THE NEW LIBRARY

An exciting change is about to be made at KimberleyE- the library is moving! As soon as school closes in June, work will be started to transform what many alumnae know as the senior study hall into a handsome new library.

The ceiling will be lowered, new lights installed, columns taken out, and shelv­ ing put in. The fireplace will be paneled and made the focal point of the room.

Around the fireplace will be a reading lounge, set off from the rest of the li­ brary by low shelves. New carpeting will be put down to match that in the front hall, which has proven to be so effective in reducing the sound level.

With all of these changes, however, the architect, J. Lloyd Berrall, is keeping the lovely Georgian atmosphere we are so fond of. As much architectural de­ tail as possible will be retained. The fur­ niture is being chosen with great care

to carry on this feeling. It will be in dark wood, probably a walnut finish.

ALUMNAE LUNCHEON THURSDAY, JUNE 6th

Our Annual Meeting and Luncheon will be held in the senior high study hall at the Kimberley School on Thursday, June 6th. Punch will be served at 12:15 P.M. followed by the luncheon at 1:00.

Luncheon chairman, Joan Lucas Cas­ sidy will be assisted by Carol Humphrey White, tickets; Miriam Eustis Irwin, dec­ orations; and Gail Tomec Kerr, refresh­ ments.

Tables will be arranged by classes; special tables being set up for reuning classes, and, as usual, members of the graduating class will be guests of honor.

Be sure to save the date! The post­ card for your reservation is enclosed in this bulletin.

Here is a brief summary of Alumnae Association sponsored events this past year.

The traditional Opening Day coffee was held in the library to start off our year and was most successful, as always.

Everyone seems to like this brief chance to get together and we especially enjoy having the senior class join us.

In October, the Alumnae-Varsity hockey game took place on that perfect­ ly enormous field out back! The score is incidental, so I’ll skip over that and just report that we all had fun. Kit Eavenson ’41 modeled a 1934 gym uniform and was devastating in those bloomers!

Some seven new trees were planted that day, too S - the generous gift of the class of 1942.

Karnival arrived in November, and Tukie Blondel ’32 and her committee did a lively business in the Polaroid camera booth.

December was the kick-off for Annual Giving. As you know, the drive was pointed towards having enough money for our beautiful, new library. I am de­ lighted to report that as of this time our alumnae giving is double that of last year. Thanks again to all of you who donated. The school’s present library is totally inadequate, and I can assure you that the new one will be a lovely im­ provement.

On December 20th, we held a free luncheon in the library for the college age alumnae. Co-chairmen were Tukie Blondel ’32 and Ann Dixon Curtin ’39, who supplied sandwiches and cokes to a most enthusiastic group of girls. Be­ cause all of you who came enjoyed this so much, we will have another one next year on December 20th. Plan to join us!

The Alumnae Association once again sponsored Funorama on Ice this year, which was most exciting as it featured the USA’s only Olympic Gold Medalist, Peggy Fleming, skating. This is really a wonderful project, I feel, as it not only helps our Alumnae Association but the Orange Memorial medical center as well.

I heartily recommend that we continue to sponsor this show next year.

Evie Van Wie Penick ’34, Marge At­ water Crane ’34 and Shirley Deyo Whiteman ’48 co-chaired our biggest alumnae (Continued on Page 9, Column 1)

FROM THE HEADMASTER

What wonders our lives could be . . if only we had time to plan ahead! Most of us go on from day to day, hoping to be alert to opportunities and to decide wisely and well at each turn in the road. revered Frank Boyden, who was re­ cently honored at the White House for distinguished service to the nation as Deerfield’s headmaster, once remarked relative to planning that he simply han­ dled problems as they arose as best he could. Yet, one who looks at that splen­ did campus today after some sixty years of his leadership, cannot help but suspect that there was some planning somewhere.

The “long-range plan” for any school is an anguishing and elusive formula to develop because its ingredients include so many imponderables. Nevertheless, schools, like institutions;?!n other fields, must plan ahead if they are to avoid waste and maintain intelligent direction.

Our faculty and board of trustees is cur­ rently engaged in this frustrating, but nonetheless exciting, process of looking five to ten years into Kimberley’s future and wrestling with questions of philos­ ophy, enrollment estimates, curriculum, space requirements, and financial projec­ tions.

To initiate our own education in the procesaltwo trustees, the business man­ ager, and I spent several days at Arden House in Harriman, New York at a longrange planning seminar sponsored by the National Association of Independent Schools. In preparation for that, we pre­ pared a very detailed ten-year projection biased upon certain far-flung assump­ tions relative to American schools in the twentieth century. We involved ourselves in learning the steps one takes, and in discussion with representatives from over twenty other independent schools. Sub­ sequent to that, members of the Board have interviewed a series of representa­ tives from management consultant firms and from one university which assists schools in such programs»T he Board of Trustees devoted its most recent month­ ly meeting exclusively to these consid­ erations and we met for two days in April with Dr. Derwood Baker, a Mont­ clair resident and prominent educator who was widely experienced in school consulting as a profSsor at New York University. Such questions were raised as those concerning the most appropriate service a school like Kimberley can ren­ der its community, the direction of col­ lege preparatory curriculum thrust, and the place of independent education in our developing society.

Dr. Baker advised us in the formula­ tion of our objectives and procedures of investigation. A “task force” of the Board has been organized to direct the program with Dr. Baker’s guidance.

