Virginia Stanard Forbes Maner, born in 1921 in Atlanta, Ga., and Charlotte Revercomb Stephenson Oresman, born in 1920 in New York, were 1942 graduates of the University of North Carolina. Both women attended the Randolph Macon Woman's College in Lynchburg, Va., before transferring to UNC. Upon graduation, Oresman lived in New York City, N.Y., where she died in 1978. Maner wrote and edited for a number of newspapers, including She died in 2000 in Williamsburg, Va. The New York Times. The collection consists of a book of verse entitled that Virginia Stanard Forbes Maner and Charlotte Revercomb Stephenson Oresman created in July 1942, a small notecard announcing the completion of the book, and a mock list of critics' reviews. The cardboard-bound book consists of 20 typed verses, each accompanied by hand-drawn and colored illustrations. Each five-line verse is a limerick that addresses the book's first line:   refers to Maner and Oresman's group of friends and acquaintances at the University of North Carolina, including professors, landlords, and classmates.
