DIRECTOR OF ALUMNAE AFFAIRS

Dear Friends: The first time I entered Kimberley all on my own was through the back door of the music room. I had no key and the door was open there because Mr. Peters, our custodian, was scrubbingthefloorinthatroom. I stepped into the soapy water, slid and fell, whereupon Mr. Peters roundly scolded me for dirtying his soapsuds. Some start for the new Head­ master, 1 thought!

I have taken care to be considerate of the janitors, and things have gone better since then. Regardless of the style of my arrival®! felt at the time that I had lots to say. Now, upon leaving, it all seems said, and that, among other reasons, is why this farewell letter is a hard one to write.

Indescribably intense feelings and poignant memories have accumulated, displacing words, because life in a school like Kimberley is very deep and real. It affects one in remarkable ways.

I have been so proud of Kimberley and its enduring vitality—and grateful to all the individuals from Mr. Peters right on through who have so obviously cared about the work of the school and, as staff members, teachers, students, parents, alumnae, trustees and good friends, have fostered its spirit. Margot and I have treasured our association with these very special, hard working, open hearted people of Kimberley since 1964 when I slipped on the soap.

Because of the care we see and because of fresh new efforts on the part of the students now here (efforts like Susan Read's "Student Affairs Committee,'' which everyone should hear about) we can all have easy faith in the future.

Kimberley's important values and ideals will be preserved.

Margot, Ward and I have loved it here and will remember you with warm affection. For all your thoughtfulness, support, and friendship, which makes it so, we thank you sincerely.

Richard Loveland

Richard K. Loveland Headmaster, 1965-1973 The arrival of Richard K. Loveland at Kimberley in 1965 was a heralded event! “ Such enthusiasm and vitality!" “ Such a conta­ gious smile!"

Mr. Loveland's zest and friendly mfijner prompted the students to enter his name in a contest called "Principal of the Year." “ We (the students and lots of our parents) saw this as a gesture of warm welcome to our new headmaster. We went so far as to print a stamp with his name on it—and this was in great demand during recess, lunch period, study halls, and yes, classes, too!" “ One girl had a party with the explicit purpose of filling out index cards with the information the contest sponsors demanded." “ Mr. Lo\||land brought something we were all so happy to have at Kimberley— not just 'maleness'— but warmth and obvious dedication."

Superlatives abound when alumnae gather to discuss their days at Kimberley under the guidance of Mr. Loveland, and now, as we wave him westward to Crystal Springs, let us capsulize the legacy of accomplishment, encouragement, wisdom, and brickand-mortar with which he endows us.

After leaving Princeton with honors in economics and sociology in 1951, Richard Loveland went to Korea as a First Lieutenant and served as an Artillery Executive Officer and Forward Observer for two years. During his time in K o r e a , e x p e r i e n c e in com­ municating with and instructing fifty non-English-speaking Korean soldiers, and his endeavors to teachMiterate G .l.'s to read, sparked his interest in teaching as a lifetime career.

Upon his return to civilian life, he became Chairman of the History Department at Avon Old Farms School «C o n n ecticu t and Director of a summer camp in New Jersey. He went on to become Assistant Headmaster at Buffalo Seminary and thera Academic Dean at the Friends School in Washington, D.C. before coming to Kimberley.

Along the way, he never forsook his love of teaching and man­ aged to conduct classes in one of his favorite fields, history, at all times. At Kimberley he added seminars in education to his schedule.

During the summer of 1959, he was ¡n str||to ro f Russian history at Syracuse University and, on the Side, he taught himself “ at least a few basics'Bn Russian. Summers have often found him trodding the historical paths throughout»rope, but his greatest academic love is American history. Every night before retiring he reads at least a halflSour of history and, in the future, he sincerely hopes to write, “ p e & p s a biography of a Revolutionary general." “ General Arthur St. Clair interests me greatly," says Mr. Loveland, who disdains to be called, “ D r." Iw u g h he has earned a PhD. in Education Administration.

W hile headmaster here at Kim berley,Be devoted tremendous time and effort to the continuation of good, meaningful student government; gargantuan building improvement and constructors long range planning— and, of course, fund raising.

He guided a sensitive group of intelligent young students through the trauma provoked by the Vietnam conflict and the eruption of the drug culture. He repeatedly called upon H s students to pause, and define thoughtfully for themselves THE G O O D fflFE. He called for excellence and challenged Kimberley girls to “ stand

out as truly distinguished and to be proud of it." He reminded them in many well put phrases that "without a reservoir of infor­ mation, good decisions are unlikely in a world of plural choices."

He constantly strove to point out to his students that each person must fin d w e real meaning o fm s being and cherish a Bo ve of certain, unseen things, such as decent values a r S virtues and service to fellowmen."

Much of Richard Loveland's wisdom derives from his great familiarity with the classics, but there are other w ifsprings from which he draws his strength. Since the days when he roamed h¡^grandfather's hilly farmland, and hunted in the then.rural areas of Cranford, New Jersey, he has venerated the outdoors life. In recent years he has shared his love of wilderness camping with his thirteen year old son, Ward.

And, as a member of the Company of Military Historians, based in Rhode Island and especially, as a member of the Western Histori­ cal Association, based in Salt Lake City, he renews his- zest foa history by visiting sites of Fur-Trading Posts, Indian Battles, and other Landmark events.

Also, as a commendable but modest oil painter, he is imbued with a ¿ove of art, which in turn enriches his life (and is the inspiration for the aesthetic delights w hicBhave adorned the halls of Kimberley in recent years).

Once a Yearbook committee asked him to "choose a few lines of poetry whmh in’,some way defined or described g|m or H s outlook on life," and though this reviewer is unaware of his choice at that would like to suggest that, “ The World p 'so full of a number of things/I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings," or the familiar, “ I am king, I am king, of the hills, of the hills/And th.e land of the sky, is my own, | | my own" might well describe this man vHo has always made decisions after seeking f f | own counsel, and has a smile and renewed enthusiasm with which to greet each day.

