Newberry Dean

Twenty women who have de

were given special citations
last Thursday for outstanding
service by the National Asso

dean of women at Newberry
College.
To qualify for one of the
special awards, the women
must have spent at least 35
years in the education field,
25 of them in the guidance-
personnel area.
The following biographical
sketch of Miss Lester was
contained in the program of
the 1968 Association Luncheon,
at which the awards were giv
en:
“Hattie Belle Lester has
spent all of her adult life in
the field of education, first as
a public school teacher and
the last 32 years as dean of
women at Newberry College.
Her active participation in ed
ucational and community af
fairs attests to her ability and
the breadth of her interests.
She has served as vice presi
dent of the Anderson County
Education Association, chair
man of the Primary Depart
ment of the Education Assoc
iation, president of the South
Carolina Association of Wom
en Deans and Counselors, pres
ident of the Epsilon Chapter of
Delta Kappa Gamma, presi
dent of the United Daughters
of the Confederacy, president
of the American Revolution.

tion of Women Deans and
Counselors, the National Edu
cation Association, the Assoc
iation for Higher Education,
the Southern College Personnel
Association, the N. wberry Gar
den Club and the Civic League
of Newberry.
“Miss Lester has been a
moving spirit in the growth
and development of. this Luth
eran College and has given
generously of her talents to
the church as well as to the
college. Newberry College re
cently recognized Miss Lester
by presenting the altar vases
in its new chapel in her honor.
“Her dignity and poise, her
dedication to her work, her
understanding, her gracious
ness, her character, have all
set an outstanding example to
the girls she has led as well as
to her colleagues in the S. C.
Association of Women Deans
and Counselors in which she
has been the senior member for
a number of years. It is a priv
ilege to honor this Christian
gentlewoman for her years of
service.
“Miss Lester plans in retire
ment to fulfill some of those
plans that she has not yet had
time to get to. The direction
and breadth of her life will be
manifest in her use of the
years of maturity.”
