IN MEMORIAM William Sears Ricks Conway, North Carolina . , . Forgive my grief for one removed, Thy creature, whom I found so fair. I trust he lives in thee, and there I find him worthier to be loved . . . Tennyson ecUcatcoH HERBERT THOMAS APPENZELLER Coach, professor, counselor, trainer, life guard, boondoci er, and friend of every student and faculty member . . . but few titles for this person about whom the College whirls. Certainly, no one connected with Chowan College has done more to instill in the students under his direction the virtues which ore associated with a cultured being. No one has been able to spread the name of Chowan College and add to its reputation in the manner of the Coach. No one has been able together so little and receive so much. His talent has been scarce for he has had to compete with the larger colleges and universities. His staff and equipment have been meager. But this only brings out the man. The staff of the CHOWANOKA is aware of his many extra-curricular activities — those above and beyond the call of duty. There is something more than just acquiring another athlete that prompts him to seek employment for prospective students, beg loans from people interested in the athletic program, and even underwrite the ex- penses of others. Never has he asked the question, What do 1 get out of this? Always he asks, What can I do to help? He came to Chowan when the school faced almost insurmountable odds. We think that the success of Chowan Col- lege has been due, in a large measure, to his leadership, teaching, working, public relations. Therefore, we dedicate the 1955 CHOWANOKA to HERBERT THOMAS APPENZELLER. p m H U DR FOREST ORION MIXON Th. M., Ph. D., President. REV. OSCAR CREECH A., Th, B,. Associate to the President English.

P ' ie i4de tt ' A ( Ccc The Presidents or Wheels really roll around the campus of Chowan College. In fact, they roll so rapidly that they hardly pause long enough to smile for the birdie. Actually, the Privileged Few — every- body cannot be a president — did assemble once for the photographer, but the resulting photograph showed several demure persons — they had their eyes closed. And, afterwards we could not get them to- gether for a picture. Therefore, Tilley and Borden will have to continue their naps. What more ignominous title con one hold than that of President of the Presidents Club? AND HERE ARE THE OFFICERS. Johnny Hill (seated), president; (standing left to right) Charles Paul, vice president; Sue Godwin, secretary; William Finch, treasurer.

It handled several student dis- cipline coses, maintained order in the dormitories, and on occasion mode recommendations to the Adminis- tration on situations involving the mole students. The members of the Judiciary ore elected to office by popular ballot.

The Judiciary consists of women elected to office by popular ballot. The events of the Women ' s Judiciary during the post year were few, but these events were completed with anticipation. It helped to provide a Christmas vacation for two Cuban students. The money collected from a faculty-student basketball gome was used to redecorate the Ladies ' Lounge. The Judiciary spent a week-end at Nogs Head making plans for 1955- 1956. Pauline Hardee, Vice-Presideni Secretory-Treasurer; Sue Godw Jean Carol Porker, 1, President.

Not 7Hc tc4tenaU 4(£c4Z tce The Ministerial Alliance, composed of the minis- terial students at Chowan College, met regularly with well-planned progroms. The Alliance co-operated with all religious activities in seeking to promote a spiritual atmosphere on the campus. Some of its members held pastorates, others did supply work in the churches of the area, some conducted revivals centered around the youth of the church, and some held their first Easter Sun Rise service.

The Baptist Student Union, a focusing religious unit at Chowan College, ctteinpts to enlist and utilize each student in Christian service. Through its unit organizations — the Sunday School classes and the Training Union — it seeks to link the college with the local Baptist churches, and through its campus organizations — the Young Women ' s Auxiliary, the Ministerial Alliance, and the Vesper Hour — it carries forward on active program each week. The Executive and Greater Councils sponsor the work, both meeting in regular sessions weekly and quarterly, respectively. StucCe tacoit The B. S. U. attended the State B. S. U. conventions in Salisbury and Lexington and the Foreign Mission Board meeting in Richmond, Virginia, It is the purpose of the B. S. U., by way of Christian guidance and activity among the students on Chovi on College campus, to bring about close relationships between the College and the churches of the community. Lula Pearl White was the State Junior-College Representative for 1954- 1955 and Emory Byrum is the newly elected Junior College Representative for 1955-1956. The B. S. U. sponsored the Halloween and Valentine parties during the year. EXECUTIVE COUNCIL First row: Jessie Lee Davis, Secretary,- Betty Ruth Boyd; Pat Griffin, Patsy Futrelle; Pauline Hardee.

