Curry  Dormitory,  Longwood's  first  "high-rise",  opened  for  the  fall  semester.  Construction  is  well  under  way  for  the 
second  high-rise,  due  to  open  in  September,  1970.  This  new  dormitory  will  be  named  in  honor  of  Longwood's  third  presi- 
dent, Dr.  Robert  Frazer.  .  .  .  The  official  groundbreaking  ceremonies  for  the  new  home  economics  and  faculty  offices  building 
took  place  the  second  week  of  October.  It  will  be  called  the  Coyner  Building,  in  honor  of  Mr.  Boyd  Coyner,  former  pro- 
fessor at  Longwood,  and  his  wife,  Ruth  Harding  Coyner,  the  first  executive  secretary  of  the  Alumnae  Association.  .  .  .  Joyce 
Fay  Linhart  of  Newport  News,  a  member  of  Longwood's  1969  freshman  class,  was  the  recipient  of  the  first  Becky  Godwin

position  to  devote  full  time  to  teaching  and  research.  ...  All  administrative  offices  have  been  temporarily  re-located  and  the 
Rotunda  closed  off  in  preparation  for  the  renovation  of  Ruffner  Hall.  Joan  of  Arc  has  been  moved  to  the  Gold  Room  of 
,the  Lankford  Building  for  "safe-keeping."  She  will  return  to  the  Rotunda  when  the  renovation  is  completed,  tentatively 
in  the  spring  of  1970.  ...  A  meeting  of  the  council  of  the  Association  of  Longwood  College  Alumnae  was  held  on  campus 
September  27.  After  the  meeting.  Dr.  Willett,  Col.  John  Carr  and  Mr.  T.  C.  Dalton  took  the  ladies  on  a  tour  of  Curry  Dormi-

where  sophomores  live.  The  day  was  part  of  a  continuing  effort  toward  closer  communication  between  the  College  and 
the  parents  of  our  students.  .  .  .  Members  of  the  administrative  staff,  student  leaders,  and  several  faculty  members  took  part 
in  a  "Retreat"  prior  to  the  opening  of  school  in  September.  Important  issues  involving  the  entire  student  body  were  discussed. 
.  .  .  The  Richmond  Alumnae  Chapter  held  a  coffee  at  the  VEA  Convention  for  alumnae  members  and  friends.  They  had  the 
largest  off-campus  gathering  in  the  history  of  Longwood  College;  over  200  friends  and  alumnae  came  by.  .  .  .  Geist,  the 
leadership  group  which  is  the  successor  to  Alpha  Kappa  Gamma,  sponsored  "Oktoberfest",  October  24-26.  A  record  number 
of  parents  and  alumnae  attended  this  gala  affair.  The  Norfolk  Alumnae  Chapter  brought  a  bus  load  of  alumnae  and  pro- 
spective "Longwood  Ladies".  Several  other  alumnae  chapters  are  planning  to  bring  a  bus  load  of  friends  and  prospective

Statement  Of   Rights  And 
Responsibilities 

Mafiy  A7?ierican  colleges  and  universities  have  chosen 
to  establish  a  statement  of  the  rights  and  responsibilities 
of  the  institutions  and  their  students.  These  statements 
help  to  clarify  the  philosophy  of  the  schools  and  also  aid 
prospective  students  and  parents  in  making  their  choices 
of  an  institution  to  attend.  In  keeping  with  this  trend, 
representatives  of  the  Longwood  factdty  and  student  body 
have  drawn  up  the  "Longwood  College  Statement  of  Rights 
and  Responsibilities."  In  order  that  all  parties  involved 
cotdd  discuss  this  statement,  It  teas  on  the  agenda  at  the 
"Retreat"  held  prior  to  the  opening  of  school  u'ith  faculty 
members,  student  leaders,  and  administrators,  and  voted 
on  at  a  fall  faculty  meeting.  This  statement  has  been  ac- 
cepted by  the  Legislative  Board  and  the  factdty,  and  on 
November  7,  it  was  officially  adopted  by  the  Board  of 
Visitors. 


LONGWOOD  COLLEGE 

Statement  Of   Rights  And 

Responsibilities 

In  a  period  of  American  history  marked  by  major  cam- 
pus unrest,  and  even  violence,  the  Board  of  Visitors  of 
Longwood  College  views  with  great  pride  the  positive 
attitudes  displayed  by  the  student  body  of  the  College. 
The  Board  wishes  to  commend  the  students  for  such  ac- 
tions as  the  pro-College  demonstration  held  on  April  24, 
1969. 

So  that  all  may  be  aware  of  the  feelings  and  tlie  ex- 
pectations of  the  Board  of  Visitors  of  Longwood  College, 
this  statement  of  policy  is  adopted  on  November  7,  1969. 
The  adoption  occurs  after  due  consultation  with  faculty, 
staff,  and  student  groups.  It  is  recognized  that  no  single 
statement  is  capable  of  covering  all  possible  contingencies 
but  it  is  hoped  that  this  statement  will  convey  the  pre- 
vailing philosophy  of  the  Board. 

The  objective  of  Longwood  College  is  that  of  providing 
an  education  of  high  quality.  In  order  that  this  might 
be  accomplished,  the  Board  of  Visitors  recognizes  that 
certain  rights  and  certain  responsibilities  must  be  incum- 
bent upon  the  varied  parties  involved  in  the  educational 
process.  This  includes  the  student  body  as  well  as  the 
faculty  and  staff.  Total  effort  should  be  expended  to  pro- 
mote acceptance  of  the  concept  that  all  groups  comprising 
the  college  have  a  common  objective  in  securing  such  an 
education  of  quality. 

The  student  body  has  the  right  to  expect  that  the  fun- 
damentals of  due  process  will  be  accorded  to  each  and 
every  student  just  as  these  fundamentals  also  must  be  ac- 
corded to  all  members  of  the  college  community.  The 
Board  of  Visitors,  therefore,  adopts  as  institutional  policy 
"The  Joint  Statement  on  Rights  and  Freedoms  of  Stu- 
dents" published  in  1967.  This  document  was  prepared 
by  a  joint  committee  representing  a  wide  range  of  stu- 
dent and  professional  organizations. 

The  Board  wishes  to  note  its  concern  that  members  of 
the  college  community  have  the  privileges  and  rights  ac- 
corded to  other  citizens.  While  the  Board  is  concerned 
with  individual  rights  so  is  it  concerned  with  the  re- 
sponsibility   of    the    college    community    to    avoid    taking 


advantage  of  membership  in  this  community  in  order  to 
further  partisan  political  or  other  views. 

Embodied  in  the  joint  statement  is  the  concept  that 
freedom  and  rights  do  carry  with  them  certain  responsi- 
bilities for  all  members  of  the  college  community.  The 
Board  of  Visitors,  therefore,  asserts  the  responsibility  of 
all  involved  to  follow  established  and  orderly  channels 
of  communication,  inquiry,  and  dissent  and  to  desist  from 
any  action  which  interferes  with  the  rights  of  others  to 
pursue  their  normal  educational  tasks. 

Recognizing  that  the  student  body  has  certain  rights 
and  responsibilities,  so,  too,  should  it  be  observed  that 
certain  rights  and  responsibilities  accrue  to  the  faculty  and 
staff  of  the  College.  The  faailty  and  staff  have  the  re- 
sponsibility of  establishing  and  maintaining  open  channels 
of  communication  through  which  student  inquiry  and  dis- 
sent may  be  directed.  On  the  other  hand  the  faculty  and 
staff  have  the  right  to  expect  that  students  will  recognize 
student  responsibility  to  peacefully  direct  inquiry  and  dis- 
sent through  such  channels. 

The  Board  of  Visitors  can  tolerate  no  activity  which 
disrupts  the  normal  processes  of  instruction,  study,  re- 
search, service,  assembly,  and  incites  others  to  disrupt  the 
functions  of  the  College. 


The  Schools  And   The 
Peace  Movement 

(Written  in   191.t) 

This  is  the  age  of  progre.«s.  The  motto  of  this  cen- 
tury seems  to  be,  "Out  with  the  old,  in  with  the  new." 
Yet  the  solution  of  this  problem  which  stands  before  us 
today  and  which  would  mean  such  a  step  from  the  old 
order  has  been  dreamed  of  by  the  greatest  minds  of  times 
past — the  problem  of  universal  peace. 

It  is  the  duty,  as  well  as  the  opportunity,  of  the  public 
schools  of  this  generation  to  help  solve  this  problem. 

The  question  before  the  schools  today  is  not,  "Shall 
we  educate  for  citizenship?"  but  rather,  "What  kind  of 
citizens  shall  we  educate  our  children  to  be.'"  For  whether 
it  wishes  to  assume  the  responsibility  of  education  for 
citizenship  or  not,  the  school  has  the  responsibility  thrust 
upon  it.  And  so  it  is  clearly  the  duty  of  the  school  to  see 
that  the  citizen  it  produces  be  the  best  possible  quality. 

In  the  trudging  school  boy  of  today  we  behold  the  mer- 
chant, inventor,  politician,  or  statesman  of  tomorrow.  In 
a  few  years  he  will  hold  the  power  of  this  nation  in  his 
hands.  It  is,  therefore,  the  duty  of  the  school,  which  is 
one  of  the  greatest  factors  in  the  child's  development, 
to  see  that  the  power  he  wields  will  be  for  good. 

The  opportunities  of  the  school  for  the  development 
of  the  idea  of  universal  peace  are  many  and  varied.  There 
is  scarcely  a  subject  in  the  school  curriculum  which  will 
not  lend  itself  to  the  furtherance  of  this  idea. 

A  debate,  taking  up  some  phase  of  this  subject,  could 
be   arranged   as   a   program   for   May    18,   Peace  Day.    It 


should  be  kept  in  mind,  iiowever,  that  the  question  for 
debate  should  not  necessitate  either  side  to  debate  in 
favor  of  war.  For  if  a  person  does  not  believe  in  the 
beginning  in  the  position  he  has  assumed,  he  certainly 
does  before  he  finishes,  and,  therefore,  it  would  defeat 
the  aim  of  the  debate  to  have  one  side  a  firm  believer 
in  war  because  of  the  debate.  Also,  an  essay  on  a  subject 
such  as,  "The  Development  of  Peace"  or  "The  Work  of 
the  Hague  Peace  Conferences,"  could  be  written  for  such 
a  program. 

As  one  of  the  great  problems  of  universal  peace  and 
of  the  establishing  of  an  international  tribunal  is  to  get 
some  good  practical  plan  that  will  be  fair  to  and  satisfy 
all  nations,  a  prize  might  be  awarded  to  the  pupil  who 
brought  in  the  best  practical  plan.  In  this  way  not  only 
the  pupils  but  also  the  patrons  of  the  school  would  be 
reached.  The  children  of  a  family  always  get  the  rest 
of  the  family  interested  in  any  contest  they  are  working 
on  and  so  the  attention  of  the  parents  would  certainly  be 
called  to  this  great  problem.  If  in  this  plan,  that  the 
children  bring  in,  the  countries  are  to  be  represented  ac- 
cording to  population,  in  the  Geography  class  the  teacher 
could  have  the  children  find  out  how  many  representatives 
each  country  should  have. 

The  History  class  is  full  of  opportunities  for  develop- 
ing this  subject.  The  effect  of  war  on  a  race  can  be 
tragic.  The  fall  of  Rome  was  due  chiefly  to  the  fact  that 
the  highest  type  of  Roman  civilization  was  sent  to  the 
wars  and  killed,  while  the  inferior  type  remained  at  home 
to  have  charge  of  affairs.  It  is  also  said  that  the  average 
height  of  Frenchmen  was  reduced  one  inch  by  the  Na- 
poleonic wars.  While  the  teacher  should  not  under  value 
the  greatness  of  Caesar,  Napoleon,  and  Washington,  she 
should  at  least  raise  to  as  high  a  pinnacle  such  men  as 
Luther,  Jefferson,  and  Edison.  She  can  show  that  civili- 
zation advances  only  in  times  of  peace. 

In  the  playground,  the  children  could  have  a  tribunal 
to  settle  their  disputes.  In  this  way,  fighting  would  be 
done  away  with  and  the  children  would  be  putting  into 
practice  the  principles  learned.  It  would  also  teach  the 
children  self-control  and  submission  to  right  rather  than 
might.  And  certainly  individuals  must  learn  this  theory 
before  a  nation  should  be  expected  to  have  it,  because  a 
nation  is  made  up  of  individuals. 

The  teacher  must  be  very  tactful  in  the  way  she  treats 
this  subject.  It  should  be  kept  in  mind  by  the  teacher  in 
all  of  her  work  and  touched  upon  incidentally  whenever 
the  opportunity  offers,  but  it  should  not  be  harped  upon 
continually  lest  the  children  grow  not  only  tired  but  openly 
antagonistic  toward  it. 

Today  the  nations  are  not  ready  for  universal  peace. 
They  have  accepted  it  in  theory,  but  it  will  take  educa- 
tion to  make  them  proficient  in  the  practical  application 
of  these  theories.  It  is,  therefore,  the  opportunity  and 
duty  of  the  schools  to  prepare  the  nation  for  the  ac- 
ceptance of  this  idea,  so  that  it  will  not  be  many  years 
before  all  nations  will  be  living  together  in  universal 
brotherhood  and  thus  actually  be  fulfilling  the  highest 
plan  of  their  Creator.

The  Colonnade  Club 

Class  prophecies  seldom  predict  accurately  the  future 
course  of  a  student's  career.  Had  there  been  a  prophecy  for 
the  Class  of  1962  it  would  not  have  been  likely  to  predict 
that  seven  years  after  her  graduation,  Mary  Lee  Warriner 
of  Amelia  would  still  be  associated  with  her  Alma  Mater. 
This  time  in  the  unique  capacity  of  president  of  The 
Colonnade  Club,  an  organization  of  ladies  on  the  faculty 
and  staff  of  the  College  and  the  wives  of  faculty  and  staff 
members— an  organization  which  Lee  played  an  integral 
part  in  forming.  Nor  did  Lee  have  any  realization  that 
within  seven  years  she  would  be  the  wife  of  one  of  the 
academic  department  chairman  of  the  College. 

Lee  entered  Longwood  in  the  fall  of  1958,  expecting 
to  become  a  medical  technician  after  receiving  her  degree 
in  biology.  By  her  senior  year,  she  had  decided  that  she 
wanted  to  teach  biology.  The  reason  for  this  change .-'  She 
had  met  Marvin  W.  Scott,  a  recent  graduate  of  Hampden- 
Sydney  who  was  working  at  Longwood  as  a  research  as- 
sistant in  biology.  Lee  and  Marvin  were  married  in  August, 
1962.  She  taught  for  three  years:  one  year  at  Randolph 
Henry  High  School  in  Charlotte  Court  House  while  Marvin 
began  his  career  as  a  college  teacher  at  Hampden-Sydney, 
and  two  years  in  Christiansburg  while  he  went  to  VPI  to 
graduate  school  to  pursue  his  doctoral  studies.  Her  teaching 
was  interrupted  by  the  arrival  of  her  daughter,  Kathryn 
Page,  now  age  four. 

Shortly  after  the  Scotts  returned  to  Farmville  in  1966 
when  Marvin  assumed  a  teaching  position  on  the  Long- 
wood  faculty.  The  Colonnade  Club  was  formed.  This  Club 
has  its  roots  in  a  series  of  informal  teas  which  had  been  held 
monthly  in  the  Alumnae  House  since  1965  with  women 
in  the  various  academic  departments  taking  turns  as  host- 
esses. The  idea  for  these  teas  had  originated  within  the 
Social  Committee  of  the  College,  whose  members  felt  that 
with  the  growth  of  Longwood  the  women  connected  with 
the  College  needed  opportunities  to  become  better  ac- 
quainted. Recognizing  the  need  for  an  organization  that 
would  help  develop  a  more  meaningful  relationship  with 
the  college  by  affording  them  the  opportunity  of  getting 
to  know  each  other  in  a  wider  variety  of  activities,  a  group 
of  faculty  wives  began  the  difficult  process  or  organizing 
by  choosing  officers. 


During  the  hrst  year,  a  busy  year  in  which  the  organi- 
zation was  constantly  searching  to  find  the  best  way  to 
serve  its  members,  Lee  served  as  membership  chairman, 
participating  in  all  events.  The  Club  held  several  luncheons; 
a  tea;  a  smorgasbord  to  which  husbands  or  dates  were 
invited;  sponsored  a  panel  discussion  on  "Contemporary 
Trends  in  Art,  Literature,  Music,  and  Drama,"  to  which 
the  Hampden-Sydney  Hill  Club  was  invited;  initiated  a 
discussion  of  festival  customs,  dress,  and  recipes  in  foreign 
countries  by  members  of  the  Club  of  foreign  origin;  and 
presented  two  fashion  shows.  The  fall  show  was  in  co- 
operation with  Travis's,  a  local  dress  shop,  and  the  spring 
fashion  show  a  much  larger  undertaking  was  represented 
by  Baldwin's,  Esther  May,  The  Hub,  Leggett's  and  Travis's. 
As  her  major  contribution  to  this  varied  program,  Lee  was 
coordinator  of  the  Spring  Fashion  Show,  a  task  that  in- 
volved bringing  together  the  models  and  the  stores;  the 
publicity,  ticket  sales,  staging,  decorating  and  programs. 
The  first  year  ended  with  a  family  picnic  at  Holiday  Lake. 

The  next  year  Lee  was  elected  first  vice-president  in 
charge  of  programs.  Among  the  programs  for  the  year  was 
a  panel  discussion  featuring  "A  Spotlight  on  International 
Diversities"  and  a  panel  discussion  on  "Social  Determinism 
versus  Individual  Freedom".  The  Club  also  held  such 
social  events  as  a  tea,  the  family  picnic,  the  smorgasbord, 
a  square  dance  and  a  bingo  party. 

As  part  of  the  function  of  developing  a  community 
spirit  among  the  ladies  of  the  college,  the  Club  has  de- 
veloped a  number  of  interest  groups  including  beginning 
and  advanced  bridge,  sewing,  singing,  books  and  an- 
tiques. 

This  year,  with  Lee  as  president,  the  Club  is  continuing 
its  enrichment  of  the  community  life  of  the  College.  On 
her  executive  board  are  a  group  of  excellent  officers:  Mrs. 
Henry  I.  Willett,  Jr.,  Honorary  President,  Mrs,  T,  CuUen 
Dalton  (wife  of  the  Director  of  Special  Services),  First 
Vice-President;  Mrs,  George  R.  Bristol  (wife  of  the  Di- 
rector of  the  Physical  Plant),  Second  Vice-President;  Mrs. 
William  L.  Frank  (wife  of  the  chairman  of  rhe  English 
department).  Secretary;  Mrs.  Robert  L.  Banton  (wife  of 
Associate  professor  of  education).  Treasurer;  and  Mrs. 
Josephine  Magnifico  (Associate  professor  of  Mathe- 
matics), Historian. 


Mary  Lee  McKeever  (left),  of  Chatham,  and  Linda  Rumpf,  of  Clifton  Forge,  both  students  in  French  at  Longwood  College,  assisted 
Wayne  K.  Nunn,  acting  chairman  of  the  Foreign  Language  Department,  in  making  plans  for  the  "Longwood  in  France"  tour.  Here 
they  are  looking  over  some  of  the  material   in  Nunn's  ofEce  at  the  college. 


'Tongwood  In  France'' 
Completes  Its  First  Summer 

"Longwood  in  France,  j  five-week  program  organized 
at  the  college  last  fall,  has  successfully  completed  its  first 
summer  in  the  Loire  Valley  of  France.  Six  hours  credit 
were  awarded  for  courses  in  language,  literature  and 
civilization,  at  the  Institute  of  Touraine  of  the  University 
of  Poitiers.  Morning  classes,  taught  by  the  faculty  of  the 
French  university,  were  supplemented  by  study  sessions 
under  the  supervision  of  Wayne  K.  Nunn,  Director  of 
Longwood  in  France  and  Acting  Chairman  of  the  De- 
partment of  Foreign  Languages  of  Longwood  College. 

Tours,  the  city  chosen  as  the  study  center,  is  about 
200  miles  south  of  Paris.  The  population  is  approxi- 
mately 120,000.  During  the  month  at  Tours,  weekend 
and  afternoon  excursions  were  made  to  the  various  cha- 
teaux for  which  the  region  is  especially  renowned.  Wine 
caves  were  also  visited,  and  one  weekend  was  given  to 
a  visit  to  Mont  Saint-Michel,  off  the  coast  of  Normandy. 
Eminent  scholars  gave  supplementary  lectures  on  literature 
and  civilization. 

In  addition  to  the  snidy  period,  the  group  had  two 
days  in  Paris,  two  days  in  Madrid  and  three  days  in 
Lisbon.    Travel  between  countries  was  by  Air  France  jet. 

Longwood  was  indeed  fortunate  to  have  as  Associate 
Director  Mrs.  A.  Tyree  Finch  of  Farmville  who,  as  Mr. 
Nunn  expresses  it,  "had  the  affection  and  respect  of  the 
entire  group  and  sustained  our  morale  at  crucial  moments." 

We  were  also  fortunate  in  having  as  Assistant  to  the 
Director  David  R.  Riley,  a  student  at  Brown  University. 
"Dave,"  who  was  very  popular  in  the  group,  kept  stu- 
dents informed  as  to  policy  and  schedules  and  executed 
admirably  the  duties  of  travel  assigned  to  him. 

Compared  to  other  Americans,  the  Longwood  group 
was,  according  to  Mr.  Nunn,  "assuredly  superior;  there 
was  an  admirable  esprit  de  corps,  and  yet  they,  as  in- 
dividuals, found  French  friends." 


Fourteen  of  the  twenty-three  participants  will  continue 
at  Longwood  as  students  in  the  fall.  Two  are  graduate 
students  and  three  are  undergraduates  at  other  institutions: 
Radford  College,  Old  Dominion,  Brown  University,  Appa- 
lachian State  University  and  the  University  of  Virginia. 
Two  are  employed  as  French  teachers  in  the  public  schools 
of  Virginia. 

Sandra  Lee  Johnson,  valedictorian  of  the  class  of  1969; 
two  former  presidents  of  the  French  Club  of  Longwood, 
Mary  Lee  McKeever  and  Susan  DuPriest;  and  the  current 
President,  Kathleen  Wyman,  also  attended.  Other  mem- 
bers of  the  group  who  made  a  special  contribution  were 
Deanna  Bryson,  Secretary  of  "Longwood  in  France,'  and 
Mary  Lee  McKeever  and  Linda  Rumpf,  Dormitory  Co- 
ordinators in  France. 

"The  summer  of  1970  promises  to  be  even  better," 
says  Mr.  Nunn;  "We  plan  to  expand  in  number  of  stu- 
dents and  in  courses  offered  in  France,  Spain,  Mexico  and 
Germany  will  be  added  on  demand,  and  friends  of  the 
college  are  invited  to  join  us  for  travel  and/or  study." 


Professor  Earl  Rubley  of  the  Geography  Department,  and  tnenrj'- 
eight  students  bid  farewell  to  Colonel  John  Carr,  III,  vice-presi- 
dent of  Longwood,  before  beginning  their  tour  of  eight  coun- 
tries in  Europe  last  summer.  Dr.  Charles  Lane,  far  right,  head 
of  the  department,  joins  in  wishing  the  group  a  successful  tour. 


The  Richmond  alumnae  chapter  hosted  a  coffee  for  alumnae  and  guests  during  the  VEA  convention  in  late  October.  Left  to  right: 
Miss  Ellen  Lyon,  Longwood  sophomore,  Mrs.  Willett,  Mrs.  N.  L.  Negaard,  chapter  president,  Dr.  Henry  Willett,  and  Miss  Janice 
Austin,   president   of   student   government,   enjoy    the    occasion    which  brought  several  hundred  guests  to  the  event. 


Mrs.  T.  C.  Coleman,  Jr.  (LeNoir  Coleman),  past 
president  of  Farmville  chapter,  presents  scholarship 
award  to  Miss  Ethel  Statzer,  senior  at  Prince  Ed- 
ward  Academy,   who   is   attending   Longwood. 


