AN EXPRESSION OF FAITH More than 3,300 sons and daughters of Alma Mater will contribute a sum in excess of $135,000 to the University this year through the Alumni and Alumnae funds. As has so often been said, these gifts constitute a living endowment; they are also an expression of faith in the University and in the laudable goals of higher education. In the Alumni Fund total are 36 gifts from 18 American industries, each gift matching a contribution of an employe-alumnus of the University. That's the way great business organizations such as Philip Morris, IBM, Esso, Ford, and a number of insurance companies express their appreciation of what the University did in training these employes. If the University's educational program means that much to industry, should it not mean even more to each alumnus who has benefited so abundantly from his years at the University? As Warren Pace, '43, executive vice president of the Life Insurance Company of Virginia, has pointed out, each year spent at the University of Richmond is worth more than $25,000 in lifetime earnings to the alumnus. The columns of the Alumni Bulletin are seldom used to promote the Alumni and Alumnae funds. It seems proper, however, to express a word of thanks to the companies which have contributed to the 1964 Fund and at the same time make a last appeal to those alumni who benefited a great deal from their years at the University but who have not contributed to the '64 Fund. It is not too late to give. Whatever your gift you will not be in a unique category-this year's contributions range from a few dollars up to a few thousand. Give as much as you can afford to give-but by all means give something. Let this be the year that both the Alumni Fund and the Alumnae Fund reached new highs in the number of givers and in the total gift.

THENEWSESSION The grass grew green in the University of Richmond "lake" as the largest student body in history launched the 1964-65 session. But there was a handsome new bridge and spillway at the lower end of the area which soon will be flooded again with water to provide the accustomed centerpiece of beauty. It is expected that water will be flowing over the spillway in December. For the men there were two big plusses -a brand new kitchen which was expected to provide both better service and greater variety of food, and, on paper, a new dormitory which will be located between Wood and Dennis halls. Ground was broken in October to insure completion of the building before the start of the 1965-66 session next September. The increased enrollment, according to Richmond College Dean Robert F. Smart, emphasizes the need for more dormitories for the me.n, many of whom were standing by in October as an earth-moving machine bit out the first chunk of ground. The dormitory will house 105 men and will bring the total Richmond College dormitory accomodations to 750. (There is an immediate need for another dormitory of identical size.) The new dormitory will be three stories, of red brick trimmed with limestone, in the University's traditional collegiate Gothic. Increased enrollments were reported in the University's seven divisions, with an all-time first semester total of 5,616, full-

time and part-time students. Of the 1,211 Richmond College students, 450 were newcomers to the University-a freshman class described by Dean Smart and Admissions Director Thomas N. Pollard, Jr. as clearly the best-prepared class in the school's history . Westhampton had an equally wellprepared freshman class of 200 in a student body of 600. The freshman class enrollment was swelled to 800 by the initial class of 125 in the University's new junior college, located at University College, on the old campus at Grace and Lombardy streets. Many of these students will join their classmates on the main campus at the end of their two-year program. The deans of the University's seven divisions announced their enrollment figures at the opening convocation in the Luther H. Jenkins Greek Theater, when seniors donned caps and gowns for the first time to march in academic procession with the faculty. Freshmen filled the remaining seats of the theater. The largest increase of the seven divisions was announced by Dean Martin L. Shotzberger of University College, who reported a total of 1,763, including the evening division and the Junior College, up 243 over last year. Richmond College enrollment was up by 87 students, and the Summer School enrollment reached a record high of 1,512. Westhampton's enrollment was 602; the T. C. Williams School of Law, 199; the

School of Business Administration, 215 ; and the Graduate School, 114. The students heard the convocation speaker, Dr. H. Sherman Oberly, retired president of Roanoke College, deliver a new commandment: "Thou Shalt Not Kill Time ." Dr. Oberly suggested the students use wisely their years at the University, setting aside time for preparation of assignments, thinking, recreation and prayer. He told the students that a University canonly provide the environment and opportunity for growth and development, and urged them to set a high goal for themselves. "Filling classrooms with those in the 15 to 23 age group is not the solution for dealing with the underprivileged, the social problem and the under-achievers," Dr. Oberly said, adding that the solution rests with positive willingness-not merely agreeable acquiecence-on the part of the individual to set a high goal. Newcomers to the student body were welcomed to the Richmond area churches by Rev. Constantine N. Dombalis , president of the Richmond Area Ministerial Association, and pastor of Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church.

AlumniAddressUnioersityConoocations Three of the University's most distinguished alumni addressed student convocations in October under the auspices of the General Society of Alumni. Dr. Fillmore H. Sanford, '35, dean of the division of social sciences at New College, Sarasota, Florida, made the first address on Oct. 1, followed at week intervals by Dr. Vernon B. Richardson, '35, pastor of University Baptist Church in Baltimore, and Charles H. Ryland, '36, a Warsaw, Va., attorney and member of the University's board of trustees. On the platform with each of the speakers was A. W. Goode, '42, president of the Society. Goode is president of Dillard Paper Company in Richmond. Sanford, who achieved distinction at the University in his undergraduate days by winning a Phi Beta Kappa key as well as athletic letters, drew enthusiastic applause from the students in an address in which he urged them to assert themselves, to develop their own personalities, "to avoid being peas in a cultural pod." A nationally-known psychologist, whose textbooks are used at colleges and universities throughout the nation, Sanford told the students that "there remains more room in our society than we vision and a more vital leavening function than we conceive of for the idiosyncratic, for the highly individual, and maybe even for the crank and the kook."

Dr. Sanford urged the students to "be unashamedly young while you have chronological reality in your favor," adding that knowledge is exploding and technological change is coming at an exponential rate. "In the face of this snowballing challenge, we stay young in mind or else we become the youngest old fogeys in the history of civilization," he said. An equally enthusiastic student audience one week later heard Dr. Richardson express his appreciation that in his undergraduate days there "was provided the intellectual and spiritual climate that encouraged occasions to see life in all of its relationships, its undefinable unity and spaciousness." He asked the students to "develop a wholeness of life," adding that "the surest road to oblivion is to leave college with a diploma in hand, a mass of facts in your mind, but without any solid identification with enduring values around which life can be built." "Society is waiting," he said, "for just such persons whom it can mold and fashion into well-rounded zeros." Dr. Richardson said growing "is primarily a matter of moving discipline from the outside to the inside, and this transfer of authority is the big event of campus years." He urged the students to make the transition orderly, for "it is your only guarantee against lost identity in a social order that is astonishingly adept at making everyone over into its own image."

[ 3]

Ryland told the students that "those who come to college just to learn how to make a 'fast buck' are charting a dangerous course. The Warsaw attorney said that education should not be sought for selfish reasons, but for use as a tool for the maturing of the entire person to make that individual fit for competition and contribution to and in the society of which he is a part. Education, he said, "is the instrument which helps us accept the society which is ours, live with it as best we can, and improve with what skills we have." Ryland continued: " It is devoutly hoped that during your years here, you will absorb from the faculty the great truths of life they seek to teach and above all else, learn a measure of the application of these teachings with common sense to the life that you will lead after you leave here." He said education "must consist of having knowledge penetrated with common sense; it must allow you to know the proper way to translate thought into action without losing the spiritual quality of life." Each of the speakers was a leader on the campus during his student days. All were members of Omicron Delta Kappa leadership fraternity, and Ryland and Richardson were members of Tau Kappa Alpha forensics fraternity. Sanford, in addition to earning his Phi Beta Kappa key, was an all-Southern Conference tackle.

JungleCamp BY CORAL MEARS, '63

As the M.A.F. pilot maneuvered the little plane over and between the high peaks of Chiapas, Mexico, I really felt that I was in the hands of God . When we reached Jungle Camp, I was met by the staff and ushered to what was to be my home for the next six weeks- a little mud hut with grass roof. I fell on my knees on the mud floor to thank the Lord for the dedicated Missionary Aviation Fellowship pilots who risk their lives daily to fly missionaries into remote areas. I thanked the Lord too that I was to have three months training to 'prepare me to live in a primitive Indian tribe as a literacy teacher. My roommate at "Main Base" was Vida Chenoweth, author and C(oncert marimbist. Vida has been guest soloist with Symphony Orchestras all over the world but now she has dedicated her life, too, to getting the Holy Scriptures translated into the language of primitive tribes. Our classes at Jungle Camp consisted of swimming , canoeing, mechanics, carpentry, Tzeltal (the Indian language of the surrounding area), and clinic. In clinic class, our instructor, Dr. Bob Crawford taught us in simple language how to sew up lacerations, do skin grafts, give injections , give intervenous and subcutaneous feedings, pull teeth, and treat various diseases. He insisted that we will have to do these things in our tribes or let the people suffer or die as they have in the past. We practiced giving vitamin shots to each other, and then, after watching Dr. Bob treat a number of the Indians that came in for help ,

"Don't tip while you zip (my jungle hammock).

we began giving injections and treating them too. Our canoeing class was climaxed by an overnight canoe trip. We paddled downstream for three and one-half hours in the big dugout canoes. The trip downriver was more thrilling than a roller-coaster ride as we went through twenty-seven rapids. The canoe I was in capsized twice and I had to put into practice what I had learned in swimming class-letting the swift current carry me feet first (while I sculled with my hands to keep my head above water) down to calmer waters where I could swim to safety. When we reached our destination, we had

a hearty meal of macaroni cooked in river water, and then we crawled into our jungle hammocks for a night's rest. Jungle hammocks are quite comfortable as they protect one from mosquitoes and gentle rains. However, the rain this night was far from gentle and soon I found myself sleeping in a pool of water! Our return trip took us five hours as we had to pull the 500-pound canoes up over each of the rapids. We arrived home black and blue from being dashed against rocks, but we were thrilled over the experience. Another high spot of our stay at Main Base was our trip to Naja to visit the Lacandon Indians who spear fish, live in stick houses, and worship man-made gods by burning incense in god-pots inside their god houses. The men wear their hair long and unkempt, giving them a "caveman" appear-

To prepare for her mission as a literacy teacher in one of the remote Indian tribes in Guatemala, Coral Mears underwent a three-month survival training pro-

gram in Wycliffe's jungle camp in Southern Mexico. Here she lzarned to cut her own paths through forests, l,nd food and water, prepare her own shelter. The rigorous program included a 26-hour solitary hike through the jungle. She left on a moment's notice-with only a machete.

speak both Spanish and the Indian tongue fluently, not only for discourse with the natives but for the preparation of a primer and other teaching aids. She and one other white woman will live with the tribe, observing and absorbing the natives' customs, folklore and culture, in order to win their confidence. She will receive no salary, not even living expenses.

