Q0 Putnam Hall Alumnae Association Five years ago the Putnam Hall Alumnae Association was re- organized and Miss Katherine Sagar was elected president. Up to this time Miss Bartlett had each year entertained the Alumnae Association at the school for their annual luncheon. I fear that we did not realize the time and strength that our charming hostess consumed in arrang- ing this annual affair. It was therefore decided that the alumnae should assume this responsibility. The first luncheon, held at the Hotel McAlpin in New York, .proved very. successful. At the election of officers Miss Sagar was re- elected president. The following year the luncheon was held at Del- monico's,,and was even more largely attended. Miss Almira L. Troy was elected president. For many years it had been the hope of each senior class that its members might have, not merely a senior room in which to enjoy their privileges, but a larger place where they might entertain. The senior class of which Miss Nelle-Blossom Stogsdall was president, conferred with Mr. Barker. Through his advice, it was decided to build a Senior- Alumnae Bungalow, a building that would be an asset to the school, as well as a delightful place for the seniors and visiting alumnae to enjoy. The building was soon started and at the next annual luncheon, held at the Hotel Commodore, Mr. Barker gave an account of its cost. It was voted to give our note to the Poughkeepsie Trust Company for 37,500 to pay for the bungalow construction. Over a hundred dollars had been raised the previous spring by a rummage sale, and had been added to the money already collected. At the conclusion of the meeting, Miss Lois T. Travis was elected president. A committee was appointed to furnish the bungalow and on March 17, 1923, the Putnam Hall Senior-Alumnae Bungalow was formally opened. During the year several card parties and teas have been given there by the Alumnae, and a number of guests have been entertained over night. Through the Hope Chest, a little over S300 was realized, and about S100 from card parties, etc. Miss Paulina Stearns most generously gave S5500 toward the fund, thus reducing our debt to not quite S7,000. Our luncheon this year four largestj was held March ,1, 1924, at the Vassar Lodge, Poughkeepsie. Mrs. Leander Brown fEleanor Wil- liarnsj is our new president. Each year the Alumnae Association is growing in size and strength and we wish to welcome each new senior class most joyously and affectionately. Let us keep our ideal high and our loyalty to Putnam Hall ever fresh in our hearts. Lois T. TRAVIS, 1915.
