THE MAGNIFICENT GIFT Now the University of Richmond, thanks to the beneficence of Claiborne Robins, will become one of the nation's great educational centers, providing quality education for quality students.

Fifty million dollars for quality education with no restrictions on the use of the funds.

The preceding sentence describes the magnitude, the purpose and the nature of the gift by E. Claiborne Robins to the University of Richmond.

When the announcement of the gift was made at commencement exercises closing the 139th year of the University, a standing-room-only crowd of 4,000 in the Mosque gasped, then jumped to its feet, shouting and applauding.

The announcement was made almost matter-offactly by President George M. Modlin at the close of his charge to the largest graduating class in the institution's history, 673 men and women.

Dr. Modlin was pointing out, as every president of a private college has been stressing, that the plight of educational institutions on private foundation is becoming "increasingly serious." In fact, he confessed, the University of Richmond "is encountering difficulties in meeting this situation."

And then the bombshell: "Therefore, it is most fortunate just at this time, indeed it is providential, that Mr. E. Claiborne Robins of Richmond is making to the University a magnificent gift of fifty million dollars. Forty million dollars were given today, and an additional "challenge gift" of ten million was pledged, to be matched dollar for dollar by gifts from alumni and other sources over a ten-year period.

Then came the barrage of questions from newsmen, alumni and other friends of the University.

• How will the money be spent?

President Modlin spoke to that question at a meeting of the joint faculties the following morning, a meeting that was understandably enthusiastic. The University has no intentions of becoming significantly larger; the emphasis will be on quality education. He

pointed out that alumnus Robins in making the _gift had said it was to be used "to provide education of the highest quality" to the end that the University would become "one of the outstanding institutions of higher learning in the nation."

Without attempting to pinpoint exactly how the money would be used, President Modlin said that the bulk of it would go into the University's endowment which currently is almost $11,000,000. He assured the faculty that they could expect greater financial aid for research and other scholarly activities.

Although there will be no crash building program, President Modlin indicated that some of the construction with high priorities, such as an extension of Ryland Hall, the projected dormitory at Westhampton College, and an addition to the Student Center, might be accelerated.

• Does the gift mean that the University is severing its relationship with the Virginia Baptist denomination that founded the institution in 1830 and has nurtured it through the years?

To this question the president gave an emphatic "No." There will be procedural changes in the election of members of the board of trustees in order to guarantee the independence of the board, but there is no thought of dissolving "the very close ties that bind us to the denomination."

Further, he said, the University expects the same spirit of cooperation and assistance that the University has received in the past from the Baptists of Virginia who last year gave $260,000 for operational purposes and $100,000 for capital needs.

Concerning the procedural changes, Dr. Modlin explained that whereas. in the past all 40 members of the board of trustees have been nominated by the General Board of the Virginia Baptist General Asso3

ciation, in the . future only onefifth of the trustees will be thus nominated. He emphasized that the new procedure was agreed on amicably and unanimously by the trustees and representatives of the General Association.

• Is this the largest gift ever made by an individual to a private institution of higher learning?

Yes, so far as is known. It was apparent immediately that it certainly was one of the largest, and as representatives of organizations engaged in fund raising at all levels compared notes it became certain that Mr. Robins' gift of $50 million was the largest ever.

• Will the University have difficulty in matching the $10 million challenge gift?

No. On this point President Modlin was emphatic as he pointed out that organizations and individuals contribute substantially each year and that the tempo of the giving will be increased as a result of the challenge, the "opportunity to buy a bargain," two dollars for the price of one. Mr. Robins, as "Mr. X" in two of the Alumni Fund appeals, induced alumni to increase their giving substantially. President Modlin said he not only expected that the matching money would be raised but that it would be done "well within the ten-year period."

• Is this the greatest day in University of Richmond history?

That question was being asked in varying forms by alumni and friends. The answer may be that June 9, 1969 will loom as large in University of Richmond history as June 15, 1215 in English history and July 4, 1776 in American history.

Other significant dates in the history of the University and its predecessor institutions would include June 8, 1830 when the Virginia Baptist General Association, assembled at 5 o'clock in the morning, resolved that "it is expedient that the Baptists of this State form an Education Society for the improvement of the ministry," a decision that led to the establishment of Dunlora Academy in Powhatan County for the training of ministerial candidates; 4

July 4, 1832 when the Virginia Baptist Seminary, into which Dunlora Academy grew, began operation with only one teacher, Robert Ryland; March 4, 1840 when the Virginia General Assembly granted a charter to Richmond College, of which Dr. Ryland was president; December 11, 1894 when Frederic W. Boatwright was elected president, and January 1, 1895 when he began more than 50 years of magnificent service; February 8, 1910 when the epochal decision was made to move the college from its downtown campus to the 300-acre campus in Henrico County, now within Richmond's city limits; and September 21, 1920 when Richmond College, the T. C. Williams School of Law, and Westhampton College were chartered collectively as the University of Richmond.

Of all the dates, historians may agree that none was more important than February 8, 1910 when efforts to move the college from its small and confining urban c~mpus to a spacious campus with ample room for physical growth was brought to a successful conclusion, under President Boatwright's leadership.

The late Dr. R. H. Pitt, in recording the action by the board of trustees, noted that "the eventful day on which this decision was made was cold and gray." In the afternoon when the board went out to inspect the proposed new site "the skies were overcast and the rain was falling. The grounds which had been selected were far from attractive. On the south side of the lake, the land . . . was a desert; on the north, there was a wilderness. The only building of any importance on the whole property was the frame structure still standing, used for some years as a chapel (Ed: later a biology laboratory; still later, The Playhouse)."

Now on a spacious campus, one of the most beautiful in the nation, the University of Richmond, thanks to the beneficence of Claiborne Robins, will become one of the nation's great educational centers, providing quality education for quality students in quality • surroundings.

Lat

$50,000,000 gift to the University of Richmond first became a gleam in Claiborne Robins' eyes on June 5, 1967, although he didn't know it at the time.

It was the annual meeting of the board of trustees in Keller Hall on the University of Richmond campus. President George M. Modlin was speaking seriously and earnestly. It was evident that he had done his homework well. For more than an hour he talked about the plight of educational institutions, of private colleges, in general, and then particularly about the plight of the University of Richmond.

He ticked off, one by one, the courses the University might pursue.

Adhere to the same program, do the best we can with what we have. With candor, Dr. Modlin said such a program ultimately would result in a comparative weakening of the University, certainly in comparison with wellheeled state-supported institutions.

A second possibility would be that some generous benefactor

by JOSEPH E. NETTLES, '30

CLAIBORNEROBINS: (

GenerousBenefactorof Alma Mater would give the University a sufficient sum of money to insure not only its preservation but to enable it to grow in stature as a quality institution. As he spoke, he wrote in classroom fashion on a large blackboard, $25,000,000 to $50,000,000." That's what he thinks he wrote. At least one trustee said he thought he put on the board only the staggering figure-$50,000,000.

Claiborne Robins got the message-but not loud and clear.

Later it became more insistent as he mulled over it. And so, on April 2 of this year when Claiborne Robins sat down with President Modlin and Robert T. Marsh, Jr., '22, rector of the University, at the Commonwealth Club, the only questions were how much? and how can the gift be made to insure the independence of the board of trustees without severing the historic ties that bind the University to the Baptist denomination? Continued

A. H. Robins was founded in 1878 in this small apothecary and manufacturing chemist's shop at 200 East Marshall Street in Richmond, Virginia. E. Claiborne Robins, now president, is shown with his grandfather Albert Hartley Robins, founder.

As he talked about the gift in his office on the sixth floor of the A. H. Robins building, doctoring a cold with an occasional swig of cough syrup, he said that his first inclination was to give $25 million.

"But I soon realized that $25 million was not enough to do the job well. If it was worth doing at all it had to be done right."

And $50 million will do it right?

"No, it won't. We really need $100,000,000." As he talked conversationally, never raising his voice, it became apparent that not only the designated $10 million challenge gift but all of the $50 million is, in effect, a challenge to foundations and corporations, alumni and other friends of education to unite in making this "one of the nation's great educational centers." He spoke of the campus as a gathering place "for

great scholars" and, as a business man who knows that the best is expensive, he said that "we should pay them enough to attract them." Again and again he made the point that he did not believe the institution should grow appreciably in size; the emphasis should be on "quality education."

Claiborne Robins has a great many interests, a great many loyalties. Why did he give the first

priority to the University of Richmond?

He did not grasp the opportunity to make an impassioned speech, a declaration of undying love for Alma Mater. He said simply that the University had given him an opportunity to get an education when there were very few dollars in the coffers of the Robins family. Now he wanted to do something for the University. Most of all he wanted the city of Richmond "to appreciate and be proud of our University."

Those who know Claiborne Robins well ( and a great many persons know him well and appreciate his friendliness, his complete lack of guile), say that one of the capitalized words in his personal dictionary is loyalty.

Many years later he is still loyal to the banker who made it possible for little A. H. Robins Company ($4,800 in sales when he joined the company in 1933 after his graduation from pharmacy school of the Medical College of Virginia), to grow to sales of $115.4 million in 1968.

Loyalty also to the suppliers who, he once said in an address to the American Newcomen, "carried" the company in its early days "on a wing and a prayer."

Those suppliers, he said, "are still our suppliers."

Loyalty to his employes. In

the same N ewcomen speech he said "no company's assets are more important than the people who make up a firm. I may be paternalistic, but to me the people who have made our success possible are truly members of the family, partners in our progress."

Eighty per cent of the employes are stockholders.

Loyalty to his family. To the grandfather, A. H. Robins, who in 1878 founded the small apothecary and manufacturing chemist's shop at 200 East Marshall Street. "My business," he delighted in pointing out, was "halfway between the penitentiary and the poorhouse."

To his father, Claiborne, who died when young Claiborne was only two years old, of a heart disease that modern medicine could have cured. To his mother, Martha Elizabeth Taylor Robins, the backbone of the business during the years Claiborne was in college and for some years thereafter. The athletic field near Millhiser Gymnasium was given by young Claiborne in memory of his father, the combination dormitory and infirmary in honor of his mother. To his wife, Lora McGlasson, who worked diligently and well in the early days of the business and for some years was secretary of the corporation. Loyalty to his children, Ann Carol Haskell, '67; Edwin ~.p

machine at the A. H. Robins Company today.

Claiborne Jr., '68; and Lora Elizabeth Mayer, who attended Westhampton briefly but did not graduate.

It follows then that Claiborne Robins' gift to the University of Richmond was an expression of loyalty to an institution that stimulated his thinking, got him started on what was to be one of the most fascinating success stories in American business.

Friends who find him a delightful companion, at ease in all company, find it difficult to accept the fact that as a student in the University he was "awfully shy." He rode the street car to the University, attended classes, and rode the street car back to town. He helped pay his college expenses, meager in those days, by working nights in the city library.

The foregoing explains, of course, why he had no time for student activities. Not so, says Claiborne, "I probably wouldn't have participated anyway. I was shy, awfully shy."

The records show he did well in his classes but not well enough for any one to suggest that someday he would be a captain of industry, not well enough for Doctor Mitchell to suggest that "you must enroll in The Hopkins" for graduate study. "As a matter of fact," says Claiborne, "I doubt Dr. Mitchell knew I was in his classroom."

His two favorites were Dr. Robert C. Astrop, professor of psychology, and Dr. Rolvix W. Harlan, professor of sociology. He spoke with genuine appreciation of Dr. Astrop, "the best lecturer I have ever known," although Dr. Harlan "sometimes was almost as good."

He is determined that there shall be great scholars in all the classrooms and in the laboratories, that the University of Richmond will be without a peer among the undergraduate educational institutions of the South. •

Almost the dimensions of a football field, measuring 276 by 232 feet.

Four floors in height, with a basketball arena with a clearance of 75 feet from the playing floor to the roof and seats for 7500 spectators.

