The  Peace 


o 


Despite  the  twenty-five 
years  that  separate  them, 
the  Class  of  '42  and  the 
Class  of  '67  are  soulmates 
of  a  sort.  They  share  a 
feisty  independence  and  a 
willingness  to  break  with 
tradition  when  it  proved 
more  of  a  constraint  than 
a  connection  with  commu- 
nity. Each  expressed  this 
habit  of  the  heart  in  ways 
appropriate  to  their  time. 


Class  of  '42 

Fifty  years  ago  the  Class  of  1942 
helped  celebrate  the  fiftieth 
anniversary  of  the  founding  of  what  is 
now  The  University  of  North  Carolina 
at  Greensboro.  In  May,  they  returned 
to  campus  for  their  fiftieth  reunion 
and  the  University's  year-long 
Centennial  Celebration.  This  is  a 
vintage  class. 

They  matured  in  the  long  shadow 
of  World  War  II.  It  colored  their  lives 
and  thoughts,  giving  added 
dimension  to  the  College  motto, 
"Service."  An  editorial  in  The 
Cnwlininii  on  December  12, 1941,  just 
days  after  the  Japanese  attack  on  Pearl 
Harbor,  put  it  this  way: 

"The  answer  of  America's  young 
women  to  war  cannot  be  'What's 
going  to  happen  to  me?'  but  must  be 
'What  can  I  do?'  The  future  of 
America  depends  on  it." 

Miss  Louise  Alexander,  associate 
professor  of  political  science,  put 
together  the  Campus  Service  League 
to  organize  defense  work  for  students. 
In  January,  1,730  students  signed  up 
for  continuing  education  courses  in 
subjects  that  included  first  aid,  home 
nursing,  Morse  code,  child  care, 
nutrition,  and  knitting. 

Sugar  rationing  went  into  effect, 
and  The  CaroUnian  warned  that  Cokes 
might  disappear.  A  war  material, 
sugar  was  used  in  the  manufacture  of 


smokeless  gunpowder. 

Young  men  from  the  military 
training  center  in  Greensboro  flocked 
to  the  campus  on  weekends.  A  dance 
was  held  each  Saturday  night  in 
Rosenthal  Gym.  Tickets  were  distri- 
buted to  300  servicemen  and  200 
girls. 

For  those  without  dance  tickets, 
there  was  roller  skating  in  the 
Outdoor  Gym  on  Saturday  nights. 
The  Milk  Bar  and  the  Tavern,  both 
located  in  the  Dining  Hall  and  run  by 
the  Department  of  Home  Economics, 
were  open  on  Saturday  night,  too. 

Visiting  lecturers  provided 
insights  on  the  war  in  Europe.  They 
included  the  exiled  German  novelist 
Thomas  Mann,  news  broadcaster 
Edward  R.  Murrow,  photographer 
Margaret  Bourke-White,  and  US 
ambassador  to  Germany  Hugh 
Wilson,  who  had  retired  when 
diplomatic  relations  were  broken. 
The  war  created  a  manpower 
shortage  on  the  home  front,  opening 
new  opportunities  for  women.  Jobs 
and  roles  traditionally  filled  by  men 
suddenly  welcomed  women.  A  quiet 
realization  of  the  possibility  of  more 
independence  and  control  over  their 
own  lives  began  to  take  hold.  Perhaps 
the  first  inkling  that  the  grip  of  social 
tradition  was  loosening  showed  itself 
on  campus  in  1942  when  students 
questioned  the  fairness  of  the  no-cut 
chapel  attendance  policy. 

The  penalty  for  cutting  was  four 
to  seven  days  of  "absolute  campus" 
—  you  were  grounded,  confined  to 
campus,  and  could  not  make  or 
receive  telephone  calls  except  in  an 
emergency.  Student  dissatisfaction 
with  the  policy  led  The  Carolinian  to 
editorialize,  "First,  we  believe  we 
should  be  granted  two  chapel  cuts. 
Absolute  campus  as  a  penalty  for  a 
cut  is  too  strict  and  incongruous  with 
allowing  class  cuts."  Dr.  Walter 
Clinton  Jackson,  dean  of  admin- 
istration, soon  revised  the  policy, 
allowing  two  chapel  cuts  a  semester. 
This  was  a  small  but  significant 
break  with  tradition.  The  institution 
and  its  students  had  begun  to  change. 


Reunion  Report 

by  Isabel  Edmunds  Gillespie 


Even  after  giving  myself  several  days 
to  simmer  down  from  the  excitement  of 
the  50th  reunion  of  our  Class  of  '42, 1  am 
still  euphoric,  so  I  will  just  speak  in 
hyperbole  and  affirm  the  statement  printed 
on  the  regalia  we  wore  to  the  99th  Annual 
Meeting:  "1942  —  Tried  and  True." 

There  was  so  much  exuberance  and 
so  much  laughter  all  through  our  time  on 
campus  that  it  was  clear  that  our  mood 
was  one  of  triumph  and  rejoicing.  After 
all,  we  have  every  reason  to  celebrate,  to 
strut  a  little,  and  finally  to  cheer. 

We  can  celebrate  being  well-equipped 
by  our  college.  Many  spoke  of  not 
realizing  what  first-class  training  we  had 
received  until  we  began  to  launch 
ourselves  in  our  own  homes,  our 
communities,  and  our  careers.  Then  we 
discovered  how  well  prepared  we  were. 
Some  spoke  of  helping  fellow  fledgling 
teachers  to  make  lesson  plans.  Some 
spoke  of  graduate  courses  at  other 
institutions  which  were  on  a  par  with  their 
undergraduate  courses  at  WC. 
Conversations  like  these  undergirded  the 
statement  made  by  Skip  Moore,  Vice 
Chancellor  for  Development  and 
University  Relations,  that  UNCG  was  "less 
an  ivory  tower  and  more  a  working 
institution." 

We  can  strut  a  little  over  being 
survivors.  We  survived  the  Great 
Depression,  World  War  II,  the  1960s, 
computers,  coed  dorms  at  Woman's 


College,  and  our  own  sometimes 
disregarded  aging.  The  phrase  used  by 
Skip  was  "adapting  and  evolving." 
These  were  the  qualities  we  needed  and 
discovered  that  we  had.  Some  spoke  of 
"retooling"  themselves  for  changing 
careers  or  for  new  careers.  Many  spoke 
of  holding  firm  amid  shifting  mores. 
More  referred  to  families  whole  and 
sound  in  spite  of  outside  pressures.  All 
had  hope  and  confidence  for  the  future. 
Heck!  We  didn't  just  survive!  We  came 
through  looking  good.  Honestly  now, 
weren't  you  impressed  with  us  when  we 
marched  down  the  aisle  of  Aycock 
Auditorium  122  strong?  We're  still 
mobile  and  agile  and  still  looking 
forward  with  zest. 

Finally,  let's  hear  it  for  our 
contributions  to  our  world  and  times. 
We  are  the  very  image  of  America  or  its 
backbone.  We  are  its  solid,  sane, 
informed  citizens.  We  are  concerned, 
involved,  capable,  achieving, 
responsible,  and  adaptable.  And  we 
have  achieved  it  all  with  a  measure  of 
humor  and  a  sort  of  panache. 

So  hooray  for  the  Class  of  '42. 
We  really  are  the  Tried  and  True.

Class  of  '67 

War  was  a  backdrop  for  the  Class 
of  '67,  a  rumbling  just  over  the 
horizon.  But  unlike  World  War  II,  the 
fighting  in  Southeast  Asia  was  not  on 
a  scale  —  yet —  to  impinge  upon  the 
daily  life  of  students.  Change,  how- 
ever, was  in  the  wind  in  1967,  the 
seventy-fifth  anniversary  of  the 
founding  of  the  normal  school  that 
was  now  coeducational  and  The 
University  of  North  Carolina  at 
Greensboro. 

As  the  Class  of  '42  had  expressed 
the  growing  independence  of  women 
by  focusing  on  the  chapel  attendance 
policy,  the  broad  challenge  to  tradi- 
tion and  authority  nationwide  in  the 
1960s  was  localized  at  UNCG  in  1967 
and  directed  at  time-honored  campus 
social  regulations,  particularly  the 
dress  code. 

According  to  the  Student  Handbook 
of  1966-67: 

•  Bermudas,  pedal  pushers,  and 
slacks  may  be  worn  by  women 
students: 

a.  On  the  third  floor  of  Elhott 
Hall 

b.  To  social  functions  in  the 
Elliott  Hall  game  room  and 
terrace  at  which  such  attire  is 
approved  by  the  administration 

c.  On  the  back  campus  and  from 
dorm  to  dorm 

•  Pajamas,  bedroom  shoes,  shorts 
or  sweatshirts  are  not  to  be  worn 
in  the  dining  hall 

•  Hair  must  not  be  rolled  with 
bobby  pins,  clips,  or  curlers  at 
dinner.  When  curlers  are  worn  at 
breakfast  or  lunch,  they  must 

be  covered  by  a  kerchief 

•  "Sunday  dress"  required  for 
dinner  (noon)  on  Sunday; 

a.  For  women  this  includes 
heels  or  flats;  tennis  shoes, 
sandals,  socks  and  leotards 
are  not  allowed 

b.  For  men  this  includes  coat, 
tie,  and  socks;  no  tennis  shoes 
allowed 


In  response  to  student  petitions. 
Student  Government  took  up  the 
issue  and  passed  a  resolution  asking 
Chancellor  Ferguson  for  reform. 
There  was  opposition  from  sonie 
faculty. 

In  an  interview  with  T]ie  Carolin- 
ian, Professor  John  Rosenthal  of  the 
Department  of  English  said: 

"I  am  definitely  against  rollers  in 
class.  It  is  basically  disconcerting  for 
the  professor  to  see  this  informality. 
There  should  be  a  certain  amount  of 
formality  on  campus  and  in  the 
classroom. 

"I  like  the  way  students  dress 
here  generally.  There  are,  however,  a 
whole  block  of  students  who  dress  in 
the  same  fashion,  the  cliches  of 
modern  dress  —  Madras,  culottes, 
weejuns,  short  hair,  and  white 
London  Fogs.  It  is  very  depressing 
that  about  80  percent  of  all  girls  dress 
alike.  On  a  rainy  day  it's  like  trying  to 
pick  a  particular  ant  out  of  an  ant  hill. 

"I  can't  stand  to  see  boys'  ankles 
and  Madras  pants.  It  seems  like  boys 
are  trying  to  look  as  feminine  as 
possible.  This  showing  of  ankles  is 
very  offending.  It  stems  directly  from 
a  girls'  fashion  book  because  it  draws 
attention  to  a  part  of  the  body." 

Despite  Mr.  Rosenthal's  views. 
Chancellor  Ferguson  abolished  the 
dress  code  for  students.  In  his  memo- 
randum he  added  that  "The  require- 
ments of  good  taste  are  not  being 
repealed." 

The  campus,  in  short,  has  not 
looked  the  same  since  the 
Class  of  '67. 


