Dedication (Contd.) wr i Dr. Holley making a presentation on campus Dr. Holley addressing Donors on Donation Day. DR. SUSIE C. HOLLEY Dr. Susie C. Holley has lived a life of service. She is a woman possessed of a rare combination of talents who has risen from the lowly hills of Goshen, Virginia. Daughter of a minister, and educated at Virginia College in Lynchburg where she completed her high school training and received her Bachelor ' s degree. She did further educational study at Atlanta University where she pursued courses in guidance and sociology. Dr. Holley has risen to a place of eminence in education- al, religious and civic realms. Her affiliation with Florida Memorial College began when she married Dr. Robert L. Holley, then President of the college. At that time, Florida Memorial was a high school and junior college owned and operated by the Baptist General State Convention of Florida, Inc. As a member of the Trustee Board as well as President of the Women ' s Convention, Mrs. Holley gave two full years of travel in the promotion and interpretation of the value of the move from St. Augustine to Miami. She secured more than one-half million dollars in pledges to the college for the Development Program and encouraged many friends to be- come regular supporters of college. It was under her leadership that a Donation Day for the school was estab- lished. In recognition of her years of dedicated service, the college presented her with an Honorary Doctor of Human- ities degree. Presently, Mrs. Holley is still serving on the Board of Trustees and her dedication to the college has not lessened over the years. Dr. Holley states that she has one burning desire in her heart for the college: That through dedication and partici- pation of the Baptists in Florida and their friends the budget of the college be reached annually; that the development program for the building and completion of Florida Memo- rial College as envisioned be fulfilled and that young men and women in attendance will reach their highest potential in leadership and scholarship. The editorial board of this annual therefore dedicates this publication to Dr. Holley, for all the contributions above, and for: Her dedication to Florida Memorial College! Her love and devotion to God! Her love of her fellowmen! Her total efforts to help others! Her hard labors with Christian women! Her unselfish contribution to mankind! Her deep sincerity and work with the Trustees! The things she has done that we do not know about! THANK GOD FOR CREATING ANOTHER GREAT BLACK WOMAN! AN ANGEL OF LOVE DEVOTION. Dedication 9