She will rely on "one of the promises of the Lord-that he will take care of me." And if, as it is said, the Lord helps those who help themselves, Coral Mears should qualify. She had to support herself and, in part, her teen-age son who was graduated from high school the year she received her degree at Westhampton. Now,

ance. Their clothing is a garment that looks like a filthy white nightgown. It took us two days to hike to their village. After we visited the Lacandon Indians, we hiked several more hours to a Tzeltal Indian village where we attended church. Our mission, the Wycliffe Bible Translators, Inc., has already translated the Bible into this language and what a contrast we saw between the two tribes-the one whose members worshipped idols and the other where praises were sung to the one true God. The next day we began our journey home, hiking the entire twenty-five miles of muddy jungle trail in one day. I, for one, asked the Lord for strength and He supplied it. The second six weeks of our training was spent at Advance Base in dense virgin jungle. To reach A.B., we hiked ten hours over a hot, hot trail. At noon we reached a river and sat down in the cool water, clothes and all, to eat our lunch. When we reached our destination I spent a half hour just looking at the beauty and listening to the enchanting sounds of the jungle. Orchids grew in clumps and philodendron climbed nearly every tall tree. Vines of all sizes hung everywhere . The first week at A.B. was physically the hardest of my life. My partner, Jaci Bernhardt, and I had to build our champa (hut) in eight days. We had only a machete as a tool and we had to tie the framework together with vines. The thatch also had to be tied on with vines. But we finished our home and all our furniture in the allotted time. We made our beds, table , and shelves with cane poles and our stove with poles and mud. Several weeks later we were baking cakes, pies, and yeast rolls in a skillet with hot coals in the cover! Our swimming and canoeing classes continued, as well as classes in food preservation and survival. We had to wear machetes, canteens, and survival kits at all times, so when a surprise survival hike was sprung on us, we were ready. We girls were taken on a trip of several hours duration into the jungle and were spread out 100 feet apart so that each of us had to spend twenty-six hours alone and without food. As I had been taught, I quickly built a little shelter and gathered enough firewood to last all night. I built my bed in the shelter by placing cane poles across two logs to keep me off the ground. I found a little stream and tried to catch minnows, but they proved to be too fast for me! I did find a few plants that I knew were safe to eat, so the day wasn't too unbearable. When darkness came, I lit my campfire to keep away any animals that might be nosing around. I had learned, though, that most snakes and an;mals do not molest man unless provoked, so I calmly went to bed, putting myself entirely in the Lord's hands and spent a peaceful night. The next afternoon, when we arrived back at A.B., we let out some very unlady-like whoops! We made two village visits while at A.B. On the first visit Jaci and I were taken by

Dori.a Plascita, an Indian woman, to spend the night in her home in La Trinidad. What an experience! We were served supper consisting of tortillas ( a flat pancake made of corn), beans, and coffee. We had a difficult time eating the beans with no utensils. We had been forewarned that the Indians all live in a one-room hut and that we would all sleep in the same room, so when darkness came and Dori.a Plascita gave us a thin straw mat to place on the mud floor, we were prepared for almost anything except the dozen or so rats which were playing tag in the hut. We decided we would ask the Lord for pro-

tection and have faith He would care for us. J aci announced that she was going to mix faith with works as she placed her machete beside the mat! The domestic animals, which wandered in and out of the hut, insisted on keeping us awake. The dogs barked every hour on the hour while the burro let out with his hideous "hee-haws" at ten, two, and four o'clock I I must admit that it was a sleepless night climaxed by a huge rat land in~ on top of me! I then added an amendment to my prayer asking that the Lord not only protect us from the rats, but also to keep them off our mat. The Lord obliged! The next morning Dona Plascita let us help her make tortillas for our breakfast. As we headed hom eward, we both decided that the night wasn't so bad after all 1 Our second visit was a three-day trip to Agua Escondida, an Indian village near some Mayan ruins. Five of us set out with one horse , one mule . and one pack animal, and, because we had no guide, we had to inquire our way of Indians we m et on the jungle trail. It was a very realistic experience as we had to bargain with the Indians (in our limited Tzeltal) for food and lodgin g. We were slowed by rain and we reache<l Las Tascitas at seven o'clock. There is no twilight in the jungle so it was just about dark. We asked for lodging and were given a hut to sleep in. We bought tortillas and bananas from the Indians, and after supper we were swamped by people coming in for medicine. We gave injections and medicines until 10: 30. No one could possibly come into one of those tribes and see the poverty and illness and not want to dedicate their life to helping the Indians . ( Continued on page 39)

Bulletin As the Alumni Bulletin went to press, the Spiders won their third game of the season and snapped a 14-game East Carolina winning streak by edging the Pirates, 22-20, on Oct. 24 at Greenville, N. C. Richmond tallied 16 points in the first quarter, Ronnie Smith sneaking over from the one for a touchdown following a fumble recovery. Then, after East Carolina had scored on an intercepted pass, the Spiders added two points on a safety. Smith's 49-yard touchdown pass to End John Hilton made it 16-6 at the close of the first period. Kenny Stoudt's 19-yard touchdown run in the second period gave Richmond a 22-6 advantage although Joe Stromick, who had kicked the first two extra points, missed this time. East Carolina tallied just before intermission and again on a 34-yard run by Dave Alexander in the fourth quarter. The Spiders stopped the big fullback short of the goal on the attempted two-point conversion run.

Ed (Sugar) Ralston, president of the club, also announced that the club would honor the "Old Timers," all players who participated on University of Richmond football teams prior to 1920. The teams of 1934 and 1939, which compiled the best grid records in the school's history, were honored at previous banquets. The distinguished service awards are presented to those, not necessarily alumni of the University of Richmond or former athletes, who have contributed to the University's athletic program in various ways. Edwards has been Richmond's city manager since 1954. Previously he served as 20-7.

Alumnus Directs Restoration of Historic Area of

PENN'SGREENE COUNTRIETOWNE by MARK LUTZ, '26 HROUGH Judge Edwin Owen Lewis, '96, the University of Richmond has made a priceless contribution to the renaissance of "America's most historic mile," that area of old Philadelphia which contains such treasures as Independence Hall with the Liberty Bell and Carpenters and Congress Halls. Philadelphia had once been capital of the new nation, its largest city and most important port. Laid out in 1682, its original streets had echoed to the footfalls of Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Madison, Monroe, Marshall and other Founding Fathers . Through the years, however, the priceless historic structures of Penn's "greene Countrie Towne" had become crowded and overshadowed by buildings of no particular architectural significance and its once quiet streets clogged with heavy traffic. Then by 1939 the historic heart of the city was rapidly falling into that decay which affects most downtown sections of large cities as business and residential areas move away. It was at this juncture that Richmondborn Judge Lewis, for forty years prominent in Philadelphia public life, formed a committee to take steps to protect the city's historic buildings from bomb damage in case of a second World War. The work of this committee evolved, under Judge Lewis' direction, into the organization known as Independence Hall Association, which was chartered to protect the historic shrines and to improve their environment. Judge Lewis was chosen president of this Association, which comprised representatives of fifty-two civic organizations . Upon taking the presidency of the Association, Judge Lewis interested the Governor and Legislature of Pennsylvania, the Mayor and City Council of Philadelphia, and the United States Congress in a plan to create two parks in the deteriorating neighborhood of Independence Hall. Their construction would inevitably eliminate the great fire hazard of overcrowded streets lined with many outmoded buildings and bring about the visual re-creation of the Colonial period . The parks are now known as Independence State Mall, which runs northward for several blocks from Independence Square, and Independence National Historic Park to the East. The creation of these parks necessitated the destruction of approximately 220 buildings, most of them undated but with a few massive Victorian structures modernized

and in use by financial institutions. The total cost to the Federal government for the National Park exceeds $18,000,000 and Independence State Mall involves more than $15,000,000. All the land for both projects has been acquired. All the buildings have been demolished. The parks are now realized, although all landscaping has not been fulJy completed. The "historic square mile" of Old Philadelphia has been transformed to much of its original eighteenth century serene beauty. Tourists come to Philadelphia by millions annually to tour the historic area of Independence Mall . Congress Hall has been beautifully restored to look as it did in 1795. Independ ence Hall is being strengthened with steel columns and restored to its original appearance, as is the United States Supreme Court building. Carpenters Hall has always retained its original aspect, being the meeting place of the Carpenters Company, a guild of builders, but where it was once obscured by other buildings it is now surrounded by landscaped gardens. Within walking distance of the Mall are the First and Second Banks of the United States, the First Stock Exchange Building in the country; Christ and St. Peters Episcopal Churches.

By-products of the Independence Mall movement are the removal of the sprawling old wholesale produce markets to a new and ultra-modern setting some miles away; a proposed park-like waterfront along the Delaware, and the already burgeoning restoration of the adjacent Society Hill area to its early residential tranquility. Society Hill, on a slight rise of ground overlooking the Delaware, was developed to house the citizens of the Colonial city. However, it too had fallen into neglect, with its buildings battered and its yards cluttered. To date 250 homes have been or are being restored with an estimated investment of $3,000,000 in private funds. There is a steady trek of suburban dwellers back to the city and into this renewal of a once gracious residential area. Judge Lewis is generally acknowledged to be, more than any other man, responsible for what is known as the Independence Mall Area Improvements. With so much accomplished, small wonder Judge Lewis is considered one of this century's great Philadelphians. In recognition of this he was made recipient of the Philadelphia Award for the year 1962. The Award carried with it a medal and $10,000 in testimonial of his contribution to the city.

