The Wisdom of the Past

"NO MAN IS FREE WHO IS NOT MASTER OF HIMSELF." EPICTETUS

Too many of us-complaining

of the erosion of individual liberties and the tightening controls of government - have overlooked or forgotten this simple philosophy.

Yet it is as true today in 20th Century America as it was 2,000 years ago in ancient Greece. To remain free, we must be willing to face individual responsibility. To accept self discipline as the only true discipline. To defend - consciously and constantly-the liberties we cherish.

This was the philosophy that guided our founding fathers. Men such as Washington and Jefferson dedicated their lives to creating a nation in which all men could be masters of themselves. Answerable above all to their own consciences. Served by their government-and not its servants.

Their legacy to us was individual freedom. If today it seems in jeopardy, let us remember: No man is free who is not master of himself.

THE

GENERAL

EXECUTIVE

In Praise Of Odis Hinnant Philanthropy will not be found as a subject in the college curriculum, but it is a basic characteristic of liberally educated men and women, a fundamental part of orien tati on in the liberal arts. A college is fortunate when it has been able to impart to its students the ~e~;;Tng ~ philanth;op y,- as- well as· knowledg~ ~c;f t~ch:- Such -acoll~g~ ga-i'ns~ i~h r~t~;n ~~ s't h~ lives and tangible goods of its alumni serve dedicated purposes. A college that has such alumni is assured dynamic vitality, for its alumni exert a creative influence on their Alma Macer.

The University of Richmond is singularly blessed to have many alumni whose lives reflect a philanthropic outlook and an ability to translate their philanthropy into practical efforts.

Among them are men and women in every kind of endeavor. Pervading their personalities is a love of mankind, an appreciation of their Alma Mater, and an active desire to guarantee the benefits of a Richmond education for future generations.

Often an alumnus of the University makes an unusually valuable contribution, both of his tangible goods and of himself . The contributions of such an alumnus typify the meaning of philanthropy and reveal the value of an independent university whose atmosphere cultivates that voluntary pilgrimage which we know as The American Way. Such an alumnus is Odis B. Hinnant, member of the Class of 1914.

At the beginning of this year, Odis Hinnant accepted the General Chairmanship of the Alumni Bequest Program. From the outset, his serious intentions were apparent, for immediately he began to make arrangements for permanently endowing his own substantial yearly contribution to the Alumni Fund. He also called personally on most of his 40 Class Bequest Chairmen and with them studied their class lists, for he realized that permanent endowment of all contributions to the Alumni Fund would mean the addition of $2,500,000 co the University's 0

endowment.

Odis Hinnant next made a comprehensive study of the University's endowment needs.

He found that continuation of the past decade's endowment growth will require the addition amount almost of $4,500,000 to the University 's endowment during the next ten years-an identical to capital needs. Having charted these needs in detail, he is de-voting three days each week chis fall to personal discussions of the University's future with more than 100 alumni leaders in Richmond, Roanoke, Petersburg, and other Virginia cities. As an alumni volunteer, he is giving half of his time to his Alma Mater - a distinctive contribution deeply appreciated

by Alma Mater. His gift of time and ability evokes even more gratitu de when one learn s that during the fall Odis Hinnant also is professional director of a community fund in a West Virginia city, that he speaks weekly to various civic groups, and that he gives another three days a week to his work as chaplain at Beaumont, the Virginia industrial school for boys.

To Odis Hinnant, lifelong YMCA missionary and executive, philanthropy is a way of life.

Love of mankind is one of his primary characteristics. His Alma Mater is justifiably proud of his accomplishments and grateful for his contributions.

SCHOOL

If you are an "average" alumnus of the class of '38 or earlier you would not be reading this article, were it not for advances in health measures since the turn of the century. You would be dead! Since 1900, the life expectancy in years for the citizen of the United States has increased from forty-seven to three score and ten.

The increased life span of people in all civilized countries can not be attributed to any single factor or condition but advances in health sciences have contributed greatly to longevity. High in importance in health sciences are surgery, internal medicine and pharmaceutical chemistry, the first two of which depend greatly on the last.

Pharmaceutical chemiSJtry is concerned with the preparation of drugs for use in the maintenance of health and the treatment of disease. These drugs may be obtained from natural sources or they may be synthesized . The syntheses may involve slight or major variations in the structure of the naturally occurring products or the building of the desired compounds from pharmacologically inactive chemicals.

Many of these drugs have become so much a part of modern life that existence

without them would be intolerable to large numbers of people. Millions of Americans who today are in excellent health would either be dead or in such a physical and mental state ,that death would be a welcome relief were it not for certain drugs, many of recent origin.

Fifty years ago pneumonia killed one patient out of three. Today, due largely to modern drugs, such as sulfapyridine, approximately seventeen out of eighteen patients survive pneumonia. In 1913, tuberculosis was the main cause of death in the United States. Today, due to modern treatment, which includes surgery and new drugs, tuberculosis ranks seventeenth as a fatal disease. Had such treatment been available for Robert Louis Stevenson, English literature and youthful adventure lovers likely would have been enriched by many other exciting narratives.

An imaginative historian could write an interesting treatise on history as it might have been had modern drugs been available

at certain times in the past. Penicillin could have cured Stonewall Jackson after the mishap at Chancellorsville. Jackson's artillery at Gettysburg might have turned a crushing defeat for Lee into an inspiring victory.

Tranquilizers could have made George III of England a more tractable individual and might have averted the loss to England of a certain thirteen colonies.

Modern history doubtless would have been much different had it not been for

pharmaceutical chemical developments , many of recent origin. In September, 1955, it is quite likely that the United States of America would have had another president had not modern drugs been available when Eisenhower had a heart attack. Thousands of veterans of World War I and World War II who have made tremendous contributions to national progress would not have returned to civilian life had there been no advances in medical sciences since the Civil War. Many diseases which were scourges to humanity in tropical and semitropical areas particularly, now have been or are being brought under control by modern science.

Destruction of lice, mosquitoes, black gnats and snails is the best method to prevent the spread of typhus, malaria, filiarisis and schistosomiasis, respectively. Treatment is with chemotherapeutic agents, largely of recent origin . Leprosy, dread disease of ancient and modern times, is losing some of its terror as certain new drugs cause improvement in about four patients out of five who have had the disease from one to twenty years.

Vitamin deficiency diseases develop in individuals when their foods lack adequate quantiities of certain vitamins. Night blindness, beriberi, scurvy, rickets and pellegra result from deficiency in vitamin A, vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin C ( ascorbic acid), vitamin D 2 ( calciferol) and niacin, respectively. Although a balanced diet furnishes aLI of the vitamin requirements for a normal, healthy individual, paithological cond~tions at times cause the destruction or improper utilization of one or more vitamins.

For some people the regular use of vitamin tablets is more than a fad.

Pernicious anemia results from inadequate transfer of vitamin B 12 from the intestinal tract to the blood. Hog and calf liver are relatively rich in vitamin B12 so early therapy for pernicious anemia consisted in feeding large quantities of liver. Fortunately for people who disliked such a diet, liver concentrates proved to be a satisfactory substitute. Vitamin B12 or cyanocobalamin now is prepared in crystalline form by fermentation processes so the present therapy for pernicious anemia consists of intramuscular injection of solutions of the pure vitamin.

The usual dosage of vitamin B12 is from 1 to 30 micrograms, although when anemia is accompanied with severe neurological abnormality, the dosage may be 1000 micrograms or 1 milligram . This latter amount is one thousand times the actual daily requirement of vitamin B12 for one microgram per day in the blood stream is adequate to prevent pernicious anemia. Thus, one ounce of vitamin B1 2 , if fully utilized, would be adequa:te to prevent pernicious anemia for one year in a city of 80,000 inhabitants. The daily dose of one microgram seems small, particularly since vitamin B12 (CGsH90CoN14 Q 14 P) is such a large molecule, but each individual would receive 400 million milJion molecules per day.

Forty years ago the patient wirth diabetes usually was doomed to a precarious and severely diet limited existence, followed in many cases by a premature and horrible death. A,t present, except in extreme cases,

J. STANTON PIERCE J. Stanton Pierce, veteran professor al chemistry at the University of Richmond, is admired by his colleagues as an able teacher , a devoted and successful researcher and a wise and sympathic counselor.

He perhaps has guided as many students into restudy as any member of the search and graduate faculty which he joined in 1937.

All of the friends of this quiet, unassuming scientistin the announcement that and they ore legion-rejoiced he would be one of two recipients of the 1963 Distinguished Service Awards of the Virginia section of were Society. The awards Chemical the American presented at a dinner in Richmond on June 7.

Dr. Pierce ¡ s research has been largely devoted to the discovery of compounds important for their pharmaceutical uses and it is in this ~eld that he writes in the article on this page. authoritatively Georgetown A native of Kentucky, he attended College in Kentucky where he took his B.S. and the in Univers.ity of Illinois where he took his doctorate 1924. He has an honorary doctrate from Georgetown .

He had taught at the University of South Dakota, the before coming University of Illinois, and Georgetown to the University of Richmond.

diabetes can be controlled by regular use of insulin and in mild cases in adults, frequently by oral use of the new synthetic compound, orinase.

Phenobarbital enables a patient with epilepsy to lead a fairly normal life .

Chlortrimeton and other antihistamines relieve to a great extent the symptoms of asthma and hay fever.

Duodenal ulcer is largely a modern affliction, brought on by tension. Relatively few of the millions of individuals, usually men, who suffer from an ulcer, will die directly from its effect but to such a victim, the enjoyment of life, particularly the act of eating, is greatly reduced . Robinul, a new antiulcer drug, developed by a graduate of the University of Richmond for a phar-

maceutical company whose president is a graduate of ,the University of Richmond, due to its strength and specificity of action, is making substantial inroads into the arutiulcer market. Robaxin, a muscle relaxant developed by another gradua,te of the University of Richmond for the same company, based on sales, is one of the top drugs used for the treatment of muscle spasm associated with acute strain.

Modern surgery would be impossible without anesthetics. Tens of millions of Americans have undergone major surgery, surgery necessary for survival in a large percentage of cases. Analgesics help to make convalescence pleasant rather than a nightmare of pain and thus contribute to healing of the surgical incisions. Chemotherapeutic agents, such as the sulfonamides and antibiotics, most of which have become available within the past thirty years, cause happy endings to many operations which otherwise would be classified as "Operation successful. Patient died."

