Scope and Contents
Oral history conducted for the 100 Years of Coeducation commemoration. Sallie McBride arrived at William & Mary in 1945. During her time at William & Mary, she participated in Spanish Club, German Club, Pi Beta Phi, the Student Association, and YMCA. She also participated in intramural basketball. After earning her Bachelor of Arts in Spanish, McBride joined Pan American as a stewardess, flying throughout Latin and South America. She later became a travel consultant for Aardvark. In her interview, McBride recalls knowing from a young age that she wanted to be a stewardess for Pan American, leading her to pursue a degree in Spanish from William & Mary. She shares memories of dancing and dating and working over the summer at Yellowstone National Park, where she met her would-be husband. Dean of Women, Grace Landrum, stands out in her mind as someone who was exceptionally helpful as a resource. Though she enjoyed her time at William & Mary, when asked about her favorite memory to look back on, McBride replies, “Graduation.”
