Women had had very responsible posts and took very responsible positions in life. For instance, two of the girls who graduated in my class were totally separated from each other in geography, and so on, but they both, within seven or eight years of graduating from college, became the presidents of banks. They were country banks, to be sure, of which their fathers had been president. It was the same thing as being Secretary of Labor, but on a different level. When Lucy McClary became the head of the bank in Vermont it didn't create any great excitement. It seemed natural. Mr. McClary had been president of the bank. He was getting old. He wanted to retire. Lucy was his daughter and an educated girl. She had been working the bank ever since she got out of college. She knew all branches of it. She became president. She only retired from being president of that bank a few years ago. When she came to our reunion, in giving her life story she said, “I'm doing practically the same thing that I was doing when I got out of college. I work in the bank, but now I work as president emeritus, instead of at the beginning. I have retired from the active presidency of the bank, but I have an office there. I'm emeritus. I'm a member of the board. I still play the same organ in the same Episcopal church. I'm still president of the same Ladies Aid Society that I was when I left college.” In
