A CELEBRATION OF 103 YEARS OF UNITY
Mothers Honored At
Mother-Daughter Banquet
by Carolyn Grant
Mothers are special and they
deserve to be honored even if it’s
not Mother’s Day. This was the
prevailing attitude of students
who invited their mothers to
Spelman’s mother/ daughter
weekend. Mothers who attend
ed were honored by their
daughter banquet held on Satur
day evening, April 7. Each
daughter presented to her
mother a white carnation laced
with a blue ribbon during the
program which took place in the
Sisters Chapel.
For three mothers, there was
more than a carnation. They
were also presented plaques
declaring them to be mothers of
the year. These awards were the
results of an essay contest that
the students were allowed to
participate in. In the essay the
student had to tell why she felt
her mother should be selected
mother of the year.
The winning essays were
written by Sheree Butler, Cheryl
Lewis, and Eugenia Copeland.
Shereee Butler, a junior com
puter science major from Kin-
sale, Virginia, said she was very
pleased and glad that her mother
was selected to be mother of the
year. FHer mother, Mrs. Melanie
Hall, received the first place
award. “She was real surprised
and very proud and happy to be
selected,’’ said Sheree. Wanting
very much for her mother to be
rewarded, Sheree said this was
her way of paying gratitude to
her mother for the sacrifices she
has made. “My mother has
sacrificed so much for me. She
has put off so many things that
she has wanted to do for a long
time. Now she is free to do those
things,” she stated.

Sheree said her mother is a
friend to her as well as a mother.
As a friend and mother, Mrs. Hall
has shared many qualities and
skills with her daughter. One of
the qualities Sheree feels her
mother hasgiven herthatwill aid
her in becoming a successful
Black woman is that of presen
ting a good image of herself.
“She has always taught me to
present a good image of myself
and to be kind and courteous to
others. You never know who you
are going to need in the future
and what others will say about
you she always tells me,” said
Sheree.
The third place award was
presented to Mrs. Dorothy
Copeland of Ann Arbor,
Michigan, the mother of Eugenia
Copeland. Eugenia, a senior
majoring in electrical engineer
ing and math, said she was very
surprised and happy that her
mother was selected. “My
mother was surprised and happy
also," said Eugenia. Remarking
that she deserved the award,
Eugenia said her mother has
demonstrated very unique
qualities, especially in raising her
nine children.
Of those unique qualities that
her mother has demonstrated,
Eugenia said the qualities that
her mother has given her that
she feels will aid her in becoming
a successful Black woman are
wisdom, self-endurance to
succeed, self-respect, pride, and
confidence.
Mrs. Gloria Lewis of Nashville,

the second place award. Her
daughter, Cheryl Lewis, was
