FRQM US, Tl-IE ALUMNAE Dear Baby Alumnae: So many things have happened since we last saw you together! Remember the luncheon in june where we all met? We thought it was such a success that we are already planning another this year where we can greet the Seniors of '38 as well as the older members. We hope this will become a time-honored custom for the future. On October 27 we had our first full meeting where plans for 1937-1938 were drawn up. Mrs. C. Stephen Stubbs was appointed President, with Miss Nancy Hargis as Vice-President, Miss Winifred Turner as Secretary and Miss Elizabeth Scarritt as Treasurer to help her. When the business of the day was completed, Mrs. Frank Ridge gave a stimulating talk on The Background of the New Deal in China. Her speech was such a success that many present begged for a promise of future discussions. Within the next few days the Advisory Board voted to ask Mrs. Ridge to give us a series of lectures and to make this series our money-making project for the year. Mrs. Ridge, who has cherished a love for Barstow since her days as Head of the Middle School, generously consented to donate her time and energy in a series of talks on What Is Happening in the World Today. After each talk, tea was served in the living-room. We feel that these talks were not only enlightening and enjoyable, but they also served to bring together former pupils, mothers of girls now students, and friends of the school. Thus we believe a dehnite step has been taken toward narrowing the gap between the past and present Barstow. Such cooperation is necessary to carry on the traditions and ideals that have meant so much to all its friends, old and new. THE ALUMNAE. Dear Alumnae: We, too, have much news to tell you. Though we haven't the splendid organization that you have. since we are scattered around the country, we all have maintained our interest in one another, in you, and in the present Barstow. Of last year's class, we have Ruth Dierks, Dorothy King and Cherry Propst Qnow a full-fledged nursej with us here in Kansas City, while jean Rubbra is nearby at Kansas University. Shirley Clark is in Detroit and even further east are Katharine Hall at Vassar, jane Daily at Wellesley, and Elizabeth Evans at Briarcliff. On the West Coast is Joan Tureman at Mills. We are particularly proud of some of the older babies. Among these is Betty Wally, '35, who has been elected President of her chapter of Pi Beta Phi at Northwestern, besides being on the staffs of two school publications. Patsy Mullegren, '36, made a fine start at Wellesley by being on the Freshman Honor Roll. jean Wight, '35, has spent her junior year abroad with the Smith College Group. At the same school, Nancy Leming has had an especially noteworthy record. Elected to Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi, honorary scientific society, she was also the Neilson Scholar for her Senior year, and was awarded a fellowship for graduate study in chemistry. Yes, we are widely scattered, but before very long we'll be home and ready to work enthusiastically for the Association and Barstow. Until then, goodbye and good luck! THE BABY ALUMNAE. I 7 1
