Announcing her impending re-
tiremsnt from the East Cleveland
Board, of Education at the expira-
ticn of her present term on Janu-
ary 1st is Mrs. Clyde S. Morgan
who can count twenty-four years
of continuous service as a board
member to her credit.
Mrs. Morgan's intention not to
seek reelection on the fall ballot
stems from purely personal
reasons, her desire to spend more
frequent and prolonged vacation
travel periods with her husband.
Satisfaction has been great in
being a part of the educational
picture here" she stated today,
when mention was made of her in
tensive and extensive devotion to
local school problems.
Not only has she been concerned
with the educational governing
body, but she also has been con-
cerned about the system from a
widely diversified PTA standpoint.
Among many offices held during
the period her son and daughter
were gaining their schooling, she
was president of both Caledonia
PTA and East Cleveland Council
Of PTA's.
She widened her interests to in
clude membership on the East
Cleveland YWCA Board of Man
agement, served on the executive
board of Community Council, and
for three years has been head of
the financial committee of the Col
lege Club.
Mrs. Morgan was first elected
to the Board of Education in 1884.
At the death of Board president,
Ben Wickham, she was chosen to
complete his term of office and
then was elected elected to serve
another full term in the same
capacity.
She and her husband have lived
here since they were married 81
years ago. They reside at 1882

One citizen Of our town remarks
in passing that, in his opinion,

worst litter offenders in town.
Discarded gum wrappers, empty

His suggestion: re-evaluation
of their attitude, realization that
a cliff-dweller has as much pride
and responsibility in the cleanli-
ness of our city as the private

Former CaId,UeH Girl Serving As
Resident Counselor to 375 Students

The only woman in a mems
dormitory and thus mother to
some 375 Ohio University men
students is Peggy McGregor
Williams, of Caldwell, accord
ing to Mari Lyn Swanton, fea-
ture writer, Ohio University.
The daughter of DR.. and Mrs.
A. C. McGregor, the 21-year-old
senior home economics major is
spending her second year as an
OU dormitory housemother for
men, many of whom are older
than she and further along in
their studies. Her husband, Don,
is actually the resident counselor
at Washington Hall and thus the
administrative and counseling
head of the dormitory, but
Peggy's job is nearly as complex.
The fellows drop into Peggy
and Don's apartment by the
dozen daily to talk to Peggy
about things with which Don
couldn't help them.
Il use my Emily Post etiquette
book all the time. The fellows
are also always requesting pro-
verbs, poetry, needles and thread
and advice on girls" Peggy COM
ments.
Don says actually though most
of the fellows think of Peggy
and him as team" They
rarely want to see one or the
other, but both together.
The Ohio University admins
tration feels that woman living
in the mems dormitories lends
little tone" Peggy says it
does too. Fellows watch their
table manners, speech and dress
closer. They're always sort of
ready for me to walk through
the lounge" she comments.
Don, who is from Cambridge,
and Peggy attempt to meet the
parents of all the fellows when
they first move into the dormi-
tory. ''They feel better about
leaving their children at a col
lege when they know the resi-
dent counselors," Peggy says.
Letters arrive often from the
many friends the couple has
made among the students and
parents. It's one of the big en-
joyments of the job for Peggy.
Another enjoyment for the
Williams has been the number of
famous personalities they've met
through their job. Washington
Hall is used as a guest house for
visitors. They've entertained such
groups as the Navy Band and
Benny Goodman's band.
Although Benny Goodman
was one of Peggy's favorite
