D E D I c A T I N And gladly would he learn and gladly teach. This quote from Chaucer echoes with praise although its words are few. In these golden words is contained a picture of the man whom we honor in the dedication of this yearbook — a man who has poured out on many Chowan students his store of knowledge, his moral and physical support, and most of all, his genuine interest in their problems no matter how small or how large they might have been. He has been a tireless worker, a sympathetic listener, and a wise counselor. To him has fallen the gigantic task of setting up and supervising the entire academic system of our school. Often beset with the problems of too few teachers for our growing student body, tangled schedules, and overloaded classes he has conquered these adversities and has given the students more academic opportunities. Even with this responsibility he has found time to enrich our lives in his English literature classes. Not content with all this, he has served as faculty advisor to the yearbook staff. His advice and assistance have played a major role in the presentation of this vearbook. To such a man we of The Choicanoka dedicate our book. L. Robert Grogan ADMINISTRATION F. 0.

Liberal Arts The liberal arts department here gives instruction leading to a two vear terminal course or to transfer to another college. It also offers work in Pre-Engineering. Pre-Forestry, and Pre-Nursing. We are very fortunate to be one of the few junior colleges in the state to have an indoor pool. This has greatly aided the physical education program. The new science building will be a most welcome addition to the program. GoshI This Enghsh is cracking me up. this shorlhaiui lalj uas plenty rough. B U N E The business department is one of the most popular divisions on campus. Its primary function is to train students to go straight into the business world either through a one year course or a more thorough two year general business course. It also offers two vear transfer courses. It looks like business math was a crip. (Oh, yeah!) This machine has just to Vocational Arts Hey, you guys, are you fixing that motor or are you tearing it to pieces? Do you think we will ever learn? The vocational arts department was originally the agriculture department, but it was changed this year to give a more diversified field. Pictured on this page is just one of the skills taught here. Besides motor repair, furniture repair, and landscaping were offered. Graphic Arts Our graphic arts is one of the best to be found in the South. As fast as our young men and women graduate, a position is waiting to be filled. The grad- uates of the school have been receiving praise from employers all over the state. One year certificates are given in linotype, and teletype. Two year certificates are given in graphic arts. First yuu have to send and receive the news. That is where the teletype operators come in. Guess what the linotype operators are always supposed to do. Ink smudged hands set up the type. We Hi-(icip() 111 hcaulifv our department. The girls pitched in and threw some paint. At last — the finished product. There was many a piece of material to go throng this machine. The Daniel School of Music Uont vou just line Ut practice music! The Daniel School of Music offers students beginning courses in theorv as well as applied music. This school trains students who are planning to transfer to senior colleges to pursue a Bachlor of Music degree. The College Glee Club gives students opportunity to train in group singing with the chance of singing before large audiences on their regular Spring tours. Similarly does the Chowan Male Chorus which was organized this year and appeared on several occasions. The recentlv purchased Baldwin .5 organ is available for students who wish to studv organ. Voice is also taught at the college. Instruments of the orchestra and Band are taught to those interested in this field. Students with considerable training in this field aid in the teachingof instruments. Asniall band was organized this year and played at several Basketball gatnes. The extension department of the Daniel School of music grows each year with a number of special students coming to the college each week to study voice, piano and organ. The men warm up their voices. SOPHOMORES Officers President Walter Sykes Vice-President Carol Bradely Secretary Nancy Barden Treasurer Paul de la Cruz Social Chairman Herman Clark In Retrospect : When we entered Chowan in the fall of 1954, there were over 150 of us from the Car- olinas, Virginia, Florida, Alabama, Pennsylvania, and Cuba. The football players among us were the first to arrive, but soon the whole group was here — taking tests! What a wel- come that was! Soon, though, we had settled down to the quarter system routine. We elected our officers and chose Miss Young as class sponsor. Winter sped by, and suddenly Freshman-Sophomore time was upon us. We hurried and scurried and finally, not a moment too soon, we were ready. After a delicious meal in the cafeteria we adjourned to the gymnasium which was beautifullv decorated in a carni al theme. We shall never forget Mr. Boston and his ad libs. Parting in June was sad, but in no time we were together again in the fall. This year our number had been cut to approximately 90 proud sophomores. There were parties and shows, concerts and recitals. We took them all in, and then graduation was upon us. After hearing Governor Hodges on Friday morning, most of us left for home. We shall miss our many companions, whose friendship we value among our most cherished possessions. NANCY RAWLS BARDEN Robersonville. N.C.

Outstanding Sophomores Each year the sophomore class elects from their number five women and five men, who, in the opinion of the majority, have contributed most to the life of the student body in both work and play. The characteristics which were considered were leadership, friendliness, industry, participation in the various campus areas, neatness, and good citizenship. The balloting was extremely close, and the ten high candidates are pictured on this and the following two pages.

