This Freshman Believes It's Never Too Late, Period
"It's never too late to start studying. Not for finals, but it's never too late, period."
Mrs. Bessie Callahan, a College freshman at 50, said that Tuesday
"I started at the University with the intention of getting a 60-hour certificate so that I could continue to teach in the grade schools," Mrs. Ccellahm, said, "but now I'm stay- ing until I get my degree."
Mrs. Callahan, a widow, taught from the first to sixth grade for a year in a Lawrence rural school before starting her college career this semester. She is the mother of Jean, 22, a sophomore in the School of Fine Arts; Caroleen, 17, a senior in the university high school, and John, 24, a freshman in the School of Law
Mrs. Callahan found her study methods a little rusty after being away from school for more than 30 years.
"Although at the start of the semester I was where I was when I got out of Independence high school, new I'm back in the groove making grades as good as my children."
Mrs. Callahan sees a great change in the students of today as compared
