^ktrl A STUDENT PUBLICATION OF FLORA MACDONALD COLLEGE Volume No. 7 Flora Macdonald College, May, 1959 No. 9 Womble Accepts New Position Flora Macdonald is sad, es- peciaiMy the home economics ma jors, over losing a dear friend and professor to the Home Dem onstration branch of the Agri cultural Extension! Department. Miss Charl&tte WomMe has re signed her position as Head of the Home Economics Depart ment to accept a position as Housing Specialist. Her office will be located in Ricks Hall, State College in Raleigh. Unless one could have seen the department upon her arriv al' in the fall of 1953, Miss Wom- ble’s contributions can not be fully appreciated. Holding the position of “Head,” she began to pull out iher unJimited ideas for improvement, such as com pletely redecorating the depart ment including turning an old machine room into a living room, supervising the flooring, painting, and the purchase of new equipment for the foods lab., placing the appliances on a yearly replacement plan, and purchasing new sewing machines in the department. During her stay, the emrollmeiiit ot liome economics majors has doubled. Presently, there are around 30 home ec. majors. In her spare time, Miss Womble can usually be found with a hammer in her hand or periiaps a saw, for she has a love andl a “knack” for re-doing old furniture. Or perhaps she might be seem carrying into tlie Home Management House, an old stick or root which she de clares ihas beauty and great posi- sibdlaties. Have you ever seen a finished product? Such gorgeous creations. The Home Management House holds the proof of her time, ent- ergies, and originalities. The house was donated by Dr. Wood son only three years ago. Ren'- ovated furniture, patching, re pairing, painting, and wise buy ing resulted in a lovely home. Almost every day Miss Womlble is adding a new" touch of beauty. During her six years here, she has acted as advisor to the Home Economics Club and this year as Freshmen Class Advisor. She has served as a member of the Executive Committee, Co operative Committee, Social Oomimittee andi Student Teach ing Committee. Last year sihe received the high honor of being elected Treasurer of the North Carolina Home Economics As sociation. She has also served on a number of State Committees of the NCHEA. After receiving her B.A. at East Carolina, Miss Womble taught six years in Cary andl one year in Harnett County as a V ocational Home Economics Teacher. Th«i she went to Wom an’s College University of North Citrolina where she was granted a graduate sssiisftaiiitship in Tex tiles and dotlung Researcli.

Since then she has attended Penn State Summer School twice and Flori da State -last summer, where siie did advanced study in cloth ing, housing, family financing, and household textiles. The words of Miss Womble are these: “I have enjoyed it; I love it and the people, for I have met and workedi with many wonderful peop'le; yet I am look ing forward to my new work.” Yes, everyone is sorry to have her go, but just as strongly do they wish for her tihie greatest advancement and success.

Ai'abama, and although he now lives in Washington, he has lost none of his Southern accent. Mr. Wesson gave a very inter esting and informative talk on computors, both those made by IBM and by other companies. He explained with many dia grams how the computors are made. He then showed how they were used with an elementary example. He put the example into the digital language of the computor. With this language he ran the example through the computor ihe had drawn' on the blackboard of the Bible class room and showed how tihe an swer which h© got from the com- (Continued on Page 4) cation class did May 9, at their retreat about a half mile from FMC.

Hazel McLean, a commit tee from thisi year’s Senior diass was appointed to evaluate the regular Capping Service for this year. Serving on the committee were Elizabeth Anne Clark, Nancy Jo Thompson, Sylvia Wil liams and Phyllis Barnette. After much thought and dis cussion the members of the committee presented the recom mended! dhanges to the Senior Class. Their recommendation consisted of changing tihe time from May 30, at 4:30 p.m. to May 27, at 6:15 p.m. on front campus. The reason for this change was mainly to give all Juniors! a chance to go home immediately alter their exams There was also the feeling that Capping could be much more ef fective if seen by all students. The changes were voted on and passed by the Senior Class and presentedi to the Junior Class for discussion and ques tions. We sincerely hope that our Capping Service wB be a big success and very meaningful to all who attend. games and playing them. The kindergarten game. Jack and Jilll, was one of our favorites.
