~MAC' AND ~DR. MAC' A small number of college newspaper editors participated recently in a survey conducted by a national magazine, and one of tl1e questions asked went somet hing like this: "In which colleges are students most likely to lose their religious £aim?"

The editors checked two or three specific institutions by name and then added: "Any church-related college."

The answer probably reflected an attempt at sophistication by the young ladies and gentlemen who edit the college publications. But whatever the exp lanatio n, their respo nse rings hollow when one looks at me lives and influence of two men whose fort hcomi ng retireme nts from the faculty of the University of Richmond were announced yesterday.

For here are two men who not only performed eminently in their respective fields, but whose dedication to Christian principles surely has enriched the lives of mousands of young men with whom they have come into contact on the campus of the churc h-related institution in Richmond's West End. Dr. Ralph C. McDanel, chairman of the university's depart ment of history and political science, and Athletic Director Malcolm U. Pitt have given a combined tota l of 80 years of their lives to the teaching and training of youth. And off campus they have devoted their wide range of talents to countless good causes. Both have chalke d up many years of service as Sunday school teachers.

Dr. McDanel's abilities have been recognized far beyond the Wesma mpton camp us. He has, for example, served as president of me Soumern Conference, the sports leag ue to which the University belongs, and as national president of the outstanding coll egiate leadership fraternity, Omicron Delta Kappa. In the classroom, he has taught history in such a manner as to increase his students' appreciation for, and love of, country.

Mac Pitt once said he took up coaching " because I consider it a calling next to the ministry. " He welcomed the "opportunity to apply Christian principles on a field of play ."

The contributions of "Mac" and " Dr . Mac " to me University of Richmo nd are far beyond measuring. It is a better school because they have been there, and Rich mond is a better city because of meir influence . And dedicated as they are, it is safe co predict tl1at retirement will by no means end their service to their alma mater or to the community.

By EDWARD

C. PEPLE, '32

In one of the most important administrative developments in the history of the University of Richmond, on February 2, 1967, Dr. Robert F. Smart, Dean of Richmond College since 1957, was named by the Trustees as Provost of the University.

As the same time, Dr. Austin E. Grigg, Chairman of the Department of Psychology, was appointed to succeed Dr. Smart as Dean of Richmond College. Both announcements were received with enthusiastic approval.

The office of Provost was created by the Trustees, explained Dr. Robert T. Marsh, Rector of the University, "to take some of the administrative burden off the President." Those close to University affairs, especially members of the Faculty and Ad ministration, had witnessed with real concern the increase in responsibilities of the office of the President. During the twentyone years that Dr. George M . Mod lin has held that position, the total enrollment in all divisions has increased from 3,929 in 1946-47 to 7,580 in 1966-67 ; the School of Business Administration was established as a separate division in 1949; extension courses in Bible and Religion were begun on a regular basis in 1960; a cooperative program was initiated wit h the Virginia Institute of S_cie ntific Research and the latter organizatto~ m?ved to buildings on the campus; Unive rsity College was established in 1962; the Institute for Business and Community Development was organized in 1965.

The physical expansion in the same twenty-one-year period is illustrated by the following major additions: South Court (1948), the Richmond College Student Center (1951), Robins Memorial Field at Richmond College (195 3), T. C. Williams School of Law building (1954) , Frederic William Boatwright Memorial Library (1955), Wood Memorial Hall (1956), Robins Memorial Hall (1959), School of Business Administration (1961), Dennis Memorial Hall and the Fannie G. Crenshaw SwimI?ing_ Pool (1963), the new buildings at University College ( 1965) , the Fine Arts

June 1966 .

There have been parallel increases in every aspect of the University's administration and operation. . The Self Study Report of 1965 brought mto sharp focus the administrative problems of the President when it stated, "As the chief executive officer of the University, the President performs an almost incredible number of duties. Many of these are specified by the By-Laws, and many others have accumulated with the expansion of the institution ." It is patently impossible to detail these "duties" : the report listed 5 3 specific ones and added, as number 54, "many other duties not specifically counted in the 5 3 items above." Between fifteen and twenty individuals, deans and chairmen, reported directly to the President. The wonder is not that he developed an ulcer, but that the number was limited to one.

Dr. Smart as Provost becomes the chief academic officer of the University, and reporting directly to him on academic matters will be the deans of the seven divisions chairmen of University committees, the Uni'. versity librarian, and the University phys ician. His principal duties will include continuing improvement of instruction and encouragement of research by faculty members, overseeing the operation of the University libraries, general supervision of the health of resident students, and, through the deans, general oversight of student discipline.

ThoseAlumni Medal Winners Most likely to succeed.

That has been the consensus of the committee, which selects the recipient of the Alumni Council medal which is awarded at Alumni Day to the outstanding member of the senior class.

Without exception the men who have received the medal have justified the faith of their classmates, the dean of Richmond College and the committee which makes the selection. Candidates for the medal are the five leaders in a senior class poll.

These names are submitted to the committee which makes its selection on the basis of the academic rank of the candidates, their participation is extracurricular activities and their likelihood of future work.

The processon of medal winners begins with William J. Fallis who received the award in 1936.

Including Fallis, who has combined the ministry with editing as book editor of the Broadman Press for the Baptist Sunday School Board, the occupations of the winners break down this way: 10 in business, five in the ministry, five in teaching, two each in medicine and law, and five who are continuing their education in full-time graduate study.

Twenty-one of the 29 had earned other degrees, and the more recent graduates are working toward graduate degrees.

It appears that one would have advantage if his name is Massie or Dickerson-two each with those names have won medals.

G . Edmond Massie, III, '41, is now vice president of sales of Garrett and Massie, Richmond printers; and H. Stuart Massie, Jr., '49, (no relation) is manager of the Hartford office of the Travelers Insurance Company.

The first Dickerson to win was Lynn C. Dickerson, II, '52, now associate professor of English and chairman of the division of humanities at Brunswick Junior College; his brother, Park P. Dickerson, of the United Church is Johnson, Vt., won the medal in 1955.

The Dickersons missed by a letter joining Alfred J. Dickinson, president of his own real estate firm in Richmond, who won the medal in 1937.

Fallis is the first one who pursued graduate study, earning a Th.M . and Th.D. at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. His editorial duties at Broadman Press include appraising more than 600 manuscripts annually and publishing 50 books each year for the general religious trade.

His books will be read by Park Dickerson and the four others in the active ministry.

m Grant MusicProfessorWins Guggenhei

by SUZANNE KIDD, '58* Economic analyst, professional violinist, are the three careers musicologist-these that have occupied the life of Frederick Neumann, professor of music at the University of Richmond. His outstanding achievements in his third career were most recently recognized when he received a Guggenheim Memoria l Foundation grant for 1967. Only eight awards were made this year in music. Five of these are to composers and three to musicologists. The other two musicology awards went to professors at the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Illinois.

Dr. Neumann was born in Czecho~lovakia and attended school in Prague. It was in political science and economics that he earned his first doctorate (University of Berlin in 1934) with a dissertation on stock exchange crises and their economic consequences. For several years he worked as economic research analyst for the Skoda Eng ineering Works in Prague. During this time he wrote many articles on matters of currency and foreign trade for Prague newspapers and economic weeklies. *Miss Kidd, an internatio nally known organist, is a member of th e U nivers ity of Ric hmond departme nt of music.

From childhood Dr . Neumann studied violin, and he and his two brothers were well known in Prague as a performing ensemble. In 1937 he chose music as his new career and left Prague for further music study in Berlin and later with Adolf Busch, world-famous violinist, in Switzerland. In 1939, on the day the war broke out, he received a visa to the United States, and since then America has been his home. He became a citizen in 1944.

Seattle was his first stop in this country.

For several years he taught there at the Cornish School of Music and Arts. It was during these years that he began to concertize, and he became well-known in the area as a violinist.

His four years in the Army began with work in the Special Services Division where he could use his musical abilities. But he was soon assigned to Intelligence, where he was actively involved in the Battle of the Bulge in December, 1944.

Following his Army discharge, Dr. Neumann attended Columbia University, where he received a Master of Arts and Ph .D. in Music Education. His second dissertation concerns violin technique, and has appeared as a series of twenty-four articles in the

American String Teacher. It is now in the process of being published in book form by the American String Teacher's Association.

For three years Dr . Neumann taught violin at the University of Miami and was concertmaster of their Symphony Orchestra . Then came several years of professional playing in New York City. His orchestra positions have included first violinist with the New York Symphony, the New York City Opera, RCA-Victor Orchestra, and assistant concertmaster of the Boston Pops Touring Orchestra.

Dr. Neumann came to the University of Richmond in 1955 to teach music education, strings, and music appreciation. He conducts the University Chamber Orchestra and served as concertmaster of the Richmond Symphony from its beginnings until 1964, when his interest in research launched him on his third career.

Seventeenth and eighteenth century musical performance practice is his particular field of research, and the music of J. S. Bach is the main focal point. Interest in authentic musical performance has occupied (Continued on page 12)

Debaters Travel 10,000 Miles, Win Five Tourneys

U. of R.'sAll-Americans University of Richmond debaters traveled more than 10,000 miles this year to 20 tour naments on their way to earning a national reputation .

The giant-killers. That's what teams from other colleges and universities have dubbed the Spider debaters, who have gained their fame by knocking off such top institutions as the universities of Georgia, Maryland, California, Ohio, Miami, Kentucky, and Emory; and Dartmouth College and the U. S. Military Academy, just to name a few .

A high point in the season came in February when the Spider team won the U. S. Naval Academy's invitational tournament at Annapolis. It was the fifth major tourna ment to be won by the Richmond debaters.

Young Robert Cox of Newport News , the team captain for this year, and Tim Finchem of Virginia Beach were the heroes of that particular day, but they were only carrying on a precedent of winning set by Richmond debaters for the past decade.

On practically any weekend in the school year the debaters come home triumphantly lugging trophies won with their debating skill. It's become a problem to find somewhere to put them. Display cases in the student center as well as the speech department offices are jammed with these symbols of victory.

The debaters agree that it's a time-consuming but rewarding experience to be a member of a major debate team. When the varsity debaters return to the University in September they begin a preliminary ai1alysis of the national debate topic. This year the topi c was "Resolved: That the United States Should Substantially Reduce its Foreign Policy Commitments."

By the middle of October they usually have compiled a bibliography of 500 or more entries which provides the basis for documentation of their argwnents . Meanwhile , they hold weekly practice debate and analysis sessions where they attempt to find flaws in their own arguments while polishing their speaking ability.

Then they go on the road , reviewing techniques and checking their information while they travel.

But the grueling schedule has proven no handic ap to the debaters in compiling top scholarship records. Most of the students have maintained a Dean's List average. In almost every term in the past 1 O years one or more members of the debate team has been elected to Phi Beta Kappa or Beta Gamma Sigma as well as Omicron Delta Kappa and Who 's Who in American Colleges and Universities.

After graduation most of the students go to graduate school where their debate train -

ing stands them in good stead as they learn to become college teachers, lawyers or other professional persons.

The University's support of debate is reflected in the debate programs sponsored by the University. Each year, the High School Institute of Speech attracts several hundred of the best high school students. In the second semester of each year, the University sponsors the High School Debate Tournament, attracting more than 50 high school teams.

Much of the success of the debate teams

is the result of hard work by the University 's department of Speech and Dramatic Arts.

Dr. Bert E. Bradley, Jr., chairnun of the department, has been inspirational in his 12 years at the University. Dr. Jerry L. Tarver , associate professor of speech, assists in the coaching duties.

Debating has brought national honor to the University of Richmond campus. But more important , it has given men and women students an opportunity to learn to organize their thoughts, avoid shallow analysis and to speak clearly and confidently .

