Not necessarily the responsibilities to themselves, their families, or even their community, but the support they owe to our country. It is not possible for each person to play a prominent part in the sup- port of his country but we feel that all people could do a great deal by giving, if nothing else, verbal proof of their loyalty to the United States. The United States is in a precarious position with its foreign and do- mestic problems and too many people are too quick to tear down the U. S. with over-critical and derogatory remarks. At times when the United States is enjoying a secure, unchallenged position in the world, there is seldom a person who will say anything but good about our country. XVhen, however, a storm starts brewing, the clouds of doubt and hesitation which creep to the horizon of many minds become verbal abuses against the United States, the President and his policy. It is in times such as now, when faced with the Berlin crisis and the nuclear arms race with Russia, that the U. S. needs the heartfelt support and, if nothing else, the faith of its people. VVould people only stop to think, while criticizing, that they are re- sponsible for t11e men in office today, that at one time they must have had faith in the ability and wisdom of the men whom they placed at the head of the government, perhaps they would find loyalty enough to show their faith and trust by supporting instead of deprecating. A person facing and accepting the responsibilities which he has to his country will become a defender and supporter, playing an important role in maintaining or furthering the status of the United States of America in the world of today and the future.

KAREN THIELE, '60 W ff, 4.2 S i we F 'P N , x r 1 .fl TINA The wind blew the snow around her ankles as she hurried on through the night. It had been a long, hard day and her legs ached with every step she took. She thought hack to the little faces looking up at her, their eyes big and afraid. Wliyf did those so young have to know the hard and some- times merciless world so soon. Joan had been working at the Children's Mental Hospital for six months and every night she went home with that same thought. She wanted to help them yet sometimes there seemed that there was nothing she could do. Tonight her feeling of depression was much worse and she knew the reason. Her thoughts wandered back to the hospital. Miss Nelsonf' she heard her name being called over the address system, please report to Doctor Phillips immediatelyf' Joan hurried down the spacious white corridor and through the re- volving doors into the office building. That was how her day began. Joan didn't think anything of her call that morning because whenever a new case came in Doctor Phillips usually called Joan to take the child to his or her room. Yes, Doctor Phillips, Joan said as she walked into his office. The doctor was working and he looked up when Joan spoke. Doctor Phillips said nothing but only motioned with his head to one corner of the room. Joan turned around and looked. She was not surpris- ed to see a dark-haired little girl of about four with her head hung down, sitting quietly in the corner. It was peculiar that Doctor Phillips had not said anything about the child but she walked over to the corner, knelt down in front of the little stranger and spoke gently to her. The little girl raised her head. Her big, brown eyes, staring blankly into space, did not have the look of fear as did those of most of the insane children, although her little hands shook with fright. Joan turned and looked questioningly at the doctor. He looked down and still staring at his pencil, said softly, She,s blind. Joan felt a strange pang in her stomach as she remembered his words. She wrapped her coat more tightly about her as she stood on the corner to wait for the light. The light changed and she hurried across thinking now of how warm her little apartment would feel. She finally reached home and before she even took oil' her coat she sank into her favorite chair and let the warmth and quietness sink into her. Reluctantly she let her thoughts turn to the little girl she had left lying in the big white hospital bed staring at the ceiling. Her little hand had stopped shaking when Joan had taken it to lead her to her room. Joan was talking quietly but gayly to the little girl as they walked down the corridor. The child only stared straight ahead apparently not caring where she was going or who was taking her. Here we are, said Joan as she led Tina into the big, clean room. Joan leaned down, picked her up and placed her on the bed, pausing a few moments to look into the non-seeing eyes of the child. Tina did not put up any objection when Joan said that she was going to give her something nice which would let her go to sleep to dream of wonderful things. All day long as she had worked with tl1e other children Joan could not help thinking of the little girl and everytime she got the chance she would go to look in on the sleeping child. Joan reached over and shut off her alarm clock. She lay there in bed a few minutes thinking of the day ahead of her. Oh yes, Tinaf, she thought as she swung her legs over the bed and proceeded to get dressed. Joan checked in at the hospital around 8:30 and immediately went to see Tina. She unlocked Tinals door and went in seeing first by looking through the glass window in the door that Tina was still sleeping. Joan leaned over and put her hand on the child's forehead. Tinass long, dark eyelashes tluttered open and although her eyes held no sign of feeling the little body tightened up and she clutched the side of the bed. Joan spoke and under the gentle touch of her hands she felt Tina's body relax. This was the first of many mornings .Ioan went in to wake Tina. Her love for the little girl grew until finally she could hardly bare to look into Tina's expressionless eyes. Joan's love and pity were so deep that one day she asked Doctor Phillips if she could talk to him. I know how you feel Joanf' Doctor Phillips said, 'fbut I don't know what I can say to you. But she hasnit even smiled, Doctorg not once has she said a word, .Ioan replied, her eyes filling with tears. NI think it would be best if you had a vacation, Joan, suggested Doc- tor Phillips, it would take your mind off Tina and maybe she will have improved when you come back? ' Taking Doctor Phillips' advice .Ioan went on a vacation. Hardly a day passed as she was lying on the sun-drenched beach that she didn't think of Tina. Finally her vacation was over and she was back in her apartment thinking about whether or not she could stand walking into the room and waiting in vain for some sign of recognition from the little girl she had grown to love so much. Before she went to Tina's room Joan went to see Doctor Phillips. 'Tm sorry, Joan, but we haven't made any progress and being honest with you, Tina is much worse. She won't eat and will not sleep without sedativesf' .Ioan hesitated, her hand shook as she placed it on the door knob. She opened the door softly. Tina was awake and staring at the ceiling. As Joan walked across the room sl1e thought the child was listening but sl1e couldn't be sure. Hello, Tinaj' she said hesitantly. Slowly the child's face broke into a smile. I thought you had left mej, she said. Joan sank down beside Tina and gathered the child in her arms. Tears of happiness streamed down her cheeks as the little arms tightened around her neck.

