Emily Gray Wins $500 Prize at
State College and Plans Leng
Trip
Will Combine Missionary and
Agricultural Teachings In
Orient
"I wouldn't make them listen te mc
talk without showing them what I could
,le," sfild Miss Emily Ashton Gray when
nsked why, ns n student of Agriculture,
he plans te de missionary work In
InM?ss Gray, of 3724 North Tenth
street, who Is In her senior year at the
Agricultural Scheel at Pcnn State Col
lege, has been awarded a prlze of $500
by the Dairy and Husbandry Depart
ment. The prlze was given for pro
ficiency In agricultural work, nnd will
enable Miss Gray te carry out her am-
Twe years age this nnd slmllnr schol
arships were established by P. M.
Sharpies, of West Chester, In ten State
agricultural colleges, te train women for
dairy work.
Slnce the award Emily Gray ha as
siduously been studying cows nnd their
care.
"I've been milking them for the last
few weeks, although we really don't
have te de that," said Miss Gray.
She leeks like a very modern and
efficient milkmaid, with her short, bob
bed hair and blue-cray eyes.
"If 1 go te India, it will be much
easier te take care of my hair If it is
aert," she explained.
The dream of going te India is nn
old one, Miss Gray says. After she
-raduatcd from the Gcrmantewn High
Scheel in 1018, She went te State Col
lege. The young student had always
wanted te de missionary work, and her
connection with the Student Volunteer
Movement at State College further
heightened this desire. She explained
that the women in India de the large
part of the agricultural work, and,
thcrcfore, she believes the best way te
reach these less fortunate women is en
the ground they knew best.
"The only way te de missionary
'work.'' she says, "Is te be of the people
and llve and work with them."
Before attempting te realize her am
bition of going te India, there will have
te be mere years of study, and perhaps
n short time spent in teaching dairy
work and husbandry here in the United
States.
An all-round girl is Miss Gray, nnd
in spite of her joy at receiving the
Sharpies prize of $500, she icmarkcd
that "I am proudest of nil almost of
having madq the hockey varsity team."
