COEDS' CORNER
'College Was Same In 20's,' K.U.'s Coed Grandmother Says
Mrs. George Mendenhall, mother of five, grandmother of two, is back in college after 26 years and pleased with the situation. "I've tried everything from a capella choir last summer to square dancing this semester. Recently, I had the fascinating experience of being a Russian delegate to the mock U.N. conference.
"My interests have always been with people; after I am graduated this spring I want to work directly with them in the Social Science field," she said. "Just exactly what I'll do is a question. The psychologists say to set a new goal—that's a good trick, but goals can be pretty limited."
In coming back to college, Mrs. Mendenhall wanted to find out if college people had changed.
"Human nature's the same," she declared. "It's the old game of catching and getting caught. Kids will be kids whether it's the 1920's or the 1940's."
Mrs. Mendenhall, a dark-haired woman with a friendly smile, doesn't have that Grandmother "look" at all.
Her previous college training was at Randolph college in 1920. After the sophomore year, she moved to western Kansas to teach at Gove High school. The last day of school was not only the end of a school year for her, it was her wedding day
"My husband and I moved to a ranch near Gove," she related, "Our business was cattle—branded with an 'X-Bar.'"
The Mendenhalls ranched for 15 years during which time, five children were born. Busy at home, Mrs.
Mendenhall found time for community activities - Y.W.C.A., P.T.A. clubs, and politics.
The family then moved to Belleville where Mrs. Mendenhall was substitute school teacher.
"We stayed at Belleville 10 years," she relates. "By this time, my children were grown. Three daughters were married; my eldest son had received his degree in engineering at Kansas State. Another son was killed in action in the navy. When my youngest, Joe, joined the air corps, the bottom sort of dropped out of things. My children were gone; my husband was gone a good deal of the time too. He is inspector in the department of internal revenue of the state which means being on the road week days.
shower of white satin ribbons.
"I had always been so busy, but all at once I had nothing to do. I remembered that I had never finished college and decided to do so—and here I am. My husband visits me over week-ends when he's not on the road. Joe, our son, has come to the University to major in physical education. We have an apartment together which is grand, and I have a future to look forward to in Social Science."
The couple motored to Chicago and will go on to Philadelphia, where they will make their home. The bride, a graduate of the University, was a member of Alpha Chi Omega social sorority and Phi Alpha Theta honorary fraternity. The bridegroom is a senior at Franklin and Marshall college, Lancaster Pa.
