Assistant Women's Editor
Appropriately fitting into the
Mother's Weekend theme is one
of the University's music educa
tion students. Mrs. Stanley Stew
art. otherwise known as Carole.
Honors have been bestowed this
personable young student-moth
er during the past year — and
anyone who can manage a Uni
versity course, home, three chil
dren. and a husband, is certain
ly deserving of some honor.
C'AKOLE, who won the Ore
gon division of the Metropolitan
Opera auditions in “lyric sopra
no,’’ is a 29-year-old mother of
three boys: David, 10; John, 8:
Paul, 5. All of the children are
taking piano lessons, and Paul is
also taking tap dancing lessons.
Carole also started her musi
cal career when she was quite
young. She had been taking piano
lessons for several years when,
at the age of 12, she asked her
father if she could take voice les
ions, too. He wasn't quite as ea
ger as she was. but grudgingly
conceded that she could take les
sons if she proved to him that
she had vocal ability by getting
a singing job.
“I PROCEEDED to march
down to a Portland radio sta
tion and to audition for the ‘Stars
of Tomorrow’ program. I got a
job and Dad had to say okay

then,” said Carole. “I was really
an independent little girl.”
“After graduation, my first
paid job as a soloist was sing
ing in a church in Portland. Later
on I became a soloist for wed
dings and funerals.” Carole still
sings as a soloist for Central Lu
thern Church in Eugene.
ASKED when she was mar
ried. Carole replied hesitantly.
"Well. t%vo weeks after gradua
tion.” At the time, neither she
nor her husband planned to at
tend college. After the war, her
husband, Stan, attended night
3chco! under the GI bill. He is
currently employed by Lew Wil
liams selling Chevrolets. After
the stork began delivering pres
ents. Carole decided to go back
to school when her youngest child
was old enough to go to kinder
garten.
Last year she began her school
ing in music education. She has
been taking about 14 or 15 hours
each term and has about a 3.00
accume. Recognition of her out
standing achievement was re
cently made when she was ini
tiated into Mu Phi Epsilon, the
women’s music honorary.
CAROLE’S day begins at 6:30
i.m., when she and the family,
with the exception of David,
pitch in to do all the household
chores. David practices his piano
lessons for an hour in the morn
big. "By 8:30 the housework is
done, and all of us students are
off to school,” commented Ca
Mortar Board Taps 14 Women
By BARBARA CHANTRY
F.mcruld Women’s Editor
It is 3 a.m. Tuesday and still
ness reigns throughout the cam
pus living organizations, save
for the soft pitter-patter of rain
drops on the roof. Suddenly, the
early morning quiet is pervaded
role. "I have classes in the
morning, study in the afternoon,
and spend the evening with the
family. If I need extra study
time. I get up about 4 o'clock
in the morning. I'm just too tired
to study in the evening."
“The weekend before finals,
my parents (Mr. and Mrs. Sheeley
of Portland! take the children
home with them. Mother also
helps me out if I get behind in
housework," noted Carole. "I
couldn't do it without the help
of mother and the family."
Carol doesn't plan to attend
summer school because “I just
have too much fun with the boys
in the summer!" However, begin
ning on Sept. 1, she will spend
two weeks of concentrated opera
study with Richard Bonilli of the
Metropolitan Opera. This honor
can e us a result of her opera au
dition. .
Carole plans to teach music,
but she doesn't know whether
she will give private lessons or
be a public school or college
uistructor. At any rate, she says
hat she will have to take many
lifferent languages — especially
Latin, Suanish, Italian, German,
and French so she will be able
to sing opera scores. "I’ll prob
ably be here for years to come,"
she explained.
Her smallest son, Paul, was
with her during the interview.!
When he was asked if he thought
his mommy's singing was pretty |
good, he replied with a long,
diawn-out “Ye-eh!"

by soft, subdued voices and light
foot falls. First candles, then
black robes, mortar boards, and
illuminated faces are seen, as
one by one the girls are roused
from their slumbers. "What Is
it?" "Where am I?" "What's
going on?” are heard among the
whlsjcrs of the half-awakened
girls. Ami then are heard the
words. "Mortar Board taps . . ."
and the girls realize that they
are not dreaming or in heaven,
but that they are witnessing the
