Mr. Charles W. Phillips needs no identification for 99% -plus of the alumnae of the Woman's College. But, perhaps, the time, place, and situation of the cover photograph should be explained. At the Alumnae Meeting follow- ing the Reunion Luncheon we honored the members of the faculty who were retiring. Mr. Charlie, for 27 years Director of Public Relations, was among the group. Our gift to him was a Kennedy Rocker straight from the now-famous P & P Chair Company in Asheboro. He sat right down and went to rocking. But the rocking did not last long. July 1, his retirement date, came and went but he is still at work at the College. And the Chancellor has announced that Mr. Phillips will have an on- campus office in the fall and from now on. Maybe, though, he won't feel that he has "to punch in" so rehgiously.

A Yardstick by which We might do We, to Measure Ourselves. That's what I thoughi as I listened to Mary Vann Wilkins' speeclj delivered on behalf of her classmates on thi occasion of their graduation. My thoughil continue as I read the speech. This brand-ncj alumna is wondering how capable she and hti classmates are "to transmit the culture" . . i how well they will "educate their families.:] Our answering the questions which she is aslj ing somehow seems an apt way to evaluate what we have done with our capabilities anl with our education. To stop in our hecti' everv'day race to read and jxMider what Maij Vann has said somehow seems as imfwrtari to us who are not so young as to those whl have just finished their undergraduate traininjl (Mary Vann, by the way, was co-recipient c! the Weil Fellowship.

Commencement 1912
The commencement of 1912 at the State Normal College will long be remembered with delight by those who were fortunate enough to attend it. The gods gave just the right kind of weather — neither hot nor cold, nor rainy. More alumnae than ever before in the history of the college returned to gladden the heart of their alma mater. And then the commencement in itself was one of unusual interest and pleasure.
For it began with the wonderfully beautiful May Day Fete . . . Just here we wish to say that the alumnae can not find words strong enough to express their appreciation of the May Day Fete, which far surpassed their "wildest dreams", and their commenda- tion of the masterful work of Mrs. Sharpc and the other members of the faculty who assisted her, and their admiration of the beautiful way in which the students per- formed every part in the program. The players, the dancers and finally the evening hymn thrilled the thousands of spectators vnth joy, but the hearts of the alumnae were throbbing with additional joy — the joy that came from seeing their alma mater undertake a big thing and carry it through faultlessly! And our regret is that the alumnae who were absent cannot realize the vastness and the beauty of our May Day Fete, though we talk about it for the next decade.
Before eleven o'clock on Sunday more people than could possibly be seated were seeking admission to the auditorium to hear the annual sermon. . . . The congregation . . . listened to a beautiful, powerful ser- mon on faith by the Rev. H. D. C. Mach- lachlan, of Richmond, Va. He left as a motto for the graduating class the Latin word "Adsum," I am here . . .
1912
Sunday evening the Y. \V. C. A. sermon was delivered in Peabody Park by the Rev. J. D. Paxton, of Lynchburg, \'a. Dr. Paxton chose as his text, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy mind." "Mind love," said he, "is somewhat different from heart love, for the heart sometimes loves with reason, sometimes ^\^thout. The mind is capable of knowledge. To know a person is to understand him; and to know and to understand a person enable us to appreciate, to love, to sen-e him." ... At this service the students repeated the evening hymn with which the May Day Fete was closed.
Monday morning, as usual, was given to the alumnae. From ten to eleven o'clock an informal social meeting was held in the Cornelian Society hall. At eleven the business meeting was called to order by the president, Annie Martin Mclver, '05, who presided over the meeting with charming dignity and grace. The president introduced the speaker of the day, Maude Broadaway Goodwin, 93, (who) delivered an interesting address (on the his- tory of the Alumnae Association). A nom- inating committee consisting of Em Austin, Fodie Buie Kenyon, and Mary Jarman, brought in the following names: For presi- dent, Annie Martin Mclver, '05; for vice- president, Hester Struthers; for new members of the board, Nettie Allen, '95, Laura Weill, '10, and Lelia White, '11; for auditing com- mittee, Hattie Berry, '97, Minnie Mclver Brown, and Julia Dameron, '98. The com- mittee's report was accepted and the nominees unanimously elected. The question of chang- ing the annual fee was then discussed, and the decision was that the fee shall remain . . . since we hope thereby to have more mem- bers. At this phase of the meeting President Foust was asked to speak to the alumnae. After welcoming the alumnae, he discussed the Mclver Loan Fund. He said that we must raise this fund and that we can raise it if we only have faith. Then he talked of the approaching summer session — especially of homemakers' week, and what it may ac- complish for the women of the state. At twelve o'clock the Seniors were ushered into the hall and made members of the Associa- tion. In her address of welcome the president called upon the class of 1912 to help the alumnae stand for high, genuine scholarship.
May the editor also ask that we alumnae keep our minds and our hearts open for the higher things that produce rich minds and noble characters, It seems to us that there is probably danger just now in North Car- olina of devoting our enc-rgies too much to 2 the prac-tical, material side of education. The
father too often places his son for an edu- cation where he can be fitted most guickly to make money rather than where he can be trained to solve the intellectual and spiritual problems of life. Too many mothers feel that their daughters should be taught to cook and sew so that they can minister to the physical well being of their families rather than to become acquainted with the great spirits of earth, the great poets who can set their souls on fire, who can develop within them great minds and great souls which still forever bless all with whom they associate. Are we in danger of forgetting the true aim of education, or do we feel that we can attain that aim when a great part of the child's and youth's time is devoted to in- dustrial subjects? This is a time, in our opinion, when the alumnae are needed, yea, needed sorely, to keep the pendulum from swinging from the purely industrial, and we trust the alumnae will prove faithful in the fight.
After the reception of the Seniors, a rising vote of thanks was extended by the alumnae to Mrs. Sharpe and the other members of the faculty and to the students for the ex- cellent May Day Fete. The Association then adjourned, and the faculty and the alumnae formed a line and went to the dining hall, where a luncheon was served by the Juniors. When they were seated, the students sang their college song. ... At the close of the luncheon the Seniors sang their class song. On account of the large number of alumnae present, the time of the luncheon was filled with delightful reminiscences, and faculty and alumnae left the dining hall with the feeling that the reunion of 1912 was the pleasantest one in their experience.