(8]

After leaving Richmond College Judge Lewis enrolled in the University of Pennsylvania where, in 1902, he received the LLB. degree. He was that year admitted to the Pennsylvania bar and practiced in Philadelphia until 1923 when he was elected judge of the Court of Common Pleas. Judge Lewis retired from the bench in 1958, at which time he was president judge of Common Pleas Court No. 2. After retirement he joined, as "of counsel," the law firm of Hart, Childs, Hepburn, Ross and Putnam. He _has the distinction of being an uncle of U. S. Senator Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania who was born in Fredericksburg and educated · in Virginia. Judge Lewis served for 29 years as president of the School of Design for Women and of the Moore Institute of Art; as director and president of the Atheneum Library, director of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts; and as vice president of the Pennsylvania Historical Society. He is honorary governor general of the Society of Colonial Wars and honorary general president for life of the General Society of the Sons of the Revolution and of the Pennsylvania Society. Somewhere Judge Lewis has also found time to play an active role in the political and social life of the city.

Memorial Service Pays Tribute to

May L. Keller:a noble woman by MARY GRACE SCHERER TAYLOR, '42 May L. Keller was too busy to keep a diary. But the story of her life is recorded in the many possessions found after her death in attic trunks and desk pigeonholes. Friends, colleagues, students, alumni, and alumnae who joined in paying her tribute at a memorial service held at 4 o'clock, September 27, in Cannon Chapel, stayed to browse through an exhibit of the late dean's memorabilia. President George M . Modlin, presiding at the service, characterized her as "a noble woman and a distinguished educator who, in the long history of the University, stands among those who contributed most to its growth." Mrs. May Thompson Evans, '21, of Washington, a past president of the Westhampton Alumnae Association, in an eloquent tribute to the "little dean," spoke of Miss Keller's "courage, forthrightness, and keen sense of humor" . . . a woman "who stood up for her rights'' and around whom there was "always an eddy of excitement." She was described as a "well-integrated human being, with vivacity of manner." But most of all she was "a mental and moral disciplinarian, who knew the ideals and principles that have made and kept mankind humane. She lived by them, was able to transmit their values to others. She attained what philosophers tell us is life's most difficult goal: to know one's self. What is more, she led college students to know themselves. "

Miss Eleanor Bradshaw, '65 president of Mortar Board, holds a silver candlestick given to Mortar Board by Mrs. May Thompson Evans, '21, to honor the memory of Dean Keller .

Dr. Robert F. Smart, now dean of Richmond College, a friend and colleague of Miss Keller for many years, spoke of her contributions to the civic, religiou s, educational and cultural life of the community, and Mrs. Alice Weber Mansfield of St. Louis, national president of Phi Beta Phi told of Miss Keller's ten years of leadership of that social fraternity for women. The Keller exhibit gave rare insight into the life which spanned 77 years and inspired countless individuals. Selected and arranged from deanery treasures, the souvenirs, ranging from dolls to dissertations, traced the little dean from her forbears to her death, June 28. Keller family keepsakes include mementoes from her chemist father and gifts from a 19th century jet-set uncle whose journeys

possibly whetted the youngster's appetite for adventure. In fact, many, who in later years stood agape at her unique combination of feminine dignity and intrepid daring, were not surprised to learn that she was descended on her mother's side from Maine sea captains, and on her father's from conservative Maryland stock. A monthly report card from the small Baltimore school she attended under the tutelage of a relative of General Lee shows a perfect score of 10 on all subjects, including one general category of "Co mmon Things and Poetry ." A large trunk reveals that her life as a littl e girl was not all "ethics and etymology." Dolls with wax faces and kid hands boast an abundant supply of handmade clothes .

I THE ART OF THANKSGIVING I Many persons have tried with varying degrees of success to express their affection for the University of Richmond. Few have done this as well as A. W. Goode, ·42, president of the Alumni Society, in the concluding remarks of his welcome to the freshman class of Richmond College. "Many things about this University have changed," he said, "since my college days. But in reality, time has not brought basic change. The history of the university is one of constancy in the important realms of tradition and ideals. "When you leave this campus you will leave it with the same feeling of love that those before you felt-and for the same reasons. No student has ever paid to the university while in school the full cost of his education. You will realize that you can never fully repay her, financially or in service for all ,that she has given you, but you will want to do your best. "You will want to put gratitude into action. As Wilfred Peterson has said, 'The Art of Thanksgiving is Thanksliving !' "Gentlemen, I love this university not alone for what she taught me but how she taught me. I love her not alone for the opportunities she gave me, but for the opportunities she made me see. I love her not alone for the friendships she developed here, but for the kind of friendships . I love her for these and many reasons more-and so will you!"

Keller (Continued from page 9)

collection of carefully crafted furniture embellished with needlework finery. Tucked away in one of the miniature drawers is a clipping from a Baltimore newspaper . It is a letter from May L. Keller, age 8, which was sent with a contribution of 25 cents to help educate the Indians. A typewritten speech, delivered on the occasion of her graduation from the Girls' Latin School, is entitled: "Possunt Quia Posse Videntur" or "We Are Able Because We Seem To Be." With that motivation, she entered Goucher College at the age of 16 and her graduation portrait is visual proof of her achievement. Souvenirs from the next decade show that the young lady was indiscreet enough to insist on graduate courses, even though females were admitted to such seminars only on the condition that they remain safely hidden from gentlemen by curtains . It was at the University of Chicago, she noted in a biographical sketch, that a Middle German professor inquired whether it was necessary for her to earn a living. Her negative reply brought forth his exclamatory admonition that she "stop and get married ." Undaunted, she sailed for Germany at the turn of the century as witnessed by her passport which describes her face as "round with dimple in right cheek." Theater and opera programs, a rug with dancing Cossacks, and other travel keepsakes verify that all of her days in Berlin and Heidelberg were not spent studying. A 1904 doctorate diploma, magna ct,m laude, and a book entitled Anglo-Saxon Weapon Names, Etymologically and Archeo/ogically Treated, published in 1906 under her authorship, are convincing conclusion, to the real purpose of her adventure . An account of her "Doctorschmauch," a celebration traditionally given by the new Ph .D. for friends, relates that custom, in her case, was reversed. As she was the only woman doctor, her male colleagues honored her. Amidst beer steins and sabres, the tiny Baltimore lass was hoisted-chair and all-and borne aloft about the candlelit room. The next era of her life took her to Wells College, to Goucher, and to Westhampton in 1914. No doubt, hundreds of students who arrived on the campus during the next 32 years were convinced that their dean devoted all waking hours to schedules and examinations for weary pupils. The exhibit dispels such a ,theory . Books in ancient English, worn grammars in Hungarian and Chinese, chic costumes and satin slippers, travel reminders, and numerous citations and clippings recall that Miss Keller 's energy and genius was not confined to the campus. Astride a mule she explored the Tennessee hills to discover a site for the Gatlinburg Settlement; concerned about the rehabilitation of inmates of State Woman's Farm, she pioneered and engineered the Elizabeth Kates Foundation . Cancer named her "The

[19]

Volunteer We Could Least Do Without." Hadassah made her an honorary member . In recognition of her frequent lectures on Shakespeare, an admirer gave a memorial library shelf at Stratford on Avon. Vocational education, Christian brotherhood, AAUW, YWCA, Altrusa, Phi Beta Kappa, Baptist affairs-all gained from her leadership and dedication. A manuscript on yellow scratch paper is final evidence that the teen-age girl who vowed not "to stop at anything" meant what she wrote . It is the translation of the early Estonian epic, the Kalevipoeg . In the way of true scholars, she set it aside, determined to verify her work by a visit to Estonia. She died before she could fulfill this commitment. But her influence did not end in June . For each of the several hundred persons who attended the memorial service was there to pay her a personal tribute . May Thompson Evans spoke for all these friends and admirers when she stated: "The rare experience of establishing at age 37 an institution of the highest standards; of building it through three decades, and of remaining a vital influence through its 50th year, could come only to the strong." Concluding her remarks, Dr. Evans presented to Eleanor Mills Bradshaw, current Mortar Board president, a silver candlestick which bears an inscription from Chaucer: "Full wise is he that can himselven knowe ." The gift is to be passed on to succeeding chapters, "in the hope that Mortar Board leadership wilJ ever seek to inculcate in Westhampton students, those enlightened and sustaining qualities bequeathed to us by our first dean." Small wonder that May L. Keller was too busy to keep a diary. Instead, her bequest was a flame! (The memorabilia will be housed permanently in Keller Hal] as soon as a room in that building can be freed for this purpose, following the construction of the Fine Arts building. Meanwhile, an interim location for part of the exhibit has been provided in Keller Hall.)

the area in Quarterback Ronnie Smith and End John Hilton. At the midway mark in the season, the 6-4, 220-pound Smith had completed 59 of 115 passes for 638 yards and four touchdowns . All four of the TD tosses were to the 6-5 Hilton, who had 20 catches for 293 yards. In the Davidson game Hilton, who like Smith is a Richmonder, broke a school record by grabbing nine passes (he held the record jointly with Bob Coolbaugh at eight) for 147 yards (the old record was 138). The victory over V .M.I. was especially a sweet one for the Spiders for it was their first over the pesky Keydets since 1954 although the two rivals had played to a pair of ties during the past 10 years.