Reunion  Report 

by  Alison  Hayward  Mimms 

Some  seventy-one  of  us  signed  in  for 
our  25th  reunion  May  15-16, 1992. 
Special  thanks  to  Ginger  Grier  Booker  for 
coordinating  plans  for  this  reunion.  Yours 
truly  got  the  job  of  writing  this  report 
because  she  was  the  first  to  send  in  her 
reservation.  I  have  always  hated  being 
late  for  anything,  but  I  am  very  honored  to 
have  this  particular  assignment. 

Much  of  what  we  have  done  over  the 
last  twenty-five  years  can  be  found  in  the 
Class  Reunion  Booklet,  which  I  hope  all  of 
you  read.  We  spent  a  good  deal  of  our 
time  during  the  reunion  reminiscing  about 
our  days  at  UNCG.  We  realized  that  we 
were  the  first  class  to  enter  the  University 
as  The  University  of  North  Carolina  at 
Greensboro.  Our  entrance  and  some  of 
the  things  we  wanted  to  change  did  mark 
the  beginning  of  what  is  now  a  part  of  the 
University. 

Remember  the  infamous  "tray  riot"  of 
our  freshman  year?  That  led  to  a  change 
for  the  better  in  the  dining  hall  food. 
Salad  bars  became  popular  with  us  long 
before  they  hit  the  restaurant  scene.  What 
we  began  in  1964  culminated  in  the 
renovation  of  the  dining  halls,  which  are 
really  beautiful  now.  They  preserve  much 
of  the  original  structure,  but  offer  more 
choices  in  food  to  the  students  of  today. 
(One  of  the  dining  hall  managers  told  me 
that  our  pictures,  or  rather  mug  shots, 
were  in  the  dining  hall  office.)  We  also 
asked  to  be  allowed  to  wear  pants  to 
meals  during  exams,  and  this  was

granted.  The  old  dress  code  is  now  a 
thing  of  the  past,  along  with  those  awful 
PE  uniforms. 

All  of  this  self-praise  for  our 
accomplishments  does  not  mean  that  we 
think  all  of  the  changes  have  been  good. 
Most  of  us  were  shocked  to  see  the  police 
emergency  phones  at  strategic  points 
throughout  the  campus  and  to  hear  the 
reports  of  violent  crime.  We  are  sorry  that 
some  of  the  old  traditions  such  as  Jacket 
Day,  Daisy  Chain,  and  Sister  Classes  are 
no  longer  part  of  campus  life.  However, 
as  both  Chancellor  Moran  and  Provost 
Donald  DeRosa  told  us,  we  can't  have  the 
campus  we  knew,  and  we  probably 
wouldn't  want  to.  Life  has  changed  for  all 
of  us  during  the  years  since  we  graduated; 
in  some  ways  for  the  good,  in  other  ways 
for  the  bad.  Our  sons  and  daughters  have 
had  to  grow  up  sooner  than  we  did  in  our 
somewhat  protective  environment.  We 
did  graduate  with  a  sense  of  family  and  of 
class  spirit,  which  keeps  us  coming  back 
for  reunion.  I  know  this  is  true  for  myself 
because  my  "Army  brat"  background  was 
filled  with  frequent  moves  and  school 
changes.  UNCG  was  the  first  place  I  had 
stayed  for  four  years. 

We  remembered  some  of  the  stunts 
we  pulled  besides  the  tray  riot  —  sliding 
down  the  snow-covered  hill  in  front  of  the 
Science  Building  with  "borrowed"  trays 
from  the  dining  hall  (courtesy  of  Leslie 
Burg  Becker  and  some  of  the  dining  hall 
help),  painting  "Charlie"  and  adorning  him 
with  crazy  costumes,  and  pillow  and  water 
fights  in  the  dorms.  Our  reputation  has 
definitely  lasted  —  Dr.  Otis  Singletary 
returned  for  Commencement  and  posed 
with  us  for  the  reunion  picture  on  the 
steps  of  the  Alumni  House.  Did  he 
remember  us?  "Oh  yes,"  he  replied,  "you 
were  the  rowdy  bunch  in  the  balcony." 

We  were  the  youngest  reunioning 
class,  and  all  of  us  were  truly  inspired 
by  the  presence  of  Miss  Nettie  White, 
Class  of  1917,  the  oldest  alumna  present. 
God  bless  you.  Miss  White,  and  we  hope 
to  see  you  and  all  of  you  from  the

REUNION 


We  talked,  we  sang,  we  laughed,  we  cried  ...  we  did  the  things  that 
made  it  gratifying  to  return  for  Reunion.  Oh  yes,  the  campus  has 
changed,  but  it's  the  people  we  came  to  see:  The  classmates  who  once 
shared  the  escapades  of  our  college  exuberance  —  who  now  share  the 
memory  of  a  time  and  place  that  changed  our  lives  forever.

Alumni 
Distinguished 
Service  Awards 

Alumni  Distinguished  Service 
Awards  are  presented  to 
alumni  of  the  University  who 
have  made  significant 
contributions  to  the  liberal 
arts  ideal  through  service  to 
others. 

The  Alumni  Service 
Awards  Committee  reviews 
nominations  and  determines 
which  candidates  will 
be  recommended  for 
consideration  by  the  Board 
of  Trustees  of  the  Alumni 
Association.  Chuck  Hager  '80 
chaired  the  ADSA  Committee 
this  year. 

Presentations  of  the 
awards  are  made  during  the 
Annual  Meeting  of  the  Alumni 
Association  in  May. 

The  first  Alumni  Service 
Award  was  presented  in  1960 
to  Laura  Weill  Cone  '10.  In 
1992  five  alumnae  join  the 
one  hundred  and  fifteen 
previous  recipients  of  the 
award. 


Elizabeth  "Betty"  Bullard  '52 

Columbia,  SC 


Service  to  humanity  derives  from 
efforts  to  learn  and  to  achieve,  and 
then  to  share  the  gifts  of  knowledge 
and  success  with  others.  In  the  case  of 
Betty  Bullard,  that  sharing  has  taken 
the  form  of  scholarship. 

Since  she  completed  a  degree  in 
psychology  at  WC,  she  earned  a 
master's  in  education  from  UNC 
Chapel  Hill,  was  an  Asian  Studies 
Scholar  at  the  University  of  Hawaii, 
and  earned  her  doctorate  in  education 
from  Duke  University.  Betty  taught  at 
Lexington  and  Asheville  high  schools 
and  became  a  curriculum  specialist 
and  then  director  of  international 
education  for  the  NC  Department  of 
Public  Instruction.  After  five  years  as 
director  of  the  education  department 
of  the  Asia  Society  in  New  York,  she 
joined  the  faculty  of  the  University  of 
South  Carolina,  where  she  is 
associate  professor  of  education. 

In  1978  Betty  was  appointed  by 
President  Carter  to  the  President's 
Commission  on  Foreign  Language 
and  International  Studies.  She  was 
chief  consultant  to  Walter  Cronkite's 
"Why  in  the  World"  TV  series.  Her 
honors  include  North  Carolina's 
Outstanding  Educator  Award,  the 
EDPRESS  National  Award  for 
Excellence  in  Writing,  and  the  East- 
West  Center's  Distinguished  Service 
Award  promoting  mutual  under- 
standing between  the  US  and  Asia. 
Betty  has  been  a  member  of  the 
UNCG  Alumni  Board  of  Trustees  and 
the  Alumni  Council  and  Annual 
Giving  Chair  for  Wake  County. 


Alice  Faucette  Callahan  '52 

Reidsville,  NC 

Faced  with  the  failure  of  her 
eyesight  at  about  age  ten,  Alice 
persevered  in  the  public  schools 
when  there  were  virtually  no  special 
programs  for  handicapped  students. 
Through  the  compassion  and  assis- 
tance of  teachers,  administrators,  and 
family,  she  continued  to  the  tenth 
grade.  Six  years  later  she  entered  the 
School  for  the  Blind  in  Raleigh  and 
completed  her  high  school  education. 
Accepted  at  UNCG,  she  was  a"non- 
traditional"  student  —  a  freshman  in 
her  twenties  was  unusual  in  1948. 

After  receiving  her  degree  in 
primary  education,  Alice  taught  at 
Oak  Hill  School  for  the  Blind  in 
Hartford,  CT,  for  twenty-five  years. 

In  1977  she  returned  to  Reidsville 
and  volunteered  to  teach  Braille 
through  the  State  Services  for  the 
Blind.  Alice  has  been  involved  with 
the  Independent  Living  Services 
Program  and  the  Madison-Mayodan 
Schools,  working  with  the  visually 
impaired.  She  helped  organize  a 
support  group  for  the  blind  in 
Rockingham  County.  She's  served  on 
the  board  of  directors  of  her  Pilot 
Club  and  as  vice  president  for  the 
National  Federation  of  the  Blind  in 
Rockingham  County. 

As  one  journalist  wrote,  Alice  is 
"an  inspiration  to  us  all."

Betty  Crawford  Ervin  '50 

Morganton,  NC 

After  earning  a  degree  in  history  in 
1950,  Betty  raised  four  children  and 
returned  to  the  classroom  in  1971.  For 
fifteen  years  she  taught  social  studies 
at  Freedom  High  School  in  Mor- 
ganton, where  she  was  honored  as 
Teacher  of  the  Year. 

An  active  volunteer  in  Burke 
County  and  in  her  church,  Betty  was 
awarded  an  honorary  life  member- 
ship in  the  Presbyterian  Women  in 
1991. 

Betty  has  been  in  close  touch  with 
her  alma  mater.  She  has  served  the 
Alumni  Association  in  many  capaci- 
ties —  member  and  district  chair  of 
the  Board  of  Trustees,  county  and 
district  chair  of  the  Reynolds  Scholar- 
ship Selection  Committee,  the  Service 
Awards  Committee,  the  Gifts  and 
Bequests  Comniittee,  and  the 
Alumni  Giving  Council.  She  was 
instrumental  in  formulating  the 
working  agreement  between  the 
University  and  the  Alumni  Associa- 
tion and  is  presently  a  member  of  the 
Association's  By-Laws  Committee. 
Betty  is  immediate  past  president  of 
the  Alumni  Association  and 
serves  on  the  board  of  the  UNCG 
Excellence  Foundation. 

Betty  has  steadfastly  urged  UNCG 
to  maintain  its  high  academic  stan- 
dards and  its  emphasis  on  service  to 
individuals  and  society  and  to  resist 
efforts  to  confine  its  role  to  that  of  a 
regional  university. 


Martha  Fowler  McNair  '49 

Winston-Salem,  NC 

Martha's  remarkable  leadership 
qualities  and  sense  of  responsibility 
were  evident  during  her  student  days 
when  she  served  as  class  secretary 
and  treasurer,  house  president, 
president  of  student  government,  and 
judicial  board  chair. 