Although research in pharmaceutical chemistry has contributed greatly to man's relief from pain, his health, his span of life, his ability to enjoy these added years and to use them productively, much yet remains to be done. At present, heart disease is the main killer with cancer second. Mental patients occupy a high percentage of hospital beds. Great progress has been made in the (C ontinued on pag e 20)

Introducing

OURNEWTRUSTEES DAVID

NELSON SUTTON

Although he has an international reputation as a brilliant prosecutor of Tojo and other Japane se war criminals, David Nelson Sutton, ' 15, a newcomer to the University 's board of trustees, insists he is "just a country lawyer."

He is looked up to not only as the leading legal light in his area but has been described by colleagues as "the best friend any young lawyer in his circuit can have."

His office is at West Point, Va., where his son David, Jr., '48 , is in practice with him. In fact, the entire family is a University of Richmond family. Mrs. Sutton, the former Frances Lillard Shipman, is a

Two of the University's most loyal alumni, David Nels on Sutton, '15, and Tyler Haynes, '22, have been added to the University's board of trustees. Each is a distinguished member of his profession; each a public-spirited civic leader. They can be expected to give to the board the benefit of their wisdom and devotion. The brief sketches on this page will introduce them to the Alumni who do not already know them.

Nimrod Nelson

1920 graduate of Westhampton, where daughter Franees graduated in 19 51.

Mr . Sutton can lay claim to having supported the University from probably the longest distance if not the longest time, having remembered to contribute to the Alumni Fund in 1948 from Tokyo during the war criminal trials .

The job would last six months, he was told when it started in 1946, but turned out to last two and a half years. Mr. Sutton was in court 425 days during the trial that covered a court record of 50,000 pages of evidence. He did the job in his usual thorough way in spite of langua ge difficulties- each word in court was repeated in English , Japanese and Russian.

He has been a tireless worker for his University - as a class agent for the Alumni Fund many times, and president of the Alumni Society in 1954.

He has practiced in West Point since 1920, serving from 1928 until 1946 as

Haynes ' Hobby.

commonwealt h 's attorney of Kin g William County. His fellow attorneys have honored him many times, electing him pr esident of the Virginia State Bar Association in 1948 .

The Univer sity of Richmond honor ed and recognized his achievement s in 1954, when he was elected to membership in Phi Beta Kappa, which had no chapter on the campus wh en he was an undergraduate .

DR.W.

TYLER HAYNES

The election of Dr. W. Tyler Ha ynes, '22 , as a trustee of the University simply strengthens the tie of loyalty that has existed since his graduation 41 years ago.

He is a former member of the executive committee of the AJumni Council , and a former class agent. At his farm on Gaskins Road, he has been host for many years at picnics for alumni of Omicron Delta Kappa leadership society and Phi Gamma Delta social fraternity.

His main concern as a trustee, he says, will be strengthening of faculty salaries.

Following his graduation with a B.S. in 1922, he attended the Medical College of Virginia , where he received a D .D.S . in 1926. Two years were spent in further study in New York, and Dr. Haynes in 1928 began a practice limited to orthodontics (treatment of irregularities of the teeth).

He has been professor at MCV since 1928 and professor of orthodontics 20 years.

He is on the ladder of titles in the Southern Orthodontics Society and will be its president in two years.

As an undergraduate, he was business manager of The Web and vice president of the student body. But today, Dr. Haynes is not a joiner; his memberships are limited mostly to professional organizations or those with a tie to educational institutions - and to the Baptist church . (But Medi cal College of Virginia alumni prevailed on him several years ago to be their president.)

Although he has counseled und ergradu ates for a generation, Dr. Haynes would never fit any writer 's stereotyped profes sional alumnus . Football games frankly do not interest him. Yet there is nothin g unusual in finding him- with no hat , even in wint ertim estrolling and chatting with several und ergraduates or young alumni on Broad Street.

His hobby, he says, is "lying on the sofa, sleeping. " There are few better places to do so than his farm in Henri co county .

The time availabl e for that hobb y and for strolling down Broad Street appears to have diminished in recent months . In additi on to his office in the Medical Arts Buildin g downtown , he has opened an office in Stratford Hills in Chesterfield County .

Another Land ... Another Life

AfghanHousewife

By BARBARAFERGUSONQAISSAUNEE,'60*

I am an Afghan housewife, a Khanom Sahib.

It is a challenging job and a time-consuming one, but I love every minute of it.

I have been an Afghan housewife -cook, "cleaning woman," seamstress, fire tender, etc.-since September, 1962.

With my many duties as a housewife and

my work as a librarian, I haven't missed television, ranch-style suburban homes or credit cards since my husband and I came to his native country to live. Let me tell you something about life in Afghanistan, a country about the size of Texas which is bordered

by Iran , Russia, China and West Pakistan.

Abdul and I live in a typical mud-brick , [ 6

J

mortar-covered house in Kabul, and our neighbors and friends are Afghans. Kabul , the home of approximately 300,000 people , is located in the northeastern section of the country, in the valley of the Hindu Kush.

At an elevation of 6,000 feet, its dry sunny climate is marvelous . Kabul's brilliantly blue skies remain sunny and blue all winter.

And in winter our view is especially majestic with the sun glistening on the snowy peaks of the Hindu Kush , against the background of the strikingly blue sky. Although Kabul's wintry temperatures fall quite low, the warm and bright sunshine makes heat unnecessary in the daytime.

Kabul is a picturesque city where the ancient and modern intermingle at every hand.

According to Afghan law, every land owner is required to close his property with a wall- so all residential areas look alike.

City streets are wide and well-paved, but become narrower and dustier in the suburbs.

There are many cars and trucks on the streets, as well as city buses, but the drivers spend much of their time dodging people , sheep, goats, loaded donkeys, cows and an occasional camel caravan.

The buses, incidentally, have only one front seat for women, with the remainder reserved for men. Bold woman that I am, I have on occasion sat in the men's section.

I usually sit with the veiled women but also have stood ( seething with indignation) while a couple dozen men relaxed in their seats.

Although many Afghans now dress Western-style, on the street you see mostly turbans and veils. A turban is a strip of selfedged cloth about a foot wide but 12 to 20 feet long. When Abdul's teen-age brother visited us sometime ago, I had the dubious pleasure of washing and ironing his turbans - so I know whereof I speak. Afghan men also wear baggy cotton trousers and a "piran," or long dress-like shirt.

Even though the "chadori" was legally discouraged several years ago, the majority of Afghan women never leave home without donning this shroud-like garb. The Moslem leaders, or "mullahs," encourage women to believe that it is sinful for them to be seen unveiled in public. Usually dark blue or gray, the opaque, shapeless, pleated garment completely covers its wearers from head to toe with latticework for the eyes and nose.

To my surprise, many women wear quite nice Western-style clothes under their chadoris, including nylon hose and heels. Ordinarily , however, a lady's attire is completed with a full-skirted piran and a pair of "ezar," or wide cotton trousers.

Our Kabul is a city of shopping centers.

If you immediately think of gigantic suburban shopping marts, forget them. These shop*Barbara met Abdul Qaissaunee when both were graduate students at the University of Illinois .

They were married in November, 1961, and have been living in Kabul , Afghanistan , since September, 1962. Dr. Qaissaunee is dean of the College of Engin eering at the University of Kabul.

ping centers are the famous Middle Eastern bazaars.

Like all Afghans (I hold dual citizenship, American and Afghan), we buy our foodand everything else-from the turbaned merchants in the bazaars. Grocery stores do not exist, much less supermarkets. The merchants charge according to their moods, so that one day soap may be six afs and the next day nine .

Overcharging foreigners is their only consistency. So even though a stroll through the bazaars is a treat for me, I usually stay away.

Like practically everything about Kabul , the bazaars fascinate me-particularly the multicolored displays of fruit, candies, nuts and vegetables . You can find just about anything in the bazaars, from a silk-embroidered sheepskin jacket, Afghan carpet, Karakul hat or chadori to the latest electrical appliances.

I have found Kabul food to be very tasty, in spite of the American treatment it gets from me. Vegetables are of the same variety as those in the United States, but many are king size. Fruit is a specialty, with Herat

alone reporting 72 varieties of grapes . Just about any kind of fruit is plentiful, including luscious melons, pomegranates, oranges and grapefruit.

Mutton, sold interchangeably with goat, is the favorite meat of most Afghans, and kabab is a taste treat fit for any king. The fat-tail sheep is especially prized, both for its meat and its oil. Beef is plentiful in the winter, and chickens are always on the market - live! I don't know of any Afghan processed foods, except for marvelous hydrogenated vegetable oil. The bazaars carry limited supplies of costly imported canned goods; for example , a small can of powdered milk costs the equivalent of 75 cents or 8 pounds of beef.

Americans usually like "nan ," Afghan bread , and I am no exception. Mixed and shaped by hand and baked to a brown crispness in Afghan ovens, the thin slabs of whole-wheat bread are a delight to any palate

-especially when toasted on top of a wood stove on a frosty morning.

Another essential in our diet is "chai," or tea. We wouldn't dare deprive our guests of their traditional pot of chai. Warmed up by chai and nourished by "nokul " (sugar-covered apricot seeds), "keshmesh" ( walnuts, almonds and raisins) and salted, roasted pistachios, we often engage in good old-fashioned conversation .

You may wonder how I spend my days, so let me try to give you an idea of my life as a Khanom Sahib.

My day begins with a trip to our only water faucet ( in the yard) where I fill the teakettle and then put it on our kerosenedrinking kitchen range. I proceed sleepily to fix both breakfast and lunch , then eat hurriedly and dash off to work. (I work for USAID/ Afghanistan as librarian at the Afghan Institute of Technology and for Teachers College, Columbia University team as library consultant and as adviser to two Afghan school libraries where we catalog books in English, French and German , as well as Farsi, Pushtu, Ordu, Turkish , Arabic and Russian. I have been told that I am the only trained Afghan librarian in the country.)

Returning home at noon , I warm up our lunch and make soup out of stew if we have guests, then scamper back to work by 1 o'clock. When I get home at 5, I put on the faithful teakettle, just previous to the arrival of a tired, thirsty husband and an unpredictable number of friends and / or relatives.

With the temperature clinging to the 100degree mark, I have become addicted to iced tea but cannot induce any of our friends even to try it.