Merrick not only was concerned about the Keydets but also about injuries sustained in the opener with West Virginia as his Spiders ran on the field for the game with V.M.I. Hilton had injured an ankle in practice that week and All-Southern Halfback Kenny Stoudt was on the sidelines with a sprained foot sustained in the West Virginia contest. Furthermore, Ends Pete Emelianchik and Kirk Kressler also were ailing and were to see only limited action. However, the Spiders jumped to an early 12-0 lead. Halfback Warren Hayes smacked through the line for the first touchdown and then Smith, having his greatest day with 15 completions in 17 attempts, connected with Hilton, who made a leaping catch, in the end zone on a 31-yard TD pitch. The Keydets, however, made it 12-7 at intermission when Quarterback Charlie Snead passed seven yards to End Dan Phlegar and Rick Parker booted the extra point. V.M.I. took the lead in the third period, 14-12, when Richmond gambled on a fourth-downand-one-yard-to-go situation on its own 30yard line and failed. The Keydets took advantage of that failure, scoring on a 23-yard TD run by Fullback Granville Amos. However, it was evident that the Spiders "wanted this one." Again it was a Smith to Hilton toss, this time for six yards, that did the damage and Hayes passed to Halfback Norris Aldridge for the two-pointer and the six-point spread over the Keydets. With Smith completing 14 of 25 for 164 yards and Hilton setting records, the Spiders put 20 points on the scoreboard against Davidson before the Wildcats tallied. Halted in the first period by a fumble, Richmond made it 7-0 at intermission when Smith passed 21 yards to Hilton after recovering a Wildcat fumble. Joe Stromick kicked the extra point. Richmond, aided by a penalty and the running of Pete Britton and Don Matthews, rolled 74 yards for a score in the third period with Halfback Ronnie Grubbs carrying the final two yards and Stromick again adding the extra point. The Spiders paraded 67 yards in the fourth period with a 20-yard pass to Hilton keeping the drive going and a 30-yarder accounting for the touchdown. Less than a minute remained in the game when Davidson tallied on a 15-yard pass from Steve Heckard to Renn Guber. The Spider line did well against the Wildcats although starting Tackle Dick Hodsdon, Guard Larry Pew, Ends Bob Ring and Ed Kulla£ missed the contest with injuries and !ackle Bob Andrews saw very limited service. It was a breakdown in the secondary that hurt most against West Virginia . The Mountaineers scored on a 61-yard pass play from Quarterback Ed Pastilong to Homer Criddle on the third play of the game to take a 6-0 lead . Smith's passes to Hilton set up a 25yard field goal by Richmond Sophomore Lou Flaim, but West Virginia came back to make it 12-3, a Pastilong to Bob Dunlevy toss setting up the score from the one. Smith sneaked over to cap a 73-yard ad-

vance and chop the margin to 12-10. Richmond made a great effort and stopped West Virginia on the one-yard line in the third period, but Pastilong connected with Dunlevy on a fourth-down pass good for 14 yards to the Spider five in the fourth quarter to set up the final West Virginia touchdown. The Spiders made only two defensive mistakes against Southern Mississippi, allowing USM Quarterback Vic Purvis to break loose on 79 and 34 yards scoring runs, but they were enough to whip the Spiders. Richmond's touchdown came on a 67-yard run by Stromick after intercepting a pass. Nothing went right for the Spiders in

their loss to The Citadel. Stoudt broke loose on an apparent 73 yards TD run after taking a pass from Smith only to have a clipping penalty nullify the score. The Bulldogs led, 14-0, at the time and that play, just seconds before the half, seemed to take the wind out of the Spiders. Several short punts put The Citadel in position for its first score, Ed Brewster cracking over from the two. Another short punt hurt Richmond as the Citadel scored again in the first period, Quarterback John Breedlove passing 30 yards to Jim Parker for the TD. (Continued on page 39)

The trip included London, all the capitals of Europe; also, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Israel, Athens and Istanbul. She was fortunate in being able to interview people on the religious and social conditions in each place , reporting that when English was not understood, German usually was. One of the highlights of the trip was the three-day visit with her many friends in Lucerne, Switzerland, where at Klinik St. Anna she was recuperating from a broken leg for three months in 1962.

Then I have dropped in on Elizabeth Tompkins many times. She has the St. Francis that we gave her in her garden and she asked me to thank the class for it.

House To Be Continued As Deanery Miss Keller, Dean Emerita of W esthampton College, died on June 28 , 1964. In her will Miss Keller very generously bequeathed her home on the campus to the University without cost if it were converted into a lodge for the occupancy and use of the Westhampton College Alumnae Association. Otherwise, under the terms of the will the University would purchase the house at the cost price, and the proceeds, plus other assets in Miss Keller's estate, would be placed in a trust fund, the income from which would be paid annually to Miss Pauline Turnbull, who was Miss Keller's closest friend and companion through the years. At Miss Turnbull's death the trust fund would go to Goucher College, Miss Keller 's Alma Mater , as a memorial to her parents. So she could arrange her future plans, Miss Turnbull requested that the University Trustees make the decision as promptly as possible. On July 22 the Executive Committee of the Westhampton College Alumnae Association met in Miss Keller's home to consider the matter. Devoting the entire day to a discussion of every aspect of the question, the Committee presented its findings in a communication to the University Trustees. Because the decision to accept or reject the terms of Miss Keller 's will rested solely in the hands of the Trustees, the Alumnae Executive Committe e helpfully presented both the advantages and disadvantages of using the deanery as an alumnae lodge and made no recommendation . The Executive Committee of the University's Board of Trustees, having full authority, held a special meeting on August 4

to consider the matter . Althou gh the Tru stees were most appreciative of Miss Keller 's generous offer and were very reluctant to reject it, they decided that , despite the advantages of an alumnae lodge, ther e were convincing reasons why the house could not be accepted under the restrictive provisions of the will. According to the terms of the contra ct between Miss Keller and the University when the house was constructed in 1925, it could at Miss Keller's death be sold only to the University at the cost price. The Tru stees have the responsibility of determinin g the future use of the house. Th e residence is needed primarily as a home for the new Dean of Westhampton to be appointed by next session. It was built as a residence and is not suited to serve adequately the varied functions of an alumnae lodge. An alumn ae committee composed of two Truste es, Miss Elizabeth Tompkins and Mrs. G. Mallory Freeman, and the President of the W esthampton Alumnae Association, Mrs . Beecher E. Stallard, is assisting in securing the new Dean. Through the generosity of Miss Turnbull a large number of mementoes and articles belonging to Miss Keller and relating to her life have been made available to the alumn ae and will be preserved and placed on permanent exhibit in Keller Hall. In this way succeeding generations of Westh ampton students will be able to appreciat e to some degree the outstanding contributions of this remarkable woman to the founding, the progress , and the strength of W esthampt on College.

tinguishecl Alumnae Awards. Highlights of a brief tour of the campus were "Fanny G.'s" swimming pool and the redecorated Blue Room -each beautiful in its own way. At the luncheon we penned brief round-robin letters to Elizabeth Hale in Malaya, Helen Orpin Wenzel who was unable to be with us due to illness, and Madalyn Freund Bente in appreciation of a wonderfully newsy letter and also Madalyn's contribution five years ago of compiling a class directory. Prepare now to see a rejuvenated, remodeled, redecorated Madalyn at our next reunion . She has at last realized her ambition, she wrote, to be a blue-eyed blonde. Her golden tresses were easily come by, and the blue eyes were picked up on an after-Christmas bargain table--two sets of contact lenses for the price of one, one blue and one brown. As for those present and accounted for, as of June, Clare and Virginia probably have changed the least in appearance--not a gray hair or a wrinkle. Jirnmie--who acquired her fourth grandchild in July----ancl Rosalie still have school-girl figures, and Rosalie can still spout English history dates, math theorems and physics formulas as if she had just finished cramming for her finals. The years serve only to enhance Helen's outward charm and loveliness, which, as we all know, reflects her inner beauty. Prudy still bubbles and Mary giggles as of yore. Violet and Nat are lovely matrons, and Tom is a modest retired professor-turned author. Louise will forever cherish, I'm sure, Fanny G.'s salutation, "You can't be Louise Hardaway-you're too young." She scored a second time during the weekend when a young swain who called Louise's daughter, Meade, for a date, asked, "Do you still look as young as your mother?" Now, you see what the rest of you missedthe fun of viewing and being viewed through rose-colored glasses among other by-products and bonanzas of Westhampton's fiftieth and our own thirty-fifth. Just to be sure that we keep on keeping in touch, we suggest that between now and the New Year each member write to Clare (Mrs. Hampton H. Wayt, Jr., 4804 Rodney Road, Richmond), and send her some news for the next issue of the bulletin.

Looking and feeling somewhat less like "the old gray mare" ("she ain't what she used to be") than one might expect after 35 years, 12 members of the Class of '29 returned to Westhampton in June to marvel anew at the strength of Westhampton friendships, the joy of remembrance and reminiscing, the beauty of the pineclad, towered hills, and the inevitable tug at the heartstrings that is a mixture of pride and loyalty and hope and faith and love and sentiment for old, dear, familiar things. On Friday night, our six "Richmond girls"Mary Richardson Butterworth, Clare Johnson Wayt, Jimmie Stuessy Mattox, Virginia Perkins Yeaman, Helen Moon and Violet Cevarich Simpson-were hostesses at a sumptuous dinner party served on Mary's delightful back porch. Others making up the dozen '29ers present were Tom Rudd, Louise Hardaway Boswell, Rosalie Gore Hinson, Thelma Pruden Stanton, Natalie Evans Sanford and I. Adding immensely to the fun of the dinner party were two special guests-Miss Virginia Withers, '29's class sponsor, and Miss Emily Brown, our speech and dramatics instructor. Mary's younger daughter, Renny, also was there, adding a touch of glamor, youth and beauty. Renny spent July and August in Europe and has since returnee! to Randolph-Macon Woman's College where she is a senior and holds a high office in Student Government. For most of us, it was our first visit with Miss Withers since the famous party she and Miss Scott gave Jor us at our tenth reunion in 1939. Proving that her memory is much better than ours, Miss Withers brought along with her a plate from a tea set we ('29) had given her 35 or more years ago and related several amusing incidents in the tea set's checkered career. Miss Brown, forever young and lovely, was her usual charming self. She prof essed to be flattered when we recalled some of her favorite lines that we called upon, in days of yore, to declaim in her speech class. We, in turn, were flattered that Miss Brown accepted the invitation to dine with us. It was our good fortune that '29's invitation was the first of several she received. After dinner, we attendee! skits depicting Westhampton's first 50 years, held in the college garden. We were saclclenecl by Miss Keller's feeble appearance and were grieved but not surprised to learn of her death a few weeks later. On Saturday we attended the 50th Anniversary symposium in Cannon Chapel, on "The Role of Women Today," and the Alumnae Luncheon. We were tremendously impressed with the varied achievements of the eleven graduates of Westhampton's first decade who received Dis-

Wish more of you would write me as Margaret Billings Sentz did in June. It was such a newsy letter I'm sure you will appreciate it too. "Now I am going to tell you about my two sons, since I feel they have come to a "milestone" in their lives. Gene, now 23, was graduated from the School of Forestry at W. Va. University in January (with honors). He was able to place on the Dean's list each year. He was recipient of the KDKA agricultural scholarship for his senior year and was honored by membership in the following honorary scholastic fraternities: Phi Epsilon Phi, Gamma Sigma Delta, Xi Sigma Pi, Alpha Zeta, and received the senior award for highest scholastic rating in the School of Forestry.

