A wom- an is one of 114 finalists for the national Teacher in Space competition. Together, they share one common ex- perience. Both are Catawba College graduates. Tom Smith, president of Food Lion, a Salisbury-based grocery chain with sales of $ 1 .5 billion a year, worked as a bag boy while he attended Catawba. Today, he leads the rapidly-expanding company. The company ' s former president, Ralph Ketner, donated $3 million to Catawba this year for a new business school. Cyndi Zeger, a 1973 graduate of Ca- tawba, was among the two finalists cho- sen from North Carolina for the NASA space program. They represent the outstanding men and women who have attended Cataw- ba. Other headliners include Charlie Gabri- el, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force; Scott Holmes, actor in Ryan ' s Hope, Claude Hampton, senior vice president of Na- bisco; and Phil Kirk, North Carolina Secre- tary of Human Resources. taJ SK

The Tradition Continues It ' s easy to point out past suc- cesses from Catawba College. They stand out in the city sur- rounding the college and extend in all directions across the nation and into other countries. But that ' s not to say there are not success stories at the col- lege now. Years ago, the stand- outs of the business world, teaching profession, athletic teams and other areas lived and studied at the campus. Today, 900 leaders of tomorrow join them in their educational begin- nings. The college indeed is Rich in the Tradition of Success. Past graduates have borne out that fact. And present and future graduates will contribute to that success. The students today lack only a tradition built upon years working at their respective crafts. Give them time, and they too will add to the long and suc- cessful tradition established and continued by the college and its students. Greta Parrott auditions for Barnum, a fall production.
