Priscilla Winn:
A Fascinating
People Person
by Jean Wolff
You might find her in a vigorous game of golf croquet or bocce, or walking
through Meadowmont Village, or in the midst of a book discussion. Priscilla
Winn has been an active Cedars Member since her arrival in 2012 and
presently serves as Vice-Chair of the Members Council.
But let’s start from the beginning, when Priscilla was born in 1935 near
Liverpool, England. Liverpool was “blitzed” in 1940 during WWII, causing
her two-year evacuation to a small town in Wales, called Dee Valley. There,
she was safe and could attend school. Her routine was quite daunting for a
child of five and six, as she walked to the train station, caught the train and
accomplished this round trip, all alone. Returning home to the Liverpool
suburbs, she attended a weekly boarding school. In 1947, she spent the next
few years at Castleton School, a full-time boarding school in the Lake District
known in the novel Jane Eyre as Lowood. The rolling countryside was beautiful
and she loved it. From 1953-57, she attended the University of Liverpool
where her father was also a professor. Graduating first in her class, Priscilla
was invited by Sheffield University to participate in their PhD program. The
thesis work focused on the Arizona Desert Rat, which brought some chuckles.
But it was serious enough to grant her a Fulbright Scholarship for one year to
Rutgers University in New Jersey. Two years later she completed her thesis at
Sheffield, and in 1961 married T. Bliss Winn.
Priscilla and her American husband then moved to Germany, where he was
stationed with the U.S. Army. After returning to the States and Richmond, VA,
she taught Physiology at the Medical College of Virginia and at the University
of Pittsburgh. From 1965-70 she stayed home with her young daughters, Pippa
and Nikki. Then in the 1970’s, Priscilla taught both at the Wheeler School
in Providence, RI and also was its Head of Upper School. From 1978-92 she
held similar posts concurrently at Milton Academy, near Boston. Sadly, her
first husband died during this period. Later, she and her second husband, Tony
Barlow, spent almost five years in Toronto, Canada where she was principal
of Havergal College. After that, she worked at Manhattan’s Brearley School
for six years as Head of School, where she relished New York’s vibrancy
and culture. A second-time widow, Priscilla worked in 2003 as Development
Director of a large search firm. Interestingly, in 2011, she was brought back to
Brearley School for a one-year “administrative tune-up.”
The Cedars Post is a monthly publication
of The Cedars of Chapel Hill
Club, Inc. • 100 Cedar Club Circle
Chapel Hill NC 27517 • 919-259-7000
Today, Priscilla revels in the time she spends with her two daughters and four
grandchildren; families located in Raleigh and Australia. Above all, Priscilla
loves people. Smiling broadly, she exclaimed, “I’m a ‘People Person.'” Most
definitely—a Fascinating People Person!

Classical Mythology
Taught by Professor Elizabeth
Vandiver Ph.D., Associate
Professor of Classics and
Clement Biddle Penrose Professor
of Latin at Whitman College
(lectures on DVD)
Thursdays, August 6–September 10, 11am
Ballroom
From Athena to Zeus, the
characters and stories of
classical mythology have
been both unforgettable and
profoundly influential. They
have inspired and shaped
everything from great art and
literature, to our notions of
sexuality and gender roles, to
the themes of popular films and
TV shows.
Classical Mythology is an
introduction to the primary
characters and most important
stories of classical Greek and
Roman mythology. Among
those you will study are the
accounts of the creation of the
world in Hesiod’s Theogony
and Ovid’s Metamorphoses; the
gods Zeus, Apollo, Demeter,
Persephone, Hermes, Dionysos,
and Aphrodite; the Greek
Heroes, Theseus and Heracles
(Hercules in the Roman
version); and the most famous
of all classical myths, the Trojan
War.

Benefits of Ballroom Dancing
Ballroom dancing isn’t just a fun activity; it boasts benefits including
cardiovascular conditioning, strengthening of the muscular system and positive
effects on your mental health. Frequent dancing can offer protection against
dementia by improving cognitive reserve. While learning dance patterns, the
brain constantly rewires its neural pathways, as needed.
Six members of the Cedars Ballroom Dance Group recently enjoyed an outing
at the Pittsboro Road House in downtown Pittsboro. Our instructor Bruce
Gillooly had told us about the First Monday Nights there. For a mere $5 cover
charge, we enjoyed the music of the NC Revelers, a 17–piece orchestra playing
favorites from the big band era. After a light dinner, we ventured out on the
dance floor—first dancing to old favorite beach music but then branching out
to enjoy fox-trot, swing, rhumba and even one waltz. We are looking for more
Members to join the group and enjoy the benefits of ballroom dancing. The
next “big band” night is Monday, August 3. For more information, contact
Betty White at 919-967-4064.
Introductory Classes to Be Offered in August
During the month of August, 30-minute introductory sessions of Cedars
“specialty” classes will be held so that Members who haven’t tried them can
learn the basics of each class. There are no sign-ups or charges for these
classes; just join your friends in the Ballroom to see what all the fun is about!

Paula C. Snyder grew up on show tunes and sweet harmony. Over the years,
Paula has taken her music passion from back-seat-of-a-car family sing-a-long
harmonies to “Soulfully Nostalgic Music with a Modern Flair” heart-warming

she covers songs though the decades from 1920s through 1970s and beyond
from folk music to Broadway, and jazzy pop standards to bluesy originals.

rich suitors, and the single remaining vacancy poses a problem for two new

overwhelm them all, an unexpected solution appears. Starring Judi Dench,
