The Rlumnae and Former Students Rssociation, Inc. OFFICERS Mrs. John Dickinson (Lula Martin McIver) President Mrs. W. L. Lambert (Julia Ross) Vice-President Laura H. Coit Honorary President Clara B. Byrd Executive Secretary BOARD OF TRUSTEES Anne Albright, Emily S. Austin, Mrs. Herbert Bluethenthal (Janet Weil), Gertrude Carraway, Mrs. J. L. Henderson (Moffitte Sinclair), Mrs. Richard Hogue (Caroline Goforth) , Mrs. P. P. McCain (Sadie McBrayer) , Mrs. Floyd Moore (Ethel Wells), Mrs. C. E. Stevens (Carrie Tabor), Mrs. Albert Wirth nil (Nettie Parket). I L hile we are students at W. C, we think more often about the Alumnae House than we do about the Alumnae Association. There are only a few of us who haven ' t, at one time or another, wondered what it would be like to slip in some night and sleep in one of those wonderful beds. After graduation our point of view changes, and the Alumnae Association means more to us as it has become our main link with the college and the girls we knew there. The Alumnae Association has a many-sided program which may be divided into these general classifications: The Alumnae House, which is not only headquarters for alumnae work but is the home of three student publications — Pine Needles, Carolinian, and Coraddi — and of the Student Government Association; the alumnae office; the Alumnae Magazine; Alumnae Day; alumnae homecoming; class reunions; the Alumnae Council; the fifty-six local alumnae clubs and associations; following up the thousands of alumnae and former students, their occupations and activities, their changing names and addresses; seminars; hospitality and entertainment; scholarships; and aid with the legislative program.
