She was initiated 1920 into the Alpha Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Wash ington, D. C. and became a charter member of Beta Alpha Omega Chapter, Newark, 1934.

It was Olive's ambition fol lowing college graduation, to prepare for a professional ca reer in social work, so it has been in character that she has given so much in time, energy, finances in a voluntary way. Notwithstanding the four ba bies, which were born in the space of seven years, were given personal care by their mother. Aside from one inci dent in which the little "tom boy" girl fell out a window breaking her leg, there were no serious illness or injuries of the children. Each girl attended Sunday School; all were taken to places of educational interest like the museum and art gal leries. The youngest little girl, Josephine, early showed signs of unusual artistic talent and many of her portrait and land scape paintings and drawings are considered home treasures. The accomplishments of the four daughters, now 42, 40, 38 and 37 years respectively, are indicative of the inspiration and guidance which they re ceived from their mother and father. The following will sketch briefly their careers, marriages and families. Carolyn, the oldest daughter, having finished Roselle High School with honors was gradu ated A.B, from Howard U. in 1946. Later, she received a degree in Library Science from Simmons College. She served in the Newark Library and 16th Corps Library in Japan. She married Henry Pryor (former football star from Rutgers) who now teaches in the Roselle in the Roselle High School and who is a Colonel in the U. S. Reserve Forces. They reside in their own home in Cranford with their four children. Gene-Ann, the second child, after completing Roselle High School with honors—was grad uated with B.S. from Oberlin College. Later she was graduat ed from the Women's Medical College, Philadelphia, served internship in Sydenham Hospi tal. She is now an instructor in Pediatrics at Columbia Uni versity and Harlem Hospital Medical Center. She is attend ing Physician at Englewood Hospital and' School physician in Englewood Public Schools. Dr. Gene-Ann Polk is a Dlplo mate in the National Board of Medical Eraminen and is a Fel low of American Academy of Pediatrics. She lives with her husband Edwin Heme. D.D.S. with their two children in Englewood. Dr. Home is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and has his office in New York City. ! The third daughter, Barbara, completing her secondary edu cation at Roselle High, with honors, then matriculated at Howard University from which she was graduated with the de gree of Bachelor of Arts. Sub sequently, she attended Rut gers, and Columbia University from which she received a Mas ters degree in Library Science. Barbara, the wife of George E. Riley, Ph.D. in Biochemistry, a professor at Atlanta University, is an employee of the Univer sity Library. They own their new home in Atlanta, Georgia, where their three children at tend an integrated day school and an integrated church. The youngest Polk child, Jo sephine, following graduation at the Roselle High School, with honors, entered Mt. Hoi yoke College. Subsequent to her graduation from there with the B.A. degree, she studied at Columbia University and the University of Southern Califor nia from which she -received a Master's degree in Occupation al Therapy. This is a compara tively new field and because of the excellence of her work at the University, she was called to one of the very large hos pitals in that area to set up a program for the administration. Josephine, married to Donald Matthews, aeronautics engineer and propulsion expert, is pres ently using her talent as house wife and mother of a year old son, but like her mother, she gives of herself to voluntary community problems of San Jose, California, where she and her family live in their own private home. This biographical sketch of Olive Bond Polk is told in part. There are many facts, small details of worthwhileness not mentioned. She is adored by her ten grandchildren, cherish ed by her husband and chil dren, respected and admired by all who know her. There are strong inter-family ties among the "Bond and Polk" families. Her people are his people and his people are her people and so with the families of their daughters. It is the opinion of this writ er that Olive's spirit of Every Day Brotherhood rubs off on aS * tvftlf whom she comes in contact and this is the reason for her happiness and success at home and abroad. RE ELECT YOUR MAYOR ~ ■ \ mM ■ I r. Wt WENSE GRABAREK The man who proved he could bring: about better understanding and who continues to work for the betterment of all. For Continued ACTION With Economy. A Vote GRABAREK May 13th ■ • ' ' 'A L • • * ~~ These attractive teen-agers are representative of nineteen New York City high school gradu ates who, on April 7, complet ed a 36-week program of secre tarial career training at college level, conducted by New York University and sponsored by Standard Oil Company (New Jersey). Their candidacy for private office jobs was, so to speak, a "landslide" ; success. All nineteen, including (from left above) Miss Carmen Fuen tes and Miss La Verne Wil liams, already are working for Jersey Standard or Manhattan- based affiliates of the world's largest oil company, The young women, all academic students recommended by their teachers in public and parochial schools of New York City, attended N.Y.U. for 24 weeks on Esso scholarships in order to acquire from professional experts the basic skills, knowledge and at titudes essential for secretarial careers. They next held work assignments with Esso-affiliated companies in New York, re ceiving full pay in each case, but with the opportunity to per fect further any needed skills by continuing to study at NYU three afternoons a week f6*r an other twelve weeks. Only aca demic graduates of New York City high schools are eligible for the program —an experi ment in preparing talented young women for work in busi ness and industry, although their previous schooling had been limited to academic courses. Last month's group of graduates was the third class in the highly successful pro gram, which was inaugurated in 1964.