These are some of the features of the $4 million athletic center at the University of Richmond, on which construction will begin in the latter half of this year, that will provide facilities for almost every kind of indoor game and physical exercise . A gift from the Robins family-Mr. and Mrs. E. Claiborne Robins, their son E . Claiborne Robins, Jr., and their daughters, Mrs. Alois Mayer and Mrs. John C. Haskell, Jr.-the athletic center will be located adjacent to the hiser Gymnasium. This gymnasicompleted in November 1922, the student body at Richmond e numbered 406 students, will emodeled and connected to the

new athletic center. Making possible the use of the remodeled gymnasium is one reason for the location of the new athletic center. A second, and more important, reason is its nearness to the men's dormitories at the heart of the campus . As Athletic Director Frank Jones said, the new complex will provide facilities for "a complete physical education program for the entire student body," which will be maintained at its current level of approximately 1400 students.

The building will be located between Millhiser Gymnasium and College Road. Its exterior walls will be of brick construction, graced with limestone trim and arches, in the University's traditional modified collegiate Gothic architecture. Parallel to Millhiser Gymnasium will be two "bridges," on either side of a courtyard, leading up to a plaza on the level of the second floor and providing

---

easy access from the campus side of the building. Encircling the building on the third floor level will be a "promenade deck" .

The ground floor, at the same level of the existing football practice field, will have its main entrance facing the field. A large room the length of one side of the center on this floor will house the mechanical equipment, while light combination handball and squash courts will occupy the length of another wall. Located outside of the walls proper , and underneath the plaza mentioned above, will be a swimming pool. This pool, regul ation size for collegiate competition, will have 6 lanes, as well as 1-meter and 3meter diving boards. Spectator seating will be provided along one side, while adjacent to it will be locker and shower rooms for the swimming team and for visiting ones.

This floor might be termed "the service floor," because of the many

services which will be located on it.

For football, there will be the major locker rooms for the players, showers, the equipment room with laundry rooms adjacent, the trainer's room, and a doctor's office. For wrestling, there will be a practice room and two auxiliary exercise rooms . For physical education classes, there will be locker and shower rooms, as well as rooms for the coaches and faculty members.

In addition, there will be two "team bedrooms," each with a capacity of 25 men, for the use of visiting athletic teams, while the visiting coaches will be quartered in two motel-type bedrooms. A small caretaker's apartment, containing a living room, bedroom, bath, and kitchenette, is to be located near the entrance . An auxiliary gymnasium providing basketball, badminton, and v~leyball courts com. pletes the listing o the main featur on the ground level.

The second level of the athletic center will have its main entran ce facing College Road. It will open into a lobby around which trophy cases will be placed. To the right of the lobby will be a lounge, while to the left of it will be offices for the sale of tickets and for the business manager. This floor will be devoted principally to air-conditioned offices and classrooms.

Offices for the coaches in the major basketball, baseball, sports-football, and track-as well as one for the athletic director, will be grouped together, with access to them being controlled by a receptionist. Nearby will be an office for the sports publicist. A complex of offices for the staff of the physical education department will be adjacent ~

Those who have known Professor Stevenson longest love him most. Because he has always been quiet and unassuming , it often took his colleagues and students some time to realize fully the extent of his knowledge, the soundness of his scholarship, his deep devotion to language and literature, and his genuine sense of humor.

Above all, he was able to impart his enthusiasm and to inspire his classes with a love of learning. Many who enrolled under him without knowing "what Keats were" emerged a semester or two later with an appreciation of Shakespeare and Chaucer and Milton that they will never outlive .

It was one of these things that two of his students of years past spoke on the occasion of the unveiling of David Silvette 's portrait of Professor Stevenson at the Alumni Day luncheon in Millhiser Gymnasium on May 17.

Paul Saunier, '40, director of University Relations at the University of Virginia, summed it up this way: "You may wonder why I, who did not do my major work here under Dr. Stevenson but simply took a sophomore survey course with him, am on the program. I speak for those who came early under his influence, as freshmen or sophomores, and learned from him an appreciation of language and literature which they ca~ried with them as they went on into other fields.

"He conveyed a love of language . I have a teen-age daughter. She is fifteen, going on twenty. Any of you who have teen-age daughters know what I mean .

She has been to see the movie of Romeo and Juliet four times. She came back the first time and said, 'Father, the language is beautiful, absolutely beautiful.' I said, 'I know , I know,' and she said, 'How could you know?'

Professor Stevenson

by LEWIS F. BALL

'His mind and spirit go marching on in the lives of the pilgrims he has loosed upon this earth.'-Friddell

"I said, 'Dr . Stevenson showed me.'

"I went back the other day to the library and looked up the catalogue under which I entered here in 1936 to see what it was that Dr. Stevenson taught me. It was a survey course; at that time it was called English 3. I then looked at a 1939 catalogue and saw that it was called English 203. In the four years Dr. Stevenson had taught the course, it went up 200 points.

"The catalogues also indicated that in those very ominous years-between the world's worst depression and the world's worst war-when the young men of my generation were seeking to prepare ourselves for we knew not what , Dr. Stevenson taught English, Dr. Loving taught physics , and Dr. Mitchell taught history.

I remember it differently. Dr. Mitchell taught conscience, Dr. Loving taught humanity, and Dr. Stevenson taught expression. If I may borrow a term from

current student jargon, that was a curriculum that had relevance. It had relevance then, and it has relevance now.

"In summary, he taught us with skill, with scholarship, with humor; and he inspired in us his own love of language."

Guy Friddell, '46, now author of several successful books and editorial page editor of the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, reminisced about a pilgrimage of years ago: "This is the kind of day that Chaucer said folk long to go on pilgrimagesand what better reason for a pilgrimage than our returning on a spring morning to Alma Mater to honor a good friend and great teacher, Dr. Samuel W. Stevenson?

"I have the feeling of having known Chaucer all my life, but Dr. Stevenson introduced me to him, and the three of us-Chaucer, Dr. Stevenson, and Ihave been fast friends ever since.

"Not far along in his course, some twenty-five years ago, I realized that the University's Gothic colonnades, archways, casement windows, and tolling chapel clock were in harmony with Chaucer's surrroundings and that we students were as various as the Canterbury pilgrims.

"But even more striking was the resemblance between Chaucer and our teacher-the spare, straight figure and the look of humor about his mouth, as if his tongue was in his cheek. Dr. Stevenson has the same wry, dry wit; his swift sidelong glance is as encompassing -and as tolerant. He showed the same universality of interests-relating the tapestry of Chaucer's time to events of our own day, and he had the same unfailing civility. When in the give-andtake of the class, some exuberant soul was unthinkingly rude, a faint flush appeared on Dr. Stevenson's cheek. That was all, but it was a more effective rebuke than a tongue-lashing. Because he was a gentle man, we were prompted to react as gentlemen. At the same time, we were aware of reserves of authority in his character that we did not care to invoke.

"He had Chaucer's sense of fun and, on rare occasions, he spent the last five or ten minutes before dismissing the class by asking questions from The World Almanac, a game that Chaucer's pilgrims would have enjoyed on the road to Canterbury.

"To speak of a great teacher's retiring is impertinent. He can never retire. His mind and spirit go marching on in the lives of the pilgrims he has loosed upon this earth.

"Our gathering to gaze on the portrait of our friend is a pleasurable pause in the journey, a memorable milestone. We will look, and smile, and nod our heads and say, 'That is he'-and the pilgrimage to Canterbury continues."

And now let Dr. Stevenson say a few words of his own: "For me, this is a very proud moment, but I realize that pride is considered the deadliest of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Therefore I must take myself in hand and say to myself, 'Brother Stevenson, at your age you have absolutely no business

fooling around with sin. You have enough of that hanging over you from earlier times.' That might take care of the situation. If it doesn't, I shall call upon my wife for aid; for over the years she has consistently, continually, and vigorously discouraged any tendency of mine toward indulging in sin.

"After I have completed all my work at the end of this semester, I shall have no more freshman themes to grade and no comments to write thereon, such as 'My dictionary does not list any such word as irregardless.' Freed from all of that, I shall be on Cloud Nine, as on an uninhabited island, preferably tropical.

"Now, what five or six books should I choose to take along to such an island or such a cloud? A collected volume of Shakespeare? Yes. The works of Chaucer? Yes. A volume of Wordsworth?

Yes, for there are moments when I dearly love to read bad poetry, and Wordsworth wrote plenty of it. I am undecided about the other books. I might choose the latest issue of The World Almanac, and for something entirely different, I might select the collected speeches of Councilman Howard Carwile."

In the mid-1930's, when I was more adventurous than I am now, I took an all-night ride on an ·excursion train from New York to Boston, where Dr. Stevenson was dreaming out his summer. He met me at Back Bay on a hot, humid morning around five o'clock and said that he wanted to show me some of the memorable landmarks before breakfast.

I thought of the Common, of Bunker Hill, of the Old North Church. But no!

By a devious approach through unpaved roads, we came first to the site of the first boat club in Dedham. A bronze tablet gave the highlights of its existence. which I have forgotten, but the final line rings out full and clear: "Liquidated with honor 1893."

Dr. Stevenson's academic career has now been liquidated with honor, summa • cum laude.

Hart, Tenney, Harrison Promoted to Professor Dr. Philip R. Hart, '54, Dr. Wilton R. Tenney and Dr. W. Harrison Daniel of the University faculty have been promoted to the rank of professor effective Sept. 1.

Dr. Hart, professor of Bible, received a B.D. degree from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and an M.A. degree from Columbia University. He received the Ph.D. degree at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. He joined the faculty in 1956.

Dr. Tenney, professor of biology, earned his B.S. degree at West Virginia Wesleyan, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees at West Virginia University. He joined the faculty in 1957.

Dr. Daniel, who joined the faculty in 1956, received the B.S. degree from Lynchburg College. He earned B.D. and M.A. degrees at Vanderbilt University and a Ph.D. degree at Duke Uni• versity.

to both small and large classrooms for use by this department, while nearby a special physical education laboratory for work with individual handicapped students will be located. There will also be dressing rooms for the baseball, tennis, and track teams, as well as viewing rooms with screens which can be darkened and used by the football team for the study of game movies.

All of these facilities are located on the perimeter of the building, while in the center is the basketball court, the focal point of the "arena area."

The main entrance to the arena area on the third level is to be on the side adjacent to Pitt Field. As one leaves the traffic circle to enter the building, he will cross the ambulatory that circles the arena level and enter the rows of seats about midway from the top to the bottom of the rows. The open space of the basketball court floor will measure 100 by 144 feet, with a playing court of 50 by 94 feet. Rising in tiers in an oval shape around the court will be 24 rows of seats, accommodating 7500 spectators, with no obstructing pillars to block the view.

Ample provisions will be made for the coverage of home basketball games by the press, radio, and television: above the last row of seats on one wall will be a press box, 60 feet long, while cables for television cameras will be part of the electrical system. Although the arena part of the center may not be air conditioned initially, equipment will be installed to provide for the future air conditioning of this area.

One of the most difficult problems connected with the construction of the athletic center is that of providing adequate parking facilities. This problem will be the subject of continuing careful study.

President Modlin has commented that the athletic center will "do more for the university's total athletic program than anything that has happened in the school's history." When the complex is completed in 1971, the University of Richmond will be in its one hundred and forty-first year-no small span of time-but the President's observation is only a realistic appraisal of the importance of this gift from the Robins family.

• *Dr. Guthrie, scholarly chairman of the University of Richmond English department, is also a member of the University's Athletic Council. And with good reason. He was a member of the {fol/ team at Washington and Lee from which he was graduated in 1944 and for four of his 14 years on the U. of R. campus he has doubled in brass as golf coach.

Westhai:npton College ~fleet ions

by BETTY ANN DOUB Immediate Past President Westhampton College Alumnae Association

Looking back and looking ahead is a necessary part of almost any goal-directed activity of life . . . and so it has been in these last three years. In 19661967 we realized that alumnae could not depend forever on the "incomparable Leslie" to unify our efforts for Westhampton; we began the job of seeing what we did, who did it, and how. The year 1967-1968 represented a time of thoughtful, careful and caring evaluation of our total structure and philosophy of "being" as an alumnae association; we found a new executive secretary and additional staff time to implement our dreams. The years 1968-1969 brought the occupation of expanded space and enlargement of services; we are through some of the more difficult transitions into a period of continuing growth in service to Westhampton College and that indefinable intangible-Westhampton spirit.

