Letter From The Headmaster N ovem ber 20,1973 Dear A lum nae: A t the o pening assem bly this m orning, I announced the decision of the Board of Trustees to jo in w ith the A cadem y Foundation in creating a new school to open in Septem ber, 1974. H aving been involved in co m b ining schools before, I fully understand and greatly respect the lingerin g sadness and regret that accom panies such a decision, particularly am ong alum nae w ho have m aintained such an affectionate loyalty for Kim berley over the years.

But in spite of our sense of sorrow , w e co uld not contain our enthusiasm . W hen I announced the Septem ber, 1974 date, a resounding cheer w ent up from the students. A ll the w ork and planning suddenly took on purpose and d i­ rection. And clearly the most joyful response cam e from the ju n io r class section, and w ell it m ight, for not only have these girls contributed hundreds of hours in com m ittee planning, but they w ill be the first to graduate from the new school. As an expression of our gratitude for their good w ork and their unbounded enthusiasm , I presented to each ju n io r a ye llo w rose and their class rings. Spontaneously, the seniors form ed a congratulatory receiving line for the junio rs as they left the auditorium . It was a heartwarm ing affai r.

W ith our new sense of purpose, I'm sure that you w ill be interested in som e of the proposals already m ade: W e w ill have an independent coeducational day school, grades K-3 at Brookside, 4-8 at Kim berley, and 9-12 at the A cadem y; each cam pus w ill have a dean or head responsible to an experienced educator in charge of. the entire school.

Som e educational advantages already discussed: A greater num ber of students at the same general level, on each cam pus perm its faculty to better use their teaching time and expertise. The prim ary school, for instance, set up at Brookside w ith about 200 students, w ill be an id y llic educa­ tional com m unity for our youngest boys and girls. Three or four teachers at each grade level perm it considerable fle x ib il­ ity and m ore opportunity to fit the program to the pupil's needs. Sim ilar advantages accrue at the higher levels. Per-

The Fullers with Otto, their Alsatian shepherd, and ChargejQtheir Boston bull terrier. haps m ost im portant in the M iddle School is the recognition that w ill be accorded to 7th and 8th graders. These yo u n g ­ sters w ill have leadership opportunities and responsibilities, both academ ic and extracurricular (their own newspaper and yearbook, for instance) not now possible because grades 7 and 8 are currently in the lowest ranks of the U pper Schools.

M ost significant at the U pper School level w ill be the diversity of courses available. Intense co llege preparation and the three R's we w ill pursue, of course, but hopefully in a more lively m anner: English 111 and IV, for exam ple, may w ell be replaced by a variety of offerings from w hich stu­ dents in the upper tw o years may choose. It w ould be pos­ sible for us to have a dozen or more English courses each trimester. Classes may not meet at the same tim e every day,® and som e courses w ith heavy reading loads may meet three or four days a w eek. Flexible scheduling, now im possible w ith coordinated bus schedules, w ill perm it the faculty to better tailor the curriculum to the needs of each stu d e n ts rather than fitting all students to the same program .

No doubt these brief com m ents raise more questions than they answer. So please w rite, call, or com e and visit. W e need and invite your advice and counsel. To this end, du ring "co n cep t w eek" in late January or early February, w e hope that parents, alum nae, and trustees w ill jo in students and faculty in a series of m eetingfe forum s, and discussions for all the school com m unities participating in this great new venture. These school com m unities have a vital interest in our new school, and I am lo oking forward to jo in in g you in helping to create it.

A ll the best, and let us hear from you!

Sincerely,

d Nathan A. Fuller

A MOST SUCCESSFUL ALUMNAE DAY Alumnae Day, September 28, 1973 dawned bright and cheerful as the first of many Kimberley graduates drove up the new drive toward the Penick Center. The warm reds and golds of the autumn trees reflected the glowing feeling of friendship as old friends gathered together for one day to renew longtime acquaintances.

After each alumna had entered and registered, they were taken on a tour of the school by gracious Kimberley stu­ dents. Following the guided tours, a reception and coffee were held in the lobby of the Center. Here, Headmaster Nathan Fuller and his wife, Joyce, met informally with the largest group of alumnae ever to visit Kimberley on Reunion Day! Among our more distinguished visitors were Dorothy Allen Streichenberg '16, representing the oldest alumna present; Alice Vezin Chattelier '23, from Maine, who won the distinction of traveling the farthest distance; and Virginia Munson Vultee '69 who was attending her fifth-year reunion as the youngest alumna present.

The Annual Meeting followed the coffee hour and was held in the spacious oak-paneled meeting hall/theatre. The program began with our Alumnae President, Aubin Zabriskie Ames '54, welcoming the reunion classes and reporting on the various activities of the alumnae. Among the most

successful of these was the "Non-Event" fund-raiser which drew a generous response of $1,185.00 pledged to the landscaping and beautification of the Penick Center. Aubin delightedly presented the check to a grateful Mr. Fuller! A nostalgic treat followed with a program of slides beginning with one of the first graduation class of 1909 comprising two students, Emma Dickson Carswell and Helen De Forest with Miss Waring, Kimberley's founder. More slides of each reuniting class and a movie of May Day, 1931 showing Court Jesters tumbling, giant ball rolling, and a variety of "St. Vitas-type" dances sent everyone present into waves of laughter and warm feelings for the "good old days."

During cocktails alumnae studied the attractive bulletin board displays set up for each reuniting class. It was here that they learned about their absent classmates and friends who had written and sent pictures for this special occasion.

After the luncheon Headmaster Fuller addressed the alum­ nae on the future of Kimberley and the need of our active support.

Good cheer and friendship which began the morning were carried throughout this most successful of all Alumnae Days!

EUDAEMONIA! RUTH LIEDER'S LIFE IN SUN VALLEY W e like to think that all Kim berley graduates have gone on to put together for them selves a life of total happiness. “ W hen pleasure and duty c o in cid e ," states Aristotle, "o ne has achieved eudaem onia" . . . w ell-b e in g, in the fullest sense.

