Wicker chair made by a student in 1938 is part of HESC history exhibit. |
Yoes was from a community near Greenwood that is now part of Fort Chaffee. She completed two years at Arkansas Polytechnic College and taught home economics for two years on the Pine Ridge South Dakota Indian reservation before coming to the U of A.
After graduating from the U of A, she taught in several schools and was principal of the Greenland schools where she met and married Bert Yoes. She was born in 1904 and died in 1956.
Alcia and Bert Yoes had two daughters, Janice Yoes and Donna Yoes Geller, both UA alumnae who now live in Fayetteville. The chair was donated by Donna, a former member of the music faculty at Purdue University. Janice Yoes was a professional opera singer and is an associate professor of music at the U of A. The sisters established the Alcia Oldham Yoes scholarship for UA music students in 1980.
