FRIENDS HONOR HOSKINS ON RETIREMENT
Lt. Colonel Stuart W. Hoskins, '40, one of the University's great sports stars, has retired after a 26-year career in the U. S. Army.
There for his retirement ceremony at Ft. Eustis, where Col. Hoskins served as Special Services Officer, was Coach Malcolm U. Pitt, one of the persons whom Hoskins said "taught me to be a God-fearing individual and not to take the easy wrong way but tackle the hard right way in life."
It was a philosophy "Stu" Hoskins followed from the time he was an All-Southern Conference baseball player for Coach Pitt, and one to which he stuck during a career of influencing and lifting the spirits of thousands of men. "Big Bear" or "Stukie" as his close friends call him, was a 12-letter man at Richmond College, and later played professional football with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Richmond Rebels. He had a brief fling with major league baseball, as a catcher with the Boston Red Sox.
In 1946, he was backfield coach in football and head coach in basketball for Fork Union Military Academy. He went to a Falmouth, Va. high school in 1947, coaching football, baseball and basketball. His teams had terrific records for the next three seasons: football, 24-9; baseball, 78-8, and basketball, 60-6.
He was recalled to active service in 1950 and assigned to Ft. Eustis, and later to Ft. Lee in coaching positions.
As Special Services Officer at Ft. Eustis, Col. Hoskins duties included staging basketball and baseball games, track meets, boxing shows. He has played a key role in opening a new roller rink and new picnic grounds, renovating bowling alleys, swimming pools and a beach-like area. His office at Ft. Eustis serves more than 30,000 men.
Among the many memories he has to treasure is an award which he received in 1962. It was the Conseil International du Sport Militaire, which Hoskins received for his superior work on behalf of the U. S. Forces in international military sports. He was the first American to receive the award.
He ends his career on a happy note. ''I've enjoyed every minute of my job. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't want any other job in the military. I'm happy making other people happy."

Martha Stewart Retires
The delightful Scottish accent of Miss Martha Stewart will be missing from the halls of Westhampton next fall.
After 20 years of service to the College, Miss Stewart is retiring from her position as Director of Westhampton Buildings. She came to Westhampton in 1947 from Manchester University where she had been in charge of catering and dormitories.
Her plans for the immediate future ( after taking care of three conferences at the College) , include a summer vacation on the New Jersey shore with Miss Jean Wright, trips to North Carolina and Expo '67, and, of course, a return visit to her native Scotland. Much of her "retirement" time will be spent at the home of Dr. Marion Hamilton, former Westhampton Dean of Students, in New London, Conn.
The Westhampton College Alumnae Association presented Miss Stewart with a gold watch at its luncheon meeting on May 13. Margaret Glenn Tinsley, '55, who made the presentation , paid tribute to Miss Stewart's "talent for organization and administration."
"Our admirat ion for you increased proportionately with age," Mrs. Tinsley said. "Yet it is not for this alone that we shall always remember you. Rather, it is for:
"Your jaunty step and sparkling eye, And your armful of magnolia leaves ! It is for your convivial spirit and zest for life, And your Scotch short bread! For your ready wit and crisp, clipped speech, And your campus bicycle rides! For the warmth of your heart and the hospitality of your hearth, And your collection of hats, past tale of number! For your graceful bearing and personal charm, And your luck at cards and bingo 1 For your love of learning and pursuit of culture, And your unforgetta ble readings from Robert Burns.
These are the things for which we shall always remember you 1"
