SPOTLIGHT ON THE TRUSTEES

lames S. Vandermade 35, President, Board of Trustees

Back-to-School Nights have been traditional for m any years, giving parents and fa c u lty an opportunity to m eet w ith one another to discuss the acad em ic program for the current year. This year som ething new was added to the calend ar — a New Parents' N ight, designed e sp ecially to acq uain t that group w ith the school and w ith each other prior to th eir at tending the all-parent program s. O ne of those on hand to greet our new parents was Jam es S. V and erm ade, President o f the Board of Trustees. He opened his rem arks by saying, " It is a d istin ct pleasure for me to particip ate in this special program , and to w elco m e you to The M o n tclair K im b erley A cadem y on b ehalf o f the Board of Trustees. Som e o f you are enjo ying your first experience w ith an independent scho o l, and others have either attended one yourselves or enrolled your children in another, perhaps in differen t co m m u nities. Regardless of your exp erience, it is quite probable th at fe w of you have given any thought to the fu nctio n o f the Board of Trustees, and I w ould like to take a few m inutes to enlighten you on this som etim es arcane su b je c t." W e asked M r. Vanderm ade if we m ight share this enlightenm ent w ith pur entire c o n stitu e n cy. . . and so offer herewith excerpts from his talks w ith new parents. Stated sim p ly, the Trustees are responsible for the very existence o f the scho o l, and its co ntinuing operation. This is best illustrated by a look at the history o f the institutions that w ere merged to form The M o n tclair K im b erley A cad em y. C o in cid e n ta lly , th eir histories are sim ilar in that in each case groups of interested c itize n s, largely parents and alu m n i, got together shortly after W o rld W ar II and form ed private foundations to buy th eir respective schools from th eir aging proprietors. These founding Trustees determ ined th eir goals, developed by-law s, elected o fficers, and appointed ad m inistrators. They indeed w ere responsible for the continuing existence o f the schools.

The founders purchased the schools to provide the co m m unity w ith co ntinuing q u ality independent education . To ach ieve th is, th ey raised the m oney to buy the properties and to fund the operations, and they em ployed headm asters or headm istresses to whom they delegated the operational au th ority. From day one, they w ere responsible for the fin a n cia l health of the institu tio ns, and for the broad po licies of acad em ic e xce lle n ce and service to the co m m u nity under w hich the schools w ere to operate. O u r new school exists today in b eautiful modern buildings because of the deter m ination o f past Boards to provide exce lle n ce in education in an environm ent co n d u cive to e xce lle n ce . T h eir foresight and co m m itm ent provided these fa c ilitie s , all b u ilt or rem odeled since the fiftie s at a cost o f over eight m illio n do llars. It is no differen t today. The present Board, as th eir first order of business, selected a new p rincipal to whom w ould be delegated authority for the operation o f the com bined schools, the im portant m atter o f jo in t educational goals having been thoroughly considered during the negotiations leading up to merger. The critic a l question of raising the half m illio n dollars required to pay the capital costs o f plant im provem ents made necessary by the merger w ould be solved by the generous response o f a few good friends to whom the needs w ere qu ietly made know n. W h ile the day-to-day operations o f M K A are the province of the Prin cipal and the cam pus heads, the Trustees m aintain active co n tact w ith the co nd u ct of the school through co m m ittees. The A cad em ic P o licy Com m ittee is, of course, of prim e im portance, as is the new Student A ffa irs Com m ittee, charged w ith m aintaining a more e ffe ctiv e link w ith the student body. The A lum ni Com m ittee nurtures a tie w ith graduates, and the D evelopm ent Com m ittee is involved w ith the planning and carrying out of all fund raising programs. The Buildings and Grounds Com m ittee keeps abreast of plant needs and m aintenance problem s, and the Long Range

Some members o f the Finance Committee at work: Mrs. William E. Frederick, Richard W. Day, Ulrich V. Solmssen [hidden], Flarold B. Abramson, Willibald H. Conzen, Alan Aufzien, and lames S. Vandermade. Planning Com m ittee is charged w ith an ticip atin g trends and future requirem ents. T h e N om inating C om m ittee provides for replacem ent of Board m em bers from the broad co n stitu e n cy, and proposes a slate o f o fficers. The Fin a n ce Com m ittee shepherds all th e school funds and w orks w ith the ad m inistration to develop the budget and set tu itio n s. The predecessor boards w ere alw ays dedicated to keeping tuitio n at the lowest possible figure co nsistent w ith e xce lle n ce in e d ucatio n , to m ake the schools availab le to the broadest possible student body. The present Board is also firm ly dedicated to th is end. The Board is m ade up o f seventeen voting trustees and seventeen asso ciate trustees. The voting trustees inclu de seven representatives o f each predecessor board, the Prin cip a l, and the Presidents o f the Parents A sso ciatio n and the A lu m n i A sso ciatio n . The b alance of the Board w as o rig in ally

com posed o f the other m embers of the predecessor boards, plus the cam pus heads. There are four replacem ent m em bers this year, proposed by the N om inating Com m ittee and elected by the Board. O f particu lar interest is the fa ct that of the th irty four m em bers, all but fiv e are parents, past parents or alu m n i. Voting Board m em bers are elected for three year term s, associates for tw o, each in rotating classes, and m ay serve for no m ore than tw o co nsecutive term s. The President and Treasurer are elected for tw o year term s, the other o f ficers for one. No o ffice r m ay serve for more than two co n se cu tive term s. A ll o f us on the Board are deeply concerned w ith all aspects of school life . It is our fondest hope that our students' ex periences at The M o n tclair K im b erley A cad em y w ill be rich and fu lfillin g . W e and the ad m inistration are dedicated to that goal.