The new addition to Kimberley was formally dedicated on May 19,1973 in honor ofthe Penickfamily. Many members ofthisMontclairfamily have attended the school and have served in leadership capacities through the years. “ The Penick Center" houses five classrooms, a publications room, the Junior High resource center, a piano practice room, a music studio, a dining hall, a kitchen, and a 530-seat meeting hall. It has been buiIt with funds from the Decisive Years Capital Program.

CURRENTLY AT KIMBERLEY

New "Patterns" A common lament heard among many highschool and college alumnae is, “ I've a good background in Elizab eth an dram a and in mathematical physics, but how can these aid me in joining community life after my schooling is completed?" Kimberley's staff, recognizing the need for more active student participation in life outside the school, developed "concept week" April 23-26, and offered various pro­ grams to grades 7-12. A grant for this exciting program was given to Kimberley by the Edward E. Ford Foundation, Lakeville, Conn.

The Senior Class pursued an Independent Study Seminar away from the school for four days. Under the direction of the English and Science departments, each student was given a project in “ Patterns in our National Environ­ ment." W hile away at a private country home in Andover, N.J., the class learned to find and compare patterns in ecology and nature using various media. 35 mm movie cameras, canvas, paints, sketch books, journals, and clay were used to investigate and record patterns in nature.

Each Senior met with an advisor before and after the project to evaluate goals and results.

The Junior C lass had chosen to explore “ Cultural Patterns" in dance, music, theatre and fine arts. Together with the faculty, the students shaped and defined their own “ concept week" of independent study. The entire class, with the exception of a few girls who went to Quebec to study "Patterns in Social W elfare," partici­ pated in various cultural events. Among the lec­ tures, was a pre-performance ballet discussion

by Mrs. Vincent Thomas followed by the open­ ing night of S le e p in g Beau ty w ith R u do lf N ureyev. A trip to the C lo isters, W hitney Museum, and an N .B .C . Building tour were among some of the week's highlights.

The Sophomore Class investigated "Patterns in Conflict"— in individual lives, in the com­ munity and in international relations. One group of students worked a full day at the Essex County Center for Environmental Studies and helped renovate trails, w hile another assisted at the South End Day Care Center. Conflict in art and drama was discussed and discovered during an afternoon at the Museum of Modern Art and an evening at the theatre. Conflict in the com­ munity was investigated after viewing a video­ tape of the Regional Plan Association's study on housing. Dr. David Alloway, Department of Sociology, Montclair State College conducted this lecture. Finally the 10th grade glimpsed con­ flict in individual lives with the assistance of an expert in human relations, Dr. Robert FJawl-

ey, Director, Educational Research Associates.

"Patterns of Modern Day Life" was the con­ cept program chosen by the 9th grade. Groups of girls visited the Montclair Parks Department and worked with D irector Robert H aw kins doing yard work, and water sample collection from local rivers, brooks and ponds. A morning was spent at the Cedar Grove Sewage Treatment Plants. Trips to a food warehouse, fish hatchery, and game farm were also on the agenda. In S e w York City some students visited an advertis­ ing agency, while others spent a morning at the Environmental Center in Roseland. A full day was spent investigating Product Research and Product Testing.

Finally, grades 7 and 8 combined, pursued their "concept week" at the school with . the exception of one day when they participated in "Outward Bound", a professionally run pro­ gram of ski 11and self-awareness. Al I the students along with the faculty, friends, and parents drew upon the girls' "interest lists" to provide for them a program of supervised activities. Too many to list, some'included: cooking, sewing, needle­ point, pottery, gymnastics, tinsel painting, mac­ ramè, creative wafting, modern dance and chess.

In addition, two extensive Com m unication Workshops were also conducted for the two classes.

At the conclusion of this creative week an assembly was held and two students from each class presented their program to the others. The girls highlighted events, evaluated their studies in "Patterns," and exchanged reactions to the “ concept week."

Lower School Library Knowing that Grades 2 through 6 would like to have their “ very own" library,yjpace was made avai lable for themSwhen renovations were made in the Lower School. A nice sunny room, adjacent to the 2nd grade's new classroom, holds 3,604 b o o l« magazines, Jjftn strips, and records geared to the interests of the primary grades, The library is staffed by Junior High stu­ dents, and Mrs. Clauson, Kimberley Librarian, reports that they do "a perfectly wonderful job."

The Lower School girls are still welcome to use, and do use, the main library.

Electives for Phys Ed The Physical Education Department greatly expanded its program this past year. For the first time, during the winter term, students in grades 9 through 12 had an elective program which included fencing, modern dance, slimnastics, basketball, archery, badminton, v o i leyball, swimming, and indoor golf, tennis and gymnastics. Each girl was able to have one class a week in each of her top three choices. The prograrrftproved to be very popular as it provided something for everyone.

te a ch in g "................................................. and last but most certainly not le a st...................." . . . bonarffl fortunam" and “ hasta la vista" to Miss Ruth Bosshard upon her retirement from the teaching profession. Ruth has been a member of our faculty for twenty-two years. She has been a teacher of both Latin and Spanish and Head of the Spanish Department. Alumnae from many years w ill remember with appreciation her devoted sponsorship of Chest and Karnival, and the Buck Hill and Northfleld Conferences (including the famous Westtown Conference!).

Ruth is looking forward to doing a lot of travel­ ing and reading and having time for a variety of church activities. A luncheon was held in her B o n o r on May 23rd attended by her students, former colleagues, and the Kimberley faculty and staff.

