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.
We had a wonderful time, all of
us friends for these past 66 years.
Every time we get together, it fee] s
like Christmas morning all over
again! That is what keeps us com
ing back, time after time.