Dr  Willett  and  Dr.  Catherme  S.  Sims,  dean  of  Sweet  Briar  College, 
lead  the  procession  into  Jarman  Hall  tor  fall  Convocation  in  No\  ember 
Students,  faculty  and  alumnae  and  friends  attended  the  program  and 
heard  a  most  inspiring  talk  by  Dr.  Sims  on  "The  Field  is  Won." 
Dr.  Sims  was  introduced  by  Dr.  Carolyn  Wells,  assistant  dean  of 
Longwood  and  professor  of  natural  sciences. 


The  Martinsville  and  area  alumnae  gathered  in  the  home  of 
Mrs  Clyde  Hooker,  Jr.  (Kitty  Sue  Bndgeforth),  for  a 
meeting  and  social  hour.  Enjoying  refreshments  are  Mrs. 
Hooker,  Dr.  Willett,  Mrs.  J.  H.  Barnes  (Helen  Smith)  and 
Elizabeth  S.  Jones,  alumnae  director.

CHANGE  OF  ADDRESS 

IT  IS  MOST  IMPORTANT  THAT  ALL  ALUMNAE 
NOTIFY  THE  ALUMNAE  OFFICE  IMMEDIATELY 
WHEN    THEY    CHANGE    AN    ADDRESS    AND/OR 

NAME! 

The  Alumnae  Association  has  to  pay  as  much  as  20<l: 
for  forwarding  and  return  postage,  in  some  cases,  and  this 
is  becoming  increasingly  costly.  Tracing  alumnae  who 
have  moved  consumes  time  in  the  Alumnae  Office  which 
could  be  used  to  better  advantage.  Much  time  and  money 
can  be  saved  if  alumnae  will  send  a  government  or  "mov- 
ing company"  postal  notifying  us  of  changes  of  address. 
Please  add  the  ZIP  CODE!

Hello  Thirty-fivers, 

I'm  filling  in  for  Frankie  who  left  for  Eu- 
rope when  letters  were  due  in  for  our  maga- 
zine. I'm  sure,  though,  were  she  here,  she'd 
agree  we  thirty-fivers  should  mark  with  a 
bold  red  pencil  the  date  of  March  21,  1970 — 
Founders  Day  and  our  35  th  anniversary.  That's 
hard  to  believe,  isn't  it? 

Since  Founders  Day  usually  starts  with 
coffee  at  the  Alumnae  House,  why  couldn't 
we  have  this  as  sort  of  a  meeting  place  and 
then  have  lunch  together.  Bring  along  snap 
shots,  citations,  medals — and  e.xperiences; 
we've  all  had  plenty  of  those.  I'm  sure.  Some- 
body bring  along  an  old  annual  to  help  con- 
nect past  and  present.  And  we'll  talk  about 
the  future,  too.  Think  Longwood's  future  is 
definitely  on  the  up.  Loved  the  demonstra- 
tion of  appreciation  put  on  by  the  students 
for  their  new  president — that's  our  college 
spirit  all  right!    See  you  in  March.

Weddings  and  children  arriving  for  spring 
vacation  kept  most  thirty-niners  from  mak- 
ing our  thirtieth  reunion.  We  missed  you. 
I  appreciated  your  letters  of  regret.  It  was 
nice  hearing  from  so  many  girls.  The  faith- 
ful few  who  arrived  in  Farmville  had  a  glor- 
ious time.  We  found  it  well  worth  the  effort 
to  go. 

Gathered  for  dinner  Friday  evening  at  the 
Hotel  Weyanoke  were  Nellie  Putney  Cas- 
teen,  Theresa  Graff  Jamison,  Sarah  Button 
Rex,  Ginny  Taylor  Collins,  Eloise  Williams 
Draine,  Eloise's  daughter,  and  yours  truly. 

Eloise  teaches  at  York  Academy.  Her 
daughter  is  a  senior  at  St.  Margarets.    Ginny 


is  a  first  grade  teacher  in  Bridgeville,  Del. 
She  brought  wonderful  pictures  of  her  at- 
tractive children  and  grandchildren.  I  en- 
joyed visiting  Theresa  and  Anson  in  Roanoke 
en  route  to  Farmville.  Their  home  is  lovely 
and  is  a  garden-week  attraction.  Son  John 
was  home,  and  their  eldest  son  was  at  St. 
Andrews  School  in  N.  C.  Nellie  is  a  high 
school  counselor  in  Chesapeake.  Sarah  was 
excited  over  two  weddings  this  summer  for 
her  daughters  Betty  Ann  and  Carol.  Sarah 
is  field  director  for  the  Girl  Scouts  in  the 
Virginia  Skyline  Girl  Scouts  Circuit.  It  was 
Sarah's  mother's  sixtieth  reunion  and  her 
daughter's  fifth. 

We  were  proud  to  have  a  classmate  repre- 
senting us  as  a  member  of  the  Longwood 
faculty.  Beatrice  Bland  recently  received  her 
Ph.D. 

LeNoir  Hubbard  Coleman  teaches  at  Prince 
Edward  Academy  and  is  active  in  the  local 
Longwood  Alumnae  Chapter.  LeNoir  and 
her  daughter,  who  is  a  Longwood  student, 
took  Theresa  and  me  on  a  tour  of  the  lovely 
new   buildings. 

Now  for  news  of  classmates  who  could  not 
join  us  in  Farmville,  but  sent  greetings. 

Betty  Von  Gemmingen  Bruce  has  moved 
to  Dallas.  Her  son  is  a  student  at  Southern 
Methodist.  Mead  Neale  Kilduff  is  a  high 
school  guidance  counselor.  She  has  a  son 
attending  Davidson  College  and  another  son 
in  high  school.  Mead  sends  the  message  that 
Northern  Neck  is  a  delightful  spot,  and  her 
home  is  always  open  to  all  who  care  to  come. 
David  Terry  Cave  wrote  from  Camp  Lejeune, 
N.  C,  that  she  was  unable  to  attend  our 
reunion. 

Lina  Willis  Weiler  of  Pheonix,  Ariz.,  wrote 
a  gay  letter  with  news  that  her  mother  (Carrie 
Hunter  Willis)  was  visiting.  She  has  two 
daughters  at  U.  of  Cal.  and  a  son  who  is  a 
U.  of  Colorado  senior.  Miriam  Vicklen  How- 
ell teaches  home  economics  in  Waynesville, 
N.  C.  Both  of  her  children  are  married.  Her 
daughter  graduated  at  Longwood.  Elizabeth 
Burke  is  principal  of  the  lower  school  at 
Collegiate  Country  Day  School  in  Richmond. 
She  asks  to  be  remembered  to  all  of  you. 

Elizabeth  George  Wilson  Steidtman  has  a 
son  in  Vietnam.  Her  daughter  is  a  graduate 
of  Longwood  and  will  be  married  in  July. 
Lib  and  Bob  live  at  Virginia  Beach.  Selma 
West  Moore  is  teaching  and  lives  in  Yard- 
ville,  N.  J.  Her  son  is  in  Vietnam.  Sarah 
Hayes  Armistead  spent  several  weeks  with 
her  husband,  traveling  in  South  America  this 
spring. 

Caroline  Givathmey  Jones  is  principal  of 
Towson  Elementary  School.  Her  daughter  is 
a  freshman  at  R.-M.  W.  C.  in  Lynchburg. 
Pattie  Bounds  Seller's  daughter  is  a  high 
school  senior  and  an  accomplished  ballet 
dancer.  Her  oldest  son  graduated  from  Duke 
in  1967  and  is  married  and  attending  T.  C. 
Williams  School  of  Law  in  Richmond.  She 
has  also  a  fifteen-year-old  son  at  home.  Mar- 
garet Stallard  Wooling  wrote  from  Virginia 
Beach  that  they  have  a  daughter  at  Longwood. 

Jane  Fowler  Olson's  letter  from  Upland, 
Neb.,  was  quite  newsy.  Her  oldest  daughter 
is  a  senior  at  Wayne  State  College.  Her  sec- 
ond daughter  is  a  senior  in  high  school,  and 
she  has  two  younger  sons  and  a  third-grade 
daughter.  Army  Butterworth  Lewis  has  a 
Longwood  daughter,  and  her  son  is  practic- 
ing law  with  his  father. 

Elsie  Dodd  Sindles  lives  in  St.  Clair  Shores,

1  feel  just  as  if  I  w'ere  going  to  have  two 
Christmases  in  1969.  One  thing  I  look  for- 
ward to  at  Christmas  is  receiving  notes  from 
friends  that  1  seldom  see.  Hearing  from  you 
Farmville  STC  grads  has  been  a  real  joy! 

In  order  to  gather  news  for  this  letter,  my 
requests  for  information  were  sent  to  sum- 
mer school  enroUees,  associate  members,  as 
well  as  June  1940  graduates.  Some  requests 
were  returned  because  of  an  incorrect  ad- 
dress. This  means  the  Alumnae  Association 
is  out  of  touch  with  those  persons;  that  made 
me  feel  sad!  The  number  of  replies  seemed 
to  be  about  par,  and  we  heard  from  some 
who  have  not  responded  for  several  years. 

A  good  place  to  start  our  newsletter  is 
with  A  for  Adams,  Ruby  Adams  Struhs.  Ruby 
sent  two  cute  snapshots  of  her  nine-year-old 
son,  Pasco,  who  is  a  cadet  at  Linton  Hall 
Military  School  at  Bristol,  Va.  He  ended 
the  year  a  demerit-free  cadet,  and  his  com- 
pany was  cited  for  being  the  best  drilled. 
Ruby's  husband  is  with  the  Trust  Territories 
of  the  Pacific  Islands  and  spends  much  time 
at  Guam,  Yak,  Truk,  Saipan,  and  on  other 
islands.  Ruby  lives  in  Manassas  where  she 
is  a  substitute  teacher.  She  and  Pasco  spent 
last  summer  at  the  Mayan  Dude  Ranch  in 
Banderra,  Texas.  She  reports  she  can  still 
ride  a  horse.     (I  never  could  and  still  can't.) 

B  is  for  BiUups — Anne  Billups  Jones.  Anne 
and  her  dentist  husband,  W.  B.,  live  in  Vir- 
ginia Beach.  They  import  English  built  sail- 
boats. This  requires  a  great  deal  of  work  but 
affords  them  much  pleasure.  Their  two  sons, 
aged  fifteen  and  thirteen,  are  sailing  enthu- 
siasts.   They  were  in  England  three  years  ago; 


19 


go  to  Florida  during  the  winter  months;  and 
do  boat  shows  in  New  York,  Washington, 
and  Richmond.  They  hope  to  make  the  Ba- 
hamas next  year.    How  exciting! 

B  is  for  Virginia  Boyd  Hudgins  who  has 
two  weddings  on  her  schedule.  Daughter 
Carolyn,  a  Longwood  graduate,  who  taught 
first  grade  this  past  year,  will  marry  in  June. 
She  and  her  "coach"  will  teach  in  West  Point. 
Daughter  Jeannie  is  a  junior  at  U.  of  Ga. 
and  is  marrying  a  chemist  from  Wilmington, 
Del.  Poor  Dad  Hudgins  fell  and  broke  his 
arm  in  two  places  and  also  his  heel.  They 
are  trying  to  get  him  home  from  the  hospital 
in  time  "for  the  first  wedding.  Best  wishes 
for  a   speedy   recovery,   Ray. 

Susan  Booker  Christian  writes  that  she  has 
two  married  children  and  five  grandchildren. 
She  is  now  on  the  approved  list  of  profes- 
sional genealogists  at  the  Archives  Depart- 
ment of  the  Virginia  State  Library.  She  is 
a  member  of  the  Virginia  Genealogical  So- 
ciety. I  know  many  persons  who  would  like 
to  pose  a  question  or  two  for  you.  Sue. 

Another  B  is  for  Hazel-Wood  Burbank 
Thomas.  What  an  interesting  account  she 
gives  of  her  family's  activities.  Bruce  flies 
his  own  plane,  and  she  raises  and  shows  West 
Highland  white  terriers.  Teenager  Beth  studies 
piano  and  makes  most  of  her  own  clothes. 
Teenager  Richard  is  a  scout  and  studies 
guitar.  Teenager  George  has  an  after-school 
job  and  keeps  the  family  supplied  with  Brook 
trout.  They  spent  last  summer  trailering  in 
Maine.  The  summer  of  '67  they  spent  21/i 
months  in  Washington  State.  The  family  has 
a  grand  time  working  on  their  three  acres 
and  jaunting  around  New  England.  When 
the  snows  come,  they  go  into  Hartford  and 
attend   travel   lectures. 


Pasco,   9,   in   the   center,    is    the   son  of  Ruby 
Adams  Struhs,  '40. 


C  is  for  Carrington,  Cogsdale,  Copley  and 
Cunningham.  Anita  Carrington  Taylor  is 
justifiably  proud  of  her  married  son  who  is 
working  on  his  doctorate  in  math  at  U.  of 
Wis.  She  has  contact  with  Josie  Lee  Cogsdale 
Taylor.  Josie  Lee  and  Lloyd's  oldest  daugh- 
ter graduated  from  Va.  Tech  in  June.  Tfiey 
will  have  three  children  in  high  school  next 
year  and  one  in  the  third  grade.  Anita  and 
Josie  Lee  are  making  plans  to  attend  our  re- 
union in  '70. 

Bernice  Copley  owns  a  store  in  Kenbridge 
and  finds  time  to  pursue  her  hobbies,  art  and 
aviation.  She  recently  won  first  and  second 
places  in  an  art  show  and  is  preparing  for 
her  private  pilot's  examination.  We  will  ex- 
pect you  to  fly  to  Farmville  for  our  reunion, 
Bernice. 

Mary  Lou  Cunningham  Warren  is  busily 
engaged  in  civic  affairs  and  was  appointed 
by  the  Governor  to  serve  on   the  Rural  Af- 


fairs Study  Commission.  She  is  piesident  of 
the  Virginia  Federation  of  Home  Demonstra- 
tion Clubs.  These  interests  have  taken  her 
to  Michigan,  Puerto  Rico,  and  Jamacia.  She 
recently  had  contact  with  Marie  Dix  Moran 
at  her  home  in  Oak  Ridge,  Tenn. 

Dorothy  Davis  Bowles  lives  near  me  in 
Henrico  County.  Her  oldest  daughter  gradu- 
ated from  Longwood  in  1965  and  took  a 
world  tour  last  year.  I  had  the  pleasure  of 
teaching  her  middle  daughter,  Marilyn,  who 
was  married  in  '68.  Her  youngest  daughter 
plans  to  attend  Mary  Washington  in  the  fall. 

While  visiting  at  Sunnyside  Presbyterian 
Home  at  Massanetta  Springs  recently,  I  had 
a  wonderful  chat  with  Beulah  Uttinger  Cobbs. 
Her  husband  is  the  Administrator  at  the 
Home.  She  and  her  traveling  family  are  going 
to  Europe  again  this  summer. 

Dot  Fischer  Mangels  is  resting  from  her 
two  years  service  as  class  secretary!  Aren't 
you.  Dot?  She  and  Bill  plan  to  visit  son, 
2nd  Lt.  Bill,  Jr.,  at  Fort  Ord,  Cal.,  this  sum- 
mer. Granddaughter,  Kelly  Ann,  never  lacks 
for  a  baby  sitter.  Dot  and  Bill,  Sr.,  live  the 
good  life  with  good  health,  good  friends, 
and  a  wonderful  family.  See  you  in  '70, 
Dot.  Incidentally,  she  recently  has  had  con- 
tact with  Emil  Ellis  Wood,  Frances  Alris 
Hurlbert,  and  Pat  Gibson  Stewart    ('41). 

Marie  Gill  Clarke  and  her  forester  hus- 
band live  in  Charlottesville  where  she  teaches 
in  private  school.  They  have  two  children: 
Bill,  16,  and  Kathy,  13.  Family,  teaching, 
and   attending   UVa.   keep   Marie   busy. 

Charligne  Hall  Chapman's  reply  came  from 
a  storj'  book  address — Paradise  Blvd.  in  Treas- 
ure Island,  Fla.  Her  husband  is  retired,  and 
they  have  two  children  and  one  grandchild. 

Hazel  Holmes  Rouse  is  married  to  a  U.  S. 
Navy  Commander,  retired,  and  they  live  at  Vir- 
ginia Beach.  She  has  contact  with  her  room- 
mate Marguerite  Russ  Lawrence,  who  lives  in 
Rocky  Mount. 

Jerry  Hatcher  Waring  is  a  mother-in-law 
for  the  second  time.  Tommy  was  married  in 
Michigan  on  graduation  weekend.  He  and 
his  bride  were  graduated  from  U.  of  Mich. 
Linda  is  due  home  from  Afghanistan  after 
two  years  in  the  Peace  Corps.  Jerry  is  still 
'Avon  Calling"  and  gardening.  Olivia 
Stephenson  Lennon  and  I  see  Jerry  each  Au- 
gust when  we  go  to  Roanoke  to  attend  the 
Annual  Home  Economics  Conference.  We 
have  a  marvelous  time,  talking.  Olivia  has 
rejoined  the  ranks  as  a  home  economics 
teacher  at  King  William.  She  went  to  War- 
renton  to  help  Carolyn  Booth  Saunders  ('46) 
with  her  daughter's  wedding  last  summer. 

Helen  Jeffries  Miles  reports  that  son  Jeff 
will  be  married  in  August.  He  and  his  wife 
will  be  in  VPI  Graduate  School  next  year. 
Bill,  the  youngest,  will  graduate  from  high 
school  in  June  and  enter  Indiana  U.  in  the 
fall.  Married  son,  Hugh,  III,  is  a  banker  in 
Richmond.  Helen  has  been  on  a  graduate 
teaching  assistantship  this  year,  while  finish- 
ing her  course  work  for  a  Master's  in  Eng- 
lish. She  will  devote  next  year  to  writing  her 
thesis  and  to  the  family.  Helen  included  the 
news  that  Laura  Morris  Burrows'  youngest 
son,  who  is  married  and  has  an  infant  son, 
was  graduated  from  Tech  this  year.  Laura's 
oldest  son  Morris  has  a  son  about  a  year  old. 
Helen  wrote  also  that  Libby  Robert  McCann 
('38)  has  a  daughter  Susan  who  will  marry 
this  summer.  She  and  her  fiance  are  both 
working  on  doctorates  at  Duke.  A  note  of 
sadness  from  Helen's  letter — she  had  just  at- 
tended the  funeral  of  Anne  Berkeley  Wil- 
liams Slaughter  Brennan  who  died  June  5 
in  Cal. 


Philip,  7,  and  Anne,  9,  children  of  Louisa  Dawson 
Smucker,  '46. 


I  saw  Sara  Keesee  Hiltzheimer  at  the  Iota 
State  meeting  of  The  Delta  Kappa  Gamma 
Sociery  in  Williamsburg  in  April.  Sara  was 
dividing  her  time  between  Iota  State  and 
the  Librarians'  State  meeting.  Their  oldest 
son  has  orders  for  Vietnam  July  8.  He  was 
commissioned  at  Fort  Sill,  (I)kla.,  last  June. 
We  are  all  proud  of  these  courageous  and 
patriotic  boys,  Sara. 

Our  condolences  go  to  Anna  Maxey  Boelt 
who  lost  her  mother  this  spring.  Anna  and 
Raymond's  Billy  plays  baseball  on  the  U.  of 
Richmond  team,  and  Judy  is  at  Chowan  Col- 
lege. 

Mary  Walker  Mitchell  Hughes  writes  from 
Atlanta  that  they  are  in  the  process  of  or- 
ganizing an  alumnae  chapter  for  the  greater 
Atlanta  area.  Best  wishes!  Mary  Walker  and 
her   veterinarian   husband   have    two    children. 

More  M's — Katherine  Mootnaw  Yowell  is 
teaching,  has  three  children,  and  finds  time  to 
be  very  active  in  community  affairs.  A  special 
interest  is  the  Community'  School  of  Special 
Educations.  She  reports  having  had  recent 
contact  with  Irma  Carpenter  Crafts.  Kath- 
erine's  family  and  Frances  Steed  Edwards 
('39)  plan  to  vacation  together  at  Ocean 
Drive,  S.  C,  this  summer.  The  Yowells  and 
Edwards  and  Pattie  Bounds  Sellers  ('39)  and 
her  husband  recently  spent  an  evening  to- 
gether   in    Washington. 

"School  Marm"  Lorana  Moomaw  says  that 
the  alumnae  letter  always  comes  at  the  rough- 
est time  of  the  year  for  school  personnel. 
Amen,  Lorana!  True  to  form,  however,  the 
busy  person  took  time  to  reply  in  full.  Lor- 
ana is  finishing  30  hours  beyond  her  Mas- 
ter's. She  reports  that  she  has  done  this  in 
two  years  at  a  cost  of  S52 — a  far  cry  from 
the  cost  of  her  Master's  Degree.  In  July  she 
and  Leona  are  off  on  a  tour  of  Europe.  They 
have  already  done  a  good  job  of  touring  the 
U.  S.  and  Canada.  Lorana  taught  Mary  Lou 
Shannon  Delaney's  (42)  child  in  the  7th 
grade  at  Woodrow  Wilson  in  Roanoke. 

M  is  for  Moss,  Nancy  Moss  Wollbrinck, 
who  is  widowed  and  the  mother  of  three 
children.  She  reports  that  her  health  is  bet- 
ter and  that  son  Charles  graduated  from  vo- 
cational college  in  June.  Daughter  Martha 
is  a  sophomore  at  Emory  in  Atlanta,  and 
Carol  Ann  is  a  junior  at  Tazewell  High.  Take 
care  of  yourself,  Nancy,  we  are  looking  for- 
ward  to   seeing   you   in   the   spring. 

N  is  for  Newman,  Kathryn  Bageant.  It 
could  also  stand  for  the  newsy  letter  she 
wrote.  Proud  Mama  reported  that  daughter. 
Sherry  Kay,  graduated  from  NCWC  in  Rocky 


20 


Mount,  spent  a  mini-semester  studying  in 
Mexico  City,  and  will  marry  an  economics 
major  graduate  of  NCWC  who  is  from  N.  J. 
Both  were  on  the  Dean's  List.  Kathryn  has 
been  busy  in  little  theater  work,  is  an  active 
sportswoman,  and  during  the  last  few  years 
has  traveled  in  Spain,  Italy,  Mexico,  and 
England.  Her  son  has  one  child,  and  the 
Bageant's  youngest,  Debbie,  will  be  in  the 
10th  grade  next  year. 

Virginia  Oakes  Trainer  and  her  husband 
are  at  Fort  Belvoir.  They  have  three  chil- 
dren. Virginia  teaches  2nd  grade  in  Guns- 
ton  Elementary  School.  Their  oldest  daugh- 
ter enters  college  this  fall. 

Frances  Bland  Pope  TiUar  lives  in  Em- 
poria and  is  a  housewife  and  dental  assistant. 
Daughter  Terry  is  married,  and  Kay  will 
graduate  from  high  school  next  year.  Fran- 
ces reports  that  Sudie  Diititon  Brothers  also 
lives  in  Emporia  and  teaches  in  the  high 
school. 

The  last  P  is  Powell,  our  own  Jane  John- 
son. She  is  teaching  and  looking  forward  to 
a  fall  wedding  in  her  family.  Tom,  the 
youngest,  will  enter  Hampden-Sydney  in 
Sept.  Powell  plans  to  attend  a  community 
college,  and  Rob  will  be  in  second-year  gradu- 
ate school  at  UVa.  Jane,  we  look  forward  to 
seeing  you   in  the  spring. 

Jane  Rosenberger  Dralle's  husband  is  in 
Federal  Civil  Service.  They  have  lived  on 
Guam  for  the  past  15  years.  She  is  in  Win- 
chester this  summer.  Jane  teaches  and  they 
have  two  children.  Her  recent  travels  have 
taken  her  to  Japan,  Taiwan,  and  Thailand. 
It's  so  good  to  hear  from  you,  Jane. 

