The graduating class of ’22 is for the most part scattered over the state, teaching various subjects.
Miss Foyd Bridgers, a graduate in piano, is teaching piano in the Crisp High School near Tarboro, N.C.
Miss Minnie Dunning is spending the winter at her home in Aulander. She graduated here in home economics.
Miss Marie Griffin, who received her B.S. degree here, is teaching at Lumber Bridge, near Lumberton, N.C.
Miss Emma Riddick Parker, an A.B. graduate, is teaching English and History in the Severn High School. Miss Parker is doing fine work over there and is liked very much.
Miss Bessie Jordan is teaching the third, fourth and fifth grades in the Severn school. Miss Jones graduated here in voice and has a very promising voice. She comes over once a week to continue her vocal training with Miss Della Latham, her former teacher.
Miss Genevieve Taylor is teaching second grade work in the Clinton grammar school. Miss Taylor graduated here in vocal.
Miss Elizabeth Turnley, graduate here in expression, is now at the Louisville Training School. Miss Turnley is delighted with the school and her work. And especially she is attached to the House Beautiful, which creates such a wonderful spirit of love, unselfishness and Christian living among the girls. She writes that there are some fine girls there, from other lands, as well as our won. Miss Turnley is indeed fortunate to be able to attend a school that stands for the highest and best Christian ideals, as does the Louisville Training School. Chowan has had quite a few girls to take up missionary work, which shows that the Christian influence here leads to higher things.
We are sorry to report the death of Mrs. W.P. Shaw of Winton on September 14. Mrs. Shaw was in the class of 1864.
Mrs. I.B. Lake, class of 1854, sent a contribution for the library. She is the oldest living alumnae, having graduated in the second class at Chowan. Mrs. Lake is the mother of Dr. James L. Lake, professor of physics at Wake Forest College. We are so glad to see the spirit and enthusiasm which is shown in the interest of our new library.