This is the tie that binds. It has been very clear throughout that the warm personal relationships which exist among Westhampton women-students, faculty, administration and alumnae-have been our strength and underlying motivation.

How often one hears variations of the theme . . . "You know, the thing I love about my Westhampton friends is that even if I can not see them for years, we can still pick up right where we left off.

There always seem to be so many shared interests."

It seems appropriate now to share with you some of our evaluations and some of the directions we set for ourselves.

We reaffirmed our purpose: "to promote Westhampton College through organized effort." Despite its brevity this

statement of purposes focuses on the concept of many-faceted support to the college and thus to the university of which it is a part. It recognizes the need for active promotion by all alumnae, in these times more necessary than ever before for a private, church-related college suffering from pangs of growth, competition, a changing society and the financial needs for educational innovation, equipment, buildings, and faculty. "Promoting through organized effort" embodies building the image of Westhampton College in the eyes of its many target publics (present and future students, alumnae, the public), and it implies focusing creative effort on communication and public relations at all levels. This must very properly be done as a distinct investment in utilizing the strengths of each of these groups service and in contributions-personal monetary-to Westhampton's best good.

We reaffirmed, and indeed valued more, our present structural and financial autonomy from the university administration. After a long look both at the details of our own financial operating policies and those of other alumnae groups, we appear to be the most financially independent with the least administrative financial backing of any association we could find. We noted the pros and cons of greater dependence or closer financial ties to the university, but on balance we appreciated ·even more our unique condition as valuable. We retain with en-

thusiasm our status as an independent autonomous association, which is free to apply its assets, financial and influential, to priorities we readily identify for Westhampton.

We recognized the need for making our current student relationships even more effective, for this is the beginning of building alumnae spirit and participation.

To that end, as a matter of policy, we have greatly enlarged individual alumnaestudent contacts, parallel projects and committee memberships, and have worked in every way to demonstrate alumnae interest in the college today as well as yesterday. We feel alumnae provide an important link in traditions and a sense of perspective for today's student group, but we seek to share our common goals for the future, rather than to dominate as guardians of the past.

We acknowledge our needs as alumnae to become more self-reliant, to focus additional effort on responsible individual involvement of alumnae in greater numbers. Today's 4300-plus, far flung across 40 states and in many foreign locations, are a long way from the handful of Richmond alumnae who dashed out when called; we are a group, national in character, seeking to undergird the college we Jove. Our rapidly increasing size and the very nature of life today demands an enlarged continuing staff effort to do an effective job. But also-as never before -"promoting Westhampton through organized effort" demands the loyal, enthusiastic, personally sacrificial participation that has come to be the hallmark of the Westhampton alumna wherever she is, • in whatever her field of endeavor.

Theresa ~ollak, '21

by DALE PATRICK, '68

As 18-year-old Theresa Pollak sat through her high school commencement exercises, her mind was filled with thoughts of an anticipated trip to New York, where she planned to study art.

Young Theresa had dreamed of a career in art since she was "a tiny child" and had been doing sketches since before the age of 6.

But, in the middle of the graduation ceremonies , and Miss Pollak, now 69 years old , still remembers it vividly, her name was read out as having won a scholarship to Westhampton College.

"I never intended to go to college. I intended to go to New York and study art immediately after high school," she said.

But Theresa Pollak decided to "try it for one year," and she "found it so interesting" that she stayed four. In 1921, she received a bachelor of science degree in chemistry.

Strangely enough, however, this was not the end of Miss Pollak's affiliation with Westhampton or with the academic life . The woman who never planned to go to college is retiring this year after 40 years as a teacher in the Virginia Commonwealth University art school, a school she herself founded.

She also organized the first art department at the University of Richmond .

Miss Pollak, a vivacious woman who is a well-known artist in her own right , has taught countless art students through the years . Among them are many who have successfully established themselves in various art-related occupations , and Miss Pollak recalls all of them with pride.

In an interview recently, Miss Pollak reminisced about the first art class she organized at VCU in 1928 . Held in a stable-turned-studio on Shafer Street, the class was composed of 20 students .

Miss Pollak had only recently returned from her long-anticipated studies at the Art Students League in New York, when Dr. H. H . Hibbs, then president of Richmond Polytechnic Institute, became interested in establishing art courses at the school. Two Richmond artists had seen some of Miss Pollak's paintings on exhibition in the Woman's Club and both recommended her to Dr. Hibbs.

The contract between the school and Miss Pollak stipulated that she would be hired to teach a day class in art if she could muster as many as five students .

She was also warned that there would , in all probability, be no students unless she searched for them.

And so, she said , "I just got on the phone and started calling people up."

That first class of 20 people was the nucleus from which grew the present Virart University ginia Commonwealth school, composed of about 1,200 students and believed to be the largest in the country.

20

Now there will be time to paint for distinguished educator and artist.

In 1930, Miss Pollak organized similar art courses at the University of Richmond . In 1935, she resigned from her part-time position at Westhampton to become professor of art at RPI. She was chairman of the School of Art there from 1942 until 1950.

"I drew from the time I was a tiny child ," Miss Pollak said, as she recalled her years as an artist. One of her first subjects, drawn before she was 6 years old, was her grandfather, "sitting in a great big leather easy chair."

Miss Pollak's first real art lessons came when she was about 10 years old. She studied under Miss Adele Clark and Miss Nora Houston at the old Richmond Art Club .

The art lessons "just opened up everything to me," she said. Miss Clark and Miss Houston were the first people she met "who were artists ."

Since that time , Miss Pollak's paintings have been included in exhibitions at, among other places, the Whitney Museum of American Art , the Rockefeller Center, the Corcoran Gallery in Washington and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

She has given one-man exhibitions in New York, as well as in several Virginia cities. One such exhibit, held recently at VCU , included examples of her work dating from 1929 through 1968.

The retrospective display, which Miss Pollak describes fondly as her "autobiography," includes paintings ranging from the early, more realistic styles to the later, color-splashed ones that have an impressionistic tone .

Most of the paintings , Miss Pollak explained, have been done from things that she has "actually experienced." One of her professors at Westhampton, she added, introduced her to the habit of carrying around a small memo pad, which she uses to sketch appealing subjects.

Many of the "thumbnail sketches" have been transformed into full-sized, striking paintings .

Miss Pollak's awards in painting include a first prize from the Studio Club of New York in 1926, a second prize from the Richmond Academy of Art in 1931, a first prize from the Virginia Museum of Fine arts in 1939 and a purchase prize from the Norfolk Museum in 1960.

Her paintings are also included in many permanent collections in New York and Washington, as well as in Virginia localities.

In 1933, she was given a Carnegie Fellowship for study at Harvard's Fogg Museum, and in 1941 she was elected to the University of Richmond Epsilon Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa.

It would be difficult to say whether Miss Pollak is more an educator or an artist. "I had to be tremendously involved with painting or I could not have taught painting." But, she added, "I felt my commitment to the college must come first."

And what has Miss Pollak found the most rewarding in her long and successful career? That, too, was a difficult question, and she thought for awhile before answering .

When the answer came it was threefold. "It is some measure of satisfaction that I have derived from my work," she said. "Although I'm still struggling to arrive at a deeper realization in my painting, at the same time, I feel that in seeing my work spread out before me there has been a creative accomplishment that is gratifying."

Though there have been many inspiring and rewarding moments during her long career, Miss Pollak admits that there have been difficult times, too . One of the most difficult, she said jokingly, "was learning to drive a car-at the age of 66!"

Seriously, she said, it has been difficult to make "the adjustment to the new concepts and ideas of today . . . changes that reveal themselves in both life and art today. I've been involved in working with the young student, in adjusting to an understanding of the different approaches and attitudes of students today in the learning process."

And, no doubt, Miss Pollak's retirement will mean neither the end of her involvement in life nor in art.

She will "have time to do all the things" that she hasn't had time to fit into her long career life. But, "foremost," she • said, "it will mean time to paint."

Atlanta Alumnae Club

Mildred Clinkscales, '38 Elected President of National Board Mildred Harrell Clinkscales, (Mrs. Sidney Clinkscales), '38, of Norfolk, Virginia, was elected president of the National Board of the Westhampton College Alumnae Association, at Alumnae Weekend, May 16-17. Elected to serve with her as vice president was Mayme O'Flaherty Stone (Mrs. Richard P. Stone), '41.

Mrs. Clinkscales, interested in music throughout her life, was active during her college years in the Choir, Glee Club and University Players. Being a history major found her a member of the International Affairs group.

Her interest in Westhampton continued after graduation.

In addition to serving on the National Board, she was a past president of the Tidewater Alumnae Club.

Teaching for the past 22 years and serving as church soloist for many years has given her an active life shared by her husband and two children. Joyce will be a junior next year at Westhampton College, and Lee will enter Richmond College next fall.

Kates Foundation Elects Two Ann Dickinson Welsh, '33 was elected president of the Elizabeth Kates Founda tion, and Leslie Sessoms Booker, '22, was elected to a four year term on the Board of Directors. The annual meeting was at the Virginia Industrial Farm in Goochland on Wednesday, May 14th.

The organization was named for Elizabeth Kates, the first superintendent of the farm, who spent more than 33 years of her life working for better rehabilitation practices for women prisoners and the foundation provides educational, vocational and rehabilitation training.

President: Mrs. H. H. Blackwell (Jane Horton '60), 4358 Bishop Hollow Court, Chamblee, Georgia 30005.

Our spring get-together was a special treat. On May 10 nineteen alumnae and their friends met for lunch at the Druid Hills Golf Club. Dr. Carla Waal, '53, presently professor of Drama at the University of Georgia, came over from Athens to present a lecture-recital on "Ibsen's Portraits of Women". Carla's rich background of study at University of Oslo, Norway, and also in Sweden, gives an added dimension to her interpretations of Ibsen.

An extra pleasure was in having our new Executive Secretary, Louise Long, meet with us and fill us in on happenings at Westhampton.

At a short business meeting the following officers were elected for 1969-71: Mrs . S. W. Cowles (Beth Koltukian '48), president; Mrs. Richard W. Tiemeyer (Betty Brown '60), vice-president; and Edith DeWitt '27, secretary.

BaltimoreAlumnae Club President: Mrs. Lee P. Bredbenner (Kathy White, '64), 603 Bridgeman Terrace, Towson, Maryland 21204.

Our president presided at the annual joint dinner with the Baltimore Area Richmond College Alumni, our husbands and their wives, in the Penn Hotel of Towson on February 28. Towson State College Professor of Education, George Cox (1933 Class Captain, Richmond College), was our speaker. In his usual charming and compre hensive manner, he brought us up to date on the growth of the University of Richmond.

The Baltimore Club will sorely miss Mary Weaver Collins, '18, who enjoyed that evening with us, but who died suddenly on March 2. She was a vivacious and devoted member of our group.

The guest speaker for our spring luncheon at historic Hampton House, on April 26, was Louise Long. We were delighted to have her share her intimate knowledge of the campus and the enthusiasm she brings to her work as our new Alumnae Secretary.

New officers elected at this meeting were Alice Torbeck Bryant, '37, treasurer; and Ethne Flanagan Higginbotham, '42, secretary.

Greensboro-High PointWinston-SalemAlumnae Club President: Mrs. George P. Williams, Jr. (Alice Mae Verra, '49) 1961 Faculty Drive, Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27106.

Any alumnae living in these areas who are interested in our meetings please contact Mrs. George P. Williams, Jr., president.

PeninsulaAlumnae Club President: Mrs. Robert Miller (Virginia Jones '56), 184 Yeardley Drive, Newport News, Va. 23601.