Mrs. Carol Grieves writes, “ Dick and I are still living in our South Orange home. We have two little tots— Elizabeth who is 2Vi and Walter W illiam who w ill be 7 months. My life is kept busy beyond my expectations with being a mother and a wife. Must admit that our 2)6 year old is learning more about shapes and numbers than about letters. My very best to all!"

A newsy letter from Mrs. Ellen Studdiford tells about herself and others. “ I am still living in our 43 Union Street home— enjoy its central location and the ease with which I can walk to many of the things I do. The house w ill be 100 years old in 1980, but whether I will still be in it I don't know! Last spring, I was working in a one-to-one tutoring program in a first grade at Nishuane School. This spring

I am taking two adult school classes and volun­ teering at the Planned Parenthood Clinic— the latter I've been doing for over a year. We have four 20-patient clinics a week and they are filled about two weeks ahead. Besides these activities, I do quite a few things at the Unitarian Church—time certainly never hangs heavy! Just talked with Miss Jane Bauer in Point Pleasant. She is home from a month in Tucson, Arizona where she was visiting Miss Carpenter's niece. Miss Bauer had a wonder­ ful time and had talked with Miss Van Auw in Phoenix. In closing, I have found a very satisfying pastime in m aking homemade bread!" “ My retirement," says Miss Ruth Hamilton, “ has been like the years before it in that I have continued to see Kimberley faculty, stu­ dents, and alumnae, and they have left in me a delightful glow! The big change has been getting ready for a trip to Greece and the Aegean Islands which is the magic retirement gift of Kimberley. Clothes, shoes, complicated travel plans that a friend and I are engineering are keeping me busy and happy. I'm off in April!"

Since her retirement from Kim berley in 1967, Mrs. Mary Bohn and her husband, Harold, who retired from Montclair State Col■ege in 1970, are still living at 82 Gates Avenue and thoroughly enjoying their freedom to fol­ low their own schedule. Their daughter, Emily M udryk, is in Upper M ontclair. Their son, Norman, is in Charlotte, Vermont, teaching at South Burlington High School. Harold's 95 year old parents in Florida fill a large part of their time.

News from Mrs. Emma Brehm: “ I think it is wonderful that you are to give us news of former Kimberley faculty members and I, per­ sonally, am looking forward to hearing about some of my former associates. Since my family has dwindled so much and I am not too domes­ ticated, I went into the real estate business and am now a broker-salesman with Mountain Lakes Realty, Mountain Lakes. I thoroughly enjoy It— I find it exciting, frustrating, and completely addictive. We cover all of Morris Country which is a. big territory so, as you can imagine, I spend a great deal of time in the car. And now for news of the girls! Winnie Brehm Humphrey '64 is living in Buffalo with Rob and three sons: Shawn, Jr., 3Vi and identi­ cal twin boys, Ryan and Randy, 15 months.

-i

'k

They are a lively crew and keep Winnie run­ ning. They have purchased a large house out­ side of Buffalo and w ill be moving in the end of April. Vicki Fisher Patino '66 and Luis are living in Bogota, Colombia. They have a little daughter, Christina, aged 2Vi. Vicki has lived in Bogota for two years and just loves it. She was here in August and we had a very nice family reunion."

Mrs. Betty Dallery writes, “ Our love for travel was crowned by livingforovertwo years in The Netherlands, which truly has become our second home. Since then, the desire to see new places is always tempered by the pull to go back to see dear friends and favorite haunts. I have just finished my term (as of June 1) as president of The Garden Club of Montclair, and find many compensations in the committees on which I have been serving at First Congregational Church. Most impor­ tant in our Jjuves—four small grandchil­ dren—two boys who belong to June ('58) and J. Doolittle, who Is director of Admissions at St. G eorge's School in New port, Rhode Island., and a boy and girl who are Chip's.

He and wife, Arleen, are teaching philosophy at Stony Brook University."

An interesting letter from Mrs. Priscilla Meek says, “ My husband, Sam, continues to publish childrens' books as Chairm an of W alker Publishing C o ., and also books on ecology, reprints, Emily Dickinson's poems, Eric Sloane's Do's and Don'ts' and a new one on 1776. W e now have a loghouse in Vermont at Guilford up on a mountain where we spend most weekends, picking up the threads of our interest in the local Audubon, Conservation, church organizations and new friends.

My main interest has been the Greenwich Committee for Foreign Relief, which w ill con­ tinue because of the ever increasing need in the devastated countries. Also the Nature Con­ servancy and Natural Areas Committee of the Audubon Society on which I serve plus my church activities give me plenty of action.

Besides this our four grown children and seventeen grandchildren ages 4-24 keep us moving active, and hopefully, young." “ . . . camping in the woods and learning the lessons of nature are the common interests of all.

We celebrated our 51st wedding anniver­ sary and our oldest daughter's 50th birthday last October!"

It was good to hear from Mrs. Alice Morton,

about her husband's sabbatical leave at Cam­ bridge University. “ When my husband first came home with the idea, it seemed too won­ derful to be true, even though it meant for me leaving Kimberley in the middle of the year. We arrived in Cambridge, England, in February, 1972 In the middle of the electric power cuts. This meant little heat and only candlelight, but still it seemed a great adven­ ture. My husband spent his days working in the University Library writing a book, and I wandered around the colleges, the antique shops and the quaint streets and alleys, stand­ ing aside often during change of classes for the hundreds of students on their bicycles. We visited the villages and countryside of this fen area, so similar to Holland in many respects, even to the windmills.

We took our car for a few weeks over to the Continent, visiting my Dutch Relatives in Holland and even managing, because of the late season, to see fields of tulips in bloom.

We then worked our way down through Swit­ zerland and Eastern France to the Cote d'Azur, where we had been lent a villa perched on the hills directly above the blue Mediter­ ranean. The weeks there were all that one could desire. We sunned on the beach, swam, took trips to such varying places as the o f || villages perched on mountain tops, Grasse the pe rfu m e c e n te r, Rom an th e a tre s and aqueducts, visiting pottery and glass craftworkshops, and enjoying the riotous color of flowers and sea. A highlight was the visit to the Matisse Chapel in Venice.