VAN HEUVELN (Frances Lundin) 3905 Midlothian Pike Richmond, Virginia till the Hello again! We're substituting new secretary can begin and will start off with a correction in the notes from the last Bulletin. Had a phone call from Frances Folkes Duncan when she was vacationing in Richmond. Her favorite hobby is raising Maltese dogs, not cats. While in Virginia Frances saw Katherine Bell here and Elizabeth Claybrook Bristow in Urbanna. Two others have made enjoyable trips. Helen Hulcher visited Miami Beach, Florida and Frances Gee went to West Virginia. There she spent a restful week at Capon Springs, a friendly, historic resort over 300 years old.

She serves as organist for a Lutheran church while working on her Doctor's degree in Organ Music at the Peabody Conservatory. Those of our class who attended the memorial service on September 27th honoring Miss Keller were Frances Gee, Ammye Hill, Elizabeth Henderson and myself. Afterwards we saw the Memorabilia exhibited in the reception room. Altogether it was an impressive tribute to our first Dean.

Estelle Veazey Jones and Stella flew in from California for a stay with her brother and the Joe Nettles family. Estelle 's lovely daughter, Stella, is a freshman at Willamette University in Oregon. Stella and Cheryl, Lola Williams Pierce's daughter, enjoyed talking about their mutual interest, dramatics. Lola 's son, R.

It is located in northwest Scotland. I did not know before this trip how lovely this part of Scotland could be. We have a car and are enjoying this mode of travel very much. On Saturday we go to Ireland, but it will be hard for any place to come up to what we have seen here. Coming home September 30." Connie Vaden Moore accepted a threemonths' position with the Chesterfield County Schools. Sue Whittet Wilson's son is now in training for assignment to foreign service by the State Department .

1937 Secretary Mrss PoLLYANNA SHEPHERD 1053 Naval Avenue Portsmouth, Virginia I was quite disappointed not to see anyone else from the Class of '37 at the meeting, luncheon or banquet on Alumnae Day. Perhaps some of you were there for the activities on Friday. It was a glorious occasion when Westhampton celebrated her Fiftieth Anniversary, and I thoroughly enjoyed the program. While I was in Richmond in June, I heard that Tom Pettigrew, Jr., son of Tom and Nancy Chappell Pettigrew, had graduated from V.P.I. and was to be married to Carolyn Saunders of Richmond on June 20th. Our congratulations go to "Pepper" McFall, daughter of Lyle and Nancy Lee Riley McFall, who was married to Stephen Blankinship on August 22nd.

(Emma Lou Parsons) 6406 Monument Ave. Richmond, Va. 23226 Remember the excitement of starting your freshman year at college? I can tell rou of three of our children who are experiencing this now. There are probably more, but I haven't been so informed. Bob, son of George and Anne Ellis Harrison, has entered the University of Richmond . We welcome him to Alma Mater. Betsy, daughter of Bill and Janet Gresham Manson, has matriculated at Averett Junior College, Danville, Va . Tony and Dell Williams Smith's daughter, Mabs, begins her studies at Mary Baldwin College . Dell had another interesting note . She is vice-president of the new Richmond Public Forum, which last year brought four outstanding speakers to Richmond. Plans are in progress for a similar program this year . Lucy Baird kindly passed on to me a letter from Emerson and Alice McElroy Smith. Emerson has accepted the pastorate of the Cramerton Presbyterian Church and their new address is: Presbyterian Manse, Cramerton, N. C. In spite of the heartache of leaving Foley, Ala ., where they have served for eight years, they all were eager for the adventure of a new place . Alice has extended an open invitation for visitors . Cramerton is between Charlotte and Gastonia, and you can't miss the Presbyterian Church. A lost sheep has returned to the fold . Through Mary Moline Grubbs, I can give you the address of Georgie Philpott Ingram. She, husband Frank, and four children have a lovely home in Thomasville, N . C. Mary has a new home, too . It's quite rural, horses even . Believe it or not, Mary is terrified of horses, but the children, of course, are delighted . Her address is: Mrs. Dallas W. Grubbs, Rt. 2, Box 239B, Mechanicsville, Va. A note or card would be appreciated by Annabel Lumpkin Hessel, who is in Portsmouth Naval Hospital, Portsmouth, Va., making progress after surgery. Annabel's husband, "Red" (E . W.), is a Captain in the Navy and serves as the Admiral's Chief of Staff aboard the Enterprise. Our sincere wishes for continued progress go to Annabel. Among the visitors to the World's Fair have been Kitty Lyle and Janet Gresham Manson and family. My family was saddened by the loss of both of my parents this summer. Mother, who had been ill for five years, died on July 1, and my father followed suddenly on July 7. The prayers and thoughts of many of you gave us strength to face a trying time. Several of the Forties have told me I should have given you another personal note. A little over a year ago I contracted multiple sclerosis. It 's an up and down business, but so far I haven't been too far down. I owe much gratitude to several of you for your faithfulness in providing transportation to physical therapy and the joy of your company. Several of us had a most pleasant morning late in August. Marie Keyser Jordan was in town and her sister-in-law had a coffee for her. The Forties I saw were: Mary Grubbs, Connie Attkisson Holloway, Millie Gustafson Donohue, Helen Smith Moss, Maude Smith Jurgens, Saddye Sykes Williams, Dell Williams Smith, Bobby Winfrey Cannon, Kitty Lyle, and Harriet Yeamans Mercer. Marie was making a solo visit home, having left the boys in California with Tohn. It was grand seeing everyone . Can you imagine the tongue wagging?

(Barbara Eckles) 2329 Farrand Drive Richmond, Va. Summer has taken some of our class family a-travelling in many directions. From Brazil came a letter written while Jo Fennell Pacheco was visiting with Armando's family. He and the boys went down ahead of Jo and Anita, their daughter. "I was not sure that I could manage changing planes in Rio and Sao Paulo, " she said, "and going through customs, for my Portuguese is really quite weak. I managed very well, considering that none of the customs officials spoke English. "Curitiba is south of Sao Paulo, and in the winter it gets quite cold-cold enough for frost-there is no heat in the housesnot even a fireplace-and as I write (July) my hands are so cold I can barely hold a pen . .. . But the sun gets warm in the middle of the day, and then we all migrate to the garden ." Jo continues, "My children are trying to teach their Brazilian cousins American football, using a soccer ball and not knowing how to speak Portuguese .... I like Santos better than any other place in Brazil, and the children can't wait to get to the beaches at Santos and Copacabana ." Virginia Lee Ball Glover wins the merit award for being my most faithful correspondent. She's had two hospitali zations for surgery this summer, and was rapidly recuperating when I heard from her. The three children were visiting grandparents at the beach. The Glover's new address is 3633 Arbor Way, Charlotte, N . C. Virginia Lee enclosed a letter from Tinsy Garrett Buckler, whose family had been visiting her for several months. She's been working three days a week as Director of the Volunteer Bureau for Harbor-South Bay Area . Tinsy adds, "We will have been here three years this September . We expect to be here through next February, as Phil is presently engaged in obtaining his Master's from USC. He also completes 23 years in the Army this September; so we are thinking of retirement .. .. We like it here (San Pedro, Calif.) except for the fact it's so far from my family, who still live in Blackstone ." Tinsy was expecting a visit from Patsy Garrett Kokinacis, who lives in Northridge, California. Tinsy also planned to come East for a month in September, and was hoping to visit Margaret Brittingham Curtice in Santa Barbara . Mayme O'Flaherty Stone called with numerous items of interesting news. She herself attended the Massanetta Bible Conference and Music Workshop during the summer and saw Alice Evans, Teeny's sister-learned that Teeny is now teaching, and that her husband, Bristow Hardin, Jr ., is energetically combining his job as school principal in Roanoke with his devotion to dramatics and his Episcopal Church. We all join in extending loving thoughts to Its Holden Slipek and her family in the death of Ed's only brother . The Slipeks have been renovating the interior of their house, Ed doing most of it himself . Their daughter, Betty Tabb, has been achieving great strides in math.