Monitors are stationed on each hall to maintain quiet during study time and to preserve order throughout the night. Rules, drawn up by the women themselves, are posted and enforced by the Judiciary. But the work of this organ- ization is not all of a don ' t do this nature. An April Fool party was one of the outstanding features sponsored by the Judiciary. LEFT TO RIGHT: Betsy Cadle.

The Men ' s Judiciary is a form of Student Govern- ment whereby members of the men student body elect members among themselves to serve on a council for discipline and order in the dorm, cabins, and on the campus. The leaders in this council are chosen each year at the close of the year to serve for the coming year. This year the Men ' s Judiciary is composed of seven men of the Student body. It is headed by Emory Byrum. A representative is chosen for each floor of the new dorm, and a representative from each cabin.

OSCAR HARRELL PRESIDENT [inisterial Alliance OSCAR CREECH ADVISOR Under the sponsorship of Mr. Oscar Creech, advisor, and Oscar Harreii, president, the Ministerial Alliance has had a successful year. The organization is composed of stu- dents planning to study the ministry. The bi-monthly meetings usually held in Dr. Mixon ' s office are composed of lectures by both Dr. Mixon and Rev. Creech. In these lectures the ministerial students learn of problems they will face and how to best overcome them. They learn how to outline and present sermons and other valuable information which comes from experienced preachers. On several occasions they have participated in the daily chapel services and also over the Chowan College Hour, a weekly presentation of radio station W.R.C.S. on Sunday morning. Besides having preaching engagements occasionally the ministerial students pay a weekly visit to the prison farm in Ahoskie where they preach and witness to the prisoners there. The men in this organization are: Oscar Harrell, Emory Byrum, Louis Stokes, Lyman Sheppard, Wayne Davis, LeRoy Travathan. and Carlton Roberson. Activities Council STAI 6t ' ,so« Oscat The Activities Council is composed of representatives from each of the various campus clubs and organizations plus faculty advisors.

At a similar meeting in Woodland, where the West-Chowan As- sociation was holding their annual convention, they rendered special music. The Glee Club was guest for lunch at each of these meetings. During the second semester the Glee Club appeared in Chapel and sang for the Commencement Sermon. The officers of the Chowan Glee Club as elected during first semester were: President. Bob Mulder; Vice-President, Leora Holland; Secretary-Reporter, Norma Strange. The newest development in the music department at Chowan was the organization of a Men ' s Chorus at the beginning of the second semester. The group was organized and directed by Mr. Jim Brisson, head of the Music Department. The Men ' s Chorus made several appearances during this second semester. They presented a short program of music in Chapel on April 12. They sang for the Ladies Club at this organization ' s meeting at the Red Apple Restaurant. The second Sunday in May found the Chorus on the Chowan College Hour, a weekly presentation of W.R.C.S. radio station in Ahoskie. Special music was rendered by the men for the Gradu- ation Exercises.

Editor Joe McLean and his staff worked hard to give the stu- dent body an interesting, informative newspaper this year. They even got out an Extra in the fall on our red-hot football team. A small school newspaper is one of the greatest chal- lenges we know. We believe that our news hounds did an out- standing job the first semester and for the first part of the spring session. But the outside world called Editor McLean to work as Editor of the near-by Northampton County News. We missed our papers this spring, but we applaud the news- paper staff for a job w ell done. Katherine ' s Kartoons added a lot to the Chowanian. ' Virginia and Sara had plenty of copy to proofread. LEFT TO RIGHT: SEATED-]ohn n Hill. Rose Man.- Sheri- dan, Ada Barnes. Virginia Parker.

Coaches Herb Ap- penzeller and Paul Davis turned out one of the finest squads in the history of Chowan. It is a story of a small junior college eleven which never knew when to throw in the towel even against gigantic odds. Possible de- feat was turned into victory by the spirit to win. This is their story. EARL RIGHT Back GLENN STROUD-Back JOE DICKERSON-Guard %«- ...

The Braves presented a diversified running and passing attack in their first victory. They saw John Warren, Jack Crenshaw, and Harding Wood score the touchdowns. CHOWAN 25 ELON JAYVEES 14 Jack Crenshaw, Al Pierce, John Warren, and a hard defensive line took the steam out of Elon College and enabled the Braves to storm from behind for a 25-14 victory.

GLOVER When Coach Appenzeller and his hopeful basketball charges started prac- tice for this season ' s hardwood wars, observers noted that the entire team with one exception was composed of first year men. When the season was com- pleted, everyone who had followed the Braves was proud of their scrap, hustle, and sportsmanship. This style of rugged play earned for the Braves the runner- up spot in the conference tourney at Wilmington and right to represent our conference in the district playoffs against a strong North Greenville Junior College five. Our Braves were defeated, but nobody changed their mind about a great Braves team, and nobody forgot a terrific season. Hats off to the 1956 basketball Braves! v ,. 1 . ' - 1 GILBERT WOOD % Hi .