DEBATETEAM TROPHIES, won at the U. S. Military Academy's national tournament in February, are displayed by J. Robert Cox of Newport News, (right) the team captain, and sophomore Timothy Finchem of Virginia Beach. With them is Dr. Bert E. Bradley, Jr., the team's coach. Their stack of trophies number more than 100.

THE STORYOF TOBACCO IN AMERICA

By JOSEPH C. ROBERT A Review By JAMES A. SARTAIN Did John Hancock's death result from his swallowing tobacco juice because he was too much of a gentleman to spit just anywhere? Will tobacco cure lockjaw? Did the loss of a bundle of cigars result in General Robert E. Lee's defeat at the battle

C. Robert

Hampden-Sydney and now Professor of History at the University of Richmond, traces the effect of tobacco on the political, economic and social life of the United States from the arrival of Columbus to the recent Surgeon Genera.l's Report. In a rare combination of scholarship and wit, Dr. Robert has skillfully woven history, statistics, and folklore into a highly readable book of interest to the historian and to the genera.I public.

The first section of the book is devoted to the role of tobacco in the development of the American colonies with especial emphasis upon Virginia. Dr . Robert describes the early methods of cultivation and manufacture of tobacco and its significant impact upon the economic and political life of the colonists. He points out that both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson had serious financial difficulties with the English merchants who controlled the export and sale of tobacco. In a fascinating section he tells how Patrick Henry first heard the shouts of "Treason " in the famous Parson's Cause case when he said that the king instead of being a father had now become a tyrant whose bad acts deserved no obedience.

Even in these early days the question of the effect of tobacco upon health was raised.

Some claimed that it was valuable as a dentifrice and as a cure for a great variety of diseases. Others viewed tobacco as harm ful to health and morality. King James I in his tract Counterblaste to Tobacco asserted that for the user of tobacco, "all his members shall become feeble, his spirits dull, and in the end, as a drowsie lazie belly god, he shall vanish in a Lethargie." In spite of this opposition, however, tobacco became the basis for many of the early fortunes in Virginia. William Fitzhugh, Robert Carter, and William Byrd were among the early aristocrats in Virginia to cultivate tobacco.

It is interesting to note that the early financial support for the College of William and Mary came from a tax of one penny per pound on all tobacco exported from either Virginia or Maryland to another colony.

Profile: Helen Ruth Henderson

by MAY THOMPSON EVANS Miss Henderson Survives ... Survivor of Plane Crash Tells About Long Ordeal ...

Plane Survivor Tells of Songs Before Resc11e ...

These were some of the headlines in late September of 1946 when Dr. Helen Ruth Henderson, Director of the International Division, Girl Scouts, U.S.A. , was one of 17 persons who survived while 27 perished in an airplane crash in the wilderness of Newfoundland.

"I sang the Doxology, but I don't know whether the others who tried to follow me knew what it was," Ruth said later. She was returning home from the World Conference of the World Association of Girls Guides and Girl Scouts, held in France. She was on this particular flight because, characteristically, she had given her reservation of the day before to another _person eager to reach home. With critical injuries, including a broken back and a crushed ankle, Ruth nevertheless administered for two days to her fellow survivors. She was cited by the Girl Scouts for her behavior during that tragedy. The next two years she spent mainly in recovery.

More will follow about Ruth 's activities during the 14 years of 1946-60, when she was with the Girl Scouts and achieved the recognized status of a world personage.

Today , and since 1961, Ruth has been back in the Southland, in Knoxville, Tenn., except for going around the world in 1963 and for shorter trips. As the Coordinator of the Citizens Foreign Hospitality Committee of Knoxville, she draws upon her worldwide knowledge in arranging for the foreign visitors to the Tennessee Valley Authority to experience also the family hospitality in rural and urban homes. Approximately 3,000 foreign visitors come from 120 countries during a year- kings, queens , premiers, governors, engineers, educators, labor leaders, personnel administrators, businessmen.

She says, "It has been my pleasure to make arrangements for more than 5,000 visitors from foreign lands since I have been the Coordinator."

It seems of special significance that the world relations position of coordinator is funded by six different community groups in the Knoxville area. Ruth works with the TV A and through a volunteer committee of people whose personal horizons go far beyond their own community.

"Such programs of home hospitality as the one in the Knoxville area are passports to frendship," she pointed out. "In a troubled and ever smaller world, it is possible and

Helen Ruth Henderson

probable that such passports make a substantial contribution to peace."

During the years when Ruth served as Director of the International Division of Girl Scouts, she had headquarters in New York, but she worked around the world with the other S 1 countries that comprised the World Association. The Girl Scouts numbered 31/z million; the World Association, over S million members.

These were the years of 1946-60, when she was spending three months abroad every two years, to attend World Conferences in Brazil, France, Great Britain, Greece, The Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland ... and to visit other countries during the World Conference focus. Between times, she made shorter trips to other countries, and constantly visited throughout our United States.

Ruth initiated policies and operat ing procedures for the conduct of official business of the Girl Scouts with the World Bureau and the S 1 other member coutries of the World Association. She prepared position papers and briefed U. S. delegations to world-wide conferences, as well as attending as U. S. representative. She also administered the exchange program of teen-age and adult Girl Scouts between the United States and other countries. To plan exchange programs and to interpret Girl Scouts, she visited countries in Western Europe, the Near East, and Central and South America.

She worked with many organizations having international programs.

Just before she joined the Girl Scouts in early '46, Ruth's wartime concern had taken her to work in Tennessee and in Washington, D . C. She spent nearl y two years with the Tennessee-Eastman Company, Manhattan District, at Oak Ridge. She was the Training Supervisor for the Counsellor and Personnel Program. Here she identified and analyzed problems of women workers and [ 8]

made recommendations to management. She prepared training materials for supervisors and assisted in the placement of personnel.

She served a stretch with the U. S. Office of Education as specialist in extended school services. She planned after-school programs for children of working mothers.

From the national office, she worked with state superintendents of schools and other officials of the states. To the national Office of Education, she carried wide state experience.

At the time of Ruth's plane crash, the R ichmond Times-Dispatch, took the occasion to highlight her state-wide leadership in Virginia , in the following news item: "She first came to state-wide notice in 1928, when she served a term in the House of Delegates from Russell and Buchanan Counties, taking a seat which previously had been held by her mother, Mrs. Helen T. Henderson [ first woman elected to the Virginia General Assembly]. Miss Henderson's ability and personality were highly regarded in the House."

After leaving the Legislature she became still more widely known through the Commonwealth in her capacity as state supervisor of elementary education, a post she occupied most competently for 12 years.

During these years, Ruth kept in teaching practice by conducting summer courses at the Universities of Virginia and Stanford.

Special groups with whom Ruth served during those years included: the Virginia Liberal Arts College Commission ; National Advisory Committee on Illiteracy; and the International Social Welfare Committee of the National Social Welfare Assembly.

Through her years in State education, Ruth contributed to numerous journals, yearbooks, and handbooks. In recognition of her writing, the Eugene Field Society conferred honorary membership upon her.

The two years immediately prior to Ruth 's state position in education, she had spent at Columbia University, taking her master 's at Teachers College, and her doctorate at the University, with a major in rural sociology and curriculum. The coveted honor of the Frank R. Chambers Fellowship, awarded to Ruth for 1930-32, enabled her to continue her education and writing.

Ruth's earliest career years had won for her the justified recognition of the Columbia Fellow. She had been Assistant Princip al of the Buchanan Mountain Mission School at Council, Va. (a position held by her mother previously) and Field Represent ative of the Virginia Cooperative Education . ( Conti1111edon page 12)

Fastest Man in the Southern Conference

Bob Crute: He's The Greatest

By WALTER DREWRY

Bob Crute is making sweet music for Coach Fred Hardy's University of Richmond track team. The five-foot-eleven, 160-pounder, who has a fine tenor singing voice, has established himself as the greatest sprinter in University of Richmond track history .

Bob, a senior from Radford and the son of a Baptist minister , is the premier dashman in the Southern Conference and is un defeated in the Virginia State Meet ( outdoor and indoor) competition. Bob came to Spiderland as a football halfback but has concentrated on track after his frosh season.

Crute, co-captain of this year's Spider squad, holds every school sprint record . Out doors he's run the 100 in 9.6 seconds and the 220 in 21.2 seconds. Indoors his marks are 6.2 in the 60-yard dash (tied with Sam McCormick), 22.2 in the 220, 35.6 (Southern Conference record) in the 330 and 50.3 in the 440. His outdoor mark of 49.3 in the 440 is only one-tenth of a second off the school record.

Crute , who also plays the piano and trumpet, qualified for the nationals at Brigham Young University June 1-3 in the 220 by running a 21.3 on a curve against Duke.

"Bob is excellent in the 100," says Hardy, "but he 's best in the 220. I believe he's in the top five in the country in this event."

Crute, who's major ing in voice music with a minor in sociology and plans to further his education with a master's degree in church music at Southern Baptist Seminary in Louisville, also believes the 220 is his best event because "it takes time to get into second gear."

Bob acquits himself as well in relays as he does in individual sprints. He 's a member of the school record setting 440 relay (41.6) and mile relay (3:18.9) outdoor teams and 440 relay ( 43.3, VMI Relays record) and mile relay (3:25.1, State Meet record) indoor teams.

In the State Indoor Meet he has won the 60-yard dash four consecutive years in the 1964 frosh division and in all three varsity meets. Outdoors he will be shooting for four-in-a-row this spring in both dashes. As a sophomore he set the State Meet records of 9. 7 and 21.3.

Last year in the Southern Conference Meet Crute tied the century mark of 9.7 and set a new 220 ( around a curve) record of 21.6.

In addition , he anchored the winning 440 relay team and ran the first leg on the victorious mile relay foursome. His 121/z points led the Spiders to a surprising tie for third place in the meet with 35 points.

Crute, who has accounted for 204¼ points in two varsity seasons, has a chance to score more points in a career than any Spider trackman in history. The long standing mark is the 2781/z points scored by Virgil Goode in 1924-26. Bob scored 121/z points in this season's opening win over Washington & Lee, 1131/z-401/z. On a cold wet track he won the two dashes in 9.8 and 21.8 and ran on both winning relay teams. The Spiders have five more dual contests plus the State and Conference meets.

At his best in big meets, Crute set the Colonial Relays record of 9.8 seconds for the century last year. He also won this event as a sophomore and freshman. Bob competed in the NCAA Indoor Meet held in Detroit in 1966 and 1967, finishing in the top ten both years in the 440. As a junior he won the Chicago Invitational Ind oor Meet 220 in 22.6 seconds and was second in the (Continued on page 39)

Another Winner for Mac Pitt

BaseballTearn8-4 at HalfwayMark Junior Righthander Dick Balderson, 180pound control artist from Portsmouth; versatile Tom Green, the All-Southern basketball star from Bristol, Tenn., and a couple of Richmond newcomers, Second Baseman Larry Powers and Third Baseman Tommy Gilman, are some of the chief reasons Coach Mac Pitt's baseball team is having a successful season. At the mid-season point the Spiders had captured eight of 12 games and were 5-2 in the Southern Conference chase.

Balderson, who posted an 8-2 record last season as a sophomore, has worked 41 innings for the Spiders on the mound and allowed only three earned runs for a brilliant .63 earned run average, one of the best in the nation. He has struck out 31 batters and walked only five. He has a deceiving 3-2 record, losing a pair of 2-0 decisions to Virginia Tech and East Carolina. Dick has three shutouts to his credit. He blanked Vermont, 2-0, on two hits; George Washington , 2-0, on a four-hitter, and Th e Citadel, 6-0, on two safeties.

Green, the 6-6 senior first baseman , is leading the club at bat with a healthy .342 stick mark. He has batted in 11 runs. His 13 hits include two doubles, a pair of triples and two home runs. Tom turned pitcher in the second game of a doubleheader with Davidson and stopped the Wildcats , 6-2, on three hits.

