Mrs. Emma Lewis thinks ‘‘people, not things,’^ are most important
In the day-to-day routine of
Elon College several people are
virtually essential to the
smooth operation of the college.
Mrs. Emma Lewis, whose
official title is director of
secretarial services, is one such
person, known by almost
everyone associated with the
college.
A native of Dunn, N.C., Mrs.
Lewis graduated from Woman's
College, now U.N.C.-G, and
came here in October 1958 as a
part-time secretary in the
dean's office. With expansion of
the offices of the college, and by
word of mouth, that she was
available to type tests for
professors, Mrs. Lewis's job
quickly grew to full-time

moved into her own office on
first floor Alamance and has
been there to serve everyone
whether his needs be clerical
help, advice, or just a friendly
"Hello."
Her dynamic personality
bubbles out in conversation, and
her pleasant manner makes one
feel at ease. Mrs. Lewis's
activities away from Elon keep
her busy also. A mother of two,
now grown, she has taught
Sunday School for a class of
three-year-olds at Frist
Presbyterian Church in
Burlington for the last 22 years.
She also works voluntarily for
the American Cancer Society
and hopes that a universal cui'e
for cancer will be found within
her lifetime. Her "fun and
games" is playing bridge in two
bridge clubs.
In 1976 Mrs. Joasne Haizlip
was appointed as Mrs. Lewis
first full-time assistant in

student aides. In expanding the
services of her office, Mrs. I«wis
has a new A B Dick 15000 copy

puts it, "does everything except

Although Mrs. Lewis does not
see as many students as she
would like, she says she is here
to help in the actual business of
educating young people. This is
what she really cares most
about. 'People, not things, are
the most important aspects of
my life," she says.

During the winter term Dr.
Andrew J. Angyal, a new
member of the English
department, will offer a drama
workshop under the English
491 seminar series. Students in
the course will study all phases
of production while rehearing a
fast-paced situation comedy to
be presented the first weekend
of the spring term. Dr. Angyal
also plans to introduce students
to the techniques of method
acting as well as approaches to
comedy.
Dr. Angyal would like
students interested in the
drama program to contact him

This fall Elon College could
possibly have the largest
freshman class in the history of
the institution. Approximately
675 freshmen arrived on
campus Sunday, some leaving
their parents for the first lime.
Mrs. Marydell Bright,
coordinator of admissions and
financial aid, commented that
this year's freshman class is
■big and crowded, and hopefully
will leave Elon as happy
satisfied students."

tremendous amount of
co-operation from the cities of
Majors and interested
students in the departments of
business administration,
business education, accounting,
economics, and secretarial
science gathered at the end of
the spring semester to induct
academic honor students into
two honor societies. Students
were inducted into Epsilon Beta
Epsilon if they had averages of
3.0 or better and majored in
,Acctg, BA, BE, or Economics;
students with a 3.0 or better and

Although experience is not
necessary, it is helpful, Dr.
Angyal says. 'The Elon College
winter theatre workshop
production will be staged in a
little more than a month," he
pointed out. 'It is, therefore,
essential that all cast and crew
attend all rehearsals when
humanly possible. Rehearsals
will begin promptly and run
three to three and one-half
hours. We cannot afford absence
or lateness. Therefore, if you
feel you cannot make this sort of
commitment, it is only fair not
to commit yourself to the

commented Mrs. Bright.
Enrollment of the freshman
class has been a result of an
increase in students from
Virginia, New Jersey,
Maryland, and Florida. North
Carolina students have not
dimini.shed either. There are
more N.C. students, but the
main increases are from the
other four states.
Another point is that there is
an increase in transfer students
over last year and there are
fewer re-admissions.