While I finish butchering the meat and get supper on the stove, Abdul chops wood and fills the small water tank atop the wood heater in the "bath" room for our baths later in the evening. If I have time I squat Afghan-style, broom in hand, and do a duck walk across the floors, vacuuming the rugs except for one nice Afghan carpet which I clean with a special brush .

Supper over, I pile the day's dishes into a tub and douse them with water heated on the multi-purpose range. A half hour later I am ready to rinse them under the outdoor faucet.

After Abdul has made the fire, we take our baths in an old-fashioned tub that would make Grandpa feel right at home, while water runs out through a drain in the floor.

Once a week we wash clothes. We are the proud owners of a fine wringer-washer that was new only five years ago. Washing is a laborious process, especially for Abdul , who must heat the water and carry it one bucket at a time to the machine . But it is much better than scrubbing clothes on the rocks and rinsing them in polluted streams as many Afghan women do.

Occasionally, I find time to sew, a must [ 7

J

in every Afghan household. When I left the United States, I could barely put in a decent hem . Although my skill as a seamstress has not improved considerably , I make our curtains and draperies, sheets, bedspreads, tablecloths and some of my own clothes. Our Japanese hand-operated portable machine is one of our luxuries; so are a massive kero sene icebox which we use only in summer and a powerful shortwave radio .

We often listen to the radio . Another favorite pastime is talking with our Afghan friends before an open fire. As a result of these fireside conversations , I have come to believe that many Afghans have a number of illusions about the United States, sometimes imparted by their American teachers.

For example, one university junior was quite surprised to find out that all American families didn't own their own houses, have two cars or lots of money. And he was astonished to learn that some American cities do indeed have beggars!

My Afghan friends have learned something of America from me. But I have learned ever so much more from them .

I have learned that Persian and Pushh1 are certainly the most difficult languag es on earth , or that I'm the laziest person . I have learned that clothes don't make the man ( or the woman) . I also have learned that it is possible to set up housekeeping without all ( or any) of the modern conveniences ; that I can live on $40 a month and like it ¡ that I can do things the hard way and enjo; them; that it isn't easy to keep in the black without an installment plan ; that I can live quite well without modern plumbing and that an outdoor toilet isn't half bad ¡ that cement floors make a house as much a 'home as hardwood; that there is more to cooking than a can opener and that supermark ets are not essential to a happy life; that coffee can be eliminated from the diet without any ill effects; that I can butcher, cook and eat mutton and goat, and that one of Afghanistan's greatest blessings is the lack of television .

What I have learned in my first year in Afghanistan would fill a book (and could not be found in any book), but I hope I shall continue to learn. Often I am a very dull student, become impatient , forget my lessons and have to be reminded .

Enrollment Reaches New First Semester High

The New Session Two new buildings were pressed into service as the University of Richmond started its 1963-64 session with the largest first semester enrollment on record.

One of the new buildings was literally opened with a splash-the new swimming pool at Westhampton College where the girls are reaping the benefits of years of effort by the alumnae. The other building, Dennis Memorial Hall, was rushed to completion in time to provide first class accommodations for the 105 young men who had ¡ been promised beds in that building.

The dormitory was a race right down to the wire with the workmen, helped by dry weather ., that was a boon to them but a catastrophy to Virginia farmers, finishing up a few days ahead of schedule.

When attendance figures were announced at the opening convocation no one was surprised to learn that the total of 5, 171 set a new first semester record, some 300 above last year's opening figure. When second semester figures are added in February, it is certain that the total will eclipse last year's peak of 5,312.

Of course, the total could have been much higher, had the University had facilities to accommodate all of the qualified students who sought admission to Westhampton College and Richmond College.

Westhampton College's dormitory facilities had been exhausted as early as last December and at Richmond College Dean Robert F. Smart estimated that fully 200 additional

first rate students would have come had there been beds for them.

The enrollment figures were reported by the deans of the seven divisions with the youngest member of the University family, University College , setting one record and making it possible for the Summer School

SPLASH. These five girls, among them Elaine Johnson, College Government president, are scoring a historic first-the first to swim in the Fanny G. Crenshaw Swimming Pool. [ 8 ]

to set another. The University College total of 1,520 compared with 1,401 last year.

The Summer School enrollment, swelled by University College summer students, reached an all-time high of 1432.

The opening convocation was attended by the usual academic panoply with the seniors marching in procession for the first time with the faculty . Only freshmen and seniors of the undergraduate divisions attended the convocation but they were sufficiently numerous to fill the Luther H. Jenkins Greek Theater to near capacity.

Freshmen who already had had a week to learn what every upperclassman knows, that the academic pace is fast and difficult, got no easy recipe for success from the speaker, Dr. Theodore F. Adams, pastor of First Baptist Church, past president of the Baptist World Alliance , and a member of the board of trustees. "God," he said, "helps those who help themselves ." He urged them to get to work and buckle down .

He also told the students that God helps those who "can't help themselves," those who "help others," and those who "help Him." He described the last group as those "who stand against evil and stand up for what they believe is right."

Charter Heslep:A Tribute Charter Heslep dead?

Impossible!

Even those of us who knew of his overstrained heart and his disdain of doctor's orders to "take it easy," found it difficult to accept as true the news that Charter was dead at 59.

Perhaps it was significant that Charter's last years were spent with the Atomic Energy Commission because "atomic energy" and "perpetual motion," in combination, best explain Heslep . But no portrait would be complete without the Heslep smile, the Heslep exuberance , the Heslep kindness which at times extended into a sort of knight-errantry. Add to this the logical mind which played over these emotions when he planned his work in characteristic, precise detail.

The vital statistics, although they are impressive , do not tell the story of "Fritz" Heslep, nor can they explain his genius for making friends , a genius he exhibited during his student days on the campus of the University of Richmond (BA , 1926) .

Most men would be satisfied to achieve success in one field. Charter was pre-eminent in three. As a newspaperman , he achieved the goal of all newspapermen to become managing editor. Charter worked up to be i.rn of the Washington Daily News to wh ich he had given distinguish ed service as a reporter and as city editor. Turning next to radio, he was a star member of the NBC staff and is still remembered for his ingenuity in scoring a 2-hour beat on wire services on Hitler's invasion of Russia in 1941.

After serving as chief radio news censor

under Byron Price in the Office of Censorship during World War II, Charter returned to radio with Mutual Broadcasting System and was a pioneer in the network use of tape recording.

It was while covering the Truman campaign for Mutual that he formed a lasting friendship with the President , a man Charter resembled in many respects. Opposition newscasters still remember ruefully that Heslep got an MBS exclusive on Truman's first post-election broad cast.

After the dropping of the atomic bomb ushered in a new era in the history of mankind , it was inevitable that Charter should have joined forces with the Atomic Energy Commission. In 1956 he was awarded the AEC's Outstanding Service M edal. His duties with the Commission were many.

He planned and prepared the observance of the 20th anniversary of the first controlled nuclear chain reaction , handled radio and television coverage of publicly reported nuclear weapons tests in N evada and the Marshall Islands , managed the U. S. delegation's information program at the first United Nations Atoms for Peace Conference in Geneva, and served in an advisory capacity at the second international conference in 1958 . He coordinated and prepared speeches, to use the AEC's official description, but most of all he "ghosted" speeches. Fritz Heslep ghost-wrote a great many speeches and books, among them Fleet Admiral William Leahy' s war memoirs , "I Was There ."

To those who insisted that ghost-writing was a shabby practice, Charter was quick to

strike back both in defense of the executive employing the "ghost" and the ghost himself. It is entirely proper , he insisted, that professional writers use their talents to help harried presidents and other administrative officials in their effort to communicate with the people . Said Charter : "There are deep satisfactions in feeling that through one's command of English and the ability to marshal] facts in effective continuity, he contributes to public understanding of a segment of government-even if anon ymously. I am proud to be that kind of a ghost. " Charter achieved careers in journal ism, radio, and government but his most notable career was in the field of human relations.

Like President Truman , he was never playacting . He was a democrat instinctively . He did not talk about it, but he believed in it with all his heart. He believed in and loved his fellowman , whether one was possessed of little or mu ch worldly goods. He never found himself in any company where he was not at ease, save that of knaves and poltroons , and even these might intrigue him. It was impossible to resist Charter's frank, friendly, courteous addre ss.

Although his long experience in the newspaper world gave his remarks habitually a sardonic cast and threw a tone of skepticism over his observation of mankind 's evolutions, in his final arguments with himself he tried to be optimistic. These broad bases and incentives sprang from his Virginia and University of Richmond background , particularly from the political attitudes of his (Co ntinued on page 40)

Spider Gridders Magnificent Against Florida

RichmondBattlesTech In HomecomingTilt

By WALTER DREWRY Through the years the University of Richmond football teams have won a few games and lost a few. They've beaten teams they weren't expected to beat and they've been upset on occasion. But no one will forget the gallant Spider eleven and the game it played against a heavily favored University of Florida squad one hot afternoon in October of 1963.

U. of R. alumni can be proud of their football team which they will have an opportunity to see in action when the Spiders engage Virginia Tech in the Homecoming engagement on November 2.

The Florida Gators had beaten Penn State in the Gator Bowl the previous season. They had been picked by some critics to finish as high as sixth nationally is '63 . They had two All-America candidates in Fullback Larry Dupree and Frank Lasky. And they were favored to whip the Spiders by at least four touchdowns.

Coach Ed Merrick 's lads had beaten East Carolina, 10-7, and lost to the University of Tennessee, 34-6, in a game that was much closer than the score indicates. But the Spiders had come to Gainesville to play football and they let the Gators know about it in a hurry.

With 28,000 fans looking on in amazement, Richmond put the first 10 points on the scoreboard. Defensive Halfback Joe Stromick intercepted a pass and Bruce Gossett, a junior college transfer student with a magic toe, booted a 35-yard field goal just

as he had done for the margin of victory over East Carolina in the opener. Shortly thereafter, Center Jim Helvin, cited nationally for his great defensive work that day ( eight tackles, four assists), recovered a fumble on the Florida 20-yard line. Bill Silvi passed to End Pete Emelianchik on the one and Halfback Ken Wilbourne blasted tackle for the score.

The stunned Gators, who were to upset Alabama the following week, finally recovered and taUied twice to take a 14-1O lead at intermission. Then the Florida team began acting like the national power it was expected to be. The weary Spiders trailed, 35-10, with 11 minutes to go, then suddenly caught fire and came within seven points of pulling the upset of the season!

