PRESENTING

BENNET1

Jean FranklinEditor

Mr. Charles GarthAdvisor

Bennett College

Greensboro, North Carolina

In words and pictures

here is a review of

the events and

activities of

1 96 1 -'62

Here are the scenes

so familiar

We'll always remember

the countless hours . . .

of study . . .

work . .

or relaxation when we had a few free moments

It begins with Freshman week . . .

When some two hundred students

descend on the campus . . .

to shatter the tranquility which

has lasted since the close of

school . . .

T

Offices come alive with students

registering for courses . . .

Paying bills . .

Meeting their

Advisor . . .

I j

Student leaders get helpful

hints from visiting counselors

on how to make the freshman

feel at home . . .

The new students

get their first

taste of what

is to follow during

the next nine months .

J

The bookstore does

big business in books

and other supplies . . .

Freshman stage

their big talent

show before a

very critical

audience of

Upperclassmen

Always on hand are members

of the Personnel Department

to lend a hand to the

still somewhat

bewildered new students . . .

Roommate meets roommate

And in the weeks

that follow, many

other meetings

take place . . .

Faculty meet students

And in the classroom students meet teacher

New friendships

are formed . . .

\

Others maynot be so

casual . . .

September turns to

October, and soon

things becomeroutine, but there's

always the spice of

numerous events

and activities to

make life interesting

and constantly

busy . . ,

Founders Day . .

The white breakfast

at Thanksgiving time

Daily chapel is another of

these memories to

carry away . . .

And after chapel, onto

the next class . . .

I.

And so it goes, winter to spring .

Study sessions

in the library

.

Little Theatre Productions . .

.

For some June meant departing

It was a year filled with many pleasant experiences,

many interesting and likeable people — the Bennett

family — people we'll never forget.

In keeping with the traditions of Bennett

College, the yearbook staff has compiled a

varied account of Bennett life. Composed of

representatives from the junior class the staff

has attempted to do its best in spite of the

many hours of hard work spent in preparation,

and the anticipations and the unexpected dif-

ficulties that seemed to arise. It is the hope

of all members that this record will prove to

be a constant reminder of the 1961-1962 year

spent at Bennett College.

Editors Note

Perhaps the four years an individual spends in college are the most cherished andimpressive years of his life. Realizing this, the Yearbook Staff has tried to capture

some of the outstanding events of the year and immortalize them in the yearbook.However, in a larger sense, it is difficult-even impossible-to preserve many of

the memorable events of the years because they are intangible. The sisterly atmos-phere which permeated the campus during freshman week, the subtle atmosphere or

anxiety which hovered over the campus during the final exams, and many of the phil-

osophically unsound and logically weak confabs of the dormitory "summits" are mereexamples of college life which successfully eluded the photographer's camera. Never-theless, we have managed to capture a small sample of the events destined to remainwith us forever.

As editor of the Bennett College Yearbook, I have experienced the psychological

and sociological successes and failures which must inevitably be the lot of one whowould assume and execute a delegated responsibility. It is my sincere hope that this

first edition of the Bennett College Yearbook will serve as an index to the earnestness

with which I have attempted to execute this responsibility.

To our predecessors, contemporaries, and posterity, we dedicate this edition of

the Bennett College Yearbook. It is our sincere hope that the efforts which are mademanifest in this book will serve as a source of dedication, inspiration and aspiration

to our readers.
