What's in a name? Self-assertiveness, a commitment to social justice and some family history, among other things, for Lucille Pickles Haworth '57. Haworth tells her story in a soft, gentle voice that belies the strength evident in her narrative. As Lucy Pickles from Rhode Island, she lit out for Maryland in the early 1950s to attend Hood College because she was eager to participate in college athletics, and only the all-women's colleges like Hood offered much of a program then. She transferred to Colby and made her own opportunities for sports, going into the then-new Alfond ice arena early in the morning to skate, "when the ice was smooth and I had it all to myself."