The spring luncheon meeting of the Peninsula Westhampton Alumnae was held in April at the home of Mrs . D . W. Borger (Ann Higgins, '47). The meeting was well attended and our special guest was Louise Long, the new Alumnae Association Secretary from Richmond. She told us about what was happening at the University and some of the alumnae activities .

Also, at this meeting, two new officers were elected. They are: vice presidentMrs. John M. Brooks (Gail Morrison, '61) and secretary-Mrs. Joseph D. Nolan (Beth Stafford, '63).

This spring also saw another happy event -the birth of Robert Carter Miller in March. He is the son of our president Virginia Miller.

RoanokeAlumnae Club Vice-president: Mrs. Donald L. Gilmer (Cary Hancock '59), 2330 Wycliffe Ave., Roanoke, Virginia 24014.

Our annual spring luncheon was held on April 19 at Archie's Restaurant. Miss Suzanne Kidd of the Westhampton faculty spoke and showed slides of the Fine Arts Building.

The following officers were elected for a two year term: president-Mrs. Boyd Dickerson (Mary Anne Hubbard '51), vicepresident-Mrs. Ira Hurt, Jr. (Jane Bowles '56), secretary-treasurer-Mrs. R. W. Wright (Jenny Neely '66).

TidewaterAlumnaeClub President: Mrs. Fred T. Given, Jr., (Jane Ozlin, '52) 1130 Hanover Avenue, Norfolk, Virginia 23508.

Eight of us attended a lovely coffee in February as guests of the Peninsula Club.

We enjoyed their wonderful hospitality and hearing news of alumnae activities from Betty Ann Doub.

Our planned dinner-theater party had to be cancelled because of a freak snowstorm in March . The committee, headed by Ann Hanbury Callis, '54, had done a great job making arrangements, and all were disappointed. Our gift to the college would have been boosted by this event.

The Tidewater Club had as our guests, Mrs. Louise Long and Mrs. Jean Dickinson, at our spring luncheon. They brought us up-to-date about the happenings on campus.

Mrs. Long installed the new officers for the next two years: Mrs. Dean Potter (Betty Jane Williams, '53), president; Mrs. George Fisher (Jeanie Harrison, '63), vice-president; and Mrs. David Lewis (Dottie Goodman, '58), secretary-treasurer. We wish them a happy and successful term.

Florence Boston Decker and I were the only members of our class attending Alumnae Weekend.

Ruth Elliott Trice was visiting her daughter's family in Waleska, Georgia. Her son's family departed recently for Germany, where he will have a two and a half year term of military service.

Margaret Michie Robinson is taking on more household duties because of the enlargement of her home near Smithfield.

Anne-Ruth Harris is looking forward to her next medical checkup with hope that she'll be allowed to resume walking after her hip injury.

Mrs. George R. Swann (Virginia Truitt) Buies Creek, North Carolina 27506

A half century after graduation sixteen members of 1919 returned to salute and to be saluted by Alma Mater and to renew friendships that had become deeper with the passing years.

It was a time for many festivities: supper on Friday, May 16, with the Suttons at West Point; breakfast on Saturday in the Alumnae Gardens with Virginia Jones Snead, Virginia Bundick Mayes, and Elvira Miller Abernathy; luncheon on Saturday as guests of the Alumnae Association; and breakfast on Sunday with Elizabeth Tompkins. Other extras were the water ballet in the swimming pool, a visit to the Fine Arts Building for a stroll by day and for the discerning production of "A Man For All Seasons" at night.

Miss Pauline Turnbull, Miss Fanny G. Crenshaw, and Dr. Mary Louise Gehring joined the following class members in making our 50th a golden occasion : Virginia Bundick Mayes, Isabelle Feild Gatling, Virginia Lee Gay, Elizabeth Gaines, Margaret Hutchison Rennie, Virginia Jones Snead, Mildred Lewis McDanel, Elvira Miller Abernathy, Catherine Nottingham Richardson, Lillian Robertson Carter, Esther Sanford Jett, Margaret Semmes McKillop, Edith Sydnor, Frances Shipman Sutton, Virginia Truitt Swann and Elizabeth Tompkins.

Mrs. Bartee E. Corprew (Dorothy Sadler) 7100 Horsepen Road Richmond, Virginia 23226

Since it is the season, shall we begin with weddings in the news? Margaret Terpstra Copenhaver and W. Richard Broaddus were married last fall, and we wish them every happiness in their marriage.

Since· he is an alumnus of Richmond College, perhaps they will both come back to the campus more often from Martinsville .

Also Jane Waters Gardner wrote that her daughter, Anne, was to be married, on April 12, to Robert Sturgiss. They plan to live near Philadelphia for at least two years, so Jane is delighted at that prospect.

Another Anne, Ethney Selden Headlee's daughter, flew to Hawaii to be with her husband, Major Earl Patterson, on his rest and recreation leave from Vietnam.

Gladys Nuckols Wood came all the way from Waynesboro to the Fund Workers meeting in February, and so did Virginia Kent Loving from Fluvanna. We had a fine exchange of ideas at the meeting, and welcome visits with friends at the luncheon afterward. We missed Sallie Davis as a good worker, but all the more because of the illness of her niece. We are so sorry to hear of that.

Mildred Campbell Broome writes from England that she is planning her summer studies in short courses on Dickens, and the artists-Goya and DelaCroix. When she was here last October, she and I visited our Virginia Museum, and to me it was a delightful afternoon . She evidently absorbed her energy from her British compatriots , for she spent her time in a whirl of visits to her daughters, Judy and Barbara; to other relatives; to Josephine Tucker and Mildred Pulliam Stone.

"Pully" is enjoying Robert's retirement as much as he, since they can now exchange frequent visits with their children, Robert

and Anne, and their six grandchildren.

Nellie Saunders Early usually sees the Stones on passing through en route to her Florida home at the change of seasons. She sends us all greetings by Mildred.

Ardys Houser Gwynn lives in Florida, too, but goes to see her son and his family in Kansas City.

Louise Beck (Becky) Morris lives in (or near) Chicago, and has such an interesting position in the Museum of Natural History there. Her son had been stationed in Japan, so she had been out there to see him and his family, which includes a small granddaughter.

I had a quite brief chance meeting with Camilla Wimbish Lacy in "downtown Richmond" this winter . She was here for the day only, attending to various errands, but it is always a pleasant surprise to see classmates that way.

Anyone for the U of R tours this summer? Dora and Dennis Hartz went to the Pacific with the one last summer, and had a fine trip.

Keep the news coming in, and come back to college often. Homecoming Weekend last fall gave us the performance of Oliver!, the dinner which was well attended by '23, and the dedication of the Fine Arts Building, among other events. We are all so proud of the building, and Hannah Coker just revels in her fine new music library.

Miss Gladys Sanders 2237 W. Grace Street Richmond, Virginia 23220

In case you did not see the section of Richmond Times Dispatch for Sunday, April 13, about Historic Garden Week in Virginia-April 19 through 26-1 thought you would be interested in the following about Bladensfield, the home of Evelyn Davidson Ward, which is only a few miles from Warsaw, Virginia.

"Bladensfield, a frame house built above a brick and stone cellar, is believed to be one of the oldest houses in Virginia . It is set back almost a mile from the highway and approached by a tree-bordered lane.

Just behind the house a long garden walk bounded by shrubbery leads toward a clump of trees marking an old family graveyard.

The informal English garden and the numerous outbuildings are gone.

"The house itself remains completely unrestored, having survived with few changes since the late 17th century . Today Bladensfield is the home of William Randolph Ward, son of the youngest of twelve children. This unusual 17th Century house, which contains most of the original woodwork as well as many interesting objects collected through the years, is being opened to the public for the first time."

I have informed the Alumnae Office that I am relinquishing my duty as secretary of our class after turning in news for this issue.

If a member of 1925 will be class secretary until our reunion in 1970, please let the Alumnae Office or me hear from you.

Mrs. Verrick o. French (Gray Robinson) 3545 S. Leisure World Blvd.

I was afraid for awhile that there would be no news from the Class of '28 in this issue of the Bulletin. Fortunately I was able to pick up a few items just before the deadline.

At the Washington Branch Alumnae luncheon, in April, I found two members of the class, Emerald Bristow Stradley and Elnora Hubbard Robinson. Emerald lives

and works in Washington, though I didn't get to talk to her long enough to learn what she does. Elnora was visiting a niece from one of the Virginia suburbs. She expected to go to visit other relatives and friends in Virginia before returning to her home in New York State. She is thinking of a permanent move southward though her plans are not yet definite.

Louise Eubank Gray was visiting her son in Springfield, Virginia, and I saw her at the home of Frances Kerr Barnett. Frances and Louise are related somehow though I'm not sure what the relationship is. Frances attended Westhampton for two years, from the fall of '27 to the spring of '29, when she transferred to Meredith College. I knew her as a neighbor in Silver Spring before I discovered that she went to Westhampton.

We were all so distressed at the death of her only son, Blanton S. Barnett, during the winter. Blanton was a Richmond College graduate, had served as a Marine helicopter pilot in Vietnam, and was a flight instructor at Pensacola, Florida, at the time of his death. His death was caused by complications following pneumonia. Louise proved to be a source for many items of information. She is still teaching and counseling at a high school in King and Queen County.

Her invalid mother lives with her.

Among the news I gleaned from Louise was the fact that Kathleen Allen had returned to King and Queen County to be with her mother who is in failing health.

Kathleen is serving as President of the Women's Club at King and Queen Court House. Dixie Baker Owens was recently I presented with another granddaughter. failed to learn whether or not it was her first or the last of many.

Last of all, I heard from Betty Sherman Cale, who is living in Accra, Ghana, for eighteen months, while Ed is on an assignment with a consulting firm . This fact was noted in the last issue of the Bulletin. She wrote that they are comfortably settled in an air conditioned apartment with neighbors from many countries. She mentioned especially those from England, Ireland, The Netherlands, and the U. S. The climate is quite warm and the flowers beautiful. In an earlier letter she mentioned some local points of interest and the colorful clothing of the people. Perhaps we can look forward to a continuation of her fortieth reunion talk to us. It sounds as if she's in a good situation to gather material.

Do please send me any news of interest about yourself or our classmates. The writing of the report would be simple if news weren't so hard to come by.

Mrs. Hampton Wayt, Jr. (Clare Johnson) 4804 Rodney Road Richmond, Virginia 23230

May 16, 1969, was a big day in the lives of 21 "twenty-niners." Some of us were back for our first reunion, Annie Boyd Morecock, Charlotte Farmer, Lina Light and our new secretary Thelma Ferrell Burnham.

Others were back for the first time in twenty years. We wished for the rest of you, who had wanted to come, but couldn't make it-maybe next time.

In all the excitement of the evening and in the process of changing secretaries under such circumstances, the news went to Alexandria with Thelma and information she needed about deadlines etc. was lost over at Helen's, so you will have to wait until fall for your news. It promises to be good. Thelma has spent much time writing.

Will you send her your news? Mrs. Francis Burnham, 407 Tyler Place, Jefferson Park, Alexandria, Virginia 22302.

Before I say goodbye let me thank all of you for your support of the Alumnae Fund drives. We are proud of what you have done. We think it's good.

Mrs. John Edward Millea (Priscilla Kirkpatrick) 8 Mt. Ida Street Newton, Massachusetts 02158

The Explorers' Club has nothing on our Helen Strickland! The following is an excerpt from an article which Helen sent to me. It appeared in the Auburn, Calif., Journal, January 16, 1969.

"Dr. Helen Strickland and Dr. Mary Lamy, both of the staff of the Placer County Office of Education, returned early this month from a six week trip to Nepal.

The two women walked 170 miles to the base of Mt. Everest, accompanied by a group of 12 Sherpas and porters.

The pair comprised what was probably the first expedition solely for women into this area.

Dr. Strickland and Dr. Lamy left Sacramento by air on November 22, stopping at Tokyo and Bangkok en route. They arrived at Katmandu, capital of Nepal, on Thanks giving Day. Arrangements for their trip to Thyanboche, a lamasery at the foot of Everest, were made by a retired British army officer who resides at Katmandu.

