Ravenhill. The abovementioned affairs and others that brought back the Alumnae have been written up in more detail in our News Letter Ca new Aliunf nae endeavorj, edited by Mary McGinnis. We hope to publish the News in the Spring and Fall and thus divide the Alumnae news with the School Magazine. One of our Red Letter days was April 8th when Mother Margaret Francis CPatsy Stew- artj received her habit. Monsignor Furey came again this year for the Blessing of the Babies-he was such a success last year. The Children's Fete was held in conjunction with it on May 5th. Most of the girls turn out for these specinc things, but it is sweet to see how many just pop in at odd moments-like one weekfday morning when a cab drove up and out stepped Ginnie Langdon with her little- nephew, Marc Sitley. She had a free day, Dottie was up from Ventnor and G. kidnapped the little boy to show him to the Nuns. Others show their interest by just paying their dues, sending messages through mem' bers of their families or writing. This long list includes Jeannette CSchelD Cleaves, who, with her husband and son, is still in Brookline, Mass., Marie CButlerJ Bangs, who has at least four chilf dren and lives in Milwaukee still, Marianne QMC' LellandJ de Verteuil, whom we enjoyed vicar' iously in the person of her delightful Mother, enroute from Trinidad to England last Summer via Ravenhill. Speaking of Trinidad, did you hear that that Claire Farfan asked Mother Laura to tran' scribe Assumpta Est so that she could have it played at her wedding? Jeanie Birkmire helped out with her good typing at a busy time last Sum' mer. Nydia Lopez is one of our strongest rooters in Mexico. Remember how she played the piano. Joan Sommer was always willing to help in emerf gency between modeling appointments and always looking like something out of Vogue Now, she is working in a photographic studio. Ginger Foster pops in whenever she's home from college. Sally CVannemanJ Bradbury came often with Sandy, who was preparing for his First Commun' ion. Elizabeth Russell CAssumpta College, Londonj had to return to England, where she is teaching in Essex. Her letters evidence quite a longing to see her American friends. In her place we have Kitty Wood, Cousin of Mother Roberta's and an Alumna of San Sebastian and Val. Kitty has written and illustrated a book for children, Brownie Bears' Picnic, to be published in the early Summer. Peter CMarstonJ Haddock a Kensington Alumna is coaching the girls in Jeanne D'Arc and teach- ing the Little Boys here.