Q X xx THE AVENUE Time marches on and takes with it monuments of eras once loved and cherished. How often do we fi11d ourselves referring to the good old days and the memory of a shaded la11e, a familiar face, or a first love. Some such memories survive the trials of the troubled years but most, sooner or later, succumb to 111ake room for the new. There is one place I can recall that was a city's showcase, East Ave- nue in Rochester, New York. It was on this elm-canopied street that George Eastman and many other old families of the city had huilt lovely ivy-covered homes interwoven with St. Paulis and other stately churches, the headstones of a peace that had prevailed on the avenue. East Avenue represented what the thriving metropolis of Rochester, although busy alld progressive, wanted to show it still possessedaeeheauty and dignity. But a drive down that avenue today reveals lots standing empty in mockery of the homes that once stood there. Neglect? No. Progress? VVho can say, hut there will be other East Avenues to take its place. JEAN LINDSAY, '60 FACET OF LIFE In life exists no true serenity. But in a dew-clothed field, you say. Where cool breeze and uninvited bird disturb In life exists no true serenity. Serenity is death. DIANE DUBRULE, '60 SMOKE Smoke billows from a lonely stack- Rushes out with great vigor- Deviates, wavers in the winds, Mollifying winds-yet harsh. Vitality broken, billows disperse. Smoke looms over the city still. But with the advent of darkness, Away it creeps-away, away, away- DIANE DUBRULE, '60 BIOLOGY Being a veteran of Latin, ancient history and geometry, I feel well qualified to discuss the subject of biology, the horror of every Junior or Senior who comes within its grasp. The only thing worse than biology is chemistry, biology's friend and cohort, which, I am sure, everyone who has come in contact with would like to turn the tables on and make Mr. Testubes and Chemicals explode into thin air. The most discouraging part of the whole deal is tl1e book. There, leering at you from his position on the cover, is a giant turtle with a tad- pole locked in his jaws. And the more you look at Mr. T., the more you realize that you are the one that is feeling the wrath of his bicuspids. If you make tl1e fatal mistake of opening the book, you are sunk, for you will be haunted by everything from Anthropoids to Zygaspores. You think you are in for an easy time when, in the first two or three chapters, you see the little bunnies and chipmunks. But soon you see the skunk and then the s11ake, and finally into the microscopic world of amebas and parameciums. Before a month is up you find out bacteria and algae are used in ice cream and that when you eat a piece of toast, you are really eating fibro- vascular bundles by the thousands, which is enough to make anyone de- mand a chemical analysis of everything he dissolves with his saliva en- zymes. At this stage of the ga111e your whole vocabulary centers around the life functions of a green cell and the microscopic animal chart, which at times provides the perfect word for an euglena of an assignment or a nyctotherus of a sister. Witli every page you turn you realize that you are falling into an abyss as endless as time since every day new animals are being discovered from the depths of your fingernail or your dog's fur. Furthermore, there comes a time when you have biology so much on the brain that when you are in- vited to a dance, you spend the entire evening admiring the beautiful stigma and adorable figure of tl1e stamen in the flowers you are wearing. Once you start working on the higher animals, you wish you were an ameba to escape the pulling out of the three foot intestine of the frog or the eyeball of a fish. As for the two-hundred six bones of the body, by the time you have learned them, you disbclieve there are only that many and start counting which can cause a panic when you find only two- hundred four, but fortunately at the last minute you remember the two floating ribs and all are there for the time being. All in all you have wonderful memories from lab periods and I am positive no biology student can ever forget trying to draw the monocot and finally, in desperation, giving up and drawing a c1own's face or in the case of the verticil using a jack-in-the-box for a model. NANCY FISKE, '59 I +,--, C: X TX 'x ,mf l 1 f w f I PONDERING THOUGHTS As through the falling snow I roam My thoughts so often think of home, A home with you so sweet and warm, A home to which our friends will swarm To share our love and friendship true, Above which shines the sky so blue. May all our life be like the dove That stands for peace, for hope and love, As each new day we rise to say This is my life, may it never stray From that one cause for which we stand To walk together hand in hand, But yet once more before we trod Let us stop and wait for God. For now the picture is complete VVe have found ourselves, my sweet, And happiness and love is true. 1IAnd you shall know that I love you.J CAROLYN PITT, ,61 MISUNDERSTOOD The old man opened his eyes slowly and looked out at the sea. They were old eyes and his hand shook as he lifted his pipe to his lips. He lived alone but he had many friends: the waves that splashed and broke against the rocks, the sea gulls that flew in easy circles on bright sum- mer days and the fresh breeze that carried the sal- 'N-'-N 7 ty scent of the ocean to his X X door step. These were his A friends. Friends that never X t i l failed him. Friends thathe l could always depend on. X ., I Jil He had lived in this shack by the ocean he lov- ed so much for many years. The people in the town who did not understand thought he was crazy and they could not wait until the old man died so that their children could play on the rocks and swim in the ocean that surrounded his home. They were afraid of him. They forbade their children to play near his home and even they themselves did not dare to venture over the rocks and along the stony path that led to the old man's house. The old man did not mind his seclusion and was not even aware of the impression that he had given to the town's people. He was happy and secure listening to his beloved friends talking to him in their own special way. This day was as all the rest or so he thought but as his eyes opened slowly to look upon his sea he saw a little girl running gleefully upon his beach. Her blonde curls shone in the sun and danced gayly around her face. The startled old man was angry at first but soon he smiled as he watch- ed the youngster. She loves it too, he thought as his eyes followed her. Day after day the little girl came and he was content to sit and watch her play with all his friends. He even found himself waiting for her. She seemed to fit in so well and soon he thought of her as part of l1is happy world. But one bright day while watching her his eyes caught another fig- ure. It Was a Woman scurrying toward the child. He watched her as she picked up the little girl and hurried down the path that led into the village. He felt sad and as the days went by he found himself waiting for the child to return but she did not come. His old friends did not seem the same any more and he could no longer understand the language of the pounding surf and the sighing breeze. For the first time his world seemed empty and lonely. His old friends could not comfort him anymore and he had lost all he loved. Many weeks later the little child came back in the same way-skip- ping lightly over the rocks, but for the old man she did not bring back the happiness she had given him before, for he was dead.

GAIL AMAYBERRY, '62 i MY PURPLE LADY There is a person in my life whom I would like you all to meet. She and the many of her status are those common- ki ly and touchingly referred to 9 K K as Grams,', Grandmamma,,' N' or less often, as Granny.', I ' know her in my own 'fashion Rf as Mums.,' I suppose I can't J ' - fittingly go about describing ' H. my dear grandmother with- ' out reminding everyone of f x theirs. But to me there are Q22 Xe certain traits that set this dear QW Q, X lady apart. A th f Mums', always claims any ' lf that she gave me my first 35 ' 'S' bath, fThat showed me from V the start that someone cared.J .x and ever since then she has always been there. Even now when I go to sleep feeling hungry for some good home cooked food I wake up the next morning and there sits an oversized box of food from the Women's Educational, just waiting for this obese character to ruin her diet,, on. - A .31 in-1. - It is hard to give one of those beautiful character descriptions that gracefully put the subject upon a pedestal to be admired by all. No, that is impossible for me to try to do. My grandmother is just a good old down to earth grandmother. So if I sound a bit unpoetic-please excuse my drifting from the usual. Those who know her, and believe me there are many, laugh when reminded of her. One minute shelll be whisking oil' to Boston to get a permanent, which will undoubtedly come out in the damp the next morn- ing when she gets up at her usual six o'clock to feed the birds or do a little work in the garden. The next minute sheill be starting her Christ- mas shopping before she's even put last Christmas's tree out to burn. She is the only woman I know who looks well in purple. Perhaps that is only because she never wears anything that isn't purple. Purple suits, purple coats, purple slips, purple glass case, I could go on without end. Come, we will wait together, Then there are her letters that arrive every Monday. Oh, yes, Mums, I do adore them. They cheer me up no end. I may not be able to read them but the things I sometimes interpret them as saying almost always end up sending me in gales of laughter. Truthfully though, I think I am the only one who can detect the meanings behind those signs. I could go on for ages trying to give you a humorous view of this grandmother of mine. I certainly havenit meant to give you a picture of a 'tsweet little ladyi' with a bunch of violets in her hand, for that she is not. Mums I do believe will die at the age of 112, after having put all her tulip bulbs in the front garden and rearranged her living room to become her spring feeling. Then she,ll drift off to Heaven on her own purple cloud, dreaming of a way to paint Saint Peter's gate purple to match the morning glories she also plans to plant.

NANCY NEVIUS, '61 I I Xfff N MUSIC OF THE SPHERES The woods warmed by no sunset light, The glistening wonder of the placid night, Soft wind blowing and starry flake falling: Lovely, lonely solitude and peacefulness. The frozen stream winding and bubbling through the woods, The moon shedding beauty bright. Just sky and snow, a world unknown, The melody and sweet refrain it calls its own. The flakes drifting slowly down, Glistening so brightly and near blinding, Capturing and recapturing winter's creation, With a beauty all its own.

If it is a little girl who is making her first splash into the younger social set she is excited and happy. Long before the time to leave Suzie is decked out in her new dress-complete with stiff crino- lines, patent leather shoes and tiny white gloves. Her nose is shiny and her hair is fluifed out under a velvet ribbon. As she skips down the walk to the car, her daddy looks silently on--his little girl is growing up. Mother is obviously bursting with pride a11d has probably talked Suzie's grandmother into coming along to watch her favorite grandchild's debut. Suzie's mother really cannot suppress the look of pity which crosses her face as she watches her friends positively dragging their sons into the dance hall. And even the boys' mothers themselves are indulging in a little self-pity. They have spent the last hour and a half chasing Johnny all through the house, replacing clean shirts suddenly decorated with chocolate icing, and trying the impossible-to force him to submit to at- tempts at securing a tie around his neck. Soon the harried parents give up and snatch him off as is. You may think Johnny's mother has finally succeeded in getting him to the first lesson looking reasonably clean and angelic, however, somehow between the front door and the car Johnny has acquired a collection of rocks, marbles, string a11d yoyos. Promptly at seven-thirty the dancing teacher walks out onto the floor, smiles courageously, and signals for quiet. It is sometime before the children have ceased their pushing, giggling, and fighting. The first half of the lesson is taken up by a period of general instruction-punctu- ated by sharp reprimands for unruly pupils from the teacher and the in- cessant clicking of her castanets. The person who glances at the bal- cony or sidelines is much amused to see the faces of eager mothers- glowing and proud-positive that their offspring are destined to be the Fred Astaires and Vera Ellens of the future. After an hour of trying to drill the rhythmic quick, quick, slow into the persistently stubborn dance fans, the teacher will give up and do- nate the remaining half hour to free dancing. She usually retires to a corner of the ballroom and calls out in a trembling voice- Gentlemen, choose partners. She has good reason to tremble. Little boys of all sizes and shapes positively tear across the floor and come sliding, and crashing to a stop-all in front of the two or three most popular girls. A good brawl usually ensues and it is ten minutes before the first dance begins. The scene never varies from one week to the next and because of a des- perate lack of males there are always two or three couples of girls-gal- lantly pushing,' each other about. Their mothers try to look brave and not too embarrassed as they whisper to the woman next to them and say, 'ilane is so tall the boys won't dance with her-now, but she'll be popular someday, Oh, yes, her day will come. NVell, this last half hour continues with never varying conformity. Once in a while a special dance is added as a treat and this only adds to the confusion. At nine oiclock the teacher looks relieved and says weakly, I'll see you all again next weekj, and collapses not too gently into the nearest chair. By the time the mothers have coaxed their sons from a fascinating game of darts in the boys, room, or have found Suzie's coat, which is identical to at least four or Eve others, they are beginning to question the wisdom of that statement which a week ago they had uttered with such determination. Johnny has lost his tie, ripped his pants, and brought disgrace to the entire family by flatly refusing to dance with a chubby little girl who has spent the entire evening suffering the agonies of a wall- flower. Suzie has slipped and cut her knee, lost one glove, her shoes have passed the point of recognition, and her once fluffy curls now hang limp from under a drooping ribbon. Now, you may contradict me if you like, but from my experience I tend to think that by the next week the feelings of the entire family are reversed. The parents have decided to give up the fight, but of course the children have decided it was great fun and can scarcely wait until next week. So, I say to all parents of future dancing class pupils-this essay is far from exaggeration and if you can profit in any way from this piece of literature, I hope it will save you any ideas you may have in advance as to the merits of dancing lessons.