Margaret Forrer Wren and her daughter Bryan were at our Fiftieth Anniversary celebration. Greg, her older daughter , has been studying at the American University in Paris. The whole family went over to visit her. Everything seems to be going beautifully for the Wrens. Mayme, her mother and her sister-in-law, Barbara O'Flaherty, presented a program depicting the history of our college at the Anniversary. Toni Wirth Whittet also took part, as did Henrietta Sadler Kinman. They will always remember Miss Keller portraying the Spirit of Westhampton. Jean Neasmith Dickinson discharged her "in charge" responsibilities admirably; others attending included Phyllis Anne Coghill Brown, Charlotte Dudley Petteson, Its Slipek and her daughter, Anna Marie Rue Stringfellow and her daughter . We are happy about the part our classmates took in the planning and the consummation of this significant event. Rue took a group of Girl Scouts to New York to the World's Fair. Toni and her family spent two months in Europe. Connie, the older daughter, travelled abroad with a group, meeting her family later for further travel. Toni, Mac and the other two children-Elizabeth and Robert-flew over, bought a car and toured England and other countries. Mac returned earlier than the rest of the family, who probably had plenty to recount to him when they were reunited. Henrietta, after summer school, went with her family to the Fair. She had a grant to tour several states doing research regarding New England authors. They visited the Humberts in their summer house in New Hampshire. Mary Alice Smith Tillotson has moved with her family from Lynchburg to Williamsburg, where husband Rex has joined Mason and Company, a firm of investment brokers. Mrs. Smith tells me they have a lovely big house outside of town towards Jamestown and are very happy there. The Tillotsons spent the summer on the Rappahannock River, entertaining assorted friends and relatives. Jeanne Huffman Waite came to see me one afternoon, bringing with her Carole and Tommy . All three were good to look at and listen to . Those of us who knew and loved Dr. Frank Riley are sad to think we'll not see him again this side of heaven, but surely he's content there. We want Mrs. Riley and Betty Riley Johnson to know of our love and sympathy. 1942 Secretary MRS.

CLINE

(Esther Wendling) 6933 Greentree Drive Falls Church, Virginia Kay Crutchfield had a busy but fun-filled summer. Since Captain Bob and his ship the Dale were in San Diego, she and their three children joined him. Not all at once mind you. Wanda, their younger daughter (a senior in high school this fall) represented Virginia Beach at Girls State held on the Radford campus in June. She discovered that over 85% of the hi~h school "leaders" have Westhampton as their first college choice. The Dale was in the shipyard at Long Beach for a more extended stay than planned-and the Crutchfields, too, were flexible. They managed to see all the exciting and interesting places from Long Beach down to Mexico and up around the San Francisco Bay area. Kay had her navywife duties, of course, coffees, teas and luncheons. Bob took over temporary command of the squadron, so a few other "female duties" fell her way. Pam, their older daughter (a freshman at Mary Washington now) had saved her money for a Hawaiian holiday. For a part of her stay she was the guest of Frances (Kennard) and Bob Wolf. They are living in quarters

on Ford Island. Needless to say this was a cloud of experience for Pam. By Labor Day the Crutchfields were flying back East, all but Bob--he will be relieved around the early part of December. Home for Christmas. Another traveler is Lila Hunt. The leading character is Lila, the driver (over 10,000 miles) and her two passengers-Sara (13) and a girl friend of Sara's. They drove to Washington, D. C. via the Grand Canyon and Santa Fe. Raison d'etre of this adventure was to meet Charlie (11) on his return from Germany. He'd been living with friends there. Sightseeing 95% of the time, they "did" the nation's capital and then on to Richmond. Lila had a nice "old tim es sake" visit at Westhampton. Behind the old dorm Lila had a visit with Harriet Byrider and D ee Dee Kirk. Harriet had just moved into a new larger home the day before. Of course, there is never enough time to visit everyone, so they began their Southern tour-down as far as New Orleans and back-visiting as many kin folks as possible. They spent two days with Lila's sister Kitty in Oak Hill, West Virginia . While en route Lila's husband called telling her that they'd had a terrific offer for their house in Berkeley and how about selling it? That was August 8th. Occupancy was needed September 1st. You guessed it-Lila agreed to sell and straightway headed her sightseers West. Good thing John (16) and his dad were home. They bought an "old barn" up the street (239 The Uplands) and moved in. Lila says they've begun to remodel the kitchen and are living out of boxes. Thev are covered with plaster, dust, cook on a Coleman stove and barbecue in the garage ! John, their summer-stay-at-home, has come East now to be a junior at Fork Union Military Academy. Marjorie Wilson Glick and her family have moved from Falls Church to the Seminary area of Alexandria, 1304 Trinity Drive. In our supermarket that, Marjorie spoke of their 17year-old daughter and 7-year -old son. Jean (Miller) Yeiser and Harry were our guests this summer. We had a wonderfully relaxing week at home here on our beach. Beside swimming we've added a sailfishthis appeals to all Navy types (like the Yeisers). Jean still sounds like North Carolina after years up North. B. G ., Langley and I had the pleasure of meeting Jute Hoyt's boy John (16) at Dulles Airport. He was bound from California to Emporia for the summer. Imagine being able to combine a visit with his grandparents, the Parkers, and a summer job as life guard. He favored Jute in looks and polite manner, and even the suitcase! Why doesn't someone open a transcontinental travel agency? Our class alone could support it. It would be nice to here from you Rich-

mond gals, as well as the others of you scattered in the U. S. and abroad. Do drop me a few pages on your doings and your children's whereabouts. 1943 Secretary MRS.

(Barbara Lewis) 224 Westwood Road Annapolis, Maryland 21401 One of the pleasant things about living in Annapolis is the chance of old friends want• ing to show the Naval Academy to their children and of our gaining a visit thereby. Carolyn Babb Heflin, Bill, and family stopped by after a week at Ocean City, Maryland. Daughter Anne Carolyn won a scholarship to W. C., received the DAR Good Citizenship Award from Princess Anne High School, and was 1964 Lotus Queen at the Cavalier Beach and Cabana Club. Mary Elder Pauli and family have moved to Athens where Ed is the executive officer for U.S.I.A. in Greece for three years. Carol, our class baby, is a junior at W. C. Mary's address is U.S.I.S., APO 223, New York, N. Y. Puff Poteat Humbert and daughter Susie spent the summer at their New Hampshire home, where Dick and Priscilla Anne joined them after summer school. The girls won their tennis divisions for the third straight year. Millie Cox Goode, Skee, and girls and Betty Ann Petzinger Shackelford, George, and son had a gay get-together in N . H. with the Humberts. Joining the working world is Peggy Jeanne Kyle Anderton. She is with Manpower (office work), and daughter Donna is a sophomore at Randolph-Macon. Pam Carpenter Henry and children visited in Virginia this summer from Georgia, while Fay Carpenter Kirchman and family went to Michigan. Unrecorded here until now is the birth in May, 1963, of Evan David Evans to Barbara Krug Evans and Evan, their fifth child. Mickey Allman Cage spent last summer at the U. of Va. learning the modern approach to math in conjunction with her teaching . Mary Jean Shelby Proctor's husband just finished a six-weeks' hospital stay after a severe coronary. Here's to a speedy recovery . She is with N. C. State Government in Personnel. Lowaita Rowland Martin is the grandmother of two! Are there any other grandmothers in '43? She and her family were in Japan and Oklahoma where she taught private music lessons, and now her husband has retired from the A. F. and is with Litton Industries in Canoga Park, California, where they have bought a house at 22401 Burton Street . Their oldest daughter is married to an A. F. man

and has two children. Their second daughter is a scholarship student at the U. of Cal. at Santa Barbara. Two boys are at home. Note another change of address. Ann Chambliss Surber and family have moved to 705 Ridgelawn Place, Tullahoma, Tennessee, where Bill is with the paper and Ann is in a department store as cashier and bookkeeper. Their Kim is a freshman at Belmont in Nashville . 1944 Secretary MRS. GLADSTONE HILL (Dorothy Monroe) 124 Duke Drive Portsmouth, Va. Bible School, swimming lessons, family vacations, getting children to and from camp, getting settled in school-who said summer was an easy time? I'm sure many of you share my sentiments. I expect many of you visited the Fair this summer. Mary Graham and her family had a unique trip by boat. They docked at the World's Fair Marina and had no traffic or parking problems like the rest of us peons. The Grahams also made several trips to Va. Beach by boat. Over the 4th of July they ran into Marty Mercer Oast and family who were docked at the Cavalier Yacht Club. The Oasts have since bought a new boat, but Marty hastens to add "it's still not as big as the Grahams'." Incidentally, Mary 's street address has been changed from 8015 Maple to 8015 Carriage Lane. Lois and Walter North spent six weeks in Newark, Delaware where Walter taught a summer ~ession at the University of Delaware. I chatted with her while visiting my brother in Newark. They were much concerned lest Walter catch mumps from Betsy. Luckily all went well and Walter finished his . classes with no complications. Gene Keever and family moved in early September to 303 Norman Rd . Now she's just a block and a half from me. George tells me that Kay lost her mother last winter and made a hurried trip from Hawaii to Wash., D. C. and back. Our deepest sympathy, Kay. Gene also visited Doris and Frank Neal while they were vacationing at the beach this summer. Gloria Robertson is the smartest one! This summer she worked on her Master's degree at William and Mary and now is working four days a week as school psychologist in Portsmouth. In the past year Gloria has been to Johns Hopkins and Columbia University Hospitals for diagnosis of a rare eye disease. She faces a possible corneal transplant, but as the condition is for the moment dormant, they are playing a "wait and see game." We certainly hope it stays that way. Ann Filer is slowly recovering from a long siege of illness which resulted in surgery.