As we survey other independent Ichools, at least twenty of which have been visited this year by our administra­ tive staff, I can report with confidence Kimberley’s enviable situation. Our fi­ nancial position is -sound, thanks to the extraordinary loyalty and generosity of the widened base of alumnae, parents and friends in recent annual giving drives. The drive this year is truly his­ toric, reaching some $57,000 over gifts of last year including several very thoughtful leadership gifts. The faculty is effective and dedicated, our students are spirited, our college admissions record is strong (with particular con­ gratulations to the class of 1968) and our curriculum remains current with col­ lege requirements while developing addi­ tional, exciting dimensions. Seven new courses were added this year and plans are forming for at least one co-ed course with Montclair Academy, new human­ ities studiqsf next year, and hopefully a selection of minor courses introductory to, -college-level studies, such as philos­ ophy, geology, psychology, etc.

But, ias we were instructed at Arden House, complacency can destroy all of this virtually overnight. With ominous tone, it was emphasized there that some of the schools present would probably be defunct within the next ten years. Those schools that would survive, we were told, would be those who remain up-to-date in their program and financially solvent.

In the course of the planning process, it is likely that certain use will be made of questionnaires®* for the opinion of many people should be involved if the study is to prove realistic and successful.

In any event, I would be personally most interested in the observations of all who read this column. As an alumna, what were your most valued benefits and re­ sults of Kimberley years? What would be your definition of strength and suc­ cess for Kimberley? How do you view Kimberley’s future? I would be most 2

interested in your comments, and of course’, we would all be so happy to re­ ceive your personal visits to school. Your remarkable response to annual giving this year has helped make possible stu­ dents’ and faculty’s enjoyment of a fine new library next fall, a tour of which should prove good cause for your early visit. Please come back soon.

R ic h a r d K. L o v e l a n d Headmaster LIBRARY — Continued from Page T

The classroom behind the present study hall will be the elementary school library, providing a more efficient ar­ rangement than with that library up­ stairs, and also enabling the younger girls to become more familiar with the main library and to take advantage of its facilities when appropriate, which they are now reluctant to do!

The present main library and its annex hold over 6,000 books, and happily, the number increases constantly. Close to a thousand books were added last year.

(A third of them, by the way, were gifts, including a few bought as birthday-giftsin-reverse for the school by students.

Donations of books, such as biography or fiction, are always welcomed by Mrs. James W. Clauson, the librarian.) Space for 10,000 volumes will be provided in the new library, and this is the major reason for the change.

This library move sets off a chain re­ action of other moves and the finishing of a new classroom. These are being planned to provide not only the space needed for the new library but a more efficient arrangement of classes in the rest of the school. Consequently, there will be many benefits from the change.

Obviously, this project is very expen­ sive as well as very worthwhile. It is hoped that alumnae, through annual giving, will show their interest and ap­ proval for this important step in main­ taining Kimberley’s name for excellence.

Mrs. H. Clifton Whiteman NEW SLATE OF OFFICERS ANNOUNCED

The Nominating Committee presents the following slate to be elected at the Annual Meeting in June: For President, 1968-1970 Shirley Deyo Whiteman ’48 For Secretary, 1968-1970 Carol Thompson Lathrop ’34 For Elected Member of the Nominating Committee Fay Taft Fawcett ’52 Happily for Kimberley, our nominee for Alumnae Association President, Shirley Deyo Whiteman, class of 1948, and wife of retiring Board of Trustees President, Clifton Whiteman, will carry on the family tradition of dedicated service to the school.

MANY THANKS TO CINDY

With her term of office expiring in June, we would like to make special men­ tion of the wonderful job Cindy Adams has done as President of the Alumnae Association.

Her long hours of toil for the Alumnae Association and her enthusiasm and spirit for Kimberley have inspired many of us to take a more active part in the school.

Many thanks, Cindy, for a job well done.

Headmaster Richard K. Loveland and Alumnae Association President Cynthia Youngman Adams watch appreciatively as 1942 Class Secretary Sally Sanders Appenzellar plants one of seven new hemlocks presented to the school by the Class of 1942. These evergreens join the flowering crab apples, dogwoods and blue spruces planted as gifts to the school on other recent 25th reunion classes.

U.S. SUPREME COURT ACCEPTS PORTRAIT BY JOAN TRIMBLE SMITH

Mrs. Whiteman and Mrs. Penick dis­ cussing plans for the Theatre Party.

ALUMNAE SPONSOR THEATRE PARTY

On May 5, 1968 a large enthusiastic group of Kimherley alumnae with spouses attended a performance of “Ok­ lahoma” at the Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn. Preceding this nostalgic revi­ val of Rogers and Hammersteins 25 year old classic, the group enjoyed a jovial cocktail hour and delicious buffet supper at the home of Mrs. Nancy Williams Brundage ’41 in Montclair. Many of the husbands contributed their services as bartenders.

Among the alumnae working on the arrangements were Mrs. Clifton Whiteman, Mrs. Ralph Crane, and Mrs. Ken­ neth Gordon, who was in charge of tickets.

The hospitality committee, under the chairmanship of Mrs. S. Barksdale Pen­ ick, included: Mrs. C. D. Appenzellar, Mrs. Willard Dixon, Miss Katherine Blondel, Mrs. Anton Krebs, Mrs. John Lathrop, Mrs. David Haviland, Mrs. Bo­ gart Thompson, Mrs. James Bryan, Mrs. T. R. Kenny, Mrs. Bruce McBratney, Mrs. Philip Dresdner, Mrs. Walter Hunsiker, Mrs. T. J. Curtin, Mrs. John Cow­ ard, Mrs. Young Duhamel, Mrs. Paul Miller, Mrs. Edward J. Cassidy, Mrs. Giles St. Clair, Mrs. J. Hunter Walton, Mrs. William Breen and Mrs. Edwin Shuttleworth.