Quarterback Ronnie Smith threw two touchdown passes and scored another in the hectic finish that left the Gators and Ray Graves, their coach, gasping when it was all over.

Smith connected with Halfback Kenny Stoudt on a 44-yard scoring pass to cut the margin to 35-16 with 6:38 remaining in the contest. Then Stoudt, magnificent on defense, intercepted a Gator pass and romped 45 yards to the Florida six-yard stripe. Smith scored and it was 35-22. Less than four minutes were left on the clock.

The Gators took to the air in an attempt to run up the score. This time Pete Britton made the interception and romped 61 yards before he was pulled down. Smith, a transfer student from Wake Forest who prepped at Richmond's Varina High, connected with Emelianchik on a nine-yard scoring play with 1 : 14 left. With 2 3 seconds left Florida was forced to punt but Richmond had to watch time run out since it had no timeouts left. The final score : Florida, 3 5; Richmond, 28.

Graves said after the game that the work done by Merrick and his staff preparing for the game was the best he'd seen since he became Florida's coach.

The opening victory over East Carolina was accomplished on a 54-yard Silvi to Stoudt pass and Gossett's field goal. The following week, East Carolina whipped Wake Forest, 20-10. Stoudt was named Richmond's outstanding back in that game by scribes and Guard Joe Kessel was chosen Southern Conference Lineman of the Week .

It took a "gift" touchdown for Tennessee to take a 14-0 lead over the Spiders in the second game of the season at Knoxville. A freak interception of a Smith attempt to pass (his arm was hit and the ball landed in the arms of a Vol player who ran all the [ 10)

way) accounted for one Tennessee first half tally.

The clock showed 5 :46 left in the game and Tennessee leading, 21-0, when Smith shot a pass to Wilbourne which covered 51 yards and gave the Spiders six points on the scoreboard. Richmond, however, was unable to stop the Vols late in the contest and Tennessee prevailed, 34--6.

Southern Mississippi edged the Spiders, 7-0, in 95 degree weather at Hattiesburg by capitalizing on a fumble by Ron Gordon, Spider sophomore fullback, and driving 34 yards. Richmond never could get its offense to click in this one chiefly because the Southerners' John Laird kept them bottled up in their own territory with his great punting.

Gossett had to punt several times with his back to the goal line.

Old Grads To See Frosh Coach Joe Downing's University of Richmond freshman team whipped the V.M.I. Rats, 24-7, at I,ex/ngton in their second game of the season after bowing to Bullis Prep, 6-0, at Silver Spring, Md., in the season's opener .

The freshmen play host to the East Carolina freshmen at Robins Field on Saturday morning, Nov. 2, at 10 a.m. in a Homecoming headliner and wind up their season against Chowan Junior College at Murfreesboro, N. C., on Nov . 14.

HOW TO SAY "NO" TO TEEN-AGERS Why mom and dad occasionally say "no to teen-agers-and how to understand itis the subject of two books for teen-agers by Charles K. Scott, '55 .

The point of the books is to put the shoe

on the other foot, as described by the titles: " If I Were My Mom" and "If I Were My Dad." Scott figures the books will help parents as well as offspring by clearly stating the teen-ager 's problems.

Scott conceived the idea of the books while representing a publishing company in Virginia, Delaware, Maryland and Washington, D. C. The books are a product of seven years of thought, study and polishing, and Scott thinks they present solid ideas on how teen-agers can better grasp circumstances leading parents to say "no" so many times when crises stem from squabbles about allowances, dating , dressing , studying , and using the car.

To support himself and finance the books, Scott has worked as an elevator operator, manager the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity's New York club, and sold cars. Currently , he's working on another book.

s.

MRS. WILLIAM MATTHEWS (Lily Frances Trevvett '09) Glen Allen, Virginia Clara Gary is recovering from a long period of illness and is looking forward to enjoying again her hobby-substituting in the Richmond schools.

Salie Engelberg taught Government at R.P.I. during summer school. She is now doing research on Negro Women in Virginia during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.

Lorena Mason was in Vermont in June, 1963, and later in the summer in the mountains of Virginia. Concerts and church occupy her time when in Richmond.

Eudora Ramsey Richardson's paper-"Coeducation and Co-ordination versus Traditional Southern Colleges for Women," delivered at the Institute of Southern Culture, Longwood, 1962, (along with two other papers) will be published shortly.

Your Secretary had an interesting and enjoyable trip "Around the World," January 16th -July 1, visiting Honolulu, Japan, Manila, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore, Colombo, [ndia, Karachi, Cairo, Beirut, Jerusalem, Istanbul, Athens, Rome, Paris, England, Scotland, Germany. A wonderful trip. I learned much.

Margaret Monteiro, 1915, added greatly to the pleasure of our stay in Honolulu. She plans to be present at the 50th anniversary in 1965.

1915 Secretary MRS. WILMERL. O'FLAHERTY ( Celeste Anderson) 3603 Moss Side Avenue, Richmond 22, Va. Celeste has a cottage for the year "down the river" and so Frieda Dietz is delegated to report for two classes. Direct report on Margaret Monterio is at hand in color slides brought back by Ethel L. Smither, who visited Margaret in Honolulu for a month. Margaret is in wonderful condition, lives in a charming house in a compound of four homes, and she is leading the life she loves in "retirement" and as a recently elected Phi Beta Kappadoing for others and being "done for," as experienced by Ethel in the many luncheons and parties given by Margaret's friends. Margaret is hoping to come back for a visit in 1965.

"Sup"-Louise Reams Hundley, Mrs. E. D., of 1401 Grady Ave., Charlottesvill-is slowly recovering from a second eye operation and hopes are high that this will be completely successful, as the first operation brought complications. Her son, John, is reading her mail to her, so, write!

Irene Stiff Phillips is happily dividing her time between Jean's and Sid's children, Sidney, Jr. having moved to Richmond. Irene visited relatives in West Virginia.

Frances Glassell Beale, '17, held Celeste and Irene spellbound for two days and nights, and Frieda during a luncheon, at her Bowling Green home, relating her European adventures with her daughter, Louisa Brown McGahey of Charlotte, N. C., and Bessie Graham, Norma Throckmorton's sister. After trains and buses on the Continent, they hired a car for the British Isles and "Ezy" drove. Frances is planning her annual houseparty for "us girls" the last weekend in October.

Celeste had a three-day, two-night houseparty at her Rappahannock cottage, Sept. 10-13. On

Friday the thirteenth they had the good luck to lunch with Florence and Dr. Henry Decker at "Warsaw Farm," Ayletts. Henry has recovered so happily that he commutes to and from his Richmond office daily.

Kathleen Bland Cottle, '16, has moved into her newly-built little house on the same bank of the York river across from West Point.

The home she and her late husband, Ralph, built when he retired from his career in California, is now occupied by Kathleen's retired brother and his wife from Chattanooga. Kathleen is helping her two sisters care for another brother, invalided for about two years. She finds time to do much work among the young people in her church and to be active in garden and literary clubs.

Louise Goepfarth Schaaf is in "seventh heaven" -for the first time in years, all of her family had a week together in hers and Bernard's home. Their daughter, Mrs. Wm. J. Depten and husband came on with two children from Evansville, Ind., and their son, Bernard, Jr. was here with his wife and two children from New Jersey. Also, Louise's late brother Karl's daughter, Mrs. Wendell Snowden with her husband and baby visited en route from Duke University to Colorado.

Helen Monsell, '16, reports a most enjoyable summer. She taught her class in children's literature at the University of Richmond summer school and is teaching the same subject at R.P.I. this autumn.

I-Frieda Dietz-had a splendid seven weeks in Europe in the Spring with a small group of perfect travelers and I am planning a 1964 "Follow the Springtime" in either the Holy Land and Egypt or Europe again. Meantime, for ten months a year (my sister Norma Mackay takes over for two months in the Spring) I care for my invalided 94-year -old father .

Of the distant members of the Class of '15, we have no special news, nor of the only two others of '16, Stella Carden in Pittsburgh and Elizabeth Hutchinson, last heard from in Washington. We did hear that Constance Morenus and her husband are in Atlanta, teaching. If Mary Delia Smith and Sara Thomas read this, please report to Celeste.

1924 Secretary MRs. GuY BEALE (Hilda Booth) 8513 Hanford Drive Richmond 29, Va. I have contacted as many of our Richmond girls as I could reach to glean a spot of news for you.

Virginia Clore Johnson said she didn't do anything exciting herself but was thrilled that her husband had the distinctive honor of entertaining the U. S. District Court Clerks' Association for the entire county.

Mary Peple spent most of her summer sewing, textile painting, and racing the birds to the fig bush, plus taking a trip to Doswell to visit Wilhelmina Wright.

The highlight of Wilhelmina's summer was a journey to Harpers Ferry and Roanoke.

Virginia Gregory and Mary Anna Powell recently visited Inez Hite for a couple of days.

I had the pleasure of being with them in Margaret Carlton's home. Such fun we had chattering up a storm of back news.

My big news is the birth of my first granddaughter in Korea. Of course, I won't see her until about the first of next year-can scarcely wait!

Gene Edmondson Barney reports that both she and Don have had major operations in the last few months. Both of them came through fine and have spent the summer recuperating and catching up the time they missed while sick.

Gene says that she has a new grandson. This is the second son of her daughter. This seems to have been the summer of operations. I, too, had one the last of June and though I got along without any trouble I spent the rest of the summer getting back to normal. It was just a matter of "taking it easy" as the doctor said and that is what I just love to do.

Please write me some news. I didn't get down to Richmond and vicinity this summer so I know very little of what is going on.

This is "news" that should have reached you in the last issue of the Bulletin, but better late than never . . . . There were eleven present June 7th at the class reunion dinner at the Country Club of Virginia. Elizabeth Wheeler made all the arrangements, and I understand it was a lovely affair.

Those present from Richmond were Douglas Gee Baldwin, Jo Mallory Cosby, Henrietta Harrel Smith, Anne Walker, Elizabeth Darracott Wheeler and Elizabeth Shaw Burchill. Those from out of town were Mildred Harrell Clinkscales of Norfolk, Virginia, Olive Messer Lewis of Tappahannock, Virginia, Emily Cudd Creal of Spartansburg, South Carolina, Augusta Straus Goodwin of Virginia Beach, Virginia, and Barbara Dejarnette Bagwell of Halifax, Virginia.

