HOMECOMING Homecoming weekend will offer th e returning old grads a varied program ranging from a Business School br eakfast to a Sports Forum, from a memorial service to a Homecoming dance. And, of course, the color will be provided by a good University of Richmond football team , that is making great strides forward under th e tutelage of a softspoken Georgian, Frank Jones . There will be the usual Homecoming parade (bigger and better, says the Parade Marshall).

A young woman who rode at the head of the parade just five years ago when she was Homecoming Queen and a former Spider football player are the Homecoming Chairmen: Elizabeth Wampler Jarrett, '62, for Westhampton; James M. Frye, '53, for the men. Both are emphasizing

th e Saturday afternoon and evening programs which will be celebrated jointly, beginning with the Homecoming Lunch at noon in Millhiser Gymnasium with Alma Mater host to her rehuning sons and daughters. At th e reception at th e John Marshall Hotel following the game, the old grads will have an opportunity to witness University students as they perform in the nationally televised "College Bowl" over NBC ( Channel 12 in Richmond). ·westhampton women will begin their Homecoming observance with a tribute to a woman who was smilingly in the midst of many Homecoming celebrations prior to her retirement. The memorial service to Caroline Stookey Lutz will be held in the Reception Room of Keller Hall.

HERCLASSROOM HAD NO WALLS

****

Caroline Stookey Lutz

1889-1967

by MARY GRACE SCHERER TAYLOR, '42 The catalogue listed the class in the conventional manner: "American Literature ( prerequisite English 201-202 )Miss Lutz."

The seniors who signed up , all veterans of 201-202 , discovered at onc e that the catalogue was misleading. The course was certainly not conventional, and American literature was m erely a point of departure on an adventure that spanned the ages from th e b eginning to th e "now. " There was no mistake, however, about th e professor. Only Miss Lutz could have set such a pace.

I cannot recall events of that September day in 1941 when we innocently climbed the four flights , secur e in the comfo rt of our senior status. Perhaps we carried standard notebooks , foolish en ough to expect a neat chronological survey, complete with lectur e notes and assignments that could be finished.

Awareness came gradually as we read "Leave s of Grass " on th e banks of th e Jam es and studi ed The Mahabharata in th e Lutz apartment to th e accompani ment of Ori ental music and raw cauliflower. The final exam took place over a picnic supp er that last ed lat e into the night. Today , some 25 years later, I kno w that th e course can never be measur ed by semester hours and quality points. The class is not yet dismissed; th e assignments still are not finished.

Caroline Lutz' classroom had no walls.

It was a studio, a workshop, a resource center which encompassed th e univ erse.

Literature was not the writt en word , pr essed properly into periods. It was man, in infinit e din1ension , expressing his divinity through all time . Miss Lutz pion eered the quest to th e realm of truth and beauty. Those who followed learned that the search began with creation and had no end.

She was small, a miniatur e splashed with vivid color and accents of unusual jewe lry. The hat was aloft , the cape rippled behind her. The visual image was distinct. And the ear? What new sounds did you hear the day it was raining and the class assignment was ten minutes to listen to th e rain as it fell on the slate roof?

SHE LOYED ALL 300 OF THEM. The puppets in her hands are par1 of a group from Shokespeare 's Othello. There are more than 300 figures in her Wor ld Puppet Collection which will be housed permanently in the Fine Arts building.

Total recall is not required to bring back the sophomore exam break. Somewhere in the midst of Chaucer, Spenser , Shelley and Milton, she stood up, admonishing the class to do likewis e. Instructions followed to stretch and look out the window. Beyond the Tower Room th e pines stood sentinel and the horizon reached to an unknown beyond.

Suddenly , she reached into her cape to bring out a bright red handkerchief with giant polka dots. Solemnly she directed th e class to focus their eyes on this clearly irrelevant object. The pace was changed; tension was relieved; th e weary travelers returned to Canterbury with renewed vitality.

In a very real sense, the climb to the Tower was hardly a step, compared to the ascent which followed. At times she

[ 4]

was far ahead, beckoning us to join h er on some distant peak. Again, she was close by , putting an unsure hand in hers , patiently showing the way. At other moments she was among us, gently provoking us to "try it" alone. Never did she lag behind to push. Always , by her own examp le, she demanded that we be genuine.

Honesty was th e Lutz hallmark. Heaven help th e student who tried to get by, glibly quoting excerpts, book reviews, or popular digests. If the inquiry was valid, the source must be authentic and the effort must be total involvement.

The terse note on a term paper, "rewrite and correlate," was a constant reminder that improvement requires self discipline and perfection is not attained without diligence.

Perfection Her Goal There was never any doubt about the destination. Perfection was the single goal. From each student Caroline Lutz wished to draw but one thing ... which was everything . . . our own best effort always. Anything else was inadequate; indeed, nothing less was acceptable.

Long before 'identity" was a campus crisis Caroline Lutz s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d her stud;nts by teaching each girl as an individual. As a master teacher, her sole aim was to help the student discover self. Tirelessly she sought that one talent, that unique ability. Once she uncovered it, she enco urag ed, nourished, provoked and challenged. And one day-the student was no longer afraid; she became aware that she, too , had something of value to give to her fellow man.

Miss Lutz was asking nothing of us that she did not expect of herself. She had come to Westhampton in 1917, soon after the trio of Dean Keller. Fanny G. Crenshaw, and the lat e S~san M. Lough. Her bachelor's degree from Goucher College and her master's from Columbia University were only the initial accomplishments in a lifetim e of scholarship .

In 1921, she returned to her native DeC'atur, Illinois, where she taught at Millikin University while she cared for her mother during a long terminal illn ess.

In 1927, she came back to Westhampton to remain until her retirement in 1959.

It was a tenure marked by creative teaching. Seminars and group dynamics was unheard of, but she never used any other teaching method. Students were people. She made th em into poets. Puppets were playthings. She made them into people.

It was Miss Lutz who founded the University Marionette Studio in the thirties to establish puppetry on the campus as an authentic performing art. With characteristic adaptation and ingenuitv she breathed life into wood and soul into clay . Students became artists who vvent forth to far-off places , using their craft to entertain thousands.

The puppet population which lined the walls or trod the boards was constantly changing, but from time to time it boasted lit erary greats, as well as campus personalities. Among the favorites were Dean Keller, complete with hairdo, "Neighbor" Pinchbeck, smoking his pipe, and the University of Richmond Spider, fearlessly on the move.

Future generations of students will learn to know Caroline Lutz from her private collection of puppets which she donated to Westhampton. The collection, numbering more than 300 puppets with global geneologies, was assembled dur -

ing her travels and through years of association with international enthusiasts.

These "friends" presently reside in temporary quarters in South Court, await ing their permanent home in the Fine Arts Building now under construction.

Even outside the classroom-Caroline Lutz left her signature. Campus policemen remember that her most lethal days behind the wheel occurred when she was driving in iambic pentameter. She, herself, never denied that her automobile moved to the rhythm of whatever poem she was reciting as she threaded her way along the winding campus roads.

Beyond the lak e she lent her talents to a number of organizations. She served on the boards of the Woman's Club, the Altrusa Club, the D.A.R. , the Goucher Alumnae Council and th e Y.W.C.A. World Fellowship Committee. She also

was a member of the May L. Keller Chapter of Pi Beta Phi Alumnae and served on the fellowship committee for foreign women teachers sponsored by Delta Kappa Gamma.

Even when the final stages of cancer forced her to leave her apartment and her cats early this year and go to a nursing home, she continued to teach. This time the lesson was in courage. Aware of her condition, she followed the progress of her illness with her customary scholarly curiosity. At the same time she maintained an avid interest in her friends and welcomed each day that she could share in their joys and the world she was leaving.

It took death on August 8 to terminate the long teaching career of Caroline Stookey Lutz , but it did not write an end to what she taught: Truth is timeless and beauty breathes eternity.

So They Say Edited by JAMES A. SARTAIN The Society of Alumni recently sponsored a series of Convocation programs for the students and faculty of the University of Richmond.

Three outstanding alumni spoke on topics associated with their profes sions. The speakers were Elmer B. Potter, chairman of the department of Naval History of the U. S. Naval Academy; William H. ReMine, associate professor of surgery at the Mayo Graduate School and head of a section of surgery at Mayo Clinic; and Otis Brown, director of the Virginia Department of Welfare and Institutions.

Let The Facts Speak Professor Pott er, the author of "Chester William Nimitz, 1885-1966," reminisced about his friendship with Admiral Nimitz. He pointed out that Admiral Nimitz came from a ba ckground of p overty and that he was utterly devoted to the Naval Academy because it gave him his opportunity for a college education. Potter characte riz ed Nimitz as a brilliant and talented man with out standing administrative ability. At several times during his career he was offered top executive position in several large corporations, but he chose to remain in th e navy and to devote his life to the servi ce of his country.

Professor Potter and Admiral Nimitz worked togeth er on an article, "Sea Power: A Naval History," published in 1960. Potter remembers Nimitz as a man dedicated to his work and who alwa:,~ had a word of praise for thos e who did their jobs well.

Professor Potter , admitting at the outset that he was a hero worshipper and that Nimitz was this hero , sketched a fascinating word pictur e of the commander of American forces in the South Pacific . He characterized Nimitz as a man resemb lin g "totally committed" George \iVashington in "int egrity , honesty, and dir ectness ," although lacking th e "grandeur" of the first president.

Nimitz was called to his Pacific command after the devasting attack on Pearl Harbor and planned and direct ed the attacks that led to th e defeat of the Japanese . He was careful, however, to leave tactics to his officers aboard th e ships.

T erming Nimitz the "architect of the Japan ese defeat ," Potter explained at some length th e strategy that led to American victories at Midway and in other Pacific engagements.

In add ition to his qualities as a mil itary strategist , Nimi tz was a friendly person , able to "comm uni cate directly"

Medicine vs. Morality?