After returning to Britain, my husband went back to Cambridge to stay and work in his old c o lle g e , w h ile I staye d in an old seventeenth-century stone farmhouse in the Lake District, and then went up to Scotland to visit both friends and relatives whom we had known so welltip the years we had lived there." Alice's husband is now back at Seton Hall University, and we enjoy seeing Alice once again at TKS. She has been volunteering as an aide in the Lower School Library twice a week.

More news from England . . . . Mrs. Barbara (Thorsen) Davies and her husband, John, have a new house in London which keeps Barbara busy. John “ comm utes" almost w eekly to Brussels and Common Market duties for the British government. They were guests at Jody Callaghan's wedding in London in January.

Mrs. Ruth Snyder reports: “ My husband is sem S etired now, w hich is delightful and enables us to go to warmer places in the winter and co o le r p laces in the sum m er when finances permit. W e have tried the Caribbean in the winter and Canada in the summer. We visit our daughter, Carol, her husband, Donald and their three children, ages 17-, 15, and 10.

T h e ir su m m er hom e H s on La ke Memphremagog (near the Vermont border).

It is such fun to see them enjoy water sports of alI,kinds. What a fun group! Our son T o im and his wife, Christina live near us in Kinnelon, N.J. They have two little girls, 9 and 4m .

Almost every week we are very happy to have the little girls for supper. They are always wel­ come, and we are so glad they are close by." “ G o in g north in the sum m er a lw a y s includes a trip to Boothbay Harbor, Maine to visit our cousins Don and Jean van Antwerp (TKS Lower School staff) and Marj Bowers.

Other than this simple life, we just spend time in the garden and live a quite lazy, but enjoy­ able life. I continue to keep in touch with Roz Chase (TKS kindergarten). She keeps me posted on all the Kimberley news. My fourteen years in Kimberley Kindergarten were some of the happiest years of my life, with very dear memories."

Mrs. Helen Burtt Mason, former head­ mistress, writes: “ I still read everything that comes from Kimberley and every issue of the ALUMNAE NEWS with great interest. What enormous strides the Alumnae Association has made over the years and how pleased Miss Waring and Miss Jordan would be if they could knowfgj have been retired for nearly four years. My main interest has been in raising money for Wellesley in my capacity as 50th reunion gift chairman for my class.

The great e v e n tjll this June, and there is going to be a very substantial sum at which we are very pleased. After thirty-five years as headmistress of three schools successil l M I have more time to devote to many other interests than heretofore. I have had some very interesting trips—one to Iran and the Greek Isles, one to the Black Sea, the Mediterranean and Moscow, and one to Northern Spain, France, Italy and Austria. Life is very busy for my husband and me. W e divide our time between New York and Connecticut. I am thrilled at the news of the new building at Kimberley and hope to get out to see it soon."

KIMBERLEY ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION

President's Letter Dear Alumnae, The end of a school year is a looking ahead time in many ways, but more often 1 think we tend to look back and try to assess what has happened, where we have been, how we have grown, and how we have changed. We are all a little bit different this June than we w ete,. last September. And this is certainly true of Kimberley.

As your representative to the Board of Trustees, it has been a responsibility-and a privilege for me to be a part of major decisions which w ill shape the future of Kimberley.

The decision to begin a process of unifica­ tion with The Montclair Academy Foundation was the culmination of over a years' thought and study. It became apparent this fall that such an arrangement would be in the best interests of both institutions. This makes the beginning of an exciting and challenging period of development. Plans for the unifica­ tion are still in the beginning stages. I can report that grades 9— 12 have opportunities for “ mixed" classes, and buses wifi .transport students between schools next year, as they have to a somewhat lesser degree this year.

It is strange, but nice, to see boys in the Kimberley halls!

We were all sorry to learn of Dr. Loveland's decision to leave Kimberley for a new position in California. Dr. Loveland has done so much for Kimberley and he w ill be greatly missed by students, faculty, parents, and alumnae. We wish him well and send him off with applause for a job well done.

The trustees feel very fortunate in having hired Nathan A. Fuller to become our new headmaster. Mr. Fuller is bright, experienced, dedicated and a man I feel sure you w ill enjoy knowing. We can look forward to welcoming him at reunions this fall.

So much more has happened— but the above are certainly the most significant.

Every event of the year has been accompanied by the buzz of saws, the bang of hammers and an air of expectation as the new wing has been constructed. As I write this, the finishing touches are being made on this truly smashing addition!

Now to look forward. Reunions in Septem­ ber and we want you a// to come! Reuning classes w ill be doubled up, so that you can see more friends you knew when you were at

school. Come and see how Kimberley has grown and changed. And we want to see how you have grown and changed too!

Have a pleasant summer.

Aubin Zabriskie Ames '54 President

Reunions Since the date for the completion of “ The Penick Center" was abit unsure, we decided to schedule reunions for September this yea™ We w ill honor for double reunions the follow­ ing classes: for their 50th, the classes of 1923 and 1924; for their 40th, the classes of 1933 and 1934; for their 25th, the classes of 1948 and 1949; for their 20th, the classes of 1953 and 1954; for their 10th, the classes of 1963 and 1964; and for thefri'Sth, the classes of 1968 and 1969. And of course all you in-betweens who we hope w ill come too.

Plans are being made for tours of the school, luncheon, and films of YOltlgfpii our new and gorgeous auditorium. Details will follow, but save September 28th for Kimberjgy.

"Non-Event" a Big Success As many of you know, every year the local alumnae sponsor a fund raisingevent— a dance, housetour, theater party, or whatever-.