At the luncheon June 8th Mildred Clinkscales, Henrietta Smith, Emily Creal, Elizabeth Wheeler, Elizabeth Burchill and Mollie Fleet were present. Mollie attempted to attend the dinner the night before but got caught in a storm-she made the luncheon, we're glad to say.

As you must know, it is a struggle to gather "news" of our class for the Bulletin. We're hoping, when you read this little bit, you will take pity and want to contribute something for the next issue . Don't be bashful. We are really interested in the activities of you and your family.

1963 GRAD TO BRAVE JUNGLES ON MISSIONARY ASSIGNMENT A 1963 Westhampton College graduate has a job that will take her into the depths of Latin American jungles where she will face wild animals , fierce jungle tribes, sickness and disease.

Mrs. Coral Mears, a slender blond in her late thirties , has been accepted as a literacy teacher to one of the remote Latin American tribes for Wycliffe Bible Translators, Inc. The Wycliffe teachers are trained to live with the jungle savages, learn the tribal tongue, and translate onto paper. With the major step of writing a literally unwritten language, the teacher translates the Bible, and the tribe is on its way to civilization.

Mrs . Mears will go in February to Wycliffe's Jungle Camp in Southern Mexico , where she will spend three months learning

how to build a hut and furniture from mud , sticks and grass; how to swim and canoe expertly; how to cook and preserve food.

She will hike daily, with the last hike through 25 miles of jungle-going at only a moment"s notice with only what is on her person at the time .

After the Jungle Camp she will v1s1t a missionary friend in the Huixteco tribe in Mexico . She will stay there a few weeks and visit some of the Indian tribes in Guatamala before going on to her own assignment.

More than 4,000 teacher-missionaries have graduated from the Wycliffe school since it was started in 1934 . Graduates are at work in 25 countries under mission boards of 35 denominations .

Holden Slipek reports on the wedding ; "Guy is associated with Trans-Copy Business Machines and moved to Richmond from Philadelphia about three years ago. Dr. Sadler, assisted by the minister of the church, performed the ceremony. Henrietta looked lovely in a pale pink dress and flowered hat. Her sisterin-law, Mary Harding Sadler, was her only attendant. Mayme O'Flaherty Stone played the organ for the service. Puff Poteat Humbert kept all three of Henrietta 's children while their mother honeymooned in New York. (Besides teaching at George Wythe, teaching a night class in English at RPI, getting engaged and married, and moving to a new address21 Willway Avenue--Henrietta has also written the course of study for the Richmond Public Schools in the humanities this summer.)" It was through the Slipeks that Henrietta and Guy met. Surely we all rejoice with them and wish them every joy. We are also glad that Dr . Sadler is recovering nicely from his heart attack; many loving thoughts and prayers have supported him.

1942 Secretary

Mas. BERNARDCLINE (Esther

Wendling)

6933 Greentree Drive Falls Church, Virginia The most exciting news came from Jimmy Franklin Rudd. Her letter told about Peggy Vicars Early's son, Steve (14). As the winner of the Twin Valley Spelling Bee, he won a week's trip to Washington to participate in the National Spelling Bee. In addition he won a $75.00 cash award and a set of Encyclopedia Britannica. Steve was 19th in the nation-congratulations! Can't you just imagine how proud Peggy and her husband must be? You all can read about it from the clipping I have sent to Louise for the scrapbook.

While we are on the subject of children, Jimmy 's boy, Anthony, 13, who is 6' I½" was named the "Outstanding Player" in the Community Junior Basketball League sponsored by the Norfolk Recreation Bureau.

There must be lots more "star" children.

Won't you share your proud moments with us? Stamps are only 5¢-what better use?

1 had a nice letter, too, from "Woodsie", Virginia Wood Hawkins ('41), who was planning ·10 look up Jute on her Californ:a tri p this summer . She read it in the Bulletin-so you can see how really worthwhile this chatter is. She and Peggy Vicars are neighbors in New Hope, Va .

Lucy Burke Allen Meyers wrote about her busy summer. She and her sister, Pat Allen Winters ('48), had a month's tour of Euro pe.

She came East from California and had a whirlwind visit in Richmond beforehand. They flew first to England (wouldn 't Miss Lutz be

[26]

happy?) and then on to Brussels . From there they took a bus tour of the continent. It was a conducted tour with an English courier. He had never taken a group of Americans before , so you can imagine how baffled he was with 38 U. S. types. Lucy Burke said they used their French on the bus driver-(who spoke no English) but not with any degree of success.

They enjoyed Germany, particularly the boat trip down the Rhine, and were charmed with Switzerland and Australia . Her comments on Italy were a riot-there they were hot and sticky and dirty and had to pay for a bath.

At 300 lire (or 48¢) how many baths can one afford to take a day? In Rome Pat could only rent one knob to the shower as the bath maid refused to rent both. You guessed it-the water was icy cold-ah-the luxuries of home.

After this adventure Lucy Burke returned home to 17 Hilltop Drive, San Carlos, Californ ia, and a 2 week stint at Brownie Day Camp. Th e Meyers also had an AFS student visiting from the Philippines for 12 days. Such stamina! She also said that Margaret Brittingham Curtice , '41, the real spark plug of the San Francisco Bay area alumnae, has moved to southern California. You girls will just have to join forces now to keep up her good work. Jute, Lila Georgie Simpson, '43, et al, take note. ' If this column sounds like a travelogue-well-La Verne and Cal Muse are having an autumn holiday motoring thru Europe. Their boys are safe at home, and in school in Ar(ington, b:i~g cared for by V~rginia Lee Priddy, 37. V1rgmia Lee says shes having a real whirl in Washington, doing things she's never had time to do . Beverly Priddy, '54 and "Dimple" Mrs. Priddy plan to come up and get in on the fun, too. LaVerne had planned a day to day driving itinerary . With their own car, they should be able to see a lot of inbetween areas. At this very moment they are in Rome. Wonder if they have any hot water?

Kay and Bob Crutchfield and their family are as busy as ever. We visited them in Virginia Beach early in the summer. It has now been decided that they will not move to the West \oast, but only go out for special times, as Bobs duty demands. Kay will be hostess m?st of next s1:mmer. whe~ Bob's new frigate ~ill be based Ill Cal1forn1a-San Diego . Bob 1s at "Pre-com " now at Camden, N. J . You owe me a letter, Kay! Woul~n 't it be fun to know where you gal s are sendmg your college bound children? Yes , we are old enough for that . Do let me kno w -and this includes the "broken arm" girls, too!

Richmond 25. Va. Maxine Williams Rogers has sold her house and moved into a lovely new apartment complete with air conditioning and a swimming pool. She says she is delighted not to have the care of a house and yard and the children are thrilled with the pool.

Harri~t Lewis Goodman is anticipating a busy wmter . She has ben elected Recording Secretary of the National Council of Jewish Women and is President-Elect of the Woman 's Auxiliary to the Richmond Academy of Medicine. Wow! Louise Cardozo Long reports that since their vacation at Sandy Point in June she has been busy with the usual summer activities, and her boys won three tennis trophies. They are not the only tennis stars-Puff Poteat Humbert 's girls both won tennis tournaments in New Hampshire this summer. Puff says that they had a lovely summer in New Hampshire, a visit with Betty Anne and George Shackleford in Hartford, and now that she is back she has a very pleasant teaching schedule at Collegiate this fall.

Pepper Gardner Hathaway is engrossed in plans for the new house they are building this winter.

The Blacks had a wonderful two weeks in New England in June-so much to see and do that we are ready to go back again.

Hope I'll have more news for you next time .

How about a card?

1944 Secretary MRS. WILLIAM B. GRAHAM (Mary Alderson) 8015 Mapl e Lane Richmond 29, Va.

If no news is good news everyone in the class of '44 must be doing fine! I hadn't heard from a soul when the deadline for the last issue came and I was busy getting ready for an unexpected trip to Sea Island, Ga., so I didn't have time to contact anyone .

Our class baby, Barbie Stansbury, is going to William and Mary this year. Doesn 't that make you feel old? Ann was in a dither when I talked to her, trying to get Barbie ready to go. Barbie was a counselor at Scout camp all summer until Aug. 20th so they didn 't have much time for shopping, sewing, etc. Ann and Warren are trying to get a permit from the city to build a new house but due to various complications it has taken a long time.

Ann is very anxious to get started on it. She said she had seen Ann Fisher and her children during the summer.

The big news from Billy Jane and Ballard Baker was Ballard's appointment as one of the Henrico County Judges this past summer . I was sorry to hear that Ballard's mother died very suddenly in the summer . Billy Jane, Ballard and the children took their vacation at French Lick, Indiana . They went out on the train and Billy Jane says the thing the children enjoyed most about the trip was sleeping on the train.

The Filer's have had a very busy summer.

Ann and the boys spent 10 days touring Virginia with Bob while he was doing a survey for the Bishop of the Diocese of Virginia.

Then they took a 2 week trip to Palm Beach, Fla. They stayed in a lovely motel there and visited Miami and Ft. Lauderdale. Then they spent a week in Philadelphia . Ann and the boys spent 2 days touring the Franklin Institute there which sounds like a fascinating place. In between trips the Filers have had a summer full of company. And last but not least Bob was made a full professor at the University of Richmond.

Mary Bowden Felger 's husband, Ted, has been working for an electronics plant in Charlottesville, but has made the plunge and gone in business for himself as a manufacturers representative.

Dee Dee and Bill Kirk and their children spent their vacation at Lake Winola, Pa. Dee Dee's mother and father and Harriet and her family had cottages there also which made it very nice . They did lots of boating, swimming and fishing. Fleet caught 123 fish! Dee Dee and Bill went to a graduation in N. C. and spent the night with Evermond Hardee Daniel which they thoroughly enjoyed.

Millie and Skee Goode have just returned from 2 weeks at Cherry Grove Beach, S. C. Enders and Jean Neasmith Dickinson and their 3 children went with them for the first week and some other friends came down for the second week. Millie said the weather was beautiful and a grand time was had by all . Courtney had an emergency appendectomy the week before they left but she got along fine and they left on schedule . The Goode family took a long 4th of July week-end trip to Virginia Beach with us on our boat, which we all enjoyed.

The Grahams have had a busy summer spending almost every weekend on the boat.

Then in August our family and another family,

who are friends and neighbors of ours, chartered an 84' schooner out of Nassau and sailed in the Bahamas for a week . We drove to Ft .

