Reunion Class Notes
1930
Mabel Bagby (Mrs. H. W. Sphar), New
York City. “My Husband and I have
been making our home in New York City
for five years, having moved here from
Winchester, Kentucky. We have two
young sons: Holly W., Jr., age three and
one half years, and William Bagby, who
was born last May.”
Mabel King Beeker, Fort Smith, Arkan
sas. “I came to the Immanuel Baptist
Church, Fort Smith, Arkansas, as educa
tional director in February 1943, after
six years in the First Baptist Church,
Newport, Kentucky. My work has in
cluded a great variety of activities, rang
ing from buying the food for the large
Workers’ Council suppers we have each
month to being Sunday School superin
tendent and Training Union director.
Although our church is not the largest
in the state, we have for several years
had the largest attendance at the assemb
lies so that both of our dormitories have
been crowded with young people and a
scattering of adults. In my “spare” time
I paint the picket fence and the furniture
in the home Mother and I acquired two
years ago. 1 already have one whole
coat on the fence. As an outside activity,
I act as associational Training Union di
rector. In spite of all this, I manage to
find time to read The Twig and thus
keep up with what's going on among
Meredith folks.”
Erin Bloodworth (Mrs. Frank Fulghum),
Charlotte, N. C. “FIFTEEN YEARS! I
don't believe it. However in another
fifteen I probably won't believe my son
will be finished college and my daughter
in Meredith! Seems now, that there’s
just one generation after another. Greet
ings to all the old grads, and I hope to
see you at the Reunion.”
Mamie Lee Bumgardner (Mrs. Paul M.
Baisch), Springfield, Georgia. “I am liv
ing in a small county seat town. We are
very fond of Springfield and quite inter
ested in historical Effingham County,
which was settled by the Salzbergers
originally. Everyone who is anyone at
all, is homehow connected with them!
Ha! I am teaching social science in the
Newington High School, while my two
small daughters do most of the house
keeping. My husband likes to cook
breakfast but naturally balks on dishes.”
Margaret Craig (Mrs. Zeno Martin), Ra
leigh. "I’ve been back in Raleigh for
over two years and I’m connected with
Meredith in several different ways. Right
now. Alumnae Loyalty Fund Chairman
is the one I’m particularly interested in.
(So don’t forget your dues!) My family
includes Zeno and ”Z,” who is six years
old. I do hope our class will try to come
to commencement for our Reunion for
after fifteen years, it ought to be a lot
of fun. I’ve seen several of our class
this fall including Mabel Bagby, Annie
Gray Boney, and Annie Sarah Barkwell.
They haven’t changed a bit, or else they
were awfully 'fixed up’!!”
Cora Fender (Mrs. George Britt), Wash
ington, D. C., "After ten years as a gov
ernment girl in Washington, San Fran
cisco, and Albuquerque, I finally became
a housewife and mother. Now we’re back
in Washington. My daughter is lots of
fun. We named her Sarah Louise, but
call her “Chickie.” She is almost two and
one half now. If transportation conditions
improve. I’d love to come to the Reunion
this year.”
Pauline Fitzgerald (Mrs. Graham
Reams), Asheville. ”I am living in Ashe
ville and teaching vocal music in the Sen
ior High School here; also directing the
Young People’s Choir in the First Baptist
Church. My daughter, Elaine, has just
entered Junior High School. We are hop
ing she will be entering Meredith in a few
more years.”
Mildred Fowler (Mrs. C. O. Matheny),
Rolesville. "I live in Rolesvllle and am
a housekeeper. I have one child, a girl
seven years old. I taught school for five
years.”
Marjorie Ferebee (Mrs. W. F. Mldgette),
Gregory. "I'm still living in the only home
I've ever known. My husband and I are
keeping house and lookinc after the farm
for my mother and father. We have a lit
tle year and a half old daughter. Martha,
who is the bright star of our universe.
We hope she will be a Meredith Grand
daughter some day.”