A shrill call assailed George Burton's ears as he slumped in his chair after a strenuous Saturday afternoon of trying to curtail some of tl1e more mischievous schemes of four-year-old Dicko. Immersed in his paper, he paid slight attention to the imperious summons. He was too tired and, besides, all that Dicko usually wanted was an audience to whom he could tell his latest tale of tigers walking on the ceiling.- well, if you'd come more quicker, he,d 'a' still been here. -or spacemen following him- . . . an' he pulled my jacket 'til he tored it an, he tied me to a big tree so's I'd be late an' he took my boot tan' throwed it way up so's it di'n't come down an' he . . . snaddy V' George could hear the door slam. 6'How many times have I told you to shut that door, not just let go of it when you go through '? Daddy! Why di'n't you answer ? I called an' I called and I called. 'Tm busy. Besides, what's so important that you can't come and tell me? Haven't I told you a million times not to yell-don,t you ever re- member a thing I say '? George did not have to move from the newspaper for this speech: by now it was almost a reflect action to quote these lines whenever anyone slammed a door. One of his prospective clients was more than surprised when he was greeted thus. Looking to one side of the expanse of newsprint, George tixed his gaze on the small figure before him. Dicko looks differentf, he thought, al- most as though heis scared. I really don,t know if he should be allowed to play with that dogg maybe I should have had Joe shut him in the ken- nel .... Daddy, you haven't been listening to anything I was saying. There's a big furry thing outside with teeth an' he growls an' he looks like a lion . . . 'i With that, George with a roar like a lion's leaped from his chair and, scattering newspaper pages along the way, headed toward the stairs drag- ging his protesting so11 behind him. Millie! Will you please tell your son to come to you? I swear, if he bothers me just once more .... By then, Dicko was halfway up the stairs. Besides recognizing one of his father's unpredictable moods, he knew that his mother was generally more sympathetic. George picked up the pages and put the paper back into its correct numerical order. As he settled back comfortably, he heard Dicko telling his mother about his 'tthingf' Then he heard them go outside. Millie's probably going to try to prove to Dicko that he's been imagining things, he thought. After a while George looked at his watch. It was later than he had thought-in fact it was past their dinner time. Nor did he smell anything cooking or hear any of the usual dinner-time clatter. Come to think of it, he hadn't heard anything for a long time. Millie? Millie! Millie! No answer, not even an echo. Neither did Dicko answer. He couldn't find either of them in the house. Checking in the garage, he discovered that the jeep was still there. That's funny, he thought. They,ve never gone away alone, not even Dicko. Both of them knew by now that it's not safe. Let me see. Last I remember, They were going outside .... SARAH ROBIN SON, '59 A WINTER SHORE The frigid waves lick greedily at the shore But they taste nothing but frozen sand. A few lonely seagulls circle overhead Waiting for their summer friends. The strips of grass Wave forlornly How were they chosen to last so long? Stark, naked the proud beach endures its humility, For soon it will know supreme joy. The Waves will roll around sand castles. The gulls will dive for picnickers' bread. Green, salt-dipped grass will billow ecstatically. But until then they must wait. THEODORA FISHER, '60 QUAKER MESSAGE When I was much younger, XVl1GI1 more days I had free, In times of idle waiting Pd play a game with thee. And when you did your lessons By the oil lamp I'd stay, Just to marvel at your knowledge As it grew from day to day. And I saw thee growing older And the child I once knew Was soon engrossed in plowing In a field with heather dew. 'sfn K I 3 aj' no 3' n, ,, I ' ,no ukaiiixfg . ig QQ I 'x..t Q' 32' l-Qfpf' 'sf .