We are glad to know that she is better, and hope she continues to improve. I was so pleased to see Ann and Walt Sheaffer in Lynchburg when we took Fleet to school. Ann looks just grand. Garland is rooming down the hall from Fleet in a brand new dorm. Even though they had never met before I think they had a good feeeling that they had some common tie. Ann and Walt were going to spend a few days in Bowling Green before they returned to Ft. Madison. Many of you know of the tragic plane crash that claimed the life of Jinx Thompson Paarfus and four others early in July. The plane crashed during an early morning takeoff in Martinsville, Va . Those of us who had been with her at the reunion remember how enthusiastic she was about all her activities, especially her flying. Besides her husband she leaves four children. Since this marks the fourth member of our class we have lost (Alison Cooper, Nancy Masters, Edith Boehling, and Jinx) there have been many suggestions that we in some way memorialize these and any future deaths. The most feasible idea seems to be that we establish a Memorial shelf in the Reading Room and place a volume in memory of any member of our class who passes away. Ann Stansbury is going to check with the proper authorities and we 'll have further information on this in the next issue. Please let me hear from you before Dec. l so I'll have some news for the next issue. I can't pass on what I don't know! 1946 Secretary MRS. DAVID0 . GOODE , JR. (Frances Anne Beale) 5430 Dorchester Road Richmond, Virginia With this issue of the Bulletin, I assume the responsibility of YOUR news correspondent. Please inform your group chairman or me directly of all pertinent news concerning the class of '46. With this cooperation, I then trust I shall be able to record "our" news just as faithfully as Elizabeth Thompson Schmidt has done for the past two years. Our appreciation to you, Libby, for a job well done! Our class was saddened this summer when one of our members, Anne Harris (Mrs. Robert L. Wood), passed away on August 13. She lived at the time of her death in Goochland, Virginia and is survived by her husband, Bob, a minister, and three children. We regret to report that Virginia Gibson Stewart's husband, Frank, died suddenly August 3. To Virginia and their nine-year-old daughter, we extend our sympathy. The class of '46 is now well represented on the teaching staff of the School of Pharmacy, Medical College of Virginia.

Hickerson Dalton, a former part-time instructor in this same school, has returned to the fulltime domestic scene for the time being and at the writing of this letter was anticipating attending the forthcoming American Institute of CPA's convention at Miami Beach with her husband. In the summer I enjoyed a personal visit with Bev Ryland who had just returned from a tour of northern Europe. She enjoyed the Scandinavian countryside and people very much! Bev is presently a teacher of Spanish in an Alexandria, Virginia high school. Until our next issue and, I hope, another news letter, please keep in mind that we want to hear from you. News items now will make our 20th reunion "chit chat" so much more up-to-date! 1947 Secretary MRs. JoHN C. HORIGAN(Mildred Daffron) 4636 Stuart Avenue Richmond, Virginia 23226 We have one new baby to announce. Lena Thornton Small and Holmes welcomed a son, Christopher Thornton in April. With the World's Fair as the Main attraction, New York really beckoned to a lot of us . Sam and Sara Frances Derieux took their daughter, Justine, in June. Gin Ellet visited the Fair and Jean Waldrop went not once, but twice. We just happened to run into her in St. Patrick's Cathedral when we were there in July . Bev Patton Browne and her mother took one of the R. F. & P. tours to N. Y. and the Fair. The Cumbys, Mary Lou Massie and family, took a three week camping trip through New England, visiting every state, and Canada. In addition they have acquired a summer home at Nags Head, N. C. Marion Collier Miller had the busiest summer of us all, I believe . In addition to going to school at the U. of R. she took her two boys, John and Mark on a N. Y. and Canadian trip that her husband had planned for them. She will continue school, working on her Master's Degree, this winter. Instead of teaching, this fall, Marion will be a full time counselor at J . Randolph Tucker Jr.-Sr. High School. Gin Ellet will add counseling to her duties at Thomas Jefferson High School this fall. She will teach only the Advanced Science classes. Frances Coles McClennan brought her family to Halifax for a summer visit. As always, the beaches claimed a good number of us during the summer. The Cralles went to Virginia Beach and took another trip to upstate N. Y. They spent a quiet time on the shores of Lake Ontario. Jesse is opening a forty unit apartment project in southside Richmond this fall. Anne Higgins Borger and Dan spent a few days at Wrightsville Beach. The second half of our vacation was spent at a Delaware beach with friends from Washington. Not everyone went North this year. The Allins, Izzy and Jay, went to Florida early in the season to visit both of their families. The Andrews, Betty Tinsley and Dick, took their vacation through the mountains of North Carolina-very beautiful and restful. This is all for this time but please let me know of your fall activities-only you can supply me with news for these letters . 1948 Secretary MRS. JARVIS ENNIS (Doris Moore) 1772 Old Buckroe Road Hampton, Virginia I never cease to be fascinated by the things the "Girls of '48" are doing in their post college days. I received a letter from Los Angeles which outlined the finest program

of international good-will that one of our classmates runs with little additional help . Lena Iggers Moszkowski is chairman of a committee of the International Student Center at UCLA. This committee furnishes two to eight apartments a month for foreign students. They attempt to help orientate these families to our language, customs, and foods while they are students in America. All this voluntary work is done by Lena while she is still taking care of her husband, a Physics professor at UCLA, and her three boys, ages 8, 5, and 4. She stated that in addition to helping these people get the physical items they need, she is called upon to stand by them in times of major personal crisis. What better way to make foreign friends! Jean Brumsey Biscoe wrote that she had visited Faye Hines Kilpatrick and Bob at their home in Connecticut. She was impressed with the interest of the family in horses. They own two animals, the children have won many ribbons, and Faye qualified as an instructor at a "horse camp" this summer. Two class members have husbands with promotions. Pat Adams Woodhead will have to move to Stroudsburg, Pa. for Bob to accept the position of vice president of Edinger-Wyckoff. This means giving up two horses and a new stable in Richmond. Mary Cross Marshall's husband, Bob, is now vice president of Union Life Insurance Co. Some of the Richmond girls got to visit with Beth Koltukian Cowles when she came into Richmond from Crystal City, Mo. with her family. Other visitors to the capital city were Arlene Reynolds Schaefer, Susan Lovern Peeler, and Faye Kilpatrick. These girls attended the John Marshall High School 20th Reunion. On a recent trip to Florida, Betty Hickerson Butterworth went shopping. There is nothing unusual about that except she came upon Allen Rucker Williams in the store. Neither could get over seeing someone from WC in a store in Florida. Small world! We have shared numerous weeks and weekends with Millicent Hutcherson Taylor and her family. Together we took in the World's Fair, sunned at Nags Head, and concluded the summer here Labor Day. We went to see Emily Smith Powers and the new addition being built to her house. 1949 Secretary MRS. RICHARDA. ELLIS (Randy Mann) 109 Clwyd Road Bala-Cynwyd, Pennsylvania Many thanks to our reunion committee which did such a fine job handling all of the arrangements and details for our fifteenth reunion. There were forty-one of us at one or both of the evening festivities and our class was we ll represented at the college Saturday morning . It was fun seeing everyone again -especially for those of us not in the Richmond area-as such a long time goes by between reunions. There isn't enough space to list everyone there but hope all those who couldn't make it this time will be able to join us in '69 for our twentieth. On Friday evening we had dinner at the Colony Club, and we were so glad that Miss Rivenberg, our sponsor, could be with us. Saturday activities at Westhampton were most interesting and the hospitality of Mimi Anderson Gill and Billy, Saturday evening, was in true southern style. The news is brief this time as there are all new group leaders and groups. Please send your group leaders all the news that you can gather so th at the winter letter will be considerably longer. Our best wishes to Cornelia Ayre (Mrs. Fred) Bales who was married in July. We want to extend our deepest sympathy to Martha Hall. Her father passed away in August. Many thanks to our outgoing secretary Bar-

hara Rhodes Barker who did a splendid job not only as secretary but also in organizing and handling the reunion. We will now have a secretary for two years at a time and a Richmonder as the secretary for the reunion year. This means three secretaries every five years which should lighten the load. I am looking forward to hearing about or from all of you in the near future. 1950 Secretary MRS. DAVIDB. BURBANK(Doris Balderson) 910 Hampstead Ave. Richmond 26, Va. Louise Covington Randall this summer wrote that Harry would be with the 1st Marine Air Wing in Japan for a year, so she and the three children will stay in Appomattox with her mother. Louise's father died in April, so I know that she and her family will find comfort in being together. Her address now is Route 3, Appomattox, Virginia. New address for Miriam Weddle Whitt and Robert is 1418 Ford Avenue, Mechanicsville, Virginia. We did not receive the news of Gatewood Holland Stoneman and Wilmer's fifth child, Richard Edward, born October 11, 1963, until this issue. Sorry to be so late . Gatewood says that they are kept busy in their family with 4H work. Ruth Morrissey Bain, Tom, and the children are back in Virginia from Southern Rhodesia. They are living in Crozet with her mother . Tom is going to the University of Virginia to further his medical studies. They are in the process of building a home in Crozet. Lucia MacClintock Barbour wrote that a neighbor of hers in Winchester, a girl who attended Westhampton College in 1962-1963, was a counselor at Lake George Summer Camp. On Parents' Day, she met a camper's mother who was Carol Sidlovsky Glicksman. Lucia and her family spent four days in New York City and the Fair.

Barbara Moore Flannagan and family vacationed at the World 's Fair last May, and in July they spent several days at Virginia Beach. She writes, "We stopped by and visited with

Ann Hanbury Callis, meeting her cute children, and seeing her pretty home. " Mary Lou and John Dorsey moved co Connecticut in July. Her new address is 18 Shipway Road, Darien, Connecticut. Lois Reamy, class of '56, is writing an article for the Alumni Bulletin dealing with who are currently graduates Westhampton living and working abroad.

I really shouldn't complain, though, because you have done so well every ocher time, so let's just let bygones be bygones and start all over again.

The Wisdom of the Past ''EVERY ONE

When

Xenophon spoke these words, more than 2,000 years ago, he appealed to that spirit of individual responsibility that made the Greek character and nation among the most admired in all history. With that spirit, the army of Xenophon marched to a seemingly impossible victory. With that spirit, men and nations have marched to greatness since the world began. Our own nation won its freedom and built its strength as a nation of leaders. When we lose this spirit of independence, when we surrender our individual responsibilities to an expanding government, when we ignore the erosion of our personal liberties - then we sap our strength as a nation, and endanger the freedom of generations yet to come. Let us accept the challenge of Xenophon. Let us ~ be leaders.