One delightful feature of the commence- ment occassion was the "English tea", which was served by the class of 1912 on Monday afternoon on the campus in front of the Administration Building. Tliis tea was served to all of the commencement guests, the faculty and entire student body. No spot on the campus is more beautiful than the slope and depression in front of the Administration Building, directly in front of Mrs. Mclver's porch, from five to seven o'clock, on a sum- mer afternoon, and it was here that the Seniors assembled to receive their guests. Wafers' and tea were served and all present found the occasion yery delightful. It was especially enjoyed by the faculty, as affording an opportunity to meet the alumnae and former students and especially the parents of the members of the Senior Class. TTiis was
one of the most pleasing of the social gather- ings of the commencement, if one may draw her conclusions from the peals of laughter, the jolly voices, the college songs and old time melodies that floated forth.
On Monday evening an enjoyable concert was given by the students of the music department. After the concert, punch was served in the society halls to the guests as they were leaving.
By 10;30 o'clock Tuesday the auditorium, was crowded with people who had assembled for the closing exercises of commencement After the students, the alumnae, the facult> and the Seniors had marched into the hall, the chorus . . . sang delicately and expressive ly . . . Next the Rev. W. E. Abernathy,: pastor of Spring Garden Methodist ChurchJ led in prayer. Then I>r. Foust presented the speaker of the day. Dr. Wilbur F. Tillett of Vanderbilt University, who delivered s' scholarly address on "A Nation's GreatesI Asset." He asserted that the cultured mora manhood and womanhood of a state are it; most precious asset, and that this asset maj be obtained by the state's giving that kinc of education which not only pours knowledge into the head and imparts information tc the mind, but also creates a love of service stirs the soul by giving it a vision of th< world's many and great needs; for it is th( stirred soul that does things and only tha soul which is itself stirred can arouse the sou of others. In conclusion, in speaking of tht great work that the State Normal College i doing for North Carolina, he said; "For i has not only trained women for service, bu the record of the graduates who have gou' out from its halls shows that it has alsc inspired a large number of their graduate to a life of noble and self sacrificing service for the state which they have abundan reasons for honoring and loving. . . ."
The Constitution of the United State and of North Carolina were then presente( to the Senior Class by Judge J. D. Murphy of Asheville, who said: "Be it yours to in crease economic efficiency, to train the head the hand, and the heart, to train them fc social service, to stir the consciences of men to stir the manhood of this great old con monwealth of ours."
Following the presentation of the constiti tions the Rev. E. K. McLarty, pastor c West Market Church, presented the Senioi with Bibles. Then President Foust had th pleasure of addressing the largest class i the history of the college. He commende the Seniors for the manner in which the had conducted themselves throughout the college course, awarded their degrees and ser forth the fifty young women to do their shai in the educational work of our state.
bmmencement 1962
As "the gods gave just the right kind of weather" for Commencement in 1912, so "they" did in 1962 . . . that is, up until about 5:05 on Saturday afternoon. At that point in the day, just after Class Day exercises on Front Campus, the sky emptied itself in torrents, dampening the guests' going-in and coming-out of Chan- cellor and Mrs. Singletary's reception in Elliott Hall. Again on Sunday morning the rain came. This time the graduating exercises were over and the going-out which got damp- ened was from the Greensboro Memorial Coliseum.
Per usual, Commencement Weekend ac- tivities at the Woman's College began on Friday morning when 114 members of the Commercial Class were presented certificates and wished-well by Chancellor Singletary in exercises in the Elliott Hall Ballroom. Elaine Caldwell of Davidson, everlasting president of the 1962 Commercial Class, was the elected spokesman for the class.
SALLY (POWELL) LUCKENBACH '55, Alumnae Commencement Chair- man, and her committee took their cue for the arrangements which they made on behalf of the returning alumnae from the varicolored butterfly pins which were used to pin on the traditional and ever-necessary name tags. Butterflies in red, green, blue, lavendar, and yellow (for the Old Guard) were affixed to bulletin boards, directional signs, luncheon napkin-rings. Gingham but- terflies in class colors hovered over tremen- dous construction-paper daisies on the walls in Coleman Gymnasium, scene of the Reunion Luncheon served at noon on Saturday.
Working with Sally on "the butterflied and daisied plans and arrangements" were: Keith (Jones) Turrentine '60 and Beverly (Campbell) Rollins '56 (favors), Carolyn (Falls) Grove '55 (luncheon decorations), Carolyn (Gravely) Clodfelter '55 (luncheon food service), Jane (Hawk) Godwin '51 (pub- licity), Carolyn (Earnhardt) Oden '55 (regis- tration), Judy (Rosenstock) Hyman '56 (tickets), Nancy (Wilkerson) Jones '57 (hostesses), and Doris (Huffines) Bernhardt '52 (socials).
.\]uirinae (from as far away as Alaska) began arriving before registration arrange- ments in the \'irginia Dare Room were quite completed. Their eagerness overshot the 4:00 announced beginning. They continued com- ing until midnight on Friday and picked-up again on Saturday morning before 8 : 30 and continued throughout the day.
Continuing the plan which was initiated last year, two members of the College faculty were invited to present lectures prepared especially for the alumnae. On Friday eve- ning Dr. Warren Ashby, head of the Philos- oph\' Department, spoke. And on Saturday morning Dr. Juanita Kreps, who was Bryan Professor of Finance during last session, spoke.
Following the Ashby lecture on Friday night and until they were run-out so the Alumnae House could be closed, alumnae gathered in the Vuginia Dare Room for refreshments and long-delayed conversations. These conversations continued officially at a three hour-long Coffee Hour in the Elliott Hall Ballroom on Saturday morning, begin- ning at 9:00. (Unofficially conversations were said to have continued among those who spent the night in the residence halls until the wee small hours between night and morning.)
What with chairs and table-space a-plenty for everyone and with roped-off aisles into the gym (to prevent a repeat of last year's riot) and with an elegant buffet "spread" prepared by the members of the Women's Society for Christian Service of the Geth- semane Methodist Church, the Reunion Luncheon seemed to work out better than ever before.
Following lunch, while everyone was seated, the annual Commencement Meeting of the Alumnae Association was called to order. (The meeting's proceedings are discussed on on the ASSOCIATIONAL BUSINESS page.) Following this meeting the masses separated as classes for individual meetings in the fresh- man residence halls' parlors. (These meetings are reported on in the REUNIONS section 4 of this magazine.)
