O Rose, thou art DR. WEBB ' S CONTRIBUTION The history of the Cen- tenary Rose began but seven year ' s ago yet it is already well rooted in Centenary ' s heritage. The James Family of Ruston, noted in Centenary ' s history for James Dorm, wished to create a garden on Centenary ' s cam- pus to memorialize the late Mrs. Maggie Hodges James and Mrs. Addie Reynolds Hodges , Mr G.W. James ' mother and grandmother. Both of these women were rose lovers so Mr. G.W. James chose to memorialize them, appropriately, with a rose garden. In 1981, Dr. Donald Webb , president of the college, sought out an ap- propriate rose for the memo- rial. He requested Armstrong Nurseries, in California, to create a rose hybrid for Cen- tenary. In 1983, the Centen- ary Rose arrived. This rose incorporates the school ' s colors, grey and maroon. Mr. G.W. James and Dr. Donald Webb placed the roses in new Hodges Gardens, in front of Hamilton Hall. i 22 • Student Life