Powers, who won the second base job left vacant by the graduation of All-Southern Richie Sharff, has been a pleasant surprise.

Larry has banged three runs over the right field fence at Millhiser Field to lead the club in the department. He has a .324 batting mark.

Gilman was slow getting started but has been hitting the ball at a merry clip in recent games. He has batted in nine runs and is hitting the ball at a .333 clip.

Shortshop Frank Jenne ss and Catcher Emory Maiden, Spider co-capta ins from Richmond, have been solid performers in the field but have had trouble hitting up to their potential. However, both show signs of break ing out of their early season slumps which should make the Pittmen a stronger club down the stretch.

Senior Southpaw Jack Hellems, another Richmonder, has earned the No. 2 spot on the inexperienced mound staff. Jack stopped Davidson, 8-0, on four hits in his last start for his second triumph in three games.

Pitt is hopeful his light-hitting outfield of Louis Carro in left, Ernie Weatherholtz in center and either Jim Cliborne or Mike Garriott in right will provide more punch as the season progresses.

The Spiders won their first five games, beating Bucknell and taking a pair from both Vermont and George Washington . Then

they hit a slump and dropped games to Virginia Tech, Ashland (Ohio) College and a twin bill to East Carolina. In an about face the Pittmen banged out 27 hits and scored 20 runs while allowing the opposition only two runs as they defeated Th e Citadel and swept a twin bill from Davidson.

The Year of Johnny Moates The 1966-67 basketball season was the year of Johnny Moates, the Southern Conference 's Player of the Year. Not only was the 6-1 Spider captain and guard the first University of Richmond cager so honored, but Moates earned numerous honors and broke several school scoring records as he led Coach lewis Mills ' team to a fourth place (9- 7) finish in the conference regular season race and the semi-finals of the loop tournament.

Moates, also named to the All-Southern and all-tournament teams by a landslide and chosen Virginia Big Five Player of the Year, scored a career high 39 points as the Spiders defeated The Citadel, 100-98, in the thrilling overtime first round game of the Southern Conference tournament at Charlotte, N . C. The Spiders lost to West Virginia, which went on to win the title, by 82-70 in the semi-finals but Moates scored 27 points.

Johnny 's 25-point average for 23 games was tops in the Southern Conference. His 574 points for the season broke his own school record of 501 points set last year.

His 219 field goals also bettered by 15 his old school mark of a season ago. During his three-year career Moates averaged 19.5 points ( a school record) and scored 1,440 points , second only to Ed Harrison who tallied 1,84·3 points over a four-year period .

The Spiders finished with an 11-12 overall mark but six of the defeats were at the hands of West Virginia , the conference champ, and Virginia Tech , finalist in the NCAA Mideast tournament. The Mountaineers and Gobblers defeated the Spiders

three times each. Richmond won both games against VMI and Furman, held a 2-1 edge over The Citadel and broke even in hom e and away games with Davidson, William and Mary, George Washington and East Carolina. In single games Richmond defeated Florida State and lost to Virginia.

Tom Green, 6-6 senior All-Southern forward from Bristol , averaged 20.2 points for the Spiders and pulled down a dozen rebounds a game. Other seniors who will be missed next season are Harvey Roberts , 6-4 forward from Norfolk who had an 11-point average; Richmonder Buster Batts, the 6-8 center with a 10-point and 7.5-rebound mark ; Billy McCann (5 .0) , six-foot guard from Richmond and reserves Butch Renaldi from Easton, Pa. and Robbie Baldwin from Roanoke .

Next season's team will have to be built around Larry Patterson, Bobby Ukrop , Terry Burgess and Wilton Ford, reserves this season; Picot Frazier, the fine freshman guard of two years ago who hopes to regain his eligibility this summer, and members of Coach Martin Morris' excellent freshman quintet which posted 15 victories in 17 games.

Standouts for the Baby Spiders were Richmonder Kenny Foster, 6-2 guard who averaged 22.1 points ; John Holmes, 6-3 forward from Wilmette , Ill. , who averaged 20.8 points ; Gene Clemons, 6-6 forward from Wellsburg, W. Va., who averaged 17.3 points and a dozen rebounds ; Richmonder Frank Owen, 6-7 center with a 14.2-point and 13-rebound average, and playmaking Guard Kent Greenway, a sixfoot Richmonder.

and Chairman of the Division of Science and Mathematics. In 1957 he succeeded Dr. Raymond B. Pinchbeck as Dean of Richmond College. His activity in scientific affairs brought him wide recognition as a biologist and led to his election as President of the Virginia Academy of Science.

As a civic leader he has served as a commissioner and past president of the R. E. Lee Council of the Boy Scouts of America, as member and chairman of the Henrico County School Board, president of the Vir ginia School Boards Association, and pres[ 11 ]

ident of the Torch Club of Richmond. A great deal of his time and ability he devotes to River Road Baptist Church , which he serves as Chairman of the Board of Deacons, member of the Board of Administratio n, and teacher of adult classes in the Sunday School.

The Smarts have an attractive home in Westham that seems a little empty now at times until Robert , Jr., and Joan with their five children , and Tuckie and James Paxton with their little girl come back for joyous reunions. Man y alumni and alumnae know

Dr. Smart's wife, Eleanor, as a charming and gracious hostess.

As Dean of Richmond College, Dr. Grigg will head the oldest division of the University. He himself is a two-time gradute, having earned his B.A. in Richmond College and his M.A. in psychology in the University of Richmond Graduate School. He continued his graduate work at the University of Iowa and at Vanderbilt and was awarded his Ph.D . by the University of Iowa. After serving as Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Richmond, and as Psychologist and Assistant Director of Education at the Bancroft School for Nervous and Retarded Children at Haddonfield, New Jersey, he taught at the University of Texas and there directed the graduate training program in clinical psychology. His pro fessional career was interrupted by military service in World War II, during which he was clinical psychologist in the AAF Convalescent Hospital Program. He returned to the University of Richmond in 1960.

Active in professional groups he has been president of both the Psychology Section of the Virginia Academy of Science and of the Virginia Psychological Association.

He was a member of the Governor's Mental Health Study Commission and has been psychologist for the Virginia State Department of Corrections, consulting psychologist for Tucker Hospital, member of the State Board of Examiners for certifying clinical psychologists, member of the staff of the Medical College of Virginia as instructor in clinical psychology, and consultant to the Richmond Public Schools and to the National Parole Association. His research art icles have appeared in numerous professional publications.

He is an active member of River Road Baptist Church, where he serves on the Board of Administration and the teaching staff of the Sunday School.

This varied professional and academic background along with Dr. Grigg's natural sympathetic interest in people will prove invaluable for a dean, who has to be a kind of father-confessor to both students and faculty and who must at the same time insist on high standards, both professional and personal.

Dr. Grigg and his wife, Helen, have a ten-year-old son, Kenny , a student in Southampton School.

In the few short weeks that Dr. Smart and Dr. Grigg have held their new offices there has been neither time nor opportunity for radical innovations even if they should be intended, but the faculties have already seen evidences of increased efforts toward the continuing improvement of the University's contributions to its students and its constituency .

Neumann (Continued from page 5)

the larger American public's attention only since World War II. This interest has re-

sulted in widespread use of old instruments formerly relegated to museums, and to an enormous amount of research which tries to provide answers to the questions of how music written before 1800 was performed.

Dr. Neumann's interest in historically correct performance first led him into research, and he feels that many twentieth century writings about performance are illogical and he decided to the result unmusical-so "take a crack at it" himself .

People outside the field of music would probably be amazed at the enormous excitement created among musicologists and performers by a scholarly article which presents a "new" idea regarding interpretation of "old" music. In the last two years Dr. Neumann has published five major articles in leading journals of the United States, England and France. Three others will soon appear. His ideas regarding Baroque music performance have stirred up the proverbial hornets' nest, and are the object of both enthusiastic praise and noisy disagreement by other leading scholars in this country and Europe.

The articles have led to lecture invitations from the Cincinnati Music Conservatory, the University of Illinois, Princeton University, the University of North Carolina, Mary Washington College, and The Woman's Club of Richmond. He has been invited to present a paper for the New York Chapter of the American Musicological Society next January and to speak at the national meeting of the Society next winter in Santa Barbara, California.

Much of the material for his articles and lectures were collected in 1964-65 during a sabbatical leave when he went with his wife and son to Europe. Dr. Neumann worked in libraries in Germany, France and England, and presented papers at the University of Tiibingen, Germany and at the Societe Francaise de Musicologie in Paris.

It was an exciting year for each member of the Neumann family- except perhaps Nicolette, their enormous French poodle, who remained at home. Their son, Nick, a junior at Thomas Jefferson High School, attended classes at the Institute Montana in Switzerland. His year abroad only whetted his appetite for travel, and he is currently an American Field Service candidate for a second year abroad. Nick studies violin with his father and plays in the University Chamber Orchestra. He is also an enthusiastic guitarist. Nick is a candidate for next year's Senate at Thomas Jefferson and is a member of the Key Club chapter at his school.

(One of our favorite mental pictures of Dr. Neumann is of him in the role of chaperone at a recent Key Club dance. Nick says that his father sat there with his hands over his ears most of the time.)

For Mrs. Neumann the year in Europe was an opportunity to visit many of the places her husband knew before coming to America. While he was occupied with his work in what she calls "Bachlandia," she set herself the task of learning German and [ 12 )

exchanged English for German ( or as her husband says "Southeast Georgian for Swabisch") lessons with a German acquaintance. Mrs. Neumann holds Bachelors and Masters degrees from the University of Chicago. During the war she worked in the Southwest Pacific for the American Red Cross, and she came to Richmond to teach in the Graduate School of Psychiatric Social Work at the Richmond Professional Institute. Since her marriage she teaches Sociology part-time at RPI. The Guggenheim is not the first grant Dr. Neumann has received. He has been awarded three from the University of Richmond for summer projects, two Grants-inAid from the American Council of Learned Societies and one from the Philosophical Society. The Guggenheim is one of the most coveted scholarly awards. It enables Dr. Neumann to be on leave from the University during 1967-68 and thereby devote his full energy to finishing a book on the knotty problem of musical ornamentation in the compositions of Bach and his era. Various parts of the year will be spent in Richmond, Washington , and New York.

His plans also call for a trip to Italy to "fill in the gaps" in his research.

We look forward to the publication of Dr. Neumann's book. Doubtless it will have an important influence on the study and performance of Baroquqe music and will further secure his place in the front ranks of American Scholars.

Profile (Continued from page 8)

Immediately out of College, she had taught history and economics in the Franklin (Va.) High School.

About herself, Ruth says, "My experience indicates that my primary interest lies in problems of social development. Working with people, their problems and their interests has always given me satisfaction. I have, as a side issue, participated in politics for a brief period, studied music and voice, ridden trained and untrained horses, followed the theatre with interest, played bridge, grown flowers, taught a Sunday School class, attended forums, and kept house.

"I am greatly concerned with events in this country and abroad. I have tried to apply in my relations with people the principles of understanding which seem essential in a community-wide or world-wide organization.

"I have deep respect for the personalities of all people."

Today, Ruth is still being felt in international friendship. Instead of other countries welcoming her arrival in their lands, she, with the TV A, is welcoming officials from the countries of the world - right there in Knoxville . . . and at such a pace that Ruth says, "I sometimes declare that I shall retire from retirement since I stay so busy."

FLETCHERCITED FOR BROTHERHOOD Dr. Fred Fletcher, '13, was one of three Richmond men awarded a national brotherhood citation by Virginia Governor Mills E. Godwin in December.

The physician was commended for "lifetime devotion to the ideal of the brotherhood of man under the Fatherhood of God; devotion and service to one's own religious group, and civic service and leadership."

Dr. Fletcher has served as president of the MCV Alumni Association, the Richmond Community Recreation Association and the Richmond Academy of Medicine. He was named a Knight of St. Sylvester by Pope Pius XII in 1949, and he has received the Cross of Affiliation of the Monastery of the Visitation.