1962
c
L.\SS DAY, expertly planned by chairman Nancy Hewett of Greens- boro, differed in one very notable respect from similar exercises in past years. The Class of 1962 somewhat altered the traditional pattern of electing from among themselves eight outstanding seniors: they decided to elect twenty of their number who had been outstanding though not necessarily always in "the limelight." The identity of the twenty was known only to Miss Dorothy Davis, class chairman, and Mrs. Anne Fulton Carter, class adviser, (they counted the votes) until Class Day afternoon. Just before the Changing-of-the-Colors part of the program. Miss Davis announced the names of and Mrs. Carter pinned an Alumnae Association daisy on the following: Judy Beale, Jan Bivens, Jane Bradley (daughter of Linda Stacy Bradley '27), Connie Coltrane, Sarah Cooke, Sarah Ebert, Louise Efird (daughter of X'earl Livengood Efird '29), Nancy Hun- nings, Barbara Phillips (daughter of Lela Wade Phillips '20), Ginny Seaver, Peggy Sink (daughter of Betty Griesinger Sink '36), Peggy Smith, Nancy Swicegood (daughter of Mytrle Rose Shepherd Swicegood '35x), Katie Jo Torrence, Mary Vann Wilkins (daughter of Clara Gill Wilkins '27), Sue Williams, Bronna Willis, Jane Wilson (daughter of Annie Lois Hancock Wilson '31x) and Beverly Wright (daughter of Sara Whiteside Wright '39x). The "outstandings" got named and the colors got changed just before the rain began to fall. The audience, seniors and their parents and friends and alumnae, hurried into the shelter of Elliott Hall and the Singletarys' reception. For the pleasure of the College guests on Saturday evening the College Choir and the Greens- boro Orchestra gave a joint-concert in Aycock Auditonum.
The Governor of North Carolina, Terry Sanford, and the President of the Consoli- dated University, William Friday, led the official delegation into the Memorial Coli- seum for the graduating exercises on Sunday morning. Dr. John A. Redhead, minister of the First Presbyterian Church in Greens- boro, delivered the baccalaureate sermon: "Is Religion an Elective?" Governor Sanford, President Friday, and Chancellor Singletary addressed themselves to the graduates, and in turn, Mary Vann Wilkins spoke for the graduates. (Her remarks are printed elsewhere in this issue).
Dr. Lenski
The College awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters to Miss Lois Lenski of Tarpon Springs, Florida, an author and illustrator of children's books, with the following citation; "LOIS LENSKI, author, illustrator, humanitarian, recipient of the Newberry Medal in 1946 and of the National Child Study Association Award in 1948, is known to thousands of children, parents, teachers and librarians in the United States and throughout the world.
"Her works have been published in Euro- pean, Asian, and Latin American countries and her regional stories have attracted the attention of specialists and scholars interested in folklore and dialect.
"Her interest in the Woman's College is attested to by her presentation to the College Library of a collection of first editions of her works, and of a valuable collection of papers, letters, and illustrations.
"Lois Lenski, for your distinguished work in the field of children's literature, for your warm and sympathetic feelings for and descriptions of North Carolina, and for your interest in and contributions to the Woman's College Library, by vote of the Faculty and that of the Trustees of the University of North Carolina, I (Chancellor Singletary) confer upon you the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters with all its rights and privileges."
In the final segment of Commencement Weekend proceedings four-hundred and fifty- five members of the Class of 1962 received diplomas and a status-change from students to alumnae.
Mary Vann Wilkins '62 of her classmates
ANYONE who presumes to speak for four hundred women must surely consider herself endowed with extraordinary perception. However, the members of the graduating class do have several commonly shared thoughts. It is in terms of our common reaction to the prospect of commencement that I wish to speak.
All semester many of us have been performing rituals for the last time: writing our last paper, hearing our last lecture, taking our last exam. It must seem that our recog- nizing these as last things tacitly admits of our eagerness to be through with it all and at the same time our reluctance to leave the shelter.
Our reluctance stems, it seems to me, from a variety of sources; and one of you expressed it well: "It is sad to leave the fostering care of an institution which has given you so much, but other experiences clamor for attention. So goes life."
My concern today is not with bidding fond farewell or with challenging my fellow graduates-'to-be to go out and conquer the wide worlds which lie just outside our reach. Rather, I am concerned with that quotation we so often prostitute and with its applicability to our educational process here at the Woman's College. When Charles Mclvcr said,
k "Educate a man and you educate an individual; educate a S woman and you educate a family," he knew not how sensibly nor how sensitively he would speak to our generation. And, further, he failed to comprehend the widening circle of influence which the educated woman might have.
Max Lemer in America as a Civilization speaks of the dual obligation of education in the American culture: to transmit the cultural heritage and to provide each generation with the intellectual and moral tools for asserting itself, calculating the forces which confront it, and making the necessary changes. Further, Lerner speaks of the educated American woman as the transmitter of that cultural heritage. In terms of Lerner and Mclver, I ask our capabilities as transmitters. And I warn you that this is no empty question.
What will we transmit?
What are our capabilities? Have all of us a common body of knowledge which is both capable and worthy of transmission? In other words, in our concern with courses, have we in any way achieved some semblance of education? Have we been able to sense beneath the self-conscious phrases of the classroom lecturer a dedication to widening the applicability of knowledge and to enriching its field — and have we appreciated this? Have we been enough goaded by our mentors and ourselves so that we were forced to search beneath the most immediately apparent facts for the kernel of truth? Have we developed an insatiable curiosity to know about other people — and about ourselves? Have we been encouraged and even forced to the desire to contribute some addition to the body of scholarship common to our culture? And, do we in any way feel ourselves responsible
Wilkins '62 continued
to transmit the heritage which we have been privileged to receive — and to enlarge upon it. And, finally, have we developed both the self-assurance and the humility to enable us to carry and to pass on effectively our feeling for the romance and the excitement of an education in the liberal arts?
It seems to me that the basic rationale of a general education lies in the discovery of one's identity. An appro- priate story is told about a famous Harvard professor of geology. To the chagrin of most of his colleagues on the facultv, this professor repeatedly resisted voting to award a top scholarship to a certain student. And just as repeatedly, this professor was reminded that this student had an all-A record. Still, the approval was not forthcoming. Finally, another professor put the question squarely at a faculty meet- ing, "\VTiy are you so set against this man who has such a superb record?" The answer was succinct: "I am voting against this student because of his cantankerous whatlessness."
Without a "whoness" as opposed to "whatlessness" all our actions must be doomed to half mrasures and failures. For without comprehending who we are and why we act, our voices are muted and ineffectual. Mind you, I am not dis- cussing our images as we present them in villager blouses and camel hair coats. I rather ask how we see ourselves: if we relate to other people solely on the basis of our habits of dress and activity, how empty those relationships must be — and how insipid we must be — and how tragically ironic our roles as culture bearers. And yet, I do not despair and wish to eliminate the widening circles of influence merely because the pressure to conform makes uncommon activity suspect. I would not limit my scope as did Matthew Arnold:
Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light.
No certitude, nor peace, nor help from pain . . .
