Archives CHOWAN COLLEGE LIBRARY MURFRGESBORO, N. C. THE 1950 CHOWAN OK A ANNUAL PUBLICATION OF CHOWAN COLLEGE MURFREESBORO, NORTH CAROLINA Kathryn Bryant Editor Pervist Miles Business Manager CHOWAN COLLEGE LIBRARY MURFREESBORO, N. C. We give you this yearbook in hopes that it will bring back memories of a year well spent. We hope you will forget all the headaches you have had and let this be a pleasant remembrance of this school year. It is our intent that this book be read over and over through the years to bring back pleasant mem- ories of days at Chowan College. FOREWORD To Mr. Leon Pharr Spencer in recognition of the great service he has rendered to Chowan College since his coming here over two years ago. He came when the weeds had thickly covered the campus and the dust had settled upon the interior. As the sickle met the weeds and the cloth absorbed the dust, so he met the problems and absorbed the worries in a warm and friendly manner magnani- mously giving his valuable services toward Chris- tian education. Thus we dedicate this yearbook to a man whom we have learned to admire and respect. DEDICATION Leon Pharr Spencer ON OUR . ' i ' i o88s CAMPUS BITS OF EVERY DAY LIFE ON THE CAMPUS AND IN THE HALLS OF CHOWAN COLLEGE B. D. BuNN President CoNGRATULATONS to the Student body and particu- larly to the CHOWANOKA staff, class, and faculty representatives for achievements made in getting out the 19 0 Chowanoka.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Goxernment Association of Chowan College was organized early in the tall term of this year in order to pro ide a just and democratic system of self-government for the student body. It is the purpose of this organi- zation to further the interest of the student body, to control all matters of conduct, to develop self-control, responsibility, loyalty, and good citizenship. All legislative powers of the student body are vested in the student govern- ment coimcil, while the Men ' s and Women ' s Judiciaries are given the judicative powers. The activities of the Student Government tor its first year of existence have been those of organizing and establishing a firm foundation by which the stu- dent bodies of future years will be able to govern themselves and accordingly be recognized as an essential element in the activities of Chowan College.