Assisting as bartenders were David P. Adams, Lincoln Ames, James H. Bryan, Thomas Burgin, Ralph T. Crane, John P. Curtin, N. Young Duhamel, George P. Egbert, Robert L. Evans, Edward C. Fawcett, Kenneth T. Gordon, David L. Kerr, George D. F. Lamborn, John B. Phillips, Charles B. Sanders and H. Clif­ ton Whitman.

Joan Trimble Smith, class of 1942, has had a painting accepted to hang in the Supreme Court of the United States at Washington, D. C. The painting, that of Nathan Clifford, a justice of the Supreme Court from 1858 to 1881, was received by the Chief Justice at a formal ceremony in October, 1967.

Joan, a professional portrait painter, was commissioned to paint Clifford’s portrait through the efforts of her fatherin-law, a headmaster emeritus of New Hampton Academy, New Hampton, New Hampshire. In attempting to complete their picture gallery of former justices of the Supreme Court, the present justices went to New Hampton Academy seeking a portrait of Justice Clifford, the acad­ emy’s most famous graduate.

The academy possessed some old pho­ tographs and engravings but no portrait.

Mr. Smith suggested that his daughterin-law paint an oil from one of the old photos.

Photographs of Joan’s, work were sent to Washington, her work was ap­ proved, and she was notified to proceed with the portrait.

When the portrait was completed it was sent to Washington where it was approved by the clerk of the court, the chief justice and an artistic advisor.

In painting the portrait Joan worked from old photographs and an engraving supplied by the academy. She also used a photograph contained in a biography of Nathan Clifford written by his grand­ son Phillip Clifford.

Joan says that her portrait of the rotund Mr. Clifford is a synthesis of sev­ eral photographs rather than of any one.

The oil painting is 36 inches by 48 inches and will be encased in a hand-carved frame made by Framingham Craft Cen­ ter.

She is a graduate of Vassar College and studied art in New York under Robert Brackman and Frank Vincent DuMond. While in New York she was a member of the Art Study League.

Joan gives art lessons in her home and also at the Framingham Civic Center.

OLD SALEM

Single Brother’s House All during the years when I was a resident of Montclair and a happy and enthusiastic student at Kimberley, I also shared another life with my family through vacations in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where my mother was born. Upon my father’s retirement in 1930, we moved there permanently, and in 1950 shared in the exciting beginnings of the restoration of Old Salem, the his­ toric part of the city founded in 1766 by the Moravians.

Probably most of you have never heard of our Church, which takes its name from the Province of Moravia (now in modern-day Czechoslovakia).

John Hus, rector of Prague University and national hero of Czechoslovakia, was also the first “protestor” or “Protes­ tant” and was sentenced to death by the Ecumenical Council of 1415. From his followers, the United Brethren or Mora­ vian Church was formed in 1457, making it the oldest Protestant Church in the world, except for the Waldensians, who organized a few years earlier. Through generations of persecution and hardship, these intrepid people made their way in the early seventeen hundreds to offered asylum on the estate of a wealthy count in Herrnhut, Germany. From there, in the 1740’s, they established Bethlehem, Nazareth and Lititz, Pennsylvania, and pushed South through the Indian-infest­ ed wilderness to found “Salem,” meaning “Peace,” in 1766.

The whole purpose in coming was to Christianize the Indians, for the Mora­ vians have always been motivated by a missionary zeal, and even today the 300,000 members are only one-fourth white, the rest being composed of mis­ sion churches in many lands throughout the globe. The order of service on Sun­ day morning is somewhat like the Epis; copalians and somewhat like the Luther­ ans, and I think any of you who attend a Protestant church would feel at home in ours.

The men who began constructing the community of Salem on the morning of January 6, 1766, spoke German and also shared the German skills of craftsman­ ship, thoroughness and a methodical at­ tention to detail. This caused them to record each aspect of their life in the new community, as well as the exact plans and color of the buildings. Care­ fully documented and housed in the old Archives House are all these records, a legacy to their restoration-minded de­ scendants.

They built around a one-acre town square: a Single Brothers House, where the fourteen-year-old boys took up resi­ dence to learn a craft from the many master craftsmen in residence there; a Single Sisters House, where the girls learned the housekeeping skills which would be required of them later on; a community store; the all-important church; and both a boys school and a 6

girls school, for education ranked sec­ ond only to religion in their lives. This latter, which was founded in 1772 has now evolved into two separate institu­ tions, Salem Academy Preparatory School on an adjacent hill, and Salem College, a four-year liberal arts college which still utilizes some of the old build­ ings on its campus.

All of the above-mentioned buildings have been restored, as well as many other shops and dwellings — twentyeight in all. Six million dollars in gifts have been used for this purpose and the project is still continuing.

The architectural firm which oversees Williamsburg also made the initial sur­ vey for Old Salem nineteen years ago and gave impetus to our aims by their excitement over the fact that all of the buildings to be restored were extant and did not have to be constructed as “new” old buildings.

As all of us remember from our kin­ dergarten days, it is easier to “show” than to “tell.” Therefore, I have only be­ gun to tell the history of the Moravians and their North Carolina settlement.

Nothing would give me more pleasure than to play guide to Kimberley girls; so the next time you’re planning a trip South, please mark Winston-Salem on your map and let me know that you are coming.

AUDREY CARROLL McBRATNEY ELECTED PRESIDENT OF JUNIOR LEAGUE

Audrey Carroll McBratney ’50, has been chosen the new president of the Junior League of Montclair. After grad­ uating from Kimberley and Vassar Col­ lege, Audrey was a research assistant in the college department of Mademoiselle magazine and later planned social events for Kimberley.