Mary M. Harris, Valdese. “I’m one of
the “teachers galore” that Miss Grimmer
spoke of when I was at Meredith. I’m
teaching sixth grade at my home in Val
dese and stay busy with my school and
church work. I hope to see many of you
next commencement.”
Emma Hartsell (Mrs. R. K. Benfield),
Hickory. “Life as a pastor’s wife, the
mother of two children, and a worker in
civic affairs, is most interesting and chal
lenging. I’m looking forward to seeing
many of you at our reunion. It is good
to find Meredith girls doing fine work
wherever they are.”
Pauline Kitchin (Mrs. Burwell Allen),
Durham. “We’ve been living in Durham
now for almost two years. All my thoughts
and plans are going into my new home
which we expect to build the first of the
year. My son who is in the fifth grade
and my “adopted” daughter, Ann Josey,
who is taking 12th grade post graduate
work here in preparation for Meredith
next year, help to make my days busy
ones.”
Marguerite Mason (Mrs. R. Bruce Wil
kins), Durham. “I am wife of a doctor,
mother of two children (Mason, eight, and
Peggy, five), housekeeper, chief cook, and
bottle-washer. In my spare time I am
President of Meredith College Alumnae
Association, President of Durham-Orange
County Medical Auxiliary, Divisional
Young People’s Leader, and member of
the church choir,”
I.eila Nolen (Mrs. Conway Elliott),
Virgillna. Va. “I am living on a farm, and
I stay quite busy with all the different
jobs that have to be done. I have two
boys; Kennerly is five and Larry is two.
They are quite active, and they keep me
on the job. They are a lot of pleasure,
too. I hope that many of my class
will be back for commencement.”
Della Roberson (Mrs. Bond Gillam),
Windsor. “I have one child, a girl, two
and a half years old. Her name is LaVerna
Roberson Gillam.”
Blanche Sharpe (Mrs. S. J. Rogers),
Mebarie. "I used to think that fifteen years
was a terribly long time; however, I’ve
changed my mind. I taught school for
the first four years, 1930-1934, For the
past eleven years I have been keeping
house for my husband and two boys.
L. J., Jr„ seven, who is in the second
grade, and Larry, eighteen months, who is
“into everything.” I also take an active
part in church, W. M. S., and P-T. A.
work.”
Charlotte Tedder (Mrs. Fred Swift),
Shreveport, Louisiana. “I divide my time
between several responsibilities—all of
which I love—my husband, my apartment,
my church activities, and a full time posi
tion as Special Worker with the Louisiana
State Training Union Department, My
husband is stationed at Barksdale Field,
and we live in Shreveport. I hope to be
present for our reunion in June.”
Giadys Blaylock (Mrs. H, L. Page), 1930,
Morrisville. “I am still living at the same
place and have my same job as home
maker for my husband and six sons.
There’s never any “unemployment.” For
recreation I do many different things in
the way of arts and crafts. My newest
accomplishment is knitting. I also grow
flowers and read right much. I take an
active part in W.M.U. and other church
activities. I am also a member of P-T. A.
and take an active part in the Woman’s
Club, of which I am now president. Here’s
hoping that I can be at Commencement
for our Reunion.”
1931
Lois Arnette (Mrs. E. L. Bliss, Jr.), New
York City. “After being marooned here
in New York for the duration, 1 certainly
want to get back to Meredith for our
fifteenth reunion. I’m kept busy looking
after two future Meredith alumnae and
a husband who is a member of the news
staff of the Columbia Broadcasting Sys
tem.”
Sarah Briggs, Chambersburg, Pennsyl
vania. "I shall certainly be thinking of
you aU at CoRunencement. 1 am afraid I

the passing of her father, George H.
Jordan, at his home in Cary, on
November 6.

in the passing of her mother, Mrs.
J. Earl Williams, in Watts Hospital,
Durham, on November 7, following
injuries sustained in an automo
bile wreck on November 3.
