Teaching, Marriage, and Graduate Work
Are Some Careers Planned by 1963 Grads
By NILEEN HUNT
With graduation approaching,
Meredith seniors are busy filling
out job applications, rejecting or ac
cepting offers for future occupa
tions, or making wedding plans.
Some, however, like Nancy Renfrew,
feel that “What are you plan
ning to do?’’ is a perplexing ques
tion. Ann Sorrell complains that she
is looking but has not found any
thing, and Vicki Johnson states, “I’m
for hire — anyone need me?” Be
cause of her practice teaching,
Frances Knight declares that no one
will hire her. Many other seniors
have no definite plans.
Most Have Definite Plans
The majority of the seniors do
know where they are going, and
several are returning to school. At
Bowman Gray School of Medicine,
Janet Faye Jones will begin a twelve
months course in Medical Tech
nology. Likewise, Marion Hall, who
will also study to be a medical
technologist, will go to Rex Hos
pital. The recipient of a fellowship
for a Master’s program, Helen
Daniel will attend Appalachian
State Teachers College. At the Uni-

what is happening. The former pro
fessor told the students that they
were the two per cent in the roles as
business women and homemakers
who would make things happen.
She concluded her comments by
stating, “Don’t worry that you’ll
forget the answers, but rather, that
you may forget the questions.”
The students attaining member
ship in Silver Shield are chosen on
the basis of character, leadership,
service, and scholarship. Peggy Fish
from Wilson, North Carolina, will
be chief counselor for freshman
counsel groups in the fall. Elected
treasurer of the Astros for the cur
rent year, Peggy also is a hall proc
tor. Named on the Dean’s List, she
has previously served as a member
of the nominating committee, legis
lative board, and as a freshman
counselor.
A native of Danville, Virginia,
Margaret Houghton was tapped for
membership in the honorary society.
Margaret will head the student ac
tivities committee and social stand
ards committee for the 1963-64
school year. At present a hall proc
tor for third Faircloth and an ac
tive member of the Sociology Club,
Margaret served as a freshman
counselor last year.
President of the Student Govern
ment Association for the coming
year, Mary Lyon McKenny is the
third Silver Shield member. Serv
ing as president of the Sophomore
Class, the rising senior from Vir
ginia Beach, Virginia is a hall proc-
toc and member of the ensemble.
She has been a secretary of the
nominating committee, co-chairman
of Junior Stunt, and Junior Class
representative in the May Court.

are Jane Link, Leah Rose Williams,

It isn’l easy to
focus your atten
tion on exams when all
around you people
are packing trunks and
taking down bulletin
boards. The excitenienl
of end-of-the-year
packing can really be
distracting!
A solution to the problem
can be found in
Mac Josephs’ sport clothes.
“The coinforlable outfits
arc actually conducive to
good studying,” declare
Meredith intellects.
Wearing white duck
“clain-diggers” and a navy
and white knit top from
Mac Josephs while she
“reviews'' for an exam is
Susan Singleton. Alice
Creech, another rising
sophomore, chose a pair of
town and country print
burinudas from Mac Josephs
for her e.Kam week
‘■uniform." Cotlon knit
tops in a varietv o[
pastel and “sailorish” colors
will complete versatile
lounging-studying
outfits.
And what’s more—the casual
clothes from Mac Josephs
can be packed iiiunediately
after exams for a
trip to the beach.
For suuuner fashions
to wear as you stroll the
scorching sands or wade
through the tide at
twilight, Susan and
Alice inimedialely think of
Mac Josephs sportswear
(when their minds just
happen to wander away
from sludy notes!)