Dr. ReMine chose as his topi c "Moral ity and Medicine." He bri efly reviewed the great scientific and technical advances mad e in medicine and surgery since th e turn of th e century. He men tioned the development of the wide varie ty of antib ioti cs, the typing and cross -mat ching of blood , the administration of intravenous fluids and th e transplanting of organs. He perhaps surprised some in the audience by asserting, "The technological advances in recent years have dev elop ed so rapidly th at th ere are very few areas left to challenge the medical pioneer." '"By tradition," Dr . ReMine pointed out, "th e care of patients, medical education , and research ar e the three main objectives of the medical profes sion." He feels , however , that it is essential that some members of the medical profession maintain an active interest in solving "medica l problems related to socia l and econom ic factors that have developed in our country in recent decades." The technological advances of the past few d ecades have given rise to a new set of problems that muct conc ern us all. "For it is in this area of dilemma that morality and m edicine must come to grips with one another ," h e said.

Dr. ReMine set forth a number of moral problems that must eventua lly b e faced bv the medical profession.

The death rate has decreas ed so rapidly and the "world population is increasing at such a rapid rate that one wonders point will be when the saturation reached." He predicted that the medical profession "will some day b e confronted with the problem of how best to de liver th e benefits of the medical achieve ments which are now available to the population as a whole." He is also con cerned about the potential misuse of pills and drugs and fears that this may "bring about legislation preventing th eir

Stem the Tide N ot only must more money b e poured into welfare payments , but services must be provid ed to raise the welfare recip ient to a leve l of b eing self maintained , Otis Brown , '56, the young director of Welfare and Institutions for th e State of Virginia told the students.

Brown told of several plans in the future of the 66,000 p ersons in Virginia who receive some type of welfare. Among these, he said "Virginia will place in the future great emphasis on provid ing facilities and program to stem the tide of rising juvenile d elinqu ency."

In addition to the "halfway house" where a juvenile without a hom e can have a place to live under supervision, Brown said he would ask 4.7 million dollars from the next General Assembly to build a Youth Correctiona l Center.

This would be the "first new major institution estab lish ed within tbe depart ment's division of corrections in 21 years," Brown said.

He said that the deparh11ent is asking for funds to begin study of constructing a separate receiving and diagnostic cen ter for adults who come into the syst em.

Brown said his department deals with "Virginia's dejected peopl e," and told the sh1dents of those involved , be said , in the "struggle for human dignity.'' He said tbe struggle involves tbe 2,500 juv eniles committed to the State each year for care and custody, 5,700 adu lt inmates in prisons , and an additional 3,500 per sons in local jails.

Turning to another area, Brown said he was "amazed" at the misconceptions and la ck of knowl edge'' that people have of governmental activiti es, particularly in the area of social service.

"There is a general feeling,'' Brown said, "that )!Overnment , by necessity, must be inefficiently administered and therefore, b y necessity , is something bad."

He defend ed the state government as honest and said efficiency can come

SpiderGridmen3-2 After Five Games

**** ThreeConference FoesDefeated For a team which one national pub lication picked to lose all of its games, Coach Frank Jones' surprising young Spiders are doing fine. At the midpoint of the season, Richmond had won three of its five games , rolling up its highest point total since 1959 in a 42-14 romp over Furman. The youthful eleven ( 26 sophomores on the squad) had staged a great comeback the week before to stop Davidson, 24-17, and had upset V.M.I. , 3-0, for its first win in the third game of the season. And all of these victories came on the road .

Jones calls Split End Walker Gillette, a 6-4, 193-pound newcomer from Capron, Va. , "the finest end in the Southern Conference. " Gille tte made clutoh receptions in all three victories and after five games had 30 catches for 407 yards.

He appears destined to set new school records in the pass catching department in his first season .

After Fu rman had . corPd nn <> 29-";ncl nass from Quarterback Clyde Hewell to End Robbie Hahn, the Spiders came back stro1w. Snider Quarterback Buster O'B rien, who has comp leted 50 of 103 passes for 619 vards, connected with tosses of 34 and 10 yards to set up the score by Halfback Joe Kellum, a ju nior college transfer from Rockville,

mo nd's third TD had come on a three yard run by O'Brien after End Gene Van Calder of Beloit , Wis. , had re covered a fumble on the Paladin 25.

Sophomore Linebacker Pat Turchetta of Holidaysburg, Pa., took matters into his own hands in the third quarter. He intercepted a pass and ran it back 25 yards for a touchdown, recovered a fumble and made numerous tackles.

Richmonder Jim McKenna tallied th e Spiders' fourth touchdown on a short run following a 40-yard punt return by Sophomore Jim Crenshaw of Weir , Miss.

Jones used reserves the latter part of the third quarter and all of the final period. However , the Spiders scored once more. Guard Bob Haggerty of Pomp ton Plains, N. J., recovered a fumble on the Furman 18 and Half b ack Rich Devito of South Plainfield, N. J., tallied.

Md. Richmond shot ahea d , 14-7, on a 39-yarder from O'Brien to Gillette . At the half the Spider pass -catching star had five recept ions for 102 yards.

Jones, however, didn't need Gillette in th e second ha lf although Furman had scored just before intermission to cut the Spiders lead to 21-14. Rich -

One of th e features of the game was the punting of Mike Bragg , a sen ior from Falls Church , Va., who averaged 50.1 yards on six kicks. Bragg kicked six extra points to set a new school record in that department. Mike is one of the nation's finest with a 43.3 yard average for 34 boots.

Once the Spiders got to the V.M.I. one-yard marker and couldn't score.

Linebacker Wayne Collins, a senior from Prince George, was a standout against the Keyde ts. He was credited with 12 tackles and three assists , knocked down a pass and threw runners for losses several times. Crenshaw, Tur chetta and Middle Guard Dick Irvin , a sophomore from Hastings, Fla., also played fine defensive ball.

After five games Collins leads the defenders with 59 tackles and assists.

Defensive Tackle Dave Delgado of Dover, N. J., has 51 and Irvin 52. Safetyman Dennis Wiley, a senior from Trout ville, Va., has 40 and Cornerhack Win ston ·whitehead, a sophomore from Jacksonville, Fla., 36.

The Spiders trailed Davidson, 17-7, at the end of the third quarter , then scored two final period touchdowns and a field goal to whip the Wildcats. The Spiders scored first on a nine-yard pass from O'Brien to Kellum, but Davidson evened the score on a five-yard TD pitch from Quarterback Jimmy Poole to Greg Cox. In the third period the Cats' John Giles kicked a 30-yard field goal and then Davidson moved 10 points ahead on an eight -yarder from Poole to Cox. Bragg kicked a 22-yard field goal for the Spiders in the fourth period and tied the score at 17-17 on Fullback Mike Dussault's 18-yard romp. The Wisconsin lad's run climaxed a 49-yard march which featured the running of Kellum and Mike Bixiones of Rock ville, Md.

The Wildcats blocked an attempted field goal by Bragg late in the game.

However, Davidson's Steve Butler furnbled when tackled by O'Brien and Gillette recovered on the 46. O'Brien hit Gillette with key passes of 16 and 14 yards and Kellum took it the rest of the way ( 11 yards) for the winning touch down with just 1: 52 left in the contest.

Field Goa l Win s

Bragg, son of former Spider backfield star Eddie Bragg, kicked a 26-yard field goal with only 1:04 showing on the clock to upset V.M.I. O'Brien had connected with Gillette with four passes, one of 40 yards, in a drive which set up the winning three-pointer. Gillette caught nine passes during the afternoon to tie a Spider single game record.

It was a rugged Southern Conference

[ 8]

In their opening game of the season the Spiders bowed to West Virginia, 27-6. The Mountaineers recovered five Spider fumbles and blocked a punt to halt Richmond which moved within the WVU 35-yard line on seven occasions only to have its offense sputter.

Richmond's lone touchdown came in the fourth period on a 71-yard punt return by Bixiones.

Ken Juskowich , the Mountaineers' kicking star, booted field goals of 40 and 38 yards. John Mallory ran back a punt 77 yards for a score and WVU tallied on a pass and the blocked punt deep in Spider territory.

East Carolina, which had defeated William and Mary the week before , toppled the Spiders, 23-7, in the second game of the season. Two lost fumbles and a pair of interceptions hurt the Spider cause. Richmond's lone score came on a two-yard run by Bixiones.

Fullback Butch Colson tallied twice for East Carolina and Tailback Neal Hughes threw a touchdown pass to Dwight Flannagan . Don Tyson kicked a 24-yard field goal against the Spiders.

Delgado was credited with 11 unas sisted tackles and six assists against the Pirates. Crenshaw blocked well on offense, made seven tackles and inter cepted a pass.

FRESHMEN

Coach Jim McGinnis' freshman eleven captured its opener from Chowan Jun ior College , 19-7, but dropped its secgame to the East Carolina freshmen, 29-19, despite a total offense of 403 yards.

Fullback Jerry Mauro scored on runs of five and 15 yards against Chowan and Quarterback Charley Richards threw a 14-yard scoring pass to End Roger Hoos. The Baby Spider defenders, led by End Harry Norris and Tackles Richard Williamson and Bob Na lli,

stopped Chowan inside the UR 10 on three occasions.

Three pass interceptions and three fumbles hurt th e Baby Spider cause in th eir game with the East Carolina frosh. Richards completed 15 of 26 pass es for 224 yards and Tom Brok enshire hit on 10 of 16 for 122 yards.

and to "maintain simplicity," said Potter.

Even after his retirement from the Navy, he remained much in demand as an advisor.

Death came after a fall from which he never fully recovered . He is buried at the Golden Gate National Cemetery beside the Pacific among thousands of men who had served with him.

Perhaps even after the lust er of his military triumphs has dimmed some may remember the words of advice he gave Professor Potter, words that should be taken to heart and cherished by all historians. Said Nimitz to Potter: ''Give all the facts fairly and objectively but don't draw the conclusions -l et the facts speak for th emse lves."

production, thereby denying to those patients who badly need the benefit of these drugs an opportunity for proper treatment of their disease."

The physician is also confronted with decisions regarding the allocation of certain scarce items such as the arti ficial kidney. Who should receive the use of these machines? How long should the treatment be continued? Who decides to stop it? Dr. ReMine states the problem in these terms, "To my knowledge, I know of no physician

today who is willing to assume this responsibility since it is our moral obligation to keep patients alive for as long as possible."

He also raises the question of the management of diabetes and other congenital defects. Many of these defects can be corrected surgically and the diabetic can be kept in a normal state.

Both groups can then have a long and happy life . But an appreciable number will reproduce more of the same. Should this be encouraged? If not, then how can it be resolved? And most important of all, who will resolve this problem?

