ALUMNAE DEPARTMENT
It is with the deepest regret
that we report the death of Mrs.
E. P. Thomas, formerly Miss Mary
G. Mitchell and a graduate of the
Class of ’76, who died at her
home in Cofield, N. C., February
7, 1928.
Mrs. Thomas was originally
from Franklin, N. C., but later
made her home in Cofield, where
she has lived for some time. The
thousand dollars given by Mrs.
Thomas and her daughter, Mary,
to endow the useful arts depart
ment in the library, speaks her
love for her Alma Mater. This
was given in memory of Mrs.
Thomas’ husband, Dr. R. P.
Thomas, former chairman of the
Chowan Board of Trustees.
JOLLY JUNIORS HAVE
WORD FOR THE SOON-
TO-BE NEW PUPILS
To each little nest.
MOLLIE WINBORNE,
Ninth Grade, Murfrees
boro High School.
Dear Soon-to-be College Freshmen,
Of course we who are cham
pions of the Freshmen in general,
could not miss the opportunity of
writing our High School Seniors,
who will so soon be college Fresh
men somewhere. Who are we?
Why do We write you? Well, to
answer the first question, we are
the Jolly Juniors of Chowan. Why
are we writing you? We suspect
you haven’t heard about us, but
we’re positive you’ve heard of the
bold Sophs and their mischievous
pranks. Then, to settle your
doubts concerning us, we are in
terested in you and work with
you to see that nothing harmful
comes from the pranks of the
Sophs. Most assuredly we would
not deprive you of your required
amount of fun. No-sir*ree-bob!
But we are always present when
danger threatens. Why? Be
cause we love you—truly we do.
0, there is nothing like college
life with its variety of fun and
work! You, too, will agree with
us when you come. You are mak
ing your plans to continue your
school work, aren’t you? Fine!
And, bear this in mind, whatever
college you enter, you’ll find that
the Juniors will be your right
hand buddies.
Here’s wishing you a glorious
vacation so that you can start
your school work off next fall
with all the enthusiasm that is
needed for a Freshman.
We are for you,
THE JOLLY JUNIORS.
SUNSET
Day is done,
The golden sun
Is sinking in the West;
The sky once blue
Now drops the dew
Upon the world at rest.
The flowers gay
At the end of day
Drop their heads in rest;
The song birds fly
Through the golden sky
THE WILL; THE WAY
(True Stories)
I left home for Chowan in the
fall of 1925 with $22 and a light
heart. I had written the Presi
dent three months before, asking
for work in the kitchen, dining
room, or corridors—just anything.
He replied that I could have a job
in the dining room which would
cover a little over half my ex
penses. This was a great offer to
a needy student, and I shall ever
be indebted to Chowan for her

help.
My father helped me pay .the
other half of my expenses for the
first year, but at the beginning of
my Sophomore year he said he
could help me but very little more.
This, however, only stirred my
ambition to finish college, but atill
I did not know how I could do it.
A commercial course was offer
ed at Chowan that year for the
first time, and the rates were very
reasonable. I borrowed about
half the money to pay for the
course and had the rest charged
on my regular bill. That course
fitted me to get the place as sec
retary to the Dean. This posi
tion, my work during the summer,
and borrowing enabled me to con
tinue in school without assistance
from my father.
So far, I have carried the regu
lar work for the A. B. degree,
have passed every course, and was
awarded the Bailey Essay Medal
in May, 1927.
The coast is clear now, and in
1929 I expect to get my degree.
There is a way, where there is a
will.

Among those visiting at the
college Sunday, April 8, were Mrs.
Newland, formerly Miss Lizzie W.
Biddle, a^ graduate of ’81, and
Mrs. Bryan, formerly Miss Alice
Brown, who was at Chowan in ’74,
both of New Bern, N. C.
It will be of interest to many
to learn that Miss Clara McLean
of Charlotte, N- C., a graduate of
the class of ’94, has announced
her candidacy for the Senate. We
are hoping that she may be suc
cessful.
