An Aicl to Form Ties With Staclents of Other Lancls . . DONNA YVCNNE MARTIN Arroyo del Valle Livermore, California Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics Born in Los Angeles, California, Donna went to school in that area until she had completed two years of college at the Col- lege of the Holy Names. She laid aside her college books in 1953, and donned the uni- form of the U. S. Navy, where she studied and practiced photography. After a four- year stay, during which time she fell in love with Corpus Christi and the entire state of Texas, Donna enrolled in 1957 at the Texas A Sr I College, Kingsville. In the summer of 1958 she was introduced to I.W.C. and courses in higher mathematics. So although Donna has spent only her sen- ior year with us, she is a fully-fledged mem- ber of the graduating class. The future is drawing her back to sunny California and her life work - the following of Christ as a member of a religious community. Donna Yvonne Martin Elda A. Maase ELDA A. MAASE 143 Tipperary San Antonio, Texas Telephone: LE 4-6307 Bachelor of Arts in English As wife of an Air Force officer, Elda has covered in travel many countries of the world. She lived in Germany and toured the Netherlands, Luxem- burg, Belgium, the British Isles, the Scandinavian countries, France, Spain, Austria, and Italy. I-Ier youngest child, Karen, aged 2, was born in Germany. She has two older children, David, 11, and Philip, 7, and she considers her life with them as the most interesting experience any woman could hope to have. Pennsylvania-born Mrs. Maase has come to love Texas, and after completing her degree requirements, would love to teach in secondary school in S-an Antonio. From her de- scription of her life with her children, we feel that Mrs. Maase could out- write Mrs. Jean Kerr in recording her experiences. MARY ANGELA MARTINEZ 1602 W. Craig Place San Antonio, Texas Telephone: PE 2-2732 Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education Mary Angela has always impressed us with her calm stateliness. Efficient and poised, she is the picture of what any- one would expect from the ideal teacher. With summer work thrown in, Mary A. completed degree require- ments in three and one-half years, and immediately began her career in the public schools of San Antonio. She is one of the charter members of the Student Education Association and helped to establish the organization on campus. The International Relations Club was also one of her favorite ac- tivities. What we never did discover, however, was whether she was a demo- crat or republican. What we do know is this: she is a person of great re- sponsibility who will always see a task through to completion. Mary Angela Martinez

Summer Study Abroad, Combining Travel With Study Dorothy 1-leyland DOROTHY HEYLAND P.O. Box 1136, Legion Branch Kerrville, Texas Bachelor of Science in Nursing Mrs. Heyland commutes from Kerr- ville for her college work, and has done a remarkably good job in com- bining the three roles of wife and mother, student, and professional nurse. At the present time Mrs. Heyland is a supervisor at the VA Hospital in Kerrville. She served in the Army Nurse Corps from 1943 to 1946, and was decorated with the Bronze Star for meritorious service in Manila in 1945. We congratulate Mrs. Heyland on this great honor which shows her true worth as a patriotic nurse in the service of her country. Mrs. Heyland belongs to the Professional Nurses' Club, the Texas Graduate Nurses' As- sociation, and the National League for Nursing. It has been a pleasure hav- ing Mrs. Heyland as a fellow senior, we wish her the best of everything. VELMA RODGERS 4641 Evergreen Port Arthur, Texas Bachelor of Science in Nursing Mrs. Rodgers completed her degree re- quirements in the early fall, following her public health field experience. A very conscientious nurse, and a person of great responsibility in any field, Mrs. Rodgers has been a respected student throughout her college life here at 1.W.C. She received her nurse training in the state of Louisiana, and attended College at Lamar Technological College before enrolling at 1.W.C. We were sorry that she could not have been with us this last year, but know that she was with us in spirit. We wish you the best of luck in your future under- takings, and know you will be success- ful. Velma Rodgers 4 Sylvia Verduzco SYLVIA VERDUZCO 605 S. Missouri Mercedes, Texas Telephone: LO 5-1345 Bachelor of Science in Physical Education By the time the yearbook comes from press, Sylvia will have changed her last name to Cantu, and will be living in a large white house in the shadow of the beautiful San Juan Shrine. We Wish you every happi- ness, Sylvia, and hope to see you back for a visit to your Alma Mater. Sylvia has been presented at the Black and White Ball as a Princess from the Rio Grande Valley. Although of a very quiet disposi- tion, she had her share of fun, and was often the center of an exciting movement. She showed a lively imagination for clever schemes and an abounding verve to see them through.

W e Have Experienced the U psurge of Interest anal Marguerite Lara MARGUERITE ELIZABETH LARA 824- Nolan Street San Antonio, Texas Telephone: CA 7-7836 Bachelor of Science in Physical Education A person of true refinement and self- sacrifice is what we have found Mar- guerite to be. Ever ready to help others, and to place herself last, Mar- guerite has made herself available for help to all who neede dit. She plans to enter the teaching profession or work in a recreation center. She has a great desire to work with handi- capped children, which is just another indication of her generous nature. Mar- guerite counts among her most interest- ing experiences the fact of attending lncarnate Word College. To her, we say that it has been a. privilege to have had her among our seniors. We wish her the best of everything in her future. CONNIE LUBY 14-62 Cape Cod Dallas, Texas Telephone: FR 1-1091 Bachelor of Arts in Business Connie is the last of the four Luby sisters to attend Incarnate Word Col- lege. When she completed her work in January, and left with her parents for her home town, Dallas, it seemed that something, or some spirit had gone from the campus. lt is only natural that we should feel a sense of loss when the last member of a family of four girls would have gone, as it were, forever. Connie has her future all mapped out - it will be a position in Dallas for a short while, then mar- riage to a dental student, and residence in Houston, TEMPORARILY. Although Connie has lived in various cities of the U. S., Dallas has become such a part of her world that she wishes to make it her permanent spot. We wish you happiness galore, Connie. Connie Luby Elvi Lou Guerra Leeper ELVI LOU CUERRA LEEPER 278 Cromwell Drive San Antonio, Texas Telephone: PE 3-0759 Bachelor of Music in Music Education Elvi Lou interrupted a promising music career to become Mrs. 'Harry Leeper, and the mother of four wonderful children. With her oldest daughter in high school, and the youngest boy fully occupied in elementary school, Elvi Lou decided to return to school and finish that one se- mester she was lacking when she laid aside her harp and music scores for the sweeter melodies of wifehood and motherhood. Elvi Lou is a true Texan, she spent three years in Nebraska, and three more in Colorado which she thoroughly enjoyed. But now she is glad to be HOME in Texas. When asked whether she planned to teach after receiv- ing her degree, Elvi Lou said that she has always had the secret desire to teach harp lessons. Pleasant melodies, Elvi Lou.