MKA AUTHORS The rem arkable num ber and diversity of K im berley and M o n tclair A cad em y graduates' publications produced an engrossing and im pressive e xh ib it o f their w orks at the Upper School library this fa ll. N early a hundred works represented some sixty graduates, ranging from the Class o f '10 to that of 7 5 . The prim e purpose o f the show was to dem onstrate to the student body the im portance of w riting in nearly every field of endeavor, as M K A has set as one o f its highest priorities the teaching o f e ffe ctiv e w riting. (And in order to m axim ize student id e n tificatio n w ith the authors, they w ere billed as "form er students" rather than " a lu m n i," on the suspicion that in m any students' m inds the tw o are e n tirely different groups.) Tw o o f the highlights of the show w ere the script o f The W iz, "B e st M usical of 1975," by W illia m Brown '46; and the sections on M arguerite Gerard by Sarah W ells-Robertson '63 in the M etropolitan M useum of Art's catalogue of its 1975 show , Fren ch Painting 1774-1830: The A g e o f R e v o lu tio n . Tw o form er U .S . am bassadors w ere included: Sp ruille Braden '10, w ith D ip lom a ts a n d D em agogues, and Lew is Douglas '12, w ith The Lib era l Tra ditio n : A Free P eo ple and a Free E co n o m y. Recent issues o f tw o national m agazines, w hich m ay still be availab le to readers o f this a rticle , carried works o f other graduates. Ann La B a stille '51 w rote on "M y B ackyard , the A d iro n d a cks," in the M ay, 1975, N ational G e o g ra p h ic; and Kenneth Crow ell '51 is the author of "D ow n East M ic e ," in the O cto b er, 1975, Natural H isto ry. In the previous year, M ike W o lff 7 1 , w h ile still a student at C o lum b ia, published an exam ination o f how the late Angela Atwood of the Symbionese Liberation A rm y had com e to espouse radicalism : "C heerleader for a R e v o lu tio n ," in the N ew York Tim es M a g a zin e. And Janet M ason '48, now a L ife editor, w rote the original L ife articles p u b licizin g the courageous response of skier Jill Kinm o nt to a p aralyzing accid e n t, the story behind the curren t rather over-sentim entalized m o vie, "T h e O ther Side of the M o u n ta in ." G o vern m en t and pu b lic affairs w ere represented by Jameson Cam paign '32's A m erica n M ig h t a n d S o v ie t M yth ; Paul N ejelski '55's "M o nitoring the Juven ile Ju stice System ;" and D avid Stanley '33's M anaging L o ca l G o vern m en t under U nion Pressure, a publication o f the Brookings Institution. Journalists included A nne Johnson 7 4 and Jean H am lin Noyes '37 ( The M o n tc la ir Tim es), A lison Sm ith 7 0 ( V ineyard G a ze tte ), Janet H eller '47 (B altim o re S u n ), and Jeff Kindler 7 3 (Tu fts O b serve r). Philosophers am ong our ranks are Richard M acksey '48, w ith V e lo citie s o f Change and Leah Jacobs Stern '53, w ith "Em p irical Concepts as Rules in the C ritiq ue o f Pure R easo n ." Am ong the scientists are Randolph Thum m el '63, author of "Stereo -selectivity o f the Base-Induced C onversion of Epoxides in A lly lic A lc o h o ls ," and A ndy Abram son 7 1 , author o f "In te ra ctio n between Local B ucklin g and TorsionalFlexural B u c k lin g ."

Easier reading w as furnished by M K A poets Noreen Norton 7 4 , V irg in ia H am ilton A dair '29, and Bruce G uernsey '62. P atricia Law rence Cone '30 (w ho writes under the nam e of Clapp) has w ritten Dr. Eliza beth (B la c k w e ll), a biography of the first w om an doctor in this co un try; and Charles Holm es '41 is the author of A ld o u s H u xley a n d the W ay to R ea lity. H istorians inclu de local chro niclers Leo Thron '25 and Jeanne Price G o odlatte '29, as w ell as Richard O verton '25 (B urlington W e st: A C olo n izatio n H isto ry o f the Burlington Railroad) and H arry H azard '34 (e d ., A H isto ry o f the Crusades, vo ls. Ill and IV ). In the field of fictio n w e can boast Jean De W itt Fitz '29, w ith The D evon M a ze , and Lilian Robertson '40, w ith P icn ic W o o d s, a children's book w hich she both w rote and illustrated. Space forbids m entioning every w ork in the show , but other fields represented w ere tax law , tra v e l, fund raising, podiatry, International Scouting, W om en's Lib , m usic, neurology, an cien t G reek num ism atics, com puters, san itatio n, psychology, e d ucatio n , gar dening. . . the list is alm ost endless. The w orks m entioned here are but a sam ple of those w ritten by the authors nam ed. The authors named are but a sam ple of those in the e xh ib it. And those in the exh ib it w ere but a sam ple of those among all K im berley and M o n tclair A cadem y graduates, as the show included o n ly those whose works had com e to the school's attention and could be ob tained. The show received a gratifying am ount of attention from the students, at least one or tw o o f whom seem ed alw ays to be browsing through it during the month it w as availab le . I am hopeful that it had som e success in dem onstrating that e ffe ctive w riting is essential to success in a w ide v arie ty of fie ld s. Another happy result w as the som etim es alm ost palpable sense o f pride in the school w hich was produced by the diversity o f alum ni achievem ents show n. As one v isib ly im pressed student said on opening day, "You m ean, th ey all w ent here?" I fe lt the sam e w ay. H eidi Am es Tro xell '46

'1 4 TKS Alexandra Costikyan Jewett wrote that she was sorry she couldn't be at the reunion luncheon. Her news is: "I go to Florida to the Hillsboro Club every winter for six weeks. Then I take a trip, usually in April — last year to England for three weeks, and this year to Mexico. Visited in Cuernavaca for a week — an old Hotchkiss friend of my husband's. Then took my granddaughter, Haley Prentice, to Yucatan to see the Mayan ruins. She is a sophomore at Williams College and studied Mayan history, so we had a very interesting time. Am enclosing a picture of Haley and me in front of the Temple of the Warriors at Chichen Itza. We climbed several pyramids which I never would have done if I hadn't been with an eighteen-year old. "Have eleven grandchildren and one great grandchild, named for me. Five are married and a sixth will be this Christmas. "Spend summers here in Eden (N .Y.) and have an apartment for winters in Buffalo at the Park Lane. My son, Dr. Theodore Jewett, Jr., has been asked to go to Saudi Arabia for a year to start the Department of Pediatric Surgery at a new hospital they are opening (tells about it in the latest GEOGRAPHIC). If he goes, I plan to spend part of April 1976 there — God willing. "All good wishes to Kimberley and the Academy — a great team! "P.S. Elizabeth Prentiss Jones visited me here in the country last summer. We had such fun."