Since  earning  her  degree  in 
secretarial  administration,  Martha 
has  continued  her  service  to  UNCG 
as  recording  secretary  and  president 
of  the  Alumni  Association  and  a 
member  of  the  Annual  Giving 
Council,  the  Reynolds  and  Brooks 
Scholarship  Committees,  and  the 
Alumni  Scholarship  Committee  on 
local  and  district  levels.  Since  1981 
she  has  been  a  member  of  the  Board 
of  Governors  of  The  University  of 
North  Carolina  and  has  had  a  hand  in 
charting  the  course  of  higher  educa- 
tion in  the  state. 

As  Everlasting  President  of  the 
Class  of  1949,  Martha  is  steering  it 
toward  providing  a  professorship  for 
the  University  as  its  50th  anniversary 
gift. 

The  North  Carolina  Museum  of 
History  has  benefitted  from  her 
efforts  to  conserve  its  nationally 
important  collection  of  historic  flags 
and  her  work  on  a  successful  cam- 
paign to  provide  new  quarters  for  the 
museum. 

Once  characterized  as  "soft 
spoken,  but  dynamic  in  leadership," 
Martha  epitomizes  the  vision  the 
University's  founders  must  have  had 
for  the  role  of  women  in  North 
Carolina's  future. 


Edna  Earle  Richardson  Watson  '40 

Roseboro,  NC 


More  than  fifty  years  have  passed 
since  Edna  Earle  graduated  from  WC 
with  a  degree  in  biology.  She  has 
spent  that  time  teaching,  learning, 
and  cultivating  candidates  for 
admission  to  this  University. 

Edna  Earle's  three  daughters  are 
UNCG  graduates.  After  spending 
time  at  home  with  them  when  they

The  Concept  of  Service 
at  Woman's  College, 
1919-41 

by  Cheryl  Fradette  Junk  '91 


CELEBRATE  OUR  CENTURY 


Thif  cssny  was  first  published  in  Inquiry,  a  journal  of 
under  gmduntc  scholarly  essays  i>iihlislm1  by  tlie  UNCC 
Honors  Prop-am.  Theautlior,  now  a  graduate  student  in 
history  at  UNCG,  presented  the  paper  at  Mclivr 
Conference  tliis  sprhjg.  Wlnit  follows  is  an  edited  versio}! 
of  her  paper. 


)/*^  The  year  1891  was  a  very 
good  one  for  Charles  Duncan  Mclver. 
He  and  his  fellow  educators  in  the 
North  Carolina  Teachers'  Assembly 
could  finally  celebrate  victory  in  their 
ten-year  struggle  to  convince  the 
General  Assembly  that  the  state 
needed  a  college  to  train  white  female 
teachers.  Mclver  rejoiced  at  the 
chartering  of  the  State  Normal  and 
Industrial  School  to  be  built  in 
Greensboro.  He  was  its  founder  and 
served  as  its  first  president  from  1892 
until  his  death  in  1906.  He  cam- 
paigned for  the  creation  of  the  school 
because  he  was  convinced  that 
statewide  literacy  was  the  ticket  out  of 
North  Carolina's  economic  backward- 
ness and  that  only  white  females 
could  lead  the  way. 

He  had  three  reasons  for  this 
argument,  all  common  to  Southern 
white  Protestant  culture  of  the  late 
nineteenth  century.  First,  he  es- 
poused the  Social  Darwinist  notion 
that  whites  were  innately  superior  to 
all  other  races.  Secondly,  he  believed 
that  God  had  endowed  white  women 
as  "the  natural  teachers  of  the  race." 
He  reasoned  that  they  had  both  more 
opportunities  to  teach,  due  to  their 


more  frequent  contact  with  children, 
and  more  natural  ability  than  men. 
To  train  them  as  professional  teachers 
would,  therefore,  be  the  most  efficient 
path  to  economic  progress.  Finally, 
higher  education  for  women  was,  to 
him,  a  matter  of  simple  justice.  He 
had  always  believed  women  to  be  the 
intellectual  equals  of  men,  and  he 
cited  Section  41  of  the  North  Carolina 
Constitution  of  1776  as  the  mandate 
to  provide  affordable  higher  educa- 
tion to  all  of  the  state's  youth,  regard- 
less of  gender. 

The  College  opened  October  5, 
1892,  offering  a  curriculum  that 
emphasized  teacher  training  but 
included  "professional  business" 
courses  in  stenography,  telegraphy, 
typewriting,  and  other  arts  deemed 
suitable  to  women.  With  efficiency 
and  usefulness  as  aims,  it  set  out  to 
provide  high  quality  professional 
education  to  as  many  women  as 
possible.  Dr.  Mclver  saw  a  great 
college  as  one  whose  atmosphere 
reflected  the  love  of  truth  for  its  own 
sake,  equality  before  the  law,  faith  in 
progress,  and  belief  in  God.  The 
school's  motto,  "Service,"  emerged 
out  of  this  philosophy.  In  the  College 
Song,  students  pledged  themselves  to 
a  life  of  service  and  promised  to  keep 


12 


Alumni  News 
Fall*  1992 


the  motto  "deep  graven  on  each 
heart." 

Four  questions  he  imphcit  in  the 
call  to  service  and  bear  further 
investigation:  Who  were  the  women 
serving?  What  services  did  they 
render?  What  personal  qualities  did 
these  aspiring  servants  need  to  have? 
And  finally,  how  did  they  know  what 
was  expected? 

Throughout  the  period  between 
the  world  wars  students  served  two 
masters  —  first,  Christ  and  His 
church,  and  secondly,  the  nation. 
They  also  served  one  mistress  —  their 
college  —  "who,"  from  the  beginning 
was  a  "she,"  a  projection  of  them- 
selves. Service  to  any  one  of  these 
was  service  to  all,  since  they  were 
interrelated  and  reciprocal.  Still, 
motherhood  was  the  supreme  act  of 
service,  and  most  students  aspired 
both  to  careers  and  to  family  life, 
knowing  that  when  the  time  for 
marriage  came  they  would  leave  the 
work  force  to  raise  their  families.  To 
that  end,  the  College  offered  such 
courses  as  psychology  and  mental 
hygiene  to  prepare  students  for  their 
ultimate  careers  in  the  hoine. 

The  most  significant  change  in 
the  "who"  of  service  came  in  religion. 
During  the  twenty-two  years  from 
1919  to  1941,  campus  religious  life 
and  the  administration's  outlook  on 
religion  became  gradually  less 
evangelical  and  more  pluralistic,  a 
pattern  also  true  of  American  Protes- 
tant Christianity.  This  trend  is  shown 
most  clearly  in  the  decreasing  influ- 
ence of  the  campus  YWCA.  In  1919  it 
was  the  dominant  social  and  religious 
force.  Students  were  pressured  to 
join,  and  most  did.  The  Y  published 
the  student  handbook,  with  its  own 
section  taking  up  the  first  thirty-two 
pages  of  the  eighty-page  book.  Y 
representatives  met  freshmen  at  the 
train  and  escorted  them  to  College. 
The  Y's  aim  in  1919  was  evangelical 
and  service-oriented.  Members 
pledged  themselves  to  "joyful 
unselfish  service  to  Christ,  the  King." 

By  1930  the  Student  Government 
Association  (SGA)  and  the  YWCA 


were  equally  important.  The  SGA 
now  published  the  handbook,  but  the 
Y's  section,  while  still  first,  was 
noticeably  shorter  (only  twenty-seven 
pages).  Y  representatives  no  longer 
met  arriving  students  at  the  station. 
The  College  still  saw  itself  as  "dis- 
tinctly Christian  in  spirit,  though 
non-sectarian  in  management."  By 
1940,  its  approach  to  religion  was 
more  intellectual  in  tone.  For  ex- 
ample, the  student  handbook  defined 
religion  as  a  way  of  life  and  thought, 
and  therefore  an  appropriate  part  of 
college  experience  —  almost  an 
apology  for  religious  organizations 
on  campus.  The  Y's  section  of  the 
handbook  was  now  only  seven  pages 
long  and  was  near  the  back,  reflecting 
its  declining  influence.  Its  stated  aim 
was  more  global  and  ecumenical  than 
in  1919  —  to  help  students  under- 
stand their  role  as  citizens  in  the 
world  community. 


In  answer  to  the  cjuestion  of 
how  students  developed  the  qualifi- 
cations necessary  for  service,  we  can 
look  to  the  home  community  as  the 
foundation.  Most  students  had 
already  been  trained  by  their  famihes 
and  by  the  Southern  Protestant 
churches  to  which  they  belonged  to 
aspire  to  a  life  of  service  and  to 
develop  the  personal  traits  necessary 
for  such  a  life.  On  campus  this  social 
shaping  continued  through  three 
channels:  religious  organizations,  the 
peer  group,  and  adult  role  models. 
Institutional  Christianity  maintained 
a  presence  on  campus  throughout  the 
period.  The  evangelically  oriented 
YWCA  dominated  campus  religious 
life  for  the  first  forty  years.  But  on 
the  eve  of  World  War  II  the  Y's 
influence,  while  still  present,  had 
given  way  to  denominational  campus 
ministries  that  stressed  dialogue, 
tolerance,  and  pluralism.  The  peer 
group  exerted  a  powerful  influence 
through  organs  such  as  the  handbook 
and  the  student  newspaper,  The 
CaroUiiiaii.  The  newspaper  editors 


functioned  /;/  loco  pnreiitis,  scolding 
stvidents  whenever  they  saw  a  need. 
For  example,  they  gnashed  their 
collective  teeth  over  the  problem  of 
talking  during  chapel  services,  trying 
every  approach  from  pleading  to 
blatant  finger  wagging,  apparently  to 
no  avail.  They  also  detested  the  use 
of  slang  expressions,  such  as  "Excuse 
me  for  living,  but  I  fell  off  the  hearse" 
and  accused  students  who  used  them 
of  being  verbally  and  mentally  lazy. 

Adult  female  role  models  were 
an  especially  powerful  factor  at 
Woman's  CoUege,  as  they  proved 
that  women  could  begin  to  range 
beyond  their  traditional  spheres. 
Miss  Harriet  Elliott  was  most  be- 
loved. Her  rise  from  instructor  in 
political  science  and  history  (1913)  to 
Dean  of  Students  (1936),  and  finally 
to  a  presidential  appointment  as  head 
of  the  Consumer  Division  of  the 
National  Defense  Advisory  Council 
(1939)  personified  the  changing 
opportunities  for  women.  While 
inspiring  her  students  to  be  free- 
thinking  and  well-informed,  she 
harbored  no  illusions  about  their 
entering  a  world  controlled  by  nien. 
She  told  them  they  would  make  no 
real  difference  as  teachers  if  they 
continued  to  allow  men  to  write 
school  policy.  They  must  make 
change  happen  and  not  wait  fcir  it  to 
come  to  them. 

