AT DECEMBER 20,1980 THE CAROLINA TIMES -5 EdocGtioii By William R. Cash Boston (Mass.) Ciobt Staff Mrs.J Alice D. Luster of Dorchester always dreamed of going to col lege when she was young. She graduated . from high school in Mississippi and then her dream faded. It had to be put aside, Alice recalls, "because there were no scholarships and no money to send me to college. I cried. I loved school." Alice had to go to work instead of college. During high school she captained the basketball team, played softball, ten nis, was a gymnast and was considered ihe top girl athlete, she said. Her athletic activities are now restricted to supervised workouts at a health club, because of a recent illness. mmi BeciBiiiciig A 'Reality exemplify an ageless at titude toward education and learning." Alice, on the suggestion of 'her instructor, Prof. Iris Concepcion, submit ted an essay on education after fifty. Her theme was "Universities Are Not Just For The Young." It was a rewarding ex peerience, she says. In presenting the merit scholarships, Chancellor Corrigan told recipients, "We are particularly pro ud to have you as part of our UMass-Boston fami ly.'.' Alice said graduation is 1983, "but I hope to get through much quicker. It's a beautiful program for adults who are work ing." She came to Boston in 1962 from Durham, N.C., ww . . . i i ij : But now, years later, wnere sne sota iiuurdiikc Alice's dream is being ' and managed her brother Sam Diiiam s store, tne first black supermarket in Durham. She was also ac tive in the civil rights movement there. Alice's first job here was as new accounts teller for a Boston bank. Later she joined the staff of the massachusetts Commis sion Against Discrimina tion (MCAD). She has been with MCAD twelve years and is now uhit supervisor of in vestigations. In. 1969, Alice revived fulfilled. She is studying manage ment of helping services in the College of Public and Community Service at the University of Massachusetts-Boston. Last nKvpth, she receiv ed notification from University Chancellor Robert A. Corrigan, that she was the recipient of a $1000 Colonial Penn Elders Scholarship. It is given "to highly motivated students, fifty years or olaeivwho best f MRS. LUSTER her dream of college and enrolled at Boston Univer sity. But she was forced to put aside that dream once again because of com muting difficulties from the field office of MCAD in Worcester to BU several nights each week. On her return to the Boston office of MCAD, Alice enrolled at UMass- Boston which she attends two nights a week and is kept busy by homework the remaining nights. "When I can find time, I like to bowl or play cards," she says. After graduation from UMass-Boston, she hopes to continue with MCAD. In any event she believes her degree will help her to better supplement her in come after retirement. "I have always been ac tive and would be even in retirement. One of my main interests is volunteer and community work. There is always a need for volunteers in agencies," she said. Alice is active in her church, the Twelfth Bap tist, as a clerk and for twelve years served on the board of Marksdale Garden Housing and many other community committees and organiza tions. "I had to give up some of the committee work to go to college," she said, "but I may volunteer again after college, if they will have me." Alice's intense desire for knowledge and educa tion has been passed on to her daughter, Alice, who ' is a teacher at the William Trotter School in Dor chester. A son, James, is a per sonnel director for a Chicago firm. There are three grandchildren. Alice will be indebted forever to Langston Hughes, black poet and author, for his words of encouragement: "Hold fast to your dreams, for if dreams die, life is then like a broken-wing bird that cannot fly."

You may enjoy restaurants under the stars, sophisticated supper clubs with dancing between courses, atmospheric spots overlooking the sea. Casinos are ablaze with lights, excitement and people until the beaches heat up again; they're open from two in the afternoon until four or five in the morning. You can take your pick of local or in ternational entertainment, disco or Latin rhythms. Willemstad, the island's capital, straddles the fifth largest harbor in the world. Connecting the two halves of the city is the Queen Emma Pontoon Bridge, a pedestrian walkway that swings open for passing ships. Nearby are the shop lined streets that make Cura cao a bargain hunter's mecca. There's also a float ing market where sailboats line the waterfront to sell fresh fruits and vegetables brought from Venezuela just 35 miles away. In Willemstad is the oldest synagogue in the West, es tablished in the 17th cen tury by South American Jews fleeing the Inquisition. The first Europeans to come to Curacao were the Spaniards in 1499. Leading the landing party was navi gator Amerigo Vespucci, who gave his name to the entire continent. The Dutch captured the island in ,1634 and gave it inde pendence 320 years later.

You may enjoy lux uriating on sophisticated beaches at luxury hotels one day and prefer on another to discover Curacao's se cluded coves. An unexpected bonus for those who fall under the spell of Curacao's many charms is the island's con veniences: English is spoken almost everywhere; dollars are accepted, and change is given in American currency.
