In February I went to Arizona to leave our oldest son at the Thomas School at Tucson. I was joined by my sister Frances, and we spent three delightful Weeks on a ranch in Tombstone, Arizona. We spent most of every day riding through that beautiful, uninhabited country. There is no place like it. We com- pletely succumbed to its spell. Elizabeth W. H. Chatiield '12. Country-life near a big city can be, and usually is, very pleasant. Children, jobs and fox-hunting make the time fly-but this winter we had The Flood. My husband's paper warehouse was inundated, our electricity and water cut off for several days, and life was dreary, and work unsavory in a Red Cross Depot, doling out dirty old clothes to pathetic refugees. It was while on a holiday in Florida with my husband and three of the boys that I heard our class is to have its 25th Reunion at Milton in June. If all goes well, I'll be there. Elizabeth Fields '12, Last fall I served as Publicity Secretary for our Community Chest Campaign for the fourth year. Domesticity claims me for the rest of the year.

make education my chief interest. Am chairman of the Management Committee of the Brush Hill School and a Trustee of the Beaver Country Day School. Music is still my choice for an avocation. Margaret Forster '12, I have just had a most delightful winter, dividing my time between Milton, where I began teaching last fall, and the Lee School, Boston. Even the shuttling back and forth in Frances Lee's car has been very pleasant this open winter. Last sum- mer was absolutely perfect. My niece and I hiked and bussed through England and a bit of Scotland. It is much nicer than any other way to travel. Leonora Bemis Hamilton '13, Keeping house, a little painting and gardening, etc. The special event has been a three-months' visit in Santa Barbara, California, with my father and my five-year old Leslie. The trip did us all a great deal of good, and we saw many old friends. Betty Lane Crosby was there for a few days, and both Mary Fisher and Eleanor Fisher O'Brien came from San Francisco to visit us while wie were there. Nathalie B. Crocker '14. A delightful summer in oxen tempo in Chester, Nova Scotia, with my two children and my sister, followed by an harrassing winter starting a Birth Control Clinic in Fitchburg. Mary Fisher '15, Secretary to Curtis and Tompkins, chemists, for the past fifteen years. A flying trip, by the Pan American Airways, to Mexico City and Way points, this spring. A most interesting ex- perience. ' Marion Grabfield '15, Living very happily in Milton. Philip is in the sixth class of the Upper School. Alice Forbes Howland '15, Still on the same job which is likely to last for quite a while-i. e., rearing five young Howlands. It is a job requiring a good deal of time over and above an 8-hour day or a 40- hour week, but as yet I haven't joined the C. I. O. or tried a sit-down strike. Dusty enters the Upper School in September, John will be in the First Class of the Lower School, Hester and Judith are at the Preparatory School, and David is still at home. The Birth Control League and my garden furnish my extra-familia interests and activities, and each is absorbing in its own way. The greatest event of the year, our purchase of a farm near Brattleboro, Vermont last June. We have about a hundred acres of timber and cordwood, 1200 sugar maples, 200 apple trees and 70 head of dairy cattle. This Easter vacation we went up there and watched the maple syrup being made, which was most interesting but hard on the figure, From there we drove to Washington flike everyone else in Milton this yearj and spent five full and wonderfully interesting days. A trip with Weston on business to the Carolinas and Tennessee, which included the Norris Dam and the Smoky Mountain National Park in the height of the page forty the magus 11-1 i ..- 11
