finding time now and then for a game of golf, an hour or two of early morning fishing, or a skillful game of tennis. As a baseball pitcher, he is professional material — proved by the fact that he was at one time offered a contract with the St. Louis Cardinals. Mrs. Rainey, aside from managing a busy household, keeps up with her personal studies. With her experience in working with national youth organizations and in raising two daugh- ters, she is a sympathetic and understanding counselor, well qualified to help students with their problems. Dr. Rainey ' s personal philosophy, as it is expressed both in his professional life and in his daily living, stems from his deep-seated Chris- tian beliefs. In their first year at Stephens, the Raineys have endeared themselves to all who know them. Rather than just the president and his wife they have become real personali- ties and friends whose sincere qualities, along with their complete devotion to the interests of the College, have made a special place for them in the heart of Stephens. Dr, and Mrs, Rainey Behind the administrator, Homer P. Rainey, Ph. D., L. L. D,, President of Stephens College, stands a friendly, truly likeable man. And be- side him stands Mrs. Rainey, a genuine and comfortable friend. These facts have been dis- covered by an increasing number of students since the bonfire and cokie-okie dance of last fall, as Dr. and Mrs. Rainey have joined with enthusiasm in all the activities of the College. The Rainey hospitality has become well known on campus as hundreds upon hundreds of students have visited them in their home. The piano in the living room, with its rack well supplied with familiar songs, bears out the family ' s interest in music and is reminiscent of Dr. Rainey ' s choir-directing days. Music is only one of the Raineys ' many interests, how- ever. Dr. Rainey is an enthusiastic sports fan, Page 14