General Joan Goodale and Debby Giffin, who are members of the Freshman Class at Wheaton College, were recent visitors at school. They arrived in time, they thought, for the annual basketball game, only to find that it had been postponed until after spring vacation as we were having a small epidemic of some sort of flu and too many players were incapacitated. We hope that they will come again when the game is really played. Joan has been selected as a member of the college choir which sings every Sunday morning in the chapel. In March the choir joined with the Haverford Col- lege glee club in presenting a concert. Another recent graduate, Avis Churchill, who is a sophomore at El- mira College, now has a new home address. The Churchills have moved from Chelmsford, Massachusetts, to 47 Phillips Lane, Darien, Connecticut. A recent note from Sally Ringling tells us what she has been doing since she graduated from Smith College last June. She spent the summer at home in Baraboo, Wisconsin, working in a little summer theatre near- by. In September Sally flew to Germany to pick up a car - a small con- vertible which she says is the love of her life - and drove to Italy. She has been living in Rome ever since, where her address is 48 Via Margutta. It all sounds like fun! This spring The National Association of Principals of Schools for Girls held its annual meeting in Boston. Mrs. MacGay and other Principals who have alumnae attending The Garland School and Katharine Gibbs were very pleasantlyentertained at both schools. At Garland, Maria Bright was her hostess for dinner one night. She was also greeted by other ,Rogers Hall alumnae who are students in the school - Wendy Carpenter, Lucy Meyer, Nancy O'Connell, and Jenifer Gang - so it was quite a reunion. Nancy Wolf was her hostess on another day at a very nice tea at Katharine Gibbs. Mrs. MacGay enjoyed very much seeing her old girlsn in the schools where they now are. We were very sorry to learn that Helen Munro was confined to the hospital last January. The Walter Bregmans tRoberta Fieldingj have a new address as Well as the new baby whose birth is announced in this issue. As they found a third-floor apartment a little difficult with two children, they have bought a lovely house at 3382 Dato Avenue in Highland Park, Illinois. Roberta writes that they are being kept very busy and also very happy by both the house and their second son. Kay Wallace also has a new address. It is Academy Park, R. F. D. -412, Rowley, Massachusetts. We were very glad to see Kay when she dropped in at school one day last fall. Mrs. MacGay recently received a nice letter from Libby Filer Ander- son giving her the latest news of the Filer family. Libby and Tim have bought a house in Belmont, Massachusetts, at 26 Townsend Road, and Lib- by has given up her job. She says that she is enjoying every minute of being an every-day housewife. Tim is spending a good deal of time at An- dover again as The Architects Collaborative begins plans for the new Academy dormitories and other school buildings. Mary Jane Filer Platt and her husband Skip .still live in Erie with their two children in a house next door to Mr. and Mrs. Filer. Margarita spent the fall at The F oxhol- low School in Lennox, Massachusetts, where she was doing substitute teaching. On March first, however, she embarked on a new and most in- teresting position. She has a two-year contract to teach conversational English in an elementary school in Lima, Peru. It sounds like a wonderful opportunity to us! Unfortunately, Margarita will not be able to see Patsy Rosenshine in Lima, as we hear that in February she went to Paris to study at the Sor- bonne. Patsy was a sophomore at Hollins College this year. Barbara Scobie is still working as a medical secretary at The Yale Medical School, but her father wrote that she, too, hopes to go to France next summer and live with a French family in order to study the language. Her father, however, feels that to accomplish her purpose she should plan to stay in France for a year or two, so perhaps she will take his advice and extend her trip. Barbara,s New Haven address is 103 Davenport Avenue. Diana Purdy has a new address. She now lives at 4 Nashua Avenue in Annisquam, Massachusetts. At Christmas we were glad to get news of the Duane family from Nina now Mrs. Richard Elder. Nina and her Rick live at 24 Shore Avenue in Groton Long Point, Connecticut. She sounds ecstatically happy! She also gave us news of Pollyts marriage, which is announced in this issue, to an old family friend. Also that Kitty Duane Stryker and her husband, Bart, are living just outside of Annapolis, Maryland. Nina says that Kitty has two beautifully brought up children. More power to her! A letter from Florence Towner Buckley tells us that last fall she was chairman of the Give A Buck to the party of your choice campaign during election time in her town, Cambridge, New York. On President Eisenhower's birthday, Florence sent him a congratulatory telegram in which she also reported the result of the campaign. She received in answer a very cordial letter signed by the President. Florence is also very busy with other civic aff airs as she is chairman of the committee to iight cancer in the town of Cambridge and active in Community Chest, hospital, and church work. We were very sorry to learn that her twenty-nine year old son, Bill, who had visited school with her fairly recently, died very sud- denly a year ago last February. Recent alumnae will be interested to learn that a former history teacher, Miss Barbara Davies, now Mrs. Robin D. S. Higham, and her hus- band are now at Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Their address is 424 Hickory Drive. We learned from a Christmas note that Dorothy Winship Lewis and her husband, Bob, are civilians once again! Dorothy says that they are enjoying every minute of it. Bob has returned to work with du Pont and they are living in an apartment on his parents, place until they have time to build their own home. With their two children the Lewises drove across the country from California where they had been stationed while Bob was in the service, stopping at Sequoia, Crater Lake, Glacier, and Yellowstone National Parks. Dorothy was terribly enthusiastic about the trip. The children were thrilled by the animals they saw in the parks and would love to take the trip over again! Dorothy's present address is R. D. 43, Newark, Delaware. Betsie Wagner was elected President of the Freshman Class at Bennett College, This otlice puts her on two student councils and various other committees as well as making her the student advisor for the class. Con- gratulations, Betsie! It sounds like a big job and we're very proud of you! Mrs. Robert Woods, the former Miss Barbara Galbraith, who taught physical education at Rogers Hall a few years ago, writes us that her hus- band and she have moved into a new home twenty miles north of Hart- ford, Connecticut, in the country. The Woods' address is Lathrop Drive, Coventry, Connecticut. Another new address comes from Ann Fletcher Penhaligen. The Pen- haligens now live at 3301 Boston Street, Medland, Michigan. This year Turner Baker transferred from Hollins College to the Uni- versity of Minnesota, where she is still majoring in art. Turner writes, however, that she will probably leave college to be married before the year is over. The lucky man is a young doctor from Salt Lake City, Utah, whose name Turner did not divulge! Marcia Thomas VValker and her husband, Arthur, have moved from Attleboro, Massachusetts, to 26 Melrose Avenue in Barrington, Rhode Is- land. A Christmas card from Susan Gaunt tells us that she is in training at The Salem Hospital, Salem, Massachusetts. Susan says that, not only does she love it, but her marks have never been so good. 0ur best wishes to you, Susan, in such a worth-while career! Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo Fox fDorothy Wadleighj are having an interest- ing experience living in Austria. Their address is Park Hotel, Schonbrun, Vienna 13. Lyn Abbott, although sorry in many ways to have left Wheaton Col- lege, is loving every minute of her time at The Philadelphia Conservatory where she is working for the degree of Batchelor of Music. Her trip to Europe last summer was fabulous and an education in itself, she says. Susie Fisher Bennett and her husband, John, are living at 1668 Chapel Street in New Haven, Connecticut. Anne Wild has remarried and is now Mrs. Curtiss C. Johnson of North- iield Road, Watertown, Connecticut. Anne writes that they have a lovely country home with lots of land for her three children to enjoy. She lives not too far from Janice Smith Post, Sandy Eager Methven, and Cynthia Mooberry Bartholomew, so they get together every now and then for a small Rogers Hall reunion. How we wish that they'd all come to Founderis Day, which will be on Saturday, May 2nd, this year! Missy Steen Rex is living in Scotch Plains, New Jersey, at 1200 South Martine Avenue. Last year's graduates will be interested to learn of the birth of a son, Rodolph Lee, 3rd, to Mr. and Mrs. Rodolph Lee Nunn on November 11, 1958. Mrs. Nunn taught some of our French classes at school last year. A letter to Mrs. MacGay from Sally Thomas gives us the belated news that she has been Mrs. David Jansen for the last four years! The Jansens live at 22955 St. Joan, St. Claire Shores, Michigan. Sally writes that they plan to come East in the near future. We all at Rogers Hall would be so very happy to welcome them! Marjorie Marshall Field has written a bird record with accompani- ment and words to be used in teaching children in the schools how to recognize various birds - a most unusual accomplishment, we think. Ellen O,Meara Rhodin is teaching at St. Timothy's School. Her eight year old daughter lives in the school with her. During the mid-winter work period at Bennington College, Julie Eiseman had an exciting experience as assistant to a producer-director at Channel 2 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Next year Julie hopes to gain experience in directing dramatics by assisting the dramatics teacher in some school. Carolyn Bowes was elected President of the Athletic Association at Marjorie Webster Junior College this year. The engagement of Miss Diana Barnes, who taught English at Rogers Hall for the past three years and who is now a graduate student at Sim- mons College School of Social Work, has been announced to Mr. Bernard Edward Blood of Billings, Montana. Mr. Blood was graduated in 1953 from Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he is now a research engineer. A spring wedding is planned. Katharine Talbot Christison's address has been changed to Mrs. Wil- liam Christison, United States Embassy, Box 4105, A. P. O. -4580, cfo Post- master, New York. Another new address is that of Martha Howell Crin- nion. It is now 14 Lacy Lane, Albany 11, New York. Penny Allen, having graduated from Briarcliff Junior College last June, entered Northwestern University in the fall. We were happy to have Judy Kochs visit us last winter. Judy had been working for Encyclopedia Britannica as a commercial artist, but was between jobs at the time she came to school, so we don't know what she is doing now. From Jane Jefferson we have learned that she is hoping to enter The School of Education of The University of Pennsylvania in order to get her degree. Jane was a member of last year's graduating class at Bennett Col- lege. This year she has been working in the nursery department of a pri- vate school in Wayne, Pennsylvania. Another alumna who is planning further study is Linda Wiese. Linda, who is now at Marjorie Webster Junior College, wishes to enter Knox College next fall. Last summer she attended Wisconsin Summer School. This year Linda is editor of the Marjorie Webster year book. We have just received word that Betsy Lamb Stranahan is another alumna who has recently moved. The Stranahans still live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but their street address is now 5809 Marlborough Avenue. Cecelia Smith Bartnick and her husband, Richard, are living at 430 Evermann, Bloomington, Indiana. On January 28th of this year, Marjorie Robinson was technically graduated from Boston University, although she will not actually receive her diploma until June. Marjorie now has a most interesting position in the Lynn, Massachusetts, public schools where she is teaching lip-reading and auditory training to the hard of hearing. She works with pupils need- ing this help in all grades from the first through the twelfth, visiting each school twice a week. Marjorie shares an apartment in Boston with two other girls and drives to Lynn each school day in her own little foreign car which is her pride and joy. Besides allthis activity, she is working for her M. A. in special education at Boston University, so she is an extremely busy girl. The Class of 1958 is represented at the following schools and colleges: Serena Blyth at The University of Connecticut, Wendy Carpenter, Gretchen Fowler, and Nancy O'Connell at Garland School, Susannah Carroll at Marymount College, Patricia Chalmers, Diana Purdy, and Carolyn Rey- nolds at Endicott Junior College, Ellen Cook at Colby Junior College, Vic- toria Estes at Lawrence College, Deborah Giflin and Joan Goodale at Wheaton College, Patricia Haass and Barbara Van Horne at Stephens College, Deborah Hanson and Bonney Herrmann at Centenary Junior Col- lege g Sarah Herrmann at Hood College, Estelle Heifetz at Boston Univers- ity, Katherine King at The University of New Hampshire, Charlotte Marsh at Westminster Choir College, Cynthia Migliore at The University of Ver- mont, Josephine Ellen Pitt at Colorado 'Woman's College, Lynne Robinson at Simmons Collegeg Diane Shearer at Bouve-Boston School, Betsie Wag- ner at Bennett College, Cecelia Wittmann at Stanford University, Nancy Wolf at Katharine Gibbs School, and Carolyn Young at Connecticut Col- lege. We understand that Mariella Pomar is studying in Europe, but un- fortunately we do not have specific information as to just where she is. Among the students who entered Rogers Hall last September we were happy to welcome Susan Crumpacker, the sister of Catherine Crumpacker and the niece of Marjorie Crumpacker, and Carolyn Pitt, who is the sister of Josephine Ellen Pitt. As this goes to press Mrs. MacGay is in Palo Alto, California, visiting Jean MacGay Curtiss and her family. She writes that everything is perfect- ly beautiful there at this time of the year and she is having a marvellous time getting caught up with her grandsons, Tony and Alan, as well as Jean and her husband, Bill. On the way out Mrs. MacGay stopped in Chicago and had lunch with Carol Brooks Pihl and Betty Gene Hutchins Draper. She also visited with Doris Jones Miller. Later she will go to Los Angeles, where Dorothy Kessinger Jessup has planned a small Rogers Hall alumnae luncheon. On her way home, Mrs. MacGay will visit Mrs. Frances Jones in Kansas City, Missouri. Many alumnae will remember that Mrs. Jones was a member of our faculty several years ago. All in all it really is a wonder- ful trip and We are sure that Mrs. MacGay is loving it all and will have a fund of stories to tell us on her return about the middle of April.

