THE TWIG
62 Grads Begin New Lives
By ANN RIVERS
A number of uppcrclassmen
have probably been wondering
what has happened to last year’s
graduates — where they are now,
and what they are doing. Ninety-
four of the class of ’62 are still
living in North Carolina. Virginia
has the next highest number with a
total of eighteen Meredith girls.
Eight of these are living in Alex
andria.
Grads Are Scattered
Four graduates moved to South
Carolina, and one, Seleda Camp,
went on to Georgia, where she is
working as a secretary in Atlanta.
Pat Walston and Peggy Wilkins also
went to the “Deep South” — Pat
to study music at the University of
Mississippi, and Peggy to do gradu
ate work at Tulane in New Orleans.
Judy Purcelle Martin and Salvia
Nash Redwine are now homemak
ers in Texas. Slightly north of them
is Margaret Thomas Stroupe —
homemaker at Fort Sill, Oklahoma.
New York, Tennessee, Michigan,
and New Jersey can each claim two
Meredith grads; Maryland has
three, while Kentucky, Oregon, and
Washington, D. C. each have one.
Seventy Enter Teaching Profession
Seventy of last year's graduates
entered the teaching profession.
Two of them, Pat Shuman Faulk
ner and Liz Hill seem to have
especially interesting jobs in this
field. Liz is teaching at Pressley
Memorial Institute in Assiut, Egypt,
and Pat is planning to teach at an
army post in Munich, Germany.
Other Occupations
Eight of the class of ’62 are en
gaged in social work, five are work
ing in libraries (Carol Rohlfing is
working toward an M.A. in Li
brary Science), two are doing per
sonnel work, three are Assistant
Home Demonstration Agents, and
two are chemists. Of course a num
ber are busily being “just home
makers” — as Nancy Ricker High,
or combining careers with home-
making. Continuing their education
in graduate school, besides Pat
Walston and Peggy Wilkins, are
Carol Elizabeth Kendall, Jean
Knight, Peggy Martin, Ann Chand
ler, Pat Christenbury, and Carol
Heck. Rachel Dailey and Hilda
Maness, and Anne Braswell at
tended graduate school at Duke
during the summer and are now
teaching in Greensboro and Dur
ham respectively.

What do you fear? What do you
worry about? Freshmen were asked
to answer these questions as a part
of their orientation tests. Mr.
Harry K. Dorsett tabulated the an
swers and made them available to
the Twig. In order to establish a
comparison, seniors were polled for
their answers to the same question.
Scholastic Worries
^ With school ahead of them,
sttty-seven freshmen fear scholastic
difficulties, while only one senior is
afraid of practice teaching. In the
area of worries, ninety-one freshmen
feel that they will not do well in
school; five worry about not finish
ing, and thirteen feel that they do not
know how to study. Only three of the
seniors interviewed worry about the
fact that they may not graduate.
Students Fear Failure
Failure of one sort or another is
a great fear among both seniors and
freshmen. Eight seniors fear fail
ure, financial and non-financial, as
teachers or as wives and mothers,
while fifty-nine freshmen fear that
they will fail in life generally. Many
students worry about failure as well
as fear it. Fourteen of the seniors
interviewed state failure as their
greatest worry, while thirty-seven
freshmen share the same worry.
Seniors Fear War
The highest cause of fear in the
seniors is war. Fifteen of them fear
war, while only fourteen freshmen
out of a much greater num^r of
students share this fear. However,
six freshmen worry about the world
situation, but only two seniors ex
pressed such a fear.
Accidents and death are appar
ently a problem for freshmen be
cause thirty-eight of them listed this
problem as their greatest fear,
while only six seniors share this

fear. Their fears are of violent
death, death of their family, and
death in general.
Students Fear Snakes
The biology department has a
big job before them, in the form
of curing thirty-seven freshmen of
their fear of animals and insects.
Three seniors will graduate still
fearing snakes.
Social problems such as speaking
in public are a cause of fear among
sixty-seven of our freshmen, but
relatively few of the seniors experi
ence this fear.
Various Fears
Some of the fears and worries
common to a few members of both
classes are the future itself, the un
known, parent’s health, inability to
love, and religion. There are also
those who fear nothing and have
no worries, while others are con
cerned with mental illness and the
inability to do anything well.
Matrimonial Fears
Matrimony, either the lack of it
or its future failure bothers both
seniors and freshmen. The fresh
men are afraid of never getting
married; while the seniors fear that
thev will be onnr anH
VESTER'S S6 SEBVICE
A few of the personal problems
that the students worry about are
having naturally curly hair, being
overweight, and becoming prema
turely gray.
Frosh Fear Nature
Several freshmen fear nature in
the form of storms, heists, or the
dark, while one senior fears being
left alone. Two seniors are afraid
that they will be kicked out of
school, and one freshman thinks
that she might forget the rules.
Parental problems are fairly com
mon among freshmen; however,
seniors are unconcerned with these.
Unusnal Fears
Two of the unusual fears suf
fered hy the freshmen are seeing
faces in windows at night and get-
ting_ old too fast. One senior is
afraid of roller coasters.
From this comparison, it is evi
dent that the basic fears and worries •
do not change, but the number of
people who have them do. Maybe
four years in college makes us re-
v^p our system of values, or pos
sibly it makes us less mature and
frivilous in some ways. By way
of example, a good number of
freshmen have religious worries, ’
while only a fraction of the seniors
feel that religion is a problem at
all.