In the accompanying party were three Sherpas, who served as guide, cook and waiter; and nine porters who carried baggage, packed in baskets weighing 65 pounds each on their heads and backs.

The trip was accomplished in stages of from eight to 15 miles a day over many steep ridges. There were no hotels, each night being passed in camp. No vehicles were seen on the entire trek.

The average altitude was above 10,000 feet, rising in places to 13,000.

Although accompanied only by native guides who spoke few words of English, the two women said they encountered no difficulty.

The country is cut by many swift rivers, which were crossed on small swinging bridges, Dr. Strickland said. A number of these had been built by Sir Edmund Hillary, who took this route on his successful climb of Everest.

Fifteen days were required to reach Thyanboche, hiking generally from 6 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day. There were two rest days, one spent at the lamasery, where spectacular views of Everest and adjoining peaks were obtained.

A slightly different route was taken on the way back, making it possible to cut four days off the trek, for a total of 30 days.

On the way home, Dr. Strickland and Dr. Lamy stopped at Calcutta and Hong Kong.

Dr. Strickland is curriculum specialist, and Dr. Lamy is guidance consultant in the Office of Education."

A happy summer to you all!

Elizabeth Clary Broaddus, Sue McClure Jones, Mary Pat Early Love, Nan Owen Manning, Lola Williams Pierce, Rhea Talley Stewart, Susan Whittet Wilson, and I thank all of you who have contributed so generously to the Alumnae Fund this year. If you have not sent your gift, please do it now!

Rhea Talley Stewart had an operation on her feet, and while recovering she wore soft embroidered nomad boots that she bought in Afghanistan with no thought that they would be so useful. Assembling material for her book keeps her busy.

Sue McClure Jones left in the latter part of April for five weeks in Europe.

Do you know what 1970 means to the Class of '35?

Her daughter's husband is a professor at Florida State, and Sarah lives with her daughter and her husband during the school week and returns to her home in Winter Park on the week-end.

Sue Bonnett Chermside's daughter, Mary, was married last July.

Martha Riis Moore's daughter, Nancy, was married this spring to Robert R. Merhige III. Bobby Brock Clevinger's daughter, Nancy, has just completed her freshmen year at Westhampton.

We all extend our deepest sympathy to Marjorie Pugh Tabb on the loss of her father, and to Florence Marston Harvey on the loss of her mother.

Our last communication to Beulah Louise Gregory Thorpe (Mrs. M. W. Thorpe) was returned. Does anyone know her present address? If so, please drop me a line.

Mrs. A. L. Jacobs (Anne Scott Campbell) 203 Santa Clara Drive Richmond, Virginia 23229

We really had fun at our reunion! We had only two regrets - first, that everyone couldn't be with us, and, second, that no tape recorder was on hand to catch the remarks made by the men while the photographer was struggling unsuccessfully to keep us still and quiet long enough to snap our group picture. (He finally succeeded by screaming, "Girls, girls!") That did it!

Dot Wood and Charlotte Schrieberg did a great job of planning the dinner. Those attending were: Libby and Hunter Jackson, Elizabeth and Norman Fowlkes, Scotty and Petey Jacobs, Mae and Penn Shifflett, Betty and Bruce Van Buskirk, Marian and Dick Smith, Bunny and David Freeman, Christine Duling Sponsler, Anne and Conway Reges-

ter , Judy Florance, Evaline Flow Wells, Cassandra and Bentley Hite , Margaret and Jack Quick, Evelyn and Ken Angus , Sarah and George Jones , Ruth and Frank Kinson, Lois and Howard Mercer, Milly and Arthur Jackson, Pat and Frank Kelly, Elizabeth and Bob Driscoll, Kate and Al Klaffky , Cally Ross Lewis, Charlotte and Henry Schrieberg , Dot and Charlie Wood, Edith and John Covert , Felicia Turman Prendergast , Marian and Julian Ellett, and Garland and Gregory Brookes. Joining us for the alumnae luncheon were Mary Jones Ea rp, Paula Smith Mackey and Ellen Warner Wilson. This made a total of thirty one class members returning for our celebration. We had letters of regret from Charlotte Beale, Elsie Bradshaw Kintner, Martha Elliott Deichler, Dippy Danner Hyharrow, Sarah Virginia Bowen, Mary Anne Brockenbrough, and Jackie Faulkner Dixon. With the aid of an opaque projector we danced around the maypole once more and screamed with unbelief at the long skirts we wore in our college days.

Marian Wiley Ellett and Garland Wilson Brookes were elected co-presidents for the next five years and Judy Florance will be Alumnae Fund Chairman . Please send all new s items to : Mrs . J . D. Ellett, 1908 Field Road, Rockford Park Manor, Wilmington, Delaware . Thanks again for all the cooperation you have given me during the past five years . I know you will continue it with Marian, Garland and Judy .

Many of our class have offspring graduating from college this June .. . hard as it is to realize! Those who come to mind are Emma Bee Waldrop Cruickshank's son, Doug, who will graduate from Randolph Macon and hopes to go on to graduate school ; Mary Grace Scherer Taylor 's daughter , Marilyn, who graduates from Longwood ; Nancy Davis Parkerson's son, Bill, from the University of Virginia ; and Helene Weinfeld Shapiro's daughter from Westhampton! There are many more, but none of you have told me about them.

Our Richmond newspaper gave us news that Clarine Cunningham Bergren's son, David, was married in Richmond in May .

Clarine and David were here for the wedding , but we didn't see them. Speaking of weddings, we heard that Ann Gwaltney Harwood was married in November, but haven't heard who the groom is. Will you please send us a change of name, Ann? Also Sally Gonzalez Seavers was married , and is now Mrs . James Breathed, Petersburg, W . Va. 26847.

Nancy Davis Parkerson has a change of address to 9814 St. Julians Lane, Richmond, Virginia 23229 . They moved in April, and are still getting things straight .

Our class members are active in many directions . Harriet Howe Byrider has been elected first vice-president 1n the Catholic Woman's Club . She and her family are planning to go to Nag's Head in- August for vacation . Ann Smith Palazzo has recently been elected president of the Women of the Church at River Road Presbyterian Church. Ann had heard fairly recently from Virginia Parker Dozier , whose permanent home now is California . "Jute" says she gets to Virginia occasionally in the summer, as her parents are still in Emporia. She has one son going to law school in September , and one a junior at San Jose Junior College.

Her grandchild was 3 years old March 3, so she believes she was the first grandmother in the class unless Ann Harwood beat her. Jute's husband retired from the navy 5 years ago, and works for the city of Los Altos, California. She expects to go back to teaching with three in college.

I had a nice chat with Lila's father , John J. Wicker, Jr. , in May , and got news of Lila . She and her family have moved to Box 275, Rt. I , Lytle Creek, California , in the middle of the old gold fields. Their three children are now ages 16, 18, and 21.

Louise (Wiley) and John Willis, and Bob and I were among the proud parents at Westhampton May Day . John Willis was one of the dancers in "Uncle Tom 's Cabin" (a la "The King and I"), a very good production. Their daughter, Betty, a Westhampton senior next fall , is working at Oak Ridge this summer. She is a chemistry major and a dean's list student.

My daughter Carolyn was a member of the May court. The fathers escorted their daughters in the afternoon festivities in the Greek Theater; so Bob had a chance to be in Westhampton's May Day, too .

Barbara Fuller Cox has received a second certificate in the Sogetsu School of Ikebana . . . sort of like a master's degree in Japanese flower arranging. Her daughter, Susan, made both the medley relay and freestyle relay teams of the Peninsula Swimming Team last winter.

As alumnae secretary, Louise Cardozo Long flew down to Atlanta to visit the local alumnae club there. She was delighted to see Pam Henry Carpenter, who was there with two of her lovely daughters .

Our twenty fifth reunion was the best thing that has happened to me in a long time and as I recall the din after that wonderful dinner at Billy Jane 's I'm sure the feeling was unanimous . The news we shared was as colorful and varied as Anne McElroy MacKenzie's tale about their ghost and Gene Shepard Keever 's report on 'politicing', and for a few hours we enjoyed being 'just us' as Gene put it- 'not anyone's wife, mother, chauffeur , P.T .A. president or Sunday School teacher.'

There were twenty two of us at B.J.'s Friday night:-Norma Sanders Granley , Anne MacKenzie, (her address is 11523 Osage Road, Box 23123, Anchorage, Kentucky 40223), Gene Keever, Evermond Hardee Daniel, Mimi Hill Boynton, Nancy DeJarnette Hansen, Betsy Rice, Dot Monroe Hill , Millie Cox Goode, Mary Bowden Felger, Ellen Mercer Clark Maxwell, Gloria Tyler Robertson, Nat Lum , Helen Curtis Patrick, Ann Thruston Filer , Louise Walters Hill , Mary Alderson Graham, Dee Dee Howe Kirk , Ann Burcher Stansbury , Mary Lee Smith Chapin, and of course B.J. and I. Fran Kennard Wolf sent a beautiful floral arrangement to B.J .'s with a card that read, "To all the '44's with best wishes in the years ahead". Our warmest thanks and best wishes to you too , Fran.

A smaller group attended the get-together at Ann Filer's Saturday night where several husbands were included and another evening was thoroughly enjoyed. Some of us missed seeing Mary Ellen Petzinger Crumpler and her husband who were only at Ann's, but we're glad they were able to share in some of the fun.

The weather was beautiful all weekend

and we enjoyed so much the Alumnae Day luncheon Saturday and all the events planned for us on campus. It was hard to leave it all again but we are already looking forward to next time.

Billy Jane asked me to be sure to thank all of you who responded to her letter and questionnaire and contributed money for the scrapbook and postage. We enjoyed the letters, pictures and newspaper clippings so much. There's a lot of news and I'll bring you up to date in the next issue or two.

We've 'found' Martha Jane Burnette, (Mrs. C. Alvis Edwards) . Nell Collins Thompson sent us her address. It's 1325 Cardinal Road, West Columbia, South Carolina. Thanks Nell. Write soon, Martha, and tell us about yourself. We're still without the addresses and news of Mary Addison Pence, Emily Hensley Weick and Nancy Lubasch Markson. If anybody knows, please pass the word along, won't you? We just can't let any of our class get out of touch altogether.

In Nell's letter, written to B.J. in April, she said that her husband had lost his sight in 1967. He is a student at Arkansas Enterprises for the Blind in Little Rock until August and by then he hopes to have a useful future in some capacity. We are all so sorry to hear this and sincerely wish him well. Nell brought her daughter, Robin, to see Westhampton this spring . Robin will graduate from high school in another year.

We just learned last weekend that Kay Sanderson Culpepper's daughter, Kathy, is a freshman at W.C. this year. Please, all of you, let us know when a daughter comes to Westhampton. This is very special news.

I'm sorry I didn't get to talk more with Mary Lee. I used to see her at the N.Y. Chapter meetings of W.C. Alumnae. But I didn 't talk with anybody long enough.

How the time flew! I did learn that her husband is a music and drama critic and their little girl, Julia, is ten years old now and a student at Friends Seminary in New York City.

Louise Walters Hill is a tax examiner for the Internal Revenue Service, so watch it, girls. She's had some nice trips to the Bahamas and many of the Caribbean Islands. She and Hudson are looking forward to retirement in five years and more traveling.

Mary and Ted Felger have been to the Bahamas, too, as have Mary Graham and Millie Goode. Kathy Felger, who is a high school student now, is going on the A.I.A. tour of Europe this summer.

The air is just full of travel plans.

Gloria is planning another trip to Europe this July and Ellen Mercer told us that she and Keith have been seeing Europe over the past five years and are planning their sixth trip this summer, concentrating on Ireland, ,Scotland and England this time .

Anyone traveling via Bowling Green has an invitation to stop in and see Nancy DeJarnette and George Hansen. Hope to, myself, some day.