O n e o f our m ost d a zzlin g alum nae has m anaged to outdo even Aristotle! W here leisure and duty co incide, one finds Ruth Lieder! (To be more precise, on the top of a snow -covered m ountain in Sun V alley, Idaho, w here she is D irecto r of M arketing.) "H e r prim ary responsibilities include advertising, sales prom otion, p u b licity and p u b lic relations," acco rdin g to a news release in the W o o d River Journal, H ailey, Idaho.

Ruth :|p s, "M y duties also inclu de my favorite activities: skiing, te n n ig . . . to sum it up, playing Pearl Mesta! This life in Idaho provides all the things I need: a happy balance of constant surroundings and changing groups of stim ulating people . . . an id y llic sm all-tow n existence."

Ruth d id n 't go straight from Kim berley w here she excelled in sports, was business m anager of the Kourier, and pres­ ident of the senior class '49, or from Sm ith C olle ge , to her fu lfillin g jo b w ith Elkhorn of Sun V alley, Inc. "A n exciting ju n io r year in Geneva started it a ll," she states.

G raduating from Sm ith With a B.A. in political science and a "stron g desire to put it to w o rk," Ruth w ent to w ork for Tim e Incorporated as an o ffice girl. W h ile sharpening pencils and deliverin g m ail, Ruth becam e aware of the "broad diversity of departm ents and s k i l l required to build a pu blish ing com pany . . . or any business." , Her association w ith Tim e Incorporated escalated over seventeen years. From secretary to the M erchandising M anager of Sports Illustrated, Ruth becam e Assistant M er­ chandising M anager, and then W est C o ast M erchandising M anager, and a reporter for the same publication.

D u rin g those seventeen years, how ever, she obtained several leaves from Tim e Incorporated. From Au gust of 1961 through Au gust of 1963 she lived in H o n g Ko ng where, as one of six C aucasians on a staff of seventy, she assisted in the lau nchin g of T h e Asia Magamne w hich is w idely d istrib u te d ifn the. Far East. "A n d , of course, says Ruth, "o n e year of m g lif e had to be devoted to a trip around the w o rld ."

4

t

H er belief that "no thin g's im po ssible!" led her to estab­ lish a com pany named precisely that. N othing's Im possible, Inc., w hich Ruth describes a s lfn o th in g m ore than a way to give a nam e and lim ited liab ility to free-lance w ork," led Ruth (as president, treasurer, m ajor sto ckh old er and sole em ployee) to serve a "variety of clients w hose requests ranged from fin d in g apartments to em p loyin g m aids; from m arket research for a clothes brush to contracting a m ariachi band for a party; from w alkin g dogs to chaperoning a fra­ ternity to Berm uda for C o lle g e W eek; and even to orga­ n izin g tables for N ew Y o rk C ity's 1966 Inaugural Ball."

W hen asked if being a w om an has been a problem or an asset, Ruth responds hastily that she has little patience for the W om en's Liberation M ovem ent, per se. "T h e one po int I do support is equal pay for equal w ork. In the m etropolitan area, this is a bit out of balance. How ever, fields such agi retailing, p u blicity, m arket research and p u b lic relations — fields in w hich warm th and sensitivity are vital — have always been open to w om en. M y first boss was a w om an." Ruth feels that she has had the unprejudiced good w ill of her fellow w orkers — m asculine or fem inine — in her quest for the most perfect career in the m ost perfect spot in the w orld.

"I have lived, to study or w ork, in Paris, Geneva, Rom e, H o n g Kong, and G reece." (Ruth speaks French, som e Ital­ ian, and enough C h in e se to bargain!) "A n d , though I som etim es feel that London is m y favorite city, I am currently co nvinced that Sun Valley, Idaho, is as close to O lym p u s as any mortal ought to g o ." Ruth's career offers proof that one Kim berley girl w ho sought it has found her place in the sun!

CURRENTLY AT KIMBERLEY

now serves as Vice-President, account supervisor.

Sally spends as many week-ends as p o S sible at the family farm in Boonton, but also devotes much time to volunteer work in New Yorfefthe latter includes reading to the blind and chairing the current junior League Ball. She also finds time to travel internationally with her husband, Norton, a marketing specialist.

Unification Progress New Trustees Recent appointments to the Board of Trustees included two Kimberley fathers and two Kimberley alumnae. Mr. James D. Timmons received his B.A. from New York University and is vice president, security sales department, of Goldman, Sachs and Company. His daughter, Amy, is a 6th grader at Kimberley.

Dr. Francis A. Wood received his B.S. at Yale University and his M.D. at Cornell University Medical College. He is a neuro­ surgeon with his own practice. His daugh­ ter, Penny, is in the 10th grade at Kimber­ ley.

The new Kimberley alumnae trustees are Mrs. Thomas F. Troxell '46 and Ms. Sally Minard Garfinkle '60.

Mrs. TroxelT' ("Heidi" Hyla Ames, daughter of Anna Lincoln Ames '20, and mother of Sarah '74 and Emily '78), is also active on the Parents' Board at Mont­ clair Academy, where her son Matthew is in 10th grade. (Son John, a freshman at Yale, was graduated from the Academy last June).

While at Kimberley, Heidi led her class both academically and athletically.

She went on to win a Wellesley Scholar Award and to a brief pre-marital career as a chemist at Cl BA. Then, after a decade devoted to homemaking, a trip to Greece aroused such interest in Heidi that she went on to obtain an M.A. in Greek at N.Y.U. Since that time, she has been as­ sociated with the American Numismatic Society and has continued her research on ancient Greek coins. She has had articles published in both chemistry and numis­ matics. Her long and loyal association with Kimberley will certainly prove valu­ able to the Board.