Dr. ReMine concluded by saying, "It is highly probable that in the future the temptation to compromise our integrity may be extr emely great, and should be guarded against at all costs.

For compromise is like a cancer; it slowly eats away and destroys the soul, and it is obligatory that we never sacrifice our integrity. For once it is lost , the painful process of regaining it is, for the most part, overwhelming. The moral obligations of living today in our modern social structure are even more difficult to adhere to than ever before. Never before has mankind had access to so many benefits and advantages which have the ability to destroy us as well as make life more wondrous when used properly."

about by improvements within the "framework of operations that have been developed through the years.''

He urged the students to take part in th eir local state and federal govern ments and to understand what needs to be done. And, he said, there is a "great need to dispel the theory that you have to be at least 60 years of age, retired and economically independent before you are able to serve your state or local govern ment."

He continued: "Certainly I can only urge you here today, regardless of the walk of life that you anticipate, whether it be teaching school, industry, or private affairs, that in the very beginning you make up your minds that you are going to be a part of your government."

DO WE HAVE YOUR CORRECT ADDRESS WITH ZIP CODE NO.

esthampton News 1917The joy that I get from being with We sthampton friends has been abundant this year.

In addition to the wonderful 50th reunion weekend, I have had visits from Mabel Crabtree , Anne-Ruth Harris and Ruth Elliott Trice.

In June Helen Monsell ' 16 and I went on a live week trip to the northwest. We traveled by plane , boat , bus and train without missing any connections. Some high points of the tour were visits to Crater Lake and Mt. Hood in Oregon , Mt. Rainier in Washington , Banff National Park and Lake Louise in Canada and Glacier National Park in Canada and Montana.

The boat trip up the inside passage to Alaska was a four day scenic wonder. We had stops at Ketchikan , Juneau , the capital , and at Skagwa y where we rode the 1898 narrow gauge Gold Rush train.

Then we had a 3-day, 954 mile bus trip to Anchorage without a traffic light because there was no traffic . We viewed damage at Anchorage from the 1964 earthquake. Later we felt a tremor while in Fairbanks. We had a sternwheeler boat ti·ip on the calm Chema River which went on rampage later in the summer and caused disastrous flood s.

We panned for gold at the A-67 fair and rode in a chair lift up a high mountain. Our most daring experience came at Pt . Barrow where we saw the frozen Arctic; walked on tundra while snow was falling ; wore parkas a nd mukluks everywhere; and rode in a dog sled. You must go to Alaska!

MRS. GORDO N BARLOW ( Glad ys Holl eman ) Rt . 2, Box 88, Smithfi eld , Va . 23430

1921Our class m ay have been unique in having pairs of sisters- Josephin :e ( passed away) and Alice Williams ( Spring Bulletin ) ; Stuart ( who was graduated) and Liza Everett ( who was diverted by what seemed to her were more intriguing activities than those of a degree).

Of our live cla ssmates in the spotlight of this Bull etin , four are widows with grandchildren , one is a bachelor girl.

Francis Vaughan Faglie (Mrs. Francis Folsom) , writing from Mexico City , closes her summar y of the highlights of her life with this inspirational account : On December 31, 1964, I resigned my job , so that I might spend whatever years were left me pursuing a way of life that seemed more important to me than earning a living . I promised myself , God willing , to treat myself to visits to far-off places for a part of each year and to give at least half of each year in volunteer work.

So in 1965 , three week s after my re signation, I took a trip around the world b y ship , visiting Australia, New Zealand , the Fiji Islands , and H awaii for a long sta y.

F rancis recounts that , in the fall of 1965 ,

she and Virginia Lane ( Spring Bulletin) fulfilled a promise they had made to each other years before and tok a glorious hike through th e White Mountains of New Hampshire. "We climbed to our hearts ' content each day. " Last year Francis worked in a charity medical clinic in Taxco, Mexico, for six months.

Then she had a marvelous trip to Peru and Bolivia, again satisfying a life-long dr'eam of seeing Machu Pichu and the glories of the Inca civilization. Now Francis is in Mexico City , doing translations in English , of letters ( to sponsors), of children who are in Salvation Army orphanages.

During the 20 years prior to her retirement, Frances was employed as a statistical researcher and analyst by the Presb yterian Board of Christian Education. During vacations of these years , she traveled-all over the United States , in Canada, and numerous trips into Mexico.

Mountain climbing has been a monthly pursuit through all the years. In fact , Frances' ambition in college was to obtain a degree in physical education , but Westhampton offered no such de gree at that time. She therefore left school and taught English and Latin in rural high schools in Virginia and North Carolina, with the idea of earning the wherewithal for Oberlin. Instead of Oberlin , in 1925 , she was married and fm 20 years, reared her family of four-three boys and a girl who have presented her with five grandchildren .

The exhilaration of Frances ' life comes through her own words: "I have never felt that I could qualify as a professional climber, but Christmas Day of 1963, I did climb Mt .

Malinche in Mexico , 14,600 feet. Actually I didri 't make the last 600 feet, as it was shale and only a name dropper would have taken that risk. And the biggest thrill I got out of the feat, as I lay there on the rim of that long-extinct volcano gazing up at the prettiest sky I ever saw , was the knowledge that, on Christmas Day just three years before, I had come through 11 hours of surgery, with 5 doctors using all of their skill and effort to save my life , in an op eration that m•ade medical history ."

Virginia Newbill Rawls (Mrs. P. E.), living at hom e in Mechanicsville, Va., is serving in the capacit y of substitute teacher. As this Bull etin goes to press, her only child , Dr. John Ashburn Rawls, general surgeon in practice with Dr. Charles Byrd in Richmond , goes into the service , expecting Vietnam assignment. In the tradition of today , Dr. Rawls' wife is a career person in a related field -medical technologistand they are rearing a family-a son and a daughter.

In 1962, upon the loss of her husband , Virginia assumed for two years the manage ment of the family business - electrical applian ces, plumbing and heating After college , Virginia had returned home to look after her father. She also taught in the high schools of Loudon and Essex counties .

CAROLINE S. LUTZ

At six o'clock , Friday evening , November 10, th e friends and admirers of Miss Lut z will gather in the Rec eption Room of Keller Hall to reminisce and pay tribute to a great teach er and b e1oved friend .

Gifts in memory of Miss Lutz are being received for the Caroline S. Lutz room in th e Fin e Arts Building. Th e fine collection of pupp ets which she left to the Univ ersity will b e displayed in this room .

Throughout the years , she has been active in church and civic associations - president , secretary, and treasurer of the Pamunkey Woman 's Club; president and secretary of PTA. In 1964 she visited ten other countries.

This spring , in her travels abroad, she rented a Volkswagen bus and drove through the countryside to really see the people as they live .

Myra Elizabeth Elsea lives with her sister in the metropolitan area of Washington ( Arlington, Virginia) during the winters ; and at her home p lace in Berryville during the summers. In 1942 she received her Master 's Degree from George Washington University (D.C.).

Elizabeth has remained in Virginia except for traveling through half the states of the Union, Canada, and Mexico; and has devoted 39 years of her life to the education of Virginia youth by teaching in the pub lic schools .

Her field includes physics, chemistry , and high school mathematics.

During her 15 years in Suffolk , she was head of the science department, in 5 of which she also coached the girls basketball team. A year in Yorktown High School and 16 years at the WashingtonLee High School in Arlington concluded her teach ing career. For several years she had taught in Victoria and in Berryville.

Ties with her large family-four brothers and three sisters-and with her spacious home place where she gardens in vegetables and flowers, have been determining in her life.

As for career choice, Elizabeth reminds us that on our graduation day, ladies didn 't have much career choice. If the opportunity had been hers, she might have chosen science laboratory or research. However , her first love has been mathematics.

She is enjoying a more leisurely life these days. In July 1958 she was in an auto-

mobile accident that hospitalized her for 2 months. Although she returned to teaching, in 1961 she was back in the hospital, and retired that year. The TV, radio, and the press still keep her world pretty large.

Stuart Everett Moseley ( Mrs. George Gretter) lives alone in her late husband's home city of Columbia, S.C. Following marriage, she and her husband , who was in the insurance business, lived first in Dallas , Texas, then in Greensboro, N.C. To establish a business of their own, the Moseleys selected Columbia.

First it was insurance, then an automobile agency.

She has two daughters, both of whom are married.

Daughter "Winkle " (Ann)-the Arthur Lees with their two sons and two daughters-lives in Richmond.

Daughter Stuart-the In man Ellises with their son and daughter-lives in Mobile, Ala. Stuart Everett Moseley wishes her family , including those six grandchildren ranging from two years old to twelve, lived nearer.

Through the Junior League, she has assumed her civic responsibilities. While rearing her family, she was active in PT A. Summers are spent in the mountains or at the beaches.

It was in June of '66 that she suddenly lost her husband, from heart failure.

Eliza Everett Darden (Mrs. George Franklin) lives in Williamsburg. She has just returned home from the University of Richmond summer tour abroad-Paris, Rome , Athens, Corinth, Budapest, Vienna, Berlin , London , Ireland.

She is highly enthusiastic about the people who conducted-Kitty and Cecil Jones and others-and the co•mtries visited. She was delighted that Dr . and Mrs. McDanel were among the troupers. Liza says: "I was most deeply impressed b y the other side of the Iron Curtain.

I have been in Eurooe before but this was my first experience with Communism as a supposedly working institution. As I saw it the Hungarians are a defeated, sad, most unhapp y people-so afraid to be themselves. East Berlin is a show place-though Americans are shown only the things that the Russians want us to see. No more visits to Communist countries for me."

Eliza is a Hostess in Colonial Williamsburg, presiding in costume in the Palace, the Capitol, Raleigh Tavern, Breush House, Wythe House, and Carter 's Grove. "I love every minute, " she says. "C olonial Williamsburg is a great institution."

There is always time for Eliza to be with her family. Daughter Ann is back at Virginia Beach ( where Eliza has kept her hom e), after two years in Coronado, Calif., and her son who will be at the Norfolk Academy this fall is with her. Eliza 's other child, George, has four children.

Trips highlight her years-abroad, in our country, and last May to Alumnae Day with Betsy Camp. Her life is full and interestingfarnily, church work, garden club , and mem ories of a home always full of gay, intelligent young people , when Ann was at Hollins and George at Princeton and then at the U. of Va. Law School.