This year we tried something new— a "NonEvent". We were sent invitations which explained that this year no one had to serve on a committee, make decorations, sell tickets, bake a cake, make phone calls, or even attend, but please to support our “ Non-Event" by sending a check for any amount to help CiJ raise funds for landscaping around the new wing. The response was fabulous! We expect to make a presentation to the ||j:hool in September when we have reunions.^any of you non-local alumnae want to join our beautification effort, s e n # a check to June H u n te r,B |jth e school.

New Cards for Sale Have you seen our new Kirn-Kangaroo play­ ing cards? The Alumnae Association has them for sale for $3 a double deck, or $1.50 for a single. Special thanks to John Foster, husband of June Hayward Foster '54, who designed them for us. Do buy some!

Do you have any old movies of your class? We hope toihow some at reunions in September— let us know if you can contribute.

Kate's husband, Per, is Director of Alumni Affairs at Harvard Medical School and was elected by the AMA to the Council of Medical Education, which keeps him on the move around the country. Last summer he returned to Vietnam for three weeks to be part of a team working to help develop medical schools there. Kate continues to tutor seven children five hours a day, three days a week. In ad d H tion^she works with the Equal Employment Opportunity Committee in Lincoln, Massachi|-;, setts. This is what I call a busy family!

'38 Miss Jane Carpenter 11 Norman Road Upper Montclair, N.J. 07043 Class Agent: Mrs. Frank D. Brown, Jr. (Betty Kane) I am happy to report that there was some response to my letter asking for class news, so instead of being a blank on news of 1938, here goes!

Barbara Bailey Hoey and family have moved from Glastonbury, Connecticut to a home they built in Remsenburg, Long Island. T B is very close to Westhampton Beach where Barbara has spent practically every summer of her life. Her husband Bernard is semi-retired and has played golf every week all winter this year. Barbara has returned to being active in civic affairs again but manages to get in paddle tennis and bicycle riding as w e ll. "T h e town reminds us of Connecticut where we lived for 16 years. Our son, Richard, took a six-month trip last year, arriving home the day before Christmas, having left India just before the war broke. He had been in Pakistan and Nepal and many other countries. Now he is working at Dean Whitter Co. in N .Y .C ."

Ann McNair Bushnell is one of our most faith­ ful alumnae, and I enjoy hearing from her.

Daughter Nell graduates from Beaver College this spring. Son Francis, Jr. is engaged to Kathleen McManamon of Chicago. The wed­ ding w ill be June 30th. Francis is a submarine officer stationed in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Son John graduates from the Princeton Day School in June. Ann is President of the Present Day Club and also serves as a volunteer at the Prince­ ton Medical Center along with Iris Fox of the Class of '39. Life is not dull at the Bushnells.

Betty Kane Brown and her husband Frog have spent several years alternating between their farm and dairy in Maryland and the Brown family's 44,000-acre beef cattle ranch in East Texas. Frog manages this for the rest of his family. This schedule was severly interrupted this winter when Frog had to undergo a serious operation on his circulatory system. He is still recuperating but Betty is now chauffering him to meetings locally in Maryland, and they hope to go to Texas sometime soon. Their married daughter Deborah lives in Fort Worth. Her

husband has a challenging job with the National Bank, and they have one daughter 3-years old and another due in September. Betty and Frog have another daughter Cabrielle who is attend­ ing a coed boarding school. Social life takes precedence over the academic, so things are lively. Her great talent is horsemanship— she is the best cowboy on the ranch!

Holly MitcheljgKimball and fam ily have returned to Montclair to live for the last several yeatgi Holly had two cataract operations last year but has recovered completely and is now working part-time at the Katharine Gibbs S c h o o l. (T h e C la ss of 1938 knew it as Kimberley.) Holly's location is directly above where Miss Waring and Miss Jordan had the principal's office. Holly says, "Is this progress?"

Her husband Ed commutes to Caracas with some regularity, daughter Carla is married and going to Montclair State at the same time, and son Jonathan is at Bard College.

Shirley Jones Durbin wrote sometime ago about her busy life in California. She transcribes braille for blind children, has done much volunteer work for the Red Cross as a gray lady at the Navy Hospital, as well as several church committees. Her oldest son Greg received a fine arts award from high school and is in the College of Creative Studies at the University of California at Santa Barbara. Second son Russell is in Pomona College and plans a career in Medical Research with a major in bio-chemistry. Daugh­ ter Jackie aspires to be a dress designer, making all of her own clothes. The youngest of this family, daughter Frankie is barely over 5 feet tall— small for a Durbin. She must be approach­ ing college by now. Not much leisure time in this family. Shirley expressed a great desire to hear about present day Kimberley, and there is plenty of news there!

I have spent a happy year at the National Council of Churches- working as a Program Assistant for Vietnam Christian Service. This is a rather long shot from the textile market research business which I was in for a number of years, but it has proved rewarding and ties in quite closely with many of my volunteer church activities which have been going on for years. Unemployment kind of forced me to seek other avenues of interest, but it seems to have worked out satisfactorily.

Do let me know If you have news of any of our classmates—yourself or others. There are a few of us still living in Montclair, but not that many, so keep me posted. Next issue will be in the fall.

I took out my R .N . with a degree from Fairleigh D ickinso n U niversity in 1970. I decided that the laboratory technician career, which I adored years ago, was not what I wanted to follow (due to automation) when our 4 children w ill go to college and hubby w ill be retired. . .

I cannot believe that the great personalities and talents and realisms that were shared amongst us have gone completely down the drain! Thank goodness for Janet Mason and Kim M c K e ll— th e ir p re v io u s m essages w e re great— and for Julie and Elizabeth for their current ones. I sincerely thank them all.

Let's do something about our contact right now— life can't be all that bad. If things are spicy and productive— we love you— you will m ake fa n ta s tic c o p y . If you are b lu e , despondent, sorrowful— we still love you— and you have our deepest concern and sympathy.

