(Staff photo by Derrick Armstead) Chowan High classes hold reunion Chance to visit and reminisce brings joy to classmates and their friends, too BY SARAH TREXLER The graduating classes of 1934 35 from the old Chowan.High School held their annual reunion on April 27 at Nixon's Family Res taurant. There were 19 members present. After much greeting of one an other and the introduction of guests, we enjoyed the buffet for which the restaurant is famous. Grace was offered by Carey McNider, 1935 class president. As one by one we told of the past year’s activities and of the aches and pains and the operations that the years bring, each was thankful in his or her own way that we were all together again. This has been a long and happy time for all — especially the 1934 class that organized and made sure that all went well. Grateful thanks go to Mrs. Emmett P. (Margueritte) Jones for being our special pilot through the years — and she still is! Nina Byrum has assisted with this job for the last two years. Margueritte Jones and Sarah Trexler spoke for and lit a candle in memory of Selma Jordan Pr ivott, who left us during the past year. Present for the reunion were: * Class Members: Mr. and Mrs. Emmett Dail; Mr. and Mrs. Carey McNider; Mrs. Marie Hollowell; Mr. and Mrs. Emmett1 P. Jones; Mrs. Sarah Harrell Trexler; Mrs. Ruth Warren; Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Ward; Mrs. Albertha Chappell; and Mrs. Nina Byrum. • Guests: Mrs. Phyllis Moore; Mrs. Pauline Winslow; Mr. and Mrs. Larry Stallings; Mr. and Mrs. Martin Wright.