Napier, III in Montgomery, Alabama and they plan co live there. A nice long, informative letter from Dottie Smoker Nielsen told me that last May she was elected president of the Junior Woman's Club of Springfield, Pa. for a two year term. She represented her club at the Seate Convention in Harrisburg for three days in May and also went to the General Federation Convention in Atlantic City in June. Since her club is a large one (105 members) and an active one, we foresee two extremely busy years ahead for Madam President.

My family and I had the best one ever-sailing, camping in the Irish Hills of Michigan, a trip to New York and the World's Fair (Grandma kept the children) a visit to Virginia, and having my mother and brother here for a visit. The Detroit newspapers are in their tenth week of strikes and we are without information of daily, national or world events. What is even worse, I have received far too few letters from classmates who could at least enlighten me as to personal news or happenings of the town in which they live! There was a nice letter from Eleanor Vosburgh Hettick from Garden Grove, California. She and Larry moved their family into a new home in June.

Fred is planning to go deer hunting during his vacation and Anita and the children will visit her parents and friends in Arlington. Anita went with Fred on Opening Day of the 1962 deer season and "was scared to death we'd see one." Jackie Feeman achieved her Master's Degree in Education at the University of Virginia this summer.

Bonnie Lewis Haynie and Scott spent two weeks in Reedville during Jerry's stay at camp. Bev Eubank Evans and Tommy enjoyed a week at Nags Head with another couple. Barbara Kriz Turlington is doing research as a medical technician at M.C.V. Her husband, Ed, is a 1959 graduate of T. C. Williams Law School and is practicing law in Richmond. Jean Martin Wyndham is teaching 30 fifth graders. Her husband and Marguerite Dorsey Fussell's were co-managers of the Tuckahoe Giants little league team (who went on to win the championship) so both of them spent all summer at the games. Carrol Andrews is still active in church work, and is busy with the baby. She is very domestic, has a garden and cans the vegetables. Dave is going to RP.I. Judy Grove Kinter has two active children, Betsy, 2, and Robbie, 1 year old. Three of her paintings were on display at Wayside Gallery this summer. Besides chis, she is Superintendent and teacher of the high school department of her Sunday School, and plans co teach the children of migrant apple pickers several days a week. Husband John won both Grand Champion Bull and Female honors with his show cattle at the last fair and they are bound for the state fair again this year. Sue Sybert Ritter, Fred, and Friczie are in Pearisburg where Fred is pastor of the Lutheran church. Margaret Rutherford Compton has been working with her husband in the lumber business. They both are learning to play golf and already have become "utter addicts." William Luther, now six months old, is definitely the apple of their eyes. Mary Trew Biddlecomb Lindquist and Jerry are still raving about the delightful trip they took to Daytona Beach, Florida, over the 4th of July. They bought a surfboard, spent every day on the beach, found time to discover Silver Springs and Marineland, and were fascinated by jai alai games that they attended several evenings. Jeff stayed with Mary Trew's parents but Jerry's mother was there too, and he was absolutely smothered with attention. At our 5th year reunion in June we passed the hat for voluntary contributions to the

class fund. We encourage those who haven 't contributed and who are willing to help underwrite our few expenses (address lists and such) to send any contributions to me to be added to the kitty (which is residing in a coffee can buried beneath my front porch). We do not collect dues and hope to issue no appeals for money from one reunion year to the next (1969). We have 18 excellent group leaders and I want to thank each one for the splendid cooperation so far. I also want to convey to Elizabeth our appreciation for being such a fine secretary. As I conclude, I wish to extend sincere sympathy from each of us to Annette Ellis Hall, whose husband Curt died Tuesday, August 25, leaving a daughter, Stephanie, two years old, and a son, Leon Curtis, III, only two months old. 1960 Secretary MRS.

ROBLEY

J. LIGHT

(Jeanne Kosko) 1301 Parga Street Tallahassee, Florida 32304 Tallahassee like Rome is a city of seven hills and as the warnings of Hurricane Dora became more intense, we felt some relief in knowing this. The Lighthouse was even more relieved when Dora subsided just a few miles from Tallahassee as we had just moved into our new home on one of those seven hills. (Please note the change of address when writing to me). Another classmate with a new address is Jane Horton Blackwell, 2095 Burton Plaza Lane, N. E., Apt. I-6, Atlanta 19, Ga. She and Buddy vacationed at home in Wytheville chis summer and had some "nights out" with Nancy Wheeler Farthing and Bill. Bill is practicing with another dentist there and they have a son, Will, Jr., who is 11/z. Weddings are of interest to all of us and another June bride on our class rolls was Becky Grissom who became Mrs. James Gerald Van Ausdall, junior, on June the twenty-seventh in Chesapeake, Virginia. After a honeymoon at Sea Island, Georgia and the World's Fair, Becky and Jerry are residing at 801-G N. Hamilton St., Richmond; Jerry is a sales representative for Pilot Freight Carriers. I understand there was quite a WC reunion at the wedding .... Linda Morgan Lemmon and Phyllis Jenkins Polhemus were attendants and Sally Evans and Margie Donald Miller and Lowry were wellwishers. Linda and Bob purchased a home in Aberdeen this spring and now receive their mail at 651 Andrews Road; as their furniture was damaged in a movers' fire, Linda had the added chore of purchasing new furniture after their move from Kentucky (or perhaps it was a pleasure to start over in decorating). Margie Donald Miller writes that they are leaving active duty in the Navy and Lowry is entering law school this fall. They visited in Richmond recently with Nancy Jenkins Marrow and Hunter. Going back to school also is Bonnie Clarke but in the role of a teacher in a new city ... Atlanta, Ga. Richmond's population must be increasing rapidly as our classmates always seem to be returning there; Mary Eakle Adams and Floyd moved from Florida there and are residing at 808 Beechwood Ave., Apt. 324. They also added a third member of the family, Steven Edward. Floyd is associated with the Central National Bank in Richmond. Many of you will remember Millie Smoot Aldendereer who was a member of our rolls for two years. She and Bill are making a career of the Navy and recently moved from Hawaii to 2010 Clare Road, Lawrence, Kansas. Another classmate who departed before graduation was Frances Ann Holtzclaw Shuford who attended UNC for a while but returned to WC a year ago and received her degree in June there; Frances Ann and Bob live in Hampton now. Doris McBride Chesher and Ollie haven't

[ 34}

stopped travelling long enough to unpack suitcases this summer .... After visiting in Louisville, Ky., they attended the Southern Baptist Convention in Atlantic City and then continued on to the World's Fair; then they took 25 youths to camp at Eagle Eyrie (little Ruth went along as mascot so reports Doris), visited a week with Sue Luddington Jones and Sam where they beached at Virginia Beach and ran into Ethel Burton Lee (David is on duty in Iceland and Ethel is staying with her mother in preference to the cold climate). Doris had a surprise visitor this summer .... Becky Powell (class of '61) who was visiting relatives in Eagle Rock after just returning from Germany. When we were in Roanoke this summer, Marie Grasty Harris and little Richie were visiting her parents also while Dick was on business in South America. Julie Hollyfield Kosko and Paul have returned from Germany to live in Roanoke . While Paul commutes to · Va. Tech, Julie is teaching commercial courses at Jefferson Senior High School and they live at 2601 Westover Ave., S. W., Apt. 6 (complete with swimming pool). Alice Clement Boone and Chuck continue to lead an exciting life in the summer while Chuck plays baseball. This year he was in a league in Columbus, Georgia. Speaking of an exciting summer, Sally Evans can boast of one she had last vear as she met her fiance on a trip to Newfoundland, Jim Hayes who is a Lt. in the Navy and flies a patrol bomber out of Patuxent, Md. I cannot urge you enough to start making your plans to attend our Fifth Reunion coming up this next June. The class officers will begin making plans shortly and if any of you have suggestions as to how to make this our biggest and best Reunion, please let us hear from you. . . . Let's aim for a better than 50% attendance so start filling the piggy banks and informing husbands, grandmothers-babysitters, etc. about your plans and don't forget also the next newsletter deadline is December the first. 1961 Secretary JERRY H. JoNES (Betty Wade Blanton) 7701 Granger Road Richmond, Virginia MRS.

1962 Secretary Miss JoAN E. BrsHoP 1042 Chiswick Road Richmond, Virginia On behalf of the class of '62, I want to thank Robin Cramme for the fine job she has done for the past two years as secretary. I only hope I can do as well, and with the help of all '62 ers, maybe WE can. Speaking of Robin, a trip to Nassau was the highlight of her summer . She says she mostly relaxed, went swimming, etc., but I think she must have shopped somewhat, because she was thirty pounds overweight on the return flight (in baggage, that is). Charlotte Adams Higgs writes from Danville, Pa. where Wilson is interning at the Geisinger Medical Center.

Jungle ( Conti nu ed from page 5)

We reached Agua Escondida the next day at noon and received an unfriendly "welcome." We were thirsty and asked for water. Each Indian we asked pointed in a different direction . Finally we saw a woman coming with a pail on her head . We searched in that area and found a tiny spring entering into a dirty, green pool. We could not get our containers to the spring and had to dip water from the pool. We strained it through an article of clothing and boiled it. We were able to drink it even though the animals refused it! When the Indians learned that we had medicine they gave us a hut and sold us eggs and tortillas . One man guided us to the Mayan ruins and we were amazed at the temple that was in such good repair . The day following our return to A.B. we had to build the huge balsa rafts that were to carry us downriver to the tiny airstrip. A week later our Jungle Camp training was over. We poled our rafts downstream for four hours to reach the tiny clearing where the M.A.F. pilot would land to carry us back to civilization. There we thanked the Lord for the three months training that will be so valuable as we go into our various tribes to translate or teach. Two days later I arrived in Guatemala where eventually I will go into a tribe as a literacy teacher for the Wycliffe Bible Translators. One other girl and I will live in that tribe and give the people medical help and teach them to read . Our goal is that they may be able someday to read the Word of God which has already been trans lated into their native tongu e. I celebrated my 40th birthday just pr ior to going to Jungle Camp. For me, life does indeed begin at forty with accumulated richness and joy.
