Mrs. W. Suiter Deserts
Housework for Classwork
By BETTE BAILEY
Alily disproving the old adage that
"woninii's place is always in tlu> home,"
Mrs. William •>. Suiter lias embarked
upon a profession not at all novel to
the Suiter family—that of pedagogue in
the English and Education departments
of Guilford college.
While homemaking is the traditional
career of faculty wives, Mrs. Suiter be
lieves that teaching not only broadens
her interests and keeps her busier than
ever, but it also gives her a greater and
more valuable Insight into the needs of
her growing family.
Texas born and bred, Mrs. Suiter
attended Southwestern university in
Georgetown, Texas, and graduated with
an A. 1?. degree from East Texas State
Teachers' college. At the University of
Chicago as a graduate student, prepar
ing for a Master's degree in Education,
she met her husband-to-be, and it was
after Texan met Texan that they both
discovered an ironical twist of fate—
their home towns are only 40 miles
apart!

j Well, anyway, they learned Spanish,

don't know Spanish and many of the
