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. 5 y ©allege 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 ■Register H I H Vote H EALY'S TEXACO SERVICE Tires, Tubes, Batteries, Accessories, Brake Repair Road Service 2625 Deansbridge Rd. Ph. 798-9195 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. Overall, the June 23 IMHH< SEW ■l V 4 ' 'll T JAMES "KING OF SOUL" BROWN | I President of i (JAMES BROWNi {ENTERPRISES!