When asked about travel, Mimi answered, "chiefly in circles". She has five children, sews, is active in church and civic affairs and has been taking classes this year at the Fine Arts Center. I like Dee Dee's answer.

She said, "Love to . Where?" Me too, Dee Dee. Evermond is a hard act to follow. She was a wonderful secretary to whom we are all very grateful. It takes nerve for me to ask you to write since I've done so little of it myself, but please keep in touch .

Many, many thanks to the Twenty Fifth Reunion Committee; Ann Stansbury, Dee Dee Kirk, Louise Hill, Mary Graham, Ann Filer and Billy Jane Baker. It was wonderful from beginning to end and how we hated to see it end.

I am a "bit short" on news this time. I suppose we are all just too busy to write.

For the fall issue I will need news by September 10.

Betty Adair's daughter, Temple, will enter Westhampton next year . In addition to professional activities, I have started on the doctorate degree with my first course, "Educational Measurements." Then there is golf, yard, and boating-water activities for the ·'spare time ."

Before I leave "office" next December, hope to mail copies of class address list.

Any corrections? Who takes over next?

Mrs. A. Howe Todd (Joyce Eubank) 1600 Wilmington Avenue Richmond, Virginia 23227

I am so happy to have a letter from Ding Lambeth Shotwell lo share with you as it is my only news item. It's just that time of year , I'm sure-too late for Christmas news and too early for vacation news. This is the one time of year when it's so i1ice to be out of school-no exams-except now we agonize with our children as they go through them.

Ding's letter of March 17 said their trip to the Mediterranean World in December and January was a marvelous family experience-except that they were flying into Athens and Bierut just after they were attacked by Israeli and Arab terrorists. But the worst that happened was a half-day delay in schedule . The Shotwells are now planning another tour to Europe in the summer of 1970; also a trip to the Holy Land, Egypt, Greece and Rome in February of 1970.

Ding plans to teach next fall-social studies and English in a local junior high school, partnered with another homemaker who only wishes to work a half-day. Isn't that a good idea-wish they had a similar set-up in Richmond.

Their oldest daughter graduated from high school in June. She has been accepted at Baypath and hopes to go into executive secretarial work.

The mail man just came as I was about to end this letter-and that's the honest truth .

He brought a grand letter from Peggy Clark Bowdler so I'll write on awhile longer. Bill has been the American Ambassador to El Salvador since last November. Let me quote from Peggy's letter: "It is a most interesting little country and a very beautiful one . In just a few hours time you can travel from the coastal plain, planted with sugar cane and cotton, up through the highlands with their acres of coffee trees growing under the protective shade of taller trees, and beyond them to the almost alpine pineforested mountains. The country is dotted with volcanoes (many very active at the moment) and beautiful crater lakes. Gardens and country-side are full of beautiful flowering trees at this time of the year; (we're just at the beginning of the rainy season). We can almost set our watches every evening by the flight of great flocks of wild parrots on their way back to the volcano to roost.

Lest it sound like an absolute paradise, I should add that it is a very poor country, struggling against great odds to improve the lot of its people ."

Peggy writes that their children are thriving in the American School in San Salvador, all except Jim, who finishes at Christ Church this spring with plans to enter the University of Virginia in September.

Betty Bowdler Muirden and her family are

back in New Haven where her husband heads the modern language department at Hartford University.

Have a nice summer, all of you, and go mark on your calendars right away-to send me a post card by September 1st, with news for the next Alumnae Bulletin. Don 't forget the Alumnae Fund.

Dottie James Foster and Junie's son, Darrell, a sophomore at Richmond College, was cited by the University's Epsilon Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa for "his high scholastic achievement and outstanding promise."

He worked as a civil service employee last summer at the Norfolk Naval Air Station , and plans to do the same this summer.

Their second son, Richard, is a good athlete and will enter college in the fall. David and Lynn complete their family, and they are pleased to be back in Virginia. They are living in Virginia Beach where Junie 's church is located.

Pat Guild Robertson works four days a week as a library clerk in two elementary schools. Her son, John, is a high school junior; Claudia is an eighth grader ; and Patti is in 6th grade.

Polly Jones Cousins is also teaching this year in a junior high school.

Anne Higgins Borger hosted her local Westhampton Alumnae luncheon in April.

They enjoyed having the new Alumnae Secretary, Louise Cardoza Long .

Howie Bingham Kiser and Kent have a busy ministry in Trenton, New Jersey .

Howie says they are working to ease some of the tensions of the city which has had its problems during the past few years.

Howie is church secretary and active in the work of the church. Their daughter, Lissa, is a 10th grader and was admitted to the Humanities Program of her high school.

We are continuing to find Guam a busy and exciting place. This island is becoming more important as it is the western most territory of the United States . The people of Guam became U. S. citizens in 1950, and we have none of the demonstrations or unrest currently taking place on the mainland . Alston and Hal will return for the summer, and Carole is graduating from high school this spring and will enter the University of Guam in the fall. Stuart is a fourth grader at St. John's Prep School.

Mrs. E. T. Gray (Pamela Burnside) Waverly, Virginia 23890

At least one of our group has been very active in furthering the welfare of animals used in research for drugs and surgery. As president of the Talbot County Humane Association, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland , Seth Darrow Shannahan has been relentless in her fight against the laboratory animal dealers who are inhumanly cruel to the dogs and cats they acquire by one means or another. This committee, called WARDS, urges us all to write our senators and congressmen to ask their continued support of PL 89-544. This bill wisely puts research animals in the charge of veterinarians under the U. S. Department of Agriculture and it could put an end to inhuman treatment of animals. Please write Seth for further details.

A nice card from Beth Holcomb reported that they had moved to a larger house and that her new address is 4137 Woodridge Drive , S.W., Roanoke, Virginia 24018. Her

25

oldest son, Charlie, graduates this year and plans to go to the University of Virginia next fall. Kathy is a junior, Paul is a sophomore, and Bill, her youngest, is in the first grade! Beth says she does a lot of substitute teaching . She wrote that Ellen and her family, who are still in Amory, Miss., are getting ready for a month's trip to Hawaii in May. Ellen has two girls, Lynn, 10, and Heather, 9. The two families plan a summer reunion.

From Sara Brenner Rubin comes news that Mark, her oldest, will be off to the University of North Carolina next year.

Sara keeps busy teaching Hebrew in the afternoons .

Kitty Candler Martin writes that she has retired from teaching to homemaking, although she substitutes now and then. This summer she is looking forward to decorating her husband's family home. This is a very old place which was built on an original land grant from the King of England around 1700. Sounds fascinating! Her younger daughter, 13, will be camping, while Kitty tries to prepare her older daughter for the initial college plunge at Hollins this fall.

Hannah Barlow Bain has had a winter filled with hospital trips for her two children. They are both home now and looking forward to the summer.

Our class was well represented during Alumnae Week-end, with Jean Brumsey Biscoe serving as chairman and Betty Hickerson Butterworth, Mary Cross Marshall and Peggy Stone Cunningham assisting in what was our biggest Alumnae Week-end to date . Later that day, we were sorry to learn of the death of Peggy's father. Our sympathy goes out to her.

Faye Hines Kilpatrick, Bob, and three of their five children came from Connecticut to join the fun. Bob was running for president of Richmond College Alumni Association and, though defeated, it was a nice honor.

Sara Brenner Rubin and Lois McClanahan Garrett were out for the activities, too. Next year hope more of you can come, since it is fun, even when not our reunion year."

My last bit of news is that Elmon and 1 took a short vacation to Europe this spring.

We toured Spain, where I was a little dis mayed that my Spanish was so rusty and ended our trip with a few days in Vienna.

We had a marvelous time! The day after our return our Chesapeake retriever presented us with eight puppies so they are keeping me busy now.

Have a g0od summer and write me of your doings!

What a wonderful reunion we all had.

Even though we didn't have as large a percentage coming back, those of us who were here had a marvelous time.

We started out Friday night with cocktails and dinner at the Country Club of Virginia. Twenty-three girls came for this with seventeen of them bringing their husbands. Audrey Bradford Saupe got the award for coming the longest way (all the way from Mexico City) . Miss Rivenberg, our class sponsor joined us, also .

Saturday we all went out to the college with twenty-one girls returning. What fun to see all the improvements made since we were there. The new Fine Arts Building was fantastic .

Saturday night Mary Ann Williams opened her home to us. You've never heard such

26

talking as we all tried to catch up on the last five years. It's such a shame to have to wait five more years to do this again.

This will be my last letter as class secretary . Ida Eanes Patrick will be your secretary for the next two years. Her address is: Mrs. A. Woodfin Patrick, Jr., 4028 Monito1 Dr., Hampton, Va. For the 3rd and 4th years Lou Winn Mccutcheon has agreed to serve and then Marilyn Alexander Kubu will be our reunion secretary. Please send all your news to either your group leader or these girls.

Anne Bing Abbitt has been transferred from Ohio to Delaware but I don't have her address. She had planned to come for the reunion but was moving at the same time.

Mitzi Verra Williams writes that they have organized a Greensboro-High PointWinston-Salem Alumnae Club of which she is chairman . She has gone back to work as a full time Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor with the Winston-Salem schools. Mitzi's daughter, Lisa, enters high school this year and her son, Pat, junior high school. Mitzi and Jack came up for the reunion on Saturday.

Jane and Mick McManigal came all the way from New Jersey with wonderful pictures of their children. Randy and Dick Ellis came from Philadelphia. We got to hear first hand about their fabulous tennis

courts and Randy's art show. Randy brought the scrap book which she had completely redone and brought up to date. She really did a bang up job. Mary Ann Williams has agreed to be permanent custodian of the scrap book so please send her any clippings about you and your family.

Lou and Ben McCutcheon were here from Durham. Lou has a beautiful daughter entering college next year. Flo Gray Tullidge came from Staunton by herself as Tommy got tied up in court at the last minute. Her daughter enters Salem College this fall.

Peggy and Bill Barnett were here . . Peggy took some of us through her fabulous bridal shop. Martha Hall was also here.

She and Peggy were comparing notes on their respective shops . Jean Moody Vincent came from Emporia . Her husband couldn't come with her as he was recovering from an operation. Marian Lee Hall McTyre came from Winston-Salem looking so young we were all very jealous.

Cynthia and Jack Lawson, Khaki and Warren Spratley, Ida and Woody Patrick, / Charlotte and Henry Mullins, and Elaine and Bill Davis all came from the Tidewater area . Won't mention the Richmond girls as we are always here but you can judge from those I have mentioned that we all had a glorious time.

Mrs. R. M. Martin (Jean Tinsley) 9510 Newhall Road Richmond, Virginia 23229

During Garden Week, Rosa Lou Soles Johnston of Kilmarnock visited Richmond and Libby Givens Pierce had a luncheon for her, Gene Hart Joyner, and Vivian Betts Lewis.

Libby has a son to be proud of! The

Furniture Division of the Retail Merchants Association of Richmond has presented its annual "Outstanding Distributive Education Student of the Year" award to Walter B. Pierce, a senior at Thomas Jefferson High School. Walter, Libby's oldest son, was selected to represent Tee-Jay for his interest and active participation in his class on-thejob experience and civic responsibility.

Jo Martens is at home recuperating from an operation she had this spring. Our best to her for a speedy recovery .

This spring, Doris Balderson Burbank started tutoring several boys at The Richmond Home For Boys. This has been quite a challenge to her as well as a pleasure.

During the summer months I hope you will take time to snap a picture of your family and send it to me, for our 20th (is it possible?) reunion will be next May, and I would like to have a snapshot of each one of you and your family to show at our reunion. Along with your snapshot, will you send me your ideas for our reunion?

Please let me hear from each of you.

'51

Mrs. John D. Kelton (Paula Abernethy) 1275 Bonita Avenue Berkeley, California 94709

My leave of absence as your class news gatherer was shorter than expected! In March Bobbie Brown Yagel wrote that she was recovering from a skiing accident in which she managed to break her leg in three places-requiring a full hip to toe cast for five months, followed by a month of therapy. Thanks to Myron, the children, and friends, she is doing fine. We all wish you a speedy recovery, Bobbie, and thankyou for filling in on the class news.

