Starnes Gets Degree At 63 Will Continue To Study Always Interested In Art; Especially Water Coloring And Designing Martha McCrory Starnes entered the University of South Carolina as an art student at the age of sixty. All her life she had wanted to become a painter. In 1933, when she was 63, she received a certificate in art. ller work has been said, by visiting artists as well as her teachers, to show remarkable talent. While at the University, she received a number of A's-on her paintings. She specializes in designing and water color paintings and shows a great deal of originality and imagination. Mrs. Starnes tells us that she had been a nurse for some time and had run a store in the country near Winnsboro, therefore, she had had no opportunity before to receive that training she needed. After the death of her husband, she sold several stores which she owned and entered the University. Before entering, she had no knowledge of materials and technique, but she had done a few paintings at home. Complimentary remarks of friends and strangers who had seen her paintings influenced her to study. ''The boys and girls and the teachers were lovely to me. One day I told them it was my birthday. They started to sing to me. When I told them I was 00, they were too surprised to finish the song," says Mrs. Starnes. She is very enthusiastic about her work and, as for the future she says, "I just want to paint and design." Next year she will take more work at the art department of the University. u. 8. o.

The meeting was presided over by Claude A. Taylor, prominent Spartanburg Attorney, and a member of the Alumni Council. Barney A. Early, Secretary of the Alumni Association, in a short talk, stated the purpose of the meetings of alumni being staged over the state during the winter months. These meetings are primarily to get the alumni together in social gatherings so that they may know each other and to hear from representatives of the University, and, in this way, bring together the alumni and the University in a closer bond. After hearing from Mr. Early, Chairman Taylor introduced Doctor L. T. Baker, President of the University, who gave an interesting talk on different phases of University life, both past and present, and explained what the University alumni could do to help their Alma Mater in the future. Chairman Taylor then introduced all of those present by having them stand, and included the basketball team, which was present in charge of Coach Norman. The basketball team was introduced first as they had to leave to play a game with Wofford College at the Wofford Campus. The alumni were enthusiastic over the basketball team and its great record and all, who attended the game, later on in the evening were very much pleased with the play of the Gamecocks. !; The Gamecocks are Gj II COLUMBIA DAIRIES M i; Phone 3171 //e t 2h9 Mr* / out the nearest thing to a pouch that i package could be?it keep the tobacco the way yo\ want it.

The portrait is a great deal more than picture of Prof. Snowden. It shows e forceful lines of his face, the sentive mouth, the heavy eyebrows that rershadowed the kindly eyes, eyes that ok long at books and found there much teach the youth in his class room. One side of the face has been lighted ith a cold light and the other catches e warmth and his white hair adds dislction to an already noble face.