THE ALCOHOLIC BASS Do you know how the expression "Drink like a fish" started? Boyce Loving, '19, state desk reporter for the Charlottesville Daily Progress, knows.

It was his tale of an alcoholi c bass, hooke:l by a fisherman, revived with a drink from the fisherman's flask, tossed back in the pond only ultimately to die an untimely

death, that earned for Loving the first place award in feature writing from the Virginia Press Association.

I think that college grads should consider that all business will be world-wide, and that young people should think in world-wide terms."

With Zip Code No.

esthampton News 1919Greetings, once again! Remember me? From time to time, I will "pop" up . Do hope to have a regular correspondent for you before too long. We want to thank Viginia Snead for writing for us for several years. Her letters were always interesting.

Esther Jett and I have just finished our letters to all of you reminding you of the need for our gift to the Alumnae Fund. I throughly enjoyed my part of the correspondence.

Felt as though I'd had a real chat with each one to whom I wrote, howbeit, a one-sided chat. How about making it complete, and drop us a line to let us know what you are doing. In case I find someone who will do this job, I will send your letters along for their information.

I enjoyed receiving letters from Mildred McDanel and Virginia Snead, both with reference to the letters to be written. It is good to have alert scouts who keep you in touch.

Virginia also wrote that the dinner meeting held in the old dining hall on Feb. 23 was attended by a goodly number of class representatives, including Virginia, Mildred, Tommy, Elizabeth Gaines, and Frances Sutton. Some of the activities which are occupying Virginia's time since retiring from her teaching are The Homemakers Club, Garden Club, D.A.R., substitute teaching when she can, Anti-Poverty Program, plus a few other things, in addition to being co ncerned with the "sick and ailing" family connections.

Mildred seems to have been a "busy little bee" also. She writes that she has knitted 34 sweaters! She also tells us that Ralph will retire from his professorship in June. We are sure that he will be greatly missed in his department.

We have enjoyed the Women's Forum sponsored by Miller and Roads at the John Marshall Hotel. It has been our privilege to attend for several years. The speakers are always outstanding, and usually we have a little visit with some of the members of " 1919 "-us ually Tommy, Virginia Snead, and Ship, and Florence Decker from 1917.

I still have the "travel urge", and last Sept. was able to indulge it somewhat. There were four of us who drove up through Pennsylvania, into New England, following the coast nmth from Portsmouth, N. H. via Bar Harbor to St. John, N.B. We took the ferry to Digby and drove to Halifax, N. S., again following the coast northward and over to Antigonish, via the Canso Causeway to Cape Breton Isla nd, and traveling around the island from west to east on the Cabot Trail. I can recommend it as a beautiful trip, if anyone is interested . We returned to the States via northern Canada, with a crossing of the St. John River into Houlton, Maine, just in time to witness the potato har vest in Aristook County. We crossed back into Canada at Edmundston and drove to Rivier -duLoup. From there, we followed the St. Lawrence down to Quebec and Montreal with stop-overs in both cities. On leaving Canada, we returned through New England, following Rt. 7 through the White and Green Mountains and the Berkshires.

Of course, no antique shop was slighted along the way, if we could help it!

I had about a 4,000 mile trip by the time Norfolk was reac hed, and it was fun!

1921The idea of close-ups of members of the Class of '21 came from the small attendance of our 45th Reunion last June . The enthusiastic reception of Theresa Pollak 's discussion what she has been doing in her painting and teaching (Fall Bulletin) indicated that renewing ties with our classmates would be welcomed.

We began, therefore, with a Class Profile in the Winter Bulletin . Close-ups start with this issue . Our spotlight falls on our Class President , Alice Willi ams Whitley; our Medical Doctor, Virginia Lane; and our world-minded Ruth Henderson . Other close-ups will follow, as we plan to spotlight each-if life lasts so long.

Whitwil in Loudoun County is the home of Alice Williams and her husband, Fairfield Whitley . In approaching it, one breathes more deeply, hears the birds sing , looks up in to the trees and out toward the blue mountains, and anticipates with relish the hospitality of landed folk.

The Whitleys bought the Williams family home at the death of Alice 's mother , in 1949.

Previously, Fair had practiced law in Norfolk and had served for twelve years as City Attorney for the area that is now the new city of Chesapeake .

Alice and Fair operated Whitwil as a dairy farm until a residential subdivision in 1965 came encroachingly near. They sold their acreage, but kept the home and the adjacent property .

Now Alice teaches Latin at nearby Loudoun Valley High School, having given up her earlier subject of mathematics. Fair cures hams commercially, using his own combination recipe .

He grew up in the famous area of Smithfield.

About teaching, Alice says, "The most convincing evidence that we believe in the permanency of our world is that we continue the effort of educating youth ... We of today draw our greatest inspiration from our heritage of the classics ...

From those who have gone before us, we have gained the knowledge that enables us to see the future ."

Many pictures of Alice's sister, Jo, and her family are at Whitwil. Josephine and her husband, Frank Sant, died several years ago. At the time of his death, Dr. Sant was Rector of th e Church of St . Michael and St. George in St. Louis. Two fine sons, Bill and John, and their families are continuing the Williams-Sant heritage .

In the community life of Loudoun County, the Whitl eys are active in church, hospital, and educational activities; in the historical society, the association of the arts. As for living, Alice says, "There is no place like Loudoun County," and you agree when enjoying her hospitalit y in airy and spacious Whitwil with its shaded lawn, great trees, and quantity of boxwood , magnolia , and holly.

What does Dr. Virginia Lane say about women doctors? "Not anywhere near enough of them. Women have great capacity for this field. Intellectually, they are well equipped. Emotionally, they are exceptionally fitted for the human demands of the doctor 's life. Furthermore, in this, as in other fields of endeavor, women should pursue career and marriage -o f course, adjusting career activities to the needs of the family."

In her junior year at Westhampton , Virginia knew she wanted to dedicate her life to helping people-physically and spiritually.

Beco ming a medical missionary seemed to be a way to achieve that goal. Also, she thought about being a nurse, training at Johns Hopkins ' Schoo l of Nursing. Back in '21, however, funds

for continuing education were not available as tbey are today.

The summer after graduation was one of Chautauqua where she, fun and thinking-at the Newton girls, Varina Elliott and girls from ocher colleges were " in " by waiting on tables and keeping guests happy .

In the fall, Virginia began two years of training in missions, at tbe WMU Louisville Training School, which is now incorporated in tbe Southern Baptist Seminary. As this period drew to a close, she chose a longer goal and entered Woman's Medical College even though this meant two in Philadelphia summers back on the campus of the University of Richmond for more chemistry .

She entered WMC in the fall of 1923, and devoted the next five years to training and loyalty to education in medicine. Virginia's her professional school shows in her eyes when teachers as sbe refers to such inspirational Dr. Catherine Macfarlane, Dr. Frieda Baumann, and others .

After a year of internship at the Woman's Hospital in Philadelphia, Virginia returned to WMC and served six years as Associate in the field of Clinical Obstetrics. Next, she engaged in general practice in the District of Columbia and in Virginia, 1935-39.

When an appeal was made to her to be resident physician at the Northfield School for Girls at Ease Northfield, Mass., she accepted.

Again, Virginia's eyes sparkle when she talks of the school, with its 1,000-acre campus that includes the birthplace and the home of Dr. Dwight L. Moody. She speaks with verve about her work there daily with 500 girls, biweekly with 500 boys. The summers of these seven years, she spent in girls ' camps in Maine, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania.

As tbe snow of tbe winter of 1946 settled in, a warm invitation came from the President of Mississippi State College for Women. Virginia turned Southward and for the next eight years, she was resident physician at MSCW. Her mother joined her in Columbus .

In 1954, Virginia accepted a new post at College in Blue Mountain, Blue Mountain Miss. Here in this Baptist College, she taught hygiene and cared for the physical needs of students and faculty. She really glows when she tells about her 12 years as part of the life of chis College--10 years as physician and the last two and currently as a retired faculty member. This institution, Virginia points out, imparts to students an exceptional spirituality during their training in the ways and the wisdom of Christianity.

Highly committed to the purpose of the for Christi an women prepare Coll ege-to to us, is Lane, Virginia motherhood-Dr. influence in the lives herself a motivating of the young women and the ministerial stu dents who build much of their life strength during their college days at Blue Mountain.

Virginia is one of those who have contributed of a attainment to this secular college's of position of eminence in the percentage graduates whose life work is religious endeavor . acFree now from full-time professional tivities, Virginia continues those of her church gardenand her vegetable-azalea-chrysanthemum ing. Her new venture of remodeling a large house into several apartments for married students and faculty will assure continuation of her life's interest in youth, and their preparation for the future.

7922It's reunion time again! Yes, we 're celebrat ing our 45th May 12-14th. On Friday evening we'll all go to Louise Shipman Hatz's home in West Point for a buffet supper. You remember how lovelv it was when we were there in '57.

On Saturday we'll join all the ocher alumnae

for a full day at the college, and on Sunday morning we'll meet at Leslie Booker's for breakfast. From all accounts many of our classmates will be returning, so be sure you will be in the group.

Did you know chat '22 has an artist and a world traveller in the person of Elsa Wallerstein Gerst of Norfolk? She started painting 10 years ago, but has won awards, given shows at art galleries, is being "collected." Elsa travelled to Greece for two months this past spring, to Italy, to Rio and other parts of Brazil. And she will leave in May for the Orient with a group from the Philaclelpbia museum. It seems to me Elsa is having a great time.

I am writing this during spring vacation here at Radford College. I have stayed here to tak e care of the foreign girls and those from such a distance they can't go home . I have girls from Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, Los Angeles. They are an interesting group. During this leisure time they sometimes cook their native dishes, and most graciously invite me to join the p'lrty.

My little grandson, Thomas Kent, Jr., will be christened Easter Sunday.

I shall leave March 27 for Newport News and Old Point for a short visit with the Dr. Waverly Payne family and for the state DAR conference. I always see old college friends at this state meeting, and I shall love being with Lafayette again. She was LaFayette Johnson '21.

Irene Summers Stoneman bas returned from a three-week stay in Florida.

I had some notes from some of '22, who knew of my mother's death, March 7. She was 92, but bad retained her sparkle, her love-oflife. She simply stopped breathing .

My mother's death prevented my going to Averett College, March 8, to a Dean-Hostess meeting. I bad looked forward co going because it was to Mary Fugate 's college. The women who went brought back glowing reports of the stimulating program and the beautiful luncheon which Mary bad arranged for them.

1925Gladys Wright Cocke sent me a Christmas letter she received from Billy Spangler Rogers of 335 Carlton Street, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109, with the thought that I might use some of the news in the next article for the bulletin. At the time that Billy wrote, she and her husband, Dave, were in Tucson with their travel trailer.

They enjoy traveling and seeing the wonderful desert country whenever time permits. If time works out, tbey may come East this summer, but tbey do not know if they will get to Va. Billy spent last summer teaching at Nevada Southern University. Recently she has been asked to develop an in-service series to be included in her Organization of School Libraries course.

Another busy member of '25 is Gladys Wright Cocke. When she wrote to me in Feb., she was getting ready to go to the Southeastern meeting of the Woman's Society Jurisdiction and the of Christian Service in Nashville, following week she was to attend an Orientation Seminar for their Regional School of Christian Mission in Lincoln, Nebraska . She is on the Broad of Trustees of Ferrum Junior College and is serving this year as dean of the Middle Atlantic Regional School to be held at West Virginia Wesleyan College from June 18-23. just a few Gladys lives in Fredericksburg blocks from her son and his family. Her grandchildren- Thomas F. IV, 8 years, Carolyn, 3, and Amy Susan, 20 months - think that she is away from borne a great deal , and they seem to be right.

