ALUMNI As the students of the Senior class at Plymouth Normal School become members of the alumni body, a sincere welcome is extended to them by those graduates who .have striven to organize and maintain an active alumni association. Your school will need you as alumni in the years to come, fully as much as it has needed you while you were active members of its student body. Come back to your class reunions. Organize your own groups, keep informed concerning the work which Plymouth Normal School is trying to do, and above all be loyal to your school at all times. The following letters were recently received from the three presidents of our active alumni organization. From Mrs. Ella Batchcldcr, President of the Plymouth Unit: Dear Seniors: The Plymouth Alumni Unit extends greetings to you! We have been organized eight years and through our small organization, we feel a closer relationship with Plymouth Normal School. We have about thirty active members, including alumni from Ashland, Campion, North Woodstock, and Plymouth. We entertain the graduating class and faculty each year and hold two other meetings, one being our guest night and the other an annual business meeting. Of the various entertainments we have given, I think our Gay Ninety Pops Concert was the most successful. We have had as our guest speakers, Professor Eric P. Kelly of Dartmouth College, author of the well known trilogy of Polish stories for children; Mrs. Ella Shannon Bowles, P.N.S. '05, notable author of New Hampshire; and Mrs. Elizabeth Elkins, P.N.S. ’06, now a member of the State Minimum Wage Board. Last year we were guests of the Concord Unit, where we heard an address by Dr. Fred Englehardt, President of New Hampshire University. During the first few years of our organization our funds were sufficient to enable us to present several gifts to the school. We contributed fifty dollars to the camp at Loon Lake, and in the living room of Samuel Read Hall dormitory are a mirror and an urn, both of which were gifts from the Plymouth Unit. Meeting with our fellow alumni always brings us great enjoyment and makes our memories of P.N.S. most precious. Cordially yours, Ella Fleming Batchelder, Class of T8 From Mrs. Charlene Pettengill Lyford, President of the Concord Unit: Dear Plymouth Seniors: As president of the Concord Unit of the P.N.S. Alumni, I am very happy to send you a short note concerning our activities. Although we have been organized less than three years I feel that we have definitely established ourselves among the organizations of the community. We have about 55 members, 60% of whom are very active. We have four meetings a year from October till June. The first one is a business meeting with a speaker and tea; the second a social meeting; the third our annual guest night; and the fourth is a picnic. One year we had our picnic at the P.N.S. camp at Loon Lake. Our main purpose is to establish a scholarship fund from which any needy girl in this community may borrow. We have earned our money in various ways and have already made a fine start toward a substantial fund. 29
