\ iii k A Ha MRS. WANDA EDWARDS Busy Chowan Nurse She Gets Up With Chickens To Care for Chowanians EVERYBODY PAYS ATTENTION during special campus activities. Mrs. Wanda Edwards, Chowan Col lege’s farming nurse, “lives on the farm and gets up with the chickens” to direct health services for Chowan’s students, faculty and adminstration. Caring for health on campus, she operates the Penny Infirmary under the supervision of local physiciians. The ultramodern medical facility Mrs. Edwards operates has two floors of space and equipment, including treat ment rooms and wards. Along with Dr. L. E. Barnhill and Dr. A. A. McLean, she just completed revising the list of approved medicines for students. She keeps the infirmary open from 7:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. each day, commuting from the family farm near Boykins, Va. Before coming to Chowan, Mrs. Edwards served as office nurse for a surgeon. Her busy schedule somehow allows time to enjoy “kittens, dogs, chickens, pigs, calves and other farm animals you can think of.” “I’m strictly a country girl, born and raised on the farm,” she ex plains, “and proud of it.” Her husband, Robert Edwards, is a life insurance agent with offices in Franklin, Va., and they have two children: Bruce and Debbie. She be lieves that, at C'owan College, she has found the ideal combination of pleasant country living and meaning- full association wiith the life, growth and development of the college com munity. Her family also enjoys college life, attending special events at Chowan throughout the school year. Nursing Students Visit Hospitals Twenty-six Chowan students pre paring for careers as medical secre taries were guests recently at hospi tals in Greenville, Suffolk, Va., and Richmond, Va., as they prepared to choose hospitals where they wil serve as interns. They toured facilities and health services at these hospitals as well as in surrounding communities. Mrs. W. W. Edwards, Jr., profes sor in Chowan’s Business Department, and Harvey W. Harris, Chowan’s Di rector of College Public Relations, accompanied them.