Anne Gordon Steward and Camp expect to be in Va. in July. Camp has promised to give some lectures at Mountain Lake Biological Station. After chat, they will probably do a bit of roaming to get a line on localities in which they might be interested, as they are thinking of retirement years and feel that they may like those to be in Va.

(2 1]

I note that the present address of Miss Gary Turner is unknown. If a member of '25, or anyone else, could furnish the Alumnae Office with Gary 's address, I know that it would be appreciated.

After 20 years of service in the Division of School Libraries and Texbooks of the State Department of Education, I expect to retire on April 1. My sister and I are planning to take a trip abroad in May. We will visit relatives in England and take a tour of cbe continent (eight countries). Later on we hope to visit other parts of the U.S.A., Naturally, I am looking forward to my retirement.

1929We wish to express our sympathy to Willie Jane Smith and Virginia Yeaman , who have recently lost their mothers. Virginia is recovering from major surgery and doing fine. le has been a real treat to have Elizabeth Hale back in Va. speaking in our churches and visiting in our homes. She had a tight schedule and her time was limited, but she gave generously of herself in the time available. We wish as she leaves for Malaysia her Godspeed in April.

Margaret Rudd had an article published in the Jan. issue of the Journal of Inter-American Studies. I'm sorry I don't know the subject of the article, but "Jimmie's" sister, Ione Wright, who is Editor of the Journal, wrote "Jimmie" it was written in a "quiet distinguished fashion."

Congratulations, Margaret!

I bad a long letter from Mary Wright, who is enjoying staying home this year. She says she won't admit to retirement yet, it sounds too final. She wrote me that she had had a visit from Billye Williams Thomas and Mildred Pope Andersen. Billye and George were visiting tbe Andersens in their lovely new home in Roanoke, before leaving for Florence, Italy to visit their daughter Anne Lee and her husband . They will be gone several months visiting in Italy, Greece, and several other countries before returning to Durham.

Trudi Ryland Harlan and her husband are now at the University of Delaware, where he is head of the Sociology Department.

It 's good to have news of you and from you.

Please keep it coming.

1930How does it seem to head the list in amount of contribution to the 1965-1966 A lumn ae Fund? Wouldn't it be even better if we could increase our percentage of participation? After the work of Margaret Oliver Saunders and others, let's hope we will.

Frances Willis Overton hoped to have all her family with her for Christmas. From her we learned that Dorothy Abbott Wood's daughter, I:ee, has been named as Freshman representative to the May Court at Salem College in N. C. Dode's son, Nat, was home from Viet Nam for the holidays.

MARY C. GOTAAS:SCHOLAR-TEACHER

By JEAN GRAY WRIGHT

Those of us who used to hear every day the hurr ying foots teps of Mary Gotaas along the corridors of North Court knew that there was never enough time for her to carry out the intense purpose that drove her rapid footsteps. Her bubbling speech whose current rushed headlon g over all rocks of interruption sometimes made astounded Freshmen wonder whether this was French, English, or a new language created by this slim, blond lady who still seemed borne along by a strong wind from her native Dakota .

For thirteen years Mary Gotaas was a vital force in the Mod ern Langua ge Department of Westh ampton College. Perhaps some intuitio n that her life would be broken before completion made her drive herself and her students toward a goal of scholarly perfection. This goal kept many a French major breathless en route but deeply grateful to a prodding professor when she realized in the first throes of gra duate work or teaching how well armed she was in both method and material.

1932The growt h and improvement of the Zephia and Charles Scarborough are thrilled Modern Language Department of the college over the birth of their first grandchild, a son, was a major concern. Honors work was born Janu ary 5, to Charles Jr. and Nancy

(Westhampton '64), who make their home in College Park, Maryland. Charles Jr. is finishing up his requirements for his Master's Degree in Comparative Literature. Equal joy was shared by her parents when their daughter, Zephia, a senior at George Wythe High School in Richmond was the winner of the National Council of Teachers of English award for excellence in writing. There were nine Virginia winners and Zephia was the only one from the Richmond area.

We extend our deepest sympathy to Elizabeth Cone Brauberger in the loss of her father and also to Buena Perkins Meyers in the loss of her mother. Buena flew here from Portland, Oregon for the funeral. Hugh is on sabbatical leave and was in Portlnd lecturing. He is due to join

organized for those who might profit from it. Establishing procedur e in the newly set up language laboratory, supervision of this program , procuring annua lly foreign students as laboratory instructors, all this occupied much of her time . It was often time that she would have preferred to spend on scholarly research or keeping up with th e latest publications .

Betterment of the whole University was just as much a concern. Miss Gotaas was an active member of the W .C. Reading Room Committee, the University Library Commit tee, and had devoted much time to the SelfStudy Library Committee. A lasting evidence of her realization of an important need of the University will be the large portion of her excellent French library whi ch she has left to the W .C. Reacling Room. For two years she was deeply involved in the Univer sity Curriculum Committee, urging a better balanced choice of required subjects.

Her own range of interests was wide : theatre , music, travel, public affairs. Durin g her many stays in Paris , days were spent in the National Library mostly, with visits to exhibition s, museums, or those beautiful and historic spots along the Seine which she loved so well. Evenings were spent at the opera, concerts, theatre, seeing the latest plays of Onesco, Anouilh , or the cla<sics of Moliere and Racine at the Comedie Fran c;:aise . When we travelled one summer in Portugal , I remember what pleasure she derived from the elaborate baroque architecture, the picturesque fishing villages along the rocky coast, and how much amusement from her efforts to speak Porh1guese. Other summers she visited relatives in Norway , where again she spoke the tongue . Language everywhere meant special adventure for her .

No one will of course be able to fill the place she made for herself at Westhampton through her energy, her lively interest in all phases of the college, her efforts to attain scholarly perfection for herself and her students. It is fitting that in accordance with her wishes her family is establishing a Modern Language Scholarship at Westhampton with the hope that Mary Gotaas' ideals of character and scholar ship , of purpos e in life , may be carried on.

1942Biggest news of course is that a letter has gone out to all of you (in the fund drive one) outlining our plans for reunion.

1943Here is the second installment of the flood of news that has come in since October.

Though some of it may be a bit old by the time you read it in the Bulletin, at least it will be new to most of you.

From Peggy Kyle Anderton, in Toronto, Canada: "Roland was transferred to Toronto in June, and the family moved in Sept. He is now in charge of his company's claims offices for all of Canada and thus travels considerably. Donna, our oldest daughter, spent the summer as a camp counselor in Maine, and is now in her senior year at Drew in Madison, Wisc. Alice, the youngest, spent part of last summer studying Spanish and living with a native family in Mexico. Barry, our son, has graduated from high school and is studying electronics at a provincial school in Canada ."

Evelyn Allen Krause writes from Bon Air, Va.: " Charles is now principal of the Charles City High School and I am teaching English there. Young Charles is at RPI School of Music.

He toured Europe last summer with the U.S.A. All Student Band, playing the tuba."

Puff Poteat Humbert sends word from Richmond: "We spent a wonderful summer at our New Hampshire farm house, where three of my sisters, ( one from Taipei) and families were together with my parents for the first time in ten years. Priscilla Anne is a freshman at Westhampton, as are also the daughters of Louise Wiley Willis and Jayne Maire Massey. I am still teaching science at Collegiate."

Evelyn Flax Mirmelstein writes from Newport News, Va . that her son John is a junior at the University of Richmond, and her daughter Jean is in the seventh grade. "Participation in many civic groups, helping in Cyril's office when needed, and keeping house have been my agenda for the past 23 years."

Lowaita Rowland Martin is now living at Millboro, Va., having recently returned from Calif. She writes: "If anyone is out here, in the depths of the mountains, I'd love to see them. However I understand that we are pretty well buried from the first of Dec. through Feb." Her son, 13, is with her .

Jo Smith Parker, in Greensboro, N. C., is also deeply involved in PT A, Sunday School, and Girl Scout activities. Jo, who has a nine year old daughter, Anne, writes "I must add that I do enjoy it after so many years of working and no children."

Barbara Krug Evans, whose husband works for DuPont in Kinston, N . C., now has five children: Fred, a sophomore at Duke; Steve, who is in the running for a Morehead scholarship for UNC; Robbie, an ardent sportsman in Kinston Junior High School; Jean, a young but devoted horsewoman, and David, three, who is in nursery school.

Kay Weber McClellan sends a long letter from Garden City, N. Y. She and her husband, who is with Texas Gulf Sulphur Company, had just returned from a trip to the company's eastern N. C. plant, and Kay was full of enthusiasm for the sights of the Carolina coast and the future of Texas Gulf Sulphur in that area. She also writes that her daughter, Katy, is a sophomore at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pa., and that Kay, herself, is constantly involved in community, church, and school affairs like every good Westhamptonite.

From June Hargrove Cornwall comes the word that her daughter, Pat, has been accepted at Hollins. June is doing a splendid job as head of the Upper School at St. Catherine 's in Richmond, a position she took several years ago. She also has a [econd daughter in the sixth grade.

Harriett Lewis Goodman writes from Rich-

mond that her daughter, Winnie, will be married in June, and plans to live in Williamsburg where her husband will be the sports publicity director for William and Mary College. Harriett has two other children, Bob, a junior at Thomas Jefferson High School, and Mike, who is twelve .

One final item for this newsletter: Fay Carpenter Kirchman writes from Dayton, Md. to report that she sent the scrapbook on to Althea Johnston Black in Richmond in Nov., 1964, and she has the insurance receipt to prove it!

I think that this is the first time we have heard from Fay in some time and while we haven 't yet located the scrapbook, it was good to make contact with an important member of the class of '43.

This almost exhausts the supply of news that came in last fall. I still have a few letters and cards that have not been reported on, but now is the time for the rest of you to send in that post card. I plan to be in Richmond for the May alumnae meeting and hope to see some of you there, but most of you will need to write to communicate. Please don't wait too long. The next letter is due on June 10.

MRS. W. D. MOORE (Anne Tucker) Box 175, Coats, N. C.

1944According to how old it makes you feel today our letter brings exciting ( depressing) news. Our beautiful class baby Barbara Louise Stansbury is now Mrs. Robert Purks Maccubbin. Barbie was married in Bruton Parish Church, Williamsburg, on Jan. 28 and Ann (Burcher) says, "Believe me-it is aging t::> be 'mother of the bride.' " Barbie 's husband teaches English at William and Mary and she will graduate in June . Warren, of course, gave her away and Susan was maid of honor and Elizabeth Ann was her sister's junior bridesmaid.

Ann and Warren's son, Winn, who is 19, is now a Marine and Susan, 17, will be at Westhampton next year.

Ann and the other Richmond 44's have begun working on Alumnae Fund letters . Do wish you would get your contributions in early this year and make their job easy. We had a rather poor 37% participation last year; so let's see if we can't improve on that. I know from experience that we often fail to contribute because of procrastination so how about sitting down now and writing your check.

Christmas mail was full of notes from you and last week here came another nice letter from Dot Hill. Now don't forget me in July when all this news will be old. Did you know that Betsy Rice has become a teacher of math with the county schools near Richmond? Kay (Hanley) Wery has moved back to Honolulu and found "an old but comfortable house on a hillside overlooking the city and ocean, with all the peace and quiet of the country but only 15-20 minutes from our jobs." Her address is

1522-C Alewa Drive, Honolulu, Hawaii 96817.

Kay, I had hoped that I might see you this summer, but things have not worked out so far.

I know you will be saddened as I was to know that Juanita (Tiller) Elmquist's husband has been ill and hospitalized for some time.

Nita has just bought a home near Billy Jane in W estham and she and nine year old Randy stay busy with Nita teaching at John Marshall High School. Nita says, "Last summer I took a course at the University of Richmond. Memories flooded in of Westhampton days. Life is ever so busy-but I enjoy my work, my home and Randy most of all. These children give us a real purpose for living, don't they?"

