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.