Because I believe that the most exciting time to be alive is now — if we are truly alive. Our generation may see the breaching of the gap between the specialization of the sciences and the generalizations of the humanities. Our generation may see the barriers between medicine and the most dread crippling disabiliries brought crashing down. Oui generation may see the new nations grow from colonialism to responsible government and take their places in a com- monwealth of nations. And our generarion may see either a growing recognition of the positive values of East and West, or we may be consumed in the war which ■will end war. You notice that I have said "see". My question is wheth ^ or not we will in some manner jjarticipate creatively.
It seems to me that we might ask in terms of what we have \ done in the last four years — we might ask whether we are • become mechanics with skill but no power of synthesis or dealers in the humanities with too few skills to participate ■ effectively in a culture which demands skill end a philosophi- cal basis for that skill. My question is whether or not we : know the reason why — and whether or not we can act once : we know that reason.
I do not know the answer. It lies in each of us. And ! I realize that the question is tardy: it is one we should have asked ourselves sooner. But only recently have we discovered I the question and the necessity for asking it. We have asked ! it and realized that our abilities to answer it are computed ' and will only become apparent as we go about our appointed tasks in the ways peculiar to each of us.
It appears that our questions will be answered in our- selves; whether we choose the country club over the League of Women Voters; whether we correspond with the society column or with the public press; whether we read the "Ladies' Home Journal" or the "New Republic."
These are the choices we must make. And if we are to be creditable bearers of our cultural heritage, we can, we must, travel with Robert Frost.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood. And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked dovra one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim. Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Thou as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference.
This photograph of Mrs. Morris is the editor's choice.
It was not taken during the just-past Comment^ment Weekend
but during the 1959 Commencement proceedings
when Mrs. Morris was presented an honorary degree by the College.
This photograph, taken as she talked with a marshal,
is more like Miss Emma Lewis than those taken
this year at Alumnae Service Award presentation time.
THE ALUMNAE SERVICE AWARD is presented to alumnae of the Woman's Col- lege who by their unselfish and faithful service have made outstanding contributions to the advancement of the College. Tlie award is given in such years as a qualified nominee is presented. An Alumnae Service Award Committee, appointed by the presi- dent of the Alumnae Association, receives nominations and presents them to the Board of Trustees of the Association. The Board selects the award winners. The Committee prepares the citation which is presented when the recipient is announced.
Alumnae Service Award III
Emma Lewis Speight Morris
Citation
To one who has given some sixty years of devoted service to her College and Community:
EMMA LEWIS SPEIGHT MORRIS,
it is with a feeling of pride for our College and the Alumnae Association that we present to you the third Alumnae Service Award.
Emma Lewis Speight Morris was graduated from the Woman's College twice: in 1900 and in 1905. Three times jshe was elected to serve as President of the Alumnae |Association. During her presidencies she worked with Dr. jMcIver, Dr. Foust, and Dr. Jackson. She has been a member jof the Alumnae Board of Trustees, and she was the first ipresident of the Old Guard.
A former teacher in the public schools in her native Tarboro and in Greensboro, she was the founder and volunteer [director of the Night School for Adults in Salisbury.
Appointed in 1931 as a member of the State Commission on Adult Illiteracy, she continued her commission service under three successive governors. She has also been a member of a number of national committees on adult education.
The first woman named to the Salisbury City School Board, she was a charter member and for 27 years chairman of the Rowan County Library Board.
In 1951, Salisbury named her Woman-of-the-Year m recog- nition of "her untiring selfless devotion to the civic better- ment . . . and social welfare" of her community and its people. In 1956, Catawba College, in conferring upon her an honorary degree, recognized her as one "who comprehends her trust and to the same keeps faithful with a singleness of aim." In 1959, the Woman's College awarded her the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters in recognition of her dedication to the cause of learning by word, deed, and good example.
In presenting this award today, we the Alumnae of the Woman's College rise in tribute and respect to Emma Lewis Speight Morris' SERVICE ... it has truly been her motto. 7
THE ALUMNAE SCHOLARS
IN ORDER THAT the alumnae-financed scholarships which were authorized for the 1962-63 session might be awarded before the end of the 1961-62 session, an Alumnae Scholars Program was devised during February and March. An Alumnae Scholars Committee and six area com- mittees were organized so that the provisions of the program might be implemented during April and Mav. At the Commencement Meeting of the Alumnae Association the results of the committees' work were announced.
The recipients of the 1962-63 alumnae scholarships — the FIRST ALUMNAE SCHOLARS— have been selected as follows: (1) Mary Ellen Guffy of Norwood, (2) Barbara Logan of Mooresboro, (3) Carolyn Parfitt of Durham, and (4) Joan Sharp of Fayetteville.
( 1 ) Mary Ellen, a Narional Merit Scholarship finalist, was valedictorian of the Senior Class at Norwood High School. Previously she had been cited for having the highest scholarship average in her class during her sophomore and junior vears. She was national runner-up from North Car- olina in the National Council of Teachers of English com- petition, and she was ranked among the top ten French I students in North Carolina (in 1961) by the American Association of Teachers of French. A member of the Beta Club, she was active in her school's extra-curricular program as well as in the youth organization of her church. Her intentions now are to study French and to teach after she is graduated. She has two sisters, one of whom, Owen, is a rising senior at the Woman's College.
(2) Barbara was a member of the Beta Club at her school. As a high school freshman, she was elected president of her class. She served also as president of the Glee Club and Art Editor of the annual. She was honored by being named Assistant Chief Marshal; she also received the school's chemistrv award. She is considering several courses of studv at the moment: psychology, language, secretarial administra- tion, and science. She has three sisters and three brothers.
( 3 ) Carolyn, who ranked first in her class at Northern High School in Durham County, was editor of her school newspaper for two vears. A member of the National Honor Society, she was Chief Marshal, a member of the Knights :ind Ladies Honor Society, the recipient of the school's scholarship medal for two years, and a selected representative to the Southern Interscholastic Press Association meering. She plans to major in English and to teach. She has one sister and one brother.
(4) Joan's classmates in Fayetteville selected her as the girl "most likely to succeed." A member of the Honor Society, she served as president of the Future Teachers Club and as vice-president of the Literary Club. She was presented the Underwood Typing Award. She plans to study biology with emphasis on teaching and pre-medicine, hoping first to teach and later to become a physician.

SELECTING these Scholars was a difficult and com- plicated undertaking. As indicated above, the mechan- ics were handled by a number of committees whose members were appointed by Alumnae President Adelaide Holderness.
