High Point College Mrs. McMeekin Kerr Transforms Dorm Life
Mrs. James McMeekin Kerr, house mother of McCulloch Hall at High Point College, brought discipline and order to the 250 male residents since last September. She inspected rooms weekly, used the Dormitory Council, and even removed a television to curb disruptions. During Christmas, she kept the dorm open and hosted 13 students with meals in a rented fridge, earning student approval as “Mrs Mac.”