Ms. Sally Minard Garfinkle '60 served as President of the Student Council while at Kimberley and went on to fill that same office at Smith,, where she majored in History. At the end of her junior year she received an AISEC award which permitted her to work with the Chamber of Com­ merce in Turin, Italy. She won a Scott Paper Scholarship during her senior year and entered an executive training course at that company after graduation. Later she joined the advertising firm of Sullivan, Stauffer, Colwell and Bayles, where she

Plans for the unification of Kimberley, Montclair Academy, and the Brookside School are moving ahead on every front with special task forces assigned to Fa­ cilities Use, Curriculum and Extra-Curricu­ lar Activities. Serving on these commit­ tees are representatives from the adminis­ tration, faculty, student body, and trustees — all working together to build the foundation for a new school which is emerging. In addition, the academic departments and administration meet regularly to discuss plans for the future.

This is an extremely interesting, chal­ lenging and exciting time for these schools.

Alumnae Board Saddened

by Loss

KIMBERLEY ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION

President's Letter Dear Alumnae: It was marvelous to see so many of you at Alumnae Day this fall! This was the largest turnout ever and we hope all who came enjoyed seeing Kimberley as much as Kimberley enjoyed seeing them.

Special thanks and accolades to the re­ union chairmen for each class who made many contacts with classmates. Karolyn Greene Cole '23 and Helen Patrick Taylor '24 should be especially congratulated for the large number of 50th Reunion-ers who came. We all had a good time, and I hope over the years that this can become an increasingly successful day for alumnae.

We were delighted to introduce our new headmaster to alumnae, and he was able to bring those present up-to-date on ideas and plans for the unification of Kimberley, Montclair Academy, and Brookside.

Seeing so many of you that day who had not been inside the doors of Kim­ berley for ages, made me want to remind all of you that you are always welcome to stop by and visit. You will be struck, I am sure, by the warmth and friendliness that pervades the atmosphere at Kimber­ ley. Resolve now to stop by in '74.

A very Happy New Year to you all. . . .

Aubin Zabriskie Ames '54

It was with great sorrow that the Alumnae Board learned of the death of one of its members this fall. Miss Kath­ erine "Tookie" Blondel '32, one of Kim­ berley's most loyal and active alumnae, served for the past ten years on the Board as Chairman of the alumnae's booth at Karnival. Her interest in Kimberley and its students was manifest through this effort and through her many years as organizer and judge of the Dog Show. "Tookie" had served, also, as the Class of 1932's Secretary and Agent, and she was a mem­ ber of the Kimberley Board of Trustees from 1950 to 1957. The sister of Doris Blondel Krebs '29, "Tookie" had six nieces who attended the school.

We will all miss her openness, warmth, and boundless enthusiasm which enriched the lives of so many friends at Kimberley.

Board Members Elected At Annual Meeting One new officer and a member of the Nominating Committee were elected at the Annual Meeting of the Alumnae Asso­ ciation held on Alumnae Day. Elayne Robinson Saul '49 was elected Vice Pres­ ident, and Elizabeth Van Wie Penick '36 was elected to the Nominating Committee.

Elayne has participated in various alumnae affairs over the years and is the mother of Lynn who is in the 5th grade at Kim­ berley. She has already helped to plan Alumnae Day and ran the volley ball game in October, so she is well into her new job I Evie has had a long association with Kimberley, having served as a trustee, President of the Home School Association, as well as in many capacities on the Alumnae Board. Her last daughter was graduated from Kimberley in the Class of '73. Evie's wide acquaintance with Kim­ berley alumnae make her extremely well qualified to serve on the Nominating Committee.

History of Kimberley There have been several suggestions that some type of formal history of Kimberley be drawn together, using pictures, written material and other memorabilia of interest to succeeding generations. While this is only in the idea stage, we would welcome contributions of whatever you may have stashed in the attic as a start. There are many pictures at school, most of them with no identification, so we will also need volunteers for research and digging.

If anyone is interested in helping with this project, please contact Jody Callaghan in the Alumnae Office.

Two Chairmen Appointed Jane Carpenter '38 has accepted the position of Chairman of Class Secretaries.

Among Jane's responsibilities is to see that there is a secretary for every grad­ uating class. So volunteer, alumnae, if your class is in need of one! Twice yearly, prior to the publication of ALUMNAE NEWS, Jane notifies each Class Secretary to contact her classmates for news and pictures. If you would like to really "keep in touch," please write to Jane, 11 Nor­ man Road, Upper Montclair, N.J. 07043.

At this time we'd like to say thank-you to the former chairman, Joan Wallace Bryant '57, for the wonderful job she did for many years.

Carol Snow Evans '53 is our new Hos­ pitality Chairman. Carol, whose daughter, Perrin is a 9th-grader at Kimberley, has always been active in alumnae affairs. It is a pleasure to welcome her back to the Board. Carol has already been responsible for the Alumnae Coffee held after Open­ ing Chapel, and provided cider and doughnuts for the stalwart players at the Alumnae/Student volley ball game. Many thanks to Sue Davis Tull '50, former chairman, for all her past work. Sue is now a Washington, D.C. area hostess, and we wish her well in her new home.

Fall Planting Thanks to the great success of our "Non-Event" last spring, the Alumnae Association presented the school with a check for $1,185.00 on Alumnae Day. This money was raised specifically to be used for landscaping around the new Penick Center.

Planting was done late this fall with holly trees, azaleas, rhododendron, cherry trees and a few other small plants to pre­ sent a very attractive entrance to the new building from Brunswick Road. (This is now the most frequently used entrance, rather than Valley Road.) One small area beside the doors into the Center's Lobby will be planted with flowers for each season and maintained as an on-going project of the Alumnae Association. Again, we thank all who supported this venture.

You will be pleased and proud of the results!

Annual Giving The annual giving program for 1973-74 is underway. Mr. James T. Mills, President of the Board of Trustees, wrote to all alumnae, parents, and friends of the school on October 10, 1973 outlining his hopes for the year. He indicated that Kimberley with its limited endowment depended each year on annual giving dollars to off­ set the difference between tuition income and actual costs. With this and rising costs in mind, Mr. Mills proposed a goal of $50,000 for this year— to be reached by last year's donors increasing their gifts by 50%, and by adding to the donor list those who did not contribute last year.

