Students Return
With "MRS. Degree
//
By JUANITA SWINDLER
Here, beneath the envious and
covetous eye of nearly 600 girls,
lies the almost full report on those
“chosen few” who have earned
their MRS. degrees after much
diligent and concentrated effort.
The coveted awards were presented
and the final ceremonies were con
ducted at various places in North
Carolina during the past summer.
Bobbie Ann Yarborough was
among these happy maidens. Bob
bie Ann -and J. W. Brown were
married September 1 at East Bap
tist Church in Gastonia. After the
wedding Mr. and Mrs. Brown left
for a wedding trip down the eastern
coast of Florida and returned by
the western coast. Bobbie Ann is a
senior at Meredith, and J. W. is a
senior in mechanical engineering at
N. C. State. They are living now at
204 Faircloth Street in Raleigh.
About married life Bobbie Ann
says, “My bride’s course is helping
a lot with cooking — about which
1 knew nothing.” She says, “No
fusses yet.”
“I dood it and I’m glad.” Such
are the words of Marlene Reep
Caulberg as she speaks of her
August 18 marriage to Bobby
Caulberg. Her eyes sparkle as she,
speaks of the lovely wedding in the
chapel of Edenton Street Methodist
Church and the wedding trip to
that perfect spot in the mountains
of Western North Carolina and
Tennessee. Bobbie is working at
Frockling and Robertson, Inc., a
commercial testing laboratory, but
only temporarily. He and Marlene
are frantically awaiting that final
call from Uncle Sam. Marlene laugh
ingly states, “After a month and a
half, I’ve learned to scranible his
eggs, but I still can’t iron his shirts
the way he likes.” She’s not having
much trouble with house cleaning
yet, since they’re living with her
Missionary to Speak
In Chapel
parents at 9 North Bloodworth St.
in Raleigh.
When Julene Barlow McPhaul
was asked about life with her civU
engineer husband Elbert, she re
plied, “I’m happy as a lark. We’re
having a ball. I’m fer it.” Julene
and Elbert were married July 15 in
the Baptist Home Church of North
Wilkesboro and went down Florida
way for that special trip. Julene will
graduate in June, and she and El
bert will continue to live here in
Raleigh at 12,1 V2 Garner Street.
It didn’t take much persuasion
from Jim to get Faye Williamson
to change her last name to Little.
Faye and Jim made the change in
name official on August 25 in the
First Baptist Church in Clinton,
North Carolina. After the wedding
trip to Fontana Village, the couple
moved to College View Road —
only temporarily, they hope. Cook
ing seems to be the big problem
for most of these newlyweds, but
Faye says, “We haven’t starved
yet.”
Several other Meredith girls have
that special glow that means happi
ness and a husband is theirs. Pat
Swann Boyer, Doris Shropshire
Thornton, Kay Marshall White and
several others are back as day stu
dents this year, but they don’t miss
dorm life. To all of these — Julene,
Bobbie Ann, Marlene, Pat, Faye,
Doris, Kay and all the others —
we other envious Meredithites send
our very, very best wishes for all
the happiness possible. To our fel
low partners in single Ufe we toast
to “life, liberty, and the happiness
we pursue.”

Princeton, N. J., September 14
— The Graduate Record Exami
nations, required of applicants for
admission to a number of graduate
schools, will be administered at
examination centers throughout the

GRE on Saturday, November 17.
In 1957, the dates are January 19,
April 27 and July 6. ETS advises
each applicant to inquire of the
graduate school of his choice which

and on which dates. Applicants for
graduate school fellowships should
ordinarily take the designated ex
aminations in the fall administra
tion.
The GRE tests offered in these
nation-wide programs include a test
of general scholastic ability and ad
vanced level tests of achievement
in sixteen different subject matter
fields. According to ETS, candi

titude Test and/or one of the Ad
vanced Tests.
