is. tiierefore. radieally defeetive. whieh neglects the heart. The true system contemi)Iates a synmietric.al. devilopnu-nt of all the faculties — l)hysical. intellectual, aiul nu)ral— .and has regard to the whole sum of our existence. Such a syst.in we wouM h.ive mir own- the institution is incorporated, and mav be regarded as a permanent establishment where young ladies can complete the most extended course of studies. The school beg.in at once to !,ui)i)ly. in an efficient manner, the great need of the Chowan section of the state. Able and well-trained teachers were attracted to its chairs. Students flocked to its h.alls. Its doors were not even clos. ' d during the War Between the States. This pionei ' r in the education of womi-u became the boast .and glory of tl„. Haptists of the Old North State. It has graduate.! hun.lreds ,f w.nuen, many of whom have either become prominent themselves or h.avc become the wives and mothers of men who h.av, ' distiiiguisiied tlieni.selves in the history of our State .■iihI denoniin.ation.

Twenty-one T h e C h o ' H ' a M o k a 1 § 3 5 CLASS HISTORY ON Septenihev 7, 1931, in the midst of the depression whieh was swcejiing over the coniitry, forty new students found tlieir way to Chowan. Tliis ehiss has been faced with the depression thronjrh all of its four years, so it may triil - he called the dejjression class. In s})ite of this, we feel tiiat the cl.iss has achie e(l niiieli. Our Freshman class was composed of both boys and girls. Do I say hoys. ' ' Why, yes, indeed; this was the first year that boys were admitted to Chowan. Out of the eigllt youiig men who .ittendcd (liow.ni tli.it year, six of them were members of our class .and were we proud of them I We considered it (]uite a distim-tiou to be the first freshm.-in class to have young- uuii enrolled. Along with us in 1931 came Miss Margaret Hight. of Henderson, North Carolina. our Professor of History. We chose her as our s])onsor, and she has gone on through the four years with us. She has been a real stand-by and has worked with us f.aitli- fully. We are proud to haxe li.ad her for .ill our years at Chowan. When the first issue of the college paper, the Chuicanian came out, tlierc ajipearcd in the Who ' s Who Column the names of ten Freshmen who were valedictorians of tlieir higli school graduating classes. We were very jiroud of this distinction. and it caused some people to open their eyes to us as a class. During our Freshman year everything that happened was very important to us. We were introduced throughout the year to the many traditions and customs of Chowan. During the early fall we were entertained a number of tiuus. The B. S. U., the two Literary Societies, and our Big Sisters, the .Inuiors, gave us ])arties. The first year we learned tlu ' signiiieanee of the usu.-il events that occur each year at Chowan. Among these are the annual picnii ' for the college family. Soj)homore Day with all its fun, Founders ' Day, The Brown Lady ' s yearly visit to Chowan, P-Nutting at the Christmas season, and Society Day. the first of March. With Old Man Depression still with his head high, many of us managed some way or other to get back to Chowan again in the fall of 1932. However, our ninuber had decreased considerably. That was a rather quiet year for some of us. Of tourse we did have to take some time off in the fall to tame down tiie Freshmen and let them have some experiences similar to wh.it we as Freshmen had Iiad the year before. When we finished with them. I think they re;ili d how green, and insignificant they were. During our Sophomore ye.ir we had to be quiet and stand aside while the nation elected a new jiresident and started the New Deal. Our class was very proud to have a ch.uuc to help Roosevelt a little. The History Department, (uir class in- cluded, jiut on .1 mock nominating convention, and nominated Roosevelt by .111 over- whelming vote. Mr. Roosixilt cirtainly had our whole hc.-irted supjiort.

The most iuiiiortaul e eiit of the yiar for us was the Junior-Senior banquet whieh was j;iven April - ' 1 . l!t;!f. In spite of the many obstacles we had to face, the depression class, through e.ireful manaiiemeut of the tea room and otiier efforts, accumulated funds enoufih to |)ut on .i xcry nice liaM |iiet. Tin S])auish i lea was used througlmut. Two of our .luuiors were numbered auioni;- the Siiiiors last year. One reeii -ed a ])ublic school music (lii loma. and the other, an expression diploma. We were xery proud of them. Our class has been very susceptible to the so-called marrying fever. Three of our members are married two beina ' married to each other. Certainly this has never been the case iu any other class ;it Chowan. At the beginning of this our Senior year we had fifteen in our class, one of whom came from another school to join us. And even one of the members of last year ' s graduation class came back to be w itli us. We are glad to count him in our number. This year had in store for us much work. res|)(nisibility, and pleasure. The most important officers of the various organiza- tions had to come from the Senior Class. These included four members of the Student Government Council, B. S. U. President, the two Society presidents, and the Athletic association president. There is quite a great deal of responsibility that goes with each of these offices. In thinking of our Senior year we would not forget the nice banquet that the Juniors gave us in April. It will always be remembered. This year we have had more social privileges granted. We were allowed to chaperone all underclassmen the second semester. We appreciate the confidence that was placed in us. We feel that we have made one great aecomi)lishment this year; that is, getting (Uit an annual, the Chowanoka. It took a great amount of coin-age and effort to undertake this task. This is the first year that Chowan has h.-ul .-in annual for several years.