To help realize this goal a Parents Committee has been formed to contact present parents of the school and to ask for their participation. At the same time, alumnae will be hearing by letter from their respective Class Agents, asking them to respond to the call.

Alumnae Class Agents have most gen­ erously given of their time in order to help the school. It is with their help that, in fact, many of the programs now at Kimberley were able to be started.

By way of the following list of Class Agents, we want to thank them for their great help to Kimberley and, at the same time, point out to alumnae who their Class Agent is. !f your class is not listed, we are in the process of looking for an Agent for you. We would be more than

happy to have volunteers contact the Alumnae Office at school.

We were sorry to hear that her sister Winifred died in June, and send our sympathy. We were also sorry to hear that a bad fall resulted in a knee opera­ tion for Frances last year. She still plays golf, however! Her son (Christopher's grandfather) has retired from the Army and is living in Hampton, Virginia. Her daughter lives in California, and her daughter will present Frances with an­ other great-grandchild in December.

There are six grand­ children living not far away— New York City and Garrison, N.Y. The whole family love Maine and visit the McGhies every year.

Mildred Presby Corwith and her hus­ band, Nathan, are enjoying his retire­ ment visiting four grandchildren and one great grandchild. They also keep busy moving between their two homes in Highland Park, Illinois, and in Florida.

I recently returned from Atlantic Treaty Association meetings in Brussels, visited NATO headquarters and SHAPE at Mons being briefed by Supreme Com ­ mander Goodpaster and others in com­ mand. Back home to take up the work on conservation which involves water pollution, air pollution, recycling and all facets of improving our world for man to live in. . . . It looks like a busy year.

Our 50th Reunion was a huge success and five from our class had a delightful time. We missed the rest of our class, and we are sure you would have en­ joyed being with us. Marion got up very early in the morning and left her daughter's home on the Cape at 6:30 where she had been visiting. Kay drove dow njlrorn Wilton, Connecticut, and joined Dot, Edith and me. Kay and Marion took a tour of Kimberley with Mr. Fuller, and then we spent a fun hour or so visiting and reminiscing.

We loved the meeting that Aubin Zabriskie Ames le d H n the beautiful new assembly hall where the pictures of our class were shown on the screen that brought back so many memories. We could identify everyone and were amused at our clothes and hair-does of fifty years ago. We topped off the morning with a delicious luncheon in the new spacious dining hall and said good-bye after a most enjoyable gettogether.

And your Secretary reports . . . 40th Reunion found seven faithfuls present.

We enjoyed it thoroughly in the beauti­ ful new auditorium and lovely sunny dining room. Mr. Fuller gave us a most interesting talk about progressing along with the times in education, full of good ideas. We missed all those who couldn't make it but they all had to be off elsewhere.

Two of our classmates have gone abroad with their husbands. Ginnie Snead Keyser and Terry Bull Sterling.

They both intend to visit Portugal and Spain (not simultaneously). The Sterlings will visit several other countries.

Pril Bennett Ritter has lots of news. . . . Son #1, Bennett, has been home for five years from Marine Corps duty in Cairo, Egypt at the U.S. Embassy. He was there during the 6-day war and helped "lock-up" the Embassy. After re­ turning to the U.S. he enrolled at Colum­ bia University only to be confronted by the student revolution. He is now work­ ing and contemplating marriage.

Pril's daughter, Lynn, has two girls, aged one and three. Her husband is a veterinarian so the latest animal in the house is a doe fawn.

Your secretary has finally gotten es­ tablished with the Lutheran Church in New York City as Records Manager after two years of temporary employment and unemployment for several months. The church is setting up a central records system, so this is the groundfloor opera­ tion, but it's fun. Also still managing a small home and black miniature poodle, Peppy by name. First Congregational Church and the Montclair Women's Club take up many leisure hours when they come around.

Let's hear more from more of you in the spring . . . it's kind of fun to reminisce.

Mrs. David R. Hall (Nancy Kluge) 21 Twin Oak Road Short Hills, N.J. 07078 I received a great letter from Jo Watt Clark who now lives in Pittsburgh but still summers in Michigan. The accom­ plishments of her children are most im­ pressive. "Ken's wife Gail is starting her fourth year of medical school while Josie is winding up her dissertation in Augusta. She will be doing research at the medical school of the University of Alabama this fall. Our aspiring writer with an English master's, Steve, is very busy with a publishing firm in Boston, and Chris is getting ready for her second year of teaching fourth grades in In­ dependence, Mo. By December David will have earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Colorado, then will be heading for law school. Mark's dream of attending Annapolis has come true, and he began Plebe in July."

Jo also reported that Jean Downes Fisher has been to Augusta for the Masters and had gotten together with Alice Greey Mann.

ifornia. She is a student, active in the women's movement, and works at sev­ eral handcrafts in whatever spare time is left.

We also received the happy news from Sally Dubois that she was married to Ed Moberg on April 18th. Sally's daughter, Sarah, is twenty years old, and a religion major at The College of Wooster, Wooster, Ohio. She studied in Vienna this summer and toured East and West Germany. Sally's son, 'Duby', is eighteen and a student at Westfield High School.

Joan Lockerty Brown '46 gave us some news of the Class of '45: Jeanne Talbot Sawutz spent a fantastic week in France in April. Her detailed report is a master­ piece we wish we had room to reprint.

Leigh Berrien Smith's daughter, Allison, transferred to Smith this year— and is very happy there! Betty Newell McCaf­ frey's daughter is now at Central College in Connecticut. Harry is head of the Newtown High School English Depart­ ment, and Betty is devoting much time to the Brookfield, Connecticut, Craft Center. Her son, Tom, is 15.