The Chowan College Oratorio Society was organized in September, 1954 with letters of invitation being sent out to oil the surrounding churches within a 25 mile radius to all those interested in singing in such a group. Two oratorios were given during the year. The first one being Handel ' s Messiah. Guest soloists from Rocky Mount assisted in its presentation. The second presenta- tion was Stoiner ' s The Crucifixion and soloists came from the Oratorio membership. The Sextet appeared with the Glee Club in various churches and made numerous other appearances for the W. M. U. meetings and Associational meetings. The Glee Club made appearances at Conway, Great Fork, Potecasi, Jackson, Mount Tabor, Hertford, and Murfreesboro Baptist Churches. They made a trip to Jacksonville and Davis to sing in churches there and combined the trip with pleasure by going to Atlantic Beach, For the Spring season and the final concert of the year, the Glee Club presented a musical program on May 24. This program consisted of secular numbers featuring several selections in solos, duets, and a sextet. CHOWAN COLLEGE LIBRARY MURFREESBORO, N.

Heading the list of projects for the year was the construction of a new student lounge in the room next to the Student Store, replete with pine panelling and mahogany stained booths, by the free-labor of the club in co-operation with the Administration. In a drive for funds to buy award jackets, the club sponsored three other events, Chowan Capers, the first annual Blue-White Football Gome, and the Cen- tral Prison Varieties.

Therefore, a building program began during the 1953-54 year. And, what happens to the eight members! One of eight returns. Billy Finch became president and he directed the society in drawing up a new constitution and securing mem- bers. Before the end of the year Zeta Alpha Sigma began functioning as a society.

Without the Services of quarter- back, Herman Clark, the brunt of the offensive work fell on Al Pierce ' s broad shoulders, who scored two touchdowns and averaged six yards plus per carry from his fullback post.

Dan Page Earl Wright Herman Clark Ed Moto Meado The Chowan Braves opened the 1954 gridiron campaign with o 13-6 victory over the Elon College Freshmen.

Ike Gay ryon Smitty Smith E, B. ■■Buck Adcock Edward Choplin Earl Wright romped fo an 88 yard touchdown early in the November 19 game with Camden Academy from Camden, South Carolina, but the Braves did not have the Point After Touchdown touch to enable them to turn bock the visitors. The explosive offensive game went to Camden 20-19. The game was full of offensive guns — Jim Gravely, Herman Clark, Jack Crenshaw. Billy Joe Dicke On October 29 on 81 yard jaunt, a 19 yard off-tackle slant, and o blocked punt enabled the Chowan Braves to subdue the University of Richmond Junior Varsity Spiders. The Braves stayed in front all the way on the strength of ploys by Jack Crenshaw, Donnie Taylor, Gene Ferguson, Ted Rollins, Ben Rich, Carroll Daniels and Ed Chaplain. In fact, it was a team victory and not an individuol feat. The contest went to the Braves by a 19 to 7 score. Johnny H Gravely 66 .- :J -! ,.2_-?

In fact, yve had rather not soy too much about basketball of 1954-55, Instead, we should talk about the prospects for 1955-56. Things look much brighter for a winning season. Coach Ap- penzeller faced a complete rebuilding job at the close of a victorious ' 1953-54 season when the Braves came in third in the Junior College Conference race, but he didn ' t have any Hilliard Greenes, Kenneth Haswells and so on. At times the Braves looked exceptionally good. Yet, they never did weld themselves into a team. The Jay ees, on the other hand, compiled an ad- mirable win slate. The larger high schools and service units provided competition. These lads should blossom out mto starters in one more year. e Patsy Futrelle il So t6 U ' ?ea H Front Row, left to i Marilyn Turner Mildred Wheeler Peggy Brown Carolyn Davis Betty Graber Toye Carter Phyllis Coley Anne Warren Jean Galloway Back row, left to right: Pat Griffin Shirley Martin Be cky Flythe Jean Parker Nancy Taylor Pauline Hardee Fannie Lou Bissette Daisy Bell Patsy Futrelle Mrs. M, E.