My dear MmIk-I: It is quite lucky for us. the class of ' 35. that you ha|)))eu to be secretary of the .•ihnunae association just at the time Chowan is to celebrate its hundredth anniversary. 1 .-ilso he.-ird th.at you were .Science te;icher there now. Of course. I knew that you would be connected with the collcfic in some way. because it became such a part of -oii when you were there that you would never forijct it. I was quite surprised when I got your letter asking uie to act as secretary to the class of ' 35 and find out what the members of the class are now doing. I have heard from .ill the class either directly or through some other jierson. After quite a bit of work I ha e the information you wanted. Some of our members will be there for the Celebration but a few are so far aw.-iy tli.at it will be impossible for theui to eoiiu ' . I lieard from Nora Mae Ward. Her .iddress is now Hobbsville, North Carolin.i. ■She h;is been teaching the ])ublii ' school tiu-rc since her graduation and has made |iiitt ' :i successful teacher. Thriuigh Nora Mae I heard about Inez Willoughby. Do you remember when Inez was president of our class. ' ' I always knew she would one day be famous. Nora Mae said just at the present time Inez was in China doing some scientific research work. She h.as gone quite a long way from dear old Chowan, hasn ' t she? If you by t ' hauce turn on your radio on .Saturday afternoon you would he.-ir another member of (Uir class, in person — none other than Cora Felt(Ui Hass. She is now a great singer in tlie Metropolitan Opera Company. I received a litter from Kdith .Smith last week. .She is another ime of our class th.-it is a teacher. Do you reuu-mber her ambiti(Hi to te;ieh in a citv dei)artuiental system. ' She is now teaching iu Norfolk. A ' irgini.-i. Not all of our class turned (Hit to be old maids either. Lucy Boone Freenum is now Mrs. Korie Co])eland. Of course, we till knew tli.it would hai)pen sooner ov later when we were .at Chow.-in. .She lives in her natixe town Couw.ay. North Carolina. Not by .

L()N(; TRAH. For the Last time, please God, Carolina ' s sons with shouldired .arms m.-ireh down tlic trail that this time ends in the poppy fields of Flanders. Not for themselves they go, but that a war-stricken world may be made safe for all people. Happy Europe, festive, gay, ha.s heard the mighty thunder of galloping hoofs. War, Famine, Pestilence, Death — ride again .above the earth. America seems heedless of the jieril and desiiair. At last her spirit is awakened and with shining eyes and starry flag she goes to her manifest destiny. Victory. Peace, (iod li.-is tramjied the vintage from the grapes of wrath. THE 15 OW OF PROMISE Serene in strength anil beauty stand the mountains of Carolina. Above the old Wilderness Trail that has seen the joys and hopes of so many years there shines a bow of promise — a promise that peace, just and lasting, shall gladden the earth forevermore. THE MOUNTAINS PRIMEVAL The mountains of Carolina about the break of day. Silent mist-hung, mysterious they stand. Cool winds of dawn jilay among tliem. The sun rises slowly and sends down a long sh.ift of golden light. The clouds disjierse. the little winds .-ire still, thi ' mists .-irc lifted. Day dawns on the trail that is — nobody knows how old. OUT OF A WILDERNESS The spirit of the Trail waves her wand and again there live the stirring scenes that e])itomise the making of a nation. Down its winding way in long procession jjass the buffalo, the Indian, the hunters led by Boone, colonists crossing to the valley lands beyond, stern men riding with General Campbell to King ' s Mountain there to turn the tide of the Revolution. Then on the mountain tops the feet of one bringing gl.-id tidings. Freedom. Liberty. A nation is born. THE GOLDEN AGE Faster and ever faster come settlers to the fertile mountain valleys. But not without blood and tears is the land ))urcliased. In journeyings, in ])erils among Indians, in ])erils in the wilderness, in perils of their own nation, in weariness, in pain, they come, the undaunted, and build the Old Dominion. Cattle grai!e upon a thousand bills, industry follows the stejis of William King, cities come, colleges and their culture, great ])lantations smile in the sunlight wiiile hai)py negroes dance and sing. Civiliz.ation flowers into perfection. It is a (iolden Age.