Our school work is piling high But no one seems to care, For summer is the time of year When minds are free, and bare. We seniors feel very proud- Not a one of us is glum, We pity the little undergrads- College, here we come! Our elders say we'll miss old days Of prep school fun and dances But this seems so impossible, We all will take our chances. To us this world seems trivial, We know all there is to know, Welve seen everything there is to see- To the moon we want to go! Soon graduation Hnally comes And our spirits are high, We hold our noses in the air, And down the aisle we fly. From the stage we gaze fondly At the girls we love so dear And, suddenly, the shock hits us- We won't be with them next year! We turn to look at Mrs. MacGay For her guidance and her aid But she solemnly shakes her head at us And sends us on our way. We seniors who once so proudly held Our heads far in the sky Feel a lump emerging in our throats As our carefree spirits die. Tears, then, clearly begin to appear On our so stubborn cheeks, We suddenly feel cold and alone Un our day which turned so bleak. Oh, how we wish we could turn back the clock And relive the days gone by 3 How much we all would love to once more watch The familiar sunset in the sky. Dear Lord, how we envy our undergrads May they protect the columns fair And let goodness and love forever grow From our hearts that have rested there.

C L 1959's ROUND ROBIN Caswell Motel March 28, 1970 Dear Marilynn, I'm sitting here at the Caswell Motel in Lowell and I decided to drop you a line with the bits of news which I have gathered on this visit on the scene of our Alma Ma- ter. By-the-way, the reason for this trip to Lowell is that I am trying to get the ban lifted on my latest book, Joyful Living, a story of boarding school life. The last two days have been quite busy but I've managed to cram in the time to see a few of our forrner classmates. I stopped at Adventure to order a woo-woo Ginsberg for lunch and was amazed to see, of all people, Edna Studley come trotting out. She's working as a car-hop there. Then, when I reached Boston, I decided to follow up a rumor I had heard - about Suzie and Trary. They've opened a salon for 'cThin people who wish to- get thinner. I arrived just in time to see the first customer go in. Now, brace yourself for this - it was Holly Budd. Knowing that I was surprised to find her in Boston, she explained that she is taking a Home Economics course at M.I.T. Well, time is running short. I hope youill write and pass the news along to any of the other girls from R. H. Try and get down to see me soon. y Love always, Dinah Foxhollow, Pa. April 2, 1970 Dear Judy, Forgive me, I know I've been a delinquent about writing but life around here has been really hectic. My first piece of news - my birthday present from Bill was a new Triumph that exactly matches Curtin's. We tear up and down the road in the morning delivering our respective children and husbands at school and the station. Yesterday, over our morning cup of coffee Caroline was reading the new cata- logue from Rogers Hall-she's thinking of sending her oldest-and we were amazed to read the faculty list. There seems to have been the usual turn-over but the greatest shocks were that Buttons has replaced Miss Manter, Sandy has taken over for Mrs. McSorley and Janet is head of the athletic department. Evidently Sandy has es- tablished residence in Lowell. The catalogue made much of the fact that Jan has revised the program and introduced lacrosse, a skiing team and is in the process of having an indoor ice hockey rink built. Honestly, the time flies. The twins just came crashing in and are demanding transportation for the afternoon -- must run. My best to all, Marilynn l Libertyville, Ill. April 18, 1970 Dear Patsy, You probably groaned when you saw a letter from Libertyville sitting in your mailbox, knowing that I always write with a favor to ask. I may as well come right out and tell you what the problem is. Alice and I are flying into Boston two weeks from this Friday about noontime and we're planning to take the train up to Hanover, but it seems that they have taken off all the trains to White River Junction. We were wondering if you would provide the transportation and go up with us for the weekend. Beryl was going to put us up but it seems that she has finally made arrangements to see Bob that weekend and it looks as if she may really get there - a miracle after those ive discouraging attempts. As you know, Alice and I never give up when Dartmouth is concerned and we got in touch with Sally Robinson, who is hiberna- ting in an apartment up there while she revises Chemistry text-books, and she has agreed to put out the mattresses for us. If you can make it - and knowing your passion for college weekends, I'm sure you can - drop me a line. Hope to see you in two weeks. Love, Judy Westford, Mass. April 26, 1970 Dear Nancy, This will be a brief letter. First of all I want to congratulate you on your re- cent assignment to the Vogue modeling staff. I was amazed to see two R. H. alumnae in the same magazine - you did see Linda Benner in the Ipana ad, didn't you? I was in Boston last week for a reunion with a few of our former classmates who were in town. We had quite a distinguished group. Ambassadress Gifford from Colombia, I like to use the official title, met us at Princels looking very smart. As you must have read in the papers, Betts is heading Castro's U. S. Presidential cam- paign and squeezed out enough time to visit her old haunt. Have to be off to supervise a little card game - yes, Carol and Sue Bridge still play every night. As ever, Patsy P. S. Suzie Shwartz was hoping to be here with us but she is flying for Northeast arlines now and had a flight to Madrid on the day of our little reunion. Too bad not to see her but she is having a marvelous time being very continental The Plaza Hotel May 3, 1970 Dear Margie, First let me say that I expect to be able to get up for the class party. Betsy Candee is driving up with me and we might be a little late as Betsy is stopping at a couple of places to plug her latest product - freckle-remover, of all things. I hate to bring up this sad piece of news but Pam Foote sends regrets. I should say her husband sent the regrets - Pam was laughing so hard while climbing the Matterhorn that she slipped and is on 'the danger list at the hospital. Cy flew up from her plantation in India, where she has a monopoly in the Madras weaving business, to be here. Although this is unconfirmed, I hear that Nancy Fiske is including a chapter on Cy in her latest book, Around the World in Fifty Trips. Can't wait to see you - you're such a good sport to keep throwing these parties. Love ya', Nancy Lowell, Mass. May 8, 1970 Buttons- You weren't in the inlirmary when I dropped up so I just decided to jot down these little tidbits and leave it in your mail box. I just got a letter from Kay Morrill, who has owed me one for ages, describing her debut at Cypress Gardens as the featured water skier. She wore a swimsuit de- signed for her by Carol Lord. Carol is amazing - she is the head designer at M.G.M. studios and yet she finds time for special jobs. Buttons, do you realize that there is only one member of our class who hasn't changed in any respect - she's Julie Vaughan, of course. A friend of mine told me today that she thumps down the corridors at the convent to the tune of The Battle of New Orleansl' and in addition is constantly being reprimanded by the Mother Superior for leaving her door open with the window up. Well, pass these odds and ends on to Mrs. Staten for the Alumnae News. I'll stop up again tomorrow. Love, Margieanne S. B., N. M., D. T.

KAREN THIELE JANE MIERS July 4, 1959 Recent alumnae and present members of the school will be shocked to learn of Jane's tragic death the night of July 4 in a boating accident on Canobie Lake, New Hampshire. Such things are hard to understand and accept. Surely her presence will be greatly missed by the Class of 1960 and we all shall long remember the lovely, quiet dignity that was hers.

Two hockey sticks flew up and down from the ground three times. There was a click and a cheer as the ball Hew down the Held . . . the hockey game had started! The low temperature must have boosted the spirits for, intermingled were the various shouts from the players, the stamping of feet, the occasional click of the ball and the cheering, led by Sandy Lathrop and Betts Copenhaver. There was an electricity in the air . . . a mixture of anticipation, hope and ex- citement, hovering, not only over the players, but over the crowd as well. The spirit never lagged. From the first few minutes, to the last precious second, there was a constant cheering . . . and, from the first goal to the last goal scored, there was always anxiety! Now, the hockey sticks are put away. Although Kava won by a score of 5-4, I am sure I speak for everyone when I say that every second made it an exciting well- played game. ., CAE CLUB KAVA CLUB R..--f' CAE: Morrill, Foote as...

T SECOND TEAM HOCKEY GAME On November eleventh a whistle blew, tense figures decked in red and white and blue and gold assumed positions on the hockey Held, and at the first showing of the opposing clubs, Cae and Kava, began with the second team game. The ball lingered at neither goal but was swiftly dribbled from one end of the field to the other by the agile, well-matched players. During the first half, Kava drove in one goal, but Cae thundered on for two points. Although the second half commenced with Cae leading two to one, Kava was far from beaten, and her skillful players, cheered on by the loyal fans, came from behind and added two points. As the final whistle sounded, the score was three to two in Kava's favor, but Cae showed by her sincere congratulations to the winning Kavas that her good sportsmanship was fully as important as Kava's much deserved victory.

