1964, 1973

Dear Ed:

                After graduating from high school, I earned a Bachelors Degree in Home Economics at  Louisiana Tech.  I married and had a family before pursuing further education.

                In 1964 I earned a Master of Education Degree and in 1973 an Educational Specialist Degree, both issued to Mary Beth Stubblefield Wallis (Beth S. Wallis).  During this time, I obtained certification in Library Science and did further graduate study in Library Science at LSU.

                My first professional association with USL was in 1966 as Assistant Librarian at F.M. Hamilton Training School where I also taught a course in Children’s Literature.  When Maxim Doucet was built, I became Director of the Materials Center and continued to teach Library Science courses.  I went back to Hamilton as Librarian for a time, but returned to the Materials Center where I retired in August 1984.

                I have fond memories of the years at USL in the College of Education.  My association with faculty and students was always pleasant and rewarding.  It was my good fortune to have had the privilege of being a part of the education of our future teachers.

                Congratulations and best wishes in this effort to record some of the history of our fine university.

Sincerely,

Betty S. Wallis