The over-all committee, the Alumnae Scholars Commit- tee, made the final decisions. Jane (Harris) Armfield '61 of Greensboro served as the Alumnae Scholars Committee chairman and serving with her were: Elizabeth (Lewis) Minis '31 of Greenville, Menefee (Bennett) Little '43 of Raleigh, Elise (Rouse) Wilson '43 of Fayetteville, Marguerite (McCollum) Mulhern '40 of Winston- Salem, Miriam (Goodrum) Tuttle '38 of Kannapolis, and Virginia (Terrell) Lathrop '25 of Ashe\'ille. These ladies served as chairmen of their respective area committees as well as members of the over-all committee. Two members of the College faculty, Miss Vera Largent (History) and Dr. Amy Charles (English), were also members of the committee. And Alice (Joyner) Irby and Sadye Dunn, director of admissions and assistant director, respectively, served the committee as consultants.
To the respective area committees were sent the appli- cations (some 125 were received in all). Each area com- mittee did the preliminary screening of its applicants and selected two girls as finalists to come to the College to be interviewed by the over-all committee. Working with Eliza- beth Mims in area 1 were: Thelma (Getsinger) Barden '28 of Plymouth and Anne (Shields) Brown of Murfreesboro; with Menefee Little in area 2: Nellie (Bugg) Gardner '51 of Warrenton and Charlotte (Wilkinson) Toler '32 of Rocky Mount; with Elise Wilson in area 3: Bess (Newton) Smith '26 of Wilmington and Sallie (Beaver) Buckner '53 of Golds- boro; with Marguerite Mulhern in area 4: Betty Ann (Rag- land) Stanback '46 of Salisbury and Mary Lois (Gordon) TTiomas '43 of Pilot Mountain; with Miriam Tuttle in area 5: Spence (Harrington) Johnson '45 of Southern Pines and Kathryn (Cobb) Preyer '47 of Chariotte; with Virginia Lathrop in area 6: Eleanor (Morton) Moore '33 of Shelby and Anne Tillinghast '40 of Waynesville.
To launch the program this year application forms were mailed to the top ten per cent of the high school seniors who had been accepted by the College in February for ad- mission next fall. It is anticipated for the future that girls who are interested in applying for an alumnae scholarship will make the initial contact by writing to the Alumnae Office for application forms.
An announcement about the Alumnae Scholars Program for the 1963-64 session will be made in the October issue of THE ALUMNAE NEWS.
Reunion Album
Class of 1926
Reporter: Eleanor (Vanneman) Benson
The Class of 1926 met after the alumnae luncheon in the parlor of Woman's Hall where Marjorie Hood is counselor this year. Twenty-one members were present. Hermene Warlick Eichhom, everlasting president, presided.
We sang the class song: "O Class of Green and White to you. We sing our song of praise — ".
We stood in silence a moment after names of deceased members of class were read.
We voted to give class minutes to college archives.
We spent most of our time discussing ways of recruiting top high school graduates for the college and of increasing donations from class members to scholarship funds.
Each member gave an account of herself and of others who were not present. Bess (Newton) Smith of Wilmington is giving a number of azaleas from her garden to the college for use around the new gymnasium and at the entrance from West Market Street.
A letter was read by Hermene from Nolie McDonald, who is a missionary in Lulua- bourg, Republique du Congo, Africa.
10 Our next reunion will be in 1967.
Class of 1932
Reporter: Iris (S+i+h) Reed
"We raise our voices, let them swell In a chorus loud and strong."
Thus the Class of 1932 joined our voices with those of other alumnae for an exceed- ingly well planned and well executed reunion on June 2, 1962.
A butterfly theme was beautifulh- earned out in even- detail from decorations to class numerals and name tags which we secured with lovely enameled butterfly pins in our class colors.
Registration at the .-Mumnae House and coffee in Elliott Hall Ballroom were followed by a delightful luncheon served buffet style in Coleman Gym.
After the formal program, our class mi grated to Kirkland Dorm where many of us had lived during our undergraduate days, and with that, the reminiscing got into high gear.
The meeting was called to order by our president, Pansy (McConnell) Hood, who is to be commended for getting 30 of us together for this happy occasion. After wel- coming us. she distributed the booklets which brought us up-to-date on the names, where- abouts, and happenings of as many of our classmates as could be located.
Most of our time was spent in reviewing this list, commenting on, supplementing, or changing the information contained therein. In a sense this created a spiritual bond be- tween those present and those absent.
Among those answering the roll call was Leslie (Rothrock) Curry, who travelled the greatest distance to be with us, coming all the way from Albany, Georgia.
We learned that Ava Lee Evans is in a nuning home and voted to send her a card from her classm3tes.
In the midst of the roll call the roving photographer came to take our picture. This will appear in the ALUMNAE NEWS.
The treasurer's report, given by our ever- lasting officer, Jris (Nelson) Cooke, revealed that 22 of our members had contributed $128 to the Alumnae Fund. She urged us to give generously to this fund which is used mainly for scholarships.
Our parting pledge to each other was to meet again in '65, bringing with us a class- mate who missed the excitement of our 30th reunion.
Class of 1937
Reporter: Martha (McRae) Alsup
The Class of 1937 had only 13 back for our 25th Reunion but each of us enjoyed it very much. We caught up on as much news as we could in a short time and inquired about many of those who were not there. Wilfred (Schlosser) Seager of Greensboro did most of the work for our luncheon. She had a most attractive centerpiece for our "Silver Anniversary" ... a miniature silver tree with silver butterflies on the limbs. Butterflies were the theme of decoration for tags, decorations, etc. Our class flower was the sweetpea ... so she had made us each a little corsage of siveetpeas tied with I a silver ribbon. Many thanks to \\'ilfred!l Miss Draper and I>r. Miller joined us ior lunch, and it was good to see them.
The following information was gathered during our visiting:
Grace (Harriman) Morrison, Huntington, West Va. Son, Kim, 16, student at Kentucky Military Institute. Daughter, Winia, grad- uating from University of Michigan this June at the same time her father will celebrate his 25th reunion at the University of Michigan.

Class of 1952
Reporter: Jane (Sarsfield) Shoaf
The Class of 1952 reunited ten years later on Commencement weekend with over 100 members appearing for the Alumnae Lunch- eon in Coleman Gymnasium. Following the luncheon during the General Alumnae Meet- ing our class was the proud recipient of a genuine #10 can, a rare treasure, in recogni- tion of our leading in amount and number contributing to the Alumnae Fund. After the luncheon our class adjourned to Gotten Hall parlor for our class meeting. President June (Rainey) Honeycutt called the meeting to order, after which Betty Bullard, vice- president, gave a tribute to Anne (Sutton) Hester, who died in 1958.
The minutes were read and since nobody could remember what had gone on 5 years before, there were no corrections.
Dr. Eugenia Hunter, our class chairman, brought kind words of greeting and was gracious enough to say, "If anything, you've all slimmed down!"
President June then passed the #10 can which we had just been awarded for any additional contributions to the recently in- augurated Alumnae Scholars program and thanked the group for its response to the initial request to this program. To our delight and pride, we collected exactly $100 in the next few minutes to donate to this exceedingly worthy cause.