Nita is Mrs. Russell E. Elmquist and her new address is 7618 Bryn Mawr Road, Richmond, Va. 23229.

Heppy (Patterson) Ellis tells me she has no spectacular news but was good enough to catch us up on her family. Bobby, her oldest, is a freshman taking Busines s Administration at Memphis State. Kitty, a cheerleader, is a sop homore in high school taking all junior subjects after going to summer school. Jimmy, in the seventh grade, is a guitarist with a combo which already has had "paying" jobs. And Heppy, besides being a busy mother was involved for six months with her church bazaar which was a "tremendous success." I told you about Heppy and Lois' visits together last summer and Heppy describes Lois' nine year old Betsy as a "doll.''

Ballard Baker, Billy Jane's (Crosby) husband, was made a Circuit Court judge on July 1. He is one of three judges in the 10th Judicial Circuit. Congratulations!

Their Janet, a 10th grader, started at Douglas Freeman this fall and loves it. Bill, in the 4th grade, is on a scientific kick this year and Billy Jane hopes not to be blown up during this chemistry phase.

Frances (Kennard) Wolf was expecting Bob home on Christmas Eve after a ten-month tour on his ammunition ship in South Vietnamese waters. Babs is in college studying commercial art. Let us hear more from you, Fran.

Not knowing I had mentioned Kathy Cotton in the last letter Ruthy (Van Ness) wrote me about all her children including Kathy, 20, a junior at the U. of Conn.; Bucky, 17, a junior in high school who wants to be a lawyer; Chris, 11, a successful guitarist in a rock and roll combo known as the British Accents and Candi, 7, who "sh uns dolls for horses and dogs." Ruthy is using her artistic ability three days a week as an interior designer and repor ts that she loves it.

Our '44 sons and daughters are not only talented but also beautiful. Fleet Hill was elected to May Court at Randolph-Macon.

This is getting too long so I' 11 save the rest for the next installment . Mildred (Cox) Goode was in Charlotte for the Southern Conference Tournament last week. It was great to see them and the Dick Humberts, Tom Green and

Elaine Weil Weinberg wrote from Palo Alto, Calif. that she now has her California Teaching Credential in case she wishes to substitute, but since Palo Alto has a waiting list of qualified substitutes, it isn't easy to be called. Elaine's husband is at United Technical Center, devotes a great deal of his spare time to their synagogue, and to enjoying a small dinghy the family has acquired. Elaine has three children, Amy, 14, in 9th grade , Julie, 11, who plays the flute and climbs trees, and Jonathon, 8.

And we are finally in the new house. For the first few weeks after it was all completed, I felt as if we were living in a hotel. We lived for six weeks downstairs, with only an electric skillet and a hot plate for cooking. All of those years of camping experience paid off .

I am currently working on a Woman's Club project to study the mental health problems, needs, and community resources to meet the needs in our local public schools. I would appreciate any material available from any of you who have labored in the same vineyard in your community.

I wish all of you lived nearby so we could talk about our doings, but we don't. So write and let me have some fresh news for the next bulletin.

MRs. WARRENJ. WICKER (Marie Peachee) 1024 Highland Woods, Chapel Hill, N. C. 27514

1947So many excitrng things are going on at Westhampton.

Five years ago when we had our reunion, ground was broken for the swimming pool wing. Now that we are having our 20th you can see the completed beautiful pool and yet another hole in the ground for our long awaited and much needed Fine Arts Building. You can help in this endeavor by giving generously to the Alumnae Fund. We are committed to help provide the furnishings for the new building. By now you have heard from an alumnae worker with facts and figures .

Please heed her plea! We do so want our class to make a good showing.

I had such a nice letter from Helen Conant Grinnell just after I sent in the last letter .

She regrets that she will be unable to attend this reunion but hopes to make the 25th in 1972. She says she reads the Bulletin with great interest. She teaches math and General Science at a school in Cambridge, Mass ., for emotionally disturbed children.

Ollie Menefee Stirling wrote that during the Christmas holidays she saw Beth Decker Kimball and met Bob and Robbie. Beth's practice is somewhat limited now. She acts mainly as a consultant in children's neurological diseases. She has a combination maid and sitter for Robbie. Ollie said that Robbie is a very sturdy young man, just starting to walk, a real charmer. Beth hopes to make the reunion.

I have just one new address this time. Bev Patton Browne and her mother have sold their home in Chesterfield county and moved into

the city . They are now at 4701 Calumet Road, Richmond .

Gin Ellet had a most informative letter from Dottie James Foster. Her oldest, Darrell, will be coming to the U. of R. in Sept . He plans to study criminal law . Her other children are Richard (16), David (12) and Lynne (6) .

Dottie said that Junie had completely recovered from his broken back of last April. The doctors said they had never known anyone to recover so completely and so quickly.

This will probably be my last letter. It hardly seems possible that I've been doing these for five years . At the reunion a new class secretary will be chosen. I want to thank the many of you who have kept in touch with me or any of the group leaders. It makes the job possible. I hope the next secretary can ferret out some information from some of you who have all but disappeared from the class of '47.

Peggy Stone Cunningham, Betty Hickerson Butterworth, and Lois McClannahan Garrett attended the Alumnae Fund dinner . Thanks to them and to Mar y Jane Spivey Snead, Arlene Reynolds Schaefer, Maude Giles Mann, Mary Cross Marshall, and Jane Belk Moncure for doing the work this year. I had my first experience at the speakers' table, while the others were seated at a table with Sugar Carlton Bowman's mother . Joe received a promotion and they have moved to St. Louis from Fairfax, Va . The oldest of their three children is a senior and all are reported to be fine.

I saw the WC sister-in-law of Frances Orrell Dunn who said Flip continues to teach and

work on her Master 's. Lois had just returned from Fla. where her father had died. We were sorry her journey was such a sad one.

While speaking of sad news, let me add about Sara Bishop Wilbourne and Jack's 12year old daughter who was hit by a car . She is home from the hospital now, but in a very extensive cast due to a broken leg . Their 17-year old daughter is enter ing college in the fall. Bish said she saw Pam Burnside Gra y who has moved to a new hou se which sounded lovely . Bish continues her work at Miller and Rhoads and stays busy.

Incidentally, now I know what wo rking mothers go through, due to my br ief return to child welfare work, in the State agency which works with court committed children .

It has been interesting and different being with adults instead of "my darlin gs."

Russell Elliott Wiley has moved to Lynch burg, Va., where her husband has taken a new job. Will report her new address next time .

Doris Moore Ennis wrote tell ing of her continued activity in guidance work and we send our congratulations on her election as President of the Guidance Dept . in the VEA .

Millicent Hutchinson Taylor wrote of the Taylors ' wonderful five week trip to the West Coast and all the inter esting th ings they saw.

She had a thyroidectomy which disturbed a vocal nerve, resulting in her not being able to sing anymore . Otherwise, all is well.

Those post cards we sent out requesting news gradually pay off. Heard from Renie Barbour Fenlon who wrote of her and Pat 's children-three boys, 14, 12, and 8, and a 6-year old girl. Pat is adm inis tr ator of the hospital in Thomasville, Ga ., wher e Renie enjoys that 'ole southern living . Previousl y, we only had Pat 's hospital add r ess. Note the change on your lists .

December was a busy as well as an unpleasant month for Josephine Martens. The holidays always find Jo busy at work address• ing cards for her blind friends as well as sending greetings to them herself. On Christmas

Eve, Jo slipped on the ice and broke and crushed the two knuckles on each side of her right wrist. This meant that Jo and her mother spent most of Christmas Eve in the hospital while her wrist was being X-rayed and set. At the time the doctor put a cast on from the hand to a couple of inches above the elbow and that was in a bent position. In Feb. it was shortened to below the elbow and then it was removed in March. She has to go to the hospital now for whirlpool treatments to loosen the wrist. After missing ten weeks from work, the doctor has allowed her to return. We are so sorry to hear of your troubles, Jo! Ida Smith Hall dropped me a card from Williamsburg, Va. Her oldest child, Channing, Jr., is in the second grade and her other boy, Lesslie is three years old.

Bea Covington O'Flaherty received an interesting letter from Libby Rowse Wilson. Libby's daughter, Elisabeth, started junior high thi~ year and is very enthusiastic about the band for she is a very good flutist. Elisabeth is a Cadette Girl Scout and Libby is the assistant leader and in charge of finances. Her son, Gary, attends the new elementary school near their home and he is learning to play the clarinet. Libby and her husband, Bob, are still "hip-deep" in the coin-laundry business. They opened their third Maytag laundry last spring.

Bea and her husband, Billy, had an enjoyable trip in the fall to French Lick, Ind . Their children, Deedi, 12, and Jeff, 14, are very happy in their new school. In fact, Jeff made the Varsity Basketball Team! Bea was in the "Brides Thru The Years" Fashion Show in April for the Richmond Club .

Our sympathy is extended to Ann Dorsey James whose father died and to Charlotte Westervelt Bispham whose father passed away while visiting her.

Did you hear from your group leader this spring? If not, won't you drop me a line so we will be sure to have some news about you in the next Bulletin?

Sue Matthews Wright sent her new address: Carlton Scott Apts., Apt. 22, Blacksburg, Va. Ellen Matlick Klein and Peter were visited

[ 31 }

in January by Howard and Carol Snellenberg Kaufman, who were in New York for a few days. They talked for hours and thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Peter likes his work and recently received a nice promotion. Amy, 3, is eager to enter nursery school in Sept.

Arlene Olson Jones is boning up on all kinds of Latin American geography this year to keep up with her sixth grade class. Rumor has it that her last year's contempt for the California school system has mellowed slightly.

Jackie Connell Atkinson "is teaching a Sunday School class of eighth grade girls this year.

Their pseudo-sophistication is making old women out of them before their time! My year as Ways and Means Chairman of the Jr. Woman's Club is approaching its end. Hallelujah! We borrowed an idea from the Clearwater J.W.C. and on March 11 are having a luncheon-fashion show (11 stores to participate) to honor Waynesboro's Outstanding Woman."

A nice long letter came from Mary Marlowe Price. She's Membership Chairman in her J.W.C. and they've taken in 20 new members this year, "so it's been quite difficult to get everyone active and to feel at home. Jay and I are staunch VPI fans. We traveled to every football game last fall-from New Orleans to Memphis. We've been to the home basketball games this winter. Jay stepped down as judge in July to go into full time law practice. We both like this arrangement better-no more 2 A.M. phone calls or people telling me their problems everytime I answered the phone.

Right now we're working on a $4½ million school bond issue. Jenny was four in Sept.

'66, and Kim was 3 in Feb. '67. I hope to get them really swimming this summer. We have a marvelous time at the swim club and the kids love the water."

Eileen McCutcheon's engagement to Harold Hollans has been announced. They met several years ago at Becky Keller Ottinger's wedding.

Harold's from Arlington.

Margaret Griffin Thompson and Art have signed up for a garden plot on the base "but it's been so cold we haven't been able to work on it . I haven't had much luck with growing flowers so I don't know how a vegetable garden will turn out."

Eileen Cordle visited with Peggy Yarbrough Boulden the first of the year and got to see Edward and Dick in full regalia, red fringe and all! They are in Indian Guides and really enjoy it.

Peg and Mr. and Mrs. Dulin were in Texas in Feb. for a couple of weeks ' visit with Barbara Dulin Polis and Charlie. Barb writes, "Well, you've seen those bibs with 'My grandma spoils me' on them. Wish I could find one with 'My aunt spoils me'! We did have a great time. Chuck is 4 and a real cowboy, having lived most of his life in Texas and being born a Texan! Laurie is a doll-black hair and brown eyes-looks no kin to Chuck with his blue eyes and brown hair. I am still bowling and will keep busy next year too, as I have been appointed treasurer of our hospital wives group from Welford Hall Hospital."