Myra  Smith  Ferguson  wrote  from  Johnson 
City,  Tenn.,  wheie  she  was  attending  gradua- 
tion of  'Warner  T.,  Jr.,  from  East  Tenn.  State 
U.  He  was  commissioned  a  2nd  Lt.  in  the 
Army  and  will  report  to  Fort  Lee.  They  had 
dinner  with  Sis  Sturgis  Crockett  and  her  doc- 
tor husband,  Doug.  Myra's  youngest  son, 
Steve,  will  enter  VPI  in  the  fall.  Myra  and 
Harriette  Haskins  Eubank  ('41)  plan  to  at- 
tend the  wedding  of  Sudie  Dunton  Brothers' 
daughter  in  June.  Sudie's  son  Rick  is  mar- 
ried and  is  attending  MCV  in  Richmond, 
after  having  been  graduated  from  VMI  in 
June  '68.  Myra  is  a  PE  teacher  and  plans  to 
work  with  ghetto  children  this  summer. 

Shirley  Stephens  Clausen  writes  from  Pied- 
mont, Cal.  She  is  widowed  and  has  three 
children.  Edwin  Jr.  is  to  be  married  in  Au- 
gust. Her  community  activities  include  es- 
tablishment of  resident  homes  for  MR  women 
under  the  sponsorship  of  St.  Paul's  Episcopal 
Church.  They  plan  to  do  a  similar  thing 
for  young  men  soon.  In  the  summer  of  '68 
Mary  Mahone  Grannis  visited  Shirley.  She 
lives  in  Lake  Forrest,  111.  Shirley  frequently 
hears  from  Pattie  Smith  Kaylor    ('41). 

Having  no  X  Y  Z's,  we  conclude  our 
alphabetical  newsletter  with  'W.  How  nice 
to  hear  from  our  beautiful  May  Queen,  Lula 
Windham  Hannaway.  Lula  lives  in  St.  Louis 
where  she  teaches.  She  has  two  children  and 
sends  greetings  to  all.  How  about  flying  to 
Virginia  this  spring  for  our  reunion,  Lula? 

Sylvia  Dunnavant  Allen  of  'Woodbridge 
has  been  awarded  our  International  Scholat- 
ship  by  Delta  Kappa  Gamma,  with  which 
she  will  complete  her  doctorate  at  George 
Wash.  Univ.  Jean  Watts  Poe  has  received 
her  Master's  from  Miami  of  Ohio  Univ. 

The  writing  of  this  letter  was  interrupted 
by  a  trip  to  Boston  where  I  attended  the 
60th  anniversary  of  the  American  Home  Eco. 
nomics   Association.    Had   a   wonderful    time. 


Incidentally  the  mailing  list  is  not  en- 
tirely accurate.  Let's  shower  Liz  Jones  with 
postal  cards  containing  our  correct  addresses 
and  zip  codes.  Encourage  others  to  do  the 
same  thing. 

It  has  been  fun  writing  this  letter.  It  has 
taken  30  years  for  my  turn  to  come.  Will 
look  forward  to  wiiting  again  in  1999.  In 
the  meanwhile,  see  you  at  Founders  Day  in 
1970.

Dear  Forty-oners, 

I  hope  this  has  been  a  good  year  for  you 
all.  News  is  not  so  plentiful  because  fewet 
of  you  wrote  letters.  Time  and  postage  be- 
come problems  when  I  have  to  write  you 
first  to  ask  for  lettets  because  the  deadline 
for  this  newsletter  approaches  quickly  and  at 
a  very  busy  time  of  year.  Do  write  me  when- 
ever you  and  your  family  have  an  interesting 
experience  or  whenever  you  see  one  of  our 
classmates. 

In  February  Caralie  Nelson  Brown  and  I 
had  an  unexpected  meeting  at  the  Duke  So- 
cial Studies  Confetence.  She  is  teaching  his- 
toty  and  Latin  in  Raleigh.  We  talked  fast 
and  furiously  to  catch  up  on  all  that  had 
happened  since  our  class  reunion  in  'G6,  and 
then  the  weatherman  pulled  a  big  surprise 
by  keeping  us  snowbound  in  Durham  for  an 
extra  day!  Caralie's  daughter,  Nanc>',  is  a 
classmate  at  Duke  of  Linda  Butcher,  who  is 
Marie  Alleji  Burcher's  daughter. 

Jean  Mover  Scorgie  writes  that  her  Linda 
has  had  a  rugged  time  in  Vietnam  with  the 
Red  Cfoss.  She  has  been  on  duty  at  a  hos- 
pital where  the  wounded  from  the  fighting 
areas  are  first  brought;  so  she  has  seen  the 
real  face  of  war.  But  she  seems  to  feel  that 
what  she  is  doing  is  both  necessary  and  im- 
portant. Neil,  Jean's  son,  is  a  freshman  at 
the  U.  of  Miami;  his  interest  is  marine  bi- 
ology. Robin  is  a  sophomore  at  Ohio  LI., 
and  Cathy  is  a  senior  in  high  school.  Next 
year  Jean  and  Don  will  have  rhree  in  col- 
lege! Jean  had  major  surgery  last  year  and 
had  an  enforced  period  of  idleness  which  was 
difficult  for  her! 

Boo  Barham  Sions  and  her  family  had  a 
beach  vacation  during  the  summer;  last  Christ- 
mas they  visited  a  ski  resort.  Boo  claims  she 
prefers  to  sleep  late  and  catch  up  on  her 
reading  while  the  younger  members  of  the 
family  take  patt  in  the  more  active  sports. 
Martha  Smith  White  and  her  husband  had  a 
European  vacation  last  year.  Their  second 
son,  Allen,  was  graduated  from  high  school 
in  June  and  now  is  a  student  at  Hampden- 
Sydney. 

Anna  George  Dashiell's  older  daughter, 
Linda,  was  married  last  fall,  and  Anna  was 
as  pretty  as  her  daughters.  Sue  the  younger 
girl,  is  a  student  at  East  Carolina.  Florence 
Lee  Putnam,  bless  her,  is  a  faithful  corres- 
pondent. Her  letter  this  time  came  from 
Hampton  where  she  had  been  called  because 
of  the  death  of  her  father.  Our  sincerest 
sympathy,  Florence. 


The  Putnams  have  added  another  140 
acres  to  their  ranch;  so  their  land  is  close  to 
2,000  acies  now.  James  Lee  is  a  senior  in 
a  five-year  engineering  program  at  Washing- 
ton State  U.  He  has  a  grant  from  ROTC 
Aero-Space  program  and  a  campus  job  made 
available  to  only  three  engineering  smdents. 
Fred  was  graduated  from  high  school  in  June, 
where  during  this  past  year  he  served  as 
President  of  the  smdent  body.  Julia,  16,  is 
active  in  many  school  organizations.  She  is 
interested  in  a  career  in  social  work.  Flor- 
ence also  had  major  surgery  last  year;  so  she 
stayed  in  Virginia  a  month  last  winter  to 
rest  and  to  visit  with  her  family  and  friends. 
She  saw  Jack  Cock  Ferraro  several  times  while 
she  was  here. 

Dot  Menefee  MacCammond  and  her  hus- 
band enjoyed  a  winter  vacation  in  Florida 
(wouldn't  we  all.').  They  are  still  in  Chris- 
tiansburg  where  he  is  rector  of  the  Episcopal 
Church.  Dotty  Rollins  Pauly  and  her  daugh- 
ter, Maggi,  were  making  the  college  circTiit 
this  past  spring   to   help  Maggi   choose. 

In  April  there  was  a  state  meeting  of 
local  Supervisors  of  Social  Studies  (there  are 
only  12  of  us  in  Va. )  in  Williamsburg;  as 
I  was  leaving  the  final  session,  I  found  Mar- 
tha W'helchel  Plummet  waiting  for  me.  That's 
the  kind  of  sutptise  that  brings  joy  for  many 
days!  We  had  a  leisurely  lunch  together 
and  talked  madly.  Both  her  daughters  are 
married  now  and  live  out  of  the  state,  but 
Martha  looks  for  oppormnities  to  visit  her 
little  grandson!  Her  husband  has  a  very  re- 
sponsible position  with  the  Newport  News 
Shipbuilding  and  Dry  Dock  Co.;  so  to  help 
him  relax  whenever  he  can  get  a  few  hours 
oiT,  they  have  built  a  vacation  cottage  on 
Gloucester   Point. 

Charlotte  Avery  is  working  on  her  Mas- 
ter's degree  at  'William  and  Mary.  She  is 
dean  of  girls  at  one  of  our  high  schools  in 
Portsmouth. 

My  work  keeps  me  busy,  and  the  Social 
Studies  field  is  really  in  the  thick  of  things 
now.  I  work  with  eighty-five  teachers  in  nine 
junior  and  senior  high  schools,  and  my  re- 
sponsibilities range  from  curriculum  to  ma- 
terials, from  building  design  to  in-service 
meetings,  and  from  the  problems  of  integra-

tion  to  those  of  innovative  teaching.  Do  you 
remember  Dr.  Jarman's  chapel  talk  on  master 
teachers?  I  often  wish  that  some  of  our  new 
teachers  could  draw  inspiration  from  that 
speech! 

I  have  served  on  the  State  Board  of  Edu- 
cation's Professional  Committee  on  Citizen- 
ship Education  this  year.  It  was  an  interest- 
ing and,  I  hope,  beneficial  approach  to  en- 
courage all  teachers  to  assume  greater  respon- 
sibility for   improved   teaching  in  this   area. 

A  group  of  us  attended  the  spting  lunch- 
eon of  the  Norfolk-Portsmouth  Alumnae 
Chapter  to  hear  Dr.  Willett,  our  President 
of  Longwood,  speak.  All  of  us  were  most 
impressed  both  with  the  work  he  is  doing 
and  with  the  lines  of  communication  he  has 
opened  with  the  students.  I  have  known  and 
worked  with  him  for  a  number  of  years,  and 
I  feel  that  Longwood  will  prosper  greatly 
under  his  leadership.  Did  you  see  Caralie  in 
the  picture  of  the  inauguration? 

Do  help  me  out  by  sending  in  news  regu- 
latly.  All  of  us  like  to  keep  in  touch  and 
enjoy  a  really  newsy  letter.

Anne  Fitzgerald  had  a  wonderful  trip  to 
New  England  and  returned  via  the  Poconos 
and  Catskills,  in  Washington  Irving  terri- 
tory; this,  no  doubt,  gave  her  good  material 
for  her  writing  and  art.  Margaret  K'ttchin 
Gilliam  married  off  her  oldest  daughter,  Har- 
riet, on  Maggie's  and  Charles'  25th  wedding 
anniversary.  Son  Charles,  Jr.,  is  a  freshman 
at  N.  C.  State,  and  youngest  daughter  is  in 
9th  grade.  Stella  Scott  Bosworth  and  her 
husband  have  just  finished  building  a  new 
home  which  Stella  is  all  excited  about.  Old- 
est son,  Chris,  finished  at  Hampden-Sydney 
last  June,  and  married  the  same  month.  He 
is  now  going  to  MCV,  studying  medicine. 
Jeb  statts  to  Hampden-Sydney  in  Sept.  Eliza 
is  14.  Stella  wrote  that  Jane  Scott  Webb  is 
in  Nigeria.  Her  husband  is  with  USAID, 
and  they  expect  to  be  home  this  summer  for 
reassignment.  Lucille  Johnston  is  Ass't  Ele- 
mentary Principal  of  Delaware  County  Chris- 
tian School  in  Newtown  Squaie,  Pa.  (suburb 
of  Philadelphia).  Lucille  had  a  trip  to  Eng- 
land in  late  May  and  early  June.  She  keeps 
busy,  contributing  articles  to  "Christ  an 
Teacher."  Evelyn  Breedlove  taught  school 
43  years  and  is  now  retired.  She  got  her 
degree  with  our  class,  after  attending  sum- 
mer school  and  taking  correspondence  courses 
through  the  years.  She  is  very  proud  of  her 
many  children  she  taught,  several  of  whom 
are  ministers,  principals,  etc.  After  21  years 
of  teaching,  Ada  Claire  Snyder  Snyder  finally 
decided  to  be  a  full-time  housewife!  Ada 
Claire  has  done  some  writing  which  has 
been  published  in  "Washington  Post"  and  in 
"Virginia  Wildlife."  Husband,  Bill,  is  now 
Asst.  Supt.  of  Schools  in  Warrenton.  Ada 
Claire  also  offered  to  help  edit  this  column 
next  year.  Thanks!  Would  you  believe  it — 
we  finally  heard  from  Mary  "Fiddle"  Haymes! 
She  celebrates  25  years  with  DuPont  this 
July.  She  is  now  living  in  Paoli,  Pa.,  and 
spends  every  possible  moment  at  her  summer 


cottage  about  40  miles  from  there  where 
she  says  she  "fishes,  gardens,  and  listens  to 
the  trees  grow!"  Susie  Moore  Cieszko  has 
big  plans  for  a  tour  of  Europe  this  June  with 
husband,  Ed.  Sons  Martin  and  Ned  will  take 
over  for  their  dad  while  he  is  gone.  Ned 
graduates  from  high  school  and  plans  to  go 
to  N.  C.  State  to  major  in  architecture.  Leona 
Moomaw  visited  in  Sarasota  and  Venice  and 
didn't  even  know  I  lived  here!  Last  sum- 
mer she  toured  Nova  Scotia,  New  Bruns- 
wick, and  Prince  Edward  Island.  This  sum- 
mer she  is  heading  for  a  tour  of  11  coun- 
tries in  Europe.  She  hopes  to  visit  her  old 
roommate  Dreama  Waid  Johnson  in  Italy. 
Winifred  Wright  Heron  writes  that  they 
hated  leaving  Reno  to  move  to  Lawrence, 
Kansas,  but  now  that  they  are  happily  situ- 
ated in  a  100-year-old  house  with  a  studio 
for  Winifred,  the  adjustment  has  been  made 
easier  for  them.  Daughter,  Holly,  finishes  at 
the  Univ.  of  Cal.  next  year.  Son,  Jim,  enters 
Antioch,  in  Ohio  this  summer,  and  4-year- 
old  Charlie  keeps  the  family  on  its  toes! 
Last  summer  Betty  Youngherg  Ottesen  had 
a  vacation  in  Europe.  Sit  down  girls,  be- 
cause this  is  going  to  really  "get"  you!  Betty 
will  be  a  grandtna  in  Sept.!  Helen  Lewis 
Bishop  and  her  husband  visited  Betty  in 
January.  Betty  also  was  in  Sarasota  in  Feb. 
These  girls!  Pauline  Smith  Robinson  is  one 
of  the  first  two  resource  teachers  in  the  city 
of  Baltimore  since  1952  and  loves  it.  The 
Hampton  crowd  had  a  wonderful  reunion 
in  Williamsburg  this  spring.  Present  were 
Sarah  Wade  Owen,  Cynthia  James  Riddick, 
Betty  Harper  Wyatt,  Jerry  Smith  Shawen  and 
Lilly  Bee  Gray  Zehmer.  These  girls  from 
Hampton  met  Shirley  Turner  Van  Landing- 
ham,  Frances  Parham  Jeanes.  Agnes  Patter- 
son Kelly,  Dot  Childress  Hill  from  Peters- 
burg, and  they  all  got  together  with  Lucy 
Davis  Gunn  who  gave  them  a  guided  tour 
of  her  two  wonderful  shops.  It  sounds  ex- 
citing! Anne  Rogers  Stark  has  a  nice,  quiet, 
"tensionless"  place  in  which  to  work — Chris- 
topher Newport  College  Library,  which  is  a 
branch  of  William  and  Mary.  That  place 
will  probably  be  flooded  with  applications 
for  employment!  Anne  visited  with  Alice 
Seebert  Godwin  when  she  brought  her  daugh- 
ter to  William  and  Mary.  Anne  writes  that 
Dearing  Vauntleroy  Johnston's  husband  has 
opened  a  brick  plant  in  Salisbury,  N.  C.  Our 
sympathy  goes  out  to  Ann  who  lost  her 
mother  in  April.  Edna  Broun  Lupton's  Jan 
will  be  a  Jr.  at  the  Univ.  of  New  Mexico 
next  year,  and  Jennifer  will  be  a  Sr.  in  high 
school.  Edna  said  when  my  letter  came,  she 
and  husband  "Sandy"  got  out  the  annual 
and  refreshed  their  memories  of  "STC"  days. 
Another  one  went  thtough  Sarasota  in  March 
— Frances  MaUory  Miller;  Ruth  Palmer  Van 
Doren  was  with  her.  They  were  visiting  is- 
lands around  this  part  of  the  country.  Fran- 
ces savs  that  with  both  children  gone,  she 
has  joined  "the  needlepoint  and  hospital  vol- 
unteer group."  Daughter,  Sue,  finishes  her 
Jr.  year  at  Vassar  and  son.  Skipper,  finishes 
his  first  year  at  Albany  Medical  College.  Anne 
Covington  Fulghum  is  very  happy,  and  has 
every  right  to  be,  over  the  safe  remrn  of  her 
son  from  Vietnam.  He  served  as  a  line  medic 
with  the  1st  Infantry  Air  Fighter  Group  for 
a  year.  He  is  in  college  now  and  making 
straight  A's.  We  are  all  happy  for  you, 
Anne.  Betty  Boutchard  Maclntire  writes  that 
they  are  trying  to  start  a  Longwood  Alumnae 
Chapter  in  Atlanta.  Betty  wrote  also  that 
Anne  \Y^are  Smith  died  in  Ortober.  Sarah 
Wade  Owen  visited  with  Betty  last  summer. 
Ella  Marsh  Pilkinton  Adams'  daughter,  Sally, 


is  a  debutante  in  Atlanta.  Sally  goes  to  the 
U.  of  S.  C.  Lucy  Davis  Gunn  and  Betty 
Harper  (Harpoo)  Wyatt  see  each  other  often 
in  Williamsburg.  From  other  reports,  Lucy 
is  "sold"  on  Williamsburg.  Heard  through 
Shirley  Turner  Van  Landingham  that  Frances 
Parham  Jeanes  had  a  wedding  in  the  family 
last  Oct.  when  daughter,  Fran,  was  married. 
Shirley  also  wrote  that  Mary  Stuart  Wamsley 
Hinson  is  a  principal  in  Fairfax  and  that  she 
ran  into  Helen  Wiley  Hardy  Wheat  in  Rich- 
mond in  March  at  a  Consetvation  Meeting  for 
Garden  Clubs  of  Va.  She  saw  Sarah  Massie 
Goode  Gregory  at  G.C.Va.  annual  meeting 
in  Norfolk  in  May  and  says  she  gets  better 
looking  every  year.  What's  your  secret,  Sarah 
Massie?  Shirley  says  she  just  "worries  with 
3  big  sons  and  their  education."  Alice  Belote 
Curling's  oldest  daughter,  Sharon,  is  now  a 
Longwood  graduate!  Youngest  daughter. 
Susan,  was  valedictorian  in  her  high  school 
graduation  in  June.  Son,  E.  P.,  will  com- 
plete his  first  year  at  V.P.I.  Alice  and  family 
are  planning  a  trip  to  Bermuda.  "Adding  a 
room  project"  was  a  family  affair  for  Brookie 
Benton  Dickerman  and  family  last  summer. 
It  progressed  so  slowly  that  they  had  time 
to  enjoy  each  stage.  Biookie  and  Alice  See- 
bert Godwin  plan  to  get  together  in  June  in 
Lexington.  They  have  two  years  to  catch  up 
on.  Brookie  also  writes  that  "Bee"  Reid  Par- 
adis  will  be  coming  to  Staunton  some  time 
in  August.  "Bee"  and  family  live  in  London 
now.  Anne,  41/2.  and  William,  9,  keep 
Brookie  from  getting  bored.  Ellen  Hudgins 
Stephenson's  daughter,  Julia,  has  just  com- 
pleted her  first  year  at  Longwood,  and  Ellen 
writes  that  it  has  been  like  a  "sentimental 
journey"  for  her  every  time  she  has  gone  back 
— that  the  floots  even  squeak  in  the  same 
places!  Her  younger  two  are  busy  with  high 
school  doings;  husband,  Edgar,  stays  busy  wiih 
his  insurance  agency,  and  Ellen  stays  busy 
trying  to  coordinate  for  the  family!  Cather- 
ine Gosney  Moore  has  moved  to  Rock  Is- 
land, 111.,  where  the  family  is  living  in  hus- 
band's, Latry's  "bachelor"  apartment  until 
they  have  a  new  house  built  in  Davenport, 
Iowa.  They  are  looking  forward  to  moving 
into  their  new  home  which  will  keep  her 
busy  for  several  years.  Larry  is  quite  a  rifle 
champion,  and  in  August  they  will  go  to 
Ottawa,  Canada,  where  he  will  shoot  on  the 
U.  S.  team  in  the  Palma  Match.  We  all  te- 
member  Mrs.  McCoy,  mother  of  Elizabeth, 
who  was  in  the  Home  Dept.  of  Longwood. 
Word  from  Elizabeth  informs  us  that  her 
mother  died  in  April.  Mrs.  McCoy  broke 
her  hip  in  Jan.  and  was  hospitalized  until 
March.    We  all  share  your  sorrow,  Elizabeth.

Elizabeth  is  teaching  in  Monterey  Elementary 
School  and,  in  addition,  is  teaching  two 
handicapped  children  in  their  homes.  She 
finds  this  a  most  rewarding  work.  As  for 
me,  I  am  still  in  the  Gulf,  up  to  my  neck 
at  every  opportunity.  My  vacation  will  be  a 
trip  to  Maine  in  July.  It  was  grand  hearing 
from  those  of  you  who  wrote.  Just  wish 
more  of  you  had  written  though  so  that  we 
could   keep  in  touch  with  all  of  you.

Thank  you  so  much  for  your  wonderful 
letters. 

From  Glasgow,  Scotland,  comes  news  of 
Margaret  Pattie,  who  is  teaching  and  serves 
on  the  Western  District  Primary  Committee 
of  Educational  Institute  of  Scotland.  Last 
summer,  she  and  three  friends  rented  what 
had  been  a  shepherd's  cottage  near  Kyle  of 
Lochalsh  in  N.W.  Scotland.  "The  scenery 
there  is  really  beautiful  and  the  weather  was 
lovely."  This  summer  she  and  her  mother 
plan  to  spend  two  weeks  in  a  coastal  village 
in  S.W.  Scotland,  and  then  Margaret  and  a 
friend  will  go  to  Germany  for  three  weeks. 
She  likes  Germany  very  much  and  goes  there 
almost  every  year.  During  the  winter  she 
attends  classes  in  German;  this  makes  a  visit 
to   Germany   more   interesting   and   enjoyable. 

Mary  Ellen  Hoge  Sale  writes  from  Vir- 
ginia I3each  that  her  daughter,  Frances,  will 
graduate  from  Longwood  next  March.  Mada- 
line,  who  will  graduate  from  high  school  in 
June,  plans  to  be  married  August  30;  and 
Mary  Ellen  says  the  sewing  room  is  full  of 
materials  for  wedding  gown,  bridemaids' 
dresses,  etc.  Bill  will  be  a  sophomore  in 
high  school  next  fall.  Since  the  family  is 
scattering,  Mary  Ellen  and  her  husband,  Bill, 
plan  to  sell  their  home  and  move  into  some- 
thing smaller. 

Louisa  Dawson  Smucker,  of  Flint,  Mich., 
husband,  John,  Anne  and  Philip,  9  and  7, 
plan  to  attend  Camp  Alleghany  during  the 
June-July  session.  John  will  be  the  Chap- 
lain; Philip  and  Louisa,  "Jack-of-all-Trades"; 
and  Anne,  a  camper.  They  hope  to  see  Kitty 
Maddox  Thomas  whose  daughter  goes  there. 
John  is  no  longer  an  active  clergyman,  but 
has  a  position  with  a  United  Fund  agency' 
working  with  the  deaf. 

Page  Cook  Axson  and  family  moved  into 
their  new  home  in  Chesapeake,  just  before 
Christmas,  and  Page  is  delighted  to  be  set- 
tled once  more.  Kathy,  17,  is  a  cheerleader 
in  high  school  and  is  active  in  school  activi- 
ties. Peter  is  14  and  Elizabeth,  12.  One 
of  the  highlights  of  the  year  for  the  Axsons 
was  attending  the  inaugural  of  President  Wil- 
lett  at  Longwood.  Page  said  she  has  never 
been  more  proud  of  Longwood  and  its  young 
ladies.  In  an  ungraded  school,  which  opened 
in  1967,  she  teaches  Language  Arts  and  Hu- 
manities   to    two    different    groups    of    pupils. 