The president read messages and telegrams from Frankie (Fowler) Stearns, Millie (New- ton) Newton, Ann (Tyson) Turlington, Ann (Whittington) McLendon, and Joan (Roberts) Benton.
At this time we were due in the quadrangle to have a class picture made, so this con- cluded the formal class meeting, but there was ample time afterward for chatting, com- paring notes, showing children's pictures, etc. The secretary asked class members to hand in information concerning themselves or other class members who were not present. We pass these along herewith.
If the secretary is allowed an editorial comment (and even if she's not), the tenth reunion brought together an impressive group of women. We seem to reflect the truth of
Dr. Mclver's statement concerning the educa- tion of women and its effect on the family and thereby on society in general. Many of our group have done graduate work in various fields in addition to raising families. All signs pointed to the fact that this is a group which is not content to take from the world around them without giving back their time, talent, and energy. The crowd spending Friday night in Jamison Hall spoke of how much various facets of our education at Woman's College had given us and enriched our lives.
Dot (Hallenbeck) Touchstone, having ac- quired a Masters of Education in English, teaches in Reidsville where she is sponsor of the Journalism Club, yearbook staff, and stu- dent council at the junior high school.

Class of 1957
Reporter: Mary Nell (Meroney) West
With fift\'-eight members present, the reunion meetmg of the Class of 1957 was called to order by the e%-erlasting president. Sadvc Dunn. Sitting together on the floor of the parlor of Jamison Hall, the girls al- most felt as if this were just another meeting in a long busy college day as they sang surpnsingly well the class song, led by Neil McLeod.
Five years had not caused many physical changes in the girls, but each had changed considerably in her responsibilities and inter- ests as was clearly evidenced by the many snapshots of beautiful children being passed about. Perhaps the busiest since graduation have been Doris (Wesbrook) Bolick and Betty (McGee) Leonard, who each have four children now! Not to be outdone were Hilda (Donaldson) Horsman, Ben Nita (Black) McAdum, Betty Lloyd (Amos) Gallup, and Sarah (Bradford) Landau who were "obvious- ly" planning to increase their family within the year!
The class discussed at some length the Alumnae Fund, with Sadye reporting that thus far in the year 61 class members have contributed $458.00 to the college. She pointed out that it takes 55.00 to keep some- one on the mailing list and that unless one gives more than that the College does not benefit financially. Extra money is now allotted to the Alumnae Scholarship Fund which the class wholeheartedly endorsed. The group collected S 57.00 in Elizabeth (Tuttle) Millers straw hat to give to the fund that day! Each class member promised her- self to be more punctual in contributing yearly to the College and requested that the Alumnae Staff let her know when it was time for her contribution to be renewed.
Sadye recognized Elizabeth (Martin) Shaw for receiving a "Daizy" award at the Alumnae Luncheon for her outstanding work as Chair- man of Undergraduate Relations at the Col- lege. Elizabeth had earlier made a motion for acceptance of the class of 1962 into the Alumnae Association.
News was brought of other classmates unable to attend:
Martha (Moore) Gill, teaching Chapel Hill High, annual dedicated to her.
Beryl Peters, technical editor, New York.
Lu (Stephenson) Block, Germany, hopes to return by December. She has one little girl.
Patsy McDaniel, teaches Spanish in Wash- ington.
Marjorie fWardj Gore, teaching in Nakina. Annual was dedicated to her.
Barbara Terwilliger, teaching at Ashley Hall, Charleston, S. C.
Three classmates looking much thinner than their college da\s were: Ann (Mcintosh) Hoffeldon, Jo Couch, and Blanche (Williams) Willoughby.
The "everlasting sweetheart" of the class, Glenda Brady, suggested before adjournment that attendance at the tenth reunion be required and that a penalty be evoked on all those who do not attend!
See you then — God keep us all.

Genevieve Moore '16 and "her life in the world of music" was the subject of a feature article in the May 24 issue of the HIGH POINT ENTERPPRISE. Always interested in music (she majored in it at the Woman's College and taught public school music for 1 time during her teaching career), she is Finding time now, since her retirement, to pursue her longtime hobby of composing music. To date, she has written some 50 melodies, some with her own words and some OTth verses from other sources. In style her Aforks range from children's, folk, and pop- jlar to sacred and light opera types. Although lone of them has been published as yet, lome of her compositions have been sung jublicly, most recently at a meeting of the High Point Musical Arts Club. She is presently serving as chairman of the Fine \rts department of the High Point Woman's 31ub.
>. Elizabeth Duffy '25, professor of Psy- :hology at the Woman's College, has con- ributed a chapter to a new book EMO- riON: Bodily Change, recently published by 3. Van Nostrand Company, Incorporated. 3ne of the publisher's "Insight" series, the )ook, edited by E>r. Douglas K. Candland of 3ucknell University, contains the work of
sixteen writers who discuss aspects of human emotion and behavior. Elizabeth's chapter entitled "An Explanation of 'Emotional' Phenomena Without the Use of the Concept 'Emotion' " appeared originally as an article in the JOURNAL OF GENERAL PSY- CHOLOGY.
A plaque in the now-thriving Pensacola (Florida) Art Center attests to the successful, pioneer work which Evelyn (Trogdon) Habel '27 did in founding the Pensacola Art Asso- ciation and in her service as president during the first three years of the operation of the Center. The "art idea," originated within the Pensacola AAUW Arts Group, began to take shape in 1953 with the realization that drama, literature, music, and the dance were flourishing in their city, but that art facihties and concentration were lacking. In June,
1954, the association was chartered as a non- profit educational corporation. Exhibitions were sponsored by the group from its incor- poration, but "official" gallery space was authorized in January, 1955, by the County Commissioners. In the Court of Records Building, in space remodeled by the Art Association, the Pensacola Art Center, a free pubhc museum, was opened in the fall of
1955. About a year later, in August, 1956, the City Council agreed to lease the city's former Police Station to the Art Association for $1.00 a year. Former cell blocks were changed into handsome fire-proof galleries; one cell was furnished as a studio for painting classes; the former courtroom was reserved for a lecture and recital hall; and the old offices became the Art Center's offices, galleries, children's studio, and meeting rooms. Proving itself the first year by operating solely with volunteer help without a single schedule break and without any monetary reimbursement for anyone's service, the Art Association was given a $7,500 subsidy by the County for the second year of operation and a full-time director was employed. The center now operates full time with lectures, classes, exhibitions, meetings, and varied pro- grams. Although she has "retired" from active participation in the Center's work now, Evelyn's contribution remains outstand- ing in the civic life and betterment of Pensacola.