Mrs. W. L. Brown, Jr. (Joan Lockerty) 19 Harding Road West Caldwell, N.J. 07006 Present on Alumnae Day Constance Ritchie DuHamel As deadline nears, my dears, you leave me with one conclusion: Happy people are quiet people— if I'm wrong, write!

A bit of the glow of contentment: Connie Ritchie and Young DuHamel are settled in their new home at 25 (not 45) Erwin Park Road— and Stancie is at SMITH! Joan Denney Carlisle's son Scott is a freshman at Hartwick— and Joan is radiant in her blue and white uniform as a Red Cross nurse's aide at Moun­ tainside (her priceless contribution to the well-being of all in need during the strike last summer can be attested to by the writer). Joan also serves on the AFS Board at Montclair Academy where Mal­ colm is a 9th grader. Nancy Lockerty Hoffmann breezed through the environs in June en route to the Vineyard after a stop-over in London where Chipper started his tour of the Royal Crown Tennis circuit as Hong Kong's repre­ sentative . . . (at 17, he is quite serious about making Tennis his "life's-work").

My son Bill is loving every minute of "what he's into now:" A special pro­ gram combining the last year of high school and the freshman year of college given by the New School of Social Re-

search. In June he will return to receive his high school diploma with his class at Montclair Academy, and then he will transfer to some college as a Sopho­ more. (None of the 50 students selected for this program may stay at the New School.) More later. . . . I'm busy get­ ting a Master's in French at Montclair State and daughter Susan is busy cheer­ leading at Caldwell Junior High.

'48 Mrs. A. Stanley Miller, Jr. (Frances Lane) Camino Gardens 729 S.W. Bayberry Terrace Boca Raton, Florida 33432 25th Reunion Chairman: Joan Lucas Cassidy

Present on Alumnae Day Joan Lucas Cassidy This week I have spent a lot of my time watching the young ladies partici­ pate in the Virginia Slims Tennis Cham­ pionship in Boca Raton, Florida. Some­ how, I wish you could all be here, too.

To observe their performance is both overwhelming and most exciting. How­ ever, I would rather be overwhelmed and excited about a few 1948-er's— and

that means you and you and you and you— WHERE ARE YOU? The picture above (or below) is proof that yours truly is still around and still knocking on your door for news. Let's hear, ladies, before I turn my job over to one of you.

It's no challenge if you don't write back every once in a while. Yes, VIR­ GINIA, there is a class of '48 ! ! I Picture: Left to Right Ley (8 yrs.) a little disgruntled about having his picture taken, however, an astute third grader and good swimmer and athlete and a top-notch No. 1 son; yours truly, Fran Miller; Leisha (almost 14 yrs.), a good student at St. Andrews Episcopal School for Boys and Girls and great swimmer— loves music, animals, tennis, everybody and everything; Mark (41/2 yrs.) a perfect love and is definitely going to be seen and heard; Sky (51/i yrs.), is my wise and handsome young man— can handle any situation. Both young boys are students at Montessori and adore it. And you should see them swim.

Stan and I are both very busy with our Beau Rivage Apartments in Deerfield Beach. Looking forward to an already busy winter season. It's a fun business to manage. He is also very active with his real estate business and an agent for Connecticut General Life Insurance.

I am very busy with family and apart­ ments, Republican Club, St. Andrew's Mothers' Association, Florence Fuller Child Development Center, tennis and bowling and delivering children to and from swim and tennis matches (not to forget Kimberley news!). It's a great life in Boca Raton, Florida. Let's hear from you soon.

The Alumnae Office has heard that Marylou Bianchi Schaffer and her hus­ band are on a two-year assignment in Tokyo, Japan, where Jack is a vice pres­ ident with Manufacturers Hanover Trust.

'50 Mrs. W. G. Tull, Jr. (Sue Davis) 7907 Greentree Road Bethesda, Maryland 20034

Present on Alumnae Day Audrey Lee Carroll McBratney Margaret Jones Steuart wrote to school that "the great news here in Chevy Chase is that Sue Davis Tull and her lovely family has moved to Bethesda, about two miles from me." Margaret's daughter, Elizabeth, has just left for her freshman year at Mt. Holyoke. She was graduated from National Cathedral School in June where she won the award for her outstanding contribution to choral music during her high school years. Two sons, Guy, III and Bradley (14 and 10) are at St. Albans, The Cathedral School; and the 7-year-old twins, Carter and Hugh, attend the Norwood School. Mar­ garet is active in the Citizens Association, the Garden Club of the Jr. League, her children's schools, and is taking a course at George Washington University's Col­ lege of General Studies. Husband, Guy, has just built a large new Ford agency and is on the boards of two schools, a hospital and a bank. She says, "We're rather busy, but wouldn't have it any other way!''

We heard from Audrey Carroll Mc­ Bratney that she is assisting June Clarke Lewis '34 in her travel business (Round Travel Service) in Upper Montclair. It's a part-time job, and Audrey says it's lots of fun and very interesting.

Neila Weising, known in Newark Junior League circles for 'keeping the pursestrings tight', has balanced the budget as Treasurer of the League for six years! In addition to her active mem­ bership in the League since 1955, Neila has earned an M.A. in Science from Montclair State and is certified to be a principal and supervisor. The students and faculty at Montville High School welcome her as their science teacher and administrator.

'52 Mrs. Edward C. Fawcett (Fay Taft) 9 Gordon Place Montclair, N.J. 07042 Present on Alumnae Day Carol Humphrey White I am very sad to report the sudden death last August of Jean. Fairgriev.e Swenson's husband, Bob. Jean will re­ main in Bethesda, 9508 Seddon Court, with her three children.

By the time you read this, the Faw­ cetts should have one of the beautiful Norwich Terrier puppies Jean's dog pro­ duced last June.