Kimberley and I need you—every single one o f you. Therefore, show us a little thoughtfuln e s S -g iv e it the 3 d one, tw o, buckle my shoe— just one more time, okay?

Nancy Evenson Drukker's beautiful picture post card of downtown Upper Montclair— signed "the sport"— said, "Sandy— excelling Dean's list; Scott 'really big show MHS; Chris budding Salvador D ali." They sound like chips off the old block to me!

Margie Andrew Brown— from downtown Duxbury: "Just enjoying doing-it-ourselves re­ decorating of newly-acquired house— plus weekends in Vermont, mainly cross-country skiing."

Joan Toner Koehler writes that Kim accepted at Dana Hall for 10th grade next year; Kris has a paper route; Roger happily restoring a '49 W illys jeep (hope it's in as good shape as the rest of that vintage!). She also sent along a brochure of her self-created business ven­ ture— Personalized Effective Placement, Inc., which does specialized job placing full and part time.

Nice letter from Barbara Hollander Peterson who has got to be one of the busiest people in town with her Red Cross work among other things. Husband Stephen is a newly-elected Verona Councilman and son Larry a sophomore at W illiam Paterson College.

Junie Costikyan Cronin's got to be in the same category, working for her father's com­ pany and reigning over the activities of her four teenagers. I collapsed about half-way through her description of a typical day!

Ruthie Lieder, according to sister Jean, has been made Director of Marketing for Elkhorn at Sun Valley, the joint venture of subsidiaries of Sun Valley Corp., and Johns-Manville Corp. with responsibility for advertising, sales promo­ tion, publicity, and public relations. Does anyone care to break the si lence and top that?

Class Agent: Mrs. David L. Kerr (Gail Tomec) I have just received word that Betty Temple­ ton Fiore died of a heart attack on April 27th.

I was very sad and very shocked because in March, Betty had sent me a newspaper picture of her fam ily along with a letter of all their activities.

The pictured appeared in the C incinnati Enquirer on February27th and the headline read “ Family Aids POW Catch-Up." The article said Betty, her husband Frank and sons Jim, 16, and Mike, 14, took five years worth of Sports Illus­ trated magazines to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, in Dayton, for use by returning POW's.

Betty said the family moved to 15 miles north of the city of Cincinnati about five years ago.

Besides Frank and her two sons, Betty leaves her father and her sister, Mertice Templeton McPherson, class of 1949.

Jane Redfield Forsberg and Bob and Anne Dwyer Milne and Norman skiied recently with a group of friends at Sugarloaf, Maine.

Jane wrote awhile back that Bob had a con­ vention in Florida this past winter and that they ■were planning to take the children along and visit Disney World.

She also said she and four other gals held a Barn Boutique in November where they sold their own hand-crafted items, Jane doing decoupage.

Wain Koch Maass and fam ily moved to Chester, Vermont last fall when husband Bill purchased The Chester Building Supply Co. which is involved in selling to contractors plus a small hardware type store.

Wain said they were renting a house until this spring when they hoped to find something suitable or build. We miss you, W ain, but wish you all the best of luck.

Nancy Booth Kelly and David went to Kiel, W est Germ any last August for the Sailing Olympics where David crewed for his brother in the Dragon Class. Nancy said, "although we cannot brag of good sailing, we enjoyed every minute of the Olympics. The Germans did an outstanding job in every way in organizing the O ly m p ics, m arred, unfortunately, by the Israelian incident." After W . Germ any, the Kelly's visited some of Nancy's relatives in Oslo.

After Europe, they rushed back to Nassau for Election Day in September........... “ the results which have and w ill continue to change our whole w ay of life in the Bahamas. May it never come to another Cuba. We face Independence and its problems on July 10, 1973."

Nancy says she's involved in too many out­ side activities, like most of us; Garden Club, American Women's Club, Ranfurly Homes for Children, Hospital Auxiliary, piano lessons and she's on the staff of “ Waterway Guide" as their Bahamas Representative.

That telephone call I made to Mrs. Pendleton last fall worked miracles. Not only did I hear from Babs Pendleton Donnell, but I got to see her entire family for a brief but glorious moment over Thanksgiving.

Jim 's n ew ch u rch is the C o lle g e H ill Presbyterian Church located in industrial Beaver

Valley, 30 miles north of Pittsburgh. Babs is a college senior in elementary ed u catgn (getting A's and B's, per usual) at Youngstown State University hoping to graduate in June 1974.

Daughter Bridget is 15 and a 9th grader, Jane is 12 and a 7th grader and Calvin, who is so great with little children that my g i ll are crazy about him, is 10 and a 5th grader.

Mrs. Fairgrieve gave a lovely party for visiting Jean Fairgrieve Swenson and husband Bob recently. It was all.too brief, but I did get a glimpse of their twin boys who are now 6 and have the longest, blackest eyelashes ever.

I also got a chance to see some of Jean's watercolors which were decorating the house and they really are perfectly lovely.

A clipping from the Decem ber 7, 1972 Manchester Union Leader (New Hampshire) tells us that Anne Dwyer Milne was named -a trustee of The Currier Gallery of Art. Anne is on the Council of the Manchester Institute of Arts and Sciences and is director of volunteers at the Webster School Library. She is also a member of the League of Women Voters, the Senior Associates of Elliot Hospital and the M anchester G arden C lu b . Her husband, N o rm an , is an in s u ra n c e b ro k er and a Representative to the New Hampshire General Court. They have two children^-Susan, 10, and Walter, 9.