'25 TKS Class Secretary: Mrs. H. Kimball Halligan (Helen Raymond) 489 Highland Avenue Upper Montclair, N.J. 07043 It was hard to believe that we were celebrating our 50th reunion at the alumnae luncheon on October 17th. Five members of the Class of '25 were there, decorated for the occasion with golden corsages from the Alumnae Association: Helen St. John Ball, Beth Stirling Dreher, Helen Raymond Halligan, Ruth Kimball, and Estelle Ebsen Rimmele. Several of you were good about sending notes, but we were saddened by one from Mary Weston saying that she could not come and reporting that she and a friend were going on a trip to New York state to see the fall foliage. She and the friend were killed there in an auto accident. We have since had a newsy note from Mary Stewart Blake but we are unhappy to report that she has been ill. Her son, who lives quite near, has two boys and two girls. His oldest is a sophomore at Lehigh. Her daughter, Anne, has lived all over the Far East but is now in Pennsylvania. Her only child is married and lives in New York. Mary has been a widow since 1967. Helen St. John Ball, who lived in Canada for many years, now lives here at 10 Crestmont Road when she isn't off on one of her many trips. She was excited about her 13-year old Canadian grandson who has such a beautiful boy soprano voice that he has been asked to sing at one of the Queen's garden parties. Marietta Ewald Cook, who is known to her friends these days as "Peg," spends more and more time on Cape Cod. She wrote that she couldn't be here for the luncheon because she and Win were flying to California where they were spending two days with daughter, Nancy. . . a Phi Beta Kappa who finds contentment on a farm where she and a friend "freeze and can their vegetables and fruit, raise chickens, sell eggs, barter with neigh bors." Peg says, "no indoor plumbing, no electricity. . . We are staying in a motel, natch!" The Cooks went on to Hawaii from there. Beth Stirling Dreher proclaims that she is a "doting grandmother" who has taken each of her three granddaughters at age 16 on the

"grand tour." The oldest is a senior at Wells, MKA. (A great idea which will be passed on to the second is a sophomore at Dartmouth, and the Council.) The Stapfs live in Doylestown, the youngest is a junior in high school. Beth is Pennsylvania. Alfred wrote, "For a number of a widow and lives in Darien with her son and family nearby. Gladys Ferry couldn't make the luncheon but said that she is planning another trip to California. She does interesting weaving which she has promised to show to those of us here. I am busy studying portrait painting at the Art Museum (shades of Miss Taylor!) and being part of a lively French-speaking group that deserts husbands each spring for a week's visit to France. Ruth Kimball now lives at 125 Gates Avenue. She keeps busy taking short trips and enjoying her freedom to- get around after being tied down taking care of an ill mother for a number of years. Estelle Ebsen Rimmele and Hans still live at Alfred and Doris Stapf 51 Tremont Place. Estelle, who spent a number of years going to art school in New years I have been in my own business and, as York, has a woodworking shop in her cellar a result, there is no special time when one where she makes all kinds of interesting should retire."

Class Secretary: Miss Susie S. Sterling 133 North Mountain Avenue Montclair, N.J. 07042 I had such a pleasant surprise this fall when I had a call from Laura Hurd Motion. Doris Krebs and I arranged to meet her for lunch. Laura looks very well and we had a great chat getting caught up. The reason for her being in Morristown was because her mother-in-law had fallen and broken a hip. Laura and her husband, Bob, spend their summers in Madison, Connecticut. She was very excited because her son's wife had just had a baby boy, the first grandchild. Laura plays a lot of tennis — guess that is why she looks so well. Connie Parkhurst Chauncey and Pearce returned to Florida from a wonderful summer in Merepoint, Maine, where they own a home. Four days after they were in Florida they flew to the coast, rented a car and drove to Salt Lake City; Colter Bay, Wyoming; Yellowstone Park; Bryce and Zion Canyons; Las Vegas; and San Francisco. They visited their daughter, Audrey, in S.F. for a week, then to Carmel, back to S .F., and home. Connie and Pearce have thirteen grand children. Connie sends her best to all of you. I had a nice letter from Frances Fernald Draper. Fran's trip to Spain and Portugal was

cancelled because of the political situation in the latter country. She is now making plans to go to the Greek Islands in the spring. Fran always keeps busy with concerts, church work, and art tours. Her daughter lives near her in Brookhaven, Pennsylvania, teaching history and social studies in a high school. Her son, Bill, Jr., lives in Sari Antonio, Texas.

The article was about her three mysteries and various articles that she has written. Her book, Devon Maze, is also on exhibit at the Upper School. Kit Meeks called me from California the other night in response to my card for news. Kit is fine but is planning to sell her house in Del Mar and get an apartment in Coronado. She still plays golf and keeps active. She hopes to get to Honolulu when she gets settled. Doris Blondel Krebs is fine. I see her often. She is a volunteer worker two days a week at Mountainside Hospital, and visits her children and her eight grandchildren often. Mary Cunningham Johnston lost her husband last winter in Florida. She is trying to sell her lovely but much-too-large-for-one house in North Salem, N.Y. Perhaps you wondered why there was no news in the spring issue from our class. I was in the hospital. I'm fine now and keep very

busy. I do wish you could have come to Alumnae Day this fall. I was the only one from the Class of '29. It was a really great day. If you ever get to Montclair, you must tour the three campuses. Jeanne is coming to Montclair tomorrow so I will take her to see them.

It has been a very challenging and rewarding ex perience, and I particularly enjoy being in volved with young people and their many activities. I like to think it helps to keep me young! At least in spirit and attitudes, if not in years. "Our son Jay graduated from Princeton in 1969 and received his PhD. in Microbiology in 1974 at the University of Pennsylvania, where he is working and doing more research. Jay is married and lives in Philadelphia. Our daughter Lynn and her husband have been living on Cape Cod for five years but have returned to Montclair with their two children — Chris, 7, and Bridgette, 6 months. We are looking forward to having them nearer to us so we can enjoy our grandchildren and, no doubt, do some babysitting."

Thomas Braine, who received his B.A. and M .A. degrees from Williams College, is a teacher of history at the Dwight-Englewood School. The school has recently received a grant from the Edward B. Ford Foundation, funds from which will go towards developing a project entitled, "Now or Never". . . . a new approach to the teaching of history in secondary schools. Mr. Braine is the author of the concept, which provides an intensive study of American history relating it to other courses in the history curriculum. It is his aim to develop a course connecting the present to the past, so that students will have a keener understanding of civilization as a whole. The Ford grant will enable him to be in residence at D-E and to collaborate with other members of the history department there.

Pine Manor, and both bride and groom are graduates of George Washington University. The wedding was unusual because it was held at our summer cottage in the 1000 Islands. A paddlewheeler carried the two large families and several guests from the island to the church ceremony on the mainland and back. Island neighbors attended the reception. The sun shone, the sky was blue, and we all had a smashing day! (Ed. Note: Please see the picture of the bride and groom with 1969 Class Notes.) Including myself and our four daughters, there were eleven Kimberley-ites at the wedding. There were nine Montclair Acade my alumni which included my husband, David, and our two sons. Edie Baber Campaigne and Jim combined a good summer vacation in Canada with a stop en route home at the 1000 Islands for the wedding. Kay Halsey Hutson and husband, Frank, have just had a beautiful visit at the Homestead in Hot Springs where they said the autumn foliage was breathtaking. We hope to visit Naples, Florida, together briefly in February.

