ANITA LOUISE DAWKINS
...Rising Harding senior
Anita Dawkins Feels That
Success Is Within Her Grasn
By Teresa uurns
Post Staff Writer
Success. It’s something
sought after by many and
, obtained by few. But our
beauty, Anita Louise
Dawkins, feels that success
is within her grasp and all
she has to do to capture it is
reach out7~—
“My ambition in life is to
become successful,” she
stated. “I would like to be a
successful model. ’_
^s a rising 12th grader at
KW’ding Senior High
School, Ms. Dawkins shows
an interest in various
activities - ones that will
-not only strengthen her
modeling career but also
Strengthen her intellect
ually.
She enjoys jogging, cross
stitching and listening to
music especially jazz and
reading.
Her favorite subject is
English. “I read anything
as long as its interesting. I
enjoy exciting fiction books
and certain parts of
history,’ she remarked.
Sue is a member ot Steele
Creek AME Zion Church
where she is president of
the youth group, president
of the Junior Usher Board
and a member of the Young
Adpfc Choir. “I benefit

church,” she announced.
i‘lfer plans following high
school graduation include
attending Winston-Salem
State University. Her
major, as of yet, has not
been decided.

Dr. Lewis Llppmnan Brings
Vast Experience To Area
Charlotte is gaining a
new doctor.
Dr. Lewis M. Upperman,
Naturopathic Physician
will bring a vast amount of
experience to the Charlotte
area. .
—Upperman s career in
medfcine began when he
was pre-med student at the
University of Florence.
From there he left and
attended Great Lakes Col
lege of Physical Medicine
in Cleveland, Ohio. After
graduation Upperman
spent several years prac
ticing medicine at the
Preston Clinic in ’Cleve
land.
In 1963, Upperman tra
veled to Africa. While re
siding there he was ap
pointed by the AME Bishop
Madison Reid as visiting
physician for the Voice of
Africa Missions. Upper
man also was assistant to a
very prominent Norwegian
surgeon, Dr. Olar Bjorgass
oAfe World Wide Mission
of Basse Liberia.
Returning to the states in
1974 Upperman opened a

outgoing."
The youngest child of Mr.
and Mrs. Coleman Daw
kins, our beauty sites her
oldest sister as her favorite
person.
“Whenever 1 have a pro
blem I cap go to my sister,
Johnnie Washington, and
talk to her about it. She’s
older and has already been
through fnany of the expe
riences I am going through
now. She is able to give me
some of the advice I am
looking for.”
Her favorite in the enter
tainment field is A1 Jar
reau. Stanley Clark and
George Duke’s tune, “It's
You,” has her fancy at the
moment.
Anything our beauty en
ters she takes seriously.
She was named the most
outstanding Cadet in ROTC
in the ninth grade and is
still active at Harding in
the ROTC. She was also a
member of Project Aries
last year.
In her seventeen year life
span Ms. Dawkins has
learned that, “You only
have one life so live it right
and enjoy it,” she stated.
Her concerns stem to the
less fortunate. “Nationally
I would give the unfortun
ate kids a chance to see the
real outside world and I
would make sure that they
all have enough to eat.”"
It won’t be long before
our beauty will complete
high school and college and
face the real world her
self. No doubt, success will
meet her half way.