'53 Mrs. Thomas Burgin (Lolly Penick) 328 Fairway Road Ridgewood, N.J. Class Agent: Mrs. Robert L. Evans (Carol Snow) A nice letter came to the school from Muriel Murphy Keele. “ My husband and I are avid antique collectors and spend the major portion of our summers pursuing our hobby both here and in New England. W e finally found ourselves spending so much time in Maine that we purchased an old restored Victorian house on Camp Ellis Beach near Kennebunkport, where we now can be closer to the many flea markets and antique shops that we haunt. Our house, incidentally, is considered to be haunted by its original owner, Sarah Benson, although we as yet have not been confronted by her ethereal presence. The people in the neighborhood, however, tell us all sorts of strange stories about the house and are reluctant to go anywhere near the place. I can't help but feel that she is a friendly ghost, though, as she hung the last own­ er's drapes for her during the night. Needless to say, I wasn't quite so fortunate.

Our last year and a half has been spent in the chaos of remodeling and redecorating our twelve-room house in Cherry H ill, N.J. The remodeling was hectic, as there wasn't much privacy with carpenters, masons, etc., always under foot, but the decorating was fun as we were again able to indulge in our favorite pastime." Muriel has two daughters— Carolyn, 3 and Tiffany, 1.

Carolyn Van Vleck Edwards says that she and her children enjoy frequent swims at the YM CA across the street. In addition, she's involved in a “ full complement of activH es from York Children's Theatre, LVW newsheet, board of children's school busy seeking a new headmas­ ter, planned parenthood outreach worker, and arts council. Not to be outdone by his wife, Aldy w ill be taking over as York Regional President of National Central Bank in May. Another busy '56er is Carol Barnard writing from Seattle. At least we know where all the tain didn't go this past year. She continues to free lance as a researcher with a law firm which leaves her time for sewing classes, (“ I'm just as bad now as I was in the 7th grade sewing group at T .K .S ." ), M exican cooking, (“ have gone wild over refried beans & chili peppers,") and hunting for recreation property. Soon it w ill be time to summerize her yacht, “ a 6’/2 ft. dinghy, no speed, no class, but it's safe!"

Kay Merritt McCrosky hasn't had any great voyages recently, even in a 61/2 ft. dinghy. As she tells it, “ John & I love living in N.Y. & we do things that everybody else does— theatre, movies, fun vacations. If we were skydivers or jetted around the world 5 times a year, that would be worthy of mention under “ 1956."

In a recent call to Meredyth Clark Graham's parents, I learned that Meredyth and Tom have a home at 304 Meadow Glen Lane, Media, Penn. 19063, with daughters, Katie 7 and Margaret 4. In addition to tending the home fires, Meredyth is doing volunteer work at Riddle Memorial Hospital.

In the fafeisisue w e reported that Gail Zabriskie Wilson and family have moved to Conn. Here's her new address; 27 Patterson Ave., Greenwich, Conn. 06830.

N.J. In addition to teaching kindergarten and hoping to finish up her Masters (education) at Seton Hall this summer, Sue's involved in an archaeological dig which she says is going to turn out to be the oldest site in the state. Sine«it is located on propeijt| next to the school, her kids are becoming "ve^ pro ficien t archaeolo­ gists." On the h««m> front there are 3 k id * ? schools of guppies, 3 cats, and 3 dogs. Con. .¡rning her attitude about working, she adds; “ Here I am doing almetit exactly what I did before I “ went to work" but enjoying itso much mofe and being paid for it. How great it is to discover that the Board of Health is not going to slap me with a summons if I vacuum and dust o n E o n ce® week!"

Lilia Emetaz McDonald was in Montclair for the Christmas holiday with her husband and children who had fun taking in playsj|n N .Y.C. and enjoying their first subway ride.

'58 Mrs. Reginald Leeby (Anne McCormick) 135 Fairfield Street Fayetteville, N.Y. 13006 Class Agent: Mrs. Ralph H. Perry (Helen Bryant) O u iB 5 th reunion w ill be this June.* How about giving it some serious thought. Sally Braddock Dinsmore is willing to come all the way from Sacramento. Apropos of reunion, Linda Michele Bragg writes; “ Do you have a class liSrof addresses— a “ vital statistics" would be great— husband's name, kids' ages, your in­ terests, .eteSAny chance of compiling one for our 1 5 t ® It is a great idea, w ill be happy to put one together but we need your information.

Please help!

Sally and Bob^insm ore should be our best read couple as Bob owns a (two?) book­ store (s). S a lB is working—well, come to reunion and let her tell you how she got to Montclair. Linda also brought us up to date.

The four Braggs have moved to 602 N.E. 17th Street, Guymon, Oklahoma. They w ill be there two years while Stacy fills his assignS ie n t helping build a dam for flood control.

The Braggs love the area, but w ill be on th^j| way after two years.

Jean Eaglesham Davis has a boy and a girl and did nursing before she found herself so busy

but w ill surely put on the uniform again.

Wendy Worsley Breslin has moved to Potomac, Maryland, and must be fairly near Jean and Carol-Jo. Could you three have a mini-reunion and make plans-to come to Montclair?

Mary O'Donnell is still in Tokyo although she w ill be returning to California late spring, 1973. She continues, to travel and enjoy the benefits of her job but wi II be glad to return to the States. Nancy Ferris Hillegas and Don had a son, Michael, in June who joins sister, Julie.

The four of them spent two lovely weeks at the Vinyard last August.

As I wrote in our last letter, the Leebys were expecting our third baby. In April, 1972 our third son was born but he only lived for two months. In his way, this child brought much to our family which no otheSthild could ever bring. W e've all grown and matured quite a bit in the last months.

This past year has not been one of “ out­ standing organization"— I'm sorry. Send your news and we'll get back to where we were when Betsy did the writing.

Word came to the school recently from Nancy Gilman Breckenridge. “ I am on the boards of the local chapters of both the Ameri­ can Gloxinia and Gesneriad Society and the Indoor Light Gardening Society of America. I am very interested in growing various types of tropical plants and would some day like to have a small business propagating them.