ONE-ACT PLAYS IDOLS PHOEBE REES Set in the Cordelier district of Paris during the French Revolution, this drama- tic play revolved around the jealousy and love of six women. Yvonne, young, beau- tiful and haughty, was married to Jean, the beloved son of Charlotte Moreau. Feeling she was losing her son, Charlotte, pushed by Sophie's bitter hatred, turned on Yvonne. Filled with blind jealousy, she sent word to a group of patriots that a person who would deliver a buddha to them was a traitor, and dispatched Yvonne with the idol. However, on her way, the girl met Jean who offered to deliver the package for her and so this ironical play ended. CAST Charlotte Moreau . . . Karen Thiele Sophie . . Sarah Robinson Louise . . . .

MILNE As the play opens, a humorous elderly couple of the 189O's, Joan and Mary, are discussing the dullness of events. No sooner have they uttered these words, when strange men in black move through the apartment, shots ring out, a hunted man enters and his girlfriend soon joins him, guns appear, screams for help are heard, and the lights go out. The object of all this appears to be the quest of a jewel. As things strain to the breaking point, the man in the bowler hat, who has been sitting quietly on the sidelines, announces they will rehearse the second act later that day. Both plays were ably directed by Mrs. Dorothy Worsham, and Mrs. Katharine VVeller was responsible for the imaginative sets. CAST joan . . . . Susan Weller Mary . . Gail Stockwell Hero .

Nervousness hovered over Rogers Hall. There was the last-minute rush 5 the final touch of lipstick, the comb drawn hurriedly through the hair, and the straightening of dresses. Then fifty girls were walking into the hall. There was a quick run-through of the songs, a parting glance in the mirror by the door, and they cold night air blowing into their faces. The next thing they knew, they were face to face with the Phillips Andover Academy Band! Mr. Clift's voice broke through the whispers of, Isn't he darlingf' and Look at him! , to say that rehearsal was under way. The music played, the songs were sung and the hour was drawing near! The girls huddled into nervous little groups in the library, while the boys sat nonchalantly in the study hall. One by one they got up, hands in pockets and strolled casually towards the door, looking completely at ease. Or did I detect a faint shaking of the hands as they reached out to say How do you do?,', to their dates! A delicious dinner, served after the introductions, was quickly consumed. After finishing, the girls ran upstairs to swamp alley, to discuss their dates, fresh- en up, and wonder what was in store for them! In another part of the school the remaining girls were walking out to meet their dates. Soon everyone was again in the auditorium. The lights grew low, the whispers ceased and the Rogers Hall Glee Club appeared on the stage. Although they tried valiantly, they did not sound their best. Perhaps they were too full of dinner or overcome by their dates. However, they are determined to make up for it at Exeter! The Andover Band played a selection of numbers which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. There was again a brief recuperation period while the gym was being re- arranged for the dance. Upon entering, once again, one would have thought it was a completely different building. QThanks to the fine work of the dance committee.j .1 W +g9'l.- ,.

The music pro- vided by Ken Reeves' Band, began . . . the dance started! At intermission, the Octet minus one, headed by Beryl Joiner, gave a demonstration of their great ability. For most, 11:00 came all too quickly. The lights flared on, and Bill was on the stage saying Boys outside, girls in the gym! There was a hurried parting, and very soon, the busses were pulling away. I am sure we can say, on the whole, it was quite a successful evening! K. T. CHRISTMAS VESPERS After three longmonths of anxious waiting the day of the Christmas Vespers arrived, Sunday, December 14. The study hall was effectively transformed by shim- mering candle light. Seated at the front of the room was the glee club, while faculty, parents, and the remainder of the student body filled in the back. The afternoon program was opened by Diane Torrey, President of the Student Council, with the traditional Christmas reading from the Bible. The Clee Club followed with a selection of Christmas songs. Several of the students read original Christmas writings. Everyone was very disappointed to learn that Mrs. MacGay could not be there to pass out the lovely, long awaited senior rings. Miss Ramsay, however, read a letter which Mrs. MacCfay had sent over and then presented the senior rings. Christmas Vespers was closed with everyone singing Joy to the World. D. T. CHRISTMAS BANQUET On December 16th, the eve of the annual Christmas banquet, the student body of Rogers Hall marched into the dining room singing to Miss LeButt,s skillful playing of Deck the Halls. An array of candles lit the long table at which Mrs. MacGay and her guests were seated. The Glee Club entertained between courses of a tanta- lizing turkey dinner, Mr. Scalise was so delighted with their performance that he extended an invitation for them to sing the same carols for his congregation. Im- mediately following the meal, everyone proceeded to the gymnasium for the tra- ditional Christmas play. After the ushers had comfortably seated everyone in the gymnasium the annual production of the Christmas play commenced. Mrs. Dorothy Worsham directed the Dramatics Club, which gave a splendid performance of Come, Let Us Adore Him, the tale of a child's dream about the first Christmas. CAST Innkeeper . . .

Our glee club, capably directed by Miss LeButt, sang selections from South Pacificn and was then joined by the Exeter Chorus in several numbers. The Exeter Band played next and was thoroughly en- joyed. , Music for the dance was provided by a group of Exeter students and the dimly lit gymnasium was decorated as a ship. Unfortunately there was a-shortage of boys, but otherwise the evening was quite successful. p B. WINTER SKI WEEKEND X E After a weekend of much needed rest following exams, a busload of bold, en- thusiastic girls pulled away from Rogers Hall. Destination . . . North Conway, for three days of skiing, skating and fun. Upon arriving, the girls chose their respective rooms and were given their equip- ment. The first day up on the slopes was difficult for all, as there was a layer of ice over the snow. There were many different styles and methods of ascending and de- scending the slopes. The typical R. H. beginner was usually seen crawling up the hill and sliding down Qbackwardj knees straight, skiis crossed and ski poles frantically digging into the crusty ice. The second day was beautiful. The weather and wonderful condition of the snow must have been encouraging for all, for now even the most timid skier was bravely mastering her snow plow turns. Unfortunately, the last day of our stay was rainy and most of the girls took refuge in the Inn, playing ping pong, eating, playing the piano and watching tele- vision. As the bus pulled away from the winter wonderland I am sure every girl was looking forward to next year . . . when once again another bus will be leaving Rogers Hall. Destination . . . North Conway. K. T. FIRST TEAM VOLLEYBALL GAME The day after the second team game, the gym was again filled with the screams and moans of loyal Caes and Kavas. The Caes, dressed in bright red shirts and ber- mudas, played on the side nearest the balcony. The Kavas wore questionable com- binations of blue and yellow and, winning the toss, chose to serve first. It was obvious in the first minutes of the game -that the teams were well matched, and Kava was a scant six points ahead at the half. We had the honor of welcoming two new referees, Misses Crandell and Morrill. 'They both did their job very efiiciently and to the satisfaction of both clubs. Compliments should go to both clubs for their fine playing and especially the playing of the spikers in the first row. Although a few of them got tangled up in the net, many of -the balls went slamming over with what looked liked the attempt to annihilate the opposing team. The two captains, Cookie Dusseault for Cae and Karen Heiman for Kava, kept the spirit of their teams running high besides bring- ing able assistance throughout the game. At the final whistle, Kava was leading thirty-three to twenty-six. Everyone agreed it had been a fine game and thought that these players deserved their quota of orange sherbet.

SECOND TEAM VOLLEYBALL GAME The whistle blew! The ball was served, and the second team volleyball game was in play. Amid screams and shouts, the ball was batted back and forth over the net and at the half, Kava was leading by nine points. Cae, determined to do their best, fought harder than ever for the last remaining fifteen minutes. Kava, on the other hand, determined to keep those nine points, fought back. When the whistle blew Iannouncing the finishj the score was tie. An additional five minutes was called. Again the score was tie. An additional three minutes was then called-but the score still remained a tie. Two more two minute periods were called, each resulting in a tie. Then a final five minute period began, tension mounted - and the players showed some signs of fatigue and nervousness. The final whistle blew and the score was announced - in favor of Kava. Congratulations to both teams, for it was a well-played game! CAE KAVA Cornwall Crandell Gregory Crumpacker Lathrop, Capt. Fisher Litchfield Mason, Capt. McCarthy McGrath Schabacker Nevius Wilson Stockwell Wolf Washington K. T. THE SPRING PLAYS Two one-act plays were presented at Rogers Hall on March 2lst. The First was the scene from Anastasia, in which the woman claiming to be the Russian princess goes to the Queen, her alleged grandmother. She tries to convince her grandmother of her identity and finally succeeds. The Queen was played by Mary Argyle and Ann Campbell gave a moving per- formance as Anastasia. The Red Velvet Goat, a comedy, was the second play. This farce concerned a selfish woman who learns material things in life are not really that important. With the able direction of Mrs. Dorothy Worsham, the striking scenery by Mrs. Katherine Weller, and the capable acting, the evening was quite enjoyable.