Jane Redfield Forsberg, Bob and their three children arrived in Montclair for Easter vacation last Spring and we loved seeing them all. Our 6 year old adored Jane's 8 year old and had fun running back and forth between the two houses since they're so close. Let's do that again, Janel Ned and I had another lovely week in Bermuda last October at Pink Beach Club, but this trip was better than ever because we had Joan Wallace Bryant '57 and husband Hager with us.

As you can see, I'm hard pressed for news. Hope I get lots of Christmas letters from you all so the Spring Bulletin will be more interesting!

'53 Mrs. Thomas Burgin (Lolly Penick) 328 Fairway Road Ridgewood, N.J. 07450 20th Reunion Chairman: Carol Snow Evans Present on Alumnae Day Carol Snow Evans Stephanie Miller Gray Suzette Armitage Whiting The Alumnae Office heard this fall from Judy Smith Gallagher who has been living in Loch Arbour with her husband, Dennis, and her two children (Sean, 13 and Megan, 12) for the past five years.

They recently purchased an MC-Austin car agency in Ocean Grove, so Judy now finds herself a working person.

Felicity Ferguson Morse Janet Cook Phillips Cynthia Mann Treene The Class of '54 celebrated its 20th by bringing together 25% of its gradu­ ating class to hear our classmate, Aubin Zabriskie Ames, President of the Alum­ nae Association, conduct reunion cere­ monies. Our ten members constituted the largest group at reunion.

Pat Taylor Dill came all the way from Simsbury, Conn, for the occasion. She hadn't been to Montclair for several years, as Bill's radio-phonograph store precludes their coming for the usual family holidays. She planned to stay with her mother, who celebrated her 50th re­ union at the same time. Marian Miller Castell drove down from Darien, where she and George live with their two boys.

The only other out-of-towner was TillyJo Beatty Emerson, who lives in Maple­ wood. With all three children in school now, she is kept busy as vice-president of the Junior League.

The rest of us who still live in Mont­ clair enjoyed the opportunity to catch up with each other, too— Aubin Zabris­ kie Ames, active in the Junior League and Sunday School teaching as well as Kimberley Alumnae; June Hayward Fos­ ter, the Kimberley Alumnae SecretaryTreasurer; our actress, Mimi Evans Har­ mon, who stars in local theatre group perfomance; Janet Cook Phillips; Lynn Towner Dodd and C. Y. Mann Treene who are also involved with children and community activities.

Had our reunion been last spring we might have had some of our far-flung members in attendance. Patty Dennison Moser was in town with Paul and their two daughters from Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Lee Wood Audbuy visited from France.

It was great to have a long letter from Georgia Carrington to share on Reunion Day, and we'll pass it along to the rest of you who weren't here. She is Direc­ tor of the Upper School of Springside School, in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia.

"Springside is a school very much like Kimberley— even to the point of our coordination with a boys' school. . . .

As Director of the Upper School; I do a little bit of a lot of things. . . . It's great to be connected with a school still; constantly exposed to the changes and the excitement and vitality of the students." "Playing tennis is high on my list of favored activities, as always, and it's a real thrill to play on the grass of the Philadelphia Cricket Club! Last summer I bought a house with a class­ mate from graduate school (I got my Masters in English from Middlebury several years ago) and that has been de­ lightful! Was thrilled to have a good

visit with Lee Wood Audbuy last spring— not long enough, but she really looks marvelous. I know some of you have seen her, too, and am sure everyone knows she has a little girl just two months old. Although Tookie lives in Bryn Mawr, it might as well be the other end of the world. . . . If any of you come to Philadelphia® or are here, please look me up. I love hearing about what you are doing and seeing pictures of your children and wondering with someone else what happened to the last twenty years and what I was going to do with it! Heaven knows, I knew I would never teach!! I" Vicki Wendt West sent word that she couldn't be at the reunion because she had been in an automobile accident.

We hope she is all recovered by now.

Her boys are all budding golfers, even Benjamin, aged 5! John Paul, 11, won the 9-hole junior golf championship at their club, and Christian, 9, won the 3-hole putting prize. Her husband, Peter, keeps active in business and the community as well as being a Governor at the Scarsdale Golf Club. Vicki continues to be busy with the children, is on the P.T.A. Board, the Board of St. James the Less in Scarsdale, and is President of the Westchester Hollins Alumnae Asso­ ciation. She is also on the Board of the Council of College Alumnae Clubs of Westchester, a den mother, and active in the golf club.

lohn Paul, Christian, and Benjamin West Gael Seton Habernickel wrote, "Re­ union Day will find me and my family southbound to Bay Head. There I plan to give husband Duke a grand-scale fortieth birthday party. Cause for cele­ bration will be two-fold— accomplishing, also, a house-warming of sorts for our new (old) summer home. Fortunately, we should have few party worries as we'll be assisted by a staff of our four daughters— Gwenn, 13, Lisa, 12, Dana, 9, and Nell, 4! Would that I had a split personality as I'd certainly like also to be at our 20th (unbelievable!) reunion."

The Whittimores live in Morristown.

Husband, John, teaches at the Pingry School where son, Tom, is in sixth grade.

Daughter, Jennifer, is a third-grader at the Peck School.

Love the open spaces and being sur­ rounded by farms. Barbara, 10, attends Cedar Hill School in Basking Ridge.

Darrell, 3, is in nursery school, and Eric, 18 months, keeps me hopping. Barbara is taking riding lesson from Shirley Spen­ cer who many TKS alumnae will remem­ ber from Montclair Riding Academy.

After these years she hasn't changed a bit."

And from your Secretary . . .

I have only received one letter this fall. You can't all be living such dull lives that you have nothing to share with the rest of the class!

Di Whittaker wrote to me with news of several of our classmates, including the fact that she LOVES Maine.

Susie Forstmann Kealy and family are going to be living in France for two years.

Cecily Wilson Lyle was back in the States this summer on business. She is going to set up an exchange vacation for her children with Di's cousin in England who has six children the same ages as Cecily's five.

