College Counseling This year, in line with other fine college preparatory institutions throughout the country, MBA decided that it needed a position devoted exclusively to assisting Juniors and Seniors in deciding about and gaining acceptance to college. Accordingly, the Directorship of College Counsel- ing was added, and Mr. Ed White was chosen to be that Director. Mr. White was previously the Dean of Admissions at Davidson College and the Director of Athletics at Southwestern. Mr. White, who will assume th e reins of this duty more completely next year, has already worked a great deal with the Juniors. His goal has been to impress upon the students and parents the need for early “college thinking.” In addition to having a conference with each student, he has conducted SAT and Achievement coaching sessions and has guided with Mr. Drake a tour of prestigious Southern universities. Mr. White received his B.A. from Davidson and his M.A. from the University of South Carolina. Office Staff Mr. Ed White The receptionists, Mrs. Bradshaw, and Mrs. Morrissey in the Junior School, and the secretaries, Mrs. Garriott, Mrs. Liles, and Mrs. Kelton, play an essential role in MBA’s daily operation. In addition to their duties for the administration, the secre- taries perform innumerable daily tasks, such as keeping track of the comings and goings of each student, processing the school’s massive quantity of correspondence, including that necessary for college-bound seniors, managing the student fund, and calculating grades. Furthermore, they are always willing to fulfill the various indi- vidual requests which are regularly made. The skill and patience with which they perform their work is commendable and does not go unnoticed. Mrs. Bradshaw Mrs. Liles Mrs. Morrissey Mrs. Kelton 22
