MEREDITH'S NEWSLADy
Agnes Cooper, the ever busy
wife of Dr. Harry E. Cooper, is
Meredith’s newslady. Her offi
cial title, director of publicity, is
one she has held since 1940
when she became a member of
the college administrative staff.
Seven has always been her lucky
number, and since this is her
seventh year at Meredith, Mrs.
Cooper expects big things. Be
ing director of the college news
bureau and a columnist for the

American way of living, she took
part in many of the college ac
tivities and made many talks to
the students; At one meeting of
the Home Ec Club, she gave a
demonstration of a Japanese cer
emonial tea. In addition to this,
Kazue left to the department a
book on Japanese flower ar
rangements. Her architect uncle
sent a book on Japanese archi
tecture, and her mother pre
pared for us different types of tea
and rice grown in Japan.
On her graduation from Mere
dith, she went to Kabe College
in Japan as a member of the fac
ulty. It has been only recently
that Miss Brewer received her
first news from Kazue since the
war. She is now living in Yoko
hama, where she is teaching
home economics in Kanto Gok-
win College under the Northern
Baptist Board. Her husband also
teaches architecture in the same
college. Married during the war,
she has a little boy about two or
three years old.
Because of a shortage of many
foodstuffs in Japan and because
Kazue’s home was bombed dur
ing the war, the Home Ec Club
is planning to send her a box of
foods, mostly dehydrated, as a
small token of their appreciation
for her inspiration and loyalty
to Meredith.
Welcome Meredith!

News and Observer, as well as
manager of a family, keeps Mrs.
Cooper’s activities at a running
pace.
Mrs. Cooper likes her job at
Meredith because she has always
wanted to be a school teacher,
and this is the nearest she could
get to being one. As director of
publicity, it is her wish that
neither members of the faculty
nor the student body will let any
thing happen to any one on the
campus without telling her about
it. This, she says, satisfies her
woman’s innate curiosity and
gives her plenty of material for
her work. Mrs. Cooper wants to
extend a special vote of thanks
to all the student assistants who
have helped her for the past
seven years, to the newspapers
throughout the State, and also
to her husband. Dr. Cooper, and
his famous camera for the many
pictures that one sees of Mere
dith.
The latest publication to ap
pear on the campus is The Little
Kernel, which is Mrs. Cooper’s
own paper. She admits, how
ever, that the credit for the idea
goes to Dr. Campbell and Dean
Burts. Even though it is the
youngest of the four college pub
lications, Mrs. Cooper hopes it
will have a long and happy life.
When asked if her two chil
dren had inherited her nose for
news, Mrs. Cooper shook her
head sadly. Sixteen-year-old
Robert’s interests run to nature
and finance. He cannot eat his
breakfast without a pre-digest of
the stocks and bonds column in
the morning paper. Eleven-year-
old Alice, a student at Fred A.
Olds Grammar School, is already
well known at Meredith, having
served as Phi Mascot since her
second birthday in 1937.
With a family to care for and
two jobs, Mrs. Cooper is one of
the busiest women on the Mere
dith campus. D. L.
