Exemplifying the 1987 Quadrangle ' s theme, LC the Road to Success , we pre- sent Mrs. Julia Traylor Dyar, Director of the Office of Institutional Relations. Her steps on the Road to Success started off when she was born on May 2, 1925, in LaGrange, Georgia, to James Edward Tray- lor and Gladys Marchman (both de- ceased). In the year of 1943 after she had graduated from Greensboro High School in 1942 she became a freshman at La- Grange College. From 1943 to 1946 Mrs. Dyar was one of many young women who made up the backbone of L.C. with their charm, wisdom, and spirit. Some of her many accomplishments while at L.C. were: Delta Phi Delta, serving as its presi- dent when she was a senior. She was elected Miss Freshman, was chosen for OF and was freshman representative to the Student Council, she was sophomore representative to the Council, its secretary as a junior and senior vice-president. She was a member of the BSU, being program chairman her junior year and president her senior year. She was secretary of her class when she was a junior. As a fresh- man she was treasurer of the Junior Glee Club. She was a member of the Choral Club when she was a sophomore and of the Chapel Choir and Concert Choir her last two years. She was treasurer of the Concert Choir her last two years. She was a member of the L Club for three years and a member of the Dance Club for two.

She was as- sistant advertising manager of the Scroll as a sophomore and business manager her last two years. She was chosen as a Superlative and elected to Who ' s Who her senior year. After she had completed her four years at L.C. she married in 1948 to the late Hubert L. Dyar. Her and her husband bought a small paper and she served as associate editor and columnist for their weekly newspaper, The Royston (Ga.) Record. For seven years she was a correspondent for the Atlanta Constitution. Dur- ing this period she also wrote feature stories and a Sunday column for the Anderson (S.C.) Independent. In 1958 Mrs. Dyar became assistant manager of Georgia Press Association, she served in t his position until February, 1972, when she was named Acting Manager. She was named executive manager and corporate secretary in November, 1972, a posi- tion she held until she accepted the L.C. position in 1978. She was also the Editor, Editor ' s Forum, official publication, for the GPA from 1962 to 1978.

I call her ' the Woman of all seasons ' because anything you ' ll ask her to do, she ' ll do it. She was further quoted as saying, College Students, nieces and nephews are her children, for she has more sympathy, empathy, compas- sion for them while being a dedicated Christian — it radiats and shows in her life.
