For Parmley, running is an integral part of her life. Running provides discipline and direction for her other goals and activities. Running in a marathon posed a new challenge and a new set of goals. Klots claims that she has always wanted to run a marathon. She recalls working out twice a day in high school. Her parents encouraged her to wait until she was older. Looking back, she believes that her parents' advice was wise. It takes years for an athlete's body to mature so that it can endure the 26 miles and 385 yards of a marathon.

The participants were divided into two working groups, the smaller of which was slated to build a playhouse at the National Children's Home, a state-supported institution for the care of mentally and physically handicapped children. Some members of this group found the exposure to handicapped children a tough experience, and building a playhouse for them was no simple matter, either. The cement for the foundation came in a truck, but had to be mixed on the ground by the students themselves. They received several frustrating lessons on the differences which exist between the Jamaican concepts of time and promptness and those of their own culture, as they waited hours for materials without which they could not carry on their work. The larger group worked at the Alpha Boys' School, a school owned and operated by the Sisters of Mercy for boys who have been abandoned or who come from families too large to care for them.

Dr. Linda Carol Mayes, C73, summa am laude, was valedicto- rian of the first class at Sewanee to graduate both men and ien. But she knew her way around the Sewanee campus before she applied for admission, having enjoyed three years as a student at the Sewanee Summer Music Center. At Vanderbilt Medical School, she won the Amos Christie Award in pediatrics. She then served her internship and residency at Vanderbilt and stayed on as a fellow in neonatology, 1980-1982. Since 1982, Dr. Mayes has been at Yale University doing clinical pediatric research. As the Elizabeth Mears and House Johnson assistant professor of child development at the Yale Child Study Center, she continues her research involving the atten- tion span and curiosity development of infants. One part of her research focuses on cocaine-addicted infants, from which she has hypothesized that babies bom addicted to cocaine have a much shorter attention span than those whose mothers took no drugs during pregnancy.

Along with her research. Dr. Mayes is a practicing infant psychiatrist She is quoted as saying in a recent article pub- lished in the Yale Review: "Early experience is vastly important, probably in ways that we don't understand yet. In the last decade, we've learned that babies are different. The good news is that if you provide a rich early experience for your baby, ifs probably having an impact. The bad news is that we now have a better idea of all the things that can go wrong."
