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,

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

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.

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:

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.

quired a Masters of Education in English,

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

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

>. 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 (Yarbrough) Zimmerman '35 of

She is supervisor of the Caswell County
schools. .sSSii^,

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

highway. She does all the bookkeeping
necessary for the large operation. Vice-
president of the District Federation of Home
Demonstration Clubs, she is currently a mem-
ber of the State HDC Safety Council. On
the N. C. Farm Bureau Federation Woman's
Committee for two terms, she was a delegate

Alamance County HD Clubs on the United
Nations Study Tour and was selected to
preside at one of the study sessions. She is
currently chairman of the Board of Stewards
of her church. She is the mother of three
rhiMren: Rilly (5), Dan (13), and Judith, a
1960 graduate of the Woman's College, who
is employed as a Research Technologist at
20 the Veterans Hospital in Durham.

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

which was a very close runner-up to Mecklen-
burg County for the 1961 David W. Hardee
Award for outstanding service among the
State's Mental Health associations.

Helen Phillips '42 has been appointed Direc-
tor of Food Service at the Woman's College.

hcity chairman for a building fund campaign.
A member of the board of directors of the
Salisbury Branch of AAUW since 1955, she
served as president in 1957-58, during which

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.

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
