SPELMAN if I ffi^OTLIGHT The Voice of African-American Womanhood VOLUME XXXVI - NO. 2 OCTOBER 15, 1992 Spelman Ranked #1 in Southeast By Riche Daniel On Tuesday, Sept. 22, Spelman celebrated her status as the #1 liberal arts college in the south as reported by ’U.S. News and World Report.’ The celebration brought current students, recent alumna, former alumna, Morehouse students, faculty, staff, and friends of Spelman College. Ms. Reta Vann Robinson - Barret, ’71, spoke of how glad she was to be a part of what she knew to be the celebration for a school most deserving. She summed up her sentiments by singing "Wind Beneath My Wings," in which she let everyone know that a great deal of her success she owed to Spelman College. B TT Dr. Beverly Guy - Sheftall also spoke, being a faculty member and alumna herself, about how great an impact Spelman has had and will continue to have in her life. There was a large assortment of good Southern cooking. And it was nice to see faculty members such as Academic Dean Freddye Hill serving ice cream. As everyone ate and got their fill of fried chicken, potato salad, cole slaw, hamburgers, and the Ojeda Pann Experience, a local jazz group performed. Sister President, Dr. Johnnetta B. Cole, stepped up to the podium and made it very clear that Spelman had R! just begun. "The Best Simply Gets Better" was her sentiment, while she assured us that our work would continue. 'Die most beautiful aspect of the celebration was when each and every student, alumna, faculty member, and friend stood up together, joined hands and sang..."Spelman thy name we praise...we’ll ever faithful be throughout eternity." Pride is what the Spelman woman has. Pride in herself, pride in her school, pride in her sisters. When she 'leaves Spelman’s gates she .never forgets that Spelman, the school, the woman, the friend, is the "Wind Beneath Her Wings."
