Jeanne Fuller Schmidt '42 is a member of Kappa Delta
Sorority, the Oglethorpe Alumni Association, and Ogle-
thorpe Founders' Club. Stephen J. Schmidt '40 is a

Trustee of the College, a board member of the Ogle-
thorpe Booster Club, a member of the Oglethorpe Alumni
Association, and a member of the Oglethorpe Founders'
Club. During his days at Oglethorpe University he was
a pledge of Pi Kappa Phi and one of our football petrels.
Steve, Jr. is currently attending Memphis Southwestern
and daughter, Leslie Schmidt Williams, is teaching 4th
grade in Tallahassee, Florida.

Every Oglethorpe student, alumnus, faculty member and
administrator will admit that Oglethorpe College is unique
and "stands out in some way" over any other experience.
Members of the Oglethorpe community who have been
fortunate enough to share the experience of knowing the
Schmidts' will also agree that there is an ever-lasting
specialness in being associated with these two outstand-
ing Oglethorpe alumni. Recently, in Mr. Schmidt's address
to the Oglethorpe student body and faculty at the Ogle-
thorpe Day convocation, he described the Oglethorpe
spirit.

"This College just did not jiJSt happen. You've got to know
that first of all. There is beyond your comprehension and
mine much hard work, dedication, blood, sweat, tears,
prayers, pride, sacrifices and determination to succeed
that make up the ingredients of Oglethorpe from its first
day until this day. We are still using these qualities. You
are, the faculty is, the trustees are, and everyone con-
nected with Oglethorpe. It has been a real struggle and

Don't just sit around remembering the good 'ole days.
Relive your youth by spending the afternoon on the Ogle-

ATLANTA, GEORGIA we're still in the same spot.

I think there is no better phrase to describe Oglethorpe
than Stormy Petrel."

In turn, this overture describes the Schmidt approach to
life. All Oglethorpe people respect, admire and appreci-
ate the Schmidt Family. Not a year should pass without
publicly saluting and expressing our gratitude to this
family.

Steve recently purchased this

facility at 600 Somerset Terrace,

Atlanta, Georgia. His company,

DIXIE SEAL & STAMP, has moved to

this location.