Ten of us enjoyed a coffee at Bonnie Lewis Haynie 's on March 6-Bev Eubank Evans, Nancy Phillips, Mary Trew Biddlecomb Lindquist, Caroline Massey Shreve, Julia Jett Shepherd, Ruth Adkins Hill, Lilalee Guerrant Dollard, Frankie Macgowan, and me. Elizabeth Ramos Dunkum dropped in later. The occasion was to promote the Alumnae Fund. Incidentally, we had a wonderful dinner at W .C. tooalong with Janice Dowdy Briggs, Jean Martin Wyndham, and Eileen McCutcheon-so much delicious food that even I almost had to turn down the dessert! Martha, we thought about you as we ate the shrimp cocktail! We really enjoyed the opportunity to visit.

Lost But Not Forgotten: Margaret Spencer

Hernandez writes, "I was going over The JVeb, and wondering what has become of so many of our old friends. Does anyone know what became of our exchange students, Marta and Uma? Mary Anne Williams Haske? Ellen Paschall Johnson?" Jackie Atkinson asks, "Has anyone heard from Doris Turner Whitestone or learned her address?" We also need some news about Phyllis Ailsworth, Emily Tucker, Ginger Morgan, Elaine Crabtree, Elaine Pettingill Rigby, and Jehane Flint Taylor. Do enlighten us if you know anything interesting about them.

A funny thing happened on my way to the mailbox: my mailman had two last-minute letters. Jo Edwards Mierke says, "Edward travels much more than I prefer but not for long at a time. He is still going to graduate school at night and working for the Navy in the day."

B. B. Harvey Strum chaperoned a group of Marymount girls to New York in March to look over Marymount College. This has almost become an annual trip with B. B. and the girls always enjoy visiting the big city. Betsy is learning a great deal in nursery school, and she and Katherine Evans (Bev's older daughter) are in a dancing school class together.

Bev Eubank Evans and Tommy are busy preparing to move the first of April to 9201 Avalon Drive, Richmond-(Bev says it's "just 3 houses up the street")-whenever you see Bev she's shopping for something: wallpaper, tile, paint, furniture, accessories.

That's it. Send news during April to your group leaders. They are wonderful you know it?! Thanks for all the mail!

MRS. RALPH L. HAGA, JR. (Carolyn Nash) 3609 Chamberlayne Ave., Richmond, Va.

1960I was delighted to receive so many letters this time. Thank you all for remembering to write, and a special thanks to those who said such nice things about my column. Our classmates continue to move around so let me bring you up to date on those changes.

I received a nice letter from Ree Grasty Harris notifing us that they have moved "back East." After selling their home in Lincoln, Nebraska, the Harris' arrived in Abington, Pa. at 1943 Guernsey Ave. Dick joined IRC, Inc. in Philadelphia as Corporate Industrial Engineer in Nov. Ree's two sons, Ricky, 3, and David, 18 months, keep her quite busy.

Ree requests that any classmates in the Philadelphia area please look her up.

Edith Jones Middelton's new address is Rt . 1, Leesburg, Va. During the summer of 1965, the Middletons sold their home and bought their present house in the country. Their neighbors consist of "cows, ponies and horses, actually more animals than people," reports Edith. That summer Don received his master's in education from George Washington University. He is teaching ninth grade English at Herndon High School in Fairfax County.

Last Thanksgiving he went to Houston, Texas, as a representative from the county to the National English Teachers' Convention. Edith and Don are proud of their two sons: Robert, 3 and Brook, 1.

Ethel Burton Lee and David have left Richmond and are living at 428 Judson Dr., Wake Forest, N. C., where David is back in school and working toward his Ph.D. Audrey Nuckolls Reynolds, Frank, and Heidi, their collie pup, have moved into a new house and their address is Rt. 3, Box 143C, Glen Allen, Va. Mary Frances Gibbs became Mrs. George Lee Irwin, III on Dec. 30, and after a wedding trip to the Caribbean, the Irvins settled down in their new home, complete with pool, at 625 Gondoliere Ave., Coral Gables, Fla. George

[ 32]

is assistant professor of surgery at the University of Miami. Mary Frances reports that they are enjoying the warm climate and she has found time to take tennis lessons along with housekeeping.

Bonnie Clark Rice and Ray are living within view of the D. C. skyline at 1224 N. Mead, Apt. 20 in Arlington, Va. She is a school psychologist in the Arlington County schools, serving as a consultant to six elementary schools.

She reports she is "delighted with the variety of experiences and interests it provides." In her spare time, Bonnie is learning to sew. Ray is a staff accountant with a CPA firm, RoiceWaterhouse & Co. The Rices are thoroughly enjoying the cultural and social advantages of the Washington area.

I learned some news of Miriam Rothwell Livermon through Bonnie. Miriam and Bill are living in a suburb of Danville with their two daughters and a son. The Livermons are delighted with the role of preacher and wife.

Their address is Rt . 5, Box 201, Danville.

I also learned that Joyce "Birdie" Birdsall has completed her bachelor of science degree in nursing at Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.

Another couple to move is the Sam Jones'.

Sue Ludington Jones wrote that with one month's notice, they pulled up roots in Poroporone and moved to 4 Riverdale Dr., Hampton, Va. Sam is now pastor of a mission just off Langley Air Force Base. The mission is growing fast and they hope to begin a new building soon and take steps toward constituting a church. One very interesting part of their work at the mission is their ministry to the deaf. Sue, Sam and the other teachers are learning a little of the sign language and may become interpreters. The deaf class comes from all over the Peninsula and they are wonderful students, "quite patient with our slow efforts to communicate with sign," reports Sue. Sue is also holding down the job of secretary for the supervisors in the Hampton School System. Since the mission was only six months old when they came, there was no parsonage, so they are buying a house and "enjoying that experience except for the yard work, which at the present neither of us has time for," writes Sue. Melissa Granger Mayo writes that the Mayos are settled in Brunswick, Ga. "We especiaOy enjoy being only a few minutes from the beaches.

Since we are close to the Florida line, we enjoy going to Daytona Beach several weekends a year." Edwin is in general practice with two partners, and they are anxiously awaiting the opening of their new office building on the first of April. The Mayos are also building a new house which they will move into in May. Melissa announces that this will be a permanent address for them at last: 2910 Wildwood Dr. Elizabeth Mayo is 5 years old and enjoys kindergarten. Laura, 3 is the lively one in the household. The Mayos hope to come to Va. in June since Edwin's medical school class celebrates a 5th reunion then. Melissa says she wants very much to talk with some old classmates while in Richmond if time permits.

Good news! We have found Nancy Rosenberger Weems. Just by chance, Peggy Gore Sykes ran into her while shopping. The Weems have moved back to the Washington area and are living at 7120 Catlett St. Springfield, Va. Eddie is working with a consulting firm in Kensington, Md. working with computers.

Peggy says she keeps busy with home and church. Bill is finishing a room in their basement.

Now let's hear from the West Coast. Skiing seems to be the favorite sport out that way and most of our classmates are trying their hand at it. Dru Young skied at Squaw Valley early in the season.

Dodie Tyrell spent Christmas and New Year's

skiing at Mammoth Mountain in the Sierras and then spent nine days skiing in Utah. Dodie and friends flew co Salt Lake City and drove up to Park City which is a semi-ghost town from the 1869 silver rush days. the streets was like walking "Walking through a movie set----only it was real as can be," says Dodie . "Saloons, hotels, the sheriff's office, boarding houses, general store, and ice cream parlor----all untouched from the last century. The ski runs themselves wind down through the deserted mining complex on the mount~in~ide and past the crumbling, boarded up butldmgs where the miners lived. It was quite _a differen~ place to ski!" Dodie also plans to sk1 at Yosemtte. She reports that Californians have enjoyed a very pleasant winter.

Jean Chou Lee made a trip to Santa Barbara to visit her sister and she and Tun are planning a visit to the mountains in the next few weeks to give B.J. his first experience with show. Jean visited with Lynn Stephenson Cox '61 recently and the two girls attended an AAUW luncheon together.

Ruthi Greenfield Zinn and Steve made a recent trip to Washington D.C. so that Steve could talk with Public Health Service officials. He is scheduled to enter that Service in July. The Zinns combined business with pleasure by staying with Kitty Whitby Fiege and John for four lei sure l y days. John will be studying at Columbia next year and the Fieges visited with the Zinns and Gloria Viegner Price and George while they were in that area making arrangements at Columbia. While in D. C., Ruthi talked with Lynn Lewis Cummins on the phone.

Lynn said they love Damascus; it's a tiny town and they have hayseed growing out of their ears. But John is very happy with his church and has an active congregation.

Jeanne Kosko Light and son George Evans left their sunny Fla. homeland behind and made the trip to Roanoke, Va. to visit with Jeanne's family for a week the first of April. Robley joined them and they went on to Chicago where Robley attended biochemistry meetings.

From there the Lights went on to the University of Ill. in Urbanna where Robley will be on the research faculty until the end of June. Robley was given a travel grant to attend the International Congress of Biochemists which meets in Tokyo and the Lights will fly from New York via Chicago and Seattle on Aug. 17 for a two-week stay there. They were lucky enough to rent their house in Tally to a state senator as the legislature is in session during that time.

Jeanne says she is in a panic, not knowing "whet her to worry about getting packed or storing furniture or getting shots!"

Clare Earl Ahlers writes that David has taken a job in New York City with Banker's Trust Co. and they will be moving in June or July. The process of house-hunting will begin for the Ahlers in late spring and may take them as far as Conn. since they prefer to live out of the city. They are getting very anxious to make the move and get settled but "the small matter of the thesis has to be taken care of first" writes Clare. She will be taking over as clas; secretary with the fall issue so I will be certain to inform you of her new address.

Boating season is just around the bend, and none could be happier than Ph yllis Jenkins Polhe1;1us and Bob. Phyllis finally stopped opposmg the purchase of a sail boat and is actually excited about it. "The water is Long Island's biggest asset, so we might as well take advantage of it", writes Phyllis. They decided on an Ensign, a 22-foot day sailer, racing sloop.

However, Bob may not have much time to sail since he has taken on a government contract job on the side. Phyllis received a letter from Sally Evans Hayes who hopes to visit Long Island while Jim is away flying .

Wanda Faulka Carter, son Chris, 3, and David went skiing in New York last Feb. and were snowed in for a week! Last April they enjoyed two lovely weeks at Cocoa Beach near

STUDENTS CELEBRATE FINE ARTS FESTIVAL Spring '67 brought another first to the University of Richmond as the students presented a fine arts festival April 3-8.

Inspired by the rapidly-rising Fine Arts Building on the Westhampton campus, students planned a week of cultural activities under the leadership of Mrs. Jeanne Begien Campbell of the University art faculty.

Musical events ranged from an organ recital by Miss Suzanne Kidd of the music faculty to a folk concert and a jazz mass.

The film "Orphee," a surrealist adaptation by Jean Cocteau of "Orpheus;" two student produced plays; a modern dance performance by Orchesis, and a panel discussion on "What's New in the Arts" were other highlights of the week.

Special art exhibitions featured photographs by Neil Beitzel; graphics by Fred Brandt, Harry Robertson and Sister Mary Cori ta; and paintings by Bill Slater as well as a showing of faculty and student work.

Culminating the festival was an avantgarde film presented by faculty members from Richmond Professional Institute. Entitled "Bird Park Lake," the film used three screens simultaneously plus live actors.

Mrs. Campbell commended the students for their "vision and hard work" in bringing a full week of special cultural events to the campus.

Cape Kennedy. In June '66, the Carters, along with another couple and two children, left to Calif. Mrs. Faulkner, drive to Pasadena, Wanda's mother, went along , too. David, who is employed by NASA, was going out to the Lab for the Lunar Orbiter Jet Propulsion Launches as a mission adviser. The trip out was much fun, especially since the two cars were able to communicate via walkie-talkies. Once in Pasadena, the couples were lucky enough to find apartments in the same building. They had the pool to themselves since the other tenants were adults and most of them worked.