Jeannette Current, ’18, of Cleve
land, Ruth Current, ex-’24, of Ra

Columbia, S. C.
Eva Rogers Bennett (Mrs. S. R.,
ex-’09), of Apex, in the passing of
her father, S. S. Rogers, on Novem
ber 15.
Margaret Wilkins Hoey (Mrs.
John, ex-’. ..), of Faison, in the pass
ing of her brother, Alger B. Wil
kins, at a local hospital in Fayette
ville, on November 14, and her hus
band, John Hoey, on November 16.
out of our two-year-old son! I hope to
get to see many of my old Meredith
classmates again.”
Juanita Sorrell, Durham. ‘‘I am teaching
in the E. K. Powe School of the Durham
City System.”
Ann Thacker (Mrs. Ronald Stillman),
New York City. “If you could see me now!
I’m sitting in the midst of suitcases,
boxes, and piles of unpacked “stuff.” I
should be used to moving. This is my
-enth apartment in two years—but I’m
not. It’s terrible every time. This time
is different though! We’re going to be
civilians again! Ronald is now a retired
Navy lieutenant. We’re planning a few
months of travel and vacationing; then
Ron will go to law school for a semester
to get “in the groove” again before start-
ng his practice. We’ll be on Miami Beach
after January 1. Come on down, the
weather’s fine!”
Ava Woody, Stovall. “I am still at
Granville Hospital, Oxford, N. C., as office
manager.”
shall be there only in thought as the exer
cises coincide with those at Penn Hall
Junior College in Chambersburg, Pa.,
where I am beginning my second year as
Academic Dean. The work in this position
is interesting and stimulating and often
brings my Meredith days back to me
vividly. My best wishes to you all.”
Delphia Harris (Mrs. Stephen L. Rober
son), Roanoke Rapids. “I hardly think
that any member of good “old” (?) ’31
leads a more active life than I. If you
could observe for a moment Susan, age
three, and Watts, who is seven months
old, you would grasp the fact that the
Steve Robersons never have a dull
moment. But it's all much more colorful
than teaching history!”
Kathleen Helms (Mrs. W. C. Steen),
Anderson, South Carolina. “Since my
graduation from Meredith I have traveled
abroad, taught school, and for the past
ten years have been busy caring for my
husband, a pharmacist, and trying to keep
ahead mentally and up physically with
our two mighty cute daughters—Pattie,
five, and Kathleen, two. The domestic
side of life holds first place with me, but
I do find time for my music club, of which
I am past president, and my church work.
There are very few Meredith girls in this
section of The Twig with its Alumnae
news means a great deal to me.”
Ellen Royall Jones, Cameron. “I am a
teacher of the first grade in the Cameron
School of Cameron, N. C.
Annie Hollingsworth Jones, Cameron.
“I am a teacher of the first grade in the
Cameron School of Cameron, N. C.”
Mildred Kichline, Burlington. “I am a
teacher of Bible in Burlington High
School. I have five classes a day with a
hundred sixty students enrolled. I am
employed for twelve months and work
wherever needed in the summer months.
Last summer I taught English in summer
school. I am called on to help in the
various churches of Burlington and sur
rounding territory. I love my work.”
Mamie Lee Kimball (Mrs. L. N. Cham
berlin), Enfield. Mamie Lee’s sister, Elsie
Kimball, writes: “As my sister, Mamie Lee
Chamberlain, is not at home now, I feel
that I should give you the requested in
formation. She left October 1 by plane for
Panama and is now living there with her
husband. Major L. N. Chamberlain. They
have a house on the beach and are very
happy. She likes Panama a lot.”
Eleanor Lamm, Lucama. “Here I am
right in Lucama where I started from.
I am working in the Postoffice, living
with mother, and trying to keep up
with all that’s going on. I am looking
forward to our reunion at commence
ment.”
