May, 1932. The Chowanian, Chowan College, Murfreesboro, North Carolina. Page 3 HISTORY OF CLASS OF 1932 Coming from all sections of the South, and as far west as Texas, forty-one freshmen entered Cho- ■wtin on September 6, 1928, and from this group new thoughts and new ideas crept into the life of the college. These freshmen were destined to mean much to the col lege, tout, at first, many were homesick, green remarks were heard everywhere, and awkward actions were prevalent. We re- memiber how one girl, who has since served as Student Govern ment president, cried for weeks for want of relatives and her old surroundings. Becoming adapted to our new environment, we found that col lege life was not so bad after all, and in the other girls we found sisters, in Miss McDowell a moth er, and in Mr. Edwards a father. We soon learned to respond to the call of the bells in going to classes and meals, although some found it difficult to remember for what each bell w^as and often ran to the classroom when it was time to eat. Imagine it! The sophomores soon appeared on the scene and gave us such tasks as; sweeping, making up Ibeds, and running general errands. One sophomore regretted having made us sweep her room, for it had so much dirt in it she was embarrassed. Then, on Sopho more Day, wearing bibs of green, carrying umbrellas and raincoats (on a very clear day), eating with a knife, drinking with' a spoon, and o'beying every command of the second-year girls, we fresh men became fully initiated. Our ibig sisters were good old scouts and helped us out, often almost having fights with the sophs. numerous parties and picnics by our friends, and many jolly times together. But, we have had one great sorrow, that sponsor, Mrs. C. M. Billings, nee Mary E. Whitney, who -died De cember 27. As we come to our day of graduation, we remember her kindly for what she did for the class. We look backward over the paths which we have travelled, and we have some strange desire to be freshmen, sophs, or juniors again. But, we assume the duties and privileges of seniors with thankfulness and bless the college which has ushered us through four years of training in its halls. We know that our tasks will be great as we pass from here into a be wildered world, but we feel that Chowan has trained us so well phy sically, mentally, and spiritually, that we will be prepared to solve the problems and surmount the difficulties that will face us. We shall try at all times to live up to the ideals which our Alma Mater has given us. ADDIE MAE COOKE, Historian. PLAY PRODUCTION CLASS (Continued from Page 1) Brooks.

May 12, the society entertained its members of the Senior Class at an informal social. Shaded lamps, cushions on the floor, and foot-stools made a very attractive setting. During the evening, Mary Lee Clark and Kath erine Martin gave several readings. A quartet composed of Martha Bis hop, Mary Mills, Hannah Clinard, and Cora Felton Bass sang several popular songs. At the close of the evening, the social committee served banana sandwiches, deviled egg sandwich es and l‘monade.

From Octo ber 19 to 21, Chowan was hostess to Baptist students from colleges all over the state, at the annual B. S. U. convention, and the fresh men did their part in entertaining and making it a success. Two other outstanding things in our freshman year were: the win ning of the loving cup on Athletic Day, Friday, April 26, and a de lightful party given in our honor hy Pres, and Mrs. Edwards on April 22. \ i''altnTulIy 'pen'orming tHe ^utfes Miss McDo'well recently receiv ed from Mrs. H. H. Horne, of Leonia, N. J., a copy of the Cho wan commencement program for July 4, 1860, which she found in Dr. S. J. Wheeler’s scrap book. Mrs. Horne was Miss Bessie Worthington, ’89, and she shows her loyalty to the college in many ways, one of which is by often sending to the Chowinian things which are valuable and interest ing. The commencement program is as follows: “Chowan Female Collegiate Institute Commencement Exercises Wednesday, July 4th, 1860 Forenoon Chapel exercises.

Incoming freshmen cast timid and questioning glances our way as they entered Chowan Their suspense as to what their fate at our hands would be con tinued to grow until that eventful day when everyone was brought to court. There they were tried and found guilty of some offense: such as, having adopted the dig nified manners of seniors, getting! rection. mothers to bring sweethearts to' see them, and writing too many letters. As sophomores, we were a bunch of “live-wires”, with Miss Valerie Schaiible as our sponsor and Katherine Turner as presi dent. We sponsored the staging of “Wedding Bells”, which was presented by a church circle of Franklin. We shall never forget that trip which Miss Schaiible and Miss Carroll gave us to the Float ing Theatre. One of our greatest pleasures as sophomores was our privilege of carrying the daisy chain for our big sisters at com mencement. Notwithstanding the joys which come from being sophomores, we were eager to take up our posts as juniors and receive some of the privileges of upperclassmen. Miss tMary E. Whitney, as sponsor, and Jemmie Benton, as president, led us through a successful year. We entered into a business project— that of running the Junior Tea JJoom, with Edna Earle Harrell as manager. We worked faithfully on this and were rewarded when we were able to give the seniors a banquet which pleased everyone. Three short years, filled with hard work, yet flavored with many pleasures, passed, and we found ourselves seniors. The realization came to us that we were supposed to be dignified, and although we wished to live up to what was expected of us, some of us have not yet succeeded to any great extent. This year has been filled with many things to make us happy, such as the junior-senior banquet, Clarke; and the attendant, Mary Seymour. “The Best Man”, by Eleanor Maud Crane, was presented on May 19, under the direction of Rhodes Holder. The cast George Bradley, the best man, Jesse Odom; Richard Forde, the bridegroom, Wilson Fleetwood; Margaret Gibson, the bride, Lyda Jane Brooks; and Marion Gibson, her sister, Elizabeth Forlbes.

The chief reason for this is, we believe, because they have not realized the necessity of setting aside a certain portion of their income regularly for safe keeping. The time comes in the life of every person when reserve cash is necessary for certain emergencies, or for timely investments.
