| Fire Wardens The dorm is quiet, with all students—except one—sound asleep. That one flips a switch—and another fire drill is underway. In every room lights are turned on, raincoats are hastily donned, | and everyone hurriedly leaves the building. A nuisance? Yes, but also a necessity, and whether she objects or not, each girl realizes the impor- tance of knowing what to do in case a real fire should ever threaten Coker. wee Left to Right: Jackson, Matthews, Huggins, Alexander, Whittington—Chief; Owens, White, Connor, Earp. tappa Mu Epsilon For those with mathematical leanings, the , Math Club furnishes an opportunity to further develop their interest in mathematics. The local club is the Alpha Chapter of the national organ- ization, Kappa Mu Epsilon, and is the only chap- ter in South Carolina. This year members have enjoyed programs on the history of mathematics and tricks with numbers. At other meetings the members have worked unusual problems. Fresh- men math students have visited at some of the club’s meetings. Left to Right: D. Hucks, Brinson—President, Mr. Saunders—Sponsor, C. Hucks, Askins, Gee. 109

Ushers Whether it’s a faculty recital, community con- cert, or lecture, the ushers are always at the door as guests and students enter the auditorium. A Coker armband against a pretty evening dress, a handful of programs and a smile—these are the trademarks of our ushers. They’re always there and ready to help with a smile. Head ushers this year are Dorothy Dowling and Jennie Lee Bar- ringer. Left to Right: Collins, Burgess, Harvey, Brinson, Long, Dowling, Barringer, Johnson. Chapel Proctors Mass meeting or chapel, the Chapel Proctors are always on hand to mark down in their little roll books who is present or absent. Somehow they always seem to see us—even if we’re sitting in the wrong seat and how often they have to change “tardies” to ‘‘presents!”’ Besides wearing out lead and erasers, these proctors also wear out good leather soles walking up and down the aisles carrying all kinds of material back and forth to the students. What would we do without them! Chapel Proctors are elected each semester. Those pictured are our first semester proctors. First Row: James, Johnson—Head Proctor, Sawyer. Second Row: Webster, Matthews, Barnes, Harvey, Speredonakis, Williams, Brinson. 108

CHARLOTTE Reaves, Editor the Milestone The week of elections is a hectic one—we can never quite decide who is the best of the best. However, when it was announced that “Charlotte Reaves has been elected Editor of The Milestone”—there was a burst of applause, and we knew that our annual, The Milestone, was in good hands. We were sure of it when Louise Price was elected as Business Manager and Sylvia Graham was chosen Assistant Editor. We could not have asked for a better staff, and indeed, they have proved worthy of their calling. The hard work and and the worries began that summer long before school opened. Charlotte and Louise had already chosen their staff. Work was as- signed to be written by the editorial staff, and the business staff began its long hikes in search of advertisements. Plans were made and remade, ideas began to form. Layouts were changed a dozen times or more. Slowly, The Milestone began to take shape, and the staff began to realize that they really were editing an annual. In the meanwhile, Mr. Brumbaugh was busy design- ing the cover for our annual. The articles were written and re-written. Either this one was too long or that one was too short. Names and words were spelled wrong and had to be corrected. Charlotte and Sylvia were as busy as bees working on new layouts and assigning new copy. There were millions of pictures to be made, For days and weeks it seemed, Charlotte and Mr. Ashcraft or Sylvia and Mr. Ashcraft tramped across campus, from one building to another, Beauties and cuties had to be posed, Miss America pictures collected, and girls and frogs caught looking indifferent. After all the pictures were made, some had to be retaken because Sally or Jane or Mary couldn’t be seen. Louise and her staff were busy making trips through Hartsville and over to Florence. Advertise- ments were sold, bills sent out, and other bills received. Feature Editors Linda Gause and Mary Kay raced with time. Activities Editors Beth Owens and Hazel Johnson busily checked on honor teams and tournament scores. Dixie Whittington and Mary Kay Huggins, Organization Editors, went from one club to another gathering information about who's