Virginia Lang (Mrs. T. W. Simpson),
Arlington, Virginia. “I am kept quite
busy keeping house for my husband, a
Major stationed at the Pentagon, and my
two little girls. Carolyn is just four
years old, and Nancy is not quite two.
When I have time, I work in the garden,
sew the little girls’ dresses, and (very in
frequently) visit with friends passing
through from North Carolina.”
Mary Me Aden (Mrs. L. B. Satterfield),
Milton. “Surely, if no news is good news,
my reply will certainly be good news.
Where am I and what I am doing? I am
at home in Milton, N. C., keeping house
for a husband and two sons. The days
are not long enough. My time is com
pletely filled with household duties, but
there’s never a dull moment.”
Kitty Makepeace (Mrs. Fred Byerly)

for Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.
We have two children—Anne, ten, and
Betsy, five. My activities include my
work as president of the Dunn P-T. A.,
vice president of the Woman’s Society of
Christian Service, hostess at the Dunn
Woman’s Club, and volunteer Red Cross
clerical worker.”
Rachel Price (Mrs. Thomas E. Crowe),
Ellenboro. “Just another old school
teacher. Yes. that has been my job since I
left Meredith. All of these years except
two have been in the third grade of the
Ellenboro School at Ellenboro, N. C. For
the past seven years I have been keep
ing house in addition to my teaching. For
the past year my husband and I have
moved to the farm which we manage in
our 'spare time’.”
Anne Simms (Mrs. A. L. Haskins, Jr.),
Raleigh. “Al, Albert, and I have recently
moved from Newport News, Virginia, back
to Raleigh, N. C., where my husband has
opened his office for the practice of archi
tecture. We fell in love with our Vir
ginia friends, but it is good to be back in
N. C., and so near Meredith. We are go
ing to try our best to make a Tar Heel

ALUMNAE COUNCIL AT

(Continued from preceding page)
chairman, reported that her group
would be on hand for commence
ment activities. Her committee was
commended for the tea which they
gave for visiting alumnae and fac
ulty and staff members during the
Chapter Presidents Meeting in Oc
tober.
One regional vice president, An
nie Sarah Barkwell Abbott from
Elizabeth City, reported eight ac
tive chapters in her area and an
nounced the organization of one
new group, the Littleton Chapter.
Reports from chapter representa
tives revealed that most of these
groups had had at least one enthu
siastic meeting this fall. The Cra
ven County Chapter boasts already
thirty per cent active membership,
and the Kinston Chapter is at work
on the Expansion Program Cam
paign.
Mr. R. H. Satterfield, director of
public relations for the College,
spoke to the group on “The Light
of Tomorrow.” He expressed appre
ciation to the alumnae and the stu
dent body for the enlarged enroll-
rnent, and stressed the desire for
girls of strong Christian character
and high scholastic ability. He an
nounced that the Expansion Cam
paign had secured $400,000 in cash
and pledges and expressed the hope
that in the closing months of the
drive the goal would be exceeded.
He paid high tribute to the work of
Mr. Hadcock, director of the cam
paign. As a closing suggestion Mr.
Satterfield expressed the need for
a permanent organization to create
and maintain good will toward
Meredith and to solicit funds for the
College.
“Campus Lights” featured repre
sentatives of four organizations on
the campus. Nancy Creech of Beth-
esda, Maryland, spoke for the
Granddaughters Club; Jean Grif
fith of Lexington, for the Athletic
Association; Elizabeth Shelton of
Washington, N. C., for the Baptist
Student Union; and Flora Ann Lee
of Raleigh, for the Student Govern
ment Association. Jane Watkins,
senior from Durham, sang “Entreat
Me Not to Leave Thee,” accompa
nied by Martha Hamrick, junior
from Raleigh.
President Wilkins recognized the
following special guests, all officials
of the College: Dean Anna May
Baker, Dean Joseph E. Burk, and
President Carlyle Campbell. Each
spoke briefly to the group, after
which time the meeting was ad
journed and delegates were the
