From the desk of Linda May Shields of the Class of 1963:
She flopped on my bed and began talking about Viola's policy of taking new girls out for a cigarette their first week at School. She explained it was just Viola's way of getting to know them and making them feel at home. You see, some of them were terribly nervous and needed a cigarette to relax. So off I went to St. Margaret's Hall. There was Miss Woolfolk sitting at that large desk with the sun streaming in behind her. I waltzed in and announced I was ready for my cigarette ride. She asked me to come in and have a seat on that sofa with which I would become quite familiar as time went on. I repeated my request. She asked who told me of the cigarette
policy; I told her. She never flinched. She told me to go back to my room and wait for her. As soon as she finished her work she would call and we could take our ride.
