shall in Washington, and
worked in the Navy Depart
ment and the Department of
Archives and History in
Atlanta. In addition, she
modeled in Washington,
Hilton Head, S. C., and
Atlanta.
But. now she’s more
content than ever because
she believes attending school
has always been her main
desire.
Yet, the foremost reason
for Mrs. Schairer’s returning
to college, and specifically to
Clayton Junior College, is her
grandchildren. “I have three
grandchildren here at the
school," she said, “and I
wanted to be able to relate to
them. But they’re growing
beyond me."
Mark, Dian. , and Faye
Glasco are enrolled this
quarter at CJC and Faye has
a music course with her
grandmother. Mark is an
undecided major, Dian a
journalism major, and Faye
is studying in psychology.
Not having decided upon a
major herself, Mrs. Schairer
said she loves it at CJC and
wants to be at the college
with her grandchildren in
case they need her. “Of
course they haven’t yet --
they don't depend upon me,”
she concluded.
. There have been seven
members of the Schairer
family to study at Clayton

campus in Morrow, every
thing was just so beautiful. I
knew this was another
Garden of Eden!”