We have learned too of the tragic death of Peter Orr, Carol Cloke Orris husband, last winter. I'm sure you all will remember Carol and her family in your prayers. Carol's address is 4450 Shade Road, La Mesa, California 92040.

The III family had a "not-so-restful" vacation in Rhode Island this summer, but that's the way we like it. All that tennis, boating, swimming, etc. can get you really exhausted. We were pleased to see Jay and June Dallery Doolittle, '58 and even took lessons from Jay who is the tennis pro at the Golf Club. I am in the process of getting back into the business world — gradually. I've been doing part time temporary work this fall and am looking forward to when I can really get into a career. .At this point in time (sound familiar?)

I would be delighted to turn the class

secretary distinction over to someone else. If you would care to be in touch with everyone a couple of times a year, please either write to me or to the Alumnae Office at Kimberley.

'56 Mrs. Lawther O. Smith (Linda Lovell) 202 Morris Avenue Mountain Lakes, N.J. 07046 One of the benefits of being class secretary is that you have a chance to keep in touch personally with many of the class members.

A recent phone call with Nancy Cor­ nell Esposito was a gold mine of in­ formation about various class members.

Judy Lindeman had recently visited them, and they took in a Giants game. Judy had recently been on a trip to Ohio as a guest of her company. Nancy herself keeps busy as President of the Sweet Briar College Club of Northern N.J., and she does the book keeping for Gus who has had his own business in Graphic Arts for the past three years. In addition, Deborah (2) keeps her company at home, while David (4V2) and Jamie (8) are enjoying school.

On her trip north this summer to vacation at Lake George with her mother, Jane Crawford Davis saw many of her friends including Nancy. Jane and George have realized their dream to have a gift shop. They're out of the hotel business (Terrible hours) and have bought a gift shop in Florida.

Also passing through Montclair this summer were Jerre and Jane Goodwillie Swann on their way to Europe. They joined the Goodwillies on a trip to see Jane's brother who has been living in Paris. The Swanns have a new address: 3041 Farmington Lane, N.W., Atlanta, Georgia 30339.

Also at a new address are Bob and Nancy Prescott Ward: 393 Ski Trail, Kinnelon, N.J. 07405. As Nancy says they're in the same town, but as the name indi­ cates, they now have a view. Living with them in addition to Vickie (5) and Jen­ nifer (7 mo.) is Nancy's father who joined them this spring.

A quick call to Betsy Beatty Sanford revealed that she and Dick are joining Peter and Gail Zabriskie Wilson to visit Bob and Betsy Hasbrouck Cole to enjoy a Chinese dinner cooked in Betsy's house by a pro. They won the Chinese dinner cooked for eight at an auction.

Now that's the way to entertain!

In September I received a long letter (thanks, Anne) from Anne King Frances who says she's "finally doing something — after all these years." Wow, is she!

This fall she's started as a full-time first

year law student at Rutgers Law School in Newark. Her children Christopher and Alexandra are in 6th and 7th grades, and so she "decided that this was the year to plunge in." As if that weren't enough, Arne is serving on two Title VII Citizens Advisory Boards to over­ see federal monies for two educational projects in Montclair proposed by the Board of Education and by the Urban Coalition. She's also the retired Treas­ urer and new President of the Radcliffe Club of N.J. For a change of pace she's been spending summers in Maine and New Hampshire with her parents and Tom's aunt. Tom also is launching on new projects. He quit Wall Street in May to open the Montclair Bikery— specializing in touring and racing bikes — with Anne's brother. It's located on Bloomfield Ave. where the Montclair Bakery was.

It looks as though we're on the move again after having been in Mountain Lakes for six years— a record for us.

Larry has started his own manufacturing company in Penna., and we've been house hunting in the Central Bucks County-Doylestown area.

And what about you? Does your husband have a new job? Have you dis­ covered some great vacation spot? Do you have a new baby, or are you out doing your thing now that the kids are in school? Whatever your situation, do share your experiences with the rest of us. Maybe you'll give someone else some good ideas!

'57 Mrs. Richard Van Heuven (Connie Hay) "Westmeadows," Mason Lane Slingerlands, N.Y. 12159 Rumor has it Drika Agnew is living in Dorset, Vermont. (Ed. note: Our rumor says New York City!) Let's hear from you.

A long letter from Marty Beery Moore said she had moved to McLean, Virginia.

Her husband, Wesley is a broker with Bronwen Corp. Six-year old Amy, Ser­ vice League, and other volunteer work keep Marty busy.

Jean Bonnell Goodrich continues with her riding and is hopping all over the country showing her Newfoundland, Mollie. After one show, she popped in to see Lynne Kenny Scott.

Georgia Sherman Click, Tom, and their two children recently moved to Massachusetts. Tom and Georgia are restoring an old house and playing a lot of tennis.

Nantucket seems to have appeal for our class. Lynne Kenny Scott, Joan Wal­ lace Bryant, and myself vacationed there

this summer. Joan and Hager are enjoy­ ing their adorable adopted daughter, Wendy. They also just returned from a week in Bermuda with the Fawcetts (Fay Taft '52). This summer Lynne took a course at Wellesley and visited her mother in Montclair.

Please write me!

'59 Mrs. Robert P. Sumas (Deana Rogers) 44 Maple Drive North Caldwell, N.J. 07006 The Alumnae Office was happy to hear from Susan Wechsler Rose who is living in New York City, married with three lovely daughters aged 3, 5, and 7. After graduating from Smith, Susan earned an M.A.T. in history at Columbia. Her husband is in building and construction, and is a PhD. candi­ date in political science.

We also heard that Lily Solmssen has an exciting new job with the League of Red Cross as photo editor. Lily has a delightful country apartment in Founex, Vaud, Switzerland— a converted barn on a farm, "Les Chapelles."

'60 Miss Carroll Tiernan P.O. Box #192 Foxboro, Massachusetts 02035 Finally, I get a chance to do some catching up, having given myself a "sab­ batical" from working and the travel it entails.- I spent the summer working in the house and garden (canning, pickling and freezing) and with my horses (had two fillies born here this spring, plus a couple of horses racing).