What  avenues  for  service  were 
most  important  to  students  in  the 
postwar  years  1919  to  1921?  By  1920 
the  school  was  bursting  at  the  seams, 
growing  from  a  student  body  of  223 
in  1892  to  over  800,  and  the  name  had 
changed  to  the  North  Carolina 
College  for  Women  (NCCW).  To 
improve  conditions  students  joined 
the  crusade  for  better  facilities  at  all 
North  Carolina  state  colleges  and 
petitioned  the  General  Assembly  to 
increase  capacity  so  that  no  one 
would  be  turned  away  again.  (In 
1920,  468  women  had  been  refused 
admission  for  lack  of  dorm  space.) 
When  a  new  dormitory  and  dining 
hall  were  approved,  students  reacted 
with  reserved  gratitude.  It  was,  after

all,  no  more  than  they  deserved,  and 
they  hoped  that  lawmakers  would 
now  give  women's  education  equal 
weight  with  men's. 

Students  served  the  larger  society 
through  social  reform  work  off 
campus,  with  the  YWCA  leading  the 
way.  In  1919  the  General  Secretary  of 
the  College  Y,  Lois  MacDonald, 
spearheaded  efforts  to  reform  the 
plight  of  women  in  industry,  espe- 
cially in  Southern  cotton  mills.  She 
championed  such  causes  as  shorter 
hours,  an  end  to  sweatshops,  and 
equal  pay  for  women.  She  believed 
that  experience  was  the  best  teacher, 
and  to  that  end  in  the  summer  of  1923 
she  took  a  small  group  of  students  to 
Atlanta  to  participate  in  an  "indus- 
trial research  experiment."  They 
worked  all  summer  in  a  cotton  mill 
and  lived  in  mill  housing.  They  came 
back  deeply  affected  and  were 
resolved  to  help  their  sisters  in 
industry.  Although  her  work  made 
her  popular  with  students,  the 
administration  thought  she  had 
exceeded  her  bounds  and  was  too 
radical  a  reformer.  She  was  dis- 
missed in  1924. 

Service  to  the  nation  centered  on 
patriotic  work  in  support  of  the  war 
effort  as  late  as  spring  1920.  Volun- 
tary student  organizations,  such  as 
the  Farmerettes,  Carpenterettes,  and 
the  Campus  Squad,  complete  with 
uniforms  and  organized  into  mili- 
tary-type units,  took  up  the  slack  left 
by  male  campus  workers  mobilized 
to  arms.  For  example,  the 
Farmerettes,  in  their  long  khaki  skirts 
and  giant  straw  hats,  tended  the 
College's  vegetable  garden  and 
harvested  the  forty-five  acres  of 
wheat  and  corn  planted  to  ensure 
that  NCCW  would  be  almost  totally 
self-sufficient  in  its  food  supply.  By 
the  fall  of  1920  the  men  had  returned, 
and  the  women  gave  up  their  uni- 
forms. 

The  class  of  1921,  whose  colors 
were  blue  and  white,  captured  the 
spirit  in  their  song  dedicated  to  the 
school  motto: 


Eager  zlv  to  do  our  service, 
Undertake  the  ivaiting  task. 
Blue  and  white  zuill  e'er  inspire  us, 
Lead  us  to  the  goal  at  hist. 

In  1931  the  North  Carolina 
General  Assembly  consolidated  the 
University  into  a  single  system, 
including  campuses  at  Chapel  Hill, 
Raleigh,  and  Greensboro.  As  a  result, 
the  school  changed  names  again  —  to 
Woman's  College  of  The  University 
of  North  CaroUna  (WC).  How  did 
students  serve  their  God,  their  nation, 
and  their  college  in  the  decade  before 
the  United  State  entered  World 
War  II  (1930-41)? 


^ 


In  the  1930s  work  for  social 
reform  was  still  motivated  by  a 
strong  Christian  imperative,  and 
students  were  especially  active  in  two 
areas  —  the  nationwide  student 
pacifist  movement  and  the  fledgling 
efforts  at  greater  racial  understand- 
ing. In  the  first  case,  the  outstanding 
example  was  the  peace  demonstra- 
tion held  on  April  22, 1936,  in  con- 
junction with  a  nationwide  student 
peace  strike.  An  estimated  1,200 
people  at  WC  took  part.  Such 
protests  were  common  on  college 
campuses  as  the  winds  of  war  were 
beginning  to  blow  again  in  Europe, 
and  students  wanted  no  part  of  it  for 
the  United  States.  Historians  have 
referred  to  that  spirit  as  isolationist, 
but  the  students  saw  it  as  pacifist. 
The  crowning  anti-war  statement  was 
the  peace  agenda  WC  women  sent  to 
Congress.  It  opposed  future  arms 
buildup  and  called  for  embargoes  on 
loans,  credits,  and  exports  to  belliger- 
ent nations. 

A  more  local  effort  for  social 
change  centered  on  Southern  institu- 
tional racism,  and,  as  in  the  reform 
efforts  on  behalf  of  female  mill 
workers,  the  YWCA  led  the  way. 
Y  Secretary  Wilmina  Rowland  gave 
WC  students  firsthand  insight  into 
the  absurdity  of  Jim  Crow  laws.  In 
1937  she  invited  local  black  leaders  to 
conduct  seminars  on  campus,  after 


which  they  shared  "ritual  meals" 
with  students.  The  meals  had  to  be 
held  in  the  Students'  Building, 
because  the  dining  hall  refused  to 
admit  blacks.  These  rituals  clearly 
violated  the  law,  but  the  women  who 
took  part  deeply  appreciated  them 
and  Miss  Rowland  for  opening  their 
eyes  to  racial  injustice.  But,  like  her 
forbear,  Lois  MacDonald,  the  admin- 
istration did  not  appreciate  her.  They 
saw  her  efforts  as  too  much,  too  soon, 
and  in  1942  she,  too,  was  dismissed. 
By  1940  democracy  was  a  central 
theme  in  the  nation  as  a  whole.  The 
Carolinian  even  carried  the  slogan 
"Distinguished  for  its  Democracy" 
under  the  masthead  of  every  issue  in 
1940  and  1941.  But  right  up  until  the 
Japanese  attack  on  Pearl  Harbor 
students  vacillated  regarding  U.S.  aid 
to  the  Allies.  At  the  same  time,  they 
never  failed  to  support  the  armed 
forces.  Greensboro  was  the  home  of 
the  Overseas  Replacement  Depot 
(ORD),  and  every  weekend  hundreds 
of  soldiers  came  to  campus  for  dances 
and  friendship.  They  were  received 
warmly.  The  students  even  dedi- 
cated the  entire  issue  of  The  Carolinian 
on  October  17, 1941,  to  the  boys  away 
from  home,  and  it  featured  their 
artwork,  stories,  jokes,  and  editorials. 
Later  that  fall,  the  editorial  "Our 
Men:  We  Women  Must  Look  after 
Them"  clearly  revealed  the  woman's 
role  in  war  as  healer  of  the  nation's  (a 
man's)  wounds  and  called  on  stu- 
dents to  roll  bandages  for  the  Red 
Cross.  They  rallied  to  the  occasion 
and  made  over  1,750  bandages  and 
raised  several  hundred  dollars  in 
donations.  After  our  nation  entered 
World  War  II  on  December  8, 1941, 
students  loyally  supported  the  war 
effort.  The  Carolinian  of  December  12, 
1941,  reports  that  they  took  the  news 
of  Pearl  Harbor  "with  cool  heads" 
and  responded  by  challenging 
themselves  to  ask  "What  can  we  do?" 
instead  of  "What  will  happen  to  me?" 
—  echoes  of  the  call  to  service  heard 
in  1921.  But  in  contrast  to  the  gradu- 
ate of  1921,  who  was  ready  to  be 
placed  wherever  someone  else

thought  she  was  needed,  the  graduate 
of  1941  saw  herself  as  "fit  for  any 
walk  of  life  she  may  wish  to  enter." 
She  was  claiming  the  right  to  take 
initiative  for  herself. 

Most  students  during  the  inter- 
war  period  came  to  college  to  prepare 
for  a  life  of  service.  They  assumed 
that  being  a  woman  and  being  a 
servant,  whether  of  family,  society, 
church,  or  country,  went  hand  in 
hand,  and  most  seemed  proud  of  that 
fact.  While  this  did  not  necessarily 
mean  that  they  were  submissive,  it 
did  mean  that  they  were  influenced 
by  cultural  concepts  of  the  ideal 
woman.  While  specific  images  of  the 
ideal  changed  considerably  during 
the  period,  a  common  thread  is 
evident:  The  women  believed  that, 
by  virtue  of  their  gender,  they  had  a 
duty  to  help  shape  the  social  and 
moral  fabric  of  the  nation.  For  them, 
the  ideal  woman  was  synonymous 
with  ideal  servant.  It  is  useful, 
therefore,  to  look  at  the  traits  students 
admired  and  how  these  changed 
between  1919  and  1941. 

In  1919-21  women  figuratively 
still  had  one  foot  in  the  Victorian  age 
and  one  in  the  modern  era.  The 
Victorian  age  lived  on  in  the  students' 
desire  to  follow  the  model  set  by 
Randolph  Macon  College,  which 
admonished  its  women  "to  act  first  as 
laciies,  then  as  students."  In  1919  TJie 
Cnwlininii  lauded  the  senior  class  as 
specimens  of  true  womanhood  and 
listed  their  outstanding  composite 
traits;  cheerfulness,  poise,  sympathy, 
broadmindedness,  beauty,  dignity, 
brains,  leadership,  and  endurance. 
The  menu  for  the  biology 
department's  picnic  to  honor  the 
seniors  in  1921  best  symbolizes  this 
blend  of  masculine  and  feminine 
qualities:  "steak  and  coffee  over  an 
open  fire,  chocolate  cream  puffs, 
peaches,  and  cake." 

Throtighout  the  ten  years  be- 
tween 1930  and  1940  the  qualities  of 
the  ideal  woman  changed  rather 
dramatically.  Students  demanded 
more  self-determination  in  their 
campus  life,  and  the  effort  focused  on 
Miss  Harriet  Elliott's  concept  of 


"responsible  freedom,"  which 
stressed  self-reliance  and  self-polic- 
ing. In  1930  students  still  voted  for 
superlative  traits  of  the  senior  class, 
but  unlike  in  1920  they  chose  several 
women  who  embodied  each  trait 
rather  than  simply  listing  superla- 
tives. The  winners  were,  in  order  of 
importance,  beauty,  culture,  original- 
ity, sportsmanship,  wisdom,  charm, 
grace,  and  versatility.  Beauty  had 
risen  from  fifth  place  in  1920  to  first 
in  1930  —  a  foretaste  of  the  1940s, 
when  personal  appearance  became  as 
important  as  character. 