1922Muriel Sanders had a wonderful European trip last summer. She and her sister Gladys sailed on the United States May 3 and returned on the Queen Elizabeth two months later. They toured Holland, West Germany, Austria , Switzerland, Italy, Monaco, France, and England, and also visited relative s in England. Muriel is now in Canada at Expo '67. I'd say she is enjoying her retirement.

Leslie Booker was in Hawaii this summer when the American Bar Association met there. She stopped in San Francisco for a meeting of the alumnae in the area and was a house guest of Gladys Shaw Daniloff.

Ten days of my three-weeks vacation, I spent in Richmond, visiting Leslie Booker. And what a wonderful time I had! First of all, she invited all my old friends to lunch and bridge; then they invited us! And, of course, I went out to college, roamed around the beautiful place, and did a lot of remembering and daydreaming .

Dinner at Varina-on-the-James with Irene Stoneman was delightful. Irene spent a while in Florida in the early spring. She is in the spacious, interesting house all alone but she fills it with warmth, friends, family. The place swarms with grandchildren.

I flew home to be met by my fifteen-monthsold grandson, Thomas Kent, and his mother, Sara. He and his parents will soon be in their new home just above mine. It is built of antique brick made in 1810 by the slaves on the place. and the family room has handhewn exoosed beams , also made by the slaves.

I'll be living alone when Torn and Sara go into this house, so come, let 's have a class reunion!

Let's get our alumnae contribution to Leslie early. She needs to relax after my visit and she can't relax until we contribute.

I'm back at school now, sunk in files, re-

cords, girls. It's great fun if you have the stamina.

Let me hear from you-and also let Leslie Booker hear from you.

MRS. R. P. ADAMS (Julia Roop) Box 673 , Radford College, Radford, Va .

Hannah Coker and a friend spent three weeks in the Caribbean area this summer.

During their first week the y attended the Casals Music Festival in San Ju an, Puerto Rico. Hannah called it a "mar velous expe-• rience " to hear a man of his age perform so wonderfully. They also visited Barbados, Martinique, and the Virgin Islands; finding the people friendly and interesting.

We were all saddened by the death of Miss Lutz. While she will always live in our memory, we can help perpetuate her ima ge by contributing to a memorial fund now being set up for a puppet room in the Fine Arts Building. Donations are being received by the Alumnae Office, but they should be designated to the memorial.

We extend our sympathy to Josephine Tucker on the passing of her niece, Florence Tucker Gilligan. She was a person of fine character and true worth to her church and community.

For the first time in many years, Lelia Doane did not teach this summer. Ethney Selden Headlee and Olivia Hardy Blackwell went over to Petersburg and had a delightful luncheon visit with her.

Mason of Gloucester in Main Street Methodist Church, Suffolk, Va. They will make their home in Richmond, Va. We are sorry to learn of the injur y of Nat Ward, son of Evelyn Gardner and Pete Ward.

His left foot had to be amputated in Vietnam and he is now at Walter Reed Hospital, D.C. for therapy. His wife has taken an apartment there so she and their son can be near Nat. Our sincere sympathy goes to Marie Davis Deatlehauser who lost her father in July. He died in Hampton after a long illness.

1935It was with sorrow that we read about the death of Miss Lutz. All of us have very special memories of her.

I know you were distressed , as I was, to see the notice in the last issue of the Bulletin of the death of Alice Oberle Harrison. She suffered throughout her life with the asthma that plagued her while in college, and her heart probably wore out from the strain it had endured through the years. Her husband, Arthur , and daughter , Judy, have our deepest sympathy.

Beverly Bates is looking forward eagerly to

the completion of the new Senior Center, of which she is director. Bev enjoyed a rncent visit with Grace Ashton Nichols and Grace's husband and son in Maryland.

Bev reports that Tess Carter Hawkins vacationed in Europe, spending three weeks on the continent and three weeks in England.

Lottie Britt Callis is the study hall teacher at TJ High School-a new position established this year. Her son, Steve, is a freshman at Hampden-Sydney.

Connie Vaden Moore's son, John Rupel, is attending Wingate Junior College in Wingate, N.C. Helen Whitten Adams spends week days in Virginia Beach , where her husband is erecting a bank building, and weekends at their home in Richmond. Helen's husband built the beautiful Ross Building in Richmond.

Billy Rowlett Perkins is a full-time graduate student at the University of Virginia, fulfilling requirements for hours and residence toward a doctorate. Her youngest is now in the Coast Guard.

Betsy Marston Sadler 's son continues his studies at Sewanee ( University of the South).

Betsy and Martha Saunders Ziebe teach at Albert Hill Junior High School.

I was surprised to receive a letter from Rhea Talley Stewart, telling of another trip she was making to Afghanistan, with arrangements being made for her by the Afghan Embassy. She was also planning other travel in Asia. It sounds exciting, and we look forward to hearing about her journey.

1936The Richmond members of our class have had two interesting get-togethers this summer. In July Mildred Crowder Pickels was here for a visit from her home in Atherton , California and Helen Denoon Hopson entertained for her at a luncheon at the Willow Oaks Country Club. For the season, a surprising number of us were on hand and those who enjoyed the "ga bby" session included Monny Bowers , Boo Owens Page , Lou White Winfree, Martha Riis Moore, Frances Williams Parkinson, Lyndele Pitt and your secretary. Millie was very enthusiastic about her work in her home town in behalf of retarded children.

Margaret Bowers is to be married September 30 in the Chapel of Ginter Park Baptist Church to Wilfred G. Gill.

Dot Harrison Enslow was here the end of August on a "flying" trip from Washington State; and while she was here, she and Martha Riis Moore "conjured up" a spur-of-the-moment shower luncheon for Monnie at Martha's home. The only ones they could get in touch with included Boo Owens Page, Helen Denoon Hopson and your secretary. We had a wonderful time.

Martha Riis Moore is leaving her position with the Welfare Department of the City of Richmond and is going with the Virginia State Welfare Department on a work-study program. Under this program, she will receive her Master's degree in social work from the Richmond Professional Institute.

Sarah Covey Hurst and her husband , accompanied by Elizabeth Angle, '37, took an "island-hopping" trip through the Caribbean Sea in June.

Lucy Blackwell Alexander and her husband, Paul, have bought a new home. Her address is 4210 Dunne! Lane, Kensington, Maryland.

1937Summer, 1967, saw a happy event in the life of Peggy Louthan Shepherd, the advent Carroll Anne of her first granddaughter, Clements.

This summer held a highlight for me. It marked my third year in attendance at the Art Workshop sponsored b y the State Department of Education. This has given me an opportunity to meet outstanding personalities in the field of art as well as teachers from ' all over the state.

Each year it is held in a different section of Virginia. This year it was at Wallop Station. It was my first trip to the "outer banks."

Touring Wallop facilities during a count down for a missile firing is an experience I shall not forget. The astronauts could not have been more excited. Of course, the tour ended with an excellent view of the firing.

On Chincoteague Island there was nothing to do but track down the Bebe Farm home of Misty, the famous pony in Marguerite Henry's story, Misty of Chincoteague.

In our quest for hand-carved miniature decoys we met Miles Hancock, a gentleman in his eighties , who owns a turtle farm and carves during the winter when things are dull. He was only one of the many friendly . islanders with whom we chatted.

Across a small bridge and a long causeway is Assoteague Island . This has been turned into a wildlife preserve. Here at close range were the wild ponies , famous stars of Pony Penning Day on Chincoteague. Here also is a bird watcher 's paradise since the marsh lands abound in waterbirds, many species of which were new to me.

In addition to all of this there was the excitement of adding many useful techniques and knowledge of art media to the small fund I possess. From each conference too there have been many practical ideas to take back to the classroom . It is little wonder that I look forward to the next conference with excitement and anticipation.

Now, we eagerly await news from you.

So write me in time to make the next Bulletin.

1940Emma Lou Mallory has asked me to bring you the news this time, but after this issue Maude Smith Jurgens will be class secretar y and you will be hearing regularly from her .

I know I sneak for the whole class when I say how much we have loved having Emma Lou as class secretary and how much we have appreciated her keen interest and her loyalty in doing such a wonderful job.

It is fitting that the first item of news should come from Maude. On August 3 a daughter was born to Maude and Fred's oldest child.

Carol Ann Jurgens Bowen, who you will remember was the "baby cup winner " for the class of '40. The baby's name is Grace Marie Bowen, and she lives with her parents in Christiansburg where her father is working on his doctorate at V.P.I. At the time I talked with Maude she had seen her grandchild a couple of times and thought she was "just great."

Maude also brought news from the west coast. as she and Fred drove out to Los Angeles on a five-weeks ' trio this past summer and visited another daughter, Corliss, who works for I.B.M. They stooped by to call on Elinor Parsons Fish and her family in Van Nuys . In Yerrington, Nevada, Maude and Fred spent the night with Dell and Tony Smith and visited Virginia City.

Dell and Tony 's son is entering M.I.T. this fall, and their daughter, Mabs, who is a member of the Honor Court at Mary Baldwin , had a summer school session at St. Anne's College of Oxford University in England. Her picture with two of her classmates appeared in the August 24th issue of the Richmond News Leader along with an interesting writeup of the girls' experiences and observations on education across the Atlantic.

Another newspaper article of interest to us appeared in the May 2 issue of the TimesDispatch and noted that Mary Sue Carter 's husband, Gene Patterson, editor of the Atlantic Constitution, had won a Pulitzer prize for his editorial writing .

It is with real sorrow that we learn of the death of Evan Van Leeuwen in the early part of the summer as the result of a heart attack. To Jane and to their daughter , who is a student at V\Testhampton , and to their son , we extend our heartfelt sympathy.

Marie Keyser Jordan visited here in the early summer , and my sister, Lois Mercer, and I had the pleasure of lunching with her nnd with Doris Kibler and Janet Manson.

Janet and Bill and their family have moved from the West End and are now living across the river at 3421 Kenmore Road. Janet 's mother is making her home with them.

We are sorry to hear that Bett y Carper Grigg was injured in an automobile accident on June 18 on the way home from Tappahannock. She suffered a concussion, and also is in a cast on her left side from the hip down. But it doesn 't seem to have "gotten her down, " and she is now beginning the fall term at Thomas Jefferson High School as teacher of Speech and Drama , wheel chair and all!