The Carters did lots of travelling and sightseeing while on the West Coast. Just to mention a few, they visited Disneyland, Sequoia and Yosemite National Parks, San Francisco, Seattle, the Grand Canyon, the Petrified Forrest, the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, Lake Tahoe, and Yellowstone National Park. They returned home in late fall. David travels quite a bit, so Wanda tries to keep as busy as possible.

Woman's Club work and teaching piano lessons are two of her favorite part-time activities.

Wanda says she does miss teaching school. but she loves to travel and has her hopes up for a return trip to Pasadena in May. Rozv Weinstein Rottenberg stopped by to see Joan Silverstein Zimmerman and her two girls.

The Rottenbergs drove up to Boston to visit Rozy's brother and his three children. Rozy's only comment was that it was "cold, cold, cold!" Maurice is in the throes of tax season again, and Rozy says she had forgotten since last year what a trying time it could be for them.

Many of you exoressed your sorrow concerni ng the loss of our class sponsor, Miss

[ 33]

Welsh, class Gotaas. Jeannette McWilliams treasurer, sent a check for $10.00 from the Class of 1960 to the Mary Gotaas Scholarship Fund on the day of her funeral. But I know it would please her to know that each of us had made a contribution to the fund through the Westhampton Alumnae Association. Remember, it will count toward our class percentage. And that brings me to a special request from our president, Em St. Clair Key. Em asks that each of you take a few minutes and send in your contribution, no matter how small. Let's raise that percentage from 19% to 99% ! Don't let another day pass without sending in your check.

Many thanks to all those who helped make our column so long and newsy. Your next deadline will be May 10th, so please see to it that my mailbox is full!

THE SILENT LOSS

James Madison, fourth President of the United States, Father of The Constitution.

James Madison, fourth President of the United States and Father of The Constitution, is known as one of the most learned and perceptive of all ou r presidents.

Madison devoted forty years of his life to t h e service of his country, being elected and appointed to many prominent offices. A close friend of Thomas Jefferson, he was a devoted student of government and the democratic process.

Speaking before the Convention of Virginia on June 6, 1788, Ma dison said: Since the general civilization of mankind, I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations.

This is t he wisdom of history - a wisdom we would do we ll to heed. For the loss of liberty is often not atte nd ed by the blare of trumpets or the clash of armies. It is more often that "silent encroachment" - the gradua l erosion of in div idua l freedom and responsibility . Let us remember the words of Madison, and heed his warning. We must not let our freedom pass - in silence, and unheeded .

fun, but one was a field trip taking 45 students to the National Gallery of Art, then out to dinner and then to see Moliere's Les Femmes Savantes performed in French by a French company.

keeps her busy. Her letter sent news that Gail (Glover) Chamlee and Bill have a little girl born last May. They, too, have bought a house and are living in Newport News.

Other news from Newport News comes from Melinda (Holderby) Haid. Her husband, Bob, is stationed at Fort Eustis, Va., but just returned there last Aug. after a year in Vietnam .

While in Vietnam, he was promoted to captain and now has to decide whether or not he is going to stay in the Army. Melinda had a visit from Anne Marrow Donley and also from Sharon Alderson O'Connor when she and Tom were home for the Christmas holidays. Melinda and Bob are living in a house about five minutes from the post.

I had a nice chat with Libby (Wampler) Jarrett on the phone. Harry has two more years of obstetrics at M.C.V. and Libby stays busy at home with her two children, a German Shepherd dog and a Siamese Cat. She says it's like a zoo in their apartment. Besides household and family duties, Libby was in the pro duction of "Stop the World, I Want to Get Off" at the Barksdale Theater in Hanover, Va., and thoroughly enjoyed it, in spite of the hectic schedule it demanded. She also sings with the College Alumnae Chorus here under the direction of Mr. Erb. She said she hoped to attend a part of the class reunion, but both of her sisters will be married in May and one of those will marry the week-end of the reunion.

She hopes to make it to the dinner, however.

Libby told me that Cathy Carr, still in New York city, is production editor at Fawcett Publications and loves the job.

All of you, I hope, have received the letter about our reunion. Please make an effort to come and make it a real success. If you cannot come, send news or photographs to me before May 1. I'm sure everyone is looking forward to seeing former college friends and it will be a fun time for husbands and dates also! And don't forget, we elect new officers at the meeting. Come to the reunion! May 12-14, 1967.

1963Babies seem to dominate our news this time.

Dennis Michael Rozum, Jr. made his appearance on Oct. 4, 1966. I never realized one

child could alter a household so much! It seemed at first that all I accomplished during the day was feeding and diapering little Mike.

Since then we both have adjusted somewhat to a routine, and I'm getting a little bit more accomplished.

Gail Marcus Genderson and Sam welcomed their first child, Howard Shawn, on Nov . 8, 1966. On comparing notes with Gail on our new roles as Moms, I was a little relieved to hear she was experiencing the same problems of organization and time.

The Hullie Moores (Nancy Delano) reported the birth of a daughter, Sara Delano, on Oct .

20, 1966. They are living in Charlottesville , Va., where Hullie attends the University Law School and is a member of the Editorial Board of the Virginia Law Review.

While Christmas shopping I saw Joan Lee Wright Myrick at Miller and Rhoads . She is back in Richmond and again working at the Federal Reserve Bank.

MRS. DENNIS RozuM (Margie Burkett) 1916 Dresden Road, Richmond, Va.

1964Taking over the class newsletter has proven to be more interesting than I ever imagined, for in the three years since we have graduated each of us has gone our separate ways and enjoyed widely varying experiences. Growth has not stopped with college, and whether it has been through marriage and motherhood, career, continuation of academic course-work, or a combination of these, we all have met challenges never before experienced. It has been interesting to trace through these experiences, thanks to the work of Cindy Morgan and Betty Cheyney, and we will continue to share them in this column.

Much of this issue's news was gleaned from a "gossip party" I had for those of us in the Washington area: Joyce Stevens is a computer programmer trainee for the Department of the Army and lives in Arlington. Betty Cheyney gave a voice recital with Will Pierce on April 7 at Mt. Vernon Baptist Church. Ann Hardwick will take a six-week trip to the Caribbean in connection with her work in the IMF. Marty Goding Forti has two children and teaches high school math in Falls Church. Dianna Davis is now Mrs. Aubrey P. Ward and lives in Oxon Hill, Md. A baby boy, Charles Wylie, was born on January 5 to Nancy Ree Smith Scarborough.

We also learned bits of news about alumnae in other areas. Returning from a trip to N. J., Sally Abel stopped by to see Pat Bankes, now Mrs. Harold King, who lives in Philadelphia.

Her husband is finishing up his M.A. in International Relations, specifically, Chinese History.

Ann Blitch Siler reported that Jane Bibb Ranson has a baby boy, William Fitzgerald Ranson III. In checking with the Library of Congress, I learned that Katha Massey and Linda Richardson had left to attend the Library School at Rutgers University.

Julie Zuck is teaching first grade in Richmond and will soon finish up her U. Va. M.A. in education. Susan Pepper, working on the same degree, is back at Stuart Hall in Staunton.

Gloria Harris Leber and I went to Skyline Drive with our husbands last fall, and dropped in on Ranger Sue Hepler. She was working as a receptionist for the National Park Service and had plans to go to a park out West that would have year-round season.

Helen Henderson White's little boy, M. T. White, Jr., is already over a year old; they have moved to St. Louis.

Several students who left Westhampton their junior year have kept in touch. Adora Reese Palmer now lives in San Francisco where her husband is in Public Health. They welcomed a little girl last summer, their third child.

Jeannie Watson lives on Balboa Island, Calif. and teaches elementary school.

After graduating Phi Beta Kappa from G.W. University, Karen Scott received her MA in education from Johns Hopkins, and now works as a research aide for a Calfornia Congressman on Capitol Hill.

In exam1mng the latest address run-off from the Alumnae Office, I see that many of you have moved to new areas. I am anxious to hear from you, either directly or through your new group leaders. I am also looking forward co hearing from all who will be completing their graduate work in June. Many thanks to those who have agreed to be group leaders and to others who helped out on the Alumnae Fund drive. Just think of all that could be accomplished if each one in our big class of '64 gave just five dollars!

1965It seems that very little has been happening with the girls of our class during the long winter months. It is always good to receive the news from the class, however, so that we can pass it on to everyone.

Nancy Curtis Wood has recently been made a supervisor in the Computer Room at C&P Telephone Co. She and Ken are still in Richmond. Nancy is busy now with the plans for our first class reunion which will be held in May. We do hope that a large group will plan to attend.

The "ski bug" seems to have gotten to several of the girls in the class. Cheryl Kerr and Mary Ellen Kyle have done lots of skiing in Vermont this winter. Even some of the Richmond girls have the "bug." Dianne Minter and Wanda Fearnow had a weekend ski trip to Bryce's Ski Lodge at Bryce, Va. I recently received a newsy letter from Pattie Wood Tillar. She is living in Franklin and still teaching first grade in Newsoms with second grade reading and phonics thrown in for good measure. She and Billy recently attended the Southeastern Congress of Optometry in Atlanta, Ga. While in Atlanta, she saw Medie Sims Wiley, a two year member of our class. She is doing secretarial work while Andy finishes school at Georgia State.

Another two year member of the class, Patsy Saffelle Ferguson, had a daughter, Carole Vincent born Oct. 12.

Engagements still have a place in the news of the class. Susan Darden is engaged to Larry Robert Schneider, a third year law student at the University of Missouri School of Law. The wedding is planned for July 8. Congratulations are in order, too, for a superior performance award in her job.

Linda Jones is planning a June wedding. She is engaged to Lindsay Wood of Cleveland, Ohio. Linda met "Ship" at N. C. State where he is working on a Ph.D. in zoology and Linda is working on a M.S. in entomology. They plan to honeymoon in Scotland.

Janet Renshaw is engaged to Dr. Robert Carnighan who has a Ph.D. in chemistry and will graduate from medical school at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. in June. A June wedding is being planned.

Linda Webb Taliaferro is teaching seventh grade at Falling Creek Intermediate School in Chesterfield County. Bill has recently returned from Viet Nam and is now doing post graduate work at the School of Business Administration at the University of Richmond.

Elizabeth Harrison is now student teaching in Hanover, Ind., where Richard is a physics professor. They have a most interesting home, a houseboat. Of course, during the winter they had to move but they planned to move back in the spring.

Linda Holt Lilly and Eddie recently attended an AMA convention at the Homestead. Linda, too, has been to a language convention at Virginia Beach.

Susan Gunn Courrow now has a job as a programmer analyst with Systems Engineering Corporation in Richmond. Her husband, Randy,

[ 36]

is doing the same type work with Baker Equipment Engineering Company.

Frances Caudill is in Aschoffenburg, Germany, where her husband is stationed with the army medical corps. They have a son, Mark, born Sept. 26.

Pam August Leicht and Philip are the proud parents of a girl, Deanne Lee, born Feb. 20.

Philip is going into military service in Louisiana for six months and then into the reserves. During this time Pam will be at home with her parents in Silver Springs, Md. Carolyn Jackson Mears and Gerry have a daughter, Liana Lynn, born Feb. 15. Congratulations!

I am sure everyone has received a letter concerning the Alumnae Fund. Please let's all keep this in mind and not forget to make a contribution.

Nancy Saunders Pierce and Will have a daughter, Charlyn Scott, born Dec. 4. They are now in Arlington and Will will leave for military service in April.

Barbara Royster and her husband are now making their home in Burlington, Vt. Please continue to let us hear from you so that we can pass the news on to the other members of the class.