Her community activities include membership on the Community Action Council, and the Planning Division of the United Community Services and on the Edgemont School PTA Board. She also sings in the choir at Central Pres­ byterian Church.

Since joining the Montclair Junior League in 1955, Audrey has served as first vice president, chairman of the Community Research Committee, and “Latest” editor. She has attended Re­ gional and Annual Conferences. This year she was chairman of the Public Relations Committee.

Audrey’s voluntary services include trouping with Humdingers and Chil­ dren’s Theatre and making tapes for Recordings for the Blind.

Audrey and her husband, Bruce, a partner in Wood, Struthers, and Winthrop, New York investment bankers, have three children, Bonnie, Sally and Bruce. Bonnie and Sally are attending Kimberley.

STUDENT COUNCIL NEWS

The Student Council this year has been active in dealing with the problems of the student body. Our major project was in initiating the revised study hall system. We feel that presently this sys­ tem is working quite well.

The following girls are the members of this year’s Student Council: grade twelve, Lynn Brandenburg (Conduct Council chairman), Kathe Appenzellar (Student Council vice president), Jenny Siebens (class president), Sue McIntosh (Student Council representative), Dawn Geannette (Athletic Association presi­ dent) , Angie Steggles and Leslie Adickes (co-chairmen of the Kimberley Chest); grade eleven, Ellen Hare (class presi­ dent), Patty Benner (Student Council representative), Marilyn Cowing (¡Cour­ ier editor), Sue Schadier (Student Coun­ cil secretary), Ann Callahan (Student Council treasurer), Phyllis La Touche (Student Council assistant treasurer); grade ten, Georgia Buckner (class pres­ ident) and Betsy Kimball (Student Council representative).

Over the summer the council revised the formerly outdated Student Council handbook. Our principal aim was to help the new girls become acquainted with Kimberley’s rules and traditions, but so many changes had been made in the past few years that the rest of the students also needed a new handbook.

We tried to make the new handbook smaller and more attractive than the old one. The council held informal meetings with the new girls at the beginning of the year to make them feel more wel­ come.

The Conduct Council and Student Council have worked together to try to liberalize some of the regulations. The Conduct Council, instead of the Student Council, is now responsible for disciplin­ ing girls who misbehave in study halls.

This shift of responsibility lessens the seriousness of the offense since it is no longer treated as an honor offense, and it also gives the Student Council more time to discuss more serious problems.

One of the major concerns of the Stu­ dent Council is promoting school spirit.

In such an attempt we sponsored a student-faculty soccer game in the fall.

We also set aside a couple of days on which the students were allowed to wear non-uniform sweaters or hats.

During the Christmas season the coun­ cil sponsored a small drive to collect money to send to a children’s welfare camp in Korea. Donations were com­ pletely voluntary, and we were pleased to collect approximately sixty dollars to send as a gift.

As always, the Student Council spon­ sored several fund-raising projects to earn enough money to cover all expenses and buy a gift for the school. We found that selling Halloween candy and Christ­ mas wreaths were both fun and profit­ able. As in the past few years, the coun­ cil joined with the Home School Asso­ ciation in running a magazine drive.

Profits from this year plus the money 7

left to us by last year’s council brought the treasury to over $1300.

With this excess of money, the Stu­ dent Council was happy to donate one hundred dollars to the Social Committee to help pay for the band at the Kimber­ ley prom. The prom, a dinner dance, was held at the Orange Lawn Tennis Club on April 27th. It was under the supervision of Kathe Appenzellar, head of the Social Committee, and Mrs. Law­ rence, dean of girls.

The Student Council this year has tried its best to govern the school with the wishes of the student and the admin­ istration in mind. Although we did not accomplish everything that was desir­ able, we feel that this year has been very successful, and we wish the best of luck to the Student Council of 1969.

ALUMNAE-VARSITY HOCKEY GAME

The weather was on the wet side, but nothing could dampen the spirit as the Alumnae-Varsity hockey, game was played at Kimberley in October.

Alas, the alumnae went down to de­ feat, but their honor was saved by Gail Tomec Kerr s goal. The Varsity achieved three goals — two by Dawn Geannette and one by Nancy Penick. At least, it is encouraging to know that Dawn and Nanc^will soon be alumnae!

This annual “classic” is planned again for the coming year. Circle Saturday, October 19th on your calendar now and join us to play or cheer. Families are welcome to spectate, and refreshments are provided for all.

Carol H umphrey W hite ’52 Vice President, Alumnae Association ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION REPORTS

As in previous years, Kimberley sent girls to the Pocono Hockey Camp for a grueling but rewarding week. The girls learned skills that they exercised in the many hockey games of the season.

The school year opened with many activities. The A.A. converted one of the

classrooms into a six-hole miniature golf course for the annual Karnival.

To promote spirit, a student-faculty soccer game was held. The teachers, as well as the girls, were attired in various costumes of their own creation. It was a hilarious Halloween happening that was fun for all. The score was three to one in favor of the students. There was no real winner for the field was spotted with many girls who had dropped from exhaustion.

The Alumnae-Varsity game on Octo­ ber 14th was another hectic one. The “undergrads” managed to defeat the alumnae three to one. A car wash held on the same day, was rained out later on in the afternoon. Another car wash was scheduled for April 26th.

Again, Lynn Sanders ’64 helped Mrs. Jones with the basketball ■season. How­ ever, the girls were unsuccessful in their attempt to illustrate their skills. Hopes for a more successful ’69 season were evident.

