DEDICATION PERSONIFIED
Miss Letha Ray Brock

After graduating in 1917, "Miss Letha" was employed as the College's registrar, a position she held for 41 years. She was a member of nine of the faculty committees and chairman of four other committees. Although not formally involved with the museum, she devoted her life to her alma mater. President Luther Gobbel said of her: "She identified her life completely with that of the College. What affected the College concerned Miss Letha, and nothing was too much or too hard if it contributed to the best interests of G.C. She made G.C. her life."

THE PLANNER
Miss Sarah Lee Brock

Miss Sarah Lee Brock graduated from Greensboro College in 1917 and began teaching in public schools shortly thereafter. In 1967, ten years after retiring from teaching, "Miss Sarah" was appointed chairman of the first museum committee by the Greensboro College Alumni Association. Well known for doing things the right way, Miss Sarah soon began researching museum methodology and investigating external sources of help. She sought help and guidance from many sources, perhaps the most influential being Ms. Myrtle Armfield of the Greensboro Historical Museum. By 1972, Miss Sarah's hearing was failing her, and she stepped down as chairman of the committee. Even so, she continued to be instrumental in the museum's planning and direction.

A DRIVING FORCE
Miss Mary Cathleen Brock

Upon graduating from Greensboro College in 1924, "Miss Mary" was employed as Secretary to the President of the College, a position she held until the mid-1940s. Before retiring in 1969, she also served as the Placement Director and Alumni Secretary. If it can be said that Miss Sarah was the planning force behind the museum, then it can safely be said that Miss Mary was the driving force. A well-known figure on the campus, she used her status as a veritable "institution within an institution" to help raise funds and support for the museum's daily operations. Together with Miss Sarah, Miss Mary was also instrumental in establishing an endowment for the museum in 1977. In describing her work with the College and museum, Miss Mary said: "Happiness is illusive. It does not come through deliberately seeking it, but by losing one's self in a cause bigger than one's self. Happiness is a by-product."