FIRST TEAM BASKETBALL GAME Due to an epidemic of flu, the first team basketball game - originally scheduled for the Wednesday before vacation - was postponed until after vacation. The long overdue play-off was Hnally held on April 16th, a week after we returned from Spring Vacation. With good luck telegrams from various alumae to spur them on, both teams set out to win. At the half the score was Cae 25 and Kava 12. Kava would not give up the fight though, and in the last quarter both teams made an excellent showing. The game ended with a score of 47-33 in favor of Cae. Cae is to be congratulated for breaking Kava's long term winning streak, and Kava is to be congratulated for their amazing spirit and good sportsmanship.

SECOND TEAM BASKETBALL GAME After a long delay the basketball games were eventually played the first week after Spring Vacation. The second team game was played on the thirteenth of April. The captains were Barbara Washington for Kava and Betsy Candee for Cae. The game was a very rapid and strenuous one for the time that had elapsed since the last practice. Kava was ahead by a close margin right up to the end of the third quarter. At the beginning of the fourth quarter it was obvious that a change had taken place. The undauntable Caes had started to roll. They slowly but surely pulled away from Kava and won by a score of 49-30. Special credit should be given to Deborah Arnold of Cae who was the high scorer. Both of the clubs' cheerleaders performed with their usual 'cvim and vigor. Congratulations to both teams for their teamwork and spirit. CAE KAVA Arnold Hart Candee, Capt.

MARK'S CONCERT AND DANCE After a three quarters of an hour wait and no rehearsal, which would have been a much needed one, nearly seventy girls went to dinner on March twenty-eighth with their St. Mark's attendants. It seemed that at the last minute half of the expected escorts had practically killed themselves in hockey, basketball, or wrestling and were unable to attend the gala evening of song and dance. Of course the boys that the fortunate ones ended up with were not nearly as good-looking, athletic, excellent dancers, etc., as the young men they were supposed to have had - or so the grapevine carried it. The dinner was delicious, as usual, and after the R. H.'ers finished discussing the probabilities of the evening upstairs, the entire contingent moved to the gym. The concert began with everyone feeling nervous and aware of the lack of rehearsal. St. Mark's Glee Club led off with a group of religious songs. Our Glee Club then sang a group including the popular lf I loved You from Carousel. After some folk songs by St. Mark's the highlight of the concert arrived - the combined Glee Clubs singing selections from South Pacific. The Octet should especially be com- plimented on their part in the semi-solos and Ann Dixon for her solo in these numbers. While the chairs were being removed everyone had a chance to appreciate the tasteful decorations in the gym. The South American motif was, agreed all, very effective. For the first time this year a professional band supplied the music. During the intermission both the Octet and a St. Mark's group performed admirably. As eleven o'clock drew near the nearly unanimous opinion was that an excellent and exhausting time had been had by all. T. F. FATHERS' WEEKEND On a beautiful twenty-fifth of April the girls of Rogers Hall had a different group of escorts. Debonair, singers, athletes, rich, and handsome our fathers cer- tainly entertained us royally. At one o'clock everyone gathered for a delicious bar- becue, thanks to Mrs. Tremble's supervision and planning. After a successful song- fest, for which the fathers should take the credit, an afternoon of softball, tennis, badminton, and talk followed. In softball the fathers trounced their offsprings com- pletely, but they had failed to realize that winners pay for refreshments. Everyone, including the hostesses, needed a rest at that point. While the dads returned to the motel to freshen up, their daughters prepared for dinner. Again Mrs. Tremble deserves our praise and thanks. Fm sure our mothers are going to be pes- tered until they learn how to fix apples as we had them that night. Now perhaps the most strenuous part of the day was fast approaching-the dance. Following two or three skits our attendants set out to prove that they didn't have two left feet, knew the Charleston, and could keep up with anyone and everyone! They made it, but did their daughters? Sunday many brave ones returned to take us out to eat. Everyone agreed that the initial Father-Daughter Day had been a big success. Buttons McCarthy should be congratulated for her able leadership in running this gala affair. T. F. FOUNDER'S DAY Even a stranger passing before the white picket fence of Rogers Hall on this May second would have been aware that something special was happening. For that day was Founder's Day, the first Saturday in May when all possible alumnae return to celebrate with Mrs. MacGay and her present students the anniversary of our school's founder. After the traditional luncheon of chicken and lobster salad and homemade vanilla ice cream with fresh strawberries, we all enjoyed Mrs. MacCay,s speech and the reminiscences of some of the school's earlier graduates. Following this was held the alumnae meeting which is always kept a deep, dark secret from all of the students. Then came a short concert by the Glee Club and the Octet. The last and perhaps the most outstanding feature of the afternoon was -the water ballet with its South Pacific setting. Except for a few technical difficulties, all went well and everyone leaving the exotic atmosphere of the pool room was enthusiastically praising the '4South Pacificu mermaids and narrator Nellie Forbush falias Julie Vaughanl. As alumnae gathered up various belongings such as children and started for their homes, everyone agreed that F ounder's Day had been its usual huge success. S. R. SENIOR PROM The Rogers Hall Senior Prom oflicially began at 2:00, May 16th when the lawns of R. H. were suddenly transformed from the usual quiet sedateness to a maze of honking cars, suitcases and chattering couples. The arrival of gaiety set the pace for the entertainment that afternoon. This included ping-pong, badminton, strolls in Fort Hill Park and vicinity and a 3:30 tea dance in the cleverly decorated gym. At 5:00 the boys were taken by cabs to the Caswell Motel where they changed into dinner jackets. The halls of R. H. were alive with chattering and giggling girls and the rustling of brightly colored prom dresses. ' A buffet dinner of turkey, macaroni, peas and rolls with a dessert of ice cream and cakes began at 7:00 and continued until 8:00 when the first strains of music made by the Robert Hilmer Orchestra drifted in from the dining room. The motif was spring and soon the dance floor was filled with dancing couples almost com- pletely blotting out the fiowers and potted plants. The atmosphere was gay and the surroundings romantic, what more could be needed to make a perfect spring prom. Sunday dawned bright and sunny. The delicious steak breakfast began at 10:30 until 12:00 peaceful tranquility inspired by exhaustion reigned over R. H. Farewells were sadly said and a perfect prom weekend was brought to a close. D. R. SWIMMING MEET All of the students and many of the faculty were seated around the pool on May 18th waiting for the swimming meet between Cae and Kava to begin. The girls who were swimming for form went first. All in the poolroom was quiet, and steaming hot, as the girls moved slowly and with, what seemed to the specta- tors, absolute perfection. With a great deal of splashing, churning, and excitement the races began. As soon as Cae had a slight edge, Kava would catch up and the meet was nip and tuck from beginning to end. At the end of the last race everyone was waiting expectantly for the score, which was announced in favor of Cae 50-49. Kava should be congratulated for their wonderful sportsmanship and Cae for that little extra something which drove them on to victory.

SOFTBALL GAME On May 21, the first teams of both Cae and Kava assembled on the softball Held for what was to be a most exciting game for the attending spectators. During the first inning, Cae roared forth with six runs to Kava's one. From then on, Kava seemed to hit the balls directly into Cae's gloves, and it was obvious that Cae held the advantage. Several homeruns and many long balls were hit by both teams dur- ing the game. The final score at the end of the sixth inning was eleven to eight with Cae on top.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT On May 27, Pam Foote Crepresenting Caej and Caroline Curtin Qfor Kaval met for the finals in the tennis match. Though it was hot, both girls played a very active game. However, Pam Foote came out on top to cinch the title for Cae with a score of 6-1. K. T. BACCALAUREATE On Sunday, May 31st, the Baccalaureate Service for the Rogers Hall class of 1959 was held at All Souls Church. Reverend Johnson gave an inspiring sermon, dedicated to the seniors, entitled A Question to Guide You, based on the article Is It Right written by Pat Boone. Following the sermon a reception hour was held in the vestry of the church and attended by seniors, their parents, and the faculty. This once in a lifetime service for the seniors was the perfect beginning of senior activities and the Commencement period and will long be remembered by all who attended. D. T. MUSICALE Sunday, May thirty-first, at three-thirty, the Rogers Hall glee club presented its finale, a concert for its guests including parents of many of the seniors. This year the glee club sang a number of songs from the popular musicals The King and If' Flower Drum Song, Carousel, and South Pacific and several pieces of different types, including Brahms Cradle Song at Mrs. MacGay's special request. Besides the singing there was an added attraction: two piano duets by Miss LeButt and her able pupil, Barbara Cappi. While enjoying the refreshments served in the dining room after the program, everyone agreed that this commencement concert was the glee club's best performance all year. S. R. CLASS DAY Traditionally following the lovely and laughableC?j Senior Luncheon is Class Day on the Monday before Commencement. Starting were the numerous athletic awards which included the presentation of the various cups that had been won throughout the year by Cae and Kava. Badminton and tennis prizes were given to Karen Thiele and Pam Foote. For the second year in a row Linda Benner received a cup for her excellent posture. One of the high points of the ceremony was now at hand - the announcement of next year's President and Vice President of Cae and Kava. Ann Dixon and Gail Stockwell are the oHicers of Kava and Tibby Gregory and Georgia Grant for Cae. After the clubs sang their songs the program was turned over to the Seniors. The Octet sang for the last time this year and Nancy McGrath read the class prophecy. This was written in the form of letters and was extremely original. Julie Vaughan then read the class will. As always this presented a very humorous note to the entire proceedings. Class Day closed with the Seniors singing their song and the undergrads responding. Everything was in a lighter vein leading up to the seriousness of Com- mencement.