1942'-'Ve extend our deepest sympathy to Jean Grant Andrews in the death of her husband, Dr. Justin M. Andrews on June 29th. We had all enjoyed being with both of them at our big May reunion.

ceived a grant from the Cooperative Program in the Humanities, a program supported by the Ford Foundation and sponsored jointly by the University of North Carolina and Duke University, to enable her to do research at Chapel° Hill and Duke this year.

The thesis for her Ph.D. was the European Common Market and she is now working on a book on European Federation. For the past several years she has been teaching Modern European history a~ Campbell College.

Bill will be in Naval Officers' Training School in Rhode Island this fall and Linda is a freshman at Campbell.

A delightful letter from Shirley Huxter Corson brought pictures of her charming new home in Newport News and very lovely daughter Miriam, whose resemblance to Shirley is striking. Miriam entered Agnes Scott this fall.

She has continued her interest in ballet, having danced in several of the Peninsula Little Theater and Newport News Operatic Society productions, at the Azalea Festival and the Summer Festival with the Norfolk Civic Ballet. For the past two summers she has been a bank teller.

Harriett Lewis Goodman's daughter Winnie was married in June to Barry Fratkin, sports publicity director for the College of William and Mary. Winnie will continue her education

Puff Poteat Humbert and family spent some time at their New Hampshire summer home.

In late August they had the V.P.I. treatment at Expo 67 with a guided tour and almost no waiting in lines, an amazing accomplishment.

Puff's daughter Priscilla is a sophomore at Westhampton, majoring in phys ed and Susie is a high school sophomore.

These delightful girls were my daughter Carolyn's sisters for a few months. When Carolyn transferred from the University of Maine to Westhampton last January, there was no room in the <Jormitory for her; so the Humberts took her in for a semester and were wonderful to her. Now Carolyn is a junior at Westhampton and living in South Court. My son Jonathan, a high school sophomore, worked for Bob's contracting business all summer.

Entering the P01tland Sidewalk Art Festival in August was an excitin .e; chance for me to exhibit some of the sketches and paintings I have done in the last four years.

I love hearing from you. It makes me anticipate our 25th reunion next spring with great enthusiasm.

I had a card from DeeDee Howe Kirk from Lake Winola in Pennsylvania. She and her family were vacationing there for a week.

I talked to Mildred Cox Goode on the phone in July. She and Skee were leaving for a weekend tdp with Mary Alderson Graham and Billy on their boat. It sounds like fun.

Since I have no other news of the 44's, I'll take this space to tell you about our great event . \Ve were asked to take a foreign student this year by the local American Field Service committee, and on August 4 our new daughter, Denise Bulaclac, arrived from the Philippines. She is the eighth Field Service student to live in Monroe and we're slightly prejudiced but we are sure she is the loveliest one who ever came. She is a living dollsixteen years old - pretty - friendly - happy cooperative and the greatest ambassador her country could have. She is one of ten children, her mother is a school teacher and her fathe1· is a lawyer who works in the office of the President of the Philippine Senate. We all already love her clearly and dread the time for her to leave next June. She is a Senior in our High School, but has some Junior subjects with Penny as they wanted her to study American literature and history. There are given in the Junior year here. I do not know if any of you have had this experience, but if you ever get a chance jump at it for it is marvelous for the whole family.

I hope I'll have more to report in the next letter. Get on the ball girls and let's have some news from those of you who have been silent too long.

1944I sent out some cards to a few of you in July and thank goodness one of you answered!

Had a nice letter from Nancy DeJamette Hansen which does give me a little news to pass on. Nancy and George took their children to visit his parents in Nebraska this summer. On the way out they had a nice visit with Anne Garland and Walt Sheaffer. Nancy says that Anne visits Bowling Green twice a year, once in the summer with her family and once alone during the winter. She says Anne has changed very little and doesn't have all this gray hair many of us are sporting these days. Anne was due in Bowling Green for her summer visit a few days after Nancy wrote me in August.

1949Some of the news is rather dated as the mail just missed the last deadline . Better late tha n never.

Frances Hix has moved to 7709 Pinehill D1·ive in Richmond. She is ver y busy working as well as taking a literac y class to teach adults to read. She says it is quite an experience to teach adults.

Beth Wilburn Hooker and Raymond went skiing in Canada last winter and will probably be off again by the time this goes to press.

Georgia Kilpatrick Hammack and Jack went on a horseback riding trip in the wilderness area of Idaho this summer . Fortunately it was before the forest fires and bear killing incidents. They also did a bit of hiking on the trails and loved the wilderness aspect of the trip. No roads, no people, wild and remote. They went with a congenial group and some "character cowboys ." In August they took the children to the beach.

Kit VanderSchalie Pederson is busy with growing children. Her oldest is 15 and 6' 2" .

Our deepest sympathy to Kit who lost her mother last winter. Kit has done high school substitute teaching in math and science and hopes to continue this fall. She also taught swimming during the summer. The Pedersons spent two weeks at Cape Cod this summer and then two weeks in the Adirondacks.

Janet Richards Stanton sent a darling picture of her eight beautiful children. Yes, you all read correctly-eight-Ellen, 16; Frank, Jr. 14; Carol, 13; Bill, 11; Ruth Anne, 8 ½ ; George, 7½; Janet, 6 and Emilie 4. The photo will be a welcome addition to our scrapbook. Frank is assistant treasurer of Suburban Trust Co ., in Beltsville, Maryland. In spite of being busy with her large family the Stantons manage to squeeze in a night of bowling once a week.

Flo Gray Tullidge is busy with the "same old thing-children-school-cub scouts etc."

She says that being the wife of a Judge is interesting. People tell her all their troubles when they can't "tell it to the Judge."

Betty Yates Dick wrote that her husband has been very ill but has now recovered after treatment at Johns Hopkins. They took it easy this summer and visited Millicent Hutcherson Taylor '48 and Doris Moore Ennis '48 and also saw Margaret Sabine Brizendine '48 before Margaret moved to Canton, New York.

Pat Driscoll Foster's son, Rick, is a freshman at Clemson and her younger son, Pat, is a junior in high school. Rick had a marvelous summer in Spain and North Africa.

Pat fills her spare moments raising orchids under artificial light and copes with three "badly mannered" poodles.

Julie works part time as a physician, spend-

ing the rest of her time with her children and home.

Mitzi Verra Williams and Jack had two vacations this summer. They attended the National Science Foundation conference for directors of Physics Summer Institutes in Boston. They saw many historic landmarks including Emerson's and Hawthorne's homes in Concord. On the way back they stopped at Virginia Beach. At the end of the summer they went to Myrtle Beach. Their children are in 8th and 5th grade.

Joyce Roberson Goforth and family went to Myrtle Beach also as well as to Charleston. They had visited with Ann Bing Abbitt and John earlier in the summer. The Abbitts are to return the visit this fall. Joyce is still teaching 4th grade but it is now departmentalized and her subjects are Engli sh, spelling and science.

Ida Eanes Patrick's son, Pat, did the traveling for the familv this summer. He had a trip to England . Her older daughter, Eleanor, was at camp for 2 weeks and Elizabeth 7, was at home.

My show in Mexico went off very well. The excitement was overwhelming. They treat an art opening the way we treat a movie premiere. I was quite unprepared for all of the hoopla, press, etc. Now I have returned to terra firma and all of the mechanics of bein<?: a housewife and mother. The children are young ladies-even though they have to be reminded of that now and then. Marsha is a senior in high school, Sue is a junior. Jane is in 9th grade and Eve is in the 4th grade.

So time marches on.

It seems as though the same people always respond to my pleas for news. They are wonderful and I don't know what I'd do without their cooperation. We would love to hear from all of you other '49ers. As you see the news is not earth shattering-just every d~v events but the contact is pleasant for all.

Please let me hear from some of you who have been too busy or too lazy to write. Perhaps you ' d enioy seeing your name in print.

Many thanks to all of you who made this news letter possible.

My oldest boy had to have his leg in a cast for 10 weeks and as soon as it was removed in late July, we headed over to the Gulf of Mexico for some long overdue swim• ming. The area we stayed in was close to Bradenton, Florida so I called "Piggy " Wells Me(!dor and drove down to see her . How wonderful it was to spend a few hours with her. We talked so fast and about so many people and things that our voices were hoarse when we finished. "Piggy" has a lovely home [Ind two attractive children; Ray , Jr. , 9 and Robin, 7.

THE TORCH OF HONOR "National honor is national property of the highest value."

These words were spoken 150 years ago - in the First Inaugural Address of James Monroe, fifth President of the United States and author of the Monroe Doctrine.

Today, these words mean more than ever. The bright flame of our national honor seems - at times - to flicker dangerously. If it is to burn on, it must be guarded well.

It must be tended with dedication, responsibility, and the willingness to sacrifice.

James Monroe was well aware of this, and he gladly accepted the sacrifices that duty entailed. Revolutionary soldier, statesman, President, he devoted his life to keeping bright that flame of national honor.

The torch has passed through many hands. Today, it rests in ours. Let us guard it jealously. Let us never deprive it of the life-giving air of freedom.

James Monroe, fit th President of the United States, author of The Monroe Doctrine.

This w:is a do-nothing summer for me.

University

The children had their turns at camp and we went to Massanetta for the Bible Conference Week, but I didn't "do " anything. It was wonderful. After having my final exam collide head-on with our moving date , I looked for a quiet corner to crawl into and I stayed there.

While we were at Massanetta, I visited with Pat Moran Talley and her family. Charlie was working with the Senior High group that week. Their children, old hands at Massanetta, took ours in hand and helped them have a wonderful time.

I spent a lot of time with Doris Gammon Field. She didn't attend Westhampton, but was with us on many of our Youth Revival Weekends.

I heard from Mary Kathryn Manuel Clark who, with Ed, spent her summer studying in Charlottesville.

First , in Feb ruary the Hollins Alumnae Magazine won th e Time -Life Award for Excellence in Magazine Publishing, in competition sponsored by th e Southeastern District of the American Alumni Council. Judg es made their decisions based on improvement of 1966-67 issues , compared to those of the year before.

