i) bo THE PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICE is a focal point of Coker life, The activities in this office center around the acquirement of new students primarily. This job alone requires at least part of the time of everyone on the public relations staff—Sterling Smith, Mrs. Julia Smith, Miss Sylvia Sweet,—and is a full-time job for Miss Wilhelmina Kirkland. This is certainly not the only responsibility of this office, for our Public Relations department is the link between Coker and the public. Consequently, Mr,. Smith, Public Relations director, is a leader in several civic organizations; he is on many committees and is responsible for special events and projects on and off the Coker campus. He stays in close connection with the alumnae and has at least a ping-pong knowledge of most of the students, It is quite evident that Mr, Smith is a busy man—in spite of the fact that he was once tabbed ‘‘a man without a job” because he had to give up the management of Miss South Carolina to the Miss America officials! Miss Wilhelmina Kirkland, an assistant to Mr. Smith, travels over South Carolina and neighboring states representing Coker to all of the high schools. She willingly answers questions concerning the academic departments, sport facilities, student-faculty relation- ships, and, of course, the inevitable question—‘How close is the nearest boys’ school to Coker?” Her answers show not only her interest in the prospective students, but especially her love for Coker College. The newspapers of the Home States are kept well informed with the happenings on Coker’s campus regarding its students and their activities. The man responsible for this is Dr. C. A. Sisson, He also makes certain that when a Coker student does something outstand- ing, her hometown finds out about it through the local newspaper. The Public Relations secretary, Mrs. Julia Smith, keeps the office operating smoothly. With her efficiency and patience, she handles the correspondence and keeps the others’ schedules straight while they are traveling. The ALUMNAE SECRETARY, Miss Sylvia Sweet, is connected with the Public Relations in another capacity. Her main job is to keep up with news of all the alumnae. She has to do a great deal of traveling to arrange and attend all alumnae meetings in this area. Miss RoBerTA McKinnon, Librarian Mrs. H. A. C. Waker, Assistant Librarian | i pe rr re ts at ‘ees E88 aba elan pape mane me ae 44 et | | TUE ; Miss SyLviA SWEET, Alumnae Secretary THE LIBRARY is one of the places where Cokernuts are most likely to be found, The library staff, headed by Miss McKinnon and Mrs. Walker, spend much time in making it a pleasant place in which to study. The attractive bulletin boards, book displays, and flower arrangements are evidence of their interest and work. The Fine Arts Room, which houses the Hi-Fi record player and records, is a favorite with all. Chopin, Brahms, Beethoven, or Schubert—someone is listening to Civ music, or “just listening.’’ The lovely art books are also in frequent use by the students. The Periodical Room, where we catch up on current events of all kinds—perhaps following our own Miss America’s travels—is another popular room in our library. Life, Today’s Health, The Dance Observer—whatever our interest in reading, our library provides it for us, Our library, for both study and enjoyment, is a must on the Coker campus. THE FINE ARTS ROOM in good use. FPEppesakeccaes se