Tracy is a senior at the Cape Elizabeth High School and college "hunting." Jon is a sophomore at Hebron Academy, and Danny is in the third grade. They all love living in Dick's native state, Maine. They cruise along the coast in the summer and have about 20 lobster traps. Audrey asks that if anyone comes near Portland, they give her a call or stop by 246 Ocean House Road, Cape Elizabeth. Peggy Jones Steuart wrote that four of the class got together in October at Sue Davis Tull's house for a mini-reunion. Audrey Carroll McBratney had come down to Maryland to bring a puppy to the Tulls. The fourth member was Jane Soucek Coughlin. "Jane and Joe, Guy and I, Audrey and Nug with the Tulls had a fantastic time. . .i t seemed that the years melted away and we were back in the 'fabulous fifties.' " Peggy also wrote that "other Kimberley-ites here in the area I see frequently are Sheila Brown Lindveit '53, Jackie Ambler Cusick '53, and, lately, Jean Fairgrieve Granum '52, who is now the librarian at my twins' school. I'd love to know if there are any others in our area of suburban Maryland, Virginia or D .C ." The Steuart children are: Elizabeth, 20, at Yale; Guy, III, a senior at St. Albans School; Bradley, 12, in the 6th grade at St. Albans; and Carter and Hugh, almost 10, and in the 4th grade at The Norwood School. Peggy is busy with many activities from being a member of the Board of Governors of the National Cathedral School for Girls and Vice President of Parents Council of Washington to producing, directing and acting for local musical productions.

(Fay Taft) 9 Gordon Place Montclair, N.J. 07042 Carol Humphrey White and I enjoyed our day at MKA on Alumnae Day, October 17th. Wish more of our classmates could have been there, too! I am very sad to report that Babs Pendleton Donnell's father died on October 15th. We all send our love and sympathy to you, Babs. Jeanne Fairgrieve Swensen was married in November to Captain Bradford S. Granum, U .S.N ., in Bethesda, Maryland. Jeanne is with the Norwood School in Potomac and her husband, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, is deputy commander of the Naval Oceanographic Office in Suitland, Maryland. Best wishes to you both.

'53 TKS Class Secretary: Mrs. Thomas Burgin (Lolly Penick) 328 Fairway Road Ridgewood, N.J. 07450 We received a nice note from Patricia Eddy Ford last summer. "We still enjoy Glaston bury, CT. Ben is still attorney with Pratt Whitney Aircraft and active in zoning and tennis. Doug is 14 and was named by the faculty as the most outstanding student in his class. Andy is 12 and Jeff, 10. They are all active in soccer, hockey, baseball, diving, and scouting. I drive the car! I am still in volved in various Junior League activities, head our Sunday School, am a Vestrywoman, den mother, etc. We do get to Essex Fells occasionally to visit my father. Vacations are usually at our house in Wayne, Maine."

'51 TKS Class Secretary: Mrs. Eric W . Stroh (Gail Robertson) 1097 Crayton Road Grosse Point, Ml 48230 The Alumni O ffice found our "lost" Anne LaBastille through an article in the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC (passed on to us by Rudy Deetjen, MA '50) which she had written on her life in the Adirondacks. An ecologist, Anne earned her Ph.D. in wildlife ecology and is also a freelance writer and lecturer. She left in October for six weeks on the Amazon River and the Trans-Amazonian Highway to study the ecological situation in that area and to write an article for the Audubon magazine.

'52 TKS Class Secretary: Mrs. Edward C. Fawcett

'54 TKS Class Secretary: Miss Georgia Carrington McDonogh School McDonogh, MD 21208 I "called the roll" and found a few of you there to answer. After such a long silence from our class, I had hoped for a better response, but at least we're back in print. Those of you on the homefront are certainly involved in the new functions and structure of MKA, and I continue to be impressed as I read about you in the magazines and the school publicity materials! I know some of you caught up on Alumnae Day, but for those who didn't, it seems that Aubin Zabriskie Ames, Fluffy Ferguson Morse and Lynn Towner Dodd are all helping in various capacities at the campus, sb the newly formed MKA is bound to be successful! (Ed. Note: Aubin, Fluffy, Lynn and C.Y. Mann Treene were with us for the luncheon.) Lynn did find time to send some news of her family: Bill is an insurance

broker; Bill, Jr., is a junior at Trinity-Pawling School; and her other three range from grades 9 - 2 at MKA. Lynn's role is Director of Enrich ment of MKA, so we know that job is in good hands. Mary Lee Bonnell Collins wrote last spring from Scottsdale, Arizona, "Who is Class Secretary and where is our class?" That prompted my curiosity, so I volunteered and here we are, Mary Lee, with your news first. She saw Patty Dennison Moser a year or so ago, as did I, and the two Moser daughters are darling! They live in Tulsa. The Collinses want to stay in Arizona forever, despite the summer heat. Mary Lee's young ones (she neglected to say how many or what sexes) are involved in gymnastics, horseback riding, and Brownies. In between car pools, Mary Lee edits the Medical Auxiliary Journal, among other things. Barbara Hobart Valbuena writes from Newark, Delaware, that she continues to play tennis for the Greenville Country Club where she has just completed a term as Chairperson of Social Activities. Her older daughter, Teresa, a junior at Tatnall School, is on the honor roll and tennis team; while Vivian, just 10, is in public school and spends her time in Girl Scouts, church choir, and a swimming team. In her spare time, Vivian plays the violin and recorder. Julian is head of graduate studies in Spanish at the University, and he has published a new book on Calderon. (I'd urge you to read it, but she doesn't say whether it's written in English or Spanish.) The Philadelphia area is about to enlarge with one o f us. Sylvia Middleton Seymour writes that Dave has a new job — in the in ternational field — and, by the time you read this, they will be settled in Bryn Mawr. Her two children, Andy (11) and Holly (6) keep her busy but she still has had time to drive special education children for the Board of Education in Connecticut and to work with the Junior League on Child Abuse. She talked to Amy Roberts Beebe, who has been raising two children, painting, and working on the Vassar Show House in the Philadelphia area. Word from the Duddens (Adrianne "Tookie" Onderdonk and Arthur) is that their lives are full and happy. Alexis is enjoying first grade at Baldwin School, Arthur is teaching at Bryn Mawr and writing a book now and then (his latest is in English — for the Bicentennial and on political humor) and Tookie is designing, book jackets primarily. Her business stationery is a very striking example of her work. The Duddens did some traveling last spring, using Arthur's lecturing as an excuse. Now Tookie has devised a reason to return to Italy, her favorite country. She broke her sandal. . . .and they're cheaper over there, right? As for me, I hear occasionally from Maree Callahan Currey, who, at last report, was chauffeuring her two daughters around the Summit area. Lee Wood Audbuy is now the mother of two very active children, one less than a year. Needless to say, she stays thin running after them. She was still teaching at the University of Toulouse. I'm now back in Maryland, having invaded an all male ad

ministrative staff at McDonogh School outside of Baltimore. The school just turned co-ed in the fall, having gone from the military three years ago. It's fascinating after having been in girls' schools all my life. I've kept my house outside of Philadelphia — my co-owner is living in it#g and I make the drive often as I have really grown to love that area. Last summer I ran the USTA Girls' National Intersectional Team Tennis Championships, as tennis is still number one on my list of interests. I find myself jogging the McDonogh campus to keep in shape, and I play as much tennis as I have time for. Also I'm coaching the girls' sports as part of my job; wish they hadn't changed the rules so drastically. Many thanks to all of you who wrote — hope the rest of you enjoyed catching up as much as I did. I guess the older we get the more nostalgic we become. So, make plans to come to our 25th — it isn't too far off I

