Childhood Dream Of Black
Polio Victim Comes True
NASHVILLE, Tenn.-When
Junnie Dean was six years old,
she was fascinated by the type
writers and telephones at the
Children's Hospital in Knoxvillc
where she made frequent visits.
Nothing, she recalls, seemed
more important than what the
secretaries were doing.
"Right then and there, I
vowed to become a secretary
and a member of an office
staff," Miss Dean, now 24,
relates.
She had one major problem,
however. She was confined to
a wheelchair—a victim of polio.
Nevertheless, her work today
as a secretary with the Blount-
Monroe County Community
Action Agenc\ (CAA) is rated
"above average." And she is
well on her way to a successful
career in the field of her choice.
Polio struck Miss Dean's
family in 1952. One brother
died. Another brother, al
though ill for some time, re
covered. The disease left Jonnie
unable to walk.
Her weekly visits to the
hospital for therapy were
brightened by watching the
secretaries at work. Her deter
mination to one day have a job
like theirs remained firm
through successive operations
(unsuccessful) and years of
therapy.
In school she participated in
as many business projects as
possible. The more she learned
about office responsibilities, the
stronger her desire to become a
secretary.
Following graduation from
high school, the ambitious
young woman enrolled in the
Maryville Rehabilitation Center
for further training and some
practical experience in office
work. This was followed by 18
months at the Area State Voca
tional School in Knoxvillc.
When ready to look for a
job, Miss Dean contacted the
Tennessee Employment Service
Office in Maryville. They put
her in touch with the Blount-
Monroe CAA and she was
quickly hired as a secretary.
"I've never been happier."
Miss Dean says. "This program
is designed to help people and
I'm in position to know what it
means to be an individual who
needs help."
She smiles when she recalls
her first day at work. "It just
so happened that I was hired at
one of the busiest times of the
year," she says. "Program
reports were due and the typing
was rather difficult for me. It
had to be precise and I knew
that I had to try extra hard to
do what was expected of me."
She did the job and enjoyed
every minute of it.
Today, Miss Dean helps co
ordinate the local Head Start
program by keeping records
current. These include student
applications and medical and
dental records for 150 children.
She makes reports of important
events for parents and teachers,
accounts for visits by doctors,

Being confined to a wheel
chair creates some problems.

adjusted to the physical diffi

The latest evening color
navy. Surprised? Long a hit
for daytime, navy now makes
a beautifully understated en
trance on the evening scene.
Although it's not predicted as
a replacement for black, it
now looks like the newest
color for after five. And it's
offset so smashingly with the
new deeper eye shadows and
lip shades. Lip shades—reds
of course.