A more recent project for Evelyn has been the organization of the Caedmon Club (a book circle) at the request of the AAUW. The club members present the programs themselves and thus far have produced a great deal of creative information in the field of biography and off-beat history. (One of Evelyn's projects was an investigation into the history and significance of playing cards.) In addition to the fields of art and literature, she has been interested and active in politics. For a number of years she was a board mem-
ber of the League of Women Voters. In 1959 she was named State Resolutions Chairman of the Women's Democratic Club of Florida.
Louise (Dannenbmim) Folk '29 and Emma Lewis (Speight) Morris '00 were elected as first and second vice presidents, respectively, of the Friends of the Woman's College Library at the organization's annual meeting in April. Mr. O. Arthur Kirkman, husband of Katherine (Morgan) Kirkman '31, was elected president of the group to succeed Laura (Weill) Cone '10.
Phyllis (Penn) Kohler '30 is the wife of the new Ambassador to Russia. On July 5 President Kennedy named Foy D. Kohler, who is a career diplomat and an expert on Russia, to succeed Ambassador Llewellyn E. Thompson. Since 1959 Mr. Kohler has been Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs; he has been a leading strategist for the Western powers in the Berlin crisis. His foreign service assignments, which began in 1931, included a term in Moscow, beginning in 1946. In 1948 he was raised to the rank of minister at the U. S. Embassy there. It was during this previous Moscow assignment that Phyllis, at the suggestion of General Bedell Smith, who was then our Russian Ambassador, undertook the translation from the French of "Journey for Our Time, " a journal on the Russian scene written in 1839 by Marquis de Custine. (In 1951 when the book was published, LIFE magazine devoted fourteen pages to excerpts from Phyllis' trans- lation and to illustrations.) Following the Moscow assignment, the Kohlers returned to Washington where Mr. Kohler served for two years as director of the Voice of America. He holds the permanent rank of career min- ister, the second highest rank obtainable in the Diplomatic Service.
Maxine Allen '35, one of the top women bowlers in the nation, has been named to the National Duckpin Bowling Congress Hall of Fame. During this past spring she added a victory in the BPAA NaHonal Duckpin All-Star Match Game Championship to her "bulging collection of wins," which include among many others two U. S. Women's Classics and a Women's Dixie Classic crown. Since 1943 she has rated among the top duckpin bowlers in the nation; currently she ranks third. \()

Dorothy (Poole) Naveaux '36 is the director of Market Street Neighborhood House in LouisN-ille. Kentucky. One phase of the House's versatile program is the subject of a feature article in the March 1 1 issue of the LOUISVILLE COURIER JOURNAL MAGAZINE: the Study Club program. Originally a room was set aside in the House for study since many of the children in the area had no place at home to study. The children began coming one evening a week from 5 to 7:00. That was about a year and a half ago. Now they come four nights a week. Only 35 may be accommodated because of the meager facilities — there is a waiting list of more than 20, many of whom go by the House daily to plead to be taken in. Individual attention is given to the chil- dren and their studies by more than 60 volunteers, among them teachers (active and retired), college students, high school stu- dents, and citizensat large. According to Dorothy, Neighborhood House is designed to serve its community area from the point of view of the familv.
Ophelia (Wilson) Needham '36 has been named by Governor Terry Sanford as the first woman member of the North Carolina Milk Commission.

Emily (Harris) Preyer '39 has been appointed by Governor Terry Sanford as a member of the North Carolina Educational Council on National Purposes, a group which will strive to promote "a better understanding of the basic principles of American citizenship and freedom under law." On May 25 Emily's "private life" was the subject of a feature article by Eudora Garrison in the CHAR- LOTTE OBSERVER, the first of a series about the wives of outstanding public servants in North Carolina.
Dr. Elizabeth Phillips '39, assistant professor of English at Wake Forest College, has been named a Fulbright professor for next session. She will teach at Seoul National University in Korea under the State Department's edu- cational exchange program. This will be her second assignment at the Korean university: in 1960-61 she taught as a Smith Mundt professor under a similar State Department award. Prior to joining the Wake Forest faculty in 1957, she taught at Lees-McRae College, Butler University in Indiana, Mil- waukee-Downer College in Wisconsin; she was visiting lecturer at the University of Oslo in Norway; and in 1956 she was assistant coordinator of a special program in American Civilization for visiting teachers from north- ern Europe at the University of Pennsylvania, the university from which she received her Ph.D. degree.
Ellen Griffm '40 was the chairman of the third annual Ladies Professional Golf Asso- ciation's National Golf School held at the Woman's College the first week in July. Tlie school was primarily for golf teachers, but "the student body" included among its capa- city number several players who came to improve their playing ability. The list of instructors for the school was long and out- standing: Peggy Kirk Bell (the LPGA "teaching pro of the year" in 1961), Betty Jameson, Barbara'Romack, Shirley Englehorn, Shirley Spork, Barbara Rotvig, Sandra Haynie, Lucille Wardell, Carol Mann '62x, Harry Pressler (one of the most respected teachers of golf), and Ellen.

Betty Ann (Ragland) Stanback '46 was named as the "Woman of the Year" in Salisbury on March 27, thereby becoming the tenth and youngest recipient of the Business and Professional Women's Club award.

Nancy White '46, who is a doctoral fellow in Child Development, was opening-session si>eaker for a five-day workshop on "Creative Activities for the Pre-School Child" which began at the College on July 9 under the sponsorship of the Institute for Child and Family Development. Speaking to the 46 participating teachers in nursery schools, day care centers, and kindergartens and to the point "What the First Grade Teacher Expects," Nancy said: "A good kindergarten
is not a play school but a school with a flexible schedule and rich in first-hand ex- periences with many opportunities for active work, play, experimentation, and conversa- tions. ... A good kindergarten teacher is one who keeps in mind that each child is an individual with different needs, experi- ences, and opportunities." The workshop was directed by Marilea (Roberts) Grogan '51.
Nancy (Romefelt) Mapes '48 and her hus- band, Hal, and their five children were the family-subject of an article in the May issue of LADIES' HOME JOURNAL. Entitled "The Early Growing Years," the article is concerned with "the cost of the right start in life for five children." Answer Nancy and Hal to the question: how much?, "all your money, time, love." Nancy is described as "a financial manager" of whom her husband, a special agent for the Prudential Insurance Company, can be very proud.
Important to the Mapes family is the discovery which they have made that time, in addition to money, is a valuable asset. "Time that can be spent or saved just like money. Used wisely, it buys things money can't buy. What it buys for Hal is a thing increasingly . . . rare in the lives of most busy American fathers. It buys him close daily companionship with his children. Many of his business appointments are in the evening, so he can often bonow afternoon hours to play with the children, coach them at sports, 'or just be there when they come home from school in case there's something they want to talk over with me'."