'55 MA We were pleased to receive a brochure on The Institute of Judicial Administration, Inc., and to read about Paul Nejelski, IJA's Director. The Institute is a private nonprofit corporation dedicated to research and education in the administration of justice. Paul "served in the U.S. Department of Justice for six years as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of N .J., a trial attorney and head of a litigation unit in the Criminal Division in Washington, and chief of a research center in the National Institute of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice. After a year as the Assistant Director of the Harvard Law School Criminal Justice Center, he joined IJA in 1971 as Director of the planning phase of the IJAABA Juvenile Justice Standards Project, and became Director in 1973." Paul, who received his LL.B . from Yale University and his M .P.A. from American University, is an Adjunct Associate Professor of Law at New York University.

'56 TKS Class Secretary: Mrs. LawtherO. Smith (Linda Lovell) 30 Water Crest Drive Doylestown, PA 18901 Let's hear it for all you '56ers who gave me such a good return on my 14 cent post card investment! Now you can share my en joyment by reading the interesting news of your fellow classmates. Carol Cooper Henry writes, "We moved from Hingham in '71 and redid a house and built a pool and then in 72 had a baby girl" who joins Charles (6), and Billy (12). Big Bill, a veterinarian, has a growing group practice with three clinics and a big new hospital. He travels a lot here and abroad because of his

unusual practice and orthopedic work, and he's on the board of the American Board of Veterinary Surgeons. Carol's busy with synchronized swimming and teaching at the Quincy "Y". She's seen Bart and Henny Nelson Skeen and Don and Linda Cole LeStage. Linda writes from Attleboro, Mass., that they haven't been involved with any big changes or trips, "just the usual wifely, motherly, community activities that our lives are full of during these short school years." Nancy Cornell Esposito helps Gus with the bookkeeping at his Graphic Arts Center in Montclair while keeping up with Debbie (4), David (6), and Janie (10). She missed Jane Crawford Davis's summer visit, but saw Janie Goodwillie Swann's husband, Jerry, who said that Jane is busy with graduate school. In addition, Nancy regularly sees Judy Lindeman. Judy saw Henny in Mass, in June and had a great vacation in Seattle visiting her sister, Carol Barnard, and then Jean Parmalee in San Francisco where they went sailing in the Bay. Carol writes, "All is well in Seattle, America's most liveable city according to a recent Harper's Magazine piece." She's still busy working at the newspaper and on free lance research projects, in addition to playing tennis and squash. "I often think of our one time squash court classrooms at TKS." Also big on tennis are Tom and Meredyth Clark Graham in Media, Pennsylvania. They are both on inter-club teams at Idle Hour Tennis Club in Drexel Hill. Since both her girls, Katie (9) and Margaret (6) are in school full time, Meredyth does some substitute teaching. They also enjoyed a second honeymoon in St. Croix for about ten days. Although Rob Hallowell works at the Franklin Mint in Media, Pa., he commutes back week-ends to Ann de Vausney Hallowell and the kids, Jessica, 7th grade, and the twins, Ned and Chris, in 6th grade in Bedford, N.Y. This has been the situation for three years because they don't want to move. Ann, who has been teaching for seven years, is head of the pre-kindergarten at the Rippawam Cisqua School. "Many of the songs I use were learned during my Kimberley days with Miss Bauer and Miss Carpenter." Of the children, she adds that they are "much more athletic than I ever was, but not one of them can sing on key." I wonder if Sue Crook Sturchio sings while she teaches at the Morton Street1School in Newark five days a week or when she digs at "the petroglyph site in Parsippany on week ends, with crews from several high schools (unfortunately none from M KA)." Working on her masters in Anthropology at N .Y.U . and being treasurer for both the Passaic River Basin Archaeological Survey, Inc. and the Metropolitan Chapter of N.Y. State Arch'l Society keep her very busy. She concludes, I "did the archaeology thing with my daughter's 6th gr. class at MKA last winter. (All those boys look so strange in the halls!)" Boys are the natural order of things for Dave and Connie Sommer Perham, with

Philip (13), David (10), Andrew (7), and Coeffrey (5). They're in Hamilton, N .Y.; which boasts its own ski slope, where Dave has been Dean of Admissions at Colgate for four years, and Connie owns, with three others, The Trillium, a small gift, antique, and craft shop. "I'm also taking a silver jewelry course at Kirkland Art Center. My respect for silver craftsmen is extremely high, since I've already melted a few goodies." In addition, they've been redoing their over 100 year old house and pickling, canning, and freezing the yearly produce from "farmer Dave's" garden. In their spare time, Rupert and Gill Brisbane Ingram also work on their old colonial house in Newbury, Mass., but most of the time is spent running their book publishing company, Newbury House. "We have published 50 texts over the last 4Vi years in language teaching and language science. We do our own production up to the printing stage, challenging work which keeps us busy traveling — tiring but satisfying!" As if life weren't full enough, they have an "energetic pair" of daughters, Vinca in 7th grade and Hillary, S V i. Molla Kaplan Relsbaum, in Wyckoff, is also involved with her three energetic children, Jonathan, almost 13 (who will become a Bar Mitzvah on Thanksgiving), Michael (10), and Emily (6). In addition to tennis,, P.T.O . V .P ., and a museum course in N .Y.C ., Molla and Carol Kramer (wife of George — M .A. '54) have started a stationery business, Pretty Papers, out of their homes in Wyckoff and Clifton. The letter on which she wrote her news (brown with navy trim for decoration and personalization) was very smart. Her address is: 331 Lakeview Dr., Wyckoff, N .J., 07481 if anyone's interested in more info. Also involved in business in N.J. is Nancy Prescott Ward who works for Bob's answering service three days a week in addition to being involved in her church's women's group. "B o b 'l| advertising agency and printing company are finally settled into our new office building." At home in Smoke Rise they're enjoying the antics of Vicki, in 2nd grade, who's busy with Brownies and dancing lessons, and Jenny 2'A, who "keeps telling people she goes to school, which of course is entirely untrue!" Lilia Emetaz McDonald writes from Eugene, Oregon, that when she was East this summer, her 2 year old, Malcolm, had fun with Jenny when they visited the Wards. Lilia also took Elizabeth, 8th grade, and John Andrew, 6th grade, to Washington and Williamsburg to enhance their school studies of the area. John, her husband, met Rob Halloweil on the Metro liner on the return trip. Lilia, always busy, (she sent two cards, because her news wouldn't fit on one!) is Chairman of the Family Shelter House and on the admissions committee for the Jr. League. She's also on the advisory committee for John-A's school and is still in the League of Women Voters. Elizabeth, who enjoys track and long jump, went to a Trappers camp with the scouts to learn survival camping. John-A enjoys hockey but not the two-hour drive to the Portland