An outstanding performance was given by the madwoman Julie Vaughan and the audience was held captive by the rollicking antics of the other three mad- women, Karen Thiele, Gail Stockwell and Betts Copenhaver, Surely this play with its unforgettable scheme for setting thegtroubles of the world aright brought the year to a dramatic close.

R. COMMENCEMENT Although Commencement Day was gay and rainy, to the Seniors the day was clear and the world was shining. Dr. Culbert G. Rutenber of the Andover Newton Theological School delivered' the address and gave us much food for thought in his pointed remarks as to the deeper signihcance of the simple words I and You, His talk was followed by the long awaited presentation of diplomas by the Honorable John C. Leggat, President of the Board of Trustees. Then came Suellen's presentation of the class gift to the school and Mrs. Mac- Gay's gracious acceptance. After an informal buffet which followed graduation, the student body said good- by for the summer and left Rogers Hall to three months of recuperation. ,,.g.,.,k V .g 5.3. mm wx SA N qw W r . n A -, iw- . 4- .fr 3+ A .gf ' 1 ' X .J ' f fl , 1 .

General A letter to Mrs. MacGay from Cheryl Powers Buhl, written before her marriage which is reported in this issue, told us of the plans for her wedding. Polly Duane Ap- plegate was to be Cherry,s matron of honor. Last fall Cherry was a member of Polly's wedding party and was also one of Sally Allen Souder's bridesmaids, but as the Sou- ders are somewhere in California with the United States Air Force, Sally could not be in Cherryls wedding party. Penny Allen, however, was to be a bridesmaid. Cherry's Howie', is also in the service, stationed at Monterey, California. They have rented a house in Carmel, where they will live until his discharge next February. We have news of Nina Lindenberg through her mother, Florence Ganson Lin- denberg. Nina has finished her second year at The University of New Mexico and has done very well. She has joined a mountain-climbing club as well as The Anthro- pology Club. The Lindenbergs have a very interesting summer ahead of them. They are to take Florence's mother on a trip to Scotland. They plan to rent a car so that they can tour the country, which sounds like fun! Charlotte Marsh was a member of The Freshman Choir this year at Westmin- ster Choir College. She loves her courses there and hopes to major in voice. Ginny Miner Nichols and her husband, John, live in Chatham, New Jersey, at 73 Chatham Street. Ginny writes that Missy Steen Rex lives within a twenty minute drive of her in Scotch Plains, New Jersey, but unfortunately they have seen each other only twice. Ginny was most enthusiastic about Missy's house, which she said was lovely. In our last issue we reported that we had heard that Mariella Pomar had gone to Europe to study. Now we have had a letter from her and know that it is nc. WIC- She is still in Lima, Peru, where she has a position with the Canadian Embassy She finds her work most inieresting and she also likes living at home. Next Sepiunber Mariella will have a vacation, which she plans to spend in New York. She also hopes to visit Rogers Hall at that time. We certainly hope so, too. She'll be most welcome whenever she can come. ' Miss Ramsay had a most interesting letter from Anne Harvey Sexton, who now lives at 40 Clearwater Road, Newton Lower Falls, Massachusetts. Anne wrote that although she would have liked to go back to college on a full-time basis, it had been impossible. Therefore, she has taken courses at Boston University Graduate School, Tufts University, and a summer course at Antioch College. She did exceedingly well in all these courses. The most exciting and important event in Anne's life, however, was the acceptance last month by Houghton Mifflin of her first book of poetry for publication. It will not be out for at least a year, she says, but she was signing the contract on the day she wrote to Miss Ramsay. She has had poems published in many magazines already: two in The New Yorker, two in Harper's Magazine, one ij, The Yale Review, a group of three in The Hudson Review, and a long one in The Hudson Review as well as many others in similar literary quarterlies. Anne has given I ifead- ing at The Poet's Theatre in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and this month will it sake a radio broadcast sometime in June for a New York station. She has also ref 1 her poetry to various clubs and groups throughout greater Boston. Certainly Anne sounds to us to be a most important figure in the literary world. Naturally we are tremen- dously proud of her and happy that she gives great credit to her early studies at Rogers Hall. Vickie Kiser visited school shortly after Commencement. Having completed her course at The American Academy of Dramatic Art in New York, Vickie is thrilled to have been selected to serve as an apprentice with The Group Twenty Play- ers this summer at The Theatre on the Green in Wellesley. She is working hard, helping to make sets and doing all sorts of odd jobs. In their opening presentation, however, Much Ado About Nothing, she was chosen for two or three walk-on parts, which, of course, was most gratifying. Next winter Vickie plans further study in New York. As Jean MacGay Curtiss' husband, Bill, has been transferred to the head ofHce of his firm, Owens Corning Fiberglas, in Toledo, Ohio, she will be leaving California at the end of the summer. Of course Jean and Bill and their two boys, Tony and Alan, are loath to leave the lovely new home in Woodside, which they have been in for only a few weeks as this goes to press. Also at this time they have not found a house in the Toledo area, so we do not have an address to report in this issue. Jean is planning a house-hunting trip to Ohio next month, however, and we trust that they will have a satisfactory new home before September rolls around! c Ruth Bailey Papazian has reason to be extremely proud of her husband, George, as he was graduated this June from The Lowell Technological Institute, receiving his B. S. degree with highest honors. For achieving the most distinguished academic record in his class he was given the President,s Key and for attaining an outstanding scholastic record in the textile division he was awarded the Cotton Medal. George has accepted a position as a research engineer with Joseph Bancroft and Sons Com- pany in Wilmington, Delaware. As this is being written Ruth and George are in Wilmington looking for an apartment. They plan to move to Wilmington next month. Ruth hopes to teach in the Wilmington school system next year. We wish them the very best of good luck! Anne Wellesley Howes Sprinkle was graduated this June from Salem College in i iston Salem, North Carolina. We also assume that Rogers Hall was represented amonfr the graduates of the following colleges and junior colleges: Martha Milan Plunkett from Leslie Collegeg Helen Yafa Meyerhoff from Lake Forest Collegeg Marjorie Robinson from Boston Universityg Cynthia Boynton from Lasell Junior Collegeg Carol Bowes from Marjorie Webster Junior Collegeg Nicole Barson, Audrey Hockmeyer, and Vanessa Noble from Pine Manor Junior Collegeg Jane Packard from Westbrook Junior Collegeg Judith Parker from Centenary College for Womeng and Elaine Vargis from Endicott Junior College. Two years ago, having graduated from Pine Manor Junior College, Constance Veevers transferred to Denison Uni- versity, where she was a member of this year's graduating class. Connie has a fascina- ting experience in store for her. On July 2nd she will sail for England with a group of five students who are to take part in The Experiment in International Living pro- gram in India. A summer or two ago Connie went to the Scandanavian countries under the auspices of this plan. The group will spend a few days in London and then will fly to Bombay. During the ensuing weeks they will live with several Indian families in order to get an insight into the way in which various levels of society in that country live. The program ends the first of September, but Connie will go on to B na to visit one of her Denison classmates. This will give her the opportunity i l.,ow people live in still another country. Connie will be in Burma for a num- xs iiweeks and will return home on a freighter. It certainly sounds like a remark- able trip. We envy her. Many of the older alumnae will be interested to hear that Mrs. MacGay and Miss Mulhern recently called on Miss Bagster at her home in Harvard, Massachusetts. They found her remarkably well and proud of the fact that last March 24th she celebrated her 92nd birthday. Miss Bagster remembered everyone and was as keenly interested in all Rogers Hall doings as if she had left here only yesterday. In so many ways a truly wonderful person! I l ' f Mfwvlfkfwe VM O!