Mary  Anne  Loving  Arbo  writes  from  Hono- 
lulvi  that  she  has  been  on  the  move  the  past 


two  years  and  will  soon  move  again.  Last 
year  she  lived  in  Rome  while  Paul  was  in 
the  Mediterranean  with  his  Destroyer  Squad- 
ron. She  took  the  children  and  put  them 
in  school  there.  They  went  to  Honolulu 
last  June  when  Paul  was  ordered  to  Saigon 
for  a  one-year,  unaccompanied  tour  as  Sen- 
ior Advisor  to  the  Vietnamese  Navy.  He 
will  be  through  this  June,  and  they  will  re- 
turn to  Washington  for  duty  and  living  to- 
gether once  again.  Their  dau.ghter,  Mindy, 
graduates  from  high  school  this  year  and 
will  enter  Pembroke  College  (Woman's  Div. 
of  Brown  Univ.)  in  Sept.  Their  son.  Kit, 
who  is  16,  has  two  more  years  in  high  school. 

Nancy  Courier  Bradshaw's  daughter,  Betty, 
is  at  Averett,  in  Danville,  and  son,  Courter, 
is  in  college  in  Richmond.  Betty  plans  to 
transfer  to  Longwood  next  year.  "Mike" 
Shiflett  Toomes  writes  from  her  ranch  in 
Burns,  Col.,  that  her  sons  are  now  14,  12, 
and  11.  They  ride  40  miles,  one  way,  to 
school  each  day.  "Mike"  plans  to  fly  to  Va. 
in  June  to  attend  her  niece's  wedding.  She 
taught  five  pupils — the  first  four  grades — 
this  past  year.  She  and  her  family  drove  to 
Oak  Ridge,  Tenn.,  for  Christmas  in  1968 
and  got  caught  in  a  blizzard;  this  was  quite 
an  experience.  Ruby  Keeton,  who  lives  in 
Victoria,  is  fine. 

Virginia  Lee  Price  Perrow  of  River  Edge, 
N.  J.,  is  active  in  church  work.  Woman's 
Club,  and  P.T.A.  Joey  plans  to  enter  Muhl- 
enberg College  in  Allentown,  Pa.,  this  fall 
and  hopes  to  play  soccer  there.  Virginia  was 
in  Roanoke  twice  this  past  year  and  both 
times  had  lunch  with  Mary  Spradlin  and  Lois 
Lloyd  Sheppard  Lewis. 

Mary  Virginia  Walker  March  writes  that 
she  and  her  family  plan  to  move  to  their 
new  home,  located  about  one  mile  out  of 
Suffolk,  in  June.  She  sees  Margie  Heivlett 
Moore  several  times  a  week  and  Shirley  Cru- 
ser  White  whenever  she  goes  to  Norfolk. 
Margie's  oldest  daughter  finishes  high  school 
this  year.  Last  summer  Mary  Virginia  saw 
Minnie  Lee  Crumpler  Burger  who  looked  as 
if  she  had  just  stepped  out  of  a  fashion 
magazine. 

Virginia  Treakle  Marshburn  and  family 
moved  from  Hyattsville,  Md.,  to  Dillwyn 
when  Earl  accepted  the  pastorate  of  the  First 
Baptist  Church  there.  During  the  school 
year,  Virginia  taught  a  5/6  combination  at  the 
Buckingham  Elementary  School.  Sallie  was 
a  ninth  grader  during  this  term,  and  Marsha, 
a  fifth  grader.  Virginia  attended  Founders 
Day  at  Longwood  this  year  and  saw  many 
old  friends.  Ellen  Bailey  spent  the  weekend 
with    her,    and    they    had    a    marvelous    time 


catching  up  on  news  of  the  past  16  years. 
Ellen  is  a  Professor  of  Education  at  Bridge- 
water  College. 

Evelyn  Grizzard  Graybeal  writes  from 
Wilmington,  Del.,  that  she  joined  the  Junior 
Board  of  Memorial  Hospital  last  fall  as  a 
provisional  member  and  has  spent  many  hours 
since  Nov.,  1968,  working  there  as  a  volun- 
teer. Her  daughter,  Carolyn,  is  going  to 
Smith  College  in  Northampton,  Mass.,  in 
Sept.  David  will  be  a  senior  at  Friends 
School  this  fall.  He  is  going  to  England  and 
Scotland  this  summer  for  eight  weeks  on  a 
smdy  program  sponsored  by  Friends  School. 
Carolyn  spent  her  junior  year  as  an  exchange 
student  in  Berlin  and  really  enjoyed  and  ap- 
preciated Friends  School  during  her  senior 
year.  Evelyn  and  Rosa  Hill  Yonce  had  a 
nice  visit  last  summer  when  Rosa  and  her 
family  were  in  Wilmington.  Evelyn  says 
Rosa's   children  are  handsome. 

Julie  Messick  Hurt  of  Richmond  enjoyed 
some  substimte  teaching  this  past  year  at 
J.  B.  Fisher  Elementary  School.  She  said 
this  was  quite  a  challenge  since  her  "field" 
had  been  Medical  Technology.  This  past 
spring,  while  passing  through  Farmville,  she 
saw  Mr.  "Mac"  and  Mr.  Graham  and  en- 
joyed chatting  with  them. 

Jean  Anderson  Clayton  continues  teaching 
English  at  Smithfield  High  School.  Her  old- 
est daughter  is  a  junior  and  is  planning  to 
attend  Longwood.  She  will  be  a  representa- 
tive to  Girls  State  at  Radford  College  this 
summer  and  was  chosen  "Miss  Smithfield 
High  School"  at  the  beauty  pageant  this 
spring.  Jean's  other  daughter  is  a  freshman. 
Jean  has  joined  the  newly  organized  Alumnae 
Chapter  in  Isle  of  Wight  County  and  at- 
tended a  tea  for  prospective  Longwood  girls 
in   the   spring. 

Lois  Lloyd  Sheppard  Lewis  of  Salem  writes 
that  she  is  busier  than  ever  with  school  ac- 
tivities and  church  work.  She  is  also  Presi- 
dent of  Friendship  Garden  Club  this  year. 
David  will  be  a  10th  grader  at  Andrew 
Lewis  High  this  fall,  and  Betsy  Anne  will 
go  to  Salem  Intermediate  as  a  7th  grader. 
Lois  sees  Virginia  Price  Perrow  once  or  twice 
a  year.

Longwood's 
Department 
Of  Art 


Miss  Virginia  Bedford,  department  chairman,  teaches  crafts, 
ceramics,  and  enamels.  Here  she  presents  some  pottery  examples 
for  student  examination. 


For  the  second  time  in  its  history,  the  Longwood  De- 
partment of  Art  will  be  housed  under  one  roof  with  the 
completion  of  the  Fine  Arts  complex  in  1970.  Its  "one 
room"  beginning  (second  floor  Ruffner)  was  with  the 
appointment  of  Miss  Martha  CouUing  as  Instructor  of 
Drawing  in  1887.    Miss  Coulling  was  granted  a  leave  in

ists, works  with

teaches  design,  se-

1895  and  again  in  1903  to  instruct  at  Teachers  College  of 
Columbia  University.  She  returned  to  enlarge  the  art 
program  at  the  "Normal  School"  in  Farmville  to  include 
drawing,  design,  painting  and  History  of  Art. 

With  the  need  for  diversity,  the  program  was  expanded 
to  include  art  for  elementary  teachers  and  craft  courses 
in  1928  taught  by  Miss  Virginia  Bedford.  Expansion  of 
the  art  program  continued  under  Miss  CouUing  and  Miss 
Bedford  until  Miss  Coulling  retired  in  1942.  It  has  now 
grown  to  a  staff  of  eight,  a  full  program  for  second- 
ary majors  and  service  courses  for  all  curricula  of  the 
college.  Emphasis  has  always  been  toward  a  sound  training 
program  for  teachers  of  art  from  elementary  grades  through 
high  school  and  to  encourage  study  and  experiences  by  all 
students  in  the  phase  of  art  of  their  choice.  Added  per- 
sonnel with  specialized  training  and  experience  permit 
the  department  to  offer  a  year  or  more  of  concentrated 
study  and  studio  experiences  in  design,  drawing,  painting, 
graphics,  sculpture,  crafts.  History  of  Art  and  art  education. 
One  staff  member  serves  as  traveling  consultant  to  assist 
in  the  supervision  of  majors  in  student  teaching. 

A  continuous  exhibition  program  in  Lancaster  Gallery 
is  programmed  by  one  staff  member  with  help  from  all 
others,  affording  additional  visual  experiences  and  study 
for  all  college  students  and  staff.  The  Collegiate  Artmobile 
from  the  Virginia  Museum  of  Fine  Arts  visits  the  campus 
twice  annually,  a  special  bonus  for  all  of  the  college  com- 
munity. Frequent  teacher  and  student  excursions  are  made 
to  Washington,  D.  C.  galleries,  Virginia  Museum  of  Art, 
other    college    exhibitions,    and    small    private    galleries. 

A  unique  committee  exists  at  Longwood  (not  art  de-

partment  sponsored)  The  Committee  for  the  Purchase  of 
Work  by  Virginia  Artists.  I  mention  this  because  it  afifords 
an  annual  invitational  show  by  a  Virginia  artist  from  which 
a  purchase  is  made  as  a  permanent  college  possession. 
Mrs.  Janice  Lemen  of  the  art  staff  has  been  chairman  of  this 
committee  since  its  beginning.  These  works  of  art  are 
used  in  all  buildings  that  all  college  students  and  staff 


may  enjoy  them.  A  mosaic  mural  as  one  of  these  pur- 
chases will  be  installed  in  the  new  Fine  Arts  building  foyer. 
Continued  study  by  all  Longwood  staff  is  encouraged. 
Many  art  staff  members  have  studied  in  the  states  and 
three  have  studied  in  other  countries.  One  member  is 
now  completing  work  toward  a  Degree  in  Art  Education 
at  Teachers  College  of  Columbia  University.  Only  one 
staff  member  is  a  graduate  of  Longwood's  Art  Department. 
The  present  staff  include: 

Miss  Virginia  Bedford,  Prof  of  Art  and  Dept.  Chairman, 

appointed  1928 

Mrs.  Janice  Lemen,  Assoc.  Prof  of  Art,  appointed  1944 

Miss  Annie  Lee  Ross,  Assoc.  Prof,  of  Art,  appointed  1950 

Miss  Nancy  Leitch,  Assoc.  Prof  of  Art,  appointed  1961 

Miss  Barbara  Bishop,  Assoc.  Prof  of  Art,  appointed  1965 

Mr.  Walter  Hathaway,  Asst.  Prof  of  Art,  appointed  1966 

Mr.   Paul  Rouillard,  Instructor  of  Art,  appointed   1967 

Mr.  Homer  Springer,  Instructor  of  Art,  appointed  1969 

Let's  look  back  to  a  modest  beginning  in  1887  with  the 

idea  that  "all  young  ladies  should  have  an  opportunity 

to  be  involved  in  the  Arts"  as  a  part  of  undergraduate 

study  with   Miss   Martha   Coulling  as   instructor.      That 

beginning  grew  with  each  year  of  her  service  and  continues 

to  grow  with  vitalized  curricula,  added  enrollment,  added 

facilities  and  staff  to  a  recognition  of  art  as  the  necessary 

part  of  all  education.

ARTIST 


It  takes  many  long  painstaking  hours  to  create  an  impressionistic 
painting,  as  June  Elder  Reynolds,  '54  well  knows.  Sometimes  even 
the  family  cat  wants  to  know  how  things  are  coming  and  must 
be  held  up  for  a  closer  look.  June  and  her  family  live  in 
Bremerton,  Wash. 

AND 

DESIGNER 
WIN  ACCLAIM 

The  Atlanta  Chapter  of  Longwood  Alumnae  are  so 
proud  of  one  of  its  members,  Elizabeth  Tennent  Gilliam, 
Class  of  1944.  In  speaking  with  Liz's  husband  about 
her  work  and  contributions,  Mr.  Gilliam  very  proudly 
remarked,  "She  puts  her  whole  heart  into  it — she's  a 
perfectionist."  Coupled  with  this  sense  of  perfection, 
this  Longwood  Alumna  has  outstanding  skills  as  writer 
of  children's  literature  and  as  a  fashion  designer. 

Although  she  has  been  writing  for  some  time,  as  of 
now  she  has  notning  published  in  book  form,  but  her 
success  in  writing  is  obvious  by  the  demands  placed  upon 
her  by  civic  groups.  In  1967,  Liz  wrote  "The  Story  of  the 
Nutcracker"  for  the  Christmas  presentation  by  the  Atlanta 
Civic  Ballet.  This  piece  rated  much  newspaper  publicity 
for  the  civic  group  and  greater  enjoyment  for  Atlanta's 
youth  who  learned  the  story  of  the  nutcracker.  Most 
commendable  was  Liz's  ability  to  publicize  the  con- 
tributions of  every  participant  in  the  production  of  The 
Nutcracker  Suite — from  backstage  hand  to  main  characters. 
Her  creativity  and  flair  for  writing  have  made  her  in- 
dispensable to  other  civic  groups  needing  just  "the  right 
public  relations"  person.  She  served  as  publicity  director 
for  the  Atlanta  Opera  of  the  Atlanta  Municipal  Theater 
and  was  responsible  for  the  public  relations  work  for  this 
year's  Atlanta  International  Film  Festival. 


Painting  is  a  rewarding  and  productive  hobby  for  a  Navy  wife. 
Long  absences  by  sea-going  husbands  create  many  lonely  hours. 
June  Elder  Reynolds,  '54  has  sold  over  thirty  paintings  and  has 
high  hopes  for  further  sales  as  a  result  of  her  one-man  show. 


Despite  the  apparent  pleasure  and  sweet  success  she 
tasted  from  the  publicity  work,  Liz's  real  love  is  fashion 
designing  of  the  high  fashion  children's  clothing  type.  As 
a  housewife  this  talent  certainly  paid  off,  as  she  designed 
and  made  her  own  children's  clothing.  So  "in"  and  "high 
fashion"  were  the  styles,  designs,  and  fabric  selections  that 
she  was  given  display  area  in  one  of  Atlanta's  exclusive 
clothing  shops.  She  could  meet  only  a  limited  number 
of  the  orders  received  due  to  the  items  being  handmade. 

The  Atlanta  Journal  gave  her  full-page  special  feature 
coverage  for  the  excellence  of  her  work  and  originality. 
Very  soon  thereafter  Liz  and  her  children  appeared  on  the 
Don  Barber  daytime  television  variety  show,  where  again 
she  presented  her  designs  and  had  her  daughter  and  son 
model  special  selections.  The  intelligence  and  creativity 
displayed  attracted  widespread  attention  here  and  she  was 
made  an  elaborate  business  offer  in  fashion  designing, 
production,  and  marketing.  At  this  time  Liz  has  not 
proceeded  with  the  business  world  opportunity,  but  she 
has  definitely  proven  to  us  that  she  is  a  distinguished 
alumna. 

Her  husband,  an  Aetna  Life  Insurance  Company  agent, 
and  Eliza  and  Archer  know  she's  distinguished  because 
she's  his  wife  and  their  mother.

Ed  enjoyed  seeing  Virginia  Price  Perrow. 
Nancy's  son,  Randy,  will  be  a  freshman  at 
V.P.I.  this  fall. 

I  received  a  telephone  call  from  Madie 
Hunter  Armstrong,  who  lives  in  Richmond. 
She  will  attend  Virginia  Commonwealth 
Univ.  this  summer  in  order  to  upgrade  her 
Certificate.  She  plans  to  go  into  special  edu- 
cation and  work  with  children  who  have  spe- 
cific learning  disabilities.  Madie  has  a  son 
v.'ho  will  enter  the  U.  of  Va.   this   fall. 

I  am  sure  Frances  Lee  Stoneburner  is  quite 
busy  these  days,  as  "Mopsy"  is  getting  mar- 
ried in  June.  Carl  and  I  are  so  disappointed 
that  we  shall  be  unable  to  attend.  His 
mother  and  father  are  celebrating  their  golden 
wedding  anniversary  on   the  same  day. 

Carl  saw  Lillian  Elliott  Bondurant's  son. 
Tommy,  the  other  day;  and  Tommy  will  be 
a  counselor  at  Camp  Virginia  in  Goshen 
this  summer.  He  will  be  a  Jr.  at  U.  of  Rich- 
mond this  fall.  Carl  and  I  are  looking  for- 
ward to  spending  a  week  with  Poaguey  Mas- 
sey  Ellis  ('45x)  and  her  family  at  Nags  Head 
in  August. 

Thanks  again  for  your  letters.  Looking 
forward  to  hearing  from  you  next  year.

It  was  so  much  fun  receiving  your  in- 
teresting letters.  I  haven't  looked  forward, 
so  eagerly,  to  the  coming  of  the  mail  since 
our  freshman  year  and  "Maudie  K."  "Will 
you  ever  forget  how  terrified  we  were  of  her? 

Jane  Burchett  Womack,  who  still  lives  in 
Suffolk,  wrote  that  she  was  in  the  process 
of  getting  daughter,  Betty,  11,  and  son.  Clay, 
10,  ready  for  a  trip  to  Tallahassee,  Fla.,  to 
see  twin  sister  Bett>'  Burchett  Almarode,  who 
has  a  daughter  Jane,  14,  and  a  son  Ricky, 
12.  Jane  says  her  children  will  be  busy  this 
summer  with  tennis  and  swimming  and  tour- 
naments in  both  sports.  Jane's  husband  is 
a  Trust  Officer  with  the  United  Virginia  Bank 
and  is  a  Col.  in  the  Army  Reserve.  Betty's 
husband  still  travels  to  exciting  places  like 
New  Orleans,  Canada,  and  Hawaii;  some- 
times Betty  goes  along,  too.  I  would  love 
to  see  those  two  again  and  enjoy  a  few  good 
laughs  with   them.    Wouldn't  you? 

Marian  Gunn  Varn  writes  that  she  mar- 
ried a  Petersburg  boy  in  '48,  Bill  Varn,  and 
they  have  three  children:  a  daughter  19,  at 
the  U.  of  Fla.,  and  a  boy  in  high  school, 
and  another  in  Jr.  High.  She  sees  her  room- 
mate, Lottie  Hammock,  who  lives  nearby  and 
also  "Charlie  Hop"  who  meets  with  a  group 
of  alumnae  for  lunch. 

Jackie  Seymore  Carter  and  her  husband  are 
both  in  education  in  Hampton.  Jackie  is  a 
certified  librarian  and  her  husband,  a  prin- 
cipal. Their  daughter.  Gale,  has  another  year 
in  Junior  High.  Mildred  ]onet  Griffith  was 
Elementary  Supervisor  in  Richmond  and  in 
Westmoreland  County  School  Division  for 
9    years,    after    graduating    from    Longwood. 


(Please  note  I  didn't  say  STC;  That  dates 
you!)  In  1957  she  resigned  to  be  at  home 
with  a  sick  husband.  They  are  living  in 
Kinsale,  Va.,  Rt.   1. 

"Peepsie"  Brooks  Howard  and  Johnny  still 
live  in  Alexandria  where  he  is  Vice-President 
of  the  United  Virginia  First  and  Citizens 
National  Bank.  They  have  a  16-year-old  son, 
John,  who  was  "the  tow"  for  his  football 
team  last  fall,  and  a  thirteen-year  old.  Bill, 
who  played  in  the  Va.  State  Junior  Golf 
Championship  last  summer.  As  you  can  judge, 
Peepsie  and  Johnny  spend  a  good  deal  of 
time  among  the  spectators.  Now  for  some 
real  exciting  news!  "Hoot,"  Nancy  Cham- 
bers Lair  was  married  last  year  to  a  Ph.D. 
from  Indiana  Univ.  They  spent  this  last 
year  in  Europe  where  John  did  some  re- 
search in  Scandinavia,  and  "Hoot"  visited 
book  dealers  in  Northern  Europe  and  Eng- 
land.   Best  wishes  to  you  both! 

Mary  Lu  Graham  Page  and  Jim  have  four 
daughters  of  whom  they  are  justly  proud. 
Ellen,  20,  is  a  junior,  majoring  in  ballet  at 
Tex.;  Lucile,  18,  graduated  from  Stuart  Hall 
this  spring  and  will  go  to  Sophie  Newcomb 
in  New  Orleans  in  the  fall  Jane,  14,  is  in 
the  Jr.  Honor  Society,  takes  piano  and  danc- 
ing, and  sings  in  the  school  glee  club  and 
church  choir.  Then  Sarah,  9,  is  an  "A" 
student  taking  piano  and  dancing  lessons. 
They  live  in  Mt.  Hope,  W.  Va.,  where  Jim 
is  Vice-Pres.  of  the  New  River  Co.  and  Wind- 
ing Gulf  Co. 

Catherine  Bickle  Hankla  and  husband  run 
a  fabric  shop  in  Staunton  and  have  two  little 
girls.  Catty,  5,  and  Staley,  2.  Hope  Frank 
sounds  as  though  she  lives  the  "life  of  Riley!" 
She  has  built  herself  a  new  house  in  Cleve- 
land, Tenn.  From  the  sound  of  things,  she 
has  traveled  up  and  down  the  east  coast  from 
one  end  to  the  other.  Her  title  is  Direaor 
of  Home  Economics  and  Consumer  Rela- 
tions. 

Harriet  Purcell  Garnett  is  teaching  Home 
Economics  in  the  same  school  in  which  her 
husband,  Lee,  is  Guidance  Director.  They 
have  two  boys.  Ross,  Jr.,  a  junior  in  high 
school,  and  Lee,  a  pre-freshman.  They  en- 
joy their  summer  vacations  at  Myrtle  Beach. 
Our  hearts  go  out  to  Martha  Anderson  Roll- 
ings who  lost  her  husband  in  Feb.  She  is 
teaching  English  and  Spanish  at  Waveily 
High  School.  She  received  her  Master's  de- 
gree from  William  and  Mary  in  '67.  Con- 
gratulations, Martha!  Her  daughter,  Faye. 
is  in  the  10th  grade  at  Surry  Academy,  and 
their   address   is  Dendron. 

Millie  McW'iUiams  Hayes  and  William  live 
in  Newport  News,  and  she  has  taken  up  the 
interesting  hobby  of  archeology.  She  has 
been  digging  at  an  ISth  century  site  and  has 
turned  up  some  buttons,  clay  pipes,  dishes, 
etc.  No  hidden  treasures  yet!  They  have 
two  children,  Paige  and   Clairborne. 

Katherine  Whitmore  Wray  lives  in  Mc- 
Kenney  where  her  husband  Mac  works  with 
the  button  factory.  Nancy  Voscue  Hamner  is 
still  as  cute  and  vivacious  as  ever.  Doug, 
her  husband,  has  a  big  title  job  in  the  Gov- 
ernor's office.  He  is  direcror  of  the  adminis- 
tration of  the  capital  outlay  budget  for  the 
Governor.  He  says  the  salary  is  not  so 
"lengthy"  as  the  title! 

I  see  Joyce  Hill  Goodloe  often  since  we 
live  near  each  other,  go  to  the  same  church, 
and  have  children  the  same  ages,  and  are 
good  friends.  Our  husbands  have  been  best 
friends  all  their  lives;  so  that  makes  it 
nice,  too.    Jack,  her  husband,  has  done  well 


in  the  insurance  world  and  is  now  Senior 
Warden  of  St.  John's  Episcopal  Church.  They 
have  four  most  attractive  children.  This  spring, 
they  had  a  grand  trip  to  an  Insurance  con- 
vention  in   Puerto   Rico. 

I  saw  Elizabeth  Jeffreys  Hubard  and  Wil- 
liam at  a  W.  &  L.  Alumni  Dance,  and  they 
are  both  just  fine.  William  is  the  new  Gen- 
eral Counsel  of  the  Shenandoah  Life  In- 
surance Co.  They  have  four  little  "tow  heads" 
who  were  all  beautiful  the  last  time  I  saw 
them   in  Roanoke. 

I  was  so  pleasantly  surprised  and  pleased 
to  run  into  Anne  Homes  Brussells  at  a  bridge 
party.  She  is  as  pretty  and  young  as  ever 
and  is  really  enjoying  the  role  of  wife  and 
mother.  She  lives  in  Richmond.  I  might 
add,  she  plays  a  good  game  of  bridge,  too. 