Lauderdale, sightseeing on the way, then flew over to Nassau from there. It really was quite an experience for all of us. Maybe we'll bore you at the reunion next year with all our slides of the trip.

Please let me hear from you out-of-town people by the first of December.

1947 Secretary

MRS.JoHN C. HORIGAN(Mildred Daffron) 4636 Stuart Ave. Richmond, Va. Most of our news this time is about vacations. It seems that they were all delightful but not lasting long enough.

Shirley Davis Sanford and Lena Thornton Small combined their families for a trip to Nags Head, N. C. Shirley is returning to teaching school this fall.

She has been teaching music in an Arlington school for the past ten years but resigned this spring to go into private piano teaching. Several summers ago she took a musical tour of Europe with Temple University.

They attended several music festivals.

Elsie Minter is returning to Stetson University, Deland, Fla. this fall. Her position will be that of Chairman of the French Curriculum within the Dept . of Foreign Languages. She spent six weeks this summer in Europe conferring with government and university officials concerning setting up a Junior Year Abroad Program. They hope to have students in both Spain and France during the 1964-65 Academic Year . She is also working on a manuscript for publication.

We have two new children to welcome,: The McClennan's (Frances Coles) are proud to announce the arrival of William Elliott, III, born May 16th. Bill has been teaching a course at Union College in Geology-an eight week N .S.F. program.

Mary Cox Anderson and Bill are the proud parents of a daughter, Jane Rutledge, born in January, 1963. This makes four for the Anderson's, two daughters and two sons .

I had a delightful letter from Betty O 'brien Yeats. Joe returned from Vietnam the first of July. They had a few days at Blowing Rock, N. C. and then began the trip to their next assignment . While still in N. C. they stopped

in Winston-Salem and saw Gertrude Wayne Chandler and her family. (She was with us our freshman year.) Her children are quite grown, a boy in high school, a fourteen-yearold daughter, and another son, 10. Her husband is a vice-president of a furniture firm in Winston-Salem.

Joe, beginning August 7th, is attending the Command and Staff School of the Naval War College in Newport, R. I. Their home address is 7-B, Van Buren Rd ., Newport, R. I. They live just a block from the Bay and from a bluff they can watch the destroyers and aircraft carriers go up to the base .

Betty writes that Newport is charming, with its display of wealth on one hand and Colonial history on the other . There are some pre -revolutionary homes and buildings and even some quaint, narrow, winding Cobblestone streets .

On the way up they spent a night with Marie and Claude LeSieur. Betty reports that Marie's baby is precious and that Carey and her own Katy had a grand time together .

Dottie Hughes Freitag and family spent some time in Richmond this summer . Dan went to England to read a paper at an Engineering Society Meeting . Dottie and the children, G eorge, Mark, and Susan drove on here. Mar y Lou Massie Cumby had a W . C. get-together for her during the visit. Upon Dan 's return the famil y spent several da ys sightseeing in Washington and then to Iowa to vi sit Dan 's parents befor e returning to Vicksburg .

Marion Collier Miller and her boys had a wonderful vacation in Nassau. John planned it for them . This summer she also took courses at the U. of R. in preparation for a Master's Degree in the future.

Gin Ellett spent the summer in Charlotte sville taking a chemistry course at the U. of Va. which will be helpful in her teaching job .

Jean Waldrop spent a camping vacation with her sister and family .

At the swimming pool dedication (it is a perfectly magnificent structure) Betty and I saw Anne Elliott. She was with us part of the time at W. C. One of the plaques was dedicated to her aunt . Her son and Gu yon Cumby are in the same grade and room in school.

The Andrews enjoyed trips to Luray and Natural Bridge this summer . Dick ha s been going to summer school at Universit y College taking Economic Theory . Her Marcia enters the fourth grade and Richie , the kindergarten this year. That will leave just Ma rgaret at home .

Izzy Ammerman Allin and Jay have moved their family into a new home at 7917 Lycoming Drive in Riohondo Hills in Richmond, Va. Anne Higgins Borger wrote that they had spent all summer attending weddings but are planning a trip to Ohio to visit Dan 's famil y.

1948 Secretary Mas. JARVISENNIS (Doris Moore) 1772 Old Buckroe Road Hampton, Virginia

The reunion was really a success with twentyfive girls celebrating. It was wonderful to see what everyone had been doing for the past few years and with whom. Sarah Bishop Wilbourne had her hands full taking care of all the details. She had a wonderful week-end planned and I'm certain everyone appreciated all that she had to do to get the details ironed out before our arrival.

We had dinner Friday night at the Willow Oaks Country Club. Some girls were able to attend this affair but they could not be with us the entire week-end. They were: Janice Conant McCoy, Margaret Elliott Ownby, Russell Elliott Wiley, Virginia Herndon Pugh, Wilma Lum, Jackie Pitt Suttenfield, and Mary Jane Spivey Snead. The three scrapbooks were surveyed with nostalgia.

Others of our number were out at the college on Saturday morning enjoying the activities which officially opened the swimming pool. Emily Holland Lineberry and Flip Orrell Dunn came in from Fredericksburg. Millicent Hutcherson Taylor and I continued to hang on through the festivities. Luncheon was served in the gymnasium with a few songs sung to refresh our memories of the hours spent singing at Westhampton.

Peggy Stone Cunningham was hostess at Overhill Lake which she and her husband run.

It was a nice family picnic with plenty of food and fellowship. The children and husbands loved the miniature golf and driving range. I remember seeing Suzanne Lovern Peeler and Eleanor Pitt Rowan at this event.

We were so delighted to see everyone again, but those coming from long distances deserve a special word. Doris Vickers Hall came in from Wilton, Conn., Jo Hoover Pittman and family came from Clinton, Miss., Dottie Lloyd Stine and family came from Trenton, N. J., Elsie Keyser Robinette from Matairie, La., and Norma Polk and her husband came from Pokomoke, Md. Finally, we were grateful to our Richmond girls who acted as hostesses. Margaret Sabine Brizendine came the shortest distance since she and Jack are back on the campus this year. Jack is teaching at the University. Pat Adams Woodhead and Mary Cross Marshall helped with the scrapbook which is a big undertaking. Others who we enjoyed visiting were Jean Brumsey Biscoe, Alice Goodman, Betty Hickerson Butterworth and Joan Johnson Sandidge.

Some of our number could not attend. Virginia Kreyer was attending the Baptist World Youth Conference in Beirut, Lebanon. Emily Smith Powers had all her plans made and at the last minute she had her third baby. It is a smiling girl whom they named Page Petty Powers. This is the third child Jack and Em have given a home.

Jean Brumsey Biscoe and Johnny are also the proud parents of a son. Jean bragged so about their new heir that some of the girls went out Friday night to see him and almost had to spend the night due to a bad storm.

Betty Hardin Elmore was not at reunion, but now I know why. She and Jim are the proud parents of Mary Elizabeth, born August 19. A girl at the haven for boys is a big treat.

Judith Barnett Seelhorst had the best reason, I felt. She and her husband run an "Egg Farm" at South Shores, Ky. When we were having a good time, they were receiving 10,000 baby chicks to raise.

Doris Vickers Hall is like a rolling stone.

She has made five moves in five years. At reunion time she was in the process of moving from Conn. back to California.

Pat Parlow Daniel seemed the saddest. She and Dave had built a dream home in the rolling hills of Conn. Dave was offered such a nice position with Ketchum and Co., wholesale drug distributor, as Executive Vice President he could not resist. The move takes them to New York City. Because of this fact, her boy and girl are going to boarding school to avoid the city schools.

Many of you wrote similar facts of PT A, scouts, piano lessons, and the like but Jeanne Carlton Bowman summarized it so well. She said her life was full. The community didn't know she existed because she was activities coordinator for her family. They got out and participated in the community and received the laurels while she stayed at home and kept up with their schedule.

1949 Secretary MRS. WM. K. BARKER (Barbara Rhodes) 1700 Chadwick Drive Richmond, Virginia

With this issue of the Bulletin I am beginning my duties as your class secretary. As you know this is our reunion year! I will be calling o'n many of you for help during the year as group leaders and the Rich~ond gir~s in particular as members of the reu01on ~ommitt~e.

Vacation time is over and everyone has settled down for the winter. Betty Evans Hopkins reports that she had a wonderful vacation at Virginia Beach and enjoyed every minute of it.

Ann Morano is teaching mathematics at St. Gertrude's again this ¡ year.

Rosie Calhoun McCarty and Jack are building a new home in Marion, Virginia and Rosie hopes that by the time you read this she will be all settled.

I have two new additions to report this time.

Kitty Wyatt Townes and Bill welcomed the arrival of Tommy in March. Cynthia Patrick Lawson and Jack welcomed baby number four, Cynthia Amory, on July 8, 1963. Cyn says that after all those boys a little girl is a delight.

Jack is a surgeon in Newport News and is Chief of Staff at the new Riverside Hospital there.

Jane Sanford Jennings writes that she is already involved in a busy schedule for fall. She teaches pre-kindergarten four days a week and a class for housewives in slimnastics. Jane also reported that Martha Kenney was home in Aiken for two weeks this summer. Martha spent most of the summer at San Jose State taking some needed courses. She traveled through California and the Southwest and took in all the sights. She returns to the Virgin Islands to teach again this fall.

With the opening of school my days have become quite hectic. I am chairman of the math department and teach classes in first and second year algebra and trigonometry at Tucker High School. Guy, my youngest, started to school this year, and Gail is in the third grade.

Gail is becoming quite a dancer. She plans to take classes in tap, ballet, and jazz modern this year. I still haven't given up my dancing

No?) In May they took the children to Gettysburg to the Fantasyland Park and when they were about half-way through they " ran into" the Kennedy children .

Caroline and Joyces' Steve are about the same age and Steve had been wanting to meet her, so he was especially pleased. The twins weren 't impressed at the time, but now when they see pictures of Caroline they are! In July, the Codys vacationed in Maine.

Lucie will be teaching at a school 12 miles out in the desert this year and her class will be the brightest second grade children of the White Sands moon scientists. Jack and Lucie have joined the Rock and Cactus Society and the Texas Western College Cosmopolitan Club.

Please cooperate with these girls when they contact you. Many reported that they received no response to their cards.

Jane Willcoxon Councill had a coffee for Gayle Mepham Hensley who came to Richmond for the day. Gayle, Ray and the children were vacationing in Williamsburg with the Mephams.

