A Winner
Pretty Joan Anderson
may well have been bored.
The Winchester, Va.,
junior, sat in the bal
cony of the gym during the
1967 commencement with
her roomie, Elaine Saw
yer of Washington. It was
hot — frightfully so —
and Joan looked around
with feigned innocence
and slipped off her gloves.
She dropped them in the
lap of her white dress.
Joan wondered how she
had been selected usher
at the finals. She wasn’t
a senior.Well, she figured,
it was just one of those
things you have to do
for the old school. Be
sides, it wouldn’t be much
longer of a wait. Dr.Earl
Danieley was intoning the
degree recipient names
late in the alphabet.
And, despite all the e-
longated rituals and the
silly heat, it wasn’t so
bad. Neither was the
school which she’d known
about ever since she was
a Moonelon camper. Not
a very fancy place,per-
haps, but Elon, Joan dis
covered, could do a lot
for you if you just let it.
Dr. Danieley finished
with the degrees.
Then he slipped back
into his pseudo-formal a-
cademic routine, for he
is, actually, archtypalOld
Shoe .
“And now, ” Dr. Dan
ieley said in Haw River-
ized Shakespearean de
livery, “1 should like to
announce the winner of
the first Ella Brunk Smith
scholastic award.”
Joan stared absently at
a big old buzzy-bug who’d
flitted into the gym.
‘‘As you may know,this
presentation is made on
the basis of academic
work and religious inter
est.”
The bug flew away.
“This year’s winner
is . . .” and Dr. Daniel
ey paused so he could en
joy keeping his audience
in suspense all he could.
“Joan Anderson.”
Elaine speared her el
bow into Joan.
“That’s you!” she
shouted.
Joan stood up, only
party aware of applause
that was now building. She
dropped her white gloves.
It was one of the long
est walks Joan Anderson
ever made, from up there
in the balcony to Dr. Dan-
ieJey’s podium at the back
of the gym floor.
“1 know you weren’t a-
ware you’d get this a-
ward,” said Dr. Daniel
ey, now sounding wholly
the plainfolkshe reallyis.
‘'You did come a long
way.”
‘ Why, yes,” said Joan,
whose composure has
been better at other oc-
William B. Terrell, who
has served as executive
secretary of the Elon Col
lege Alumii Association
for the past eleven years,
will retire from his post
with the college after this
college year, although he
will continue his duties
until June 30.
He became alumni sec
retary in 1957, coming
back to his Alma Mater
after many years of suc
cessful public school work
in North Carolina, and
since taking the post he
has organized several
new alumni chapters and
reactivated other groups,
all the while stimulating
increased interest of E-
lon alumni in the Elon a-
rea and elsewhere in cam
pus affairs. He has add
ed approximately 2,000
new names to the col
lege’s alumni roll while
bringing the alumni lists
up to date.
Mr. Terrell, who en
tered Elon College after
two years service in
World War I, graduated
from Elon with the Class
of 1925 and went immed
iately into public school
work. He first served as
principal of Tryon High
School in Gaston County
from 1925 until 1928 and
then was principal of Elon
College High School for
fifteen years.
He became principal of
Wadesboro High School
in 1943 and after two
years became superin
tendent of Wadesboro City
Schools, going from there
to Warren County Schools
as superintendent from
1948 until 1957 when he
retired and returned to
Elon to accept the alum
ni post.
Always active in com
munity affairs, Mr. Ter
rell has held offices in
the American Legion, the
Masons, the Rotary Club
and the Elon College Com
munity Church. He is a
member of American
School Administrators,
the North Carolina Edu
cation Association and the
Shrine Club. He has also
been a leader in the Boy
Scouts and was awarded
the Silver Beaver Award
by the Oconeechee Coun
cil in Raleigh.
During his years as
Elon’s alumni secretary,
he has twice been honored
for his work. In May of
1966 he received the col
lege’s Alumni Achieve
ment Award and in 1967
the Phi Psi Cli, college
yearbook, was dedicated
to him,
“The most—talked about
subjects at the average re
union are those who didn’t
come."
casions. “Thank you.”
That seemed the right
thing to say, but the well
mannered brunette was
still having trouble real
izing just what was going
on.
And the pity of it was,
the news wire services
missed picking up the
story of Joan Anderson’s
scholastic triumph, as
important, in its own way,
as Elon’s finest football
moments. Joan Ander
son’s victory was, really,
what school is all about.
