CAROL WHITER specialist that has Ingenuity, thoroughness and restlessness have made Carol E. in his field. As general manager of Unto These Hills, he has si won wide recognition. Traffic direction, public transportation, parking, signs, tickets, seating"^*range- ments, reservations, concessions, comfort stations—all these are in his spnBre of operation. South Carolina born, he started theatre work at sixteen in his hometown of Spartanburg, substituting for an usher "to see what it looks like while the show was going on." By working-age he was all-round man for a Hendersonville, N. C, theatre. He opened the first drive-in theatre in South Carolina, at Columbia, and converted Hendersonville High School auditorium into a movie house after a disastrous fire. After a term in the Navy he settled in Hendersonville, working out of there on assignments in the Wilby-Kincey Theatre Corporation chain. Mr. White was loaned by the Wilby-Kincey Corporation to the Cherokee Historical Association in 1950 to "put the professional touch to Mountainside Theatre—to make the home of the Cherokee Drama a vacation-comforted playhouse." He accomplished that assignment with such success that the Cherokee Historical Association induced him to stay on, sought and obtained an extension of leave for him from his company. Then in the fall of 1951 he severed his ties with Wilby-Kincey and went on a permanent basis with the Cherokee Historical Association as general manager of Unto These Hills and all other association projects. Always uppermost in his mind is the thought of the patron who comes to Mountainside Theatre. Under his direction, an information staff has been set up to aid the traveling public that stops in Cherokee. Another of his ideas is a guide service, opening up the back reaches of the reservation for the first time to visitors. He is married and has five children. JOHN PARRIS, Director of Public Relations Few white men know the Cherokee, their history, legends and lore, as does the director of public relations of the Cherokee Historical Associations. For John I'm iris grew up on the knee of a Cherokee chief, the late beloved Sampson Owl, from whose lips he first heard the history of the proud race. Born in 1911 in Sylva, N. C, a mountain town near the Cherokee Indian reservation, he attended school there. At thirteen he began working on the old local weekly, The Jackson County Journal. In 1934 he joined the United Press as the youngest capitol correspondent in Raleigh, N. C, became a bylined feature writer in the New York UP Bureau, resigned to become roving correspondent for the Winston-Salem (N.C.) Journal-Sentinel, two years later rejoined the UP in Memphis, Tenn., then returned to New York as assistant night cable editor before going to London in March, 1941. Sent to London in 1941 by the United Press, Mr. Parris covered the diplomatic run there until 1944—taking time out for the invasion of North Africa, where he landed with the GI's at Arzew. He made the governments in exile a specialty while in London and through contacts was able to maintain news channels from the most strictly policed areas of Europe. In 1944 he began a new assignment in London as diplomatic correspondent for the Associated Press, holding that post until May 1946', when he was transferred to New York to cover the United Nations. For his work with the Belgian underground during the war he was decorated with the coveted Chevalier of the Order of Leopold II. Mr. Parris left the Associated Press in 1947 to devote his future to creative writing, lie co-authored Springboard to Berlin, and Deadline Delayed. He is the author of The Cherokee Story, and the recent best-seller, Roaming the Mountains. His work is included in A Treasury of Southern Folklore. He is Consultant and Adviser to the Asheville Chamber of Commerce and conducts a column for The Asheville Citizen-Times, His wife is the former Dorothy Luxton Klenk, artist-designer of New York and Topeka, Kansas. ■ Fifteen

This 42-page scrapbook was put together by Levern Hamlin, a Roanoke, Virginia native who moved to Cullowhee, North Carolina in 1957 to attend Western Carolina College. Levern Hamlin was not only the first African American to attend Western Carolina College but the first African American admitted to a North Carolina state college. As a speech therapist practicing in Charlotte, North Carolina, Hamlin decided to further her training in special education through the college’s graduate division. The scrapbook begins with Hamlin’s account of her arrival at WCC on June 11, 1957 and includes numerous clippings describing the significance of her enrollment. The scrapbook contains entries from her summer semester at WCC extending to July 20th, 1957 when she arrived back at her home in Virginia. Hamlin had previously attained a Bachelor of Science degree in education from Virginia’s Hampton Institute in 1956. Also included are pamphlets and clippings at the end of the scrapbook.
