Individual Details
Hazie Louise RODGERS
(6 Mar 1910 - 5 Nov 1993)
Mrs. Francis Furr, formerly Hazle Rogers, of Louisville, attended Mississippi State College for Women, where she was president of the Theatre Guild and was an outstanding actor in the plays presented by this organization. For four years, before her marriage, Mrs. Furr taught English in the Pontotoc High School. She is interested in dramatics, debating, poetry, and living. This accounts in some degree for her enthusiasm and charm. An example of her work appears below:
Remuneration
I made an impassioned plea to Life
As I knelt beneath her outspread wings
And begged that she should ezse my mind
From wondering at the worth of things.
"To let me see things as they are,
And accept the bad with the good
To know ideals can't all prove true,
Concessions are easily understood.
"She granted my prayer so blindly made
And gave me the truth,
She asked but one thing in return,
And that one thing my youth.