By  September  1941  a 
dramatic  change  had  occurred  in  the 
expectation  the  WC  women  had  for 
themselves  with  regard  to  personal 
appearance.  Perhaps  the  insecurity 
of  a  future  in  which  war  loomed  large 
accounted  for  it.  Whatever  the 
reason,  physical  beauty  was,  for  the 
first  time,  expressed  as  an  ideal  body 
type  and  was  as  important  as  charac- 
ter and  "brains."  Miss  Mary 
Channing  Coleman,  head  of  the 
physical  education  department, 
articulated  the  ideal  —  "thumbs 
down  to  the  girl  whose  grades  are  As 
but  who  has  a  figure  like  a  string 
bean."  Even  more  remarkable  was 
the  fact  that  the  women  believed  that 
they  could  and  should  change  their 
figures  to  conform  to  the  ideal.  The 
newspaper  was  a  powerful  mirror, 
praising  students  for  good  grooming 
and  good  looks  in  editorials  such  as 
"Mirrors  Don't  Lie"  and  "Gilding  the 
Lily."  It  is  difficult  to  know  the  real 
relationship  between  advertising  and 
campus  fashions,  but  ads  definitely 
reinforced  the  students'  compulsion 
to  look  their  best.  In  1940-41  The 
CnroUiiinii  regularly  ran  an  ad  for 
Jantzen  foundation  undergarments, 
which  promised  to  make  a  woman 
look  "slim,  smooth,  and  straight  from 
any  angle." 

The  College  celebrated  its  fiftieth 
birthday  in  1942,  and  in  their  tribute 
to  her  the  editors  revealed  their 
perceptions  of  themselves.  They 


lauded  her  as  "a  mature,  emanci- 
pated, and  intelligent  woman  who  is 
sure  of  her  abilities."  The  students 
truly  had  come  a  long  way,  from 
lacking  the  vote  in  1919  to  much 
greater  opportunities  for  personal 
and  vocational  growth  in  1941. 

Y        On  the  eve  of  World  War  II 
women  in  general  were  more  self- 
reliant,  valuing  their  own  needs  and 
opinions  more  highly  than  in  the 
previous  twenty  years.    WC  students 
of  the  late  1930s  and  1940s  were 
"tough-minded  and  less  dreamy" 
than  before.  This  attitude  shows 
especially  in  their  somewhat  con- 
flicted feelings  about  men  and 
marriage.  In  1940  The  Carolmian 
began  a  series  of  articles  focusing  on 
graduating  seniors  and  their  future 
plans,  beginning  with  fashion  design 
major,  Libby  Root.  The  article 
predicts  a  great  future  for  her  if 
"some  fellow  doesn't  snap  her  up 
before  the  fashion  world  lures  her." 
The  use  of  the  seductive  word, 
"lure,"  suggests  that  women  will,  like 
fish,  be  caught  against  their  will  by 
either  a  career  or  a  man.  This  passive 
attitude  is  surprising,  given  the 
students'  outward  appearance  of 
independence.  They  still  assumed 
that  they  could  not  have  both  mar- 
riage and  a  career  outside  the  home, 
but  now  they  were  not  satisfied  with 
that  constraint.  The  women  of  1940 
seemed  unsure  about  the  degree  of 
power  they  had  over  their  own  lives 
—  a  well-foundeci  doubt. 

Women  did  inake  great  strides  in 
the  interwar  years,  but  within  the 
confines  of  a  world  dominated  by 
men.  Some  were  content  to  pursue 
careers  as  wives  and  mothers  or  as 
professional  women,  aware  of  the 
double  standard  and  doing  their  best 
within  the  limits  it  imposed.  Others 
kicked  against  the  barriers,  deter- 
nimed  to  break  them  down.  But 
whichever  response  they  chose,  for 
graduates  of  Woman's  College  the 
motto  and  mission  of  service  was, 
indeed,  "deep  graven  on  each  heart."

New  Graduate  Program 
Links  with  Peace  Corps 

Eighteen  US  universities  have 
teamed  up  with  the  Peace  Corps  to  otter 
the  iVlaster's  Internationalist  Program. 
UNCG  is  one  of  them. 

After  a  year  of  on-campus  study  in  the 
School  of  Human  Environmental  Sciences 
and  two  years  of  volunteer  service  with 
the  Peace  Corps,  students  will  receive  a 
master  of  education  degree  in  either 
nutrition  or  home  economics  education. 

The  Corps  has  more  than  five 
thousand  volunteers  and  trainees  in 
eighty-four  nations.  "They  say  it's  the 
toughest  job  you'll  ever  love." 

One  goal  of  the  Master's 
Internationalist  Program  is  to  provide 
volunteers  at  the  master's  degree  level 
who  have  "scarce  skills"  the  Peace  Corps 
needs  —  health/nutrition,  home  econom- 
ics, forestry,  and  education,  according  to 
Robin  Dean,  university  program  coordina- 
tor for  the  Peace  Corps. 

Acting  dean  Ed  Powers  says  UNCG 
plans  to  begin  offering  the  program  in 
June  1 993.  Participants  must  apply  to 
Graduate  School  and  the  Peace  Corps 
about  SIX  months  before  they  wish  to 
begin.  "Students  who  want  more  ad- 
vancement in  their  field  of  study  and  want 
to  put  that  training  to  some  useful 
purpose  will  find  the  program  desirable," 
said  Dr.  Powers.  "A  master's  degree 
coupled  with  volunteer  service  will 
provide  attractive  employment  opportuni- 
ties." 

Dr.  Powers  believes  the  program  will 
lure  excellent  students  and  fine  individu- 
als to  UNCG.  "The  program  will  clearly 
advertise  our  School  nationally.  It  will 
make  our  curriculum  more  sensitive  to 
the  world  situation."

Bid  a  hearty  welcome  to  your 
new  Alumni  Association  President,

Alumni  Records  Needs 
Your  Phone  Books 

With  nearly  60,000  alumni  to  keep 
track  of,  you  can  imagine  what  a 
daunting  task  is  before  the  Alumni 
Records  Office.  The  staff  plays  a  daily 
game  of  sleuth  in  trying  to  locate  lost 
alumni.  Tracer  cards  and  phone  calls 
help  find  alumni  through  relatives  and 
alumni  classmates. 

You  can  help.  If  you  live  outside 
the  Piedmont  Triad,  please  send  a 
current  telephone  book  from  your 
area.  Contributing  your  phone  book 
saves  the  University  a  tremendous 
expense  and  helps  us  research  lost 
alumni.  Bring  or  mail  your  local  phone 
book  to  Alumni  Records  Office,  Alumni 
House,  1000  Spring  Garden  Street, 
UNCG,  Greensboro,  NC  27412-5001.

history.  Her  presidency  continues 
through  July  1, 1994,  the  date  the 
Association  marks  its  independence 
as  a  self-supporting  organization. 

But  Anne  is  no  newcomer  to 
Association  business.  As  President- 
Elect  during  1991-92,  Anne  "trained" 
under  President  Ann  Phillips 
McCracken  '60.  Before  that,  Anne 
served  on  the  Alumni  Association 
Board  of  Trustees  as  District  4 
representative.  While  a  Trustee,  she 
was  appointed  to  the  Board's  Execu- 
tive Committee.  She  also  served  as 
chair  of  the  Editorial  Board;  you  saw 
her  name  on  the  masthead  of  Alumni 
Neivs  during  1990-91.  Anne  has 
hosted  several  special  events  for 
alumni  in  Johnston  County. 

Anne  has  other  University 
connections.  She  serves  as  co-chair  in 
arranging  her  class  reunions  every 


five  years,  and  she  is  a  former  Assis- 
tant Director  of  Admissions  at 
UNCG. 

Anne  has  been  a  mathematics 
teacher  in  a  high  school  and  a  com- 
munity college.  She  is  active  in  her 
community,  having  served  on  the 
board  of  directors  of  the  Library  of 
Smithfield  and  Johnston  County.  She 
is  a  member  of  the  academic  booster 
club  and  a  volunteer  at  Smithfield 
High  School. 

A  Raleigh  native,  Anne  has  lived 
in  Smithfield  since  1978.  She  is 
married  to  John  C.  "Jack"  Tate  III. 
Meg,  their  daughter,  is  a  freshman  at 
Wake  Forest  University. 

Welcome  Anne  to  the  helm. 
Send  her  a  note  of  congratulations  at

ern Pines  will  continue  as  Editorial

Chapter  Kick-off  Luncheon 


Alumni  throughout  the

interest  in  forming  local 
alumni  chapters.  In

oping and  maintaining  a  chapter, 
learning  how  to  set  a  chapter's  dues, 
what  kinds  of  programs  to  offer,  and 
what  support  services  are  available

Committee  Studying 
Goals  Statement 
Wants  Your  Views 

When  the  University  adopted  a 
new  Mission  and  Goals  Statement  in 
1983,  the  campus  praised  the  defini- 
tion it  gave  in  mapping  our  academic 
future.  Now,  nearly  ten  years  later,  a 
review  has  begun  to  determine  if  the 
Statement  remains  viable  or  whether  it 
should  be  revised  in  response  to  new 
academic  trends. 

Chancellor  William  E.  IVIoran  has 
appointed  a  hard-worl<ing  group,  the 
Mission  Review  Committee,  to  study 
the  1983  Mission  and  Goals  State- 
ment. Alumni  appointees  are  Alicia 
Fields-Minkins  '86  and  Carol  Furey 
Matney  '63.  They  are  very  interested 
in  your  opinions  about  the  current 
Statement,  and  they  solicit  your 
comments.  Drop  them  a  line  in  care 
of  the  Office  of  Administration  and 
Planning,  304  Mossman  Building, 
UNCG,  Greensboro,  NC  27412-5001. 

You'll  have  a  chance  to  meet  the 
members  of  the  Mission  Review 
Committee  at  Mclver  Conference  this 
year  An  alumni  forum  is  planned  for 
open  discussion  about  the  Mission 
and  Goals  Statement.  Your  input  is 
valuable  as  the  University  charts  its 
academic  future. 


Mission  and  Goals  Statement 

The  University  of  North  Carolina  at  Greensboro 


The  University  of  North  CaroHna 
at  Greensboro  has  a  special  place  in 
public  higher  education  in  North 
Carolina.  It  has  a  long-standing 
commitment  to  the  liberal  arts  in  all 
undergraduate  education.  It  is  also  a 
doctoral-granting  institution  with 
unique  authorization  to  concentrate 
its  resources  on  a  select  number  of 
doctoral  programs.  These  charac- 
teristics provide  a  comparative 
advantage  to  the  University  in 
carrying  out  a  special  mission:  to 
provide  excellence  in  mutually 
supportive  graduate  and  under- 
graduate education  to  men  and 
women  of  every  race,  and  to  achieve 
national  recognition  in  selected 
programs. 

