Invitations to the occasion have been extended in scope to include any church youth, as well as those boys and young men who are members of Royal Ambassador units in the local churches. Pastors, Royal Ambassador counselors, and youth workers in Baptist churches throughout eastern North Carolina are en couraged to promote the event among those with whom they minister. Participants in the “Royal Am bassador/Church Youth Day” should arrive fw registration by 10:00 A.M. on September 17. Thereafter, the group will assem ble for worship, fellowship, and an inspirational message related to particular needs/concerns of church youth. Following hinch in the college cafeteria, all youth and their counselors/chaperones will attend an afternoon football game with the Chowan College Braves hosting their football rivals from Hudson Valley Community Col lege, Troy, New Yoric. Each par ticipant will be charged a fee of $4.00 to cover the cost of program ming and meal. “Each pastor in the region will receive more specific information regarding Royal Am bassador/Church Youth Day in early August,” notes Chowan’s Chaplain Taylor, who is local cam pus coordinator for the event. “Meanwhile, it is the hope of the college administration and the coaching staff that early plans can be made to have good representa tion fr«n many of the churches in eastern North Carolina as we observe this special youth-oriented event in mid-^ptember. ” 50th Anniversary Celebrating their 50th Anniversary during the recent Spring Festival weekend was the Class of 1933. The group returned to the campus to reminisce about their “college days” and to renew friendships. Members returning were Nellis Sample Mercer, Rhodes Holder Pratt, Doris Lawrence Stephenson, and Maywood Modlin Scarborough. The Chowanian salutes these ladies for their love t and support (rf Chowan College over the years. Expressing appreciation for services Mark Krautheim, head resident of West Hall, receives a monogram- med mug and congratulations for a job well done from Dean of Students Clai;ton Lewis. Krautheim, who also served as an assistant fooAall coach, has resigned to accept a similar position at the Univer- s/ty of Tennessee. Dean Lewis expressed “appreciation and gratitude” to Krautheim “for a job well done during his three-year tenure of service at Chowan College, both in the area of Student Development and as an assistant coach of football. He served profes sionally and well." Alumnus assembly speaker M. Marvin Daugherty, right, alumnus, Class of 1970, with degrees from East Carolina University and North Texas State University (Masters), spoke in assembly in April. Dean of Students Clayton Lewis, left, and Director of Development E. Vincent Tilson look at the 1970 edition of the college yearbook when Daugherty was a stu dent at Chowan. Daugherty is now public information director at Beaufort County Community College. “Baptist Bonds” assist needy Baptist students The “Baptist Bond” program enabled forty-nine (49) Baptist students to receive initial financial assistance towards meeting the cost of their college education at Chowan during 1987-88. Initiated during the current school year as an additional means whereby the college could “strengthen Baptist ties with churches affiliated with the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina,” information about the Baptist Bond is made available — periodically — to each pastor of a Bap tist church in friendly cooperation with the Convention and its work. Assistance for Two Years This instrument provides that financial assistance up to the sum of $600 may be awarded to students affiliated with North Carolina Bap tist churches who elect to attend Chowan for up to two years. The terms and conditions of the “bond agreement” provide for the awarding of $100 per semester for four regular semesters, with an ad ditional $100 per semester in the sophomore year for those students who maintain a minimum of a “C” average on all woric attempted. To be in force, the bond must be sign ed on behalf (tf the student by the local church pastor, the President of the College, and the Director of Admissions. Many Chnrches Represented Pastors who signed the bond agreement on behalf of a student who subsequently enrolled at Chowan College represented forty- two (42) different churches, filiated with seventeen (17) of the State’s eighty district associations. Among those associations represented were: Atlantic, Chowan, Columbus, Dan Valley, Eastern, Haywood, Johnston, Mon tgomery, Mt. Zion, New South River, North Roanoke, Pee Dee, Raleigh, Sandy Creek, South Roanoke, West Chowan, and Yates. E^resslng Appreciation Chowan College offers such financial incentive as that available through the “Baptist Bond” agreement as a means of expressing appreciation to the churches for their financial assistance through the Cooperative Program. It is hoped that more and more applicants from Baptist churches may be at tracted to the college through such assistance. MRS. ALVA BOWLING PARKER Death claims Mrs. Alva Parker Mrs. Alva Bowling Parker, 70, former Chowan staff member, died April 12 in a hospital. She was the widow of David L. Parker, Jr., and a Methodist.
