Degree in Business Ed ucation and plans a teaching ca reer. Wanda says, "It is hard to put into a brief statement what Chowan College has meant to me because it involves so many things. I think that the two years of business training received there will compare fa vorably with other institutions offering business courses. As for working on a degree, you have to WORK no matter where you arel" ERNEST W.

H. Rose High School in Greenville, thus completing the last requirement of his degree in business.

"In my years at Chowan, I have accumulated many gripes and criticisms, yet Chowan has to be considered a valuable asset to me and any graduating soph omore, because this college has been the stepping stone, so to speak, to a greater education.

BENFIELD, from Statesville, one-year secretarial, has plans for a position in Greens boro. "Chowan’s Department of Busi ness has given me a l>etter chance of obtaining the position I want. Why?
