Abstract
Description
During her time as First Lady from 1975-1986, Mrs. Acker helped refurbish the president’s residence, named the street which leads to it, and housed students there in addition to again entertaining large groups of students, faculty, and visitors. Besides the traditional memberships in Domestic Science and Social Club, she was active in 4-H, P.E.O., Civic Theatre, Arts Council, League of Women Voters, the Manhattan Book Club, and both hospitals. Although already an accomplished china painter, Shirley also took art classes. She was the wife of president Duane Acker.