The water ballet, headed by Kathe Appenzellar ’68, was able to produce four performances of the Four Seasons.

Although they were hampered by a lack of time and much illness, hard work and 8

determination pulled them through.

Spring was also a busy time for the Kimberley girls. Lacrosse and tennis be­ gan with high expectations of successful seasons. The Invitation Tennis Tourna­ ment will be held on May 17-18-19 at Kimberley. The girls will try to retain the trophy for another year. Kimberley has won it for four of the five years.

Luscious candy, Kimberley night­ shirts, Kimber-Lee pins, and Kims were sold at Kim’s Korner. Kim’s Korner is open every day at lunch to the upper school and on Monday to the lower school.

The A.A. luncheons were not as well attended as they were in previous years.

I hope that next year the girls will back the teams more enthusiastically. The cheerleaders added spirit and support to the players, and hopefully the teams will be supported next year.

The girls have worked hard this year, and on A.P.E.S. night, awards will be given not only to them, but also to other students who have earned them. I hope next year will be a year of equal and even greater support.

Follow­ ing a hospitalization, Mrs. Murphy, Joe’s mother, moved over with them, in a little guest house of her own, built to the rear of the Rayermann’s home. Ed, Joe’s husband, has been steadily work­ ing at his graduate courses at U. C. L. A., and, this June, will be awarded his Mas­ ter’s Degree in Engineering. After that big event, all the family will take off on a leisurely vacation.

Phyl Harder Reiniger’s year-end re­ port was bursting with news, though not all good. Last July their daughter, Shar­ on, was struck by a car, and suffered a fractured skull. However, she reported­ ly recovered far more rapidly from the experience than her mother did! Phyl’s husband, Dick, is now with Airborne Freight as Regional Vice-President. The Reininger’s vacations are generally for skiing, Colorado and elsewhere, and the whole family enjoys the sport. The two older boys, Craig and Fred, are active in Scouting, particularly in the line of camping and canoeing. Phyl has served this past year as President of the Skid­ more Club, and Chairman of Junior League Art Docents.

The town will miss Eleanor’s tremendous jobs, through the Junior League, in Mental Health and many other fields. Their church, minis­ ter and wife, included, are already draped in black, for they have been teacher, deacon, fund-raiser and rabble rousers. All their friends are very sad.

Ginny Schwartz Balz sent me a Christ­ mas newsletter and it made me so jealous I tore it up into tiny, miserable pieces and threw it out! Now, you want to know why? “The lure of far-away places in 1966 found us enjoying the music of Vienna, the beauty of the Aus­ trian Alps, quaint Alsatian villages, along the Rhine, Luxemburg, pilgrimage to Canterbury, in Kent, England, etc., etc., etc., etc. We get to Glenora, New York in summer.

Diane Stoney Moore is “Awfully busy here. Hospital Auxiliary, chairman of school Flower Show, co-chairman of P.T.A.

1955 Mrs. James Brenza (Leigh Eberstadt) R.D. #1, Peekskill Hollow Road Putnam Valley, New York 10579 With Saigon so much in the news, one can’t help thinking of Carol Turtle.

When she wrote at Christmas time, things were busy but not dangerous in the city. Carol became an officer in the United States Foreign Service last year and her first post was Saigon. She men­ tioned particularly the many congress­ men visiting there on fact finding trips.

Despite the tension and lack of holidays, she said, “It’s been a fascinating year — wouldn’t have missed the experience!”

She is due to return from Viet Nam in July.

In a wonderful long letter, Susan Oley Kolb tells of her happy life in Houston, Texas. Bonnie Jo, 4 years old, was joined by a brother, Charlie, two years ago. The family’s hobby is camping which they have been doing since the children were five weeks old. They have a Trade Wind camper, and with it they toured Texas, Northern Mexico and the Grand Canyon last year. The Kolbs have also moved to a new house recently and are spending much time starting a garden and decorating the interior.

Carol Cloke Orr writes from Califor­ nia that all is well. P.D. and Debbie are both in school now and Carol is enjoy­ ing many activities that her new found daytime freedom permits. The Orr’s spent their vacation last year in Florida.

Another traveling classmate is Susie Forstmann. She was olf to Puerto Rico last time we talked. While in New York she spends time doing freelance interior decorating. Too, she has become very fond of tennis, and enjoys playing at least three times a week.

Diana Brown Baldwin reports that, “. . . life is never dull” at her eightyacre farm, “Arden Lea.” The Baldwins still love horses and now have fourteen of them.

Carrie Cox Eckert writes that her hus­ band, Bob, has finished his studies for his Master’s Degree after attending class­ es at night for four and a half years.

They are justly proud. Mark is now in the 3rd grade.

A new horse has joined the menage of Nancy Joyce Banta and Peter. Now they have two thoroughbreds which they en­ joy riding and jumping in the country­ side in Montvale. They have bought a horse trailer and plan to do a good bit of hunting this summer. They have bred their Labrador Retrievers this year and found it hard to part with the pups.

They have also indulged their love of old

cars by buying a vintage ArmstrongSidley. It is marvelous. Too, Nancy has found time to embark on restoring their house. It was definitely dated as having been built in 1790. In addition, vacation took them to Jamaica, this year which they loved. It was a nice break from February’s cold.

Beth Hyde Whittemore is still deeply involved in voluntary service to the com­ munity. She is on the Women’s Associa­ tion Board at Morristown Hospital, and heads its committee on Nurses’ Scholar­ ships. She works on the Centenary fund drive and is active in the Junior League.

Nevertheless, most of her time is given to her two children, Tommy, who is in Kindergarten and Jennifer, three years old. Beth is still artistic and creative and loves to do crafts projects with them.

