Flying to Hawaii, basking on
the 'beach, and cruising back
home! that’s exactly what Martha
Allan Wilkinson, Saint Mary’s
new English and histoiw teacher,
did as a lieutenant (jg) in the
WAVES before she came to Saint
Mary’s. Technically she was a
“communications officer v ho
worked in radar material.”
Miss Wilkinson was born in
Birininghani, Alabama. Aftei
studying at Judson College, she
received her master’s degree from
the Universitv' of Alabanni.
Before entering the WAVES,
Miss Wilkinson taught for a year
and also worked in the public
library in Birmingham.
Because she underwent inten
sive training at radio-radar school
while in the service, Miss Wilkin
son knows what a struggling stu
dent’s life is like. However, she
likes the teaching very much, and,
as she says, “I Hke working with
people, so 1 enjoy teaeliing. The
girls are sweet, and that s the
When we asked Miss AVilkinson
the usual question of her likes,

girls, she laughingl.v voiced one
doubt, “I’m afraid 1 make more
noise than the girls do !” But look
ing at petite, blonde Miss Wilkin
son, we said to ourselves, “Whj"
not ? She’s just one of the ‘Smedes
girls’ anyway!”

at the front door. I\Iiss Sally
Digges and Mrs. Theodore Par-
trick introduced them to the re
ceiving line. The Rt. Rev. Edwin

iieaded the receiving line, pre
sented tlie guests to Dr. and Mrs.

ough,
that she likes reading. Southern
history that is, but she is also fond
of dogs. She has two dogs at
home which she misses very ninch.
“One is just a dog, and the other
is a long-haired Dachshund. Their
names are Smokj' and Tut,” she
confided.
Miss Wilkinson is also veiy
much interested in amateur dra
matic productions. She worked
on several while in college and
has also written numerous skits.
Of course, the inevitable “vaca
tion” question arose. Miss Wilkin
son is veiw enthusiastic about
Wrightsville Beach and Sea Is
land, Ga., where she often used
to go.
And what did she miss most in
service ? “Shoes with no heels and
no toes!”

students of North Carolina