Pauline Decker Brooks, Kay Beale Coates, Methyl Young Bruce and I enjoyed seeing Gayle.

I learned from Methyl that Nancy O'Neill Camden and Donald welcomed a boy on July 1David Barnes. On July 24, Mary Beale Coates was born, Kay and Carter being first time parents also .

Some of you may not have heard why Marietta was not at the reunion. She and Howard have a third daughter-Mary Todd, born in May and a new home. Faye Kilpatrick Gillespie also missed the meetings because of the imminent birth of her daughter, Rebecca Gail. This is the Gillespie's third child. Arthur,

III is in the third grade and Mary Ann is in kindergarten. Faye has a new home, too. They are located near Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill in a new park-type development.

Janet Johnston Parsons' twin daughters had their picture in the Richmond Times-Dispatch recently. They were helping their Grandmother Johnston celebrate her retirement as regional director for World Book Corp. Janet heard from Sue Bentley Joseph who has been teaching swimming for the Red Cross this summer.

Marietta's husband and Ed took the Joseph boat up the bay for a week. The Parsons, all seven of them, went to St. Louis to visit Ron's mother .

Betty O'Bannon Culp says they are ready to start another year at Rutgers. Helen is enjoying her many playmates around their new home.

Betty passes on the news that Ola Hill Krueger's husband, John, is pathologist at Lee Memorial Hospital in Fort Myers, Fla. Catherine has just started school and Marianne and Beth help Ola around the house .

Jackie Gustin Boeh wants to hear from anyone who has Grace Williams Grizzard's new address. Jackie ran into Bill Carter and learned that he and Ginny and Jenny are back in Roanoke. Bill is new public relations director for Hollins College. According to Jackie, Jenny is a beautiful baby with big, bright eyes. Also returned to Roanoke are Betty Davis Cocke and her family. One of their boys has Charlotte Herrink Jones for a teacher. The Boeh family took a hot trip to Nebraska ( 110 in the shade) to visit Virgil's grandmother. His parents came from Oregon for a family reunion. Lisa is a snaggle-toothed kindergartener and Jackie is teaching Latin to 8th and 9th graders. Another teacher is Barbara Watkins Beale who has been going to summer school at Mary Washington College and is teaching high school at Bowling Green .

Page McCray Miller 's report tells of Ruby Vaughn Carson's trip to New York in July with Don and the boys . She had a nice visit with Barbara Cawthorne Clarke ('52) in Philadelphia en route. Mary Hurt Winslow left Len and the children behind and flew to Cedar Rapids for a visit with her sister, Betty . She stayed a week and met Len in Washington. On the way home to Charlottesville, they stopped for an overnight visit with Barbara McCraw Persons and Newtie in their new home. Mary says their home is truly lovely and has every gadget and convenience known to man. Mary also spent a w eek at the beach and a weekend in the mountains . She and Len are building a two-story colonial house in Charlottesville.

Page and Jimmy attended the Bar Convention at the Greenbriar in July and had a wonderful time. In August, they spent a weekend at Virginia Beach and later had the Persons visit them.

Betty Lear took time out from her teaching to come to Richmond for a couple of weeks in August. We suite-mates got together for lunch at the Lears ' and caught up on summer activities . Betty is still in Newport News and shares an apartment with Shirley Mason who is doing guidance work along with her high school teaching. June Pair Carter, Mann and the girls went camping at Fairystone Park. She had said she would never do it again after last summer's init ial experience, but when the time came, she was off for the open spaces. It sounded like fun and we may look into it for next year, leaving bottles and diapers behind.

Bobbie Warren Reardon spent some time at the beach and her parents' home in WinstonSalem. Traveling with four youngsters is not conducive to long distance trips. I know. We went to Philadelphia with our three and, al-

though we enjoyed our visit, I am sure we won 't be going again any time soon. Bobbie has two children in school and two at home; June has a first grader and one more at home; and I have a kindergartener and two boys at home .

I had a surprise call from Jane Cather about 9 A.M. one particularly gray day. The unexpected pleasure really picked me up and made my day. Any time you all feel like calling long distance, I'll be delighted to hear from you . That is the pleasure of this job-hearing from so many of you. I look forward to more news in December.

1955 Secretary MRS. ZED J . WAMPLER,JR. (Jody Weaver) 6307 Colebrook Road Richmond, Virginia 23227 My hat's off again to my wonderful group leaders who have managed to dislodge all sorts of fascinating news from some of our long lost classmates, and many thank s to those of you who keep in constant touch .

A data-ful card from Jo Earnest Holzer just missed the last newsletter, but she sent news of her daughter Elisabeth (Lisa) Howard Holzer, who was born May 6, 1963 and the fact that husband Edwin Howard Holzer is a vice-president of the William Esty Co ., an advertising agency in New York, where they live at 411 E. 53rd St. 6A. Dr. Maritza Garrido McManus is now a re sident of Tarzana, California, at 5715 Geyser Avenue . Husband Basil finished hi s residency in anesthesia in Oct. '62 and is now in private practice. Their rented home in the San Fernando Valley contains " all th e Southern Californi a necessities of life" (to quote Maritza), a pool, patio, bar-b-q, etc. Last March the y spent ten days in Hawaii! Maritza also said she had a private reunion over lunch at a Los Angele s department store with Hope Guaraldi Omohundro .

Another of our Californians send s news of a new baby . Angela Groth Guenther and Dick welcomed Lynda Ann on August 8, 1963 to join their two boys, "who are delighted, bu t wish she was bigger!" There are also tw o more future Westhamptonites to rep or t, Anne Susan Diamonstein arrived July 18, 1963 at the home of Arthur and Renee Gartner Diamon -

stein and a "Bang-up 4th of July" announced the arrival of Denise Ann Prillaman co Martha Minter Prillaman and Dennis. This is their second girl, after big sister Rebecca Lynn who was 4 on June 19 and Marshall Lewis who was 3 on June 26. Just think of all those birthday parties! Martha is going back to teaching at Fieldale High this year and will teach Academic English IV, which is designed to better prepare college bound students for the rigors of freshman English. Martha also reported her Alumni Bulletin from Bluefield College contained an excellent picture of Margaret Gore Swanson and Jean Williams Lumsden . They had both attended Alumni Day and both were elected officers of the Alumni Association.

"Let's Travel" seems to be the class motto this year. Our Number One Trip Taker Alice McCarty headed west again for one fast but fun-filled week. She visited Tacoma, Wash., Victoria, B.C., Portland, Ore., San Francisco and Los Angeles, where her brother was taking part in the Billy Graham Crusade. My tongue's hanging out just talking about it. In July George and Pac Minor Aldhizer flew to Los Angeles, met Ann and Sam Taylor (both U of R '53), and the four of chem toured ?outhern California, using the Taylor 's home rn Santa Ana as home base. They were only twenty minutes from Disneyland, which Pat described as "unbelievable" and amazingly clean and sparkling, considering the thousands of daily visitors. They took in the Laguna Beach Arts Festival, saw the old Mission of Capistrano (where the swallows really do come back!), saw Betty Hutton in "Annie Get Your Gun" at a brand new theatre-in-the-round, and then, as if chat wasn't enough, Pat and George headed north to San Francisco to an Elks convention.

They drove up the California state highway # 1 where the mountains drop directly into the Pacific, a trip which Pat says was "literally breathtaking when you're in a rented convertible and every five minutes you see a sign DANGER SLIDE AREA." Sounds a bit scary to me . They loved San Francisco, the people, the stores, the climate (60's in July), the Japanese Tea Garden, etc. Pat called Jackie Levy Mayer and she and Fred took Pat and George to Broadway in Frisco, the former street of opium dens and the like which is now filled with small clubs frequented by college students.

Fred has his own pharmacy in Sausalito and is, according to Pat, a completely delighted person. The Mayer household also includes David 3½, Heidi 2, Charles 7½ months, and Duchess (the dog, a small pony), and their address is 587 Thornwood Terrace, San Rafael, California.

Another traveling couple, Earle and Jean Ruddle Migneault have hit north and south. In May they visited Gracie Mason Evin and George in Atlanta, where Gracie is working in a Federal Health Lab and George manages a shoe store, and in July they vacationed in New England .

Last spring Jean spent a week in San Francisco and a week and a half in Washington, D. C. at IBM meetings. When not on the go, they both work at NASA with computers. Jean has been teaching a 5-week course for new people in her section and so far has had several Westhampton grads in her classes.

Coming back to Virginia, Alice Creath McCullough and her boys, Mark 2½ and Winston 15 mos. spent three weeks here while Piggy was playing in the Midwest with the Warren Covington band. While in Detroit he stayed with Van and Sue Smith Van Wickler, who just moved there in July when Van 's company, Maritz Travel Co., transferred him there. Their new address is 2356 Liverpool Rd., Auburn Heights, Michigan. Also up in the cold north, the Henry Hahns (Marjorie Moeschler) have moved again, the third time in three years, and they're still within the city limits of Rochester, Minn., this time at 108 12th Ave. SE. Henry's getting his Masters in Pediatrics and Marjorie's still saying "This is the last year!" They were in Richmond in July, but just for a short time.

This summer also was moving time for Arnette Kizzia Neuville and family when Bob was transferred to Norton, Va. They expect to be there about 18 months while Bob is handling the traffic part of the cutover from manual to dial telephones for Southwestern Va. Their address is 1017 Virginia Ave., Norton, Va. Last May Al and Beulah Thorson moved to 915 W. Fozcroft Drive, Camp Hill, Pa. where Al is area representative for the Double Envelope Co. Beulah and the children visited her family in Roanoke for a week in August while Al did his time with the Marine reserves.

Carlene Shuler Saxton and Harry expect to be moving into the Richmond area since his promotion in the Dept. of Agriculture so maybe we'll be seeing her soon. She did some substitute teaching lase year but want s to teach fulltime now since her boys Tom 8 and Michael 4 are older now . Mary Ida Nelson Bolton is heading into her 6th year of teaching, 3rd grade again, and she also sent word of a nice visit with Margie Blevins Alexander at Myrtle Beach in August. To quote her, "Margie is just the same, cute as ever!" Mary Ida also confirmed the fact that Pat Kantner Knick has received her MA degree. Any details, Pat? More vacation news. Marty and Blue Tinsley were at Sea Island, Ga. in June, Peggy Armstrong Clark and family visited Ginnie Swain Saunders and family and all then headed to New York for some sightseeing. Myra Embrey Wormald and her family rented a cottage on the ocean at South Bethany Beach for two weeks in September for their first "real vacation" in quite awhile. Polly Bundick Dize and Colburn brought their two oldest for a thorough visit to Jamestown, but stopped in Richmond only long enough for lunch.

