The group participated in flower arrangement contests, organized social events, held film showings and instructional sessions on different aspects of growing and arranging flowers, and contributed to \"community beautification\" by planting flowers at various locations and participated in community service at local hospitals and nursing homes."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e[identification of item], [box #, folder #], Lanier Garden Club Records, 1955-1989, SC 0115, Special Collections, Carrier Library, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA\u003c/p\u003e  "],"prefercite_tesim":["[identification of item], [box #, folder #], Lanier Garden Club Records, 1955-1989, SC 0115, Special Collections, Carrier Library, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA"],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eIn order to streamline the process of applying collection numbers, Special Collections staff completed a large-scale renumbering campaign in the spring of 2017. \u003cemph render=\"bold\"\u003eThis collection was previously cataloged as SC 2080\u003c/emph\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e  "],"processinfo_heading_ssm":["Processing Information"],"processinfo_tesim":["In order to streamline the process of applying collection numbers, Special Collections staff completed a large-scale renumbering campaign in the spring of 2017.

Lyne enrolled at the State Teachers College in 1936 and graduated in 1940 with a degree in high school education. She participated in many extracurricular activities as a member of the Cotillion Club, the Lee Literary Society, Y. W. C. A., the Lost Chords musical organization, and The Breeze editorial staff as feature editor and editor-in-chief. She served as president of Kappa Delta Pi, an education honor society, and was her freshman class treasurer and sophomore class president.","Rather than enter teaching, Lyne instead worked as an editorial assistant for a monthly trade magazine. Lyne joined the military in 1943 as a member of the first class of SPARS – the Women's Reserve of the Coast Guard created during World War II. SPARS was an acronym of the first letters of the Coast Guard motto and its English translation, Semper Paratus Always Ready. SPARS was deactivated in 1947, at which point Lyne was discharged as a Lieutenant of the United States Coast Guard Reserve. Lyne continued her writing career, working for the U.S. Public Health Service, the United States Information Agency, and the Inter Press Service. Lyne also coauthored Three Years Behind the Mast, a history of SPARS.","Lyne spent most of her adult life in Silver Spring, Maryland before moving to Charlottesville in 1993. She died on August 20, 2001 in Charlottesville and was interred at Elmwood Cemetery in Shepherdstown, West Virginia.","Lyne, Mary C. and Kay Arthur. Three Years Behind the Mast: The Story of The United States Coast Guard SPARS. Washington, 1946.","The Mary Catherine Lyne Papers, 1942-2001, contain photographs, newspaper and magazine clippings, memos, programs, and other personal papers relating to Lyne's time spent in SPARS during World War II. The collection also contains papers compiled by Lyne's niece, Kitty Landess, concerning the Lyne's death in 2001.","Materials related to SPARS events include a program from a 1945 event called \"Mlle Muster for Spars,\" which was likely an event co-sponsored by Mademoiselle magazine and focused on re-acclimating SPARS women to their post-war lives. Accompanying the \"Mlle Muster for Spars\" program is a two-page essay recounting the event. Additional event materials include a program for the play \"Wet Behind the Ears\" by the Naval Reserve Midshipmen's School, a memo from the District Coast Guard Office of New York City regarding uniform regulations, program from SPAR reunion of 1947, a series of ink drawings by Kay Stuurman, and a copy of the \"Spar Song Book\" containing sheet music.","Rounding out the collection of SPARS-related items are 13 black-and-white photographs of SPARS women, including Mary Catherine Lyne, SPARS Director Captain Dorothy C. Stratton, and Henrietta Baker. Of particular interest is a photograph of Lyne sitting at the desk of L. Spencer (presumably Lyndon Spencer) reading a brochure with cigarette in hand. The inscription on the verso reads: \"Mary Catherine Lyne (This is a doctored photo!) Mary is NOT L. Spencer rear admiral.\"","Items compiled by Lyne's niece, Kitty Landess, include a death notice written by Landess and a copy of Lyne's obituary.","The copyright interests in this collection have been transferred to the James Madison University Special Collections Library.

