Meditation
Trust in the Lord with all thine shall direct thy paths. Be not
heart; and lean not unto thine wise in thine own eyes: fear the
own understanding. In all thy Lord, and depart from evO. (Pro
ways acknowledge him, and he verbs 3:5-7)
Thanks to Our
Benefactors
Chowan College, founded in 1848
and reopened in 1949, has come to
mean a great deal to the people
of Northeastern North Carolir.la.
These people have contributed
generously to the college and have
watched it grow to its peak of
enrollment in 1952. Without this
support, the college could not hope
to operate.
These contributions are greatly
appreciated. The coUege is deeply
indebted to the people of North
Carolina and Virginia, and others
who have aided this institution. We,
here at Chowan, hope that we can
merit the confidence they have
placed in us.
Welcome,
Freshmen!
Welcome, Freshmen
From the sophomores to the
freshmen—a hearty welcome to
Chowan College. May these hal
lowed walls echo to you the
warmth, happiness, and friendship
which we as freshmen received.
hhe tall, stately columns greet
you; the lovely pine drive wel
comes you as it has others for
many years; the old bell peals
forth its tidings; and these sacred
and historical grounds lay as a
welcome mat to each of you.
Chowan needs you to fulfill its
dreams and aspirations. As you
accept this challenge, we, the
".ophomore class of Chowan Col
lege, • wish for you the very
best, and we are so happy that
jou have come our way.
Obey the Rules
The rules of our College were
not made primarily to restrict the
students or to control their ac
tivities. These rules were set by
men and women of integrity, who
knew the needs of the students and
analyzed these needs. They were
made for the benefit and welfare of
each student. To have an enjoyable
college year and to get the most out
of college life each student shoulH
obey the rules and do it with
enthusiasm.
In life, we find a code of ethics
set by those who have lived be
fore us.If we live the right kind
of life, we follow these standards
without question. The same prira-
ciple is applied to these rules here
at Chowan. There is no substitute
for right. Let us do the right and
obey the rules which are set for
us. In so doing we will find a
r.ew enjoyment in our college life
and be better prepared for the
high standards set for life itself

Sportsmanship
Here it is another year, another
October and once again football
season is in full swing. Our team
has been launched iu what we hope
will be a very successful season.
By speaking of a ‘Successful
Season”, we do mot limit this to
merely the football team but to
the entire Student body.
“How can we help our squad
be a Success?” you may ask.
Although you are not a real mem
ber of the team, you are a part
of Chowan College. We stand
solidly behir.Hd our players, cheer
ing them on to victory at every
game. All of us together make up
a force that helps them go for
ward, chins up, to meet new com
petition.
Therefore, it is up to us to keep
their Spirits up. Rejoice with them
in victory; be understanding in
defeat; but always be good sports.
Take losses in good spirit. Don’t
jeer at the opposing team or ridi
cule the players. Avoid unnecessary
roughness.
By doing these things, we can
make this season a really success
ful one. Lets’ get behind our boys
all the way, show them that, win
or lose, we will do our share.
Lets’ do all we can to make this
a successful season by giving the
team our loyal support. But re
member above aU else, “Be Good
Sports.”

aspect, is great, but mainly great

WHILE THE YEARS have
brought about many changes in
curriculum, admir istration, faculty
and customs, Chowan College to
day is the same as 20 years ago
when T received from the hands
of Pr( iident W. B. Edwards my
diploma nnd A. C. degree.
THE COLUMNS building which
stands with its beauty and soli
darity as a monument to the early
promoters of Chowan who had
vision and amazingly good judg
ment in its construction 104 years
ago, is unchanged; the smaller
buildings are the same; the cam
pus, with the trees that beautify
throughout all the changing sea
sons, the shrubs and flowers, is
little changed from those days so
well remembered by students of
my tim°.
THE SPIRIT of the institution—
the spirit of dedication, of achieve
ment, of growth, which carries
over into the life of home churches
and communities of the students—
is as it was in the days of old.
The spirit of love arjd fellowship
among the students, and the per
sonal interest the faculty has in
the students, remains the same.
A small institution with a great
purpose and a heart of gold.
IT IS GOOD to be back at
Chowan, to have a part in its
revival and growth, and with a
desire to render a real service to
students, the community, the
area, in every possible way.
AS I TRAVELLED in the moun
tains last week-end, going back to
Murphy to sell my newspaper
business, I was thrilled at the
spectacular display o fcoloring,
especially the brilliant reds and
golds, and commend to anyone
who loves beauty and the moun
tains a trip to see them at this
time.
WE WELCOME back for
Founders’ Day the students who
have lived on the campus or
studied here, and all the friends
who come. We want them to feel
that this is their college and ex
perience the warmth and friendli
ness that always have characteriz
ed our relationships.
ROADSIDE stands loaded with
apples, grapes, pumpkins and other
produce are seen often in Western
North Carolina. One enterprising
family educated all the children by
selling pumpkins. I brought back
to Chowan some pumpkins for our
Hallowe’en and Thanksgiving deco
rations and some pies if our die
tician, Mrs. Agnes Wood, has time
to get them baked.