Given  this  unique  mission,  the 
following  goals  obtain  for  the  period 
through  1991: 

a.  To  provide  the  best  opportunity  in 
The  University  of  North  Carolina 
system  for  all  undergraduates  to 
secure  an  education  firmly  based 
in  the  liberal  arts 

b.  To  provide  the  best  undergraduate 
professional  preparation  in  The 
University  of  North  Carolina 
system  in  selected  fields 

c.  To  provide  excellent  master's 
programs,  especially  to  meet  the 
needs  of  North  Carolina's  urban 


d.  To  achieve  national  recognition  for 
all  doctoral  programs  and  selected 
master's  programs 

e.  To  stimulate  and  support 
excellence  in  teaching  and 
enhanced  faculty-student 
relationships 

f.  To  stimulate  and  support 
productive  and  high  quality 
research,  scholarship,  and  creative 
expression 

g.  To  nurture  a  strong  sense  of 
community  and  to  develop  a 
distinctive  intellectual,  cultural, 
and  social  life  in  the  University 
through  curricular  and  co- 
curricular  programs 

h.  To  seek  opportunities  consistent 
with  the  University's  standards  for 
teaching,  creative  expression,  and 
research,  to  serve  the  people  of  the 
state  and  to  promote  under- 
standing of  the  mutual  benefits

THE  UNCG  ALUMNI  ASSOCIATION 

GREENSBORO,  NORTH  CAROLINA  27412-5001 

We've  talked  so  much  about  the  new  Alumni  Association  these  last  couple 
of  years  that  you  may  be  asking,  "What  happened  to  the  old  Alumni 
Association?" 

Well,  there  isn't  one 

The  new  Alumni  Association,  now  taking  brave  first  steps  toward 
independence,  is  the  exciting  reincarnation  of  the  Alumni  Association 
you've  known  all  along. 

But  there's  something  different: 

Starting  now,  your  contribution  to  the  University  will  not  count  as 

membership  in  the  Alumni  Association.  IVIembership  is  obtained  through 

annual  dues  of  $25  ($40  for  couples).  In  return,  you'll  enjoy  these 

benefits: 

•  Subscription  to  Alumni  News 

•  Invitations  to  special  alumni  events 

•  Travel  announcements  on  the  Alumni  Tour  Program 

•  Discounts  on  certain  University  services 

Of  course,  you'll  want  to  continue  your  yearly  contribution  to  the 
University's  Annual  Program.  UNCG  needs  your  support  now  more 
than  ever. 

But  by  July  1,  1994,  the  UNCG  Alumni  Association  will  cease  to  be  funded 
through  the  University's  Annual  Program.  Only  your  membership  dues 
and  special  gifts  will  keep  the  Alumni  Association  going.  That's  what  we 
mean  by  "independence.  "And  that's  what  makes  It  the  new  Alumni 
Association. 

Won  7  you  join  today?

FROM  THE  PRESIDENT 


Ann  Phillips  McCmcken  '60,  Immediate  Past 
President  of  the  Aliintni  Association,  lives  hi  Sanford. 


Congratulations  to  you  strong 
people  who  have  been 
through  it  all. .  .the  ups,  the 
downs... the  good  times,  the 
bad  times. .  .the  hopes,  the 
dreams. . .,  the  fears  and  worries. .  .the 
pain  and  tears... the  heartache,  the 
ecstasy ..  .the  craziness,  the  joy. .  .the 
comedy,  the  tragedy... the  laughter, 
the  exhaustion,  the  anticipation. .  .and 
that  was  all  just  since  yesterday! 

This  is  how  I  began  my  remarks 
to  the  reunioning  classes  at  the 
General  Meeting  of  the  Alumni 
Association  on  May  16  in  Aycock 
Auditorium.  Actually,  these  words 
were  from  the  Mother's  Day  card  I 
received  from  my  okiest  daughter, 
but  I  thought  the  sentiments  were 
appropriate  for  this  occasion.  I  knew 
everybody  at  the  meeting  had 
experienced,  to  some  degree,  this 
roller  coaster  of  emotions  and  events, 
not  just  since  yesterday  but  also  over 
a  lifetime.  And  I  assured  them  that 
the  UNCG  Alumni  Association  had 
run  the  same  gamut  of  emotions  over 
the  last  five  or  so  years. 

I  believe  the  most  difficult  times 
are  behinci  us,  however,  and  we  can 


anticipate  our  new  Association  and  a 
renewed  sense  of  commitment  to  it 
and  to  the  University.  As  we  end  the 
celebration  of  UNCG's  Centennial, 
we  will  begin  the  Centennial  of  the 
UNCG  Alumni  Association  in  1993. 
I  hope  we  can  celebrate  this  historical 
event  by  honoring  those  young 
women  who  felt  the  need  to  establish 
an  organization  that  would  support 
the  Normal  School  and  wotild 
provide  a  link  to  their  school  and  to 
each  other.  We  can  honor  them  and 
their  legacy  to  us,  I  believe,  by 
supporting  our  new  Association  with 
our  active  participation.  Susan 
Whittington  '72  has  led  the  Transition 
Committee  to  exciting,  decisions  thus 
far,  and  each  of  the  Transition  Chairs 
and  Subcommittees  has  worked  hard 
to  ensure  an  Association  that  would 
truly  reflect  the  needs  and  charac- 
teristics of  UNCG  alumni.  You  will 
soon  be  asked  to  approve  new  By- 
Laws,  and  you  will  find  an 
Association  that  incorporates  and 
blends  the  original  purposes  of  1893 
with  the  expanded  needs  and 
challenges  of  our  second  one  hundred 
years. 

Since  this  is  my  last  article  for 
Alumni  News,  I  will  use  it  not  only  to 
urge  your  continued  support  for  the 
Association  but  to  express  my 
feelings  for  you  and  the  University. 
I  have  talked  about  the  characteristics 
of  UNCG  alumni.  What  does  that 
mean?  Obviously,  you  are  the  strong 
people  I  mentioned  earlier,  but  you 
have  something  special.  In  this  time 
of  political  campaigning,  the  defining 
of  common  values  is  an  issue,  and 
one,  I  am  sure,  that  would  take  us 
down  many  different  paths.  How 
does  or  should  a  university  instill 
common  values,  or  are  students  with 
common  dreams  and  values  attracted 
to  a  university?  Again,  the  answers 
to  these  questions  might  vary.  But  if 


there  is  one  underlying  reason  that 
UNCG  alumni  are  special,  it  is 
because  they  heed  the  University's 
call  to  service.  This  charge  to  serve 
seems  to  bring  a  built-in  value  system 
that  influences  our  lives  forever.  In 
the  June  8, 1992,  issue  of  Newsweek, 
Senator  Bill  Bradley  is  quoted: 

"A  few  weeks  ago  my  wife  got  a 
flyer  from  a  book  club  promising  no 
risk,  no  commitments.  Not  a  bad 
deal,  but  you  can  lose  out  on  a  lot  in 
life  by  not  taking  risks  or  making 
commitments.  There  is  the  idea  that 
the  only  way  to  achieve  real 
happiness  is  lose  yourself  in  the 
service  of  others." 

I  have  seen  you  take  risks  and 
make  commitments  in  your  service  to 
the  Association,  to  the  University, 
and  to  the  world  beyond.  My 
mother,  a  1933  graduate  who  has 
always  loved  and  supported  UNCG 
and  who  just  recently  finished  two 
terms  of  risk-taking  on  her  town 
council,  epitomizes  the  commitment 
to  service  asked  of  us  by  this 
University.  I  am  proud  of  her  and  of 
all  of  you  who  continue  to  honor  our 
legacy  and,  as  I  ended  my  remarks  at 
the  General  Meeting,  to  say  with  the 
poet  Natasha  Josefowitz: 

1  am  my  sister's  keeper 

we're  in  this  together 

not  to  win 

not  to  compete 

not  to  conquer 

but  to  educate 

to  nurture 

to  help 

zoe  are  eacli  the  otlier's  keeper 

let  us  celebrate 

the  power  within  us  all 

to  make  the  difference 

to  change  the  world.

A  LETTER  FROM  HOME 


As  the  celebration  of  the 
University's  first  century 
draws  to  a  close,  it  is  time 
to  celebrate  the  contribu- 
tions of  alumni  to  the 
University's  proud  history.  The  Class 
of  1893,  called  the  school's  "first  born" 
by  Dr.  Mclver,  promptly  formed  the 
Alumnae  Fellowship  and  chose  for  its 
motto,  "Service,"  the  motto  later 
adopted  by  the  College.  Thus,  as  the 
University's  Centennial  is  concluding, 
your  Alumni  Association  is  just 
entering  its  own  hundredth  anniver- 
sary celebration.  Those  first  alumnae, 
only  ten  in  number  but  large  in  spirit, 
made  their  first  project  the  establish- 
ment of  a  student  loan  fund,  the 
precursor  of  the  present  Alumni 
Scholar  Program. 

In  1903,  the  General  Education 
Board  offered  the  ten-year-old 
Alumnae  Fellowship  $7,500  for  the 
Student  Loan  Fund,  provided  the 
alumnae  raised  a  matching  amount 
over  three  years.  They  succeeded.  As 
early  as  1907,  fifty-eight  of  North 
Carolina's  one  hundred  counties  had 
local  alumnae  organizations. 

Soon  after  its  incorporation  in 
1910,  the  Alumnae  Association  made 
a  major  difference  in  the  future  of  this 
institution  by  purchasing  the  Teague 
property  on  Spring  Garden  Street 
when  the  College  was  financially 
unable  to.  Later,  when  the  College 
was  able  to  buy  the  property,  the 


Alumnae  Tea  Room  on  the  site 
became  part  of  the  present  Curry 
Building. 

Our  own  publication.  Alumnae 
News,  appeared  in  1912,  and  1919  saw 
the  appointment  of  an  alumnae 
secretary.  Then  years  of  work  led  to 
one  of  the  biggest  differences  made 
by  alumnae:  the  Alumni  House. 
Largely  funded  by  contributions,  it 
was  commissioned,  built,  furnished, 
managed,  and  given  debt-free  by  the 
alumnae  to  the  College.  The  Alumni 
House  was  dedicated  in  1937  and 
remains  the  headquarters  of  your 
association,  the  focus  of  many 
campus  activities  and,  for  you  the 
alumni,  your  "home"  at  the  University. 

In  1962,  the  Alumnae  Association 
provided  $1,000  in  seed  money  to 
help  the  College  initiate  its  own 
Annual  Giving  Program  and  merged 
its  Alumnae  Annual  Giving  resources 
with  those  of  the  College. 

The  Alumni  Association  in  1975 
financed  the  first  UNCG  phonothon 
(the  Baltimore  chapter's  idea),  which 
has  since  become  a  staple  fimd  raiser 
of  the  Development  Program. 

In  1978,  the  Alumni  Association 
supplied  matching  funds  to  enable 
the  University  to  qualify  for  a  gift 
establishing  the  Ferguson  Scholar- 
ships for  outstanding  out-of-state 
students. 

In  1981,  Mecklenburg  County 
alumni  formed  the  first  booster  club 
for  Spartan  soccer,  leading  the  way  in 
funding  and  moral  support  for  one 
segment  of  men's  athletics  at  the 
University. 

For  the  Centennial,  the  alumni 
have  sponsored  the  splendid  Centen- 
nial Singers  and  hosted  a  series  of 
receptions  where  they  performed. 
You  co-sponsored  those  excellent 
student  spokespersons,  the  Univer- 
sity Ambassadors.  The  Alumni 


Association  commissioned  Centennial 
Roots,  a  painting  of  the  Foust  Build- 
ing by  alumnus  William  Mangum  '75, 
and  the  Association  is  marketing  an 
edition  of  prints  from  it.  Alumni  also 
attended  events  on  campus  and 
furnished  much  of  the  historical 
material  that  has  enriched  the  cel- 
ebration. 

