This page is a slight expression of the great appreciation which is so sincerely felt by those who have known her, and have recognized the many unheralded services, which she has rendered the Alma College campus. Ma Kain came to Alma College in the fall of T944 as the housemother for a group of women who, during the war years were to live in what is now the Sigma Tau Gamma house, while the Navy took over Wright Hall. When the war was over and the women moved back to Wright Hall, Ma Kain became the Head Resident of Pioneer Hall, then assigned to returning veterans. When Mary Gelston Hall was built and Cole Cottage no longer could hold the over- flow of women, Ma Kain again was placed in charge of women. This time, it was the women who took over Pioneer, and the men who returned to Wright Hall. She will not say whether she prefers living with women or with men. When pressed, she replies without hesitation, Of course, l like them all. To say that this liking is mutual is to understate the case. More than five generations of students have fallen into this category. Many of them continue to ring her doorbell as they revisit their alma mater. With these thoughts in mind we regret her leaving. . RE . ,,. P:-A: in ' . 1 fm a S. va' 0 2 2- w ?-7.9 Vs 'lv 5 44.1 'T' K -A V 2, f 0 9 ss f 0,57 ' 2, 'gi til.: .M I' 'fjl .955 Sw? lt bite?