Someone  else  I've  enjoyed  seeing  fairly 
frequently  is  Norma  Soyars  Watkins,  and 
her  husband,  Billy.  They  live  in  Farmville 
where  Billy  is  Commonwealth's  Attorney. 
They  are  so  wonderful  to  us  when  we  go 
up  to  Hampden-Sydney  Homecomings  and 
functions  at  Longwood. 

Frankie  Bell  Pritchett  and  family  of  Peters- 
burg enjoy  their  cottage  on  the  James  River 
in  the  summer.  Daughter  Alice  is  a  Jr.  at 
R-MWC.  Irving,  111  is  a  freshman  at  Hamp- 
den-Sydney, and  son  Lanford  is  a  Sr.  at 
Petersburg  High.  All  three  children  are  out- 
standing. 

My  Ernest  is  Circuit  Court  Judge  in  Ches- 
terfield. During  the  annexation  trial  with 
Richmond  he  has  been  assigned  to  the  courts 
of  Bath,  Botetourt,  Craig,  Clifton  Forge,  and 
Covington.  I'm  going  with  him  for  a  week 
while  my  mother  and  daddy  take  care  of 
our  six  children,  ranging  from  4  to  16.  I 
plan  to  visit  with  some  old  S.T.C.  oops!  I 
mean  Longwood  ftiends — Betty  Stoner  Holt 
whose  husband  is  Clerk  of  the  Court  in 
Botetourt  at  Fincastle  and  Polly  Caldwell 
('49)  DriscoU  in  Covington  and  with  any- 
body else  I  can  scrape  up.  I  have  a  sister 
in  Eagle  Rock,  too,  so  I'm  really  looking 
forward   to  the  trip. 

Thanks  for  your  grand   letters.

Dear  Friends, 

Did  you  ever  think  it  would  come??  Our 
20th  reunion!  Seems  to  me  we  used  to  do 
a  little  laughing  about  all  the  old  timers  whom 
we  thought  were  "original  founders!"  Well, 
I  just  hope  we'll  all  be  right  there  together 
in  Farmville  for  this  momentous  occasion  this 
spring.  Cab  Overhey  Goodman  wrote  to  re- 
mind all  to  get  their  wheelchairs  oiled,  crutches

Greetings,  Classmates  of  1951!  Another 
year  has  gone  by.  It's  hard  to  believe;  but  I 
fear  that  age  is  catching  up  with  us,  judging 
by  the  way  time  seems  to  fly.  Anyway,  it's 
always  good  to  hear  from  classmates,  and 
I'll  pass  on  to  you  what  news  I  have. 

Mary  Crowder  White  wrote  that  she  has 
given  up  everything  except  trying  to  be  an 
authority  on  teaching  5th  grade.  Mary  at- 
tended the  VEA  convention  in  the  fall  and 
was  disappointed  not  to  see  anyone  from  our 
class  there.  Helen  Agnew  Koonce  wrote  that 
her  family  had  been  busy  with  the  usual 
family  things.  Helen  says  she  and  Arnold  are 
trying  to  survive  the  teen-age  syndrome  and 
a    three-year-old    at    the    same    time.     Guess 


many  of  us  feel  like  saying  "you  have  our 
sympathy." 

Frances  Everett  Brown  wrote  me  a  note 
with  interesting  news.  Frances  and  her  hus- 
band, Web,  and  the  children,  along  with 
Jean  Anderson  Smith  '50  and  her  family, 
spent  a  week  at  Sandbridge  Beach.  They 
visited  with  Catherine  Stevens  Chalk  and 
Betty  Baker  Rhyne  in  Norfolk.  Catherine  has 
a  lovely  home  and  plans  to  build  another  on 
the  water.  She  teaches  English  at  Norview 
High  and  looks  great.  Betty  has  two  daugh- 
ters, 13  and  12,  and  teaches  Spanish  at 
Churchland  High  in  Portsmouth.  She  went 
to  Mexico  Ciry  in  August  to  attend  a  wotk- 
shop  in  Spanish.  Fran  also  heard  from  Dot 
Dunford  who  said  she  is  smdying  this  sum- 
mer to  prepare  for  a  humanities  program  to 
be  offered  at  her  school  in  Chesterfield  this 
coming  year.  She  worked  on  the  Fund  Ap- 
peal, also.  Shirley  Bloxton  wrote  Dot  that 
she  has  a  new  job,  starting  this  July  (1969), 
as  assistant  principal  for  curriculum  and  in- 
struction at  Norview  High  in  Norfolk. 

I  was  so  delighted  to  receive  a  card  with 
a  note  from  Virginia  Westbrook  Kobeckis. 
Westbrook  was  remarried  in  May  (1968) 
and  is  so  very  happy.  Know  we  all  join  in 
best  wishes  to  both  of  them.  Jean  Carter 
Watkins  Saunders  wrote  that  she  and  her 
family  had  a  grand  sightseeing  trip  to  Fla. 
the  summer  of  1968.  Enjoyed  hearing  from 
Betty  McRee  Hodges.  She  and  Ralph  have 
children  ranging  from  15  years  to  10-months 
old.  She  said  the  baby  has  been  spoiled  by 
the  other  children. 

Had  cards  from  Fran  Minter  Whyte,  Iris 
Sutphin  Wall,  and  Ann  Kemp  DesPortes. 
No  special  news,  but  it's  always  good  to  hear 
from  them.  Fran,  Bob,  Laurie,  and  Robbie 
are  living  in  Wilmington,  Del.;  Iris,  Bill, 
Steve,  and  Bid  live  in  FarmviUe,  and  Ann 
and  Bill-Bill  are  living  in  Sarasota,  Fla. 

Hope  that  all  of  you  will  start  thinking 
positively  of  our  next  reunion  in  1972. 
Some  of  us  were  disappointed  last  time  not 
only  in  the  number  that  came,  but  what  days 
we  were  going  to  be  there  and  the  faa  that 
we  really  had  no  special  place  for  our  class 
to  meet  and  talk.  Before  the  next  one,  let's 
really  do  some  advance  planning  and  cor- 
responding to  see  whether  all  of  us  can't 
be  there  for  the  same  night.  We  could  get 
a  special  place  where  we  could  have  a  real 
1951  class  reunion. 

The  past  year  has  been  good  to  my  family. 
We  are  all  well  and  enjoy  an  occasional  trip 
for  a  medical  meeting  or  to  Suffolk  or  to 
Roy's  home  in  Michigan.  Can  hardly  believe 
that  in  Sept.  our  youngest  will  be  going  into 
the  6th  grade. 

You  know  my  usual  request — let  me  hear 
from  each  of  you  so  that  I  may  pass  on  to 
other  class  members  the  news  of  what  you 
are  doing.  Have  a  Happy  Christmas  and 
New  Year!

Kanner  and  family,  of  Madison,  Wis.,  with 
friends  spent  Christmas  on  an  80-ft.  sailing 
vessel  in  and  around  Nassau.  The  crew  in- 
cluded 2  native  Britishers;  "Charlie,  the 
cook";  and  Capt.  Roberts  to  steer.  A  high- 
light of  the  trip  was  time  spent  mousing 
around  on  rugged  coral,  searching  for  dif- 
ferent species  of  snails.  During  spring  vaca- 
tion they  flew  to  Miami  and  then  to  a  cot- 
tage at  Sugar  Loaf  Key.  Shrimp  boats,  peli- 
cans, Everglades  National  Park  and  the  Na- 
ture Trail  occupied  her  family's  time,  hus- 
band Al;  Sue,  10;  Jim,  9;  Steven,  7;  and 
Jefif,  4.  A  small  sailboat,  a  bat.  canoe,  swim- 
ming team.  Little  League,  piano  and  violin 
lessons  keep  everyone  busy  other  times.  She 
is  planning  to  attend  out  20th  reunion  in 
72.    How  about  the  rest  of  you? 

Betty  Barnes  Lampert  teaches  kindergarten 
in  Norfolk.  Her  girls,  Paula,  14,  and  Patty, 
12,  are  active  in  Job's  Daughters  and  at- 
tended the  Grand  meeting  in  Hampton  last 
June.  Their  son,  Ralph,  8,  went  to  a  Basket- 
ball Camp  in  South  Hill.  They  enjoy  boat- 
ing and  fishing  in  the  Chesapeake  Bay  and 
are  proud  owners  of  a  smart  little  dog, 
"Charlie  Brown",  who  sings  "Hot  Cross 
Buns"  and  plays  on  the  toy  piano!  May 
Henry  Sadler  Midgett  writes  that  Frances 
Turner  'Widgeon  and  Johnny  paid  them  a 
surprise  visit  during  the  winter.  "B.B."  Wil- 
son Thompson's  husband  Bill  was  assigned 
to  the  Staff  College  in  Norfolk  part  of  last 
year;  so  May  Henry  and  "B.B."  practically 
lived  together.  Bill  is  stationed  in  Korea 
now;  "B.B."  and  children,  Billy,  10,  and 
Beth,  12,  are  staying  with  "B.B."'s  mother 
in  FarmviUe.  A  year  ago  Anne  Moseley 
Akers.  May  Henry,  Frances  Thomas  Pairet, 
and  I  met  together  at  Alumnae  Fall  Council. 
Peggy  Harris  Ames  continues  to  teach  6th 
grade  in  Norfolk  and  is  active  in  Norfolk 
Alumnae  work. 

Romine  Mahood  Overbey  and  Bill  live  in 
Berryville  where  Romine  is  a  librarian  and 
Bill  is  director  of  instruction  in  Clarke 
County.  Their  daughter,  Susan,  is  adoreable 
and  a  freshman  in  high  school.  Shirley  Live- 
say  Armstrong  and  Phil  live  in  Springfield 
where  Phil  is  a  counselor  in  the  Fairfax 
School  System.  Shirley  stays  close  to  home, 
except  for  enjoying  swimming.  They  have 
six  children:  Mark,  7,  Barbara,  6,  Teresa,  4, 
Paul,  3,  Peter,  2,  Patricia  Anne,  6  months, 
also  2  dachshunds.  Shirley  is  surely  the 
busiest  of  us  all.  Betty  Scott  Borkey  Banks 
has  been  busy  as  a  P.T.A.  President  and  is 
now  on  the  Greensboro  Council  of  Garden 
Clubs.  She  and  family  enjoyed  some  camp- 
ing last  summer.  Chincoteague  High  School 
claims  Sue  Nelson  Matthews  as  one  of  her 
finest  teachers.  Lisa,  15,  and  Eddie,  11,  keep 
her  and  Ed  busy  with  Glee  Club,  Little 
League,  cheerleading,  and  mostly  chauffeuring. 
They  took  a  New  England  vacation  last 
summer. 

Elizabeth  Rush  Stumps  leads  an  eventful 
and  ser\'iceable  life.  She  received  her  M.A. 
in  history  from  Longwood  in  June  and  was 
awarded  a  fellowship  in  the  Humanities  to 
attend  the  U.  of  'Va.  last  summer.  She  is 
active  in  the  'VEA  and  a  member  of  the  ex- 
ecutive board  of  the  Geography  Dept.  in 
Chase  City.  Her  family,  husband  and  four 
girls,  ages  8  to  18,  are  quite  proud  of  her. 
Carrie  B.  Fitzgerald  built  a  house  in  Buck- 
ingham in  195.T,  retired  from  teaching  in 
1962,  but  entered  a  busier  career  of  knitting, 
crocheting,  sewing,  and  doing  numerous  other 
things.  She  had  a  back  injury  in  196?  but, 
with  a  back  brace,  has  resumed  a  normal  life. 
That's   what   I   call    real    spunk.     Good    luck. 


Carrie!  Shirley  Grogan  Duncan  writes  that 
the  Danville  crowd  get  together  often:  Lucy 
Jane  Perkinson  Angle  and  Millie  Bright  Hat- 
cher. Shirley  teaches  the  6th  grade  and  keeps 
busy  with  daughter  Robin's  aaivities,  hus- 
band Fred's  schooling  at  the  Danville  Com- 
munity College,  and  the  Garden  Club.  She 
received  the  honor  last  year  of  being  initiated 
into  Delta  Kappa  Gamma.  Her  family  spent 
a  fun  summer  of  camping.

Balloue  de  Hart.  She  served  as  President  of

they  had  hundreds  of  visitors  on  theit  nature 
ttail  which  has  about  250  species  of  plants 
and  a  small  lake.  She  and  Allen  took  off  to 
the  Barter  Theatre  and  did  sightseeing  in  the 
Boone-Linville  area  of  N.  C.  They  also  en- 
joy a  beach  cottage  at  Surf  Ciry,  N.  C.  Flora 
attended  a  conference  at  Merrymount  Col- 
lege in  Alexandria  in  August,  sponsored  by 
the  Regional  Educational  Laboratory'.  She  is 
now  teaching  2  experimental  sections  in  Eng- 
lish. I  enjoyed  seeing  Flora  at  Dr.  "Willett's 
inaugural  last  fall  when  she  represented  Louis- 
burg College  in  the  academic  processional. 
Ran  into  Ann  Harding  Hodges  and  oldest

ademically, and  with  building  expansion  and 
a  wonderful  student  body.  Please  plan  a 
trip  to  Longwood  soon.  Charlie  and  I  spent

Missed  you  at  the  reunion!  I'm  sorry  to 
say  that  not  too  many  of  us  made  it;  guess 
it  was  just  a  busy  year  for  everybody.  Maybe 
next  one — our   twentieth? 

Patty  Derring  Coleman  was  one  of  those 
busy  ones.  Twin  boys  born  last  Sept.  brought 
her  total  up  to  four,  two  of  them  girls.  They 
moved  into  a  new  house  also,  just  a  few 
days  before  Christmas.  Betty  Islin  Saffeile 
has  enjoyed  visits  ftom  L.  C.  girls  on  their 
way  to  see  "Six  Flags  Over  Georgia",  Betty's 
home  being  on  the  way.  Claire  Kreievbaum 
Hannan  and  family  were  there,  and  Mary 
Denny  Wilson  Parr,  'Wilton,  and  boys  came 
over  from  Charlotte  to  join  them.  Lots  of 
"Do  you  remember?"  Betty  said. 

Pat  Altwegg  Brown  has  been  in  town  sev- 
eral times  for  special  board  meetings  at  the 
college.  She  sent  a  darling  color  piaure  of 
her  four  children.  Betty  Lou  Garrett  Atwood 
and  family  left  in  Feb.  for  Spain,  where  they 
will  remain  for  three  years  while  Earl  is  sta- 
tioned there.  Ann  Thomas  'Wicke  sent  her 
usual  nice  news  letter,  with  each  member  of 
the  family  contributing.  They  all  seem  to 
love  camping  and  look  for  any  excuse  to 
hitch  up  the  trailer.  Ann  wrote  a  cute  note 
to  be  read  at  the  reunion.  She  and  family 
just  recently  moved  to  Delawate.  She  is  in- 
terested in  compiling  a  list  of  addresses  of 
the  class. 

Virginia  Sutherland  Knott  is  now  at  home, 
not  in  the  classroom,  as  she  has  added  her 
fourth  little  one  to  the  family.  Happy  Home 
to  Else  Wente  Bunch,  who,  with  her  family, 
moved  into  a  new  home  of  their  own  in 
Knoxville,  Tenn.  It  is  clear  that  Sylvia 
Reames  Picardat's  talented  husband.  Bob,  is 
going  to  have  to  move  over  and  share  his 
laurels.  Son,  Scott,  was  the  artist  for  their 
Christmas  card  this  year;  and  it  most  cer- 
tainly  says,    "Move   over.   Dad!" 

In  our  family,  Kip  added  golf  to  his  sports 
agenda,  and  Lisa  made  the  All  Stars  in  her 
Softball  league.  My  station  wagon  express 
could  find  the  ball  parks  and  golf  course 
with  no  driver! 

The  best  to  you  all!  Let  me  hear  from  you.

What  an  exciting  time  to  be  living!  So 
many  new  and  wonderful  things  are  happen- 
ing in  our  world  today  with  space  explora- 
tion, medical  advancements,  etc.,  that  the 
changes  are  breathtaking.  Thank  you  so  much 
for  taking  the  time  to  write  me.  From  Joyce 
Pomeroy  Hamer  comes  the  news  that  she  has 
retired  temporarily  to  join  the  list  of  new 
mothers.  Her  son  is  now  a  year  old.  They 
were  planning  to  attend  a  United  Methodist 
Conference  in  Norfolk  last  summer,  and  she 
hoped  to  see  Louise  Minson  while  there. 
The  were  also  planning  a  trip  to  Ohio  to 
visit  relatives  in  August  after  Marshall  finished 
teaching  in  the  summer  session  at  Randolph 
Macon  Academy  in  Front  Royal.  Karen  Spen- 
cer Westbrook  is  surrounded! — by  boys: 
Steve,  age  1;  Mark,  age  2;  Spencer,  7;  and 
Tom  16.  She  is  teaching  choral  music  at 
Fairfield  Jr.  High  in  Henrico  County  where 
her  husband,  Pete,  is  band  director.  Also 
from  Richmond,  Ernestine  Johnson  Delaney 
wrote  that  she  had  been  doing  some  part 
time  work  while  her  daughter,  Kim,  was  in 
sixth  grade.  A  second  letter  came  after  she 
had  moved  to  Charlotte,  N.  C,  saying  that 
she  was  getting  organized  in  her  new  home. 
She  did  get  to  the  Alumnae  Picnic  in  Rich- 
mond before  leaving.  Jean  Carol  Parker  Har- 
rcll,  Jackie  White  Twyman,  and  Shirley  Ward 
Patteson  are  all  officers  in  the  Chapter.  Sounds 
like  a  Class  of  '55  Reunion  to  me! 

Also  in  Richmond,  Barbara  Moore  Curling 
is  now  an  elementary  school  librarian  and, 
in  addition,  has  been  able  to  take  some  night 
graduate  courses  through  the  U.  of  Va.  ex- 
tension. Otis  is  still  with  the  C  &  P  Tele- 
phone Company,  and  he  and  Barbara  keep 
busy  with  their  church  responsibilities,  PTA's, 
and  civic  associations.  Cynthia  is  now  a 
ninth  grader  and  continues  with  piano  les- 
sons, choir,  and  the  usual  activities  of  a 
teenager.  Del,  in  sixth  grade,  has  become 
a   violinist.     The   whole   family   joins   him   on 


the  roller  skating  rink  as  well  as  ice  skating 
in  season.  He  and  his  dad  find  time  also  to 
fish  on  the  Chesapeake  Bay.  Kevin  adds  to 
the  family's  band  by  playing  the  flute;  so 
Barbara  says  that  with  a  bird  and  two  guinea 
pigs  they  must  have  the  noisiest  household 
in  town!  Sounds  like  fun!  Helen  Waitman 
Wheeler  now  in  Richmond  with  her  two 
sons,  David  and  Danny,  and  two  daughters, 
Donna  and  Diane,  wrote  that  she  managed 
to  get  together  with  Jackie  White  Twyman, 
Jean  Carol  Parker  Harrell,  and  Ann  Carter 
Wendenherg  Silver  once  in  a  while  for  a 
visit.  ("Vou  see  what  they  do  with  their 
time  instead  of  writing  ine  this  year! ) 
Helen  has  seen  Buzzie  Hartis  Hall  who  now 
lives  in  Washington,  D  C.  We  would  lik'- 
to   have  Buzzie's  address. 

I  received  several  very  interest  clippings 
from  the  "Richmond-Times  Dispatch"  about 
the  Barksdale  Theater  at  Hanover  Tavern  in 
Hanover.  This  is  a  dinner  theater  of  which 
Nancy  Tanley  Kilgore's  husband  is  co-owner. 
As  you  might  guess,  Nancy  is  one  of  their 
star  performers  in  addition  to  keeping  up 
with  four  children.  Productions  run  Wednes- 
day through  Saturday  nights  each  week  dur- 
ing the  summer.  A  new  baby  was  added  to 
Nell  Crocker  Owen's  family  in  Carrolltown 
last  year;  a  little  girl  to  play  with  5-year, 
old  Susan.  Nell  is  serving  as  President  of 
the  Isle  of  Wight  County  Alumnae  Chapter 
this  year.  Also  joining  the  diaper  changers 
is  Nancy  Nelson  Diggs.  A  lovely  little  girl 
was  added  to  her  family  of  boys;  Nelson, 
age  9,  and  Spencer,  4.  They  have  moved 
into   a   new   house   there   in   Norfolk. 

Still  teaching  Home  Economics  at  Prince 
Edward  Academy,  Carolyn  Watson  Ycatrs 
says  her  daughters  are  growing  up — now  10 
and  11.  They  are  fortunate  in  being  able 
to  keep  current  with  the  activities  at  Long- 
wood,  attending  the  Longwood  Players'  pro- 
ductions, etc.  She  writes  that  the  Campus 
space  has  doubled,  the  book  store  has  so 
much  room  a  person  can  brouse  around, 
and  the  library  is  so  much  larger  with  many 
reading  centers,  big  planters,  and  so  on.  Re- 
member, our  FIFTEENTH  REUNION  is 
coming  up  in  March  1970.  SO  PLAN  NOW 
to  go  and  see  the   changes   for  yourself! 

Clare  Davis  Wallace  leads  a  full  life  these 
days,  keeping  house  for  three  lively  boys 
and  husband  as  well  as  doing  the  secretarial 
duties  for  Irving,  who  is  in  business  for 
himself  in  Lynchburg.  Nancy  Taylor,  who 
lives  at  Virginia  Beach,  visited  Audrey  Powell 


Judy,  Melvin,  Richard,  Eloise  and  Jan,  family  of  Eloise  Macon,  '55. 


L.  to  R  ;  Casey  and  Ann  Hyatt,  children  of 
Mary  Hundley  Hyatt,  Beth  Edwards  and  at  her 
back  Chip,  children  of  Betty  Davis  Edwards; 
and  Hunt  Willson,  son  of  Jane  Bailey  Willson, 
all  of  the  class  of,  '55. 

Pittard  in  Halifax  some  time  ago.  Isn't  it 
fun  to  try  to  get  caught  up  on  everything 
that  has  happened.'  Audrey  has  two  sons: 
Ed,  8,  and  Tom,  5.  Johnny  is  no  longer 
keeping  store,  but  has  gone  with  Burlington 
Industries  there.  Audrey  is  busy  with  house- 
keeping duties  plus  some  church  activities, 
choir,  and  civic  work.  Their  big  house 
project  this  past  year  has  been  to  transform 
a  basement  into  a  recreation  room.  Wilma 
Salmon  Robinson  is  part-time  teaching  now 
that  her  baby  is  in  school.  She  has  also 
been  taking  one  graduate  course  each  se- 
mester. She  and  her  family  are  still  living 
in  Norfolk. 

From  Danville,  Judy  Cable  Funk  writes 
that  she  keeps  on  the  go  with  housekeeping 
and  part-time  work  as  Parish  Secretary.  Her 
son,  William,  is  15  and  an  avid  golfer  in 
addition  to  participating  in  many  high  school 
activities,  such  as  public  speaking.  Judy  and 
Bill  were  planning  a  trip  to  the  Bahamas 
last  spring.  Bill  has  been  coaching  a  Babe 
Ruth  Baseball  team  and  was  also  involved 
in  organizing  a  Knights  of  Columbus  Chap- 
ter there  in  Danville.  He  was  given  the 
honor  of  "Man  of  the  Day"  last  fall,  being 
nominated  by  the  men  who  work  with  him. 
Judy  writes  that  Dot  Vaden  Oglesby  also 
lives   there  and   is  still   teaching. 

