About	Bates Magazine Published on March 10, 2013 Marie Dodge Joy ’40 November 29, 2011 A French major, Marie Dodge Joy long remembered the dash from campus to convent for afternoon conversation with the nuns for French class, except on mild days when she tended to loiter. She also remembered how kind geology professor Doc Fisher must have been, since science was not her forte. As class secretary, she enjoyed surrounding herself with notes and letters from classmates. She taught at Cape Elizabeth High School, Portland High School, Bourne High School and Greely Institute, and was a librarian in Portland. She and husband Elwyn “Al” Joy built a home in Falmouth, where they lived for 53 years until his death in 1999. She is survived by several nieces and nephews