Beth reports that Diana Donlin Mell has moved to Bernardsville and has three boys. Also, she said that Alison Walker Scott has had a baby, a girl, making her family three boys and a girl.

Another new mother is Marilyn Walrath Elliot. The Elliot’s welcomed their first child, a son, Scott Andrew in No­ vember. Also, the Elliots have moved to Chagrin Falls, Ohio.

Had brief Christmas notes from sev­ eral of our classmates. Jackie Byrne Devendorf says that all is well with them and that their three sons are growing fast. Carol Hanschka Traenkle reports that her daughter, Wendy, has started Kindergarten and loves it, Scott is a “typical terrible two year old lovable little boy.” She finds motherhood won­ derful but that it does keep her busy. A trip to New Jersey next summer is the plan of Lynn Homeyer Ramshaw, Jack and their two boys. They are fine and still love Florida.

Pris Cole III is enjoying a wide va­ riety of community activities. She and Peter have just completed a year as co­ presidents of the Home School Associa­ tion at Washington School in West Cald­ well. She is treasurer of the Junior Women’s Club of West Caldwell and chairman of their Block Parent Organ­ ization. Little Perry is two years old now, and Debbie and Heather are big school girls and girl scouts now. Too, the Ill’s had a lovely skiing vacation this winter.

Cecily Wilson Lyle and her family have bought a farm in the south of France. They plan to move there in late April. It will be quite a change for the five children after life in Manhattan.

The whole family is looking forward to the country life of Provence.

Here at the Brenza’s there is quite a bit of news. Most important — we have a daughter! Amy Clarissa was born July 23. We are all enjoying her inordi­ nately. Even her brothers find her a de­ light. Also, I have become a columnist.

My opus, “The Country Gardener” ap­ pears in our weekly paper, The Putnam County Courier (that name seems to be following me around). Really, I have to be accurate and research everything I write. The end result is that I am learning as much as I am teaching about gardening. Nonetheless, it is very re­ warding and fun. Also, I’m still as in­ volved in community activities as ever; we even founded a Nursery School here this year. Karl loves it. Jim and I did get away for a vacation (he did some business) last fall. We spent a week in Stockholm and one in swinging London.

Again, thanks to all for your notes — and please continue to write. Since so many of us have moved recently, I’ll send out a new address list soon. See you at reunion!

1956 Mrs. Robert R. Cole (Betsy Hasbrouck) 30 Devon Road Darien, Connecticut News is scarce this year, and I thank those of you who included some items with your annual giving contribution.

If you enjoy reading about your class­ mates, please do try and submit some news during the year. Thank you!

Jane Crawford Davis is expecting a third child in April. She and her family reside in Northfield, Massachusetts, and Jane writes that she is a member of the Junior Branch of Organized Work at the Franklin County Public Hospital and does volunteer work there.

A big welcome to Sabrina Odell Smith who has joined the family of Linda Lov­ ell Smith. Last fall the Smiths moved from Washington to what Linda calls a “stucco wonder” in Moutain Lakes, New Jersey. She says Nancy Prescott Ward lives about ten minutes away and that she saw Judy Lindeman there at a Christ­ mas party. Scott, now 6, writes Linda, is presently enjoying the mysteries of time, numbers, and letters in Kinder­ garten.

Out in Eugene, Oregon, Lilia Emetaz Binney is well occupied as a provisional member of the Junior League, treasurer of Sorority Epsilon Sigma Alpha Inter­ national, assistant chairman of daughter Elizabeth’s Kindergarten class, and as a Sunday School teacher. Lilia came East last July and again for Christmas.

Gail Zabriskie Wilson gave birth to a fourth child and third daughter, Sarah, last August. Recently the Wilsons have moved to Poughkeepsie, New York, where Peter is associated with IBM. In January Bob and I visited Bart and Henny Nelson Skeen in Baltimore. Henny keeps busy with Andy, now 2, a new house, and Junior League activities, and she is expecting a second child in July.

Bart is ambitiously working towards a law degree at night school. Later in March on a combined business-pleasure

trip south, Bob and I had a happy re­ union in Atlanta with Jerre and Janie Goodwillie Swann. After clerking in New York City for two years, Jerre ac­ cepted a position with a law firm there last September. During our one day in Atlanta, Janie gave me a marvelous tour of the city, and I got a quick peek at their apartment and cute son, Toby, born last May, before we joined our husbands for a fun dinner.

That’s all for now — next year I hope I will be able to include news of everyone of you!

1957 Mrs. A. Hager Bryant ;sMJoan Wallace) 55 Mountain Road Verona, New Jersey 07044 Our tenth reunion last June was at­ tended by three members of ’57: Penny Gray Anderson, Benylou Mearin and yours truly. As we glanced through our Kimberleaves, we said too often, “0, remember so-and-so? I wonder what’s ever happened to her?” Another year has passed, and still no clues leading to the ever growing number of “missing persons.” 1 On with the news of those who have kept in touch . . .

Connie Hay became Mrs. Wichard van Heuven in July. They had a wonderful Bay Head wedding, complete with a de­ parture by boat followed by a bride’s bouquet that missed the dock by inches!

The van Heuvens are living in Albany, where Wick practices eye surgery. Week­ ends, they can he found renovating their farmhouse in Vermont.

Joanne Rowland Osgood and Dick have left “humid Houston” and are hap­ py to be back in the North again. They are living in Ohio, where Dick is a geol­ ogy professor at the College of Wooster.

Their offspring total two: Stephen, 4%, and David, 1%. Joanne was in Mont­ clair recently to be in her*ister, Pat’s, wedding.