You  the  alumni  are  the 
University's  chief  constituency  and 
the  thread  of  continuity  that  ties  the 
sacrifices  and  dedication  of  the  past 
to  the  successes  of  the  present. 

Alumni  have  been  making  the 
difference  between  mediocrity  and 
excellence,  between  failure  and 
success  at  this  University  from  its 
beginnings.  Today,  you  are  continu- 
ing to  serve  as  Governors  and 
Trustees,  as  members  of  the  Excel- 
lence Foundation,  the  Centennial 
Planning  Board,  the  advisory  boards 
of  schools  and  departments,  the 
Alumni  Board  of  Trustees  and 
Association  committees,  as  officers 
and  organizers  in  local  chapters,  and 
as  contributors,  recruiters,  and 
advocates. 

What  better  way  for  you  to 
commemorate  a  century  of  service  to 
education  than  by  renewing  your 
relationship  with  your  Alumni 
Association?  Every  act  of  service  is 
valued,  and  each  of  you  can  make  a 
difference  at  your  college  home.

REUNION  REPORT 


by  Juanita  Stott 


When  women  (no  men  in  our  class)  reach 
their  85th  (or  greater)  birthday,  they  usually 
have  health  problems  —  and  the  Class  of  1927 
has  them!  Unfortunately  we  couldn't  leave 
those  problems  at  home,  so  we  brought  them 
along  —  the  lame  their  canes,  the  deaf  their 
hearing  aids,  the  visually  impaired  their 
glasses.  We  wonder  about  the  problems  of  the 
over  one  hundred  others  who  did  not  come. 

Only  two  came  Friday  to  spend  the  night 
in  North  Spencer  (Stott  and  Brinton).  We  were 
given  keys  to  our  rooms  and  the  front  door  — 
as  if  any  of  us  old  timers  were  going  to  be 
coming  in  after  the  front  door  was  locked  at 
midnight.  We  could  hardly  wait  to  get  back  to 
the  dorm  to  go  to  bed  early. 

Try  and  find  your  way  to  the  University 
Dining  Hall  —  through  a  tunnel  and  up  stairs 
—  to  those  two  wonderful  meals  (dinner  and 
breakfast).  It  was  easy,  though,  to  find  the 
Saturday  luncheon  location  in  Elliott  Center, 
where  all  eight  of  us  got  together  with  the 


daughters  of  some  of  us  —  plus  one  member 
of  the  Class  of  1928.  There  was  no  problem 
there  —  we  can  still  eat  like  college  students. 
What  a  delicious  and  quickly-served  lunch. 

We  had  been  recognizee!  and  "pinned" 
with  daisy  corsages  at  the  General  Alumni 
Meeting  in  Aycock  where  memories  of  having 
marched  in  greater  numbers  at  our  50th 
reunion  came  back  to  us  as  the  Class  of  1942 
came  in  to  their  special  section.  We  regret 
some  of  our  eight  members  did  not  get  in  our 
picture  on  the  front  steps  of  Aycock  because 
we  on  the  outside  didn't  know  they  were 
waiting  inside. 

We  enjoyed  a  short  meeting  in  the 
Alumni  House  after  the  luncheon  —  but  some 
of  us  missed  that.  However,  we  were  able  to 
share  a  few  bits  of  information  and  memories 
and  looked  at  pictures  and  mementos  of 
earlier  reunions.  Juanita  Stott  (secretary) 
presided  in  the  absence  of  our  everlasting 
president,  Susan  Borden.

REUNION  REPORT 

by  Sue  Horner  Sample 


You  really  missed  it  —  you  gals  (nov^^  in 
your  eighties)  of  the  Class  of  1932  —  if  you  did 
not  attend  our  60th  reunion!  This  was  the  best 
one  of  all,  even  though  there  were  only  sixteen 
of  us  including  our  everlasting  president, 
Avery  McConnell  Hood. 

We  had  fun  from  the  very  beginning.  On 
arrival,  we  went  immediately  to  the  desk  to 
register  our  august  presences.  We  rated  the 
same  handsome  ribbon-pleated  tags  (minus 
our  yearbook  photographs)  as  did  the  main 
guests  of  honor,  the  members  celebrating  their 
50th  reunion. 

I've  never  been  to  a  reunion  or  convention 
of  any  kind  that  was  so  well  organized.  The 
minute  we  stepped  into  the  tastefully 
redecorated  Virginia  Dare  Room,  we  were  met 
with  true  southern  hospitality.  Busy  as  he 
must  be  at  all  times,  handsome  Vice 
Chancellor  Skip  Moore  was  right  there  to  greet 
us.  He  made  our  day  by  remarking,  "You  look 
too  young  to  be  celebrating  a  60th  reunion." 
Of  course,  we  fell  in  love  with  him  on  the  spot. 
We  were  also  blessed  with  the  help  of  another 
handsome  individual.  King  Alexander,  who 
had  been  appointed  to  take  care  of  the  Class  of 
1932. 

As  we  boarcf  ed  a  bus  provided  for  a  tour 
of  our  beloved  campus,  we  were  all  eager  to 
see  what  changes  had  been  made.  Were  we  in 
for  surprises! 

We  were  housed  in  North  Spencer.  The 
accommodating  student  who  helped  us 
unload  the  car  saw  the  big  floor  fan  1  brought 
along  to  cool  our  room  and  said,  "Oh,  you 
won't  need  that.  The  building  is  air 
conditioned."  I  had  never  roomed  in  a  coed 
hall  except  in  hotels,  but  we  enjoyed  meeting 
the  nice  young  men  who  were  staying  over  for 


graduation  entering  and  exiting  rooms  very 
near  our  own.  They  were  most  gracious  to  us 
"little  old  ladies." 

Following  dinner  we  returned  to  the 
Virginia  Dare  Room  where  1  was  proud  to 
introduce  my  great-nephew,  David  Bryan,  a 
rising  junior  in  the  School  of  Music  and  a 
member  of  the  Show  Choir.  Accompanied  by 
talented  Lee  Steward,  David  presented  a  vocal 
program  for  us.  We  wished  we  had  invited  all 
reunion  guests  to  join  us. 

Early  Saturday  morning  we  went  to 
breakfast  in  the  renovated  old  Spencer  Dining 
Room  where  alumni  of  the  School  of  Human 
Environmental  Sciences  met.  1  was  the  only 
member  of  the  Class  of  '32  represented  and 
probably  the  oldest  person  there. 

We  shuttle-bused  to  Aycock  Auditorium 
for  the  Annual  Meeting.  Honored  for  their 
50th  reunion,  the  Class  of  '42  entered  last  in  a 
body,  making  an  impressive  show  dressed  all 
in  white. 

Provost  Don  DeRosa  welcomed  the  group 
and  Ann  Phillips  McCracken  '60,  President  of 
the  Alumni  Association,  presided  with  dignity 
and  humor.  Of  great  interest  was  the 
recognition  of  two  graduates  present,  one 
ninety-seven  and  another  ninety-four! 

Inevitably,  finances  are  discussed  at  a 
meeting  of  any  organization,  and  the  1992 
Reunion  was  no  exception.  A  contribution  of 
$350  entitles  one  to  a  Life  Membership  in  the 
Association,  and  $L000,  which  may  be  paid  in 
installments,  earns  membership  in  the  "One- 
In-a-Million  Club."  We  should  all  try  to 
cooperate,  if  even  on  a  small  scale. 

We  now  look  forward  to  our  65th  reunion 
and  hope  we'll  still  be  around  to  attend!

REUNION  REPORT 

by  Grace  Harriman  Black 


Ten  hale  and  hearty  and  quite  well- 
preserved  alumnae  of  the  Class  of  '37  met  in 
Greensboro.  We  had  a  wonderful  time 
reminiscing  and  catching  up  on  absent 
classmates.  There  were  far,  far  too  many 
absent  ones!  Some  who  had  said  they  were 
coming  failed  to  show,  and  we  didn't  know 
why.  Found  out  later  that  one  became  ill  and 
had  to  be  hospitalized.  She's  fine  now.  Only 


one  wrote  —  Susan  Hamlin  Jamme.  It  was 
impossible  to  decide  upon  a  project  for  the 
Class  of  '37  with  so  few  present.  We  need 
more  class  spirit!  If  any  absent  alumnae  can 
give  us  a  clue  how  to  motivate  better 
attendance,  we'd  love  to  hear  from  you. 

Class  of  1937,  save  the  second  weekend  in 
May  1997,  and  let's  all  come  to  WCUNC  for 
our  60th!

REUNION  REPORT 

by  Mary  Irvin  "Fuzzie"  Thompson  Reavis 


How  sweet  it  is!  And  it  didn't  dare  rain 
on  our  parade  as  old  friends  met  again  on 
campus  to  "reune"  together  to  share  the  old 
memories  and  learn  of  the  new.  When  I'm 
asked  why  we  have  a  reunion  almost  annually, 
without  hesitation  I  reply  simply  that  it  has 
become  a  way  of  life  with  us  —  we  don't  want 
to  let  too  long  a  time  elapse  without  seeing 
each  other.  As  usual,  alumni  welcomed  us  and 
then  allowed  us  to  do  our  own  thing. 

Our  first  "field  trip"  was  to  Yum-Yums. 
Louise  Daniels  Miller  claims  to  remember  the 
WC  vanilla  tasted  like  Jergens  lotion.  Those  of 
us  who  came  on  Friday  got  settled  in  and 
t^uickly  caught  up  on  the  latest.  Our  sessions 
were  peppered  with  talk  of  retirement, 
volunteer  work,  and  new  aches  'n  pains  as  we 
turnecl  our  good  ear  to  hear  the  comparisons  of 
symptoms  among  our  "therapy/support" 
group.  It's  always  good  to  feel  so  comfortable 
together  discussing  whatever  we  choose  and 
knowing  the  others  truly  care.  That's  what 
makes  us  so  special!  (Admittedly,  we  were 
more  eager  this  year  to  hail  those  campus 
vans.) 

Our  memory  gal,  Edna  Freeman  Murray, 
asked  if  we  remembered  our  KP  duty  shifts 
and  those  wonderful  "Golden  Rod"  eggs.  We 


persuaded  our  female  Will  Rogers,  Rosa  Mac 
Coghill,  to  again  tell  her  fimny  story  which  has 
become  an  integral  part  of  our  agenda. 