rink. Malcolm does go one morning a week to a 2 yr. old nursery school, because there are no neighbors his age. Betsy Beatty Sanford writing from Basking Ridge includes the ages of her three children, Rich (13), Andrew (10), and Lindie (6). Betsy says she can "crow about" her involvement with the Children's Theatre Program that she's chairing this year, and her efforts in having her neighborhood placed on the National Register of Historic Districts. Now they're working on having the town adopt its own local historical zoning ordinance. Dick is on the school board, which is time consuming, but he feels is very worthwhile. Janko and Carol Van Brunt Rasic have spent as much time as possible at their newly built week-end house in Quogue, L .l. which Janko, an architect, designed. "It is not only an exciting house, but is a delight to live in." Carol is still a officer with Morgan Guaranty in New York. Anne King Franges and Tom recently had a get together with Carol and Janko. Anne, busy as always, is "representing St. Luke's Church on the first Montclair Housing Corp., which is going to try to build some senior citizens' apartments with H .U .D . money. (It's a non profit church corp.)" Anne also included a most appetizing offer. "For the record — if the 20th reunion is looking for a house, ours is available — and we just put in a swimming pool this Labor Day." On Labor Day we began moving from our rented Victorian parsonage circa 1887 in Doylestown borough to a house we bought in the Township. Larry's still very involved with his "new" (almost 3 year old) company. Scott (13) is in the throes of Jr. High and soccer and had a great time at camp in Maine this summer. Like most girls her age, Sabrina (8) enjoys school and Brownies. I'm busy settling into the new house, playing tennis, and working on various volunteer projects. Now, see what an interesting bunch we are! Thanks again to all those (many for the first time) who wrote. For those of you who haven't yet returned your cards, do so, and I will use the info for the next issue.

'58 TKS Class Secretary: Mrs. Reginald Leeby (Anne McCormick) 135 Fairfield Street Fayetteville, N.Y. 13066 A note to the Alumni Office from Nancy Louise Gilman Breckenridge told us that, "I have been working on a large organic garden project to feed my family and improve my horticultural skills. Besides, everything tastes so good when it's perfectly fresh and ripe. My daughter, Anita Lee, is in second grade and is very busy with dance, gymnastics and piano lessons. We have a menagerie: 4 cats, 3 crabs (tree), 2 fish, and 2 large turtles. I am also raising orchids on a small scale and working at spinning, weaving and natural dyeing."

would like to start informal morning coffee sessions completely 'a la Française. Perhaps there may be other women in the local community who would, as well as herself, like to improve their French. On October 17th I attended an alumnae meeting at the Kimberley campus, called for voting acceptance of the new joint Alumni Association By-Laws. The By-Laws Com mittee, made up of members from the two predecessor associations, worked long and hard to give the new body a fine product. Along with musical activity at home and at church, I'm in my second year of art classes at The Yard School of Art, Montclair. Besides painting in acrylics, my once-a-week class has been learning to draw. . . something I never thought I could do. Improving skill at drawing simple geometric shapes is fascinating.

'62 TKS Class Secretary: Mrs. Thomas Pohl (Carol Vincelette) 1736 Scheffer Avenue St. Paul, MN 55116 MA Richard Rosenblum and Barbara Axelrod were married last June and are living in Hackensack. Barbara is a teacher in Bergen County, and Richard continued his job as a librarian atSeton Hall University. John Bieyle wrote, "My wife, two daughters, dog, cat, and I are all fine. I transferred from General Reinsurance Cor poration's Hartford office to our new home office in Greenwich last summer, and we have been living in Darien, Connecticut, since then. I was promoted to Assistant Secretary this past M ay." Congratulations to Mike Gerow and Diane on the birth of their daughter, Emily, in February, 1975, and to Mr. and Mrs. Byron Noone on the arrival of Jennifer Nguyen Noone, at age six months, on June 6th, 1975!

Many thanks to all of you who responded to my letter asking for news. We're looking forward to hearing from the rest of our classmates. Lynn Buttel McElroy wrote that her second son, Eric, was born last July, one week after they moved into their new house. Her older boy, Jeffrey, will be four in January. Linda Brennan Hymans is in Florham Park with her husband, Jeff, her son, Michael (5) and little daughter, Kerry, who is one. Dorothy Dembiak Perrott caught us up on her activities for the last years. She was graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson in 1968 with a B.S. in accounting. In November, 1969, she married John, who is a systems analyst in computers. Dorothy recently returned to school to get a B.A. in education. She and her husband now live in East Rutherford, N.J. Dorothy writes that she now owns a horse (Arabian gelding) named Erin and that she rides "constantly." Nancy Finn had much news, also. After being graduated from Wooster, she taught at Park Ridge, N.J. until last July when she resigned to marry Art Kerper, who works for Dow Chemical in Midland, Michigan. Nancy is keeping busy substitute teaching and teaching gymnastics, as well as coaching volley ball at a local high school. In Park Ridge one of her students became state champion in the discus last spring. Nancy also sent news of two other alum nae: Sherry Newcomb Ashenbach and her husband, Kurt, are off to live in Europe again with their two children — Annis (6) and Peter (4); Winnie Brehm Humphrey lives in Cleveland with her husband, Robin, and their four children — Shawn (6), Ryan and Randy (3 1/2), and Holden (5 months). Cathy Krebs Suitar filled us in on her ac tivities. She and Ron have a son, Scott, aged three. Cathy has also been doing interesting work. While her husband was in graduate school at U .N .C. at Chapel Hill, she did research for a doctor in the psychology department. The Suitars then went to Bar Harbor, Maine, while Ron did post doctorate work at the Jackson Laboratory (a center for mammalian genetics and cancer research) while Cathy did research in tissue culture. They enjoyed Maine so that they bought a summer house there and have returned for two summers as supervisors for the summer training program at Jackson Laboratory (an intensive training program for college, graduate, and medical students). They are now in Seneca Falls at Eisenhower College where they are head residents of one of the dorms. Ron is an assistant professor of ex perimental psychology and Cathy is keeping busy "dabbling in real estate," taking some science courses, and taking care of Scott. Cathy says she wishes "lots of people in the class would write because it would be great to hear what everyone is up to." Barbara Mahler Markussen writes that her family is still in Michigan, enjoying the snow. Kris is six now, and Jeff is two and a half. Her husband, Carl, is still enjoying flying B-52's. I was sorry we missed Lynn Sanders Pizzirusso

and her family on their way through Pen sacola on vacation. They now have a little boy, James Joseph ("Jamie") who was born July 8th as well as their little girl, Jenny. They are all still doing well in Memphis. We're still in Pensacola trying to get our lawn to grow. I'm keeping busy with our wild two-year old, Jamie, and our somewhat calmer four-year old, Beth. I've also become a Tupperware lady. I play my flute in the Pensacola civic band, dabble in duplicate bridge, and am active in the activities of the wives in Schools Command, where my husband works. He is teaching human resource relations courses to Naval Air Officer Candidates, and is also taking courses at the University of West Florida to get his master's in business administration.

