The Harding Woman: 1929 and Present

Mrs. Mae Bell DowdyMrs. Dowdy has virtues that the teachers urge Harding girls to cultivate — quietness, modesty and intelligence. More than this, she has met their approval by marrying instead of seeking a business career. She is pleasant at all times.

Danielle Baker does not “tolerate any mess.” This Campus Activities Board secretay with a shining nose stud and hair curled to perfection always knows what is happening on campus first. A McNair Scholar and lover of chocolate brown and teal, Danielle loves the thrill of a good sale. Danielle, who is in Delta Gamma Rhoh, has been a part of the Impact Steering Committee for the past two years. She is an avid reader and also enjoys spending time with her boyfriend and accepts only the best.

Miss Gabriella MarcelliniPresident of the Honors Council, Gabby — as she is known to her friends — is also an executive vice president of the American Studies Institute, secretary for Omicron Delta Kappa and a member of the Multi-Cultural Student Action Committee. With dark glossy curls and an even temper, Gabby is also a jetsetter, having been to 18 countries on five continents. When she is not traveling, she loves to plan events and sing. You can see her getting her “Charleston” on in “Thoroughly Modern Millie.”

Miss Flor RamosTranslated as “Flower Branches,” Flor Ramos is one spicy Walton scholar. Flor spends time working with the Jesus Project, Smiles for Christ, Multi-Cultural Student Action Committee, National Broadcasting Society and Omicron Delta Kappa. Flor loves to eat papusas, a traditional food of El Salvador, and likes the color blue. This service-minded ball of energy knows her way around a camera and can always get you to smile.

Miss Amber RoeFree spirit Amber Roe describes herself as a girl with “stars in my eyes for the next big thing.” You can find her in Midnight Oil writing poetry. Tanned and freckled, Amber doesn’t own a driver’s license but loves to hike. Amber, a member of HUmanity, has a love for singing in the stairwells of the English building. Decidedly forthright, this whimsical girl always wants to learnsomeone else’s story.
