On the fifteenth of last August the marriage of Teressa Stevens and William Kane was celebrated at Norwich, Connecticutg they are at home at Hillcrest Avenue, Geneva, N. Y.

French during the week, beside tutoring some people and attending night school in Buffalo.--This completes the history of our little class, but we all wish to extend our best wishes for the success of THE PINE this year. That the extra space is 'being devoted to the Alumna: is very pleasing to all of the Has-Beens. Faithfully, JUNIA OHART. Dear Alnrnna' and Students: The writing of this letter has proven the most difficult task since the term of my presidency began. Yes, even more difficult than that famous? speech on the occasion of President PoWell's Installation in Nov., 1913-all because I was not born a humorist and have never aspired to literary fame.-Of course IQI4 has been successful-if not always in the worthy profession of teaching, then at least in the matrimonial line do We shine, for we have four brides Cto say nothing of two babiesb and two engaged girls among our members.-Lucy Bevier was the first to marry, and she writes at length of her hubby, her child, and her home. She modestly asserts that she shines in the reflected glory of her husband and son. As a wife of the county agent of Jennings County, Indiana, she is called upon to explain to Mrs. Farmer the act of canning spare ribs and beans.,-Ella Conger, too, has taken unto herself a husband and in August, 1917, a little girl, Elizabeth Genevieve, came to brighten her home. My roommate has taken to the rural sections and is living on a I7O acre farm at Memphis, New York.--Anna Eggleston, and Marie Law have also left our class of bachelor girls. Anna, contrary to all expectations, has become so deeply interested in the younger generations that she continues to teach them even after marriage. When I last heard from Marie, her plans for the future were indefinite. Her John had been called into military service, making it necessary for them to give up their home. She was living with her parents at Leonia, N. I., and was undecided as to whether she should return to Columbia or enter the teaching Ii'-:P 4'1 4' ' ' ' Qau?f9f8S'e' 'ft ' - H ' V' 35
