has made for herself from a
tiny girl until now in Meredith
College in Raleigh where she
has recently received a noted
honor; that Of being chosen one
among six of the girls chosen
for Who's Who in American Un-
iversities and Colleges.
When just a tiny tot her moth
or, Mrs. Shirley was teaching
kindergarten in n little house
in their back yard. Ella Mae
was the mascot, then she be-
gan making friends. Probably
here she received her founda-
ton for being a friendly and
well loved person with a trea-
surable personality. As ella
Mae grew this personality grew
and into Elementary School she
went lovable and studious lit
tie girl. In the Seventh grade
she was winner Of the Ameri-
can Legion Medal, first in the
list Of her honors. In the year
1945 Ella Mae was a Senior At
Weldon High School and the
Valedictorian Of her class.
The next year Ella Mae en-
tered Meredith College. . little
freshman from Weldon, just
little bit timid. But not for long
for she was elected to the Stu
dent Government Council In her
second year and was reporter
for 1.-THE Twig" for two years.
In 1S47 she was elected Presi-

serves commentator. She has
made these honors herself just

round American girl. A girl
who makes this kind of record
herself without strings to pull
but with a magnetic personality
needs the praise and congrat-
ulations Of her friends and this
we offer to Miss Shirley.
