Settling Into As the voyager journeyed along its course, crew- men settled into place and the official opening of the 1982-83 school year was marked by the annual Fall Convocation. The seniors donned their caps and gowns, then proceeded down the aisle with the realization that their final year at Wesleyan was finally upon them. The underclassmen, meanwhile, looked forward to a serious start to the semester’s studies. The guest speaker for Fall Convocation was Dr. Betty Siegel, President of Kennesaw College. Dr. Siegel encouraged the women to grow and to not be restrained by traditional female roles. She seemed to be telling the crew to set forward on their voyage with full sails toward whatever horizon they were seeking. Next, Wesleyan presented an honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts to one of her own graduates, Eugenia Rawls. Miss Rawls is recognized the world over as an outstanding actress. That evening, Wesleyannes had the privelege of seeing Miss Rawls perform her one-woman show, “Affectionately Yours, Fanny Kemble, ” which she wrote, directed, and starred in. Thus the Wesleyan voyager was off to a wonderful beginning with blue skies ahead. 4 £ , %