Later, Ginny's magazine was runn erup with th e University of Chicago in national Time-Life competition, won b y Bowdoin College. The latter distinction was announced at th e San Francisco Convention of the American Alumni Council, where th e Hollins magazine also won distinguished achievement certificates and honorable mentions in four other categories of competition.

Soon after returning from San Francisco, Ginny flew to Dallas to receive for Hollins a Certificate of Exceptional Achievement and a $500 inc entive grant in American College Publi c Relations Association national honors competition.

Hollins entry won the Publications Improvement category. Judg es based the decision on ·four publications of this vear , compared to their counterparts of 196566.

Hollins secret weapon, says Ginny , is a new designer who went not to UR but to RP.I.!

Ginny works about 25 hours a week at h er job as Director of Press Relations and Publications at Hollins , where husband Bill ( Business School '53) is Business Manager. They hav e two daught ers: Jennie , 4, and Laura, 2.

1954A new young man came to live with Van and Peggy Hantzmon and their two sons.

His name is Stephen Van Emon Hantzmon.

He was born on May 14, 1967. Congratulations to the happy family.

My apologies to Jane Gill Tombes! A few weeks ago I found a letter from her which somehow got mixed up with our house-building literature and never found its way into the Bulletin. The letter came in June, 1966, and anticipated the Tombes' two weeks trip to Czechoslavakia.

Averett was invited to an international seminar on insect endocrinology and Jane was so excited about going along.

Jane's mother and brother each were going to keep two of the four children. They planned to go to Zurich, Milan ( where Averett has a married sister) and Vienna. Then they were to take a boat trip down the Danube to Bratislava and up to Brno for the meetings.

By now this has all come to pass and I'm so sorry that it wasn't reported on time.

After returning from Czechoslovakia, the Tombes and their 4 children left Charlottesville, and went back to Clemson, S.C. They have bought a roomy, 15 year old, two story house. The address is 257 Riggs Drive, Clemson, S.C. They hated to leave Virginia but have a lot of friends in Clemson and are really enjoying being back.

Beverley French Dunn and Bill still live in Lynchburg and love it. A year and a half ago they built a home at 4409 Williams Road, and are constantly working to improve the outside and keep up the inside. They have two children, a boy, Page ( 3½), and a girl, Helen Beverley ( born Oct. 3, 1966). They are so happ y to have one of each.

Edie Jackson Jones reports a healthy and mild winter and an early spring in Greensboro, N.C. Also, Jessica (7) progressed beautifully in first grade and is now in second.

Catherine is in kindergarten, and Meg is 4.

Edie keeps busy "car-poo ling ," and teaching 4th grade Methodist Sunday School class.

She just retired as treasurer of the garden club in her sub-division, and un until this year she has been involved in United Fund work, sometimes as a Captain. She now plans to be active in the League of Women Voters, and continue in bridge groups.

Winston is a Federal Probation Officer with the Middle District Court of No1th Carolina and is very happy with his work. Edie and he both love Greensboro.

In May, Edie and four other Westhampton grad uates met to stir up enthusiasm for an alumnae chapter in Greensboro. One of the girls was Charlotte Houchins Decker, '51.

There are about 20 Westhampton grads in the area and they are planning a luncheon meeting in November.

Betty Fleet Schmutz and Roger are having a new home built. It is a garrison colonial and they are so thrilled about it. They plan to move in this September and their new address will be: Meadow Lane, Mill Neck, New York.

Little Doug and Ann Schmutz have the same birthday, October, Doug will be 5 and Ann will be 3. They have enjoyed going to the beach nearly every day la st summer and are both looking forward to school.

Roger surprised Bett y with a tenth anniversary trip to Puerto Rico for a long weekend. Betty says it was so much fun swimming and bicycling and being elegant at night.

Governor Romney was also at the Dorado Beach Hotel and Betty and Roger kept running into him . Betty comments on Romney's friendly smile and handsome appearance.

Laura Mapp was in Oregon all summer traveling and going to school at the Univer-

sity of Oregon. She returns to Bridewater College this year, teaching physical education and loving it . I understand she takes a wonderful interest in the girls.

Barbara Moore Flannagan and Flats have moved into a handsome forty year old home and the y have been very busy with a bit of redoing. Barbara worked part-time last spring at Retreat for the Sick and loved it. This year she will be busy with the new house, Warren Jr., and learning gardening and household do-it-yourself techniques.

The new address is 4707 Rolfe Road, just off Cary Street Road in the Westmoreland Place section of Richmond.

Sue Perry Downing writes of a delightful reunion at Jane Betts Schmitt's home the night before the Alumnae Day luncheon. Present were Sue, Jane, Marcella Hammock Bullock, Barbara Moore Flannagan, and Beverley Burke Dunklee.

Sue love s her life as a wife and homemaker.

She and Tom are so happy in Bal,timore but they wish old friends would turn off of the expressway for a visit.

I took a fast drive to Virginia and back last June when my mother was ill.. She is better now . The boys stayed in Milwaukee with Bob 's brother for a week, and Bob's mother came down to Muncie to take care of the two babies while Bob was working.

We will certainly look forward to hearing about that experience, Dottie.

Jackie Ayre Mack reports that husband, J0ck, is now Instrumental Music Supervisor for Philadelphia. He will also organize and direct the first All-City Concert Jazz Band which I am sure will be most exciting. The Macks also had a marvellous vacation in Maine and Ocean City, Maryland, but are now settling down to the school routine.

Ruth Owen Batt's Karl, returned in April after a year in Vietnam. He is now stationed in Norfolk where their new address is 305 Pepper Mill Court, Norfolk, Va. 23502. We had a most enjoyable overnight visit with them in July on our way to a visit of the Eastern Shore. We took the children to Chincoteague, where they were thrilled to swim in the Atlantic and also visited Ocean City, Maryland one night where I hope they had

their fill of the rides for awhile. Had we left Jay ( 1 ½ ) at home I believe I would have enjoyed it as much as the children.

Her husband, Rudy, is pastor of the English-language church them and also assists a group at the American airbase in Bitburg, Germany just across the border. They have enjoyed their opportunity to travel, but feel it would make Americans so much prouder of their homeland if all had to live elsewhere for at least a year without the benefits of so many of the marvelous products available to them at home. Their two children, Laurie who is five and David who is three, have better German and French accents than their parents.

Brigitte Zickmantel Reimer and Howard are the parents of a son, Neil Stuart, born August 13.

I received a nice newsy letter from Edith Bodes Greer. She and Joyce Still Gibson attended May Day, their first rainy May Day, but with the London theme the rain seemed appropriate. In May, Mary Moore and Al Mowery and their three children Hew down for a weekend. They took in Mt.

The Greers took a two week vacation visiting in Wilmington, N.C.; Atlanta; and Jacksonville.

Ann Peery Frederick wrote a long letter catching me up on some of the Richmond news . While her parents kept her children, she and Phil took a three week vacation trip to Europe in June. They visited friends in Dublin and Bennes, and Janet Butler ( class of 1957) and Bob Barker in Ecaussines, Belgium. Ann said that living in their homes and getting to know th e customs was the most meaningful part of their trip . They also visied - London, Munich, Zurich, and Paris.

In addition to those who attended on Friday night, Anne Lee Hines Reamy and Mrs. Talmadge Foster, Margaret's mother joined us.

Carolyn Wood Aldridge has moved back to Richmond where she will teach and Bo will get his Masters at the U. of R. in business.

Because we have so much news on so many people, there is not enough space in this issue to print it. So many letters and resumes will have to be held until the winter issue. Shortly you will receive a letter, asking some information about yourself and family, and also telling you who the new group leaders will be. Will you please mail these back so that we can bring our class files up to date? We don't know the news about you unless you send it! Our goal is to have everyone's name and whereabouts in the Alumnae Bulletin at least once during this year. Please, please help us by doing your part .

A special thanks to Carolyn Naumann Robertson who did a splendid job as our secretary.

She leaves "mighty big footsteps to fill" in her newsy reporting.

Deadline for winter news is December 10th.

Harold was drafted in May and they are now at Fort Polk, Louisiana where Harold is one of three general surgeons. Elizabeth, their 3½ year old daughter, starts nursery school this fall, and Carol is considering a temporary position in the pediatrics clinic.

Carol says Newllano is a sparsely populated area about 180 miles from New Orleans .

Their address is 702 Oak Lane, Newllano, Louisiana.

Tomi Irvine Freese writes that they continue to enjoy the ocean and beach in West Palm Beach , Florida. Tomi, Mark, age I½ and Scott, age 5½ spent the last two weeks in April in Virginia with her family. Then the whole family vacationed in Illinois with Jack 's parents for three weeks. They had a great time attending ball games , touring museums, and visiting old friends. They made the trip in their MGB and Tomi reports that people stared in disbelief when they unloaded luggage , the two boys and themselves. Tomi 's sister and family now live in Orlando, Florida, so the Freese enjoy visiting inland occasionally.

If you're ever in the West Pahn Beach area look for Jack reporting the news on television.

The last I heard Eddie Knipling Lake and John were to report to Breme1·ton, Washington, in June . I have no address yet.

This time I apologize for the short newsletter. It must be hard to report to your class secretary when you can't find her. Our eight months in the San Francisco area were delightful.

Now, we look forward to our next assignment in Raleigh , N.C. This summer we had visits from Gene's mother, my parents, and several friends that we knew in New York. We spent a great deal of our time taking them on our personal tour of San Francisco. The 4 Holders attended the California Rodeo in mid-July in Salinas. It was quite a show and made us feel as though we had really seen the west. In August we drove to the Los Angeles area and spent three days seeing Disneyland. Anything I say about it would probably be repeating what you have heard before, but I will still endorse it 100 % .

All of us had a ball. We flew to Raleigh arriving September 4, and will be moving to our new address October 4. The boys are happy with their new school and I have many friends here that I knew in Richmond and Endicott. I am going to be helping a friend at her kindergarten for three mornings a week, and will be J. D.'s first grade room mother. So, I already feel at home here. We are driving north for the U . S. Grand Prix at Wat kins Glen on October I. Won't all of you let me hear by December I, so that I can catch you up on everyone.

Keep in mind that May 1968, is our 10th reunion and we'd like to be in touch with everyone by then.

MRs. GENE L. HOLDER ( Sarah Ashburn ) 3921 Browning Place , Ral eigh , N . C.

