Love Os Learning Is Driving Factor
R«a Dough is a soft-spoken
SWnan whose deep love for
and intense attitude of
religion is revealed in the
serenity of her countenance and
through the earnest expression
of her eyes. Mrs. Dough is also a
dedicated student who gives
more-than-a-little credit to
College of'The AlfSemarle for
her recent-found academic
interest.
Not that there aren’t a
considerable number of
dedicated scholars at this
community college. Their
presence is a constant factor in
building the reputation of
excellence the institution enjoys
among four year colleges and
businesses which are eager to
accept graduates. But Rosa
Dough is cast from a slightly
different mold than the others,
for several reasons.
There are probably few, if
any, of those enrolled in the

college's broad variety of
programs, who travel so many
miles, so often, to attend classes.
She drove 136 miles a day, three
days a week last spring when
she was enrolled in the business
technology program. Rosa lives
in Manteo.
This may not seem to be a feat
<of unusual proportions to many,
but for one who is in the
quinquagenerian age
classification, as Mrs. Dough is,
it can be looked at in a different
light. If that isn’t enough, she
now makes the trip five days
each week to attend classes at
Roanoke Bible College where
she is presently completing her
education.
She follows a schedule which
younger people would shun. “If
I have to study, I get up at 3
A.M.,” she says. “Otherwise,
I’m up at four o'clock to leave
by 5 A.M. for my 7:30 class.”
Being the oldest student at
RBC doesn’t bother her either.
“It’s beautiful here,” she said.
“It’s Christ in action.” Rosa
feels she is growing spiritually,
too. “I think the Lord is leading
me outside the church,” she
proclaimed.
She said she tries to apply
what she learns to her own life.
After she finishes her studies at
Roanoke Bible College, the 56-
year-old housewife and mother
is interested in doing Christian
social work with young people.
“I think these young people are
worth saving,” she stated.
“Where I live, there is no place
to help young adults. I hope this
will change.
Mrs. Dough has a genuine
interest in people. “If I can help
a young person or older one, I
want to do it,” she declared.
Her sincerity is demonstrated
through the thoughtful act of
regularly taking widows and
senior citizens to worship
services. Sometimes she tapes
services to be replayed when
she visits shut-ins.
She does not limit herself to
being just an active church
member. Mrs. Dough is also a
member of the board of
directors of both the Dare
County Humane Association
and Animal Shelter. She has a
strong interest in en
vironmental preservation,
particularly along Dare
County’s Outer Banks.
How did she become so
involved? Initially, it was a
matter of economics. During
World War 11, she had
completed a business course
when her husband was
employed by the Navy yard in
Portsmouth, but had never
worked.
After the war, they moved
back to Manteo where Dough
works with the National Park
Service. He is nearing
retirement age, so last year,
Rosa decided to continue her
education in order to
supplement the family income
subsequent to her husband’s
retirement.
It was at this time she came to
College of The Albemarle. She
credits Curtis Newby, one of the,
college’s counselors, with
giving her the incentive to
progress educationally. “He
helped me spiritually, as well as
academically,” she claims.
She was also inspired by Kay
Baumwart, staff member of
the library science department,
with whom she worked in the
THE CHOWAN HERALP
COA library last summer.
“COA opened up a brand new
world for me, and it’s nice to
know I’m not too old to learn,”
she said.
“Now I have a purpose in my
life. I’m enjoying living, but I
want to help somebody else,”
Mrs. Dough summed up her
feedings. With this kind of
philosophy and the
determination she has shown in
her pursuit of learning, it is safe
to assume that, in the future, a
good many people will be helped
by Rosa Dough.
State Team
To Evaluate
School Plans
A team of four staff members
of the State Board of Education
will be meeting with educators
in Education District 1 on May
7-9 to review each local school
unit’s Plan for Occupational
Education. The plans were
reviewed in Raleigh during
April. The team will make
recommendations to the State
Board next month, and school
units will be notified in July as
to allocations they will receive
from occupational education
funds to operate programs for
the 1975-76 year in grades 7-12.
Each school unit must
prepare and submit to the State
Board of Education its long
range plan, biennial plan, and
annual application for State-
Federal Aid as a basis for the
State Board to allocate funds to
local educational agencies for
occupational education. The
long-range plan must be
updated every 5 years and
biennial plans every two years.
The Local Plan for
Occupational Education is
based upon planning program
for people. It is the formal
request that local school units
make to the State Board of
Education for funds to support
local occupational educatin
programs and services. The
document is completed at the
local level in consultation with
educators, lay citizens, and
representatives of the
agriculture, business, and
industrial community.
Most people will do anything
for money, except work.
PANTO-WHAT? —Bob Ford, chairman of the Drafting
and Design Department at College of The Albemarle,
and Eddie Hyman, student, discuss a point of the iso
metric drawing which will be used on the cover of the
booklet containing IT working drawings of a panto
graph. The drawings will be used by the association
of instructors in machine shops to fabricate the com
ponents of the 37-piece machine as part of an interschool
project involving 17 technical institutes in North Caro

while the wedding ceremony was taking place, either locked
a lock or tied a knot in a cord, and then threw the lock
or cord away.

Students Are Seeing Double
Students in the Drafting and
Design Department at the
College of the Albemarle have
been seeing double lately. At
least the project they have been
working on will result in a piece
of equipment which will have
the capacity to make pre
determined scaled copies of
most line drawings.
The project consists of a set of
working drawings of a
pentograph which will be used
as an interschool project for
machine shop instructors at
technical institutes in North
Carolina. Seventeen schools will
receive a set of drawings.
Each school will be assigned
one or more components of the.
device to machine in its shop.
After the work has been
completed, the components will
be gathered and assembled into
individual pantographs, each
having 37 parts. If these
components have been
machined to tolerances called
for in the drawings, each should
be interchangeable with the
other.
