$1200 Assistantship
Awarded In Piano
' As I looked through the window
of practice room number sixteen,
Of Memorial Hall, Sissie Allen was
-vorking diligently on a piece for
her senior recital. Sissie smiled
brightly when I asked,her about
receiving an assistantship to the
University of Mississippi Graduate
School.
The award means Sissie will earn
$1200 a year and: teach 12 hours o
uiano a week.while working on her
Master of Music degree. For the
degree- she will study, in addition
to piano, orchestration, theory, and
composition.
To receive the MM degree re
quires two years graduate work
with the presentation of a recital
at the end of that time.
Sissie is not positive that she
will study both years at the ni-
versity of Mississippi; m fact, slie
has not definitely decided to accep
the assistantship.
The last thing Sissie told me as
lo«n »’« “

to, been one big week w.th ih
annual, May Day. my recital,

Like the Class of ’56, this year’s graduates will be entering the teach
ing profession more than any other field. Again married life will occupy
many of the girls. Those who will work after marriage are
ThS to be only a temporary occupation until their husbands finish
school or until they begin having their families.
However, recent surveys have showed that while young women usually
only go into temporary employment after college graduation they ei
turn to their occupations after their children enter college. So maybe,
one of your grandchildren will be taught by a former classmate.