'65 TKS Class Secretary: Mrs. B. R. Madsen (Betsy Ridge) Box 415 Essex, MA 01929 Bonnie Frutchey Barrett, Margaret Crawford Bridge, Jane Ellen Kuzmick Izod, and Andrea Sporer Simon celebrated their "tenth" with us on October 17th. It was great to see them here on their "old" campus. They, and we, also enjoyed reading the notes that came in from some of their absent classmates.

Sally Poor Owen with Harry and Scott Sally Poor Owen wrote, "After graduating from Colorado Women's College in Denver in 1969 I began working on front desks in hotels there. In August, 1970, I married Harry D. Owen, Jr., who also worked in the hotel business. Starting at front desks, he pro gressed from front desk manager to banquet supervisor to assistant manager and, even tually, to manager of a Holiday Inn. During that time, we lived in Denver and Fort Collins, Colorado, and Rock Springs, Wyoming. A beautiful son, Scott, was born to us in Sep tember, 1973. We are now living in

Breckenridge, Colorado, a ski resort just outside of Denver. My hands are full with an active two-year old, and Harry is assistant food and beverage manager at the Keystone Lodge, another ski area near by." Sally also sent news of her sister, Joan, which we have included under Class of '66 notes. Sari Combos McLaughlin wrote that the last ten years have been good to her. She was graduated from Dunbarton College in 1969 with a B.A. in English and Philosophy. She worked as an editorial assistant for a book

Gypsum, Colorado, outside of Vail. Joan went to Mount Holyoke College and, after an interim, was graduated from Bennington College. After working in New York City and Fort Collins, Colorado, Joan married Larry Clarke in November, 1974. She now runs the small Vail airport, and Larry works for S ta| Bakery. Francine Onorati Crawford won first prize this fall in the Nathan Burkan Copyright Law Competition held at New England School of Law. Her paper, along with the second prize winner's, will be entered in the national competition sponsored by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP). Francine, a Dean's List student, is in her last year of law school. She and her husband, William , a free lance writer and photographer, live in Boston where Francine plans to practice law following her graduation. We all enjoyed seeing Alina Seborowski Andersen on Alumnae Day. Alina came down from Connecticut a day early so she could visit classes at our three campuses and see students from her teaching days at TKS. MA

Sari Combos McLaughlin and her husband Leo publishing house, then went into magazine publishing as an associate editor on two monthlies and the editor of a quarterly. She "retired" in June, 1973, when she married Leo McLaughlin, and began to pursue fulltime the free lance writing career she had commenced while with the magazines. Sari and Leo live in Wyckoff, N.J. Leo teaches literary theory at Ramapo College and is Director of Tutorials. He is also a part-time faculty member of Union Graduate School, which along with the University Without Walls, is part of the Union for Experimenting Colleges and Universities. Sari has become particularly interested in the etymology of various western languages and in various methods of acquiring a foreign language. She hopes that if any of you have some ideas on these subjects, you will share them with her. We read in the paper of Mary Ayres' marriage to Randall Anthony Hack in August. Mary was graduated from Smith College and studied abroad at The University of Geneva and the Institut d'Hautes Etudes In ternationale during her junior year. She received her master's degree from the City University of New York and is head kin dergarten teacher at The Episcopal School in New York City.

Southern, Box 274 Tempe, AZ 85282 Your Secretary wrote that she has moved her antique shop, Rosemary Antiques, to Scottsdale after a year's learning experience in Phoenix. She says the challenge has been really big but exciting, and she hopes that, if any of you get out that way, you'll stop in and say hello. Nancy Plummer Nazarian and Barry (MA '62) have just moved into their new house in Upper Montclair. Nancy can't wait to start decorating the 80-year old Victorian, and Barry has great plans for the carriage house. Nancy is a member of the MKA Alumni Council, and Barry continues to help coach the football team on a volunteer basis. Nancy N. also told us that Nancy Penick is doing a fabulous renovating job on a house in Woodstock, Vermont, and that Karen Strom is touring Europe. Dawn Geannette was seen on an ABC documentary in December, "The Hidden Handicap." Dawn was filmed working with her students at the N.J. Association for Children With Learning Disabilities in Con vent Station, on the campus of St. Elizabeth's College. MA A Spring wedding is planned for Jack O'Neill and Anne Whitehead (TKS '71). Jack, a graduate of Princeton University, is associated with the Wall Street firm of Baker, Weeks, Inc. in the institutional department. Larry Jaeger joined Interpoint in Chicago after graduating from the University of Denver. He is living (when he isn't on the road) in Fairfield Bay, Arkansas. Frank Kunzier was married last May to Anne Fiorovanti. Frank, a graduate of Syracuse University, was also graduated from the Temple University School of Law last spring.

MA We learned this summer that Robert Fazio was graduated last June from the Harvard School of Dental Medicine with the D.M .D. degree cum laude. Besides receiving general honors, Bob received the Harvard Dental Alumni Association's Silver Medal Award for Outstanding Scholastic Achievement; the Grace Milliken Award for Distinguished Clinical Research; the American Academy of Periodontology's Annual Student Award; and was inducted into the Gamma Gamma Chapter of the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Society, the national dental honors society.

'69 TKS Class Secretary: Mrs. Charles Gildea (Lynn Erhardt) 49 East Saddle River Road Saddle River, N.J. 07458 Although we were not able to get 100% participation for this issue, I did hear from a number of our classmates. Andy Goddard telephoned from Chestertown, Maryland, where she is an assistant book store manager at Washington College. Phyllis LaTouche writes that she is presently Special Projects Manager for the Capital District Business Review in Albany and loves

her job. Nina Szot Boral has been busy. She is married to an anesthesiologist at St. Mary's Hospital in Passaic, and she and her husband, Andrew, are in the process of buying a home in the Clifton area. Nina plans to have her master's in music education at N .Y.U. completed by January as she is expecting a child early in February.

