Work with Deaf Wins National Award Mrs. Laurie McMillian Tatman, a 1927 graduate of Ouachita, received na­ tional honors earlier this year for her work with the deaf. Totally deaf herself since early child­ hood, Mrs. Tatman was recognized for her accomplishments in a meeting of the Alexander Graham Bell Association last July in San Francisco's Hilton J Hotel. Part of Mrs. Tatman's citation pre­ sented in the Oral Deaf Section of the program reads: "You are an oral deaf adult who best exemplifies achievement in his or her daily life through the use of speech and lip-reading, who has made an outstanding contribution to the advancement of the deaf." The Alexander Graham Bell Associ­ ation has for many years promoted speech and lip-reading for the deaf and for hearing-handicapped children. The Association has emphasized the fact that deafness does not condemn one to a life of silence and dependency. Member of Bell Speaker's Bureau Mrs. Tatman is a member of the Speakers Bureau of the Bell Association and has traveled extensively in the U.S. and Canada to speak at speech and Capt. Edmund B. Scarborough, '65, hearing clinics, schools for the deaf and parent groups. Is Killed in Vietnam Combat Larry Johnson Named "Favorite Male Teacher" One of Ouachita's 1965 distinguished Capt.