There are two local address changes: Bobbie Reynolds Orrell (Mrs. J. D.) 9305 Edson Rd ., Richmond 29, Va. Ruth Gouldin Kelley (Mrs. Roland E.) 120 Westmoreland Ave., Richmond, Va .

Zed and I spent a glorious weekend in Roanoke in June at the Miss Virginia Pageant with several ocher couples from the Ginter Park Jr .

Woman's Club. Our Miss Richmond placed 4th which pleased us all . Two more short weekends, one in Washington for our 4 year old to see the zoo, and another at Virginia Beach, which included a fast ferry ride and trip up the Eastern Shore to Ocean City, Maryland have accounted for our whole summer.

Nancy Johnson White and the children are back in Richmond, for an indefinite period of time. Her address is 3004 Elmbrook Rd . Another slight address change locally is Phyllis McGhee's, just a new number, so it is now 4206 Silbury Rd. By the way, Phyllis left September 13 for a trip to the Bahamas, about which she was quite excited, and who can blame her?

Janet Pace Burbage and family have recently left Richmond and moved to Raleigh, North Carolina, where her new address is 1012 Ravenwood Drive.

I've heard rumors that Mary Ann Logan Mongan is now back in Salem. Confirmation, please, and new address. I'm still trying to get final addresses for a class address list, but you gals are such movers that I can't seem to pin you down. It will be forthcoming soon, anyway.

Again let me say how thrilled I am at the response for news. Please keep it coming and I hope to see some of you at Homecoming.

1957 Secretary MRS. GEORGEM. BALL (Margaret Logan) 25 Omaha Avenue Rockaway, New Jersey One of the pleasures of this job is that everyone who reads the Bulletin knows where I live.

Because of this, George and I had a nice surprise in July-Mary Loving Bell Kirby and Jim dropped in on their way to Maine for a camping trip. They are living in a small town in South Jersey, near Philadelphia. Jim is an insurance broker-his own company-and their recreation includes flying around the country in their plane, with Jim at the controls. The Kirbys have an adorably chunky two-y ear-old daughter who looked ready for anything, including the wilds of Maine.

Judy Twyford Davey and Jim have a son, Bruce James Jr., born June 15. Lynn, four, and Laurie, three, are delighted with their brother, and Jim, who used to call his family "my harem," looks forward to masculine support.

Since last December, Bettie Lew Warren Hudgens and Neil have been living in the new house they had built for them in Mobile. Neil is in law practice there, and Bettie's part-time teaching at Spring Hill College blends in perfectly with domesticity and care of their son Lew, who is almost two. Address: 3770 N. Rhonda Drive, Mobile 8, Alabama.

Peggy Graves Butterworth writes that Dick, having graduated in June from dental school, is now in practice with another dentist in Petersburg. Peggy, Dick and son Richie are living in Dinwiddie. They enjoyed a recent visit from Jennie Jo Fyock Tignor and Milton. The Tignors had been visiting in Richmond, afterwards setting off for Florida to see Jennie Jo's family.

Next home for this well-travelled Air Force family is Fort Sam Houston, Texas.

Kitty Alford Connor and Gale and their two children spent part of their summer vacation in Ocean City, Maryland, and part with Gale's family in Johnstown, Pa. Mary Katherine Davis served brunch to Brandy McDaniel and me when Brandy was in New York during July. We then went to see Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Luckily, we had time to gab before the performance, as the play is overwhelming, to put it mildly. Brandy was able to do lots of theatregoing while she was up here.

Nancy Bertsch Ratchford and Bill welcomed Linda Bertsch May 18. She is their first child.

Nancy says she was born with lots of hair which she has now abandoned in favor of producing teeth.

Congratulations to Sallie Trice Greene, who has been elected G. A. Director of the Etowah Baptist Association. Besides caring for home, hearth, and three-year-old Gayle, she teaches the college class in Sunday School and also performs all the other tasks of a pastor's wife. All it takes is fantastic efficiency!

Her address there is Graduate Residence Center, I. U ., Bloomington, Indiana.

1958 Secretary MRS. G. L. HOLDER(Sarah Ashburn) 7711 Stuart Hall Road Richmond, Virginia The change of season finds most of us settling down to a more routine schedule.

The three concerts originally planned turned out to be six. She spent time in London, Stuttgart, Heidleburg, Salzburg, Swiss Alps, Ireland, Denmark, Venice, Bern, Switzerland, and Boston. Jeanne Jones is another world traveler who reports that the Scandinavian countries are far more beautiful than anything she can describe.

In August the officers and a planning committee attended a luncheon at the home of the president. Entertainment for new and returning students in the form of a coke party was planned and an agenda for the year was adopted. The coke party was held on September 7 at the home of Elizabeth McRae Dudley with fourteen students attending .

Our first meeting will be October 29 in the Lakewood section of Norfolk at the home of Helen Caulfield Ballard. We are planning a fine arts program. Our speaker is one of our own alumnae Elsa Wallerstein Gerst. Elsa has exhibited in various juried shows and is one of the Tidewater's most dedicated artists. She will speak on some phase of modern art and has generously offered one of her own paintings as a door prize.

Our other officers are June Hodges Myers from Chesapeake, our vice-president; Felice Abram Stern from Virginia Beach, our secretary-treasurer and Page McCray Miller from Norfolk, our telephone chairman.

Because our chapter encompasses the large area of Portsmouth, Norfolk, Chesapeake and Virginia Beach organization is somewhat difficult . However, we expect to increase our active membership and look forward to an interesting and fruitful year.

CHARTER HESLEP (Continued

father, from the great teachers at the University, and from his initiation as a reporter on the Richmond Times-Dispatch under the noted editor, Robert Ford.

Charter 's love for the land of his origin and his University abided throughout his career. Just ten days before his death he discussed with a friend his ideas on the University of Richmond's future. He felt that the glory of its past was but earnest of greater lustre in the world of scholarship.

Not his comprehensive knowledge or driving personality, however , but his basic goodness and kindness, his penetrating understanding, his concern for all his friends, make it incredible that he does not still live among us. All that capacity, that great heart was at our service. Even though absorbed in his family , working constantly and painstakingly on plans to help each of his children and his wife attain the best within each of them , he found time always, from these concerns and from countless week-ends of speech-writing or planning for the Atomic Energy Commission, to help a friend with a broken wing or limping leg.

His advice on such occasions was firm and salutary, disguising the numerous phone calls and contacts made on their behalf behind the scenes.

The life of Charter Heslep was as far from Walter Mitty's dreams as it is possible to get. He probably did not understand the world of illusion which burdens mankind . Eugene O'Neill and Edward Albee meant little to him. His world was not a stage, and yet he saw in photographic brilliance its foibles and fun . His was a circus world when he saw the funny side of man- or a world of Mark Twain with the lamentable weakness of man and his peculiar activities etched in bold relief.

These observations he would relate with affectionate gusto as he sat at the head of his board . The latest political and government or world-affairs jokes were never better related . His character descriptions were perfection . He dominated the conversation usually by force of his genius for talk, but with glowing geniality . Those who also loved to talk would stop to listen. And how breathtakingly exciting the tales of events from his life- his reportorial experiences of the police blotter, the Truman Campaign of 1948, the scoops of interviews and of epic broadcasts at the San Francisco Conference forming the United Nations; the Geneva Conferences on Peaceful uses of the Atom- and many more .

Charter was the spirit incarnate of the epic surges of history in our times .

- Curtis W. Garrison, '23.

Mrs. LulaWoodward The news of the passing of Mrs. Lula A. Woodward brought a sense of personal loss to hundreds of old grads of the 1930's and 40's who visited the refectory three times daily.

"Mrs. Woody," as she was known by all the students, served as dietitian for Richmond College from 1927 to 1942. Before coming to the refectory, she had managed the food service at George Wythe High School.

No wonder this strong spirited woman lived to be 91 ! To those of us who knew her in the early 40's, she seemed to have only succeeded in getting a fair grasp on middle age. Yet, at that time, she was in the midst of her second career, having been a homemaker for thirty-eight years. Her husband , the late George S. Woodward, died in 1927 .

Their marriage was blessed with five children, one of whom died in infancy . Another son was killed in World War I. The oldest daughter , Annie, is married to Mr. David D . Eanes, president of Rountree Corporation in Richmond. The next daughter, Louise, is Mrs. Richard Tutwiler. The only living son, Edgar, is Bursar of Mary Washington College at Fredericksburg.

Those who worked at the refectory were known as Mrs. Woody's boys! I had the privilege of being her headwaiter in 1942-43.

This unusual woman radiated a certain charm throughout her domain, the dining hall. Freshmen found a mother-away -fromhome in her. She was interested in each individual and sought out the little bits of information concerning family, home town, and food favorites. The students griped about the provisions made for them then as always, but no boy went away hungry. Mrs.

Woody was concerned about a balanced diet for young customers whose desire for food was far more insatiable than their quest for knowledge.

She was also concerned about a balanced budget for the refectory! Every new waiter was given careful instructions about the proper way to fill a glass of milk. "Never let the milk get less than three-quarters of an inch from the top!" she would caution.

Then, with a sly wink she would confide, "I save the college a hundred gallons of milk per month with these instructions!" Mr. Bob Stone used to say that if every staff member watched pennies like Mrs. Woody, most of his problems would be solved.

This good lady could look a crisis straight in the eye. A special group of trustees was being served one evening . A thoroughly shaken waiter brought her the awful spectacle of a rusty nail extracted from the baked potato by the Chairman of the Board. Mrs. Woody's reaction was, "Get him another one. He'll have to blame Mother Nature for that, not us!"

Tom Yeaman ('30), now an executive with Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company, shared a touching experience he had with lVIrs. Woodward when he was her headwaiter, 1929-30. He needed a new suit for graduation and she came to his rescue by lending him the money to buy it. Tom, in a fitting tribute to her, said recently, "Mrs. Woody was deeply concerned about her students . They did not always appreciate her, but in her mind and heart they belonged to her in a very special way."

All of us who knew her thank God for what she fed us and taught us !