The  Adams  Family  is  now  a  family  of  6. 
Donald  is  a  year  old  and  the  charmer  of 
the  family,  according  to  Jo  Burley  Adams 
('62).  Pat,  her  oldest,  is  a  sophomore  in 
high  school;  Kathy  is  a  seventh  grader,  and 
Mike  is  in  fourth  grade.  All  of  them  enjoy 
camping  and  swimming,  and  Don  has  sev- 
eral fishing  partners  now.  He  is  teaching  at 
V.P.I.,  having  finished  the  long  part-time 
work  he  did  to  earn  his  Master's.  Jo  has 
taken  a  year  or  so  out  from  teaching  in 
Blacksburg  to  stay  home  with  the  baby. 
Joyce  Hunt  Henderson  has  received  her  li- 
cense as  a  funeral  director.  For  some  time 
she  has  been  helping  her  husband  with  his 
profession  in  addition  to  playing  the  organ 
for  the  funerals  that  are  held  in  their  Chapel. 
She  is  also  pianist  for  their  church  and  works 
with  both  the  Adult  and  Youth  Choirs  in 
addition  to  helping  as  a  teacher  for  the  Young 
Adult  Class.  She  is  enjoying  making  clothes 
for  herself  and  daughter.  Cindy  is  12  years 
old  now  and  follows  her  mother  in  musical 
talent  by  playing  the  flute  in  her  school's 
marching  band.  Joyce  also  has  a  son,  David, 
age   10. 

As  we  have  tried  to  do  every  year,  Becky 
Hines  Bowling,  Betry  Jane  Griffin  Holland, 
and  I  along  with  our  families  (except  for 
my  girls  because  Judy  celebrated  Christmas 
with  scarlet  fever)  got  together  at  the  Hol- 
lands   for    dinner    one    night    last    December.

John  now  has  his  own  farm  which  he  runs 
in  addition  to  working.  They  have  three 
children — two  girls  and  a  boy — who  keep 
Betty  Jane  busy  enough  to  retire  to  full  time 
housekeeping.  Becky  seems  to  keep  busy 
doing  everything  from  serving  as  chairman 
of  the  district  cancer  drive  to  taking  feed 
to  FarmviUe  to  be  ground,  to  chauffeuring 
her  daughter  to  piano  lessons.  She  has  three 
sons  and  a  daughter.  Ernest  is  working  and 
farming — with  Becky's  help,  she  says — near 
Andersonville. 

Marion  Lowry  Boone's  son  Ed  is  3  and 
keeps  her  moving.  She,  Ed,  and  Ed,  Jr., 
still  live  near  Winchester,  Ky.  Mary  Ann 
"Galax  "  Ward  Deaton,  Parks,  and  their  three 
daughters — ages  11,  8,  and  3 — are  living  in 
Worthington,  Ohio.  She  writes  that  she 
never  seems  to  get  caught  up  on  her  sewing, 
ironing,  and  hair  combing.  Sound  familiar.^ 
Parks  works  with  the  Columbus  and  South- 
ern Ohio  Electric  Co.  and  is  now  Supt.  of 
a  Generating  Plant.  They  usually  get  back 
to  Galax  several  weeks  during  the  summer 
and  around  Christmas  time.  Bev  Taylor  New- 
comb    ('56x)    lives  in  Worthington  also. 

I  had  a  delightful  telephone  call  the  other 
day — call  any  time — (412  823-6958) — from 
Donnie  Devi/ie  Clark.  She  says  she  "never 
writes;  "  but  after  the  time  she  had  tracking 
down  my  telephone  number,  she  just  may 
start.  She  has  recently  moved  to  Charlotte, 
N.  C,  and  seems  to  be  in  full  swing  with 
activities.  She  is  Secretary  of  the  Charlotte 
Panhelenic  Congress  and  in  the  Alumnae 
Group  of  Zeta  Tau  Alpha.  Donnie  also 
served  as  President  of  the  Charlotte  Alumnae 
Chapter  and  belongs  to  the  Childrens  The- 
ater there.  She  was  so  enthusiastic  about 
the  field  of  Creative  Dramatics  which  1, 
too,  find  such  fun.  Her  husband  is  with  a 
furniture  agency.  They  have  two  boys,  Gus, 
11,  and  William,  9,  who  are  busy  with  little 
league  baseball,  etc. 

Barbara  Hough  Miller  is  living  in  Win- 
ston-Salem, N.  C,  where  Dusty,  her  husband, 
is  in  the  Mortgage  Loan  Dept.  of  Wachovia 
Bank  and  Trust  Co.  and  their  7-year-old 
son,  Bobby,  is  a  second  grader.  Barbara 
keeps  busy  in  Garden  Club,  League  of  Women 
Voters,  plays  bridge,  and  is  learning  to  play 
golf. 

Betr/  Barr  Gibbs'  son  is  now  in  the  fifth 
grade  and,  at  writing,  was  looking  forward 
to  spending  some  time  in  AsheviUe,  N.  C, 
in  simimer  camp.  Bill  is  still  employed  by 
C  &  P  Telephone  Company.  Betty  had  to 
have  major  surgery  last  year,  but  was  re- 
cuperating well.  She  talks  to  Barbara  Rick- 
man  Vought  on  the  phone  occasionally  and 
wrote  that  Betty  West  Buchert  helped  with 
the  alumnae  fund-raising  drive  last  year.  She 
has  been  serving  as  President  of  the  Vir- 
ginia Beach  Alumnae  Group.  Georgette 
Puryear  Goode  wrote  from  Savannah,  Ga., 
that  she  visited  Farmville  last  summer  and 
was  amazed  at  the  changes.  Her  husband, 
Ben,  was  transferred  from  Kaiser  Aluminum 
to  Kaiser  Agriculmre.  They  are  enjoying  the 
historical  spots  in  Savannah  as  well  as  the 
beach.  They  have  a  daughter,  Beck,  11,  and 
a  son.  Bill,  3-  Pollyanna  Martin  Foard  also 
found  that  "the  third  one  is  a  charm."  She 
writes  that  after  two  boys  they  have  a  little 
girl,  Ellen,  who  is  5.  Ben  is  14  and  Brian 
is  10.  She  and  Don  are  still  living  at  Oak 
Ridge,  Tenn.;  you  may  be  sure  Pollyanna 
still  loves  cats,  too. 

Another  long  letter  came  from  Audrey 
Morse  Tillett  who  is  living  in  Knoxville, 
Tenn.,   while   Burt   is   on    duty    in    Southeast 


Asia.  Audrey  has  a  brother  living  in  Bangkok, 
Thailand,  so  at  least  Burt  has  some  family 
close  enough  to  visit.  Upon  remrning  to  the 
States  from  Okinawa  last  year,  the  Tilletts 
settled  near  Apple  Valley,  Calif.,  while  Burt 
attended  Jet  training  school.  Audrey  liked 
the  experience  of  living  in  the  desert,  but 
doesn't  think  she  would  want  to  spend  the 
rest  of  her  life  there.  She  is  enjoying  being 
in  Tenn.  where  there  are  four  distinct  sea- 
sons, and  Bruce  and  Scott  are  enjoying  the 
swimming  pool  available  with  their  apart- 
ment. Audrey  had  the  pleasure  of  seeing 
Burt's  gold  leaves  mrn  to  silver  as  he  was 
promoted  to  Lt.  Colonel  just  before  leaving 
for  the  Orient. 

Jimmie  Mills  is  working  for  Westing- 
house  at  the  Aerospace  Division  at  Friend- 
ship, so  the  family  is  still  living  in  Balti- 
more. Bobbie  Assaid  Mills  ('54),  as  you 
remember,  didn't  graduate  with  us,  but  she 
and  I  still  correspond  at  Christmas  time. 
She  is  working  on  her  Master's  at  Johns 
Hopkins    in   addition   to    taking    care   of    her 

4  youngsters — 3  girls  and  a  boy.  Phyllis 
Powell  Swertfeger  wrote  on  her  Christmas 
card  from  Rhinebeck,  N.  Y.,  that  she  is  still 
teaching  there.  At  writing,  they  were  con- 
templating a  trip  to  the  Dominican  Repub- 
lic for  part  of  the  summer.  Phyllis  has  a 
son  and  a  daughter.  I  hear  also  from  Marion 
\i"ebl?   Gaylor   who  is  really   a   busy   gal   with 

5  girls  and  a  boy.  In  addition  she  has  gone 
back  to  teaching  near  Hazardville,  Conn. 

I'm  sure  all  of  you  join  me  in  extending 
belated  sympathy  to  the  family  of  Barbara 
Southern  Meeker,  who  was  killed  July  13, 
1968,  in  an  automobile  crash  in  N.  Y.  Her 
husband.  Dr.  Richard  K.  Meeker,  a  former 
professor  at  Longwood,  died  a  week  later 
from  injuries  received.  He  had  been  an 
English  instructor  at  Hartwick  College.  Bar- 
bara was  a  librarian  at  State  University  Col- 
lege at  Onenonta,  N.  Y.  They  were  survived 
by  two  sons,  ages  12  and  9,  who  now  live 
with  Barbaras  sister  in  Charlottesville. 

As  for  me,  life  seems  to  be  getting  much 
more  confused  than  ever  with  more  to  keep 
up  with  and  to  do.  After  two  girls,  first  and 
tnird  graders,  we  have  a  little  son  to  add 
variety  to  our  lives.  Mel  is  now  manager  of 
the  High  Power  Lab  at  the  East  Pittsburgh 
Works,  Westinghouse,  which  means  less 
traveling  than  before.  His  latest  interest  is 
sailing  with  the  purchase  of  an  International 
505;  so  he  is  striving  to  develop  a  crew  from 
among  his  family.  Richard  has  to  grow  a 
little  bit  before  qualifying,  but  Jan  is  be- 
ginning to  enjoy  it,  and  Judy  is  striving  to 
learn  to  swim.  Do  have  a  wonderful  year 
and  be  sure  to  write  me  all  about  it.

Class  of  1956 

President  and  Acting  Alumnae 

Secretary: 
Georgia  Jackson 
3112  N  Street,  N.  W. 
Washington,  D.  C.  20007 


The  East  Coast  lost  two  of  our  class  this 
past  year.  Mary  Davis  Fischer  and  Bob  left 
N.  J.  in  Sept.;  after  much  visiting  and  sight- 
seeing, they  arrived  in  Bremerton,  Wash, 
where  they  are  located  in  base  housing.  They 
both  are  enjoying  golf  for  recreation,  and 
Mary  belongs  to  a  gourmet  group.  Mary  re- 
ports that  Washington  is  beautiful  when  it 
isn't  raining,  which  isn't  often! 

After    only    fourteen    months    in    the    East 


Loretta  Brooking  Gasswint  is  back  in  Cal. 
in  the  San  Francisco  area — San  Mateo.  Norm 
is  Western  Regional  Manager  for  Alcoa  Con- 
ductor Pro.  Co.,  and  Loretta  is  busy  settling 
a  new  house  and  will  become  a  Girl  Scout 
leader  in  the  fall.  Another  Girl  Scout  leader 
in  Vista,  Cal.,  is  Ann  ]o7ies  Mitchell  who  is 
also  a  Girl  Scout  Troop  Organizer  and  Supt. 
of  the  Junior  Dept.  at  church.  She  is  so 
proud  of  Jim  who  will  be  a  Lt.  Col.  in  July, 
and  her  Jamie  won  a  flute  award  at  the  band 
festival  this  year. 

After  one  more  quarter  Helen  Warriner 
will  be  back  in  Richmond,  following  a  year 
in  Columbus,  Ohio,  working  on  her  Doctor- 
ate degree.  Good  luck  on  the  exams,  Helen. 
Liz  Detiaven  Blair  and  Tom  had  two  trips 
to  the  West  Coast  this  year,  one  to  San 
Francisco  and  one  to  San  Diego  when  Tom 
won  the  Fuller  Award  at  American  Water 
Works  Conference  for  Outstanding  Water 
Utility  Man  of  Year.  Liz  finds  time,  with 
four  children,  to  be  Treasurer  of  the  Junior 
League  and  a  member  of  the  Women's  Com- 
mittee of  Charleston,  W.  Va.,  Symphony. 

In  Chester,  Sarah  Jane  Brisintine  Mick 
caies  for  her  little  boy  and  is  active  in  church 
and  community  activities.  Gene  Phillips 
Rhodes  wrote  from  Franklin  to  say  that  she 
was  back  to  diapers  and  bottles,  since  the 
arrival  of  her  third  daughter.  From  Brook- 
lyn, N.  Y.,  Dottie  Rector  Turmail  sends  word 
that  she  has  become  a  lady  contractor  as  she 
and  Dick  are  doing  the  remodeling  of  a 
carriage  house  themselves.  Dick  is  with 
Hayden  Publishing,  and  take  my  advice  and 
visit  the  Turmails,  to  see  their  house  if  you're 
ever  in  N.  Y.  They  are  very  clever  and  tal- 
ented people. 

Suzanne  Prillaman  Lowry  is  in  Ithaca, 
N.  Y.,  where  she  had  a  new  daughter  in 
April.  Nancy  McLawhorn  Rhue  loves  the 
snowy  winter  in  Yorktown  Heights,  N.  Y. 
She  and  her  family  learned  to  ice  skate  last 
winter  and  hope  to  try  skiing  this  year.  Down 
in  warmer  sunny  West  Palm  Beach,  Fla., 
Ann  Brooking  Stelter  tries  to  keep  up  with 
her  two  boys  while  Ted  travels  the  South- 
eastern States,  managing  the  development  of 
sales  for  his  Rohm  and  Haas  agricultural 
chemicals. 

In  Charlotte,  N.  C,  Molly  Ann  Harvey 
Childers  is  excitedly  watching  their  new 
house  start  up  after  many  months  of  plan- 
ning it  themselves. 

Barbara  Mays  Harris  is  in  Owensboro, 
Ky.,  where  Bond  has  been  teaching  at  Ky. 
Wesleyan  College.  She  is  taking  graduate 
courses  this  slimmer  at  Western  Ky.  U.  and 
will  teach  art  at  Davies  County  High  School 
in  the  fall. 

In  Green  Ridge,  Penn.,  Carolyn  Gray  Ab- 
dalla  has  her  own  Ann  Gray  among  thirty 
four-year-olds  in  her  nursery  school.  She 
serves  on  her  church  vestry,  and  she  and 
Peter  enjoy  Pro  Basketball  and  Ice  Hockey 
in  Philadelphia.  She  plans  a  trip  to  Va.  this 
summer  and  hopes  to  see  Lou  Wilder  CoUey 
and  Lee  Hayes.  Lee  is  teaching  biology  at 
Richard  Bland  Junior  College  in  Petersburg. 
Patricia  Abernathy  Casey  is  happily  caring 
for  one-year-old  Mary  Cloud  in  Avondale, 
Penn.  Bob  teaches  and  is  working  as  a  hobby 
for  the  CAP   in  Penn. 

In  Roanoke,  Bettye  Maas  Sterzing  de-

and  her  family.  Harry  has  just  returned  from 
a  tour  in  Vietnam,  and  they  are  moving  to

It  was  like  a  voice  out  of  the  past  this 
spring  when  I  heard  from  Jackie  Marshall. 
She  and  her  brothers  are  buying  a  house  in 
Suffolk  and  would  welcome  any  good  tips 
on  raising  roses.  She  has  just  completed  her 
M.S.  degree  and  teaches  reading  at  the  in-

One  further  proof  that  we  have  reached 
the  age  where  time  flies  is  how  quickly  the 
deadline  for  writing  our  newsletter  rolls 
around.  Why,  it  seems  like  only  yesterday 
that  I  was  struggling  over  the  1968  letter; 
now  it  is  time  for  news  of  1969!  Our  news 
this  year  is  scant — the  Class  of  '57  either 
has  settled  down  too  much  or  else  just  over- 
looked helping  me  compose  this  letter! 

Gale  Branch  Gillespie  was  delighted  to 
walk  out  of  church  in  March  and  see  Mary 
Alice  Powell  Roberts.  Mary  Alice,  Gordon, 
and  their  three  youngsters:  Mac  (8),  Alice 
(6),  and  Wes  ^4)  had  moved  to  Severna 
Park,  Md.,  in  February.  They  are  only  "30 
seconds  apart  as  the  crow  flies."  A  long 
blond-haired  girl  had  joined  Gale's  family 
this  year — in  the  form  of  a  Golden  Retriever! 

Slippery  Rock  College,  Pa.,  will  serve  as 
home  for  Gayle  Peoples  Shiner  and  her  family 
come  August.  Bill  has  accepted  an  associate 
professorship  there;  so  Gayle,  with  Jim  and 
Beth,  will  be  leaving  Syracuse.  Gayle  wrote 
that  Jim  was  playing  the  trumpet  now.  Is 
this  another  Tech  bandsman  in  the  making.' 
Gloria  Kratzsch  Young,  Dave,  and  Gar  have 
a  17-foot  fiberglass  sailboat  which  they  have 
put  to  good  use  on  many  of  the  lakes  around 
Maine.  They  find  it  a  wonderful,  rhough 
sometimes    challenging,    family    activity. 

Would  you  believe  Guam.'  Yes,  after  three 
years  on  the  east  coast,  Lee  was  transferred 
to  Guam.  Anne  Thomas  Denny  wrote  that 
the  heat  and  humidity  are  unbelievable,  but 
they  were  enjoying  the  swimming  and  shelling 
at   the   beaches. 

Jane  Brugh  Layman  and  John  are  kept 
busy  by  their  brood  in  Blacksburg.  John 
Eric  is   in   his   first  year  of  school,   Charles   is 


in  nursery  school,  and  their  twin  girls  are 
now  three.  "Peanuts"  Winder  Grimstead  en- 
tertained her  family  from  Cal.  last  summer 
by  sightseeing  in  such  places  at  Gatlinburg, 
AsheviUe,  Lexingron,  and  Williamsburg. 
Little  Lisa  had  a  ball!  Anne  Caldwell  Cake 
serves  as  a  hostess  at  the  Custis-Lee  Mansion 
were,  on  special  occasions,  she  has  played 
the  1837  square  grande  piano.  Charlie  has 
been  made  an  associate  partner  in  his  law 
firm.  Martha  Joyner  DuLong  is  in  Mich, 
with  Perry  who  is  again  studying  ar  the 
University  in  Ann  Arbor.  Sandra  Dyer  Hin- 
son  moved  into  a  new  home  in  November. 
Rea  is  enjoying  kindergarten,  and  Marc — 
at  2 — is  into  everything! 

At  the  Richmond  Chapter  of  Longwood 
Alumnae,  I  had  "ole  home  week"  with  four 
others  from  our  class.  Eleanor  Stradley  Tur- 
ner and  her  family  have  moved  into  a  new 
home.  In  order  not  to  have  to  bother  with 
lawn  care,  they  had  bought  several  truck 
loads  of  pine  tags,  but  alas,  grass  was  still 
sprouting!  Margaret  Hudnall  Miller  and  her 
husband  recently  welcomed  a  second  little 
girl.  Having  moved  to  the  capital  city,  Jane 
Wood  Witt  was  enjoying  Woman's  Club 
work.  Hazel  Hanks  Lewane  was  helping  in 
the   Henrico   County   library. 

The  grapevine  has  it  that  Evelyn  Rowe 
Harper  is  raising  pigs  in  her  backyard  in 
Kinsale.  Jo  Hillsman  Winters  and  I  often 
grocery  shop  at  the  same  time;  so  we  enjoy 
frequent  chats.  Though  busy  with  two  sons, 
Jo  finds  the  time  to  teach  a  class  at  'Virginia 
Commonwealth  University.  Last  summer, 
Flo  Soghoian  and  I  had  a  pleasant  encounter 
at  Willow  Lawn.  Both  of  us  had  to  agree 
that  the  other  had  changed  very  little.  She 
is  teaching  just  outside  San  Francisco  and 
was   visiting   her   mother   in   Richmond. 

Mae  Bennett  Guthrie's  husband  has  ac- 
cepted a  call  to  the  Oxford  Presbyterian 
Church  in  Lexington.  Allison  (6),  Holly 
(4),  and  Nancy  Lynn  (2)  welcomed  Buffy, 
a  collie  puppy,  as  the  only  addition  to  their 
family  this  year.  The  golf  club  has  replaced 
Anne  Wayne  Fuller  Patterson's  hockey  stick 
these  days.  A  frequent  partner  is  Jerry  Ed- 
ivards  Mayhew  (59).  Johnny,  in  the  third 
grade,  fell  in  love  with  his  student  teacher 
from  Longwood.  Meredith,  a  live-wire  who 
keeps  everyone  on  their  toes,  will  go  to 
kindergarten  next  fall.  Pat  Ashby  Robinson's 
husband  is  running  for  reelection  as  Com- 
monwealth Attorney  in  Newport  News.  She 
was  elected  a  vice-president  in  the  Demo- 
cratic Wives  Club.

How  proud  we  were  to  see  our  favorite 
class  sponsor  receive  such  acclaim  when  he 
returned  for  Founders  Day  last  March.  Stu- 
dent Building  is  now  French  Hall,  a  well 
deserved  honor  for  "Charlie  Hop,"  who  has 
meant  so  much  to  so  many  girls  over  the 
years.  He  was  deeply  appreciative  of  all 
the  notes  and  cards  he  received  during  his 
last  operation.  We  were  pleased  to  see  that 
he  had  recuperated  in  order  to  return  to 
the  campus.  I  understand  that  Margaret  Be^i- 
vers  Reed,  Shirley  Hardy  McCray,  Kitty  Nel- 
son Hubbard,  and  Jo  Hilhman  Winters  were 
among  those  present   for   the   festivities. 

We  have  lost  contact  with  some  of  our 
class  members.  Should  you  know  anything 
about  any  of  the  following,  please  let  me 
know:  Pat  Jones,  Mary  Mayo  Stenger,  Shir- 
ley Paxson,  Joyce  Pulley  Bryant,  Caroline 
Sloneman  Wells,  and  Elsie  MeaJe  Webb.  I 
am  afraid  that  this  is  all  the  news  I  have 
for  this  year.  I  do  hope  that  more  of  you 
will  drop  me  a  line  before  the  next  letter 
in  June,   1970.    Best  wishes   to  each   of  you.

The  news  of  this  year  was  the  reunion! 
Since  I  was  not  able  to  attend,  I  am  writing 
this  letter  for  many  people  who  know  much 
more  news  than  I  do.  All  of  the  reports  of 
the  reunion  have  been  very  good,  and  I  have 
heard  over  and  over  again  how  nice  every- 
one looked  and  what  a  memorable  occasion 
it  was.  We  should  certainly  offer  a  word  of 
appreciation  to  Lillian  and  the  Richmond 
area  girls  who  helped  her  and  to  Nancy 
Andrews  whose  aid  and  hospitality  helped 
to  make  the  day. 

Our  president  has  moved,  so  please  take 
no-e  of  her  new  address.  Lil  and  Lewis  plan 
to  build  and  have  been  hunting  for  the  right 
lot.  I  know  that  it  was  difficult  for  them 
to  leave  their  many  friends  in  the  Richmond 
area.    We   wish   them   the   ver>'   best  of   luck! 

Betty  Brown  Culpeper  Holland,  Bill,  and 
their  four  children  moved  to  Virginia  Beach

in  Virginia  Beach  will  be  "Beedee"  Statton 
McMillan,  Jo  Lynn  Holland  Chaffin,  and  Betty 
Griggs  Barco.  Betty  Barco  responded  this 
year  for  the  group  from  the  beach.  They  en- 
joyed the  reunion  and  especially  the  night 
spent  at  Weedie  Norman  Hoffman's  cottage. 
After  the  cocktail  party,  the  group  fornied 
a  car  caravan  and  traveled  about  25  miles 
outside  of  FarmviUe  to  the  cottage  on  a  lake. 
They  were  awake  until  the  wee  hours,  going

Catherine  Cornell,  4  '  2,  and  Jennifer  Darhy,  2, 
daughters  of  Louisa  Booth  Noble,  YiU. 

Betty  Griggs  Barco,  Mary  Ellen  Moore  Mit- 
chell, Joan  Lee  Thomas  Jenkins,  Wayne  Boy- 
den  Dunbar,  Burks  Keith  Scarborough,  "Bee- 
dee"  Station  McMillan,  Aggie  Loivry  Frazier, 
and  "Weedie."  Bert)'  Barco  keeps  in  touch 
with  Gin  Kuyk  Lynch  who  lives  in  Glou- 
cester. Gin  had  a  boy  in  March.  Check  the 
list  of  births  and  marriages  which  appears 
elsewhere  in  the  Bulletin.  I  won't  list  them 
all  here. 

