Student Spotlight
TAMMY SUMMERS
by Laura Moore
Senior Tammy Summer’s
interest in communicating
with the deaf also sparked
interest at Meredith. Tammy
and Dr. Rebecca Murray of
the Education Department
were initiators of the new sign
language club and class.
“This is so important to
those in education because of
the mainstreaming of han
dicapped into the public
schools,” said Tammy. Her
interest in communicating
with the deaf began when she
was a counselor at a camp
where there were a few de^
children. “It was killing me,”
said Tammy, “I felt such a
great need to communicate
with them and couldn’t/’ This
past summer she took a sign
language class in her
hometown, Fayetteville, and
hoped to also flare interest at
Merdith. Tammy observed,
“There is a real need for those
who can sign, and one must
practice and apply what is
learned in order to retain it.”
According to Tammy, the sign
language class is such a
success and learning ex
perience that it may be dif
fered next semester and could
possibly open new doors in
teaching Meredith students to
educate the handicapped.
The sign language club’s
first project is working at a
reception for the premier of
the play Woyceck. The play is
at the State Theatre of Gester
and consists of deaf and
hearing actors. Tammy spoke
to Trivia Hanes, counsel for
hearing impaired, who
suggested the reception. The
next project for the club is
publicizing the National
Theatre for the Deaf, which is
coming to Meredith March 26.
Other than her work with
the deaf and sign language,
Tammy is playing tennis for
