Already Honorary ( oed
Actual y being a coed is not
an altogether new experience
for Gloria, who likes living oh
campus in Morgan’s Harper
House.
Morgan President Dr. Martin
D. Jenkins made her an “hon¬
orary coed” of the college back
in 1655 when she made her
notable spelling conquests on
television in recognition of the
tremendous skill she displayed.
Moreover. Gloria took courses
at the college during the sum-
men.
Right now she’s going
iirough the normal freshman
orientation period just as the
other new students are doing
and liking everything so far
“very much.”
To Gloria the days of her
i>ol’ing conquests are far be¬
hind but her fans won’t let
her forgot.

According to Suipt. T. J. Mc-
Ilwaine, some have moved to
Maryland and North Carolina
where they are employed
while others remained here and
commute daily. The Rev. L.
Francis Griffin, who is NAACP
coordinator for Prince Edward
County, also backs up the claim
that the Negro teachers have
found employment. In fact, he
said he doubted that there are
more than five or six who have
not found jobs.
Prince Edward was one of the
five counties involved in the
original Supreme Court deseg¬
regation decision.