After  the  reunion,  I  received  a  nice  report 
from  Lillian.  We  just  missed  the  Jarman 
Cup  for  attendance.  The  Class  of  1919  had 
75%  of  its  living  members  present — three 
out  of  four!  Charlie  Hop  was  there,  of 
course,  and  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Lankford  had  des- 
sert with  the  group  after  the  luncheon.  Be- 
fore the  reunion,  I  spoke  with  Betty  Spivey 
Sellers  twice  by  phone.  Betty  and  I  had 
hoped  to  be  able  to  make  the  trip  to  Farm- 
ville,  but  this  could  not  be  arranged.  Betty 
lives  in  Savannah,  and  her  husband  was  due 
to  begin  his  second  tour  of  duty  in  Vietnam 
this  fall.  Betty  is  a  TV  teacher,  doing  the 
Romper  Room  Show  in  the  Savannah  area. 
She  keeps  busy  with  this,  her  family,  and 
activities  of  the  Officer's  Wives  Club. 

I  wish  I  had  space  to  list  those  who  at- 
tended the  reunion.  There  were  sixty-three 
class  members  or  associate  class  members 
present.  Several  of  these  were  people  from 
whom  I  have  never  received  a  letter — Peggy 
Blankinship  Woody,  Waynne  Boydon  Dun- 
bar, Nancy  Forrest,  Carole  Vick,  and  some 
others.  A  very  few  people  have  responded 
with  the  notes  in  Christmas  cards,  so  please 
write  this  year.  Now  for  a  run  through  of 
some  news.  Starting  here  at  home,  the  Ray 
family  now  numbers  four.  Luther  Beebe 
Ray,  IV,  decided  to  come  to  see  us  a  bit 
earlier  than  expected,  and  we  welcomed  a 
little  brother  for  Betsy  in  June.  I  can't 
manage  much  work  between  his  eight  or 
nine  feedings  each  day.  We  still  live  in 
Augusta  and  will  probably  be  here  for  an- 
other year.  Luther  is  a  Major  in  the  Army 
and  is  enjoying  his  work  in  personnel  man- 
agement at  Fort  Gordon.  Please  give  us  a 
call  if  you  are  ever  in  the  Augusta  area.  We 
were  in  Virginia  in  October  for  a  week  and 
visited  Longwood  as  we  passed  through  Farm- 
ville.  I  was  in  Suffolk  in  December  and  en- 
countered Barbara  Odom  Wright  and  her 
family,  while  visiting  in  the  hospital.  I  do 
wish  I  were  where  I  could  talk  to  more  of 
you.  One  little  baby  boy  necessitated  redoing 
two  rooms  of  our  house,  so  we  spent  the  time 
between  Easter  and  Memorial  Day,  engaged 
in    redoing    the    guest    room    for    Betsy    and 


Betsy's  room  for  the  baby.  We  plan  to  spend 
a  week  at  Jekyll  Island,  Ga.,  just  before 
Labor  Day. 

Molly  Workman  was  married  in  April  and 
is  now  Mrs.  MacLeod.  Virlinda  Joyner  en- 
tertained for  Molly  and  Mac  one  evening 
before  the  wedding,  and  I  called  and  spoke 
with  the  bride-to-be.  Liz  Nichols  Thornby 
called  me  recently.  Liz  stays  busy  with  her 
teaching  and  transporting  two  children  to 
all  of  the  required  places.  The  oldest,  Billy, 
is  learning  to  drive. 

Gwen  Melton  Baucom  had  a  son  in  March; 
so  she  was  not  able  to  get  to  the  reunion. 
Elsie  Dick  Hood  and  family  were  still  in 
England,  but  were  due  to  leave  for  the  States 
in  May.  Betty  Ray  Lazenby  Markhan  found 
Fla.  a  bit  too  far  to  permit  the  trip.  This 
year,  Betty  Ray's  parents  moved  to  Fla.;  so 
she  is  enjoying  some  good  babysitting  service. 

Virlinda  Joyner  spent  her  Easter  vacation 
in  Fla.  She  planned  to  go  to  the  beach  dur- 
ing the  summer  and  also  to  Atlanta  and  to 
New  Orleans.  Helen  Jean  Young  is  teach- 
ing in  Clifton  Forge.  During  the  summer 
she  planned  to  be  director  of  the  kinder- 
garten and  remedial  summer  program  for 
the  school  and,  then,  to  travel  to  Pittsburgh 
to  see  Jean  O'Connell  Nader  ('60)  and  her 
family. 

Julia  Grey  Wallace  Sweeney  and  family 
are  happy  to  be  back  in  Virginia  Beach. 
Linda  Doles  Dougherty,  Paul,  and  Kent  are 
in  Frankfurt,  Getmany,  where  Paul  is  asso- 
ciated with  the  American  Express  Company. 
They  looked  forward  to  returning  to  the 
States  for  six  weeks  this  year.  Margie  Lay- 
man Forte  reported  that  Barbara  Heck  Bruno 
and  Jerry  had  been  to  visit.  Jerry  attended 
graduate  school  during  the  past  year.  Sandra 
Kilmon  Phillips  and  Hatton  have  moved  into 
their  new  home  near  Salisbury,  Md.  They 
enjoy  having  a  larger  home  and  a  nice 
wooded  lot  near  a  small  creek. 

Merle  Ridinger  Weingart  lives  in  Hart- 
ford, Conn.  She  works  with  teenage  girls 
who  are  committed  to  a  residential  treatment 
center.  Her  daughter  Karen  is  three,  and  has 
been  a  great  comfort  as  Dick  was  killed  in- 
stantly in  an  automobile  accident  in  July 
'68.  He  had  just  been  named  academic  dean 
at  the  Hartford   Seminary. 

Helen  Hillman  Drummond  has  moved 
from  Canada  to  Ft.  Hood,  Tex.  Jim  has 
been  promoted  to  Lt.  Colonel  in  the  Army. 
Martha  Rucker  Coleman,  in  Atlanta,  spent 
the  spring  fighting  the  flu  bug  and  the  re- 
modelers.  She  says  that  after  the  months  of 
problems  have  passed,  the  modern  kitchen 
and  the  self-cleaning  oven  are  worth  the 
ptice  of  the  confusion.  Martha  reports  that 
Pat  Hudson  NeSmith  ('64)  has  formed  a 
Longwood  group   in  Atlanta. 

Nancy  Cross  Johnston  has  given  up  teach- 
ing for  awhile,  and  she  and  John  are  anxiously 
awaiting  the  birth  of  their  first  child.  They 
live  in  South  Boston.  Dottie  Cothern  Nu- 
gent sent  a  picture  of  her  pretty  little  girl, 
Meg.  Dottie  is  an  officer  in  the  Martinsville 
chapter  of  the  SPCA  and  is  breeding  Si. 
amese  cats.  She  spends  time  as  a  story  teller 
for  the  library  and  is  studying  to  renew 
her  teaching  certificate.  Dottle's  husband, 
Ralph,  is  an  engineer  with  DuPont,  work- 
ing with  nylon.  Liz  Nichols  Thornby  reports 
that  Ruth  Looper  Hartman  and  Paul  came 
by  one  evening  for  a  visit  with  the  Thorn- 
bys.  Ruth  was  to  be  listed  in  the  next  edi- 
tion of  WHO'S  WHO  AMONG  AMERI- 
CAN WOMEN.  The  Hartman  family  in- 
cludes two  adopted  daughters,  and  it  was 
nice  to  hear  some  news  of  them. 


Betty  Rawls  Unwin  spent  last  year  in 
Hampton  where  she  taught  first  grade.  Dave 
was  in  Vietnam  and  due  to  return  in  Sep- 
tember. Betty  was  looking  forward  to  the 
R  &  R  trip  to  Hawaii  in  June,  after  which 
she'll  spend  the  summer  at  home  with  little 
Andy.  They'll  be  moving  to  Aberdeen  Prov- 
ing Ground,  Md.,  in  the  fall. 

This  year,  Joann  Fivel  is  in  New  Haven. 
She  had  a  fellowship  for  individual  study  at 
Yale.  The  program  is  designed  to  allow 
teachers  to  broaden  their  back.eround,  with- 
out being  concerned  about  gtades  or  money. 
Joann  reports  that  she  sees  the  Schlegels  oc- 
casionally. Ann  Glover  O'Dell  and  Denton 
have  moved  to  Oxford,  Miss.  Denton  is 
Minister  of  Christian  Education  for  the  pres- 
bytery which  covers  the  northern  third  of 
Miss.  Ann  taught  Spanish  last  year  in  an 
all-negro  high  school  in  Tallahatchie  County, 
Miss.  She  says  that  it  was  a  unique  experi- 
ence and  that  her  students,  who  often  couldn't 
buy  their  lunch,  gave  her  lovely  gifts  at  the 
end  of  the  year. 

JoAnn  Sloop  Simmers  and  Marvin  live 
in  Lynchburg.  Marvin  has  been  working  on 
his  Master's  degree  at  the  Presbyterian  School 
of  Christian  Education.  Jackie  Harper  Mea- 
dor,  also  in  Lynchburg,  spent  the  past  year 
as  director  and  teacher  for  a  new  nursery 
day  school.  Max  received  his  MEd.  from 
UVa.  last  August.  Jackie  has  also  taken  two 
classes  to  renew  her  teaching  certificate.  Of 
course  we  all  had  to  take  note  of  the  fact 
that  this  was  the  year  for  the  renewal!  I  sent 
mine  off  to  Richmond  in  January,  and  it 
never  came  back.  Thus  far,  I  have  not 
bothered  to  investigate  because  I  can't  im- 
agine that  I  could  ever  have  the  time  to  re- 
rurn  to  work. 

One  of  the  nicest  letters  which  I  received 
was  from  Mary  Ellen  Moore  Mitchell.  Meme 
enjoyed  the  reunion.  She  was  granted  sab- 
batical leave  by  the  Newport  News  School 
Board  and  spent  the  past  year  at  William 
and  Mary,  working  on  her  Master's  degree. 
She  received  also  a  graduate  assistantship  and 
worked  at  the  W  &  M  Reading  Center. 
This  fall  Meme  was  to  work  as  the  Director 
of  the  Laboratory  Center  for  Reading  in 
Newport  News.  Last  summer  she  and  Joan 
Lee  Thomas  Jenkins  were  in  a  small  antique 
shop  at  Nags  Head.  Meme  says  that  she  was 
staring  at  a  girl  and  realized  that  the  girl 
was  staring  ar  her.  Then  she  recognized 
Ann  Glover  O'Dell  who  was  visiting  and 
on  her  way  back  to  Miss.!  Jean  Turner 
Groome    and    Bob,    who    have    been    in    III., 

Jan  and  Freya  Holtrop  Verheul,  '6lx,  and  daugh- 
ters Esther,  4  V2,  and  Inger,  2  Vi,  who  are  living 
in  Spain. 


'60 


are  moving  back  into  the  house  which  they 
own  across  the  street  from  Meme.  Aggie 
Lowry  Frazier  and  family  are  in  Wilson, 
N.  C.  Last  year  Tommy  won  two  all-expense- 
paid  trips,  and  Aggie  and  Tommy  went  to 
Freeport,  Bahamas,  for  five  days  and  later 
to  Las  Vegas,  Hawaii,  and  San  Francisco  for 
two  weeks.  Carolyn  Copeland  Dix,  Bill,  and 
Suzanne  are  enjoying  their  new  home  in 
Rocky  Mount.  Carolyn  taught  third  grade 
last  year,  and  they  all  looked  forward  to  a 
summer  of  camping. 

I  guess  that  is  all  that  I  know.  If  I  left 
you  out,  please  forgive  me  as  I  have  written 
this  at  five-minute  intervals  over  a  period 
of  a  week.  Don't  forget  a  note  at  Christmas 
time.  Please  keep  in  touch!  Ten  years  passed 
in  a  hurry  and  in  fifteen  more,  we'll  be 
calling  for  a  25th  reunion  and  the  100th 
anniversary  of  the  college.  Maybe  I'll  get 
there  then   and   hope  you  all   will  too.

From  around  the  world,  around  the  na- 
tion, comes  news  of  our  classmates.  Only  a 
few  remain  in  Outer  Mongolia.  After  a  year 
at  Teacher's  College,  Columbia  Univ.,  con- 
tinuing work  on  her  doctorate  in  art  educa- 
tion, Barbara  Bishop  has  returned  to  Long- 
wood  as  associate  professor  in  the  art  de- 
partment. She  and  Connie  Goodman  Ryan 
have  discussed  our  Reunion  Plans  for  1970, 
and  we  definitely  plan  to  have  lunch  in  the 
Tea  Room  and  a  cocktail  party  during 
Founders  Day.  Connie  is  living  in  Medford 
Lakes,  N.  J.,  and  even  though  far  away,  she 
is  quite  interested  in  making  our  reunion  as 
successful  as  possible!  Jean  O'Connell  Nader 
is  back  in  the  USA  after  four  years  of  de- 
lightful travelling  and  teaching  in  the  Far 
East,  during  which  time  she  married  Howard. 
He  is  a  dentist,  now  beginning  practice  out- 
side Pittsburgh,  Pa.  Their  children  are  John 
Anthony,  2,  and  Jennifer,  7  months.  Ann 
Scott  Perkins'  husband  Bob  is  back  from 
Vietnam  and  working  with  VEPCO  while 
Ann  still  works  for  the  Army  at  Bellwood. 
Todd  will  be  in  the  second  grade.  She  talked 
to  Chris  Wilson  Johnson  in  Ca!.,  while  on 
her  way  to  meet  Bob  for  "R  &  R"  in 
Hawaii.  She  sees  Chris  Jones  Ferguson  and 
Ann  Clark  Cornell  at  work.  "Clarkie"  is 
now  a  program  analyst  for  the  state.  Diane 
Doughty  Tobin  and  Frank  have  adopted  a 
beautiful  litde  girl,  Jennifer.  Diane  enjoys 
her  work  in  Junior  'Woman's  Club.  A  ray 
of  Cal.  sunshine  came  in  Chris  Wilson  John- 
son's orange  stationery  from  Santa  Monica. 
Benny  is  Head  Conservator  at  the  Los  Angeles 
County  Museum  of  An  and  is  in  the  process 
of  establishing  the  best  such  laboratory  in 
the  West  for  conservation  and  restoration 
of  works  of  art.  With  Mark  (7)  and  Elena 
(6)  in  school,  Chris  will  have  more  time 
for  volunteer  work  in  the  UCLA  Art  Coun- 
cil. She  sees  Dr.  Barry  Dunbar  who  taught 
at  L.  C.  and  is  now  at  UCLA;  she  and  Benny 
met  Carolyn  DeHaven  Dodds  and  Jerry  for 
dinner  in  San  Francisco.  Carolyn  is  now  in 
Waukesha,  Wis.,  where  Jerry  is  doing  re- 
search   in    radiology    in    Milwaukee.     Out    in 


Valencia,  Cal.,  we  found  Sandra  Parker  Grif- 
fith whose  husband  is  with  Pharmaseal  Lab- 
oratories. They  love  touring  in  the  West 
and  plan  a  trip  to  Mexico  this  summer.  With 
three  pre-schoolers — Blake,  Christian,  and 
Katherine — Sandra  still  finds  time  to  teach 
a  kindergarten  class  at  Sunday  School.  She 
corresponds  with  Pat  Lowery  Waters  in  At- 
lanta, Ga.,  and  was  delighted  to  be  hostess 
to  Anna  Belle  Pope  for  a  week  on  her  re- 
turn to  the  U.S.  after  a  month's  vacation 
in  Hawaii!  Ann  Jenkins  Parker  sent  air-mail 
news  from  Schillerstrasse,  Germany,  where 
she,  her  husband,  and  son  William  have 
been  living  for  seventeen  months.  Ann's 
husband  is  in  a  new  DuPont  plant  training 
German  personnel.  They  have  travelled  ex- 
tensively, but  were  home  last  year  and  went 
by  L.  C.  to  see  "the  amazing  new  growth." 
Up  at  Ferrum  Junior  College  we  find  Becky 
McGrath  Daughety  whose  husband  Jim  teaches 
drama  and  English.  Following  the  produc- 
tions and  keeping  up  with  young  Alex  keeps 
Becky  on  the  go.  Ann  Mixon  Wilson  and 
Gerald  reside  in  Roanoke  where  life  with 
energetic  young  boys — Allen,  2,  and  David, 
1 — keeps  the  pendulum  swinging.  Down 
near  Virginia  Beach  Annis  Norfleet  Murphy 
loves  teaching  along  with  being  mother  to  a 
young  son  and  a  daughter.  She  has  even 
learned  to  sew.  Norma  Redmon  Richmond 
resides  near  Mechanicsville  and  loves  horses 
as  much  as  ever.  She  and  Annis  looked  the 
same  and  laughed  as  much  as  ever  at  Founders 
Day.  Joyce  Pendleton  Harrell  and  Frank  are 
now  in  Plymouth,  N.  C,  where  Frank  is 
working  with  a  farm  equipment  firm.  Joyce

nation's  capital,  we  ran  into  Joanne  Tench, 
a  Spanish  Ling-uist.  who  loves  the  big  city 
and  is  working  on  her  doctorate.  Her  Christ- 
mas letter  is  always  fascinating  and  filled 
with  news  of  her  work  and  travels  to  Eu- 
rope and  to  Mexico.  She  was  featured  on 
a  full-page-color  spread  in  the  "Washineton 
Post"  and  really  looked  glamorous.  Back  to 
San  Jose,  Cal.,  where  Tae  Walmsley  Glasson 
and  Joe,  a  sales  representative  for  a  data 
Drocessing  firm,  and  Tae  Kristin,  now  two, 
live.  Although  Tae  is  retired  from  her  job 
as  programmer,  she  loves  being  in  their  new 
home  and  not  working.  Barbara  Cobeland 
Saunders  was  voted  "Outstanding  Member 
of  the  Year"  by  the  Sufl'olk  Junior  Woman's 
Club.  She  and  Edith  Ward  Byrum  are  faith- 
ful members  of  our  area  alumnae  association. 
Edith  teaches  in  Chesapeake,  enjoys  club  work, 
church  activities,  takes  night  classes,  and  has 
two  children — Steven  and  Susan.  Ann  £/- 
liott  Brooks  writes  from  the  rolling  hills  of 
Charlottesville  that  she  is  substimte  teaching 
and  taking  classes  In  Library  Science  and 
will  be  back  into  full-time  teaching  before 
long.  Four-year-old  twins,  Felicia  and  El- 
liott, and  husband  Curtis  comolete  the  family. 
She  and  Mary  Ann  Walker  Shindle  and  Bar- 
bara Stephenson  Fields  and  her  two  children

South   Hill,   after   living   in   Richmond   eight 


years;  their  daughter,  Cynthia,  is  three.  Linda

Nancy  and  her  husband  have  two  sons,  and 
they  are  living  in  Charlotte,  N.  C.  Beverly 
Lipford  Yeager's  news  from  the  beach  con- 
tained a  marvelous  surprise — she  has  lost 
seventy  pounds  and  has  a  13-year-old  step- 
son. Her  husband  is  Carrol  Von  Gaskin 
Yeager,  Jr.  Whew!  Bev  is  crazy  about  her 
first-grade  teaching  position.  She  sends  news 
that  Ann  McDonald  Grogan  is  living  in 
Martinsville  and  has  two  adorable  little  boys. 
Ann  Snyder  Simmons  reports  that  it  is  good 
to  be  back  in  Va.  after  three  years  at  Hamil- 
ton Air  Force  Base  near  San  Francisco  where 
they  adopted  a  bouncing  big  boy  who  is 
now  eighteen  months  old.  Howell  is  work- 
ing with  a  consultant  engineering  firm  in 
Fairfax,  and  Ann  will  be  teaching  second 
grade  there  this  fall.  She  is  eager  to  hear 
from  any  classmates  in  the  area.  Barbara 
Rossiter  Goodwyn  and  Bill  have  two  daugh-

Junior  Woman's  Club  and  Church  activities 
are  keeping  her  busy.  At  the  head  of  the 
Business  Department  at  Dinwiddle  High 
School  we  find  Sylvia  Cogville  Chambers 
who  has  just  been  awarded  her  Master's  in 
business  education.  Her  husband,  Charley, 
is  with  N.  Chambers  &  Son,  and  young 
Chuck — at  two — is  a  future  partner  in  the 
firm.  Down  in  Newport  News,  Margaret 
Graham  Fluharty  is  active  in  the  Hampton 
Roads  Junior  League  along  wirh  "watching 
the  four  kids  in  our  new  pool."  She  sends 
news  that  Demetria  Koumparkis  Costes  is 
in  Springfield,  Va.  In  New  Holland,  Pa., 
Jo  Ann  Garner  Wagstaflf  is  the  proud  owner 
of  a  new  six-foot  Baldwin  Grand  piano. 
With  Kevin  (5)  and  Brian  (1)  she  still 
manages  to  teach  piano,  organ,  guitar  and  to 
direct  the  five  choirs  at  her  church.  From 
Rochester,  Minn.,  came  my  first  response  for 
news — none  other  than  Sara  Oliter  Erwin 
who  has  been  getting  her  Longwood  news 
via  the  Hampden-Sydney  bulletin!  Don  and 
Sara  have  one  daughter,  Ginny  (5);  they 
will  be  setting  out  on  a  first  camping  venture 
to  Wis.  this  summer.  They  have  been  from 
MCV  in  Va.  to  Edwards  Air  Force  Base  in 
the  desert  of  Cal.  and  have  landed  at  the 
Mayo  Clinic  in  the  cold  north  country  with 
many  exciting  trips  in  between.  Don  will  soon 
be  in  his  third-year  resident  in  Internal  Medi- 
cine. She  is  the  office  shafi^  for  her  husband's 
business,  after  retiring  from  eight  years  of 
teaching,  when  young  Jeflf  came  along.  Speak 
Arabic,  anyone?  Arlene  McKav  Fitzgerald 
and  Ben  are  in  Alexandria  while  he  is  at- 
tending the  Army  Language  Institute,  for

From  Judy  Mason  Shumaker  in  Pearl  City, 
Hawaii.  Her's  was  a  long  letter  describing 
their  travels — exploring  mysterious  castles 
in  Turkey  to  Omaha,  Neb.,  on  to  Hawaii, 
the  most  beautiful  state  in  the  union.  Her 
daughter,  Margaret,  is  ready  to  learn  the 
Hula;  and  son,  Cecil,  is  ready  for  his  own 
surf  board  even  though  he  is  just  four  and 
hasn't  learned  to  swim  yet.  Husband  Cecil 
is  flying  on  "Upkeep"  on  Oahu  as  teletype 
operator.  It  was  quite  a  thrill  meeting  and 
talking  with  Mrs.  Nixon  when  the  First 
Family  was  in  Hawaii.  Louise  Boelte,  a  sum- 
mer school  grad,  writes  that  1970  will  con- 
clude her  47th  year  teaching  in  Halifax 
County,  beginning  in  a  one-room  school  with 
seven  grades  in  192.1.  Today  we  find  her

husband,  who  is  treasurer  at  Hampden-Syd- 
ney,  live  in  Farmville.  Rita  participates  an- 
nually in  the  local  production  of  a  Broad-

They  have  two  daughters.  Nancy  Barce  Griggs 
and  Tommy  still  live  at  Virginia  Beach. 
Nancy  Childress  Smith  and  Billy  are  out  in 
Bon  Air,  Richmond,  with  their  two  children. 
Judy  Carr  McLeraore  and  Harvey  live  in

Congratulations  to  Jo  Bearing  Smith  on  her 
election  as  a  director  on  the  Alumnae  Board 
of  our  National  Association.  Her  family 
totals  five — farmer  John;  Marshall,  second 
grader;  Debra  (5);  and  Todd  (2).  She  and 
"Bishop"  will  be  planning  our  10th  celebra- 
tion; each  of  us  can  help  make  it  a  great  event 
by  drumming  up  interest  and  planning  car 
pools  well  in  advance.  We  still  need  addresses 
of  10  classmates;  we  did  locate  Demetria,  Gay, 
and  Ann  Snyder.  A  million  thanks  to  each  of 
you  who  kept  the  cobwebs  out  of  my  P.  O, 
box  in  June.  Each  letter  was  exciting  and 
beautifully  written.  If  you  didn't  respond, 
send  a  note  at  Christmas.  Good  news  doesn't 
grow  stale  for  a  long  time.  If  vou  haven't 
visited  our  alma  mater  recently,  plan  to  come 
on  Friday  for  Founders  Day  to  view  the 
magnificent  campus  and  to  meet  the  "Big 
Four":  Dr.  WiUett,  Col.  Carr,  Dean  Black- 
well,  and  Mr.  Dalton.  You  will  wish  you 
were  a  student  again.  It  has  been  a  mar- 
velous experience,  serving  as  second  vice- 
president  of  alumnae.  Meeting  new  people, 
spending  the  night  at  the  alumnae  house 
for  board  meetings,  keeping  up  with  the 
new  Longwood,  and  working  with  Liz  Jones 
have  been  highlights  of  my  life  during  the 
past  two  years.  To  those  of  you  who  think 
of  Longwood  as  long  ago  and  far  away,  go 
to  your  looking-glass  and  view  deeply  to  sec 
what  is  there.  None  of  us  would  be  exactly 
what  we  are  today  had  not  Longwood  cast 
its  spell  on  our  personality  or  our  profes- 
sion or  even  our  romantic  ties.  Do  Come 
Back!  Life  in  the  'Village  of  Chuckatuck  is 
haopy,  peaceful,  and  exciting.  I  served  Mrs, 
Bill  Battle  tea  at  Meadowbrook  Farms  when 
she  stopped  by  on  the  campaign  trail;  we 
will  hate  to  see  our  dear  Governor  Mills 
Godwin  leave  the  caoital.  Mv  husband  Cor- 
nelius is  still  farming  and  flying  radio  con- 
trol model  airplanes  for  fun;  Herbert  is  a  third 
grader  at  Isle  of  Wight  Academy  and  is  a 
good    combination   scholar   and    sport.     Annah 


is  four  and  keeps  our  grandmother  and  great- 
grandmother  in  the  upstairs  apartment  from 
getting  lonely.  We  are  waiting  for  a  new 
little  Duff  in  December.  I  enjoy  life  and 
love  the  garden  and  yard  work.  Be  looking 
for  you  at  Founders  Day.