Home is a seven-room house at 38 Grandview Avenue in Glen Rock, New Jersey, just around the comer from Nancy's parents. Hal, Jr. (12), Susan (10), Nancy (8), and Diane (6) go to the same elementary school which Nancy attended. Mary Parks, named for Nancy's sister Mary (Romefelt) Kendall '50, is just 2; Nancy calls her the "bonus baby."
The article follows Nancy through her day- — from her before-5:00-rising (so she can, while ironing, attend a sunrise television class in astronomy) through breakfast, dish wash- ing, clothes washing (two loads each day and five on Saturday), house tidying, lunch. Brownie troop arrangements (she's a troop co-leader), sewing and knitting, bill paying, after-school activities, dinner, and the evening (often more sewing and knitting if Hal is out).
Concludes the article: "To friends who ask Nancy if she doesn't get tired of being tied down so much of the time, she says with absolute honesty (and more than a little bewilderment at being asked the question), 'Why? There's no place I'd rather be than with the children. Their growing years are so short — too precious to lose a day of."
Mary Ann Raywid's ('49) doctoral dissertation has been published by MacMillan Company under the title THE AX-GRINDERS, Critics of Our Public Schools. She is a member of the faculty at Hofstra College in New York.
Barbara (Mangum) Bowland '51 has been selected as the "Young Woman of the Year" in Burlington. The mother of three children and the director of a successful play school, she has also been invited to join Delta Kappa Gamma, honorary society for women edu- cators.
Dr. Sarah Lynn Bailey '53 was the subject of a feature story in the June 25 CHAR- LOTTE OBSERVER. She readily admitted to her interviewer that "she loves all her patients" — they are children; she is a pedia- trician. "Med school was rough," she says, "but not as rough as I expected. And what they say about women doctors having such a hard time from their male colleagues just isn't true, not in Charlotte," where she's practicing.
With Nartcy Jean (Hill) Snow '54 directing the production and Judith (Eller) Freeman '38 in charge of the music, the students of Needham Broughton High School in Raleigh did "credit to much more than just a high school production" of "Oklahoma," staged two evenings in early May. According to a RALEIGH TIMES reviewer, the students' rendirion of the musical was "an eye filling, song singing sort of happy time that had close to 1,000 patrons nudging each other in pleasant surprise." Commented Nancy Jean and Judith on the-day-after: "We are now thoroughly limp from exhaustion, but we do feel highly pleased with the perform- ance of our students."
Phyllis McLean '54x had a one-man show of paintings at the Arlan Gallery in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in April. This was her second one-man show; the first was in New York in February, 1961. Another solo showing is scheduled for the coming fall in New York, where she lives at 224 East 48th Street, Apt. 3-B.
Barbara (Mitchell) Worthington '54 is spend- ing the summer in India as the 1962 Com- munis,- Ambassador for the city of Raleigh. She is the ninth such ambassador sent from Raleigh through a project sponsored by local civic clubs, church and school groups. During the >ear following her return she will talk to Raleigh groups about what she is seeing and doing during her two-months stay. The holder of a master's degree from North Carolina State College, Barbara has been principal of Wiley School for three years. Prior to this assignment, she was Girls' Counselor at Hugh Morson High School. She has been active in the North Carolina Education Association at both state and local levels, having serv'ed as president of the Raleigh NCEA Chapter in 1959-60.
Suzanne Rodgers '55 was one of the subjects of an article enritled "How Nice To Be a Pretty Girl and Work in Washington" which appeared in the March 2? issue of LIFE. Suzanne, who works for Senator Everett Jordan of North Carolina, is one of seven \\^ashingtonians who share the cooperative luxun- of a $95,000 Georgetown house. (The monthly rental of $485 amounts to less than $70 each.) In photographs accompanying the article, Suzanne, described as the "mainstay of an amateur theatrical group," is shown teaching a chorus line a kick step and playing touch football.
Sadye Dunn '57 has been appointed Director of Admissions for the Woman's College, the appointment effective August 1. During the past year she was assistant director of ad- missions, and from 1957-59 she was the College's field representative. In her new job she will succeed Alice (Joyner) Irby '54, who has resigned.
Martha Ann Helms '60 has been awarded a Ford Foundation Foreign Area Training Fellowship for 1962-63. The fellowship will allow her to continue work toward a Ph.D. degree in history at Indiana University, Bloomington, Ind.
Barbara Little '61 has been awarded a Foun- darion Fellowship by the University of Penn- sylvania for next year. She will continue her graduate work in English at that institution. During the past session she held a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship which was awarded to her during the spring of her senior year. Next year's Pennsylvania grant will provide full tuition plus a stipend of $1,500.

THE LI3?.ARY
CLC, continued
Finalists but Not Recipients. That's the cate- gory in which eight of the more than 12? young women who apphed for Alumnae Schol- arships for next vear ended-up. I'd like to comment a bit about several of them. One, who was a National Merit Scholarship finalist, was a Gold Key winner in the Scholastic Art competition and a silver cup winner m the Woman's Club Art Contest. She wants to study art and the natural sciences in the hope of teaching or doing occupational therapy.
Another, who is one of seven children (all presentlv dependent on their parents), was president of her school's Beta Club. She wants to study science and go into medicme.
Another, who is one of five children (all dependent on their parents and one already in college), was a National Merit finalist and a participant in a 1959 National Science Foundation Institute. She wants to study mathematics.
Another, whose father, mother, brother, and sister are deaf, wants to study physical education or chemistry or biology; she hoi>es :o prepare herself to teach and to work with the deaf.
Another, who has been working during the summers as a medical assistant to a local doc- tor, wants to study medical technology.
Another, whose father's annual income is less than $4,000 and who ranked first in her class, wants to prepare herself to be a bio- chemist.
Another, whose mother was killed in an automobile accident and whose father's where- abouts are unknown (and have been since she was five years old), wants very much to come to the Woman's College to study psychology or English.
The Alumnae Scholars Committee's task was a heart-breaking one. TTiey had to tell these girls: "We're sorry, but we l.r.ve no funds with which to help you fulfill your desires for a Woman's College education." The girls have gone their ways in trying to scrape together the money to come to the College in the fall. We hope that they will be successful in their efforts: they are worthy; their high school performance indicates that they will do well in college.
Next year other girls with similar desires and needs will seek our alumnae scholarship help. The number whom we will be able to help . . . and the number to whom we will have to say: "So sorry!" . . . will depend on the size and success of the Alumnae Fund . . . on the generosity of our annual contributors ... on YOU and on ME. ^ BP
