THE 1983 Recalling her days at ETBC, Mrs. Dorothy Rogers has seen many changes around campus, both in physical features and in the students who have attended. Mrs. Rogers came to ETBC in 1944 due to the consistant offers of former president Dr. Harvey D. Bruce. It was shortly after arriving that she met her husband to be, Quinton. When she arrived, there were two women's dorms, Merle Bruce and Groner Hall, and three men's dorms, Matthewson Hall, Frank Davis Hall lknown as The Vaticanj and Ienius Hall, which housed the football team. She also recalls how the entire south side of the campus was covered with daffodills and rose bushes. As for social events, Mrs. Rogers said that students stayed on campus instead of going into town. And with it being such a small campus, students knew each other better. ARTIAN DEDICATIO School wide events that took place were the Fall Harvest Festival, which Mrs. Rogers directed, several Fine Arts series, which she served as chairman of for 19 years, a Halloween Carnival that covered the Quad area and various theatrical and musical productions. Mrs. Rogers has served as chairman of the Speech and Drama Department since coming to ETBC. In her years here, she has also taught physical activities courses for women, which included badmitton, gymnastics and clogging , an early form of dance in East Texas. Throughout the years, Mrs. Rogers has sensed that our students have shown stability, sincerity and perserverance in meeting their goals. In her eyes, students of the 40's and 50's were full of the desire to learn. The 60's brought about students who pursued careers in social fields, and the 70's and 80's have led students to go for careers in the Business field. Some other changes in her years at school are that curfew for women was a lot more strict, 7:00 was as late as ladies could stay out on week nights. On weekends it was set back to 10:00 or 11:00. No shorts were worn on campus in those days, except for PE classes. The Quad, as we know it, was initiated by SGA and student contributions shortly after she arrived. To top everything, girls couldn't go out of town on a date unless the school had her parent's permission to do so. Many aspects of school change and things are never the same as we knew them, but the basic fundamental things of life stay the same. Being a force who has been instrumental in changing the lives of many students, The Martian dedicates it's 1983 annual to you, MRS. DOROTHY S. ROGERS.