Lynne Kenny Scott and Simon made their annual summer pilgrimage from Ontario to Montclair last July. This year they had added a new member, son Alec, then all of eight weeks ■ — too young to join his big brother Thomas, Mark Bryant and John Tanner in the backyard pool.

A call from Peggy Myers in January caught me up on her news. She is now going to Boston University full time and studying pre-med courses. Peg said, “It’s been quite an experience readjusting to term papers and scolars’ hours after be­ ing in business.” An admirable endeavor.

Good luck to you, Peggy!

Christmas at Joan Krebs Neuhoff and Bob’s, according to Tukie Blondel ’32, sounded like an oldtime comedy. As the gift arrived, the four children, two dogs, and other menagerie ran outside to see Santa’s surprise. A van door opened

and out stepped a pony for the children and a horse for Joan. Between the glee­ ful shouts of the children and the playful nips of the dogs, the “presents” didn’t stay around long and soon galloped off to the hills. Joanie came up from Kins­ ton for Connie’® wedding, and we had such fun catching up on all the news.

Georgia Sherman Glick writes, “Tom is fulfilling his military obligation at the National Communicable Disease Center in Atlanta. Meanwhile, I am teaching high school English and find this an in­ teresting sociological, as well as educa­ tional, experience. On the whole, we are enjoying our life in Atlanta, which has a kinder climate than the New York or Boston area. In two years, we expect to be back north.”

Jennifer Bonnell Goodrich joined Jean, Rim and sister Wendy in July.

Jeanie writes that, “Vermont winters seem to be endless, and we look forward to spring and the mountain greenery.

Wendy, 2%, attends nursery school a few times a week. In my spare time, I am also raising an Alaskan Malamute puppy!”

Joan Keller McFarland and Bruce are slowly covering the state of Massachu­ setts. Since our last bulletin, they have moved again; this time to Greenfield, a lovely area in the hills of northwestern Massachusetts. We spent a weekend with the McFarlands in August and had a wonderful time. Joan and I talked our husbands into baby sitting while we toured the Deerfield Village Restoration and antiqued. Scott is now 4% and Brian, 1%.

Please write your news over the com­ ing year! Hoping to hear from more of you! ! !

1958 Mrs. Burke Sabel (Betsy Cole) 5851 S.W. 86th Street South Miami, Florida 33143 M -./0 7 7 / REUNION The biggest news this year is that of our 10th reunion in June. I hope all of you in the area will make a special ef­ fort to he there. It should be fun to see how much Kimberley has changed since we graduated.

In the Vital Statistics department we have news of two marriages and two births.

In June of 1967 Joan Eberstadt was married in Montclair to Mr. William Morrow Weiant, 2nd. Bill was graduated from Amherst in 1960 and from N. Y. U., with an M.B.A Degree in 1964. He is presently with the investment firm of Eastman Dillon, Union Securities & Co. It is my impression that they are living in New York City but we do not have a current address.

Sally Braddock was also married last June in New Jersey to Robert Sunderl1 oQ

land Dinsmore. Robert is a graduate of Princeton University and received a PhD. in Mathematics from Stanford University. He is the owner of the Dins­ more Book Stores in Sacramento. Sally writes»W e were married June 17,1967.

Had a wonderful honeymoon in the Brit­ ish lies and Sun Valley. No children on the way yet but our cat has had many kittens. I am now managing the Davis branch of Giselle’s Travel Inc. having been with the firm for 3 years.”

On August 14, Anne McCormick Leeby gave birth to “Another gorgeous Leeby Male,” Christian Noble Leeby, who weighed in at 9 lbs. Their year of 1967 included a move to a new home in April, lots of visitors, including Mary.

O’Donnell in August, and a happy and prosperous years for Reg at Pepsi.

On November 29,¿v, John Quincy Adams Doolittle, III was born to June Dallery Doolittle in Newport, Rhode Is­ land. June writes, “I am still teaching classical guitar and carrying out “Facul­ ty-wifely” duties at St. Georges. We are definitely leaving for France in Septem­ ber, and depending on the generosity of Mr. Fulbright, will stay one or two years.”

A Christmas note from Penny Haskell Cost relayed the following news: “We are back in Henniker for one last year while Skip works on his PhD. and teaches part time. We’ll be looking for a new j ob next year — so who knows where we’ll be.”

Although I missed seeing Nancy Fer­ ris this Christmas, I learned from her parents that she is back again working for IBM hut this time in Wilmington, Delaware.

A surprise note from Virginia Rhoades Newkirk includes the following news: “We have lived in our own home for about 3% years in the nice college town of Claremont. Our 2 sons, Jeff, age 5, and Bob, age 2, love California living.

My husband, Dick, who works for Dia­ mond Shamrock won a trip to Hawaii on the sales incentive program. We are going in April — can’t wait.”

Gail Garnar Jacobus and husband Jake have moved back to the Montclair area. They had a baby girl, Katherine, March 23rd.

Pat Baldanza Godard surprised me with a call last fall after catching my pic­ ture in the local paper. She and her husband Bill have been living in Coral Gables for 4 years. From 1964-66 they owned and ran the Conlan School — a private high school with 20 students.

Pat and Bill taught eleven subjects be­ tween the two of them. They had to close the school due to zoning regula­ tions which did not allow them to ex­ pand the school the way they wanted.

Pat is now selling Real Estate and Bill is working in the investment field.

