Miss Ward Recalls
“Good” Old Days
By JOE HARDKCiRKJ':

don’t ask me about my wrinht.”
was the answcT to my first quvn

-Wiss Sarah Bain Ward, dean of
wom<*n at ACC. T.iis frundly and
cheerful answer is tvpical of tho
"^oman who is tn chaiKc of all
‘girls living on campus at our in
stitution.
Miss Ward was born in Kiaston

Icgc in the fall of 1934. V^'hile at
"ACC she was. amon« other things.
on sident of the Christian associa*
^(in on campufi. president c4 the
Co^jK’rative Association, and a
charter member of the Golden
Honor Society Also she was
Om- of the four student super\*isors
selected each year to be in charge
lof all student work on campus.
|ln those days, says Miss Ward.
rtudcnts did all of the work on
[campus. There were no maids or
I Janitors duriiig those depression
Lyears, and it up to the stu>
|dt nts to att(H)d to the various Jobs.
Some of Miss Ward’s classmates
I at ACC were Milton L. Adams,
present business manager. Millard
3urt. Mrs. Elizabeth Highey. Rus-
ell Roebuck. Cyrus Lee and Nor-
Iman Etheridge, better known as
r*Tweetie”. She graduated cum
llaude in 1938, with a double major
I in science and mathematics.
She taught at Selma from 1938
Itintil 1944. when she became dean
lof women at ACC. In 19S2 Miss
■ Ward received her M.A. degree
yrom Columbia University, major-
Dg in guidance and personnel ad-
Tinistration.
Things have really changed since
Ithe first day Miss Ward came back
^to the campus in 1944. If the girls
hink they have it rough now. they
hould see some of the rules that
Iwere in force then. Back in thc«e
ays. every girl had to go to church
Ion Sunday or else forfeit all priv-
I lieges for the rest of the day. Dur-
ng Sunday afternoon there was a
l“quiet period." From 1:00 to 3:30
Ithi; girls could receive no visitors.
■Tliey then had a social hour frc«n
14:00 until after supper. There was
I absolutely no dancing between the
jmen and the women. ’The girls,
Ibf^wever. solved this problem by
Idancing among themselves. How
■the boys solved it is not known
fat the present time.
There was absolutely no night
Iridlng for anyone unless there was
[a faculty member chaperoning. Ob-
ri()usly that put a ctimp in OMt-
iside dating on rainy nights. Girls
fut;re also not alloM^’d to go to the
|jnovies on Sunday night.
Back in those wild and woolly
Idays however, there were quite a
Hew exciting things happening, says
|lhc dean. She recalled that Kinsey
[all. where the girls lived, could
Isot be locked up at night. Many
la time, armed with a stick and
[a flashlight, she would creep down
■ stairs investigating the sounds
of footsteps walking rhough the
alls.
Miss Ward is quite happy in her
oli as dean of women. She be
lieves that the girls of ACC have
