Former Early County Lady
Graduates With High Honors
Early county friends will be in
terested in learning of the recent
graduation of Mrs. G. C. Spillers, of
Tulsa, Okla., from the University of
Tulsa, with high honors. Mrs. Spill
ers, who will be remembered here
as Miss Lorena Martin, graduated
from the Georgia State Teachers Col
lege at Athens with a diploma in
1909—twenty-one years ago.
Since that time she has married
and is now the mother of three
children, and the wife of a very
successful attorney, with a beauti
ful home and social duties. Not
withstanding this, she was anxious
to continue her search for knowledge
and to receive her degree. This she
did, graduating with high honors.
Mrs. Spillers plans to begin work
on her Master’s Degree at the Uni
versity of lowa this summer. It will
take three summers to complete the
work for the Master’s Degree.
The Phi Gamma Kappa, honorary
scholastic fraternity, to which she
has been elected to membership, ex
pects to be a Phi Beta Kappa chap
ter sometime—the national honorary
scholarship fraternity. Her husband
is a member of Phi Beta Kappa from
the University of Georgia.
Mrs., Spillers comes from one of
Early county’s old substantial fam
ilies, and has many friends and rela
tives here who always welcome her
periodical visits back home, and
who will learn with interest that
she continues to make her way in
the realm of education.
Little Joan: Daddy, I don’t think
mother knows much about raising
children.
Daddy: What makes you say that?
Little Joan: Well, she makes me
go to bed when I’m wide awake and,
she makes me get up when I am aw
fully sleepy.—Exchange.
