Georgia State
Medical
Wives Meet
“A thing of beauty is a joy
forever.” That’s how the wives
and children of the Georgia
State Medical Association feel
about the Annual Meeting
which was held at Jekyll
Island, Georgia, June 15-17,
1971 at the Atlantic Carriage
Inn.
The group converged on the
Island by cars, planes and
chartered buses for one of the
largest attended and most
enjoyable conferences for
many, many years.
The Woman’s Auxiliary,
headed by Atlanta’s Mrs. A.M.
Davis, began their meeting
jointly with the Medical
Association and the children
on Tuesday evening. Bernice
Regan, folk singer, thrilled the
group with her renditions
which involved active
participation by all in
attendance.
Following the song-fest, the
state-wide essay contest for
teenagers was held. The young
people wrote on - “The Role of
the Black Physician in the
Community”. The three essays
that were presented were
stimulating and informative.
The participants were Terri
Griffin of Augusta, Jacob
Shirley of Albany and Loretta
Brown of Augusta.
On Wednesday morning, the
business session was held with
Mrs. A.M. Davis presiding.
Committee reports were given
and new business transacted.
Wednesday afternoon was a
period of fun for the ladies.
There was bridge, swimming
and pure relaxation for those
who wanted it. During the
evening, they joined their
husbands for dinner and
dancing in the ballroom of the
Carriage Inn.
On Thursday morning, Mrs.
Davis presided over the
Installation and Awards
Breakfast. This was a breakfast
in pure Southern style with
grits, sausage, bacon, biscuits
and all the trimmings. Mrs.
A. Davis will serve the group
as president for 1971-72.
Assisting her will be Mrs. R.W.
Moore, Savannah
President-elect, Mrs. R.B.
Jackson - Atlanta, Secretary;
Mrs. J.B. Harris - Atlanta,
Treasurer; Mrs. R.S. Weston -
Augusta, Chaplain; and Mrs.
B. Wood - La Grange,
Parliamentarian.
While the men held their
final session during the early
afternoon, the ladies toured
Jekyll, St. Simon and Sea
Islands and enjoyed the
splendor of the palatial homes
and beauty that accompanies
the Atlantic Ocean.
Then finally came the very
enjoyable departing picnic
which featured the best variety
of fresh seafood for the entire
delegation. Some of the group
then began their departure for
home while others lingered on
for another day or weekend of
continued leisure living at the
seashore resort.
The group will meet in June
1972 in Calloway Gardens.

Augusta, Georgia 30904 “
a four-year, state-supported arts and sciences college
Augusta College’s first
pre-fall orientation program for
incoming freshmen appears to
have been a great success,
according to AC Counseling
Director Barbara T. Speerstra.
Dr. Speerstra summed up her
reaction to the June 23
program by simply terming it
“a great day”.
During the orientation
session, more than 100
students-to-be were greeted by
AC President George A.
Christenberry, briefed on
pertinent information and
guided about the campus by
student group leaders, and
assisted by faculty advisors in
working out fall quarter course
schedules.
Later, they were given access
to the college’s Clark Hill
recreation area.
The idea behind the June 23
session and a second one set
for July 21 is to give each new
student more individual
attention by dealing with the
newcomers in smaller groups.
In the past, Dr. Speerstra
said, ail new students were
provided with orientation en
masse on the first day of the
fall quarter. With
approximately 500 new
students expected this fall, she
noted, such an approach would
leave little time for attention
to the problems of individual
students.
The usual fall orientation
program will be held again at
the beginning of the coming
fall quarter, she added, but will
be considerably lessened by the
work accomplished during the
two summer sessions.
The Counseling Director
noted that orientation
programs have a purpose
beyond that of providing new
students with information on
course schedules and
requirements. They’re also
geared to introduce newcomers
to important non-academic
aspects of college life.
“We want them to establish
an early relationship with their
faculty advisors, who will assist
them in planning their
academic work in quarters to
come,” she said, “but we also
want them to become familiar
with such things as student
services and student
involvement in campus
activities.
“We don’t want them to
think that all they’re here for is
going to classes,” she
continued. “They’re here to
get a complete education -- to
participate, to interact, and to
develop leadership skills.”
Dr. Speerstra and her staff
agree that one of the most
successful facets of the June 23
program was the use of
students as guides and
discussion leaders. The
students who undertook these
duties weren’t selected on the
basis of elective offices held,
though some organizations
were among them.
“We looked for students
who were interested in the
kind of program and who
could establish good rapport
with the incoming freshmen,”
Dr. Speerstra said. She added
that most of the students were

recommended for the job by
one another. Some, she said,
have already volunteered for
duty in the July 21 sessions.
Another portion of the
program that met with a good
response was the afternoon
outing at Clark Hill. Those who
attended appeared to have a
great time swimming, boating,
playing shuffleboard and
ping-pong, and getting to know
one another.
Some even asked if they
could return in July for the
Clark Hill segment of the next
orientation program.
Permission, according to Dr.
Speerstra, was granted.
Work has already begun for
the July 21 session, with
invitations already in the mail
to applicants who have been
accepted by the college for the
fall quarter. The counseling
staff is confident of another
successful day.

program seems to have
benefitted everyone: incoming
freshmen got more individual
attention, faculty advisiors
worked under a lighter load
than in past orientation

chalk up a success in its efforts
to give incoming freshmen
students a head start on college