If you want to feel old, guess who is ready to enroll at Westhampton? Our class baby-cup winner, Susan Johnson, (Nancy Taylor Johnson's daughter) paid a visit to Westhampton this spring, as well as to some other colleges. Susan is a junior in high school, an excellent student, and is president of the state Latin society in New Jersey. (The Johnsons live in Chatham, N. J., where Lit works for Durkee Foods).

We wish Westhampton luck in enticing Susan.

Lit and Nancy enjoyed a trip to San Francisco in November. While Lit was busy with his convention, Nancy toured the city and surrounding area. She especially enjoyed the scenic drive around Carmel and the "ding-a-linging" of the cable cars in San Francisco. We're sorry we didn 't know they were in this area or we would have persuaded them to stay a few days and avoid Las Vegas, which was a great disappointment, according to Nancy .

Speaking of baby cup winners, Helen Hensley reports that she may have missed the first one but she bets she qualifies for the last. (Any challengers?) Little Mary Helen Hensley was born on February 23, her sister Beth's tenth birthday . Helen is fine .. . busy just 25 hours a day, she says.

Dick has just accepted head coaching job back at Martinsville High School. Their new address, after June, will be 1721 Meadowbrook Lane, Martinsville, Virginia 24112.

Another move will be made by Ann and Buddy Rosser . Buddy assumed duties in May as pastor of Monument Heights Baptist Church in Richmond . They have been at Belmont Baptist Church in Roanoke since 1962.

Congratulations are in order for Frances Allen Schools. Fran just received first place award in the state from Virginia Press Women for publicity and promotion in a combination of media. The award was for work with the National Tobacco Festival.

She has worked with such notables as Rowan and Martin, Paul Anka, Vaughan Monroe, Tex Beneke, and the U. S. Navy Blue Angels during the year; and to top it off, she and Bill had a trip to the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

Beulah Johnson Hooper writes from Africa: "This year we will celebrate our tenth anniversary as missionaries in Kenya.

It is lovely country and a great place to live. Dale is starting radio-TV work for our mission. I'm teaching in a Sunday School class which started as an experiment to see how many were interested in using English.

Our auditorium will seat about 100 and we have over 400 children every Sunday. We desperately need classrooms and trained teachers." The Hooper's thirteen year old son, Rollin, is in boarding school. Ryan, almost four, and Renee, two, keep Beulah busy at home.

It's back to school for Charlotte Herrink Jones, who is taking typing at Roanoke Business College. The Joneses are proud of their son, Dickey, who is president of his junior high this year. Gina Herrink Coppock started teaching in March to finish out the year. Both girls hope to get their families together on the Rappahannock this summer.

Spring vacation found Ann Rogers Crittenden and family at Sea Island, Georgia.

They had a marvelous time and enjoyed sightseeing in Charleston, South Carolina, on the way home. Ann enjoyed seeing Mary Booth Watt when Mary Booth visited in Wilmington this winter.

We express sincere sympathy to Eleanor Wright Weston, who lost both of her parents father on February 28 and recently-her her mother on April 10.

The Keltons are winding up a most eventful year in California and will be heading home the middle of June. We have really travelled the length and breadth of CaliSan Diego and Los Angeles fornia-the area, highlighted by Disneyland, of course; the lovely Santa Barbara beaches before the oil disaster; the spectacular drive up the rugged coast (we N.C. mountaineers marveled at the combination of mountains and seashore); Yosemite in the winter snow and again in the spring with the waterfalls the heaviest in years; the Mother Lode country where the gold is now mined from tourists; and every nook and corner of San Francisco and the Bay Area that we could explore in these few months. Then there has been the very practical side of just living in this melting pot of people-including the hippies! Our children have had the opportunity of going to school in a totally integrated society of many colors and cultures. They have come to appreciate this.

Would that adults could adjust as easily.

I recommend a trip west for all of you!

Mrs. Charles H. Wright (Sarah Barlow) Route 2, Box 165 Smithfield, Virginia 23430

Flying her own plane is Diz StuartAlexander. Diz tells it as it is: "Well, I finally filled a heart's desire and learned to fly .. . earned the license in July 1968.

The next move was obvious . . . why know how to fly without something to fly? So Pandemonium Airways has its first plane, a 1967 Cessna 172-four seater so that friends can also partake of the joys of the skies.

The inaugural trip of any consequence was accomplished in November. Three of us went down to Guadalajara, Mexico and back. Great."

"My work goes well. I keep busy with moon maps and a terrestrial project or two. But geology is fun! It was even the

excuse to fly to Mexico, and actually makes flying over strange terrain just that much more interesting." Shall we expect Diz to fly in for our next reunion? Her new ground address is 123 Seale Ave., Palo Alto, California 94307.

Bev Gilbert Lovell and Bud flew down to St. Croix for a week in the sun in January.

Earlier she went along with Bud to an IBM conference at Hilton Head, S. C., where she enjoyed the marvelous golf course and observing the alligators. Their daughter, Debbie, 16, is anticipating college boards next year.

Swimming as members of the Lancaster Aquatic Club Swim Team are the three sons of Bill and Joyce Bell Cody. Steven and the twins, David and Doug, practice three times a week and compete in AAU meets about once a month. Three year old daughter, Susan, rules the roost. Bill is still working long hours as city editor, but enjoys his work. Joyce is a den mother and involved in church work, bowling, and substitute teaching.

Marilyn McMurray Rishell's husband, Rish, has a challenging new job with KMS to set up international markets for diversified products. The Rishells have bought a lovely, new colonial home in Potomac, Maryland. Marilyn's mother has been helping her find antiques for it. Their oldest, Lisa, is enthusiastic about horseback riding. Lynn, 11 years old, has been a ballet student for the last five years at the Mary Day Ballet School, where she takes lessons three times a week. This keeps Murf busy driving to and fro. For the third year, Lynn danced in the "Nutcracker Suite" put on by the National Ballet at Christmas time in Constitution Hall. Kevin, nine years old, is busy taking drum lessons. Their 'youngest is eight year old Eric.

A very young miss is Anne Marion Breckenridge, born to Bob and Nola Texley Breckenridge on the third of February this vear. Her sister, Betsy, is great at mothering and her brother, Chip, is upstairs the minute she lets out a peep, to see if he can pick her up and rock her. Nola calls her a Precious angel with very pale strawberry blonde hair. Bob was selected to attend the National War College in Washington beginning in August. With the prospect of being in that area for several years, they decided to buy a house. This is a new experience for them, since they usually live in Army quarters on a post. The house is being built, so their address after 15 July will be 5110 Pumphrey Drive, Fairfax, Va. 22030. My special thanks go to Nola for sharing so much news with us this time.

One of our loveliest classmates has been trudging through swamps. Here is the fascinating account from Barbara Ferre Phillips: "Our biggest change is that Marion left his job with International Paper Company to go into business for himself, as a consultant forester. I was his woods assistant for three months, which was unusual for me. I was officially his "rear chain man" and "tally man". I trudged through the Mississippi swamps complete with work boots and snake leggings. He now has a new assistant (male) and I am home being secretary." Barbara worked for the First Baptist Church last summer as Summer Youth Director . She had outdoor activities for primaries and juniors in the mornings.

She also taught beginning art to teenagers, had teen meetings for folk singing, and planned and directed a retreat. One of the highlights of Barbara's year was going to the Richmond-Mississippi Southern game and seeing Richmond win!

I combined a promised first trip to Washington, D. C. for my eight-year-old daughter with our first flight by jet. Twenty-five minutes from Newport News to Washington

meant an unfinished breakfast enroute!

Eleanor Persons Hayes meanwhile had braved the rush hour traffic and was waiting for us at the National Airport. Her Bobby and Linda went with us into several places suc h as the Pentagon and Bureau of Printing and Engraving. Bob and Eleanor have a modern apartment with swimming pool and tennis court privileges just outside Washington in Forestville, Maryland. They were in Philadelphia for a week in May. Bobby's class was planning a school trip to Gettysburg and Linda's, a trip to Williamsburg.

Thanks to you who worked for the Alumnae Fund '68-'69 and to you who remembered to send your contribution.

Mrs. Robert J. Synovitz (Jane Lanier) 131 Doe Run Macomb, Illinois 61455

Beginning now, your news should be sent to our new secretary: Mrs. Harry Barnes (Costello Washburn) Pocahontas Trail, Basset, Virginia. Good luck, Cos. Welcome to little Mary Catherine Allen, who became the newest '54 offspring on March 25, I 969. The happy parents are Betty Rosenberger Allen and Joe. Congratulations Betty, Joe, and Mary Catherine.

Fifteen years ago we left Westhampton's Gothic walls and pastoral settings-walls and settings which housed our physical selves while our minds and spirits reached beyond toward knowledge and understanding. Fitting indeed it is that we return periodically to renew dear friendships and perhaps re-evaluate and rededicate ourselves.

Such an opportunity came our way this May. Many came and many could not, but whether there or not, we remembered our own special '54 family and found much happiness in those thoughts.

The reunion was grand! Those who came were: Marcella Hammock Bullock, Beverley Burke Dunklee, Peggy Brown Hantzmon, Barbara Bull Tull, Elizabeth Fleet Schmutz, Jane Gill Tombes, E. Linda Goodman Lewis, Mary Lou Gilbert Dorsey, Barbara Tavss Bender, Jane Betts Schmitt, Barbara Moore Flannagan, Edie Jackson Jones, Mary Jane Miller, Nancy Stanley Cockrell, Beverly Priddy Derr, Barbara Cronin Lovell, Sara Sherman Cowherd, Polly Newman Smith, Cos Washburn Barnes, Becky Pilcher Wellford, Jean Burgess Sadler, Nancy Graham Harrell, Sue Perry Downing, Jo Sue Leonard Simpson, Laura Mapp, Betty Garter Dillard and Shirley Ward Wingfield.

On Friday night, May 16th, a fried chicken patio dinner was held at the home of Beverly Burke Dunklee with food furnished by the Richmond girls. Sara Sherman Cowherd and Becky Pilcher Wellford did a marvelous job of organizing. Afterwards everyone went inside for coffee, conversation, and business. Reports were read and new officers were elected. They are: Sara Sherman Cowherd, president; Costello Washburn Barnes, secretary; and Beverly Priddy Derr, financial chairman. Congratulations and good luck to all of them.

Peggy Brown Hantzmon then showed slides of our 10 year reunion and some of her children (which she said was the price for seeing the reunion pictures).

Mary Jane Miller gave a delightful tea on Saturday afternoon, May 17. A highlight was listening to a tape which arrived minutes before from Barbara Magyar who is currently the only member of the DaNang Chapter of the Westhampton Alumnae Association. Everyone enjoyed hearing her tell about her impressions of Vietnam and her many interesting activities there.

Saturday night was more conversation and more laughter at the home of Nancy

27

Graham Harrell.

Several husbands were present.

De serving special attention was a letter from Mary Fred Bowman Smith who could not attend. She wrote that she, Ed , and children are busy making prep arations for an African safa ri which they won at a church lottery . Bon voyage.

Classmates of '54, it has been a wonderful experience for me to be class secretary for the past five years. Thank you so much for your cooperation and your news. I especially want to thank my group leaders who have worked so faithfully writing notes , gathering and relaying news. Thank you Mary Lou Gilbert Dorsey , Sue Perry Downing , Linda Goodman Lewis , and Shirley Ward Wingfield . As for me . . . au revoir , mes amis. Let us keep in touch.

Peggy Graves Butterworth and her committee have worked very hard on the fund raising drive for the Alumnae Fund . Personal letters were mailed to each of you .

If you responded , fine!!! If you did not, the committee wrote you another letter.

Knowing how busy each of these "gals" are, we appreciate their willingness in giving of their time for this worthwhile fund. Wouldn 't it be marvelous if we had I 00 % participation? Well, we can keep on dreaming , can't we? Thanks so very much.

