I entered North Texas at mid-term 1955 and I was required to take a no-credit course called English 100 taught by Dean Imogene Bentley ("The Last Word," winter 2012). I was the only girl in class with most of the freshman football team.

After about two weeks, I got a notice in my post office box to come to the dean of women's office for a conference. At the conference, I was informed that I was "exciting the boys in English class."