Bride and groom [TKS and MA '69] Barbara Haviland and William Brogan. The story of their wedding is told in TKS '34 class notes by Barbara's mother.

70 TKS Many thanks to Kathy Powell for her years as Class Secretary. Kathy has a new job, Assistant Director of Admissions at Goucher College in Towsan, Maryland, and finds that she is so busy with school visits and meetings year round that she is relinquishing her Class Secretary post. Any volunteers in the Class of 70? We'd all like to hear your news.

My good friend Jeff Levin enjoyed a busy summer after graduating magna cum laude in economics from Lafayette. He was active in Hillel, student government, and Phi Beta Kappa. (In addition, I might add, to being a great host on my last visit to campus.) Jeff now attends Northwestern University as a member of the joint JD-MM program. Don't hesitate to call for help with your math, Jeff! Bruce Pastorini was a history major and member of Kappa Delta Rho before graduating from Lafayette College last summer. He trained with R .O .T .C . in Newport, Virginia, and is currently assigned to duty with the Transportation Corps in Germany. Vernon Potter reports that teaching elementary school near Columbus, Ohio, is "loads of fun." Vern majored in elementary education at Ohio Wesleyan before receiving his B.A. last June.

I'm presently up to my ears in books at New York University, where I plan to receive an M .B .A . in ac counting next year. I look forward to hearing from everyone, so keep those cards and letters coming in! A note to the Alumni Office this summer from Paul Cosentino told us that he graduated from Harvard in June and that he was recuperating from back surgery in August. Paul is planning to work for a year or two and then attend business school. We read in the paper that John Apgar received his bachelor's degree in biology from Middlebury College in June.

71 TKS Class Secretary: Miss Linda Braeder 27 Edgecliff Road Upper Montclair, N.J. 07043 Anne Whitehead's parents have announced her engagement to Edward Thomas O'Neill (MA '68). A Spring wedding is planned. Anne was graduated with honors and distinction from Stanford University last June, and she is now co-owner of a new tennis shop in the Village Mews in Upper Montclair, "Court Casuals." What a nice surprise to open the Crystal Spring School's Newsletter and see a picture of Alison Anderson as a "new faculty face." Alison joined Headmaster Richard K. Loveland's faculty as an intern teacher in the Stanford Teacher Educators Program this fall and is teaching Middle School English. She will receive her Master's in June. We read that Monique Mustacchi received her bachelor's degree from the University of Hartford in June. Monique, a dean's list student, majored in art history.

Andy Abramson holds a B.S. in Engineering from Pornell Universitz, and is now con ducting rresearch there under an Alcoa Foundation grant received this year. He expects to complete requirements for a master's certificate in structural engineering by December, 1976. Andy is presently finalizing plans for a Christmas trip to South Africa, where he will visit Stanley Civin (MA 70) who lived with the Abramsons while studying as an exchange student at the Academy.

Don't spend too much time at that beach, Tom!

TKS Class Secretary: Miss Kate Curtin Box 1476, Rollins College Winter Park, FL 32789 We heard that your Secretary, a senior at Rollins, has been selected for inclusion in the 1975-76 edition of Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. Congratulations, Kate. Word also came that Lilian Leung is serving as vice president of the American Chemical Society at Franklin and Marshall College. The society is composed of chemistry majors and annually sponsors a variety of lecture programs and social activities. We read that Debbie Peck is on the women's tennis team at Yale University.

MA Class Secretary: Samuel S. Weiss Winthrop House, C 31 Harvard College Cambridge, MA 02138 Your new Secretary is the producer of Harvard University's 128th Annual Hasty Pudding Show, "Tots in Tinseltown." It will be playing in New York City March 27 and 28 at the Barbizon Plaza Hotel. Sam is also a member of the Faculty Council on the Arts.

73 TKS Class Secretary: Miss Constance van Eeghen Hopkins A, Smith College Northampton, MA 01060 The activity enjoyed by my former classmates appears to be fiercely intense, or so I infer from the lack of response to my semi-annual queries for enlightenment! Indeed, part of the brevity of this humble contribution stems from my own attempts to hold together a double-major of economics and philosophy plus write a series of articles for a newspaper of western Massachusetts. Nonetheless, I did receive a flashing note from Elza Dzenis who spent the summer as a junior draftsman in an architectural firm in New Jersey. She has moved her academic residence from the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence to the Moore College of Art in Philadelphia, which she finds highly satisfactory. Nancy von Lengerke, according to a proxy letter from her mother, has spent portions of the past two years on a safari in Kenya with the rest of her family — and on a tour of the states out west, including a stop in the Grand Canyon to gather geological specimens for her major at St. Lawrence. Nancy is spending this year, however, over in Vienna, con centrating on German history and art courses, and is taking no small advantage of the operas, concerts, wine houses and pastry shops there! Have a good year, friends! Hope to hear from you soon. Word from Mount Holyoke College is that Susan Read has been named a Sarah Williston

74 TKS Class Secretary: Miss Leslie Aufzien Box 1199, Rollins College Winter Park, FL 32789 Your secretary writes that she is still busy in the theatre. She was assistant stage manager for the "Music M an," and is the stage manager for "The Front Page." She's very excited about that, as are we! Leslie also reported that Bonnie McBratney has transferred to Colgate and is very happy, and that Sue Yentema has transferred to the University of Vermont. Your editor received a nice note from Lisa Schwarz: "I have four more courses needed to complete my major in psychology. Next fall I shall be entering Ohio Wesleyan's first nursing class, and it will take three years to get my B.S.N . I spent part of my summer at Duke University's summer session. Last winter I took a course in emergency victim care. I am now an emergency medical technician, riding on an ambulance squad with firemen. I love the work so much that I usually spend 20 to 40 hours per week on duty. In January, Delaware (Ohio) will institute their paramedic unit and there will be even more work to do." Great, Lisa! How about more '74-ers writing news to Leslie or to the Alumni Office? MA Class Secretary: Anthony Celentano Box 128 Westminster Choir College Princeton, N.J. 08540 Flarvey Kravis entered Franklin and Mar shall College this September.

Director for Gettysburg's radio station. She also gave us the sad news that Ralph LaSalle's father died in September. We all send sympathy, Ralph, to you and your family. It was good to see '75-ers at the Homecoming Game1'*- and very nice to see Joanne Mihulik, Sally McBratney, and Karen Kelley on Alumni Day. A nice note came from Diana Rowe telling us that her family moved to Worthington, Ohio, after MKA graduation in June. She is busy at Denison University and "managed to smash tradition that freshman don't get roles in productions here by being chosen for 'John and Abigail.' " Diana is going to fly in to see Mrs. Faden's spring production and hopes some other '75-ers will be home the first weekend in March.