A letter from Indiana, Pennsylvania, stated that Carol Dickerson Kauffman is quite busy . Peg, her daughter, has begun tennis lessons along with her swimming

and ice skating. She certainly is taking after her mother! Wonder if she'll win a white blazer during her freshman year at WC like Carol. Tom, the son, carries stitches and bruises from his active life.

Chester is working on a hunting camp which he bought with a two room cabin.

This is his retreat from the long full days of medicine. Carol is playing tennis in Eagles Mere and Wheeling and teaching a vigorous physical activity class.

From Heidelberg, Germany, Kakie Parr Jen kins writes that it is a great place if you ignore the weather. Her parents have visited them. The boys, Ric and Scott, attended a camp in England last summer.

The whole family got to Garmisch to ski during Thanksgiving and the ride to the top of Germany's highest peak was scary and beautiful. Both of the boys are in Cub Scouts, and so Kakie is a Den Mother. It seems the whole family is enjoying their tenure in Germany.

Joyce Garrett Tidey and husband won a 3 week trip to Europe in the promotion of "Funny Girl". They visited Spain, Italy, France, Holland, and England. Friends kept the children for this vacation. Congratula tions .

Phyllis Lewis Neal and Randy are the proud parents of a baby girl, Ann Ashley (6 lbs. 12 oz.), born May 7th.

This will be my last news letter. Mary Loving Bell Kirby takes over as secretary.

Thanks to each of you for your help. It's been a pleasure serving as your secretary.

A long note from Annette Ellis Osborne brought the class up-to-date on her news.

She and her family are living in Bluefield, West Virginia. Her two boys and two girls keep her quite busy , but she enjoys bridge and golf occasionally.

A note of great excitement and anticipation was received from Libby Jarrett Burger. She and Wilbur have just bought their first home. As of August 1 their address will be 1608 Dogwood Lane, Lynchburg, Virginia 24503 . Wilbur will be beginning practice then with a group of internists.

Add Burger to Scott, Shoton, Sackett and Glen and you have mouthful for the name of the group.

Sarah Ashburn Holder wrote that she and Gene had been quite involved with the building of their new home . As of June I their address will be 1409 Kershaw Drive, Raleigh, N . C. 27609 . Sarah's father died in February. Our sincere sympathy goes to each member of the family.

What a pleasure it was to receive a long note from Marilyn Yates Burkholder.

She and Al are living in South Boston, Virginia, where he is administrator of the Halifax Community Hospital. Their family consists of two boys, ages 9 and 11 and a girl, age 8. Among Marilyn 's outside activities have been president of the South Boston Junior Woman's Club, president of the PT A, Sunday School teaching, work in the hospital auxiliary, membership in a garden club plus three year service as a Scout Den Mother. No wonder she has found it nece ssary to curtail some of this because of her children 's activities.

Nancy Jane Cyrus reported that she and Eddie Knipling Lake attended the Virginia Division American Association of University Women's Convention in Blacksburg, in April, as delegates for the Newport News Branch of AAUW.

Information has been received about three new babies. Brian Thomas Ford, son of Stanley and Katheryn Ford, was born on January 4, 1969. Charles Edward Walton, son of Annette Hasty Walton and Dick, was born on March 9, 1969. Marilyn Mosby Adams, daughter of Marilyn Hunter Adams and Lynn, was born in April of 1969.

Another pleasant surprise was a long note from Nita Glover Eason. She reported that she and Pert had bought an older home on the Elizabeth River in Portsmouth about two years ago and have truly fallen in love with it. A large amount of remodeling was necessary, but apparently this was fun as well as a challenge. Imagine five acres for the boys, ages 5 and 7, to roam and a thousand azaleas to care for. Nita's husband, Pert, is still with Ford Motor Company in Norfolk.

Jean Hudgins Frederick reported that she and her family will be moving back to Richmond in July. Arnold will be finishing his two year tour in the Army and will be entering private practice in urology with a surgical group at Johnston-Willis Hospital.

They will be moving back to their house at 9653 University Blvd.

By the time this information appears in print her family will have increased to four children. Their present address is 4117 Thalia Drive, Virginia Heach, Virginia 23452.

Becky Branch Faulconer passed along several bits of news. Among them was the fact that Carol Brie Griffiths' husband, Harold, returned this spring after a year in Vietnam doing surgery. As for Becky's news, she reported that she will exhibit some paintings in Louisville with others in September, 1969. Her son, Hunter, will be a first grader this fall.

As for your class secretary, I enjoyed a vacation in the Pennsylvania Dutch country in May. The only problem is that vacations don't last forever.

Mrs. Ralph L. Haga, Jr. (Carolyn Nash) Prospect, Virginia 23960

We had a simply wonderful time at our 10th reunion! Everyone looked great-so slim and trim and not a day older! 45 girls enjoyed the delicious buffet prepared by the Richmond 59ers, and 22 attended the luncheon in Keller Hall on Saturday. Saturday night was perfect too. We had 45, with three girls who weren't present Friday night. . Those of us who received your reservations were happy so many of you could come. Gary Moore Barnes came the greatest distance-from Huntsville, Alabama-and Mary Lee Fountain Ward came from Knoxville, Tenn. The big surprise of the evening was Annette Ellis Osborne, whom none of us had seen for years. We all agreed that everyone seems just the same as when we were toiling through W.C. Sara Lee Wilder Ballowe and Carol Berlin Kerpelman drove up from Norfolk Saturday morning, and Emily Tucker Moore and Steve arrived after lunch. I hope a lot of you got to see them.

Of the 108 people on our address list, 101 are married, and our children total 165 (85 boys and 80 girls.) Of these, 69 have been born since our 5th year reunion.

Latest arrivals include a baby boy born to Arlene Olson Jones and O.C., their very first baby, and the first girl arrived at Sue Riley Lambiotte's. Katherine Schools Covington added a boy to their family.

There are at least 8 girls (you don't always keep us up to date!) with four children each: Annette Ellis Osborne, Harriet Stone Anderson, Eleanor Dickson Campbell, Nancy Craig Williams Eaton, Mary Beth Stiff Jordan, Betsy Minor McCommon, Nancy Phillips, and Anita Knip!ing Scott. The record is 5 children, set by Mary Anne Williams Haske. We also have 9 adopted children among us.

Thanks so much to all the Richmond girls who worked so hard to make our reunion a big success, and a special thank you to Bev Eubank Evans for inviting us to her home.

We enjoyed seeing Karen Diedrich Gardner, who came for the weekend and who wants to be a 59er again. She and Jim live at 1900 Lynn Cove Lane, Virginia Beach, 23454, where Jim is an orthopedic surgeon.

They have two daughters, Kari, 11, and Sandy, 6, and a son, Doug, 8.

Patty Lee Sanford (Mrs. Taylor, Jr.) also rejoins our class, coming from New Jersey for the reunion. Taylor is a pilot for TWA, and they have one daughter. Her address: 1-B Lakeview Drive, Kinnelon, New Jersey, 07405. Patty considers herself a 59er since she spent 3 ½ years with us; she got her degree a couple years later.

Emily Tucker is now Mrs. Steve Moore, and has been married for two years.

Steve's with IBM and Emily teaches in junior high school.

Sue Kaufman Wilson, transferred to Richmond, has a different address from the one we have on our address list: 900 David Drive, Richmond, Va ., 23229. There are two Arthur S. Wilson's in Richmond and we "found" the wrong one! Please change this on your list.

Other changes: Jackie Feeman's in Shadwell, Va., 22970. Laverne Watson Edwards' street address is 206 Red Point Drive. Shirley Gordon Highfill's house number is 1282.

Susan Payne was married May 3rd and is Mrs. John Moundalexis. They are living at 1301 S. Arlington Ridge Rd., #701, Arlington, Va. 22202.

Jo Barker Campbell and Otho are at 903 Sylvania Ave., Fredericksburg, Va., 22401.

Otho will teach history at Mary Washington College and Jo, a mathematician at Naval Research Lab in Washington, is transferring to Naval Weapons Lab at Dahlgren.

Eileen Cordle Harris is now reached at Rt. 2, Box 62-C, Clarksville, Va., 23927.

"Even though our April 5 wedding was one great rush, we look back on it fondly. Our trip to Scotland seems like a dream nowone full of rain and snow and sleet and occasional sunshine and of driving on the wrong side of the road and of lambs frolicking across pastures and across the road and of beautifully tended postage stamp yards and of service fit for royalty.

We took 125 slides; we can now bore visitors for hours!"

Gaile Sykes wants us to use her Hawaii address: 750 Amana St., 204; Honolulu, Hawaii 96814. This year she is establishing a high-school-level program for the deaf and hard of hearing on a beautiful campus 3 blocks from her apartment, and continuing at Central Intermediate School. "Have started a new business: designing and marketing hand-crocheted dresses-'Manika', 'Playmate', and 'Eurasian Exotics' labels."

B. B. Harvey Strum has moved into the new house, and is still teaching at Marymount.

Bev Eubank Evans is the new 1st V.P. of the Westhampton Jr. Woman's Club for 1969-70, and Elizabeth Ramos Dunkum the new treasurer.

Pat MacDonald Allen sent a telegram to the Friday night reunion, and the Dulins put in a conference call about 8:00 P.M.

Sorry they were too far off to come! We missed them!

Nancy Kipps Hughey proudly revealed that Ray was awarded the Meritorious Civilian Service Award by the Navy in April 1969. This was in recognition of all his contributions to the work on Polaris and Poseidon Missiles, and is the highest civilian award that can be given.

Our sympathy goes out to Patsy Kelly Clark, who lost her mother in March.

It's been a good five years. I wish all the best to our new class officers: Sylvia Haddock Young, president; Ruth Adkins Hill, secretary; and Caroline Massey Shreve, fund raising chairman. Thanks beyond measure to our group leaders for all their help and encouragement.

Especially in this, our reunion year, demonstrate your class spirit by mailing a contribution today to W. C. Looking at our painfully low class percentage, it appears that we don't much care about the future of Westhampton. Send any amount-large or small. Show that old 59er spirit!

One last word: if our statistics are incorrect, or if we incorrectly have you listed as a secetary, for instance, perhaps you never returned the form we mailed in J 964 or the small form we enclosed with the '69 fundraising letter from W.C. Sometimes we have only the vaguest hearsay to go on!

Do keep us up to date during the next 5 years. See you in 1974!

Jane Norman has a new smile on her face, since she and Rusty Rawlings became engaged. Congratulations, Jane, wedding bells will ring May 17, 1969, for the cheerful twosome.

Word has it that Ellen Perry has been working as a waitress in a ski resort in the far North. With the change in weather she plans to travel abroad and will probably try teaching for awhile in Europe.

Lou Van Heuveln Wrenn writes that Wayne got his commission as a second lieutenant in Military Intelligence after completing officer candidate school last December. They have been ordered to Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Lou, send us your new address.

Miss Suzanne Ivey 2639 Waldo Lane Richmond, Virginia 23228

It appears that I signed off a bit prematurely last time. Somehow, I overlooked the fact that the news for the summer issue would be due in May before my time as secretary was quite ended. However, after this date, please send all your news to our new secretary, Pat Kursch. Other officers elected at last weekend's reunion were Suzanne Ivey, president; and Dolly Kirkpatrick, treasurer. These officers serve from reunion to reunion, which in this case will be for three years.

Although it would have been nice to have seen more of you last weekend, it was great seeing those of you who could come.

To the town students who brought food, to those who helped before and after the buffet, and especially to Martha Ann Wholey, who worked to coordinate it all, we send our sincere thanks for their efforts.

Thirty-five girls were in attendance at the Friday buffet and about twenty made it to the Barksdale on Saturday night.

From conversations during the weekend and from messages sent by many who couldn't come, I've gathered the following info to pass along: Ann Pomeroy has become engaged to James E. Baltzell, Ill, who is currently enrolled at the Rochester Center for Theological Study where he is planning a future in the ministry. Ann is scheduled to receive her Master's in 1970.
