SENIOR NOTES
It’s great to be back on the cam
pus after a pleasant vacation, but
what changes! The girls who left
Chowan in May as Jolly Juniors
have actually disappeared and in
exchange there are twenty-one
dignified Seniors.
The senior class president, Rho
des Holder, is predicting much
good work from this year’s upper
classmen, for vrith twenty-one
members what is there that can
not be accomplished?
ANOTHER WAY TO HELP
CHOWAN COLLEGE
To the Friends of Chowan College:
Speaking in behalf of Chowan
College, I realize that you have
contributed freely, as individuals,
and through your churches, to the
upkeep of our institution and I
want to thank you for your gener
ous support. Without your sup
port and cooperation the work we
are engaged in could not go on;
with your continued support the
work can and will be carried on
with increased vigor and effective
ness.
This is not an appeal for finan
cial help. I have taken this means
to tell you of an unusual oppor
tunity to secure money for our col
lege. To avail ourselves of this
opportunity, however, we need
your assictance.
Through the cooperation of the
makers of Octagon Soap Products,
Borden’s Premium Brand Milks,
and Kirkman Soap Products we
will be able to obtain this money.
The companies require only that
we collect the necessary number
of premium coupons and they will
pay us one fifth cent each for
them. The coupons required are
many more than we can save at
the college; therefore, we appeal
to you. Many of you have coupons
on hand; will you not contribute
them to this worthy cause? Ma
ny others may be buying these
brands of soaps and milks and not
saving the coupons. On behalf of
Chowan College, I ask you to cut
out the coupon from every soap
and milk wrapper that comes into
your home. 'ITiere are six Octa
gon Soap products, ten brands of
Borden’s MitSs, and six Kirkman
5oap products. Each product has
a premium coupon. Save these
coupons for Chowan College.
I know that many of you, who
may have felt that you could not
contribute financially to our sup
port, will be glad to respond to
this appeal for premium coupons.
Send in your coupons as early as
possible, in quantities large or
f>mall, to Miss Rhodes Holder, Cho
wan College, Murfreesobro, N. C.
RHODES HOLDER, Chairman.
societies, no satisfactory arrange
ment could be devised whereby
there would be an equal division of
the men members. The women’s
societies would not be satisfied,
and the spirit between the two
would be anything except friendly
rivalry as is now the case. Espe
cially would this be true on Socie
ty Day. Moreover, the admission
of men into the women’s societies
would set aside all our precedents.
In other colleges and universities
the societies do not number both
sexes in their membership. The
men can easily organize a society
of their own which will become a
vital part of the college. The prob
lem of a meeting place can be solv
ed temporarily by the use of the
small cottage formerly used for
the Junior tea room.
TO DOROTHY
“Would you consider accepting
the sponsorship of the Senior
Class?” is somewhat the nature of
the question which Rhodes Holder
asked Miss Clara Brown last week.
Here’s to our new sponsor and
may she find pleasure in her un
dertaking.

Wednesday morning, September

Mrs. Sue Lawrence returned to
her home recently from Victoria
where she had been visiting rela
tives.
To me you are a sea nymph
Who comes from out the foam
Of silver colored waters
That is your pretty home.
A graceful, lovely creature
With flowing golden hair
That seems to haunt the waters
And keep my boatman there.
Often willi your gea mates
You lure me on and on
With scores of dreamy melodies
From night to early dawn.
When you sink beneath the waves
Sometimes I see you wrapped in
sleep
Reclining on a pearly couch
Down there within the deep.

PERSEVERANCE AND
PATIENCE REQUISITES
Ruskin says that education is a
painful, continual, and difficult
work. Thig being true, we realize
that in order to secure an educa
tion a person must possess much
perseverance and patience. He
must be willing to work hard with
out seeinjj immediate results. And,
since nothing worthwhile is ac
complished without a good begin
ning, we should be very careful
to bend all our energies in the
right direction as we undertake
the duties of the new scholastic
year. Are we doing our best to
master each day’s problems and
difficulties? The success or failure
of all our efforts this year will b«
largely determined by the founda
tions we lay during these first
days. The daily accomplishments
of the assigned tasks will form
sturdy, substantial foundations on
which to build a well-rounded ed-
ucatioru
SOCIETIES NOT TO BE
OPEN TO MEN STUDENTS
'The question “Are men students
eligible for membership in the Ala
thenian and Lucalian literary So
cieties” haa been asked frequent
ly since the opening of the collee
year. Always the answer has bera
an emphatic “No”. Men studerits
argue that they would get more of
the Chowan spirit and that they
could have a better chance to de
velop their literary abilties if they
could join these societies. They
ask, too, why they should be ex
cluded from only this phase of col
lege life. Many women students
agree with them. We contend, how
ever, that the only log^ical solution
is the organization of a third so
ciety for men only. If men were
to become members of two existinj;