1959Well, we did it-moved to our farm in Prince Edward County! We have a large, pine-panelled farm house, Laurie is happily enrolled in P. E. Academy, and I can

breathe a sigh of relief ( and from exhaustion, too!) that we made it before school began August 31st! Didn't decide to move until midAugust so you know what a job I had getting packed, and it seemed like the "monsoon season" because it rained for a solid weekevery load was drenched! The rental propert y in Richmond is in charge of a manager, and Ralph makes a round -trip each Monday to check on things there. My job plans have been temporarily shelved. Our new address is: Prospect , Va. 23960 .

Jackie Connell Atkinson moved just about as abruptly! After 8 years with G. E., Charlie is now working as a patent examiner in electrical engineering with the U. S. Patent Office, hopes to start law school this fall, eventually going into patent law. They 've bought a house at 4011 Gibbs Street, Alexandria, Va . 22309, in the Mount Vernon section of Fairfax County, "about a half mile from the entrance to 'George's place.' We've found a church nearby that we liked a lot and have joined . I've already told them I'll be supt. of the two-year-old nursery in S.S. for the coming year" Jo Barker Compbell is still woi-king full time but the agency she works for is sending her to U . of Md. this fall to start work on her Master 's-on company time! Jo and Otho took Preston, their eldest, along to Expo this summer and had a wonderful trip Speaking of trips, Margaret Spencer Hernandez, and the children , were in Richmond this summer on their way to Europe: Hying to New York, then on to Germany. "From there we'll drive our new VW down to Italy and meet Jess ' ship in Naples - we'll stay in Tirrenia, Italy, near Pisa, after that , and I'll meet Jess whenever his ship arrives in ports in the Mediterranean-we'll be back in the spring.'' Margaret also wrote that Ginny Needham Whitfield, '60, and her Navy husband, Jim, have been transferred from Jacksonville to Washington D.C. Peggy Dulin Crews says Merrill finished the 6 months active duty then they went up to Expo before returning to Florida . "We stayed in a private home-met a very nice landlord -she spoke 5 languages - the Expo was very interesting and informative-wish we could have stayed longer than 3 days. We also visited some friends in the city of Quebec."

Peg heard from Miss Chapman, who's been busy working on her yard and house taking short trips. Said it was hard to realize another "red class " will be starting at W.C . this fall.

Susan Payne , who injured her leg in a skiing accident in March, finally got the cast off in August and reports that things are mending nicely. It was rough being immobile for so long but everyone around helped

her so much . Said Moff Coleman, who lives in her apt. bldg. was indispensable to her.

Ellen Matlick Klein and 5-year-old Amy thoroughly enjoyed the community pool this summer-now Amy's off to kindergarten.

Ellen's sister, Joan, had a baby girl in April, then twin Carol got married in October. Her father says he 's really accomplished something-3 educations and 3 weddings.

Anita Knipling Scott is teaching senior English two nights a week in the Arlington Adult Education Program . "Teaching these adults , who'll range in age from 17 to 60, will be a unique experience and I'm looking forward to it. We still miss W. Va. terribly but a constant stream of company has helped our homesickness. We just pull out the blankets and all ·the kids sleep on the floor, which they don't seem to mind a bit. It was especially nice to see Mike Magee ( R .C. '59) and Charlie Polly ( R.C. '58). Both asked about members of our class that they knew. Fred is starting on his C.L.U . ( advanced degree in insurance), so is extra busy. " Anita had a jam-packed Mortar Board Session at Purdue in June-meetings day and night-and say s the greatest part about the week was seeing Patsy McDonald Allen-"she look s great and is still as much fun as ever. She and Dick bought a house and moved in just 3 days before Patsy left for Purdue , then ·left on a 4-day medical convention the day after she got back to Oregon. The convention, for Pat, was strictly fun and relaxation. Pat will be doing more fashion work for Bergdorf's this fall, and Mark, who 's just had his first birthday fills her days.

Gary Moore Barnes and the children are with Bill in Norwalk, Conn. where he ' s been doing some consulting work for the past 5 months. Gary said they'd just arrived when Page came down with mumps. Leave it to Gary to see all the sights though! They've been to the Newport Jazz Festival , camping in the mountains of Vermont, vacationing at the Cape and Nantucket Island , sightseeing in Provincetown, Falmouth, Hyannis Port, and Martha's Vineyard. They came to Danville in mid-August, and Gary Hew down to Huntsville "to check on the house, etc .'' before driving with Bill in their new car to get the rest of the family for another 6-weeks in Norwalk. Incidentally, Gary 's mail ( which was forwarded) hasn 't reached her yet so we 'll have that news next Bulletin. Gary and Bill have gone into N.Y.C. for plays, and "will surely miss the great summer stock productions we 've seen at the Westport County Playhouse. " They 've also attended the American Shakespeare Festival Theater .

By mid-October they should be back in Huntsville.

Gary says, "Of course you know about the arrival of Virginia Wells Campbell on June 12th." ( I didn't.) Is it safe to assume that the proud parents are Eleanor Dickson Campbell and Leslie? Congratulations!

Sibby Haddock Young and Paige planned to go to Expo and to spend many leisurely days at their cottage on the river until Paige decided to enter the political arena.

He is a candidate for the Va. House of Delegates. They are thrilled with the Republican backing he's received. "Being a preacher and a politican requires quite a few hours each day!"

Ellen Paschall Johnson typed a nice letter.

They have been seven years in "a marvelous and indescribable ministry" in the Tabor City Baptist Church, in N.C., however Jimmy resigned in June to begin work on his doctorate at Southwestern Seminary. "It will fall to my lot to provide a livelihood for the family while Jimmy concentrates on his studies. Rebekah Lynne is nine now and in fourth grade. Karen is five, and Jamie, our boy , is three. They are excited about the move and yet they hate to leave their friends. This is perhaps one of the most difficult things about the ministry, having to leave those you love when you feel that you have gotten your "roots" down. On the other hand there are many, many compensations. I am hoping that adjustments can be made so that I can do a little graduate work myself. This has always been my desire and perhaps it will become a reality."

Margaret Tabor Small's biggest achievement was at last realized when their church finally got a preacher. She and the pulpit committee have worked very hard on this project. She and her family took a couple weeks' vacation in July, traveling down the Blue Ridge Parkway through the Smoky Mts., and then visited in Kentucky and Ohio. Mike and Tracey had a big time riding Grandma Small's horses.

Sarah Coleman Marroni and her family enjoyed the beach during the summer. Michael entered second grade this fall and Randi had her third birthday.

Before Holly began first grade this fall at St. Bridget's, Lilalee Guerrant Doll,u-d said she spent much of her time chasing her child and her dog, and sewing. Maybe things have calmed down by now. Dick Boulden , Peggy Yarbrough Boulden's and Ed's son started school this fall too. He has an October birthday, so had to wait a whole year for first grade. He was 7 on October 4th.

Eileen Cordle has a new address: 359 Surry Lane , Danville , Va. 24541.

Elizabeth Ramos Dunkum and Sue Riley Lambiotte were the only '59ers at the Alumnae Day luncheon back in May. Sue "looked grand and was talking about her two sons, of course. " Sue served for the past year as president of the Peninsula Club (W.C. Alumnae), and has another year to go. She says she thoroughly enjoys it.

Barbara Dulin Polis said their trip to Virginia was great , although the grandparents spoiled both the children. "Charlie is now busier than ever-we only have meals together during the weekends. I begin bowling in September. I did manage to play golf once this summer-only my second time on the comse-it 's lots of fun even if my game is terrible. Laurie had her 1st birthday July 29 -Chuck begins kindergarten this fall-can 't believe it! " Becky Keller Ottinger and Charles love their "country home " in Leesburg, Va. Charles has formed a partnership with his boss and is working very hard, and Becky is teaching this fall in Loudoun County public school

system. This summer they spent a week at Nags Head and enjoyed traveling in western Virginia and North Carolina.

Bev Wine Bowers' letter got in just under the wire. "We're ending up a very hectic summer so it's a miracle I'm getting to write at all. Both babies are growing like weeds. I'm busy with one or the other most of the time. It is interesting to see how different they are. By the way, they are fraternal. Our other big news is that Al has gone into business for himself. This started over a year ago but we're just now becoming convinced that it will succeed. He is manufacturing pneumatic components (mostly valves and cylinders) for industrial machinery.

Al's brother spent the summer with us, my sister and her family visited for a week, Al's sister and her family for a week, his mother and father for a week, and an aunt an uncle for three weeks. I forgot to say that my father has retired and he and Mom have moved to Bristol. We are really enjoying having them near. They are a big help with the babies and the business. Jo Edwards Mierke, Eddie, and Karen spent a weekend with us in August. Both are still working.

Eddie is doing graduate work and Karen, 5, is in kindergarten.

Sue Sybert Ritter writes that they have moved to 2501 Murray Ave., Norfolk, Va. 23518. "Fred is to develop a new church in Roosevlt Gardens-20 minutes from Virginia Beach. He will be out knocking on doors, as there is no established congregation." Fritz started school this fall.

Bonnie Lewis Haynie and Jerry enjoyed two nice weekends in Pinehurst, N.C.-one in June with Bev and Tommy Evans and one in August with Allstate agents. Scott began kindergarten this fall.

Bev and Tommy, besides their long weekend at Pinehurst, also took the children to Nag's Head for a vacation. Bev has been shopping for furniture for her new home, adding some pretty new pieces. This year she is Publicity Chairman of the Westhampton Junior Woman's Club-a job that will keep her very busy writing and keeping scrapbooks. Katherine is in kindergarten and likes it fine. Bev and Tommy have enjoyed entertaining many guests this summer. Sylvia Olney was there for dinner. Bev said Syl looks grand and is very happy. Sy) had a New England vacation and is teaching in Newport News again this year, Elizabeth Ramos Dunkum and Ellis took David to Ocean View, then to visit Elizabeth's sister at the river, and to Deep Creek Lake in the mountains of Maryland. Ellis is taking two night school courses toward his Master's degree this semester. The Dunkums also took David to the Washington Zoo on the Zoo Train, and there bumped into Betsy and B. B. Harvey Strum who had driven up for the day.

B. B. has been playing lots of tennis in the city women's league this summer. In Auggust she and Betsy spent two weeks at Camp Appalachia ( where B. B. used to be a counselor). This fall B. B. began her ninth year of teaching at Marymount.

