with "big-business."
According to Mrs. Louise

came it gave the students an
opportunity to see for them
selves other black people with
backgrounds much like their
own who "have made It."

Mrs. Prothro spent 13 years on
the public relations staff of Pet
Milk Co, In St. Louis, Mo., and
now works for Farley Manning