I enjoy playing the piano, clavicord, and re­ corders and have kept up a routine of practice as much as a small child permits. We have numerous cats, turtles, fish, crab (land variety) and a hand tamed tree frog. I also enjoy various handcrafts such as knitting, crochet, crewel embroidery, needlepoint, candle making and macrame— and teaching these crafts to children.'flxlancy and her husband, a physi­ cist with the National Bureau of Standards, and daughter Anita Lee, 41/2, live in Silver Spring, Maryland. *Ed. Note: These class notes were received last winter, unfortunately, too late for the Decem ­ ber issue. Reunions will be held in September so we can enjoy the facilities o f the new wing!

'59 Mrs. Robert P.

News from Betsy Marshall Hood is that she w ill be going to Columbia University next year, working on a PhD in Renaissance litera­ ture. She has been granted a Fellowship by the University for her first year's study.

Cynthia Hooton Magowan writes from Cali­ fornia, “ Merrill and I lived in New York City from March, 1962 to August, 1971. We moved to San Francisco in September, 1971. Life here is far more conducive to golf, tennis and outdoor activity which Merrill and I and our three sons dearly love." Cynthia is director of the Western Opera Theater, and on the boards of St. Mary's Hospital and ARCKS.

'60 Miss Carroll Tiernan P.O. Box #192 Foxboro, Mass. 02035 Class Agent: Miss Charlotte Judd Susan Conroy LaCasse and John welcomed a son, David Jeremy, on August 8, 1972. They had a “ white Christmas" in Maine which was fine for skiing but called for a sunny vacation in March!

Suzanne Braddock Joseph writes that she has completed her pre-med studies at the U n H versity of Pennsylvania and w ill start working towards her M .D. at the Medical College of Pennsylvania this fall. Her husband, Neil, is an ophthalmologist with a subspecialty in corneal grating.

From Pompano Beach, Florida, comes word of Sally Alice Unkles. “ Presently, I am an Assistant Trust Office at the First National Bank in Fort Lauderdale. My work involves ad­ ministering trusts and settling estates. It is most interesting and very rewarding." Sally Alice expects to attend the Florida Trust School in Gainesville in the summer.

I have a hard-working Cuban secretary, Nydia Nordelo, and am pleased to report that the Cranetown Chapter of the DAR, of which my Mother is a member, helped Nydia and her husband become American citizens.

I have continued to enjoy my love of travel.

During the past year, my travels have taken me from Key West to Maine to Hawaii to St. Thomas to initiate the estate proceedings of a former East Orange, New Jersey resident and Princeton graduate. I spent a Colonial Christmas in Williamsburg and a Colorful New Years in Mexico.

As Chairman of the Conservation Committee of the Coral Ridge, Junior Woman's Club, I called the Stone House Inc. in Keene, New Hampshire and was delightfully surprised to find myself talking with Nancy Howe Clark.

Ginny Petrin Doolittle, Nicky Smith Hagerman and I are living in the same area of South Florida. We three are all big tennis fans. How­ ever, when I attended a reception for Chris Everet, she didn't seem concerned about com­ petition from any of the three of us. That's about m o% of our class on the Gold Coast. When are the rest of you going to “ Come On Down"?

Class Agent: Mrs. J. H. Boyd, Jr. (Margaret Mayes) Sue Faulkner Dedecker reports that, since she and husband Bill (with daughter Kim) traveled fast and furiously many times to Europe last year, they only plan one short trip to England in early June. At three, Kim, who has been to Europe six times, feels just as much at home there as she does here.

From a Christmas card Christine Keller says she has no exciting news, but adds that all is well with her and the insurance company she works for in Houston.

We are pleased to know that Marylee Walker is very excited about her May 5th wedding. She w ill become the wife of Mr. Winslow Lewis, Jr., who is promotion manager of the National Geographic Magazine. The couple plan a honeymoon in Europe.

What a letter from Winnie Sage Wilson!

Besides giving piano lessons, she participates in a Community Chorus which, hopefully, w ill give four concerts this year. An offshoot of this is her forming of a Madrigal group. Fast on-thespot sight reading is essential.

Two non-musical activities of Winnie's are Chairman of the League of Women Voters and President of TOPS (Taking Off Pounds Sensibly).

For the former position she is learning a great deal about the State of New Mexico. In the latter case she says no one would take that job, and so has had to "starve" herself in order to make the program work.

Two pieces of news have recently excited our family. Sally Poor Owen (attention: Betsy Ridge Madsen) '65 is to have her first baby in September. Sally and husband Harry have recently moved to Rock Springs, Wyoming, where Harry is manager of the brand new Holiday Inn there.

On May 11th I move into a house! A yellow Colonial at 96 North Mountain Avenue, Montclair. Would love to hear from you who haven't written. You are invited to write me at the above new address over the summer.

In closing I wish to bid goodby to my friend, Mr. Loveland. May he and his family be very happy in California.

I then started my own business w h ich has become tremendously rewarding and modestly successful.

Unfortunately, only a few people have answered. I guess I'll list them alphabetically, and doing so, we start with Gill Blauvelt.

Gill wrote me a letter from Middlebury Col­ lege where she is a Psychology major. She says she is very happy and seems to be quite busy. Her activities include a part in the chorus of Patience by Gilbert and Sullivan and work with the Middlebury Christian Fellowship.

Philippa Bowles says to give her best to all her fellow classmates and writes that she is still at Delaware Valley College of Science and Agri­ culture, majoring in Biology.

A surprise phone call from Amy Schecter told me that she is still at Kalamazoo College where she works at the radio' station. She was home on a career service quarter and was job hunting. She had news of our friend Paula van Valkenburg who is at Friend's World College working with Photography and Print­ ing.

The last person I heard from was Sandra von Salis, who is studying in Nice this year, and w ill return to the University of Vermont next year.