As for the Sabels we are now living in Miami where Burke is working for Eastern Airlines in the Quality Control Department. I have kept busy with the Junior League Provisional Course and with substitute teaching at David and Lizabeth’s school. I am hoping to take on a full-time position there next Sep­ tember. We were lucky recently to have spent a glorious weekend in Puerto Rico. It was our first real vacation in a long time and a welcome change. This winter has brought just about all of our relatives here for a visit. Needless to say we’ve seen more of Miami in the past two months than in all the preceeding months put together.

Guess that’s all. I’ll be looking for­ ward to seeing many of you at Reunion next June. Since no one has volunteered to take over the duties as class secretary I am passing them on for one year to Anne McCormick Leeby, 135 Fairfield Street, Fayetteville, New York 13066.

Please send all your news to her. If any­ one knows the whereabouts of the fol­ lowing members of the class please send their addresses to Kimberley. Betsy Barney Johnston, Anne Bobst Highley-, Joan Eberstadt Weiant, Nancy Ferris, Gail Garnar, Carol-]o-Grosse Gianinni, Margie Heydt Bonner, Mary O’Donnell, Carol Schoonmaker, Margo Williamson.

1959 Mrs. Robert P. Sumas (Deana Rogers) 85A Tierney Drive Cedar Grove, New Jersey 07009 Another year has passed, or should I say flown by? Since last year, Bob and I welcomed a daughter on June 3rd. She arrived well after I took my final, but I must admit it was a bit nerve-racking since she was supposed to be early.

Tammia is like her mother •— bringing up the rear by being late.

By the time you read this, Bob and I will have moved into our new home. I must admit I’m a bit apprehensive, since Tammia will be just starting to walk.

Oh joy!

Enough about me. Karen Shaver Wesley and Bob have bought a home in Deerfield, Illinois, about twenty-five miles north of Chicago. Bob, who is a consultant with Ernst and Ernst, and Karen welcomed a son, Robert John, Jr., on February 14, 1968.

Judy McConnell Beram and George are living in Brookline. Judy tried teach­ ing for a year after she graduated from Smith. She left that to try city planning.

For two years, Judy was an interviewer for a federal research project: the Ma­ ternal and Infant Health Study, at Chil­ dren’s Hospital in Boston. Motherhood claimed her last fall, and I can imagine Judy must be very busy. Good luck with your little one!

Sue Wechsler Rose and Elly are living in the city with their daughter, Amy.

She graduated from Smith in ’64 and went on for a Master’s from Columbia.

She and Elly were married in ’66. They are expecting a brother or sister for two year old Amy in June.

Barbara Brady Beeker is living in Washington with her redheaded son, Duff. After she graduated from Wheaton in ’63, Barbara went to work as a “sys­ tems engineer trainee” with IBM. She married an IBM linguist the following year, and “Duff” (Gray Arlen) arrived a year later. Unhappily, Barbara lost her husband in August ’66 to a long bout with leukemia. Our deepest sympathy to you, Barbara.

She saw Jarvis Reilly Nolan and her son two years ago. Last February, Nan­ cy Wood spent a weekend with Barb.

This fall Barb hopes to be able to work part time. Good luck!

Harriet Fischer and Lea Fitzhugh'flew to Costa Rica, where they were guests of a U. S. Embassy staff member. Harriet and Lea traveled all over Costa Rica by car. Sounds like a great trip, girls.

Lea is now teaching in Denver. Over Washington’s Birthday, Lea and Harriet went on a four-day skiing trip to Aspen.

Harriet is a programmer for Mutual Benefit Life Insurance. Even though we both live in Cedar Grove, we have been unable to get together.

Marianne Doran Steinhacker and Bob welcomed a son, Robert Leo, on March 9th. “He’s an absolutely perfect child,” I quote the proud mama. Marianne and Bob moved to a larger apartment. Bob changed his residency to radiology, which means they’ll finish up in Roches­ ter in June ’71. By then, Marianne hopes to complete her Master’s, which she may start work on in the fall.

Joan McConnell took her Ph.D. com­ prehensive exams in romance philology and passed them on her first try. Good work, Joan! She hopes to have her dis­ sertation completed by October. Along with all her research, she is also teach­ ing Italian at Queens College and Pace College. As if doing just the disserta­ tion weren’t enough! tion wasn’t enough!

The past few summers, Joan was in Florence, Italy, as assistant to the direc­ tor of the Sarah Lawrence Summer Ses­ sion. After school ended, Joan traveled for six weeks. That’s pretty hard to take!

Joan and her sister, Teena, who is now a soloist with the New York Gity Ballet, still share an apartment in New York. In Februray, they went to Jamaica for a week.

Girls, I hate to bring this up, but next year we will have our tenth reunion. I would appreciate addresses and/or in­ formation on the following: Barbara (Barbie) Bowen Frost, Kathy Kuzmick, Sigrid Lund, Pat Rowland, Charlotte Hope Horton, Jarvis Reilly 19

Nolan, Lily Solmssen, Lois Weisser.

Many are traveling this summer and will then begin work­ ing. Anne Beard, after being graduated from Skidmore this June will travel in Europe and then return to work in New York City in the fall.

Mary Beatrice Crawford Fry was mar­ ried last June to Dennis Fry, a dental student at Fairleigh Dickinson Dental School. Bea has been working as a sec­ retary in West Caldwell since she was graduated from Katherine Gibbs in 1966.

Linda Brennan will be graduated from Marymount College this June and then travel in Europe for the summer.

Barbara Mahler announced her en­ gagement to a graduate of Cornell. She plans to be married this summer.

Sally Debb is living in New York City and working for UNICEF at the United Nationf§§| Randi White and I will join the exodus to Europe after being graduated from Bucknell University and Wellesley Col­ lege, respectively.
