Spring has sprung ... at last! Operator dies after 26 years of service By Kathy Hartnett Johnsonian Staff Writer Pauline (Polly) Childers, known as the Winthrop College switchboard operator for 26 years, died Thursday, March 23 of a stroke. She was 60. Childers was born in 1928 in York County. She began working at Winthrop in 1963 and had the title of Centrex Supervisor at the time of her death. She worked at the information desk as well as the switch- board on the main floor ofTillman Administration Hall. Mary Burn, an administrative assistant at the Winthrop budget office, said because Childers was the operator, hers was often the first voice people heard at Winthrop College. Burn added that Childers was a very pleasant and helpful person who was always interested in all the students. "She was just a loving person," said Betty Jones, secretary for Bill Culp. Jones worked around the corner from Childers in Tillman. Childers is survived by Rexie Martin, daughter; Richie uatcnmg ttMf rsys Photo by David Tur.wr Martin and Krista Martin, grandchildren.