Sherwood is president of the Red and Blue Club this year and they are looking for an exciting year That's it. I want to praise our group leaders, who have been so faithful and complimentary to me. They really do a wonderful job! Also a vote of thanks to Mrs. Lohmann, who is such a patient typing teacher. This newsletter has really been a breeze.

A P.S. to you Richmond '59ers: I won 't be able to phone you any more, so keep in better touch with your group leaders Or,

better still, write me a note between Thanksgiving and December 1st.

MRS. RALPH L. HAGA, JR. ( Carolyn Nash ) Prospect, Virginia 23960.

1960We all owe Linda Lemmon a big ovation for making the '60 class letters such fun to read for the past 2 years. Her enthusiasm and hard work were very evident. Thank you Linda. Thanks also to the area secretaries and individuals who helped with this letter. J would like to work for a goal of including some news from each girl in our class, not in each column perhaps, but once a year anyway. There are many members that we haven 't heard from directly in a long time, so remember, this is your news letter, and we are all interested in hearing from you. Please try to take just a minute and drop a post card or letter to your area secretary or me. Don't wait until the press date for the Alumni Bulletin; do it the first chance you have. It isn't really a class letter unless everyone participates. If you haven't heard from your area secretary or don't know who she is, write to me.

Many members of the class have been traveling and enjoying vacations this summer , as well as visiting friends and relatives. Linda and Bob Lemmon and daughter, and Phyllis and Bob Polhemus with their two children enjoyed a reunion at Rehoboth Beach, Del. in Aug. Linda has been tutoring grade school students 5 times a week, which she says is very rewarding work. One of our original classmates, Hetie Reuyl Lutz, who was at Wsthampton for 2 years, now lives in California and Rew with her husband Bob and daughter Raine to visit her parents in Maryland this summer. While she was there, Linda Lemmon played some tennis with her and also invited some of their former high school classmates to a coffee for Hettie.

Phyllis and Bob Polhemus enjoyed their leisure time aboard a new sailboat this summer, and were visited by Jeanne Kosko Light and Robley who were returning from a trip to the Orient.

One of our members received the honor of having the Manchester High School annual dedicated to her. This is Becky Grissom Van Ausdall, who has resigned from teaching now to become a full time housewife.

During the summer months , many people are moving around the country; if you have moved recently, please notify me and the Alumnae office and don 't forget your ZIP code. One of our area secretaries, Ruthi Greenfield Zinn , is happy to report that she and Steve and daughter Laura Jeanne have moved out of Manhattan to the relatively cool climes of Staten Island this summer , where they are enjoying a pool, terrace and barbecue with their new apartment.

Steve is a radiologist with the Public Health Service Hospital in Staten Island, so the Zinns expect to remain there for 2 years.

Her new address is 800 Victory Blvd., Staten Island, N.Y. Ruthi reports that Shirley Satterfield Flynn and husband Les have left N.Y . as Les has decided to make his career in the Armed Services.

Gloria Viegener Price has taken a job in her husband's law office and is working there 4 hours a day. She and George are as bus y as ever collecting antiques. Kitty Whitby Fiege and John are studying in Normal, Illinois. He is a Ph.D. candidate and she is taking courses to enable her to teach in college. She is also working in student personnel as a residence hall director in a dormitory with 400 freshmen women.

Paula Williams Davis writes me that they

have a budding tennis player coming along in their daughter Leigh, now 2. Paula has been teaching Leigh how to hit the ball. Paula accompanied husband Joe on a business trip to Calif. this summer, which she really enjoyed.

Sarah Hudgins Rice and Fred picked up their family this summer and took them to Fresno, Calif. for 6 weeks, where Fred received an appointment to an NDEA institute on disadvantaged youth at Fresno State College. Sarah and Fred spent last winter fixing up a 10 room house they bought in Portsmouth, Va. Sarah will be teaching English and Reading again at Deep Creek High School, as well as doing some volunteer work with children in a hospital. Her address is 590 Nansemond Court, Portsmouth, Va . 23707.

Jeanette McWilliams Welsh and Jack enjoyed a happy vacation in New Orleans this summer when Jack received his Ph.D. in Drama from Tulane University.

The Baker family became 5 when their third child, Thomas Daniel, was born to Nancy Rae and Bill on Aug. 23.

Another of our class members has rnturn ed to teaching this fall; Judy Cyrus Walker is teaching First Grade at Fisher Elementary School in Chesterfield Co., a new round building which Judy says is fine if you like pie-shaped rooms. Meurial Webb is teaching First Grade in Chesterfield Co. too, after a summer working at the Foreign Mission Board.

Jane Morris Dobyns and Ra ymond took their vacation down south this summer, visiting Atlanta, Gatlinburg and Knoxville.

Jane started the summer off by teaching Bible School, an experience which she says was very educational for her.

From the •West Coast Dodie writes that she has been unable to contact some of our classmates in her area, despite repeated efforts.

We would like to hear some wo1·d from Sandy Strang. Dodie says that she and Gloria Greenfield Harris have taken up camping this summer. The Harrises, with son Cameron and their dog , took advantage of the lovely Northwest by camping on short trips to practice up for a 2 week vacation into Montana, Yellowstone and Grand Teton Nat'!. Parks in Wyoming, and Sun Valley, Idaho. Dodie's camping this summer took her to Yosemite and Mineral King in the Sierras, where she had to compete with the bears for camping space.

Mineral King may soon be developed as a ski area by the family of Walt Disney. Dodie's last skiing was at Mammoth in 80 ° weather.

Barbara Ramsey Bridgers stays busy being domestic and doing some substitute teaching in the local schools in Newark, Calif. Jean Chou Lee and husband Tun became parents of a second son, Conan, on July 12th.

The nicest part of being class secretary is hearing from man y girls I haven't seen or heard from since graduation. I just rnceived a newsy bundle from Peggy Gore Sykes , who also spent some time at the beach this summer. Peggy says the children really loved it. She and Bill are jointly teaching a Sunday School class this fall. From Peggy also comes news of Joan Silverstein Zimmerman, who says she saw quite a bit of Rosalind Weinstein Rottenberg this summer. Rozy is very busy these days teaching, including summer school, so she and Joanie took advantage of her month off in Aug. to visit with each other.

Joan, along with many of us, has a little one going off to nursery school this year.

There must have been a real migration to the beaches this summer. Mary Cooley Malone and Dick spent some time at Rehoboth Beach, then took their family vacation at a cottage on Lake Ontario. Mary 's girls, Sharon, 3½, and Suzanne, 5, also turned out to be little water bugs. Mary says Dick's job as "launch manager" for the SECOR satellite program

takes him frequently to the West Coast which keeps things hopping at the Malone house.

Through Mary we have located Cynthia Rabon Barry. It seems Cynthia and Mary ran into each other while taking their children to the same nursery school, and discovered they lived only a mile apart. Cynthia and Randy have been transferred again now, and their new address is Lt. and Mrs. K. R. Barry, 101 Landoe Lane, Colorado Springs, Col. 80911.

I was very happy to receive a phone call soon after we moved, from Cynthia Katz Hoffman who lives in the neighboring town of Stamford, Conn. Cynthia 's husband Ira is a dentist thern, and they have 2 children, Jeffrey, 3, and Gayle, 2. Her address is 264 Dundee Rd., Stamford, Conn. This was a busy summer of changes for us, but we are pretty well settled in our new home, new community and David 's job . ,1/e find New England a delightul place to live, especially in the fall.

I'm looking forward to hearing from each on~ of you soon.

MRS. DAVID M . AHLERS (Clara Earle) 17 Old Stone Road D ar ien, Conn. 06820

Ann Jones Stribling and Bill vacationed at Nags Head in June. Their boys loved the ocean.

Pat teaches Physical Education, Sydney has Science and Biology, and I have World History-Geography and English. We thought we worked hard last year!

That about wraps it up for this time. After pursuing all the latest gossip, you notice that I heard from about a hundred of the hundred and twenty plus a few we lost along the way.

This is a wonderful way to begin; let's keep it that way!

A few of you who responded by postcard did not find your names here. This was because you forgot to put your names on the cards and I could not identify them. The reason you forgot was because I had no set place on the cards for names-sorry.

A word of congratulations to the entire class ( and especially to Ree Cross) is in order.

WE HAVE LIGHTS ON THE BACK GATE! Not only there, but also on the road to the gate and-hang on-from the Reading Room to South Court! No more counting telephone poles and bushes to find the gate, Ussery!

Hope to have class addresses for you in the near future. Until next time, keep the news coming, gang!

The results of our inquiry were very gratifying. There were eight alumnae on Oahu, and all eight would come.

,ve chose the gracious Halekulani Hotel, as it has the greatest amount of Old Hawaii atmosphere left. Our table was placed outside under the entwined branches of the huge hao tree, and in full view of the ocean.

Everyone was so glad to see everyone else and wanted to know of any college news.

The menu was very good , and representative of what we can get from the sea , the fruit trees and various national tidbits.

Listed according to classes we had Margaret Monteiro '15, Frances Shipman Sutton ' 19 and Leslie Booker '22 ( these two were our guests of honor) then followed Mary Morris Ellyson '38 now Mrs James Graves; Mrs. Anne Stites '38, Frances Badenoch '42, Ka y Hanley '44 now Mrs . Clay Wery; Ellen Brooks '45 now Mrs Roy Blackwell ; May Yook '49 now Mrs. Raymond Chung and Edie Graves '62 now Mrs. Joseph Jones. Frances Badenoch brought two friends from Haleiwa , so altogether we had a dozen at the table. It was so good to be together, to hear of the plans for the new building, and to talk about our old friends, and beloved teachers, Miss Keller, Miss Lough, Miss Lutz, Dr. Lo ving . Then some folks had to leave as they lived a long way off and the rest of us went to the Ilikai Hotel with Mrs. Booker to see a fine selection of beautiful slides of the new building, and of Westhampton grounds in the spring. May Yook Chung drove us around a bit before leaving us at our homes so Leslie and Frances could see her home, very gracious husband and charming baby daughter; and also see the cottage in which I live, which is almost hidden by the garden.

Send us some more "old girls" and we will show you our Hawaii and have another meeting of the Aloha Branch. The clan will gather when any of the old home folks come.