Always  glad  to  see  our  Greensboro 
faithfuls  Louise  Stigall  Tripp  (younger  every 
year),  Ethlyn  Earnhardt  Kearns,  who  just 
reti.irned  from  a  Bahama  cruise,  and  Betty  Jo 
Kirby  Kidd,  who  leaves  soon  for  Australia, 
New  Zealand,  and  the  Fiji  Islands.  Yours  truly 
leaves  mid  June  for  Jolly  Ole  England  and 
nearby  countries.  Betty  Sawyer  Parker 
(looking  so  trim)  had  just  celebrated  her  18th 
anniversary,  and  Edna  Freeman  Murray  her 
25th.  Jean  Page  Barnett  came  the  greatest 
distance,  flying  in  from  Houston,  Texas.  She 
had  just  returned  from  a  trip  to  Bangkok  and 
Hong  Kong.  Of  course,  we  made  our  trip  by 
"home."  Hinshaw  now  overlooks  the  new 
soccer  field,  and  just  a  short  distance  away  is 
the  new  Student  Recreation  Center. 

As  Kathy  Tilley  Hinkle  put  it,  "We  are  a 
loyal  group"  with  a  deep  bond  we  plan  to 
keep.  Our  next  plans  are  for  1994,  so  double 
up  on  your  vitamins  and  get  ready.  Do  keep 
us  informed  of  changes/news. 

Thanks,  classmates,  for  another  cherished 
weekend!

REUNION  REPORT 


by  Alice  Farmer  Davis 


The  Class  of  1947  had  always  been 
considered  a  "peppy"  class.  Forty-five  years 
later  on  May  15  and  16, 1992,  sixty-five 
members  returned  to  prove  that  we  still  have 
that  same  spirit. 

Some  came  for  the  first  time  and  were 
amazed  at  the  changes  on  our  "WC"  campus. 
We  listened  to  our  classmates'  tales  of  families, 
grandchildren,  careers,  travel,  and  retirement. 

Our  loyal  and  enthusiastic  Greensboro 
girls  were  the  greatest  hostesses.  They 
planned  activities  that  highlighted  the 
weekend.  The  luncheon  at  the  Greensboro 
City  Club  at  noon  Friday  commenced  our  fun, 
followed  by  a  social  hour  and  dinner  that  night 
at  Weatherspoon  Art  Gallery  with  a  large 
number  of  husbands  joining  us. 

Our  class  meeting  Saturday  proved  that 
we  were  still  loyal  to  our  alma  mater  as  we 


made  plans  for  our  fiftieth  reunion.  The 
discussions  were  so  lively  that  occasionally 
our  president  had  to  blow  her  whistle  to  signal 
order. 

It  was  so  exciting  to  check  the  sign-in 
sheet  in  the  Alumni  House  to  determine  the 
new  arrivals.  It  was  even  more  fun  to  test  our 
memory  for  names  before  looking  at  the 
person's  button  with  her  name  on  it.  And  one 
classmate  brought  her  class  jacket  again  —  still 
in  good  condition. 

When  the  two  days  ended,  it  was  time  to 
recall  how  much  we  cherished  our  education 
and  the  friendships  that  we  made.  We  felt 
exceedingly  fortunate  to  have  been  among 
those  present,  and  we  missed  those  who  were 
absent.

During  Reunion  Weekend  1992  the  Class 
of  '52  swept  the  honors  with  two  Alumni 
Distinguished  Service  Awards.  Dr.  Betty 
Bullard  and  Alice  Faucette  Callahan  won  the 
coveted  awards,  a  feat  accomplished  only  once 
before,  by  the  Class  of  '19  in  1969. 

Prior  to  the  Annual  Meeting  of  the 
Alumni  Association  on  Saturday  morning,  the 
Class  of  '52  was  royally  entertained  on  Friday 
evening  by  the  local  arrangements  committee, 
chaired  by  Doris  Huffines  Bernhardt.  Special 
gi.iests  at  our  party  were  Miss  Lillian 
Cunningham,  former  counselor  in  Jamison, 
and  Dr.  Laura  Anderton,  biology  professor 
and  residence  hall  counselor.  Barbara  Harris 
Richmond  sang  her  original  song  accompanied 
by  Doris,  and  EUenor  Eubanks  Sheppard  read 
a  poem  capturing  the  differences  between  life 
"then"  and  "now."  The  entire  talented 
committee  presented  a  skit  of  what  life  was 
like  then,  remembering  such  events  as  posture 
pictures.  Coney  Island,  and  all  those  other 
things  that  were  part  of  our  lives. 

After  a  wilder  night  than  most  of  us  were 
accustomed  to,  we  rose  to  a  warm  day,  the 


Annual  Meeting,  lunch  in  Cone  Ballroom,  and 
then  our  last  meeting  m  Alderman  Lounge  of 
Elliott  Center  with  President  June  Rainey 
Honeycutt  presiding.  We  cheered  Bullard  and 
Alice.  Then,  on  a  more  serious  note,  Bullard 
read  the  list  of  classmates  who  have  died  in  the 
last  forty  years,  and  Sars  offered  a  prayer  in 
their  memory. 

June  again  recognized  the  wonderful 
committee  of  Greensboro-area  people  who 
planned  and  gave  us  such  a  great  weekend. 
We  went  around  the  room  so  those  who  were 
not  here  Friday  night  could  tell  about 
themselves.  Across  the  weekend  a  total  of 
eighty-one  classmates  signed  in  at  the  Alumni 
House. 

If  you  weren't  there,  you  missed  a  fine 
time,  and  you  can  be  sure  you  were  missed. 
Already  we  began  to  talk  of  an  appropriate  gift 
to  the  University  at  our  50th.  June  will  get  in 
touch  with  you  about  that.  Plan  now  to  be  at 
the  45th,  so  we  can  have  the  best  reunion  ever 
in  2002.

REUNION  REPORT 


by  Donna  Snyder  Duke 


Reunions  provide  opportunities  to  swap 
current  experiences  with  people  who  shared 
some  very  formative  college  years  together.  At 
the  May  1992  sessions  we  heard  that  several 
had  learned  sober  lessons  on  surviving 
important  items  on  the  so-called  trauma  scales: 
Divorce  and  death  of  spouses  and  parents. 
Current  jobs  included  teaching,  management, 
marketing,  specialized  merchandising,  lab 
work,  social  research  interviewing,  and 
graphic  design. 

For  these  reunions  someone  suggested 
that  we  look  at  the  class  members  who  are  five 
years  ahead  of  us  to  see  ourselves  in  that 
period.  This  year  the  Class  of  '52  not  only 
looked  good,  but  seemed  to  enjoy  each  other's 
company  whenever  they  gathered.  Of  course, 
the  Class  of  '42,  celebrating  its  50th  reunion, 
was  the  most  impressive.  Many  of  them  were 
probably  the  backbone  of  the  teacher  corps  of 
the  state  for  decades.  They  looked  wonderful 
and  were  an  inspiration  to  us. 

In  1987  our  class  discussion  focused  on 
what  the  College  had  meant  to  us  and  any 
career  changes  we  were  considering.  It  turned 
out  to  be  a  real  tribute  to  the  College 
curriculum,  especially  the  liberal  arts  classes 
which  had  turned  out  to  be  much  more 
valuable  than  they  might  have  seemed  in  the 
1950s.  The  physical  education  majors  were 
surprised  that  many  of  us  had  become  regular 
swimmers,  golfers,  and  tennis  players.  In  1992, 


since  we  are  57  years  old,  our  assignment  was 
to  look  toward  retirement  vocations  and 
avocations.  While  some  have  decided  to  give 
up  volunteerism  and  do  projects  they  had 
postponed,  others  were  looking  forward  to 
retirement  and  volunteer  opportunities,  either 
within  their  fields  or  in  other  areas.  Some 
were  even  looking  forward  to  foreign 
missionary  work.  Several  had  just  taken  jobs 
which  were  in  their  college  majors,  but  more 
often  were  new  fields.  Most  expressed  much 
job  satisfaction. 

Here  is  a  strong  recommendation  for 
other  reunion  classes:  Bring  annuals  and 
college  days  pictures.  At  mealtimes  we  were  a 
noisy  group  as  we  reacted  to  those  black  and 
white  pictures  from  the  1950s  and  the  color 
snapshots  from  previous  reunions.  Glenda 
Brady  brought  her  freshman  year  scrapbook 
and  that,  along  with  a  yearbook,  were  subjects 
of  nostalgia  and  updates  on  classmates.  Then 
we  sang  songs,  such  as  "What  Is  Woman's 
College  to  Me?"  from  the  1955  Junior  Show, 
which  we  modestly  remember  as  the  best  of 
the  century.  One  show  issue  was  wearing 
bermuda  shorts  on  campus  without  a  raincoat. 
Thirty-six  years  later  it  seems  a  very  mild  and 
reserved  protest  against  rules  and  regulations, 
but  then  it  seemed  very  serious.  Then  we 
sang,  with  varying  degrees  of  success,  our 
Class  Song  which  lauded  our  dedication, 
brilliance,  understanding,  and  superiority.

REUNION  REPORT 


by  Bronna  Willis 


By  Saturday,  May  16,  nine  stalwart 
members  of  the  Class  of  '62  gathered  to 
celebrate  our  30th  reunion.  After  quickly 
assessing  the  situation,  we  found  ourselves  to 
be  incredibly  young,  unbelievably  attractive, 
and  wonderfully  wise.  (It  boggles  the 
imagination  to  tliink  how  anyone  —  short  of 
having  to  participate  in  her  own  fimeral  — 
could  have  passed  up  the  opportunity  to  be 
part  of  this  remarkable  group.) 

If  reunions  are  for  remembrance  and 
renewal,  ours  succeeded.  We  explored  an 
expanded  campus,  visited  familiar  haunts, 
discussed  the  architectural  merits  (or  lack 
thereof)  of  the  new  dining  hall,  mourned  the 
loss  of  Mendenhall's  beautiful  wood  hall 
panels  to  carved  graffiti,  and  clucked  over  the 
demise  of  proper  upbringing  such  as  that 
which  we  now  look  back  and  claim  to  have 
enjoyed.  (Current  students  must  realize  this  is 
one  of  our  rites  of  passage.)  Together  or  alone 
some  of  us  made  pilgrimages  to  the  places  that 
symbolize  those  years.  To  recall  so  much  that 


was  silly  and  sad,  outrageous  and  sweet,  is  to 
revisit  the  child  within  that  we  brought  to  the 
Woman's  College  so  many  years  ago  —  and 
we  saluted  her. 

And  we  talked.  We  spoke  of  marriage, 
divorce,  and  blessed  singleness.  We  spoke  of 
motherhood  and  widowhood.  We  spoke  of 
children  who  had  left  home  and  those  who 
had  left  and  come  back.  We  spoke  of  careers 
—  first,  second,  third,  and  next.  We  laughed 
about  our  resistance  to  change,  but  talk  of 
changes  past  and  changes  yet  to  come  sparked 
excitement.  These  women  have  the  self- 
assurance  of  people  who  know  what  they  are 
about.  I'm  so  glad  I  met  them  again. 

By  the  way.  Absentees,  the  Alumni 
Association  really  appreciates  the  $1,000  gift 
that  each  of  you  pledged  during  reunion  for 
the  One-in-a-Million  campaign.  You  DO 
remember  making  that  pledge,  don't  you? 
Anyhow,  a  member  of  the  Alumni  Fund 
Raising  Committee  will  be  contacting  you  soon 
to  collect....