Freeman, SD: Pine Hill Press, 1974.","Anna Pearl Haldeman Stickley (1892-1991) was born to Jacob Shem Haldeman and Anna Metz Haldeman at Evandale, near Winchester, Virginia. She matriculated at the State Normal and Industrial School at Harrisonburg in 1909 and graduated in 1912 after completing the kindergarten training curriculum. During her time at the Harrisonburg Normal School, Pearl was a member of the Pinquet Tennis Club, Senior Basketball Team, Glee Club, Kindergarten Club, Lee Literary Society and YWCA, serving as its secretary from 1911-1912. Pearl married Claude Benjamin Stickley in 1921. She received her M.A. from Columbia University and was a teacher and librarian. She was an active alumni and returned to campus many times after graduation as is documented in this collection. Pearl's sister, Emily Haldeman Beck, and sister-in-law, Marguerite Goodman Haldeman, also graduated from the State Normal School.","The Pearl Haldeman Stickley Papers, 1910-1962 (bulk 1910-1915), document Stickley's time as a student at and alumni of the State Normal and Industrial School for Women at Harrisonburg.","Two scrapbooks, referred to by Pearl as a Memory Book and Good Times Book respectively, include concert and recital programs, theater programs including Shakespeare performances by the Coburn Players, commencement programs, student handbooks, program and report cards, cards and letters, invitations, ticket stubs, napkins, materials related to the Harrisonburg Presbyterian Church, newspaper clippings, and other assorted ephemera. Many of the items are annotated with funny musings by Pearl. Some of the printed ephemera is from Winchester, Pearl's hometown, and likely documents events she attended while visiting friends or family while a student in Harrisonburg and also after she returned home after graduation. Programs from the Fort Loudon Seminary and Empire Theater are included.","Items of interest include a list of senior class privileges dated October 23, 1911, located in the 1910-1912 scrapbook. Additionally, the 1912-1914 scrapbook, which post-dates Pearl's graduation and primarily documents as an alumni, includes a shard of glass from the bottle that was used to christen Dormitory No. 1 in June 1913. This christening was part of the ceremony changing the name of Dormitory No. 1 to Burruss Hall. Julian Burruss objected to the name, asserting that campus buildings should not be named honorifically after a living person, and the dorm was named Jackson Hall in 1918. This same scrapbook includes a program documenting the June 8, 1914 laying of the corner stone for the Student's Building (Harrison Hall). Pearl noted in her scrapbook that the sun was particularly hot that day, but attendees were not allowed to wear hats or hold parasols. Pearl returned to campus in 1915 and, as a representative of the class of 1912, gave her personal reminiscences as part of the June 7 Alumnae Banquet. The banquet program and Pearl's speech are included. Materials related to Pearl's involvement in the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), including her membership card, are also located in the 1912-1914 scrapbook.","A folder of loose ephemera comprises photographs (including a portrait photograph of Pearl Haldeman Stickley), correspondence, event programs, and other sundry ephemera.","Four copies of The Schoolma'am, 1910-1913, were removed and added to Special Collections yearbook holdings.

During her career, Lemmon published extensively on North Carolina history, including books on the state's participation in the War of 1812, World War I and World War II, and on the Pettigrew family of North Carolina. In 1997, Lemmon was the inaugural recipient of the Ronald E. Carrier Alumni Achievement Award which aims to recognize alumni who have demonstrated significant achievements of enduring value to society.","Lemmon's intellectual pursuits were far-reaching and unabated in the face of her advancing age. In 1991, at the age of 77, Lemmon became the first person to earn a degree in art history from Meredith College. After moving from Raleigh to Southern Pines, North Carolina in 1991, Lemmon became very active in the local Episcopal Church, and in 1995, at the age of 81, she was ordained an Episcopal minister. Lemmon passed away on September 28, 2002 at the age of 87. She is buried in Marietta, Georgia at the Saint James Episcopal Cemetery.","The scrapbook was likely initially donated to the JMU Alumni Association.","This collection contains the pages from a single scrapbook constructed by Sarah McCulloh Lemmon in 2001.
