People Interest Helen Sullivan, New Assistant At Salem The TODDLE HOUSE 878 W. Fourth St. Phone 2-3737 By Sue Harrison “People are my biggest interest,” said Miss Helen Sullivan, the new Assistant Dean at Salem College. “I like to work with people and help them.” Although she was born and raised in Winston-Salem, her acti vities have carried her from Win ston to Salem. In contrast to her former work, she remarked that life at Salem was leisurely and pleasant in comparison to the tenseness of the State Department in which she worked for a time. Miss Sullivan attended Wiley Grammer School and she graduated from Reynolds High School. While in high school she was secretary of her senior class, a member of the National Honor Society and the Glee Club. Women’s College of the Univer sity of North Carolina was Miss Sullivan’s next choice of schools. At W. C. she was president of the Baptist Student Union and student representative to the State Student Legislature. She also worked for (4ie Inter Faith Council, the Y. W. C. A. and the Education Club. With a major in Education and a double minor in music and his tory, Miss Sullivan graduated with a B. A. degree. Starting her career.