Lee Warren Jurewicz writes that she and Jack welcomed their second child, Scott Alan last Ocober (told you I was behind). Their first, Jimmy, is five now and in school.

Mary Anne Coursen Doty writes some very interesting news. Her father, our Mr. C. was ordained in June and is now "Rev. Mr. C." and he's still teaching at T.K.S., too. How about that! Congratula­ tions! Mac and family are in Norfolk, Va., now. John is a Lt. Commander, serving on a helicopter carrier, and her boys are both in school full time.

14

I hear from Sally Alice Uncles quite often and have seen her parents in my travels. Sally has been able to do all kinds of traveling recently through her job, including trips to St. Thomas and Hawaii. Wow! Congratulation to Sally Alice on being awarded the honor of Most Valuable New Member O f The Year of the Coral Ridge Junior Woman's Club!

Ginny Petrin Doolittle lives very near Sally, and they have enjoyed visiting.

Ginny has two children — a girl of 5 and a boy 15 months.

Charlotte Judd writes that she has both a new job and home. As the Cigarette Advertising Code office closed, she is now working at McGraw-Hill. Also her family has moved to West Caldwell, her father having retired after 33 years as rector of St. Jame's in Upper Mont­ clair.

That's about the news I have now.

I hope, now that I have more time, to be able to get in touch with more of you. My thanks to those of you that have written. Let's hear from the rest of you!

'61 Miss Judith Poor 96 North Mountain Avenue Montclair, N.J. 07042 Trish Shupik Littman sent news for her class bulletin board on Alumnae Day. "We moved to Boston six months ago from the Philadelphia area. Philip is finishing his residence in radiation therapy at Massachusetts General Hospital. Have no idea where July, 1974 will find us. We love living in a brownstone in downtown Boston. Rachel, aged V h years, has made a wonderful adjustment to city life. I haven't worked since January (when I was training supervisor at Burlington County (N.J.) Welfare Board) because our second child is due the day after Alumnae Day! I am very involved in Rachel's nursery school, Mass. Gen. distaff functions, A.A.U.W. in Boston, and National As­ sociation of Social Workers. I can't wait for the baby, and for a job in about six months."

Barbara Mahler Markussen couldn't make reunion from Oklahoma, but sent news to share through Lynn. Barbara was graduated from Wells in 1968 and married that summer. Carl is in the Air Force, and they were first stationed in Ohio. Daughter Kristin was born while Carl was in Greenland, and then they all went to Germany. While there, they were able to travel to Holland, Luxemburg, Switzerland, Austria and Italy. They returned to the U.S. last March so that Carl could go through pilot training. Jeffrey was born in May, and Barbara finds the two children, plus a dog and a guinea pig, keep her busy!

She'd love to hear from classmates: 2213 East Walnut, Enid, Oklahoma 73701

Kristin and jeffrey Markussen Anne Beard Smith also sent news to share. She couldn't make the reunion because she hoped to be in the hospital with " # 1 child." The Smiths have been living in Riverside, Connecticut, for three years and love it. They are five minutes from the beach "which was terrific when we were boaters but left that hobby for the golf course in the sum­ mer and paddle tennis in the winter."

C lif gave up his commute to New York and is with a bank up there so Anne says, "We are real Nutmeggers!" They also love Vermont and spend many weekends in the mountains where they have about 40 acres they hope to build on soon.

Sally Webb Armstrong had a letter for the Class Bulletin Board, too. "I'm living in Phoenix, Arizona with my husband, Mike, and our 2-year old daughter, Leigh Todd. We're expecting another baby in October! Mike's with First Federal Savings and Loan. We try to get back East every summer; but since Mom and Dad are now living in Massachusetts, we spend all of our time up there. Don't know when I'll get to Montclair again. Things couldn't be better with us. . .

Randi White McGinnis wrote from California where her husband Dick is working towards his PhD. at Berkeley.

Prior to this he was teaching at Bucknell, and he and Randi had purchased a fraternity house which they spent the spring of 1971 to the summer of 1972 remodeling. Fortunately, they were among the few in Lewisburg that escaped the flooding caused by Hurri­ cane Agnes. Randi says they are enjoy­ ing California living and get into San Francisco often, but they look forward to returning to their house and a small town in January 1975.

Sherry Newcomb Achenbach wrote from New Canaan, Connecticut, ''We are in the middle of moving after finding our 'dream house' which is an old colonial built in 1750. There are fireplaces in every room, old wide floor boards, etc., . . . . In two years we shall return to Europe to live for some ¡years but will rent our prize and, hope­ fully, settle down here later. Annis my five-year old is spending the fall in Zurich with Kurt's mother. Peter, our two-year old, is a holy terror!"

And, from Cindy Smith Gaw came news of her family. Cindy had a career in hospital laboratory technology and married Kevin in 1969. They lived in Cedar Grove for a year and then moved to Virginia. After three years there they have acquired two dogs, two cats, a small farm, "Autumn Hill" in Afton and last, but most certainly not least, a son, Todd Ryan. Cindy extends an open in­ vitation to anyone traveling down the Skyline Drive to stop in for a visit.

Your secretary writes, "I wish I could have been present at our reunion. I'm still residing in Oak Harbor, Washington but with an additional member in the

Carolyn Wilson Ward and Beth and Jamie

family, Jamie, born in September. I went to Manila in June to see my husband who is on cruise in the Western Pacific with the Navy. He is due home in November and will finally be able to see his new son and greatly changed two-year old daughter."

Lynn Ritter Vernon wrote Carolyn that "Baby Skye is a terror and has to be watched like a hawk. She would eat any inedible object." Also Dan and she are busy getting ready to slaughter 25 turkeys to freeze as well as putting an addition on their animal hospital. They have just returned from a vacation in the Bahamas.
