served in the hut following the

The English Department at
St. Alary’s is very fortunate in
having a new member. Airs. J. T.
Greenwood. Although Airs. Green
wood is new to the students at St.
Alary’s, she is well remembered by
the faculty because she taught at
St. Alary’s from 1931-1935 and
later for 2 more years. At that time
she was the only College English
instructor. Airs. Greenwood has
also taught at the State School for
the Blind and at North Carolina
State College. , ,
Mrs. Greenwood did under-
graduate work at Randolph-Alacon.
Afterwards, she entered Tulane
wliere she received her master’s
degree in English. She next studied
creative writing at Columbia
University in New A ork.
Although a native of New
Orleans, she came to St. Alary’s
from New A'ork.
Airs. Greenwood teaches Sopho
more, .Junior, and Senior English.
Her students, as well as other girls
at St. Alary’s, extend a cordial
greeting to Airs. Greenwood and
hope that she will be a member of
our faculty for many years.
On Tuesday, April 23, the Senior
Class met and elected participants
for Class Day which will be held
June 1. Helen Corbett and Dottie
Peirson were selected as Class
Historians. The class poem will
be written by Carolyn Charles, and
Sylvia Crumpler will write the
jirayer for the class.
We are anxious to see Class Day
but hate the thought of such an
outstanding class leaving St.
Alary’s.
