i Ma Wimberly Captures '63 Daedalian Dedication The legend of Ma Wimberly is told in the theme of the dedication page of the 1963 Daedalian Yearbook. The Ma Wimberly legend originates with the test of years and Seniors. Mrs. Zenda Wimberly began her University career as a student majoring in Physical Education at CIA. She gradu- ated with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1926, and returned to Texas Woman's University in 1957 to join the Residential Staff and live in the senior dormitory, Stoddard Hall. Through the oral and written TWU tradition she became the Ma Wimberly of Wimberly Castle, complete with its marble halls and statues. The legend reached far and wide out onto the campus, and few seniors of 1963, then underclassmen, did not know of this Ma whose dorm and nights are filled with Music til' Dawn. While the Queen of Wimberly Castle, her seniors made her proprietor of Wimberly Girdle F actoryi' and in December, 1962, she moved into her contemporary castle, Mary Gibbs Jones Hall. In the summer of last year she added to her domain, Wimberly Bridge. The Seniors know her now as the best House Demonstrator in the University community, and 'as red coat-clad Ma. This Spritest Lady of them all, displays a motherly interest in the affairs of her Seniors and of the entire campus. No Senior misses her crisp housemeeting agenda and her statement, I'm on my way to C8tD. This year she presented spring and redbuds in her warm moth- erly fashion as she urged Seniors to view the wonder of nature, in the Botanlical Gardens. At Christmastime, Mrs, Wimberlyiv grandchildren were a traditional part of the reception line. They met every guest who came to the dorm. Ma had her station at the Central Pacific Gold Rush Display and was as proud of it as was the Class of '63.
