CAMPUS CAPERS With Dianne Simpson An Outstanding JCSU Teacher In any phase of life there are good things about objects, situations or circumstances, people and places that seem to always stand out more than . the rest. So is it on the Johnson C. i Smith University Campus someone who stands out as a most distinguished figure. Like the sun of the solar system she leaves her rays of joy, hope and faith where ever she goes. Although she is a keeper of a busy household being a wife and a mother of three children, she finds the time to be affiliated with all sorts of organizations; com munity, state and national; social, civic and religious. And yet on the campus of Johnson C. Smith University she is known as "the lady who has it together.” This lady who is an instructor of Communication Skills. Literature, Englisji, Speech and Drama is Mrs. Henrietta Scarborough Rhe drick. Mrs. Knednck, born in Wil mington, N.C. is a resident of Charlotte. She was voted not one, but two consecutive years, 1976 and 1977, as Fe male Teacher of the year at JCSU, as well as Woman of the Year in 1975. Why is it that so many Smithites feel that Mrs. Rhe drick deserved the titles? Ac cording to many students Mrs. Rhedrick is a lady who knows how to cope with students. She makes students eager to learn by the techniques she uses to instruct. Her classes are of the type that one would be willing to miss a McDonald’s McFeast or a Hungry Bull’s steak in order to be on time. Unlike many instructors in colleges who have the tenden cy to make the students feel as a mere number, Mrs. Rhe drick makes a great majority of her students feel that they can be legends of their own times. , ci__ A 12__1_i.l. ‘'■•v, MV liilIU), vail UC MftCII as a student for she listens, un derstands and accepts sugges tions and criticisms as a stu dent, though she is never forgotten as being the instruc tor. No matter if a student is in her Speech. English or Drama classes, or a member of the Ira Aldridge Drama Guild or Alpha Psi Omega Dramatic Honor Fraternity, he knows that he is under the direction of a person who cares about him as an individual A stu dent may not be the most perfect speaker there is. nor the greatest literary critique, nor an actor like the old pro himself, Shakespeare, but Mrs Khedrick makes him feel that he is pretty darn good. Mrs Rhedrick feels that by being an instructor she has an obligation to her students She feels that the future depends « t . • M« M»« .Mlfl»/«MIMi on the kind of student that _ graduates from school. “A good instructor,” accor ding to Mrs. Rhedrick, “is one who not only deals with the subject matter that is to be taught .but also with the total living aspect of the indivi-' dual." From observing a list of the many different activities that Mrs. Rhedrick is and has been involved, one would not quite believe how she can even possess any ounce of strength to be as active and together as she is on the JCSU campus. Mrs. Rhedrick was a 1967 graduate of Johnson C. Smith University where she received her B.A. in English. Further studies were held at Hampton Institute (1967), University of Georgia (1969), Wake Forest Univ.
