Grandmother In School
Audin For Art Course
BACK AS ELON STL'DENT AFTER FIFTY YEARS
Mother-daughtcr and mothii-1
son combinationi have occu red
more than once in rcccnt year.- in
the membership of the Klon Ctl-
Irge student body, but somctliintj
entirely new and perhaps un'qufj
In campuN history is taking place I
this »pring in the presence oni
the Klon campus of a grandmother
pnd her grand-dauKhtei as stud
ents at the same time.
The unusual combination come
Into being wit]j the return to'
Elon ak a student of Mrs. J. K.
Rawls. Sr.. of Suffolk, Va, who
disregarded the fact that she isi
70 yeaii of age and that she fin-'
Ished a four-year collcge career
over half a century ago when he
wanted to return to Klon for the j
study of art.
Mrs. Kawls. who looks nnd : cts'
like a person many years her
Junior, left Klon in 1902 after (our|
years of study, but she decided
recently to become an Klon stud
ent again In order to accomplish
a veiy definite purpose.
That purpose is to prepare for
teveral oil painting projects,
which she expects to keep her
busy for a long time. Specifically,
she wants to paint portraits of her
41 mother and her great-grand-
i' ' mother. She also plans to paint
a portrait of each of her children,
and she felt that Miis Lila New
man. head of the Klon College Art
Depaitment, was the person to
held her prepare for the art pro-
Jtcts.
This will not be Mrs. Hawls’
I; 5t )i aiiiing in art, for she
majored in that field while a
student at Klon before from 1898
until 1902. Then came her mar
riage to Dr. J. K Rawls, Sr., a
surgeon in Suffolk, which was
followed by a busy home life and
the rearing of eight children, nil
of which left little time for art.
Dr. Rawls, an eminently suc
cessful surgeon, died In 1938, leav
ing Mrs. KawU with several child
ren yet to find a place in life.
All have done that now. nnd Mrs.
nawl:i is prnsping the opportunity
to accomplish a new purpose. It
Just happened that her return to
Klon came at a time when a grand
daughter, Joann Newman, of Bur
lington. was a student, and that
gave rise to a new and unique
student combination.
The Rawls family has been
identified with Klon for many
ycnr!:. Dr. Rawls became a student
at the college when It opened, and
his wife came to the campus a few
years later. Seven of the eight
children ate graduates of Klon
and now the third generation Is
represented here by the grand
daughter.
Dr. Kawls also had a brother tc