Dear  '6lers, 

The  absence  of  class  news  in  the  ALUMNAE 
News  has  been  due  to  lack  of  class  funds. 
Under  these  conditions,  it  has  been  impossible 
to  keep  in  touch  with  each  of  you.  With 
our  10th  reunion  coming  up,  we  should  be 
able  to  reorganize  so  that  our  correspondence 
will  be  assured. 

Until  March,  1971,  we  can  have  news  of 
our  class  included  in  the  various  editions  if 
you  will  write  to  me.  When  you  write,  be 
sure  to  include  news  of  classmates.  Each  of 
you — icrite  soon!  It's  impossible  for  me  to 
individually  contact  the  200  or  so  of  you. 
I  need  your  help  now.

To  the  Class  of  'dl,  I  send  my  thanks  for 
your  cooperation  in  helping  me  secure  news 
for  our  magazine.  Each  day  I  looked  for- 
ward to  receiving  your  letters  and  enjoyed 
reading  all  of  them.  I  know  you'll  enjoy, 
too,  reading  about  the  events  in  the  lives  of 
our  classmates. 

A  very  inviting  and  friendly  letter  to  all 
of  us  was  from  Mary  Lee  Wariner  Scott.  Mary 
wrote,  "Any  class  member  coming  to  Farm- 
ville— please  look  us  up.  We'll  give  you  a 
guided  tour  of  our  expanding  campus";  and 
"although  the  enrollment  has  doubled  since 
our  graduation,  the  friendliness  and  Long- 
wood  Spirit  still  remain  an  integral  part  of 
campus  life."  Mary  is  President  of  the  Colon- 
nade Club,  a  group  of  faculty  and  adminis- 
trative   wives,    women     faculty',    and    staff    at

the  Chamberlin  Laundry,  Inc.  Virginia  says 
her  biggest  news  is  son,  'Willard  Andrew, 
III,  who  is  a  pure  delight  to  them.  She  and 
her  husband  enjoy  boating  and  water  skiing 
and  also  the  activities  of  the  'Warwick  Yacht 
and  Country  Club.  In  addition,  Virginia 
works  with  the  Youth  in  her  neighborhood 
church,  is  a  member  of  the  Peninsula  Alumnae 
Chapter  of  Zeta  Tau  Alpha,  and  is  looking 
forward  to  serving  as  Chairman  of  the  Pub- 
lic Affairs  Department  for  the  1969-70  year 
for  the  Colonial  Place  Junior  'Woman's  Club. 

I  received  also  a  note  from  Jane  Martin 
'Wood  who  teaches  science  at  Linkhorn  Jr. 
High  in  Lynchburg.  She  and  husband.  Chip, 
have  recently  bought  a  home  in  Lynchburg 
where  her  husband  works  for  a  consulting 
engineer  firm.  Also,  Jane  will  attend  V.P.I, 
for  a  graduate  course  this  summer.  In  addi- 
tion, Jane  writes  that  Betty  Patteson  Monally 
lives  near  her  and  that  Betty  stays  busy  with 
a  son  and  daughter.  Ginny  Moss  George  is 
also  busy  with  her  new  home  and  her  son 
and  daughter  in  Lynchburg. 

As  for  me,  Judy  Smith  Liles,  I  have  never 
been  so  busy!  David,  Jr.,  now  3,  can't  ask 
enough  questions;  and  Steven,  now  2,  can't 
stay  outside  and  play  enough.  I  enjoy  stay- 
ing home  with  them  and  am  glad  1  don't 
work  full  time.  I  do  teach  night  school — 
shorthand  in  the  Adult  Vocational  School, 
Portsmouth,  which  keeps  me  up  to  date. 
Also,  I  am  President  (for  the  third  year)  of 
the  Phi  Mu  Alumnae  Chapter  here  and  was 
voted  Outstanding  Phi  Mu  of  our  local  chap- 
ter this  year.  My  husband  and  I  both  are 
active  in  our  church.  He  teaches  a  Sunday 
School  class,  and  I  am  Secretary  of  our  Official 
Board.  David,  Sr.,  is  a  Nuclear  Inspector  at 
the  Norfolk  Naval  Ship  Yard,  Portsmouth. 
We  spend  our  summers  at  the  pool  or  at  the 
beach.  Anyone  coming  to  this  area,  please 
call  or  visit  us. 

I  hope  that  each  of  you  will  make  it  a 
point    to   write   me   each    spring   to    keep    me 


Madeline  MacNeil,  '62,  during  ihe  lilming 
of  "Maddie  Does  Her  Thing  In  Spring"  at 
the  Belle  Grove  estate.  For  the  past  year  has 
performed  as  a  professional  folksinger  at  the 
Wayside  Inn  in  Middletown. 

abreast  of  your  news.  I  welcome  each  letter 
and  any  news  of  others  you  may  know.  Thank 
you  for  your  cooperation  in  getting  this  news. 

Many,  many  thanks  to  Barbara  Ann  Cole 
Payne,  Betsy  Wilson  Price,  Jane  Hanger  Long- 
acre,  Eleanor  Bradford  Farrington,  and  Sue 
Beardmore,  who  responded  to  my  plea  and 
reported  news  from  the  members  in  their 
areas  of  the  Class  of  '62.  Fiom  them  I  was 
able  to  find  out  for  you  what  some  of  our 
class  are  doing  in  Danville,  Norfolk,  the 
Peninsula,  and  the  Washington,  D.  C.  area. 
I  wonder  what's  happening  in  Richmond, 
where  a  number  of  our  classmates  seem  to 
be.  I'd  love  to  hear  from  more  of  you 
v.'herever  you  are. 

Barbara  Ann  Cole  Payne  returned  to  teach- 
ing last  year  in  the  Danville  Public  Schools. 
She  and  Sammy,  an  industrial  engineer  for 
Dan  River  Mills,  have  two  children:  Deborah 
Ann    (3),  and  Kirk    (6). 

Others  in  Danville  have  retired  from  teach- 
ing. Judy  Giles  Robertson  and  Dalton  are 
living  on  a  farm  in  nearby  Pittsylvania  County. 
They  have  two  girls:  Robyn  (4),  and  Renee 
( 1 ) ,  who  require  Judy's  skills  as  a  home- 
maker  and  mother.  Also  practicing  those 
skills  is  Carolyn  Grinstead  Helms.  She  and 
Vernon,  an  engineer  for  Corning  Glass,  will 
become  parents  in  September.  Glenda  Cham- 
berlain Boswell  and  Martin  are  in  Danville, 
too,  where  she  is  a  secretary  for  the  Dean 
of   Instruction    at   the   community   college. 

In  the  Norfolk  area  are  Pauline  Bright- 
well  VanBeuschoten,  who  has  been  awarded 
her  Master's  degree  and  has  a  new  son;  and 
Hannah  Drummond  Burgess.  Teaching  at 
Virginia  Beach  are  Emma  Critcher  Davis, 
Carolyn  Davis  Finley,  and  Trina  Childress. 
Trina  will  this  year  be  at  U.  Va.,  working 
on  her  Master's  degree.  Also  at  Virginia 
Beach,  but  not  teaching,  is  Nancy  Wallace 
Bryant  who  has  two  girls:  Leigh  (7)  and 
Beth    (3). 

Living  on  the  Peninsula  are  some  new 
mothers;  in  Newport  News  is  Jane  Hanger 
Longacre  who  has  a  one-year-old  son.  Chuck, 
and  a  new  house;  Liz  Eller  Underwood,  liv- 
ing in  Franklin,  has  a  new  daughter,  Ann 
Nelson. 

From  the  Washington,  D.  C.  area  I  found 
that  Sandie  Parish  Green,  Nancy  Huffaker 
Floyd,  and  Jean  Cloud  are  residing  in  Alex- 
andria. Sandie  and  Cliff  have  started  a  home 
decorating  and  remodeling  business  after  re- 
ceiving many  compliments  and  inquiries  about 
their  own  home.  In  addition  to  that  enter- 
prise and  caring  for  her  son  and  daughter, 
Sandie  is  also  raising  toy  poodles.  After  a 
year  in  Fla.,  Nancy  and  Bill  remrned  to 
Alexandria  where  he  is  a  management  intern 
at  the  Office  of  Education,  and  Nancy  is  the 
Staff  Assistant  for  Information  and  Research 
at   the   American   Association   of  Junior   Col- 


leges, in  Washington.  Jean,  after  a  summer 
of  traveling,  will  be  teaching  third  grade  this 
fall  at  Rolling  'V'alley  School  in  Fairfax 
County.  This  year  Jean  will  not  be  teaching 
physically  handicapped  children  as  before, 
but   I   understand   she   is    still   helping   others. 

Also  in  that  area  is  Eleanor  Bradford 
Farrington  and  her  family  in  Centreville. 
From  Eleanor  I  heard  that  Marge  Preese 
Steinke  and  Dick  are  in  Lynchburg  and  have 
two   children :     Suzanne   and    Keith. 

From  Sue  Beardmore,  who  is  in  Arling- 
ton and  teaching  eighth  grade  U.  S.  History, 
I  received  news  about  others  in  the  area. 
Pat  Hickey  Masri  and  Sid  are  living  in  An- 
nandale  and  have  a  son.  David    ( 1 ) . 

Speaking  of  Annandale,  Winnie  Egolf  Mc- 
Cuan,  expecting  her  first  child  in  July,  re- 
turned to  the  U.  S.  in  May  from  Tripoli, 
Libya.  Mary  Leach  Elmore  also  will  return 
to  Fairfax  County,  after  having  been  awarded 
her  Master's  degree  in  remedial  reading  from 
the  U.  Va. 

Elsewhere,  Lois  Peters  Meredith  and  Sid 
are  living  in  Omaha,  Neb.  They  have  a  son, 
Michael  (1).  In  Cal.  are  Judy  Detrich  Brown 
and  Dennis,  who  have  been  moving  around 
quite  a  bit.  At  the  time  this  letter  had  to 
be  written,  they  were  in  San  Francisco,  with 
an  aquarium  and  two  cats.  Judy  had  just 
hnished  teaching  English  to  eleven  hard-core, 
unemployed  men  from  minority  groups.  At 
that  time  their  plans  for  fall  were  uncertain, 
with  Dennis  considering  work  on  his  doctor's 
degree  at  Penn  or  Syracuse.  We  hear  that 
Jackie  Poole  Perez  also  is  in  Monrovia,  Cal. 
Marian  Meyer  Brown  and  Charlie  and  their 
three  children  have  moved  to  Richmond.  Judy 
Jones  Tharrington  ('63)  and  J.  C.  were  in 
Okinawa  the  last  I  heard,  from  where  J.  C. 
was  periodically  being  sent  to  Vietnam.  Sue 
Caravella  Peterson  and  Bradley  may  be  in 
Germany  where  she  was  hoping  they'd  be 
sent. 

Well,  that's  it  (thanks  to  my  help!)  from 
the  A's  to  the  I's  for  the  Class  of  '62.  Even 
with  more  news  this  time,  you  can  no  doubt 
think  of  people  you'd  like  to  know  about. 
We'd  like  to  know  too!  If  you  will  re- 
member us  and  spread  the  word,  maybe 
next  year  we'll  have  news  of  everybody. 
Don't  forget  to  send  us  your  new  address,  if 
you  haven't  told  us.  Oh,  Buddy  and  I  (Peggy 
Green  Olney)  have  moved  to  Hillsborough, 
N.  C,  where  Buddy  is  the  minister  at  the 
Presbyterian  church.  Our  one-year-old  girl, 
Stacey,  is  keeping  me  busy — but  not  so  busy 
I  don't  want  to  hear  from  You.  We  were 
happy  to  be  able  to  get  together  this  year 
with  Ann  Howell  Griffin  and  Bill  in  nearby 
Cary,  N.  C.  Ann  received  her  Master's  de- 
gree in  biology  from  the  U.  of  N.  C,  while 
Bill  did  his  wotk  at  N.  C.  State.  They  plan 
to  remrn  to  Richmond  in  the  fall,  where 
Ann   will   probably   teach.

The  response  to  1969  news  requests  was 
teriffic!  So — here  goes  with  a  potpourri  of 
Green-and-White    activities    and    whereabouts: 

First  of  all  Margaret  Vaughan,  a  most 
faithful  correspondent,  wrote  during  the 
Christmas  holidays  with  news  of  many  class- 
mates. Elaine  Lohr  Alfano  and  husband 
Tommy  have  two  children  and  have  recently 
built  a  new  home  in  Ashland.  Tinsley  Crump 
Preston  lived  at  home  and  taught  in  Henrico 
County  while  Pat  served  in  Vietnam;  they 
planned  to  be  in  Norfolk  after  February. 
Rosilyn  Wright  is  working  in  a  library  in 
Portsmouth.  Jane  Whitten  Goller,  husjjand 
Manny,  and  their  two  children  are  in  Rich- 
mond. Jerry  Clarke  Chaney,  husband  Bill, 
and  daughter  Kelly  are  returning  to  civilian 
life  this  summer  and  hope  to  settle  near 
Kenbridge.     Anne    Peters    Troisno    and    her 


husband  live  in  Lake  Katrine,  N.  Y.,  and 
expected  a  baby  in  April.  By  the  way,  Mar- 
garet is  teaching  in  Loudoun  County  and 
hoped  to  complete  her  Master's  in  math  this 
summer. 

Dudley  Brooks  Buck  and  her  husband  both 
work  at  the  Woodrow  Wilson  Rehabilitation 
Center  in  Sraunton  and  plan  to  entoU  at 
UVA  in  the  fall;  they  have  no  children,  but 
plan  to  breed  their  Afgan  Hound  and  begin 
a  kennel  soon.  Pat  Sweeney  Slaughter  and 
Lewis  have  been  in  Waynesboro  for  six  years 
and  love  it;  he  is  plant  superintendent  at 
Reynolds  Metals,  and  son  Steve  starts  to 
school  in  the  fall.  Also  in  Waynesboro  are 
Ellie  Bogan  Woosley,  husband  Larry,  and 
new  daughter  Cameron;  Ellie  taught  fifth 
grade  for  three  years  and  planned  to  teach 
an  afternoon  kindergarten  class  this  fall. 
Carolyn  Buscemi  Miller,  attorney  Phil,  and 
their   two   children   live   in    Staunton. 

Retired  from  teaching  is  Rose  Pettit  Noyes 
after  the  December  arrival  of  Catherine  At- 
wood;  Ned  is  still  with  DelMonte  in  Roa- 
noke and  they  spend  their  time  antique  hunt- 
ing and  water  skiing.  Rose  wrote  also  that 
Gari  Dickson  Laird  and  David  have  moved 
from  their  farm  and  are  buying  a  house  in 
Richmond.  Susan  Lane  Foard  and  Bob  are  glad 
to  be  back  in  Roanoke;  little  Beverly  Anne 
arrived  on  March  5,  but  Susan  manages  to 
continue  work  on  her  Master's  through  a 
National  Science  Foundation  grant.  Betty 
Chappell  Wallace,  Ed,  and  little  Terry  Glenn 
have  also  settled  in  Roanoke  after  three  years 
with  the  Army;  Ed  is  practicing  dentistry 
there. 

Busily  taking  care  of  year-old  Billy  and 
teaching  in  the  Adult  Education  Program  is 
Ellen  Brady  Brohard;  they  are  living  in  Ann- 
andale.  Ellen  had  seen  Carol  Hall  Lukens, 
who  is  living  in  Norristown,  Pa.,  while 
Horace  finishes  school.  She  told  also  of  the 
birth  of  a  second  son,  Andrew  Carlton,  to 
Joyce  Outland  Bradt  in  March. 

Mary  Warrtn  Hof  enjoyed  teaching  in 
Okinawa  last  year,  but  she  is  now  a  happy 
bride  in  Arlington;  she  and  Bill  are  both 
teaching  and  working  on  Master's  degrees. 
Frieda  Boykin  Cathey  is  President  of  the 
Junior  Woman's  Club  of  McLean  this  year, 
and  Tom  is  an  electrical  engineer  with  Con- 
ttol  Data  Corporation;  they  rewrncd  to  Va.. 
in   January,   1968,  after   living  in   Cal. 

Small  town  life  is  "agreeing  tremendously" 
with  Janice  Harris  Overbey  and  lawyer  Buck; 
both  have  Scout  troops,  and  Janice  is  teach- 
ing and  working  with  the  church,  garden 
club,  sorority,  etc.  She  wrote  also  about  Kay 
Nottingham  Lee's  first  child,  a  daughter,  and 
Carol  Nye  Parod's  first  daughter  after  two 
sons.  Betsy  Hurt  Carter,  Bob  and  their  two 
sons  moved  to  Appomattox  last  year;  he  is 
a  lawyer  and  Betsy  is  a  busy  housewife.  Nell 
Martin  Jones  is  delighted  with  Harold  Lewis, 
Jr.,  who  was  born  only  a  month  after  the 
class  Reunion  last  year.  Nell  substituted  for 
Jane  Bowling  Mays  when  Jane's  new  daugh- 
ter, Michelle  Lynne,  was  born  in  April.  Ellen 
Terry  Tunicliff's  serviceman  husband  is  still 
stationed  in  Hawaii,  and  she  and  little  Lisa 
Jo  love  it  there.

two-month  tour  of  Europe  this  summer. 
Sarah  Decker  Johnson  and  Walter  have  lived 
in  Tex.,  Ala.,  and  Fla.,  but  hope  they  are 
now  permanenrly  settled  in  Fredericksburg; 
Walter   is   an   Eastern   pilot   who   flies   out   of 


Washington.  Their  two  daughters  often  play

Joyce  Dunkley  Brinkley,  her  husband,  and 
son  Mark  are  living  in  Suffolk.  They  have  just 
built  a  new  home,  and  Joyce  is  teaching  in 
a  private  school.  Nelda  McPherson  Emert's

and  she  taught  first  grade  until  little  Chris 
was  born  in  December.  Courtney  Dowell

ington  and   in   Burma. 

Marilyn  Miller  Oates  writes  that  she  taught 
for  nearly  five  years  and  that  Robb  was 
"finally  "  born  in  November.  Marilyn  lives 
in  Chesapeake  and  often  sees  Libby  Lee 
Beale  at  sorority  alumnae  meetings.  Libby 
and  Jack  Beale  are  teaching  at  Indian  River 
High  School.  Also  in  Chesapeake  are  Shirley

Salle  Sittis  Jones  and  Harry  spent  four 
years  with  the  Air  Force  in  Fla.,  and  have 
since  been  in  graduate  school  at  UVA;  Sally 
finished  in  January  and  Harry  will  be  through 
in  August.  She  wasn't  sure  where  they  would 
be  next  year.  Barbara  Moyer  Willis  was

ding in  August  last  year,  they  have  bought 
a  new  home  in  Columbia  and  are  bursting 
with  excitement  about  the  baby  expected  in 
August,  1969.  Rusty  is  teaching  under  the 
NROTC  program  at  the  U.  of  S.  C,  and  Ann 
is  decorating  the  house  and  playing  bridge

Despite  the  pressures  of  her  own  thesis 
and  Randy's  written  exams  for  his  Doctorate, 
Bobbi  Goodman  Fitzgerald  in  Athens,  Ga.,

sure  that  Renndy  the  Weimaraner  and  get- 
ting settled  in  a  new  home  will  keep  me 
more  than  busy.

'64 


Our  fifth  class  reunion  in  March  proved 
to  be  very  successful  as  47  of  our  classmates 
returned  to  the  Longwood  campus  amid  re- 
marks of  "How  good  you  look!",  "My,  hasn't 
the  campus  changed?"  and  "Would  you  like 
to  see  some  pictures  of  my  family?" 

Pat  Soret  Smith  had  a  baby  boy.  Mason 
Soret,  in  January.  Because  of  the  increase 
in  their  family,  the  Smiths  moved  to  a  larger 
home  where  Pat  planned  to  retire  from  teach, 
ing  for  several  more  years.  Last  summer  they 
visited  the  Washington  area  and  talked  with

Wingo  last  fall  and  is  continuing  her  nurs- 
ing career.

some  time  this  summer  with  Mary  Ann  Lip- 
ford  Reynolds  who  is  presently  working  for

Mary  Ann  is  expecting  her  first  child  this  fall.

everything  from  4th  grade  to  French  and 
higher  math. 

Marjorie  Twilley  McDonald  sent  her  news 
from  Wiesbaden,  Germany,  and  says  that, 
when  she  and  Peter  return  to  the  States  the 
first  of  the  year,  they  should  bring  a  little 
6-month-old  bundle  of  joy.  Meantime  they 
spent  last  Christmas  in  Spain  and  a  week- 
end in  May  among  the  millions  of  tulips  and 
spring  flowers  in  Holland.  During  her  6th 
month  of  pregnancy  Marie  ventured  off  with 
a  Wive's  Club  group  on  a  three-day  cruise 
of  the  islands  of  Greece  and  four  days  in 
Athens.  She  reports  that  the  food  on  the 
ship  (7-course  meals  twice  a  day),  riding 
donkeys  to  the  outlying  areas  of  the  islands, 
and  exploring  the  ruins  and  sites  made  famous 
by  the  Greek  dramas,  were  highlights  of  the 
tour — especially    for    a    pregnant    woman! 

Myrtle  Thomas  Duck  had  another  boy  in 
March,  '69;  this  kept  her  from  coming  to 
the  reunion.  Katie  Wood  Chamberlin  had 
her  third  girl  in  as  many  years;  so  they  now 
have  one  blonde,  one  redhead,  and  one  bru- 
nette. She  and  Ashby  planned  to  spend  the 
summer  weekends  at  their  cottage  on  the 
Potomac  River;  so  she  boned  up  on  her 
swimming  by  taking  a  course  at  the  Y  this 
past  winter. 

Wanda  Robertson  Miller  retired  from 
teaching  for  a  year  and  traveled  through  Eu-

Jeff   is  practicing   law. 

Judy  Partrea  Stone  visited  in  Norfolk  last 
Easter  and  saw  Doris  Harrison.  She  spends 
her  time  taking  care  of  Ken,  who  is  a  sales 
engineer  for  Trane  Air  Conditioning;  Kim- 
berly,  age  2;  and  Spencer,  who  is  9  months 
old.  In  her  spare  time  she  is  tutoring  re- 
medial reading  at  home,  needle-pointing  din- 
ing room  chair  seats,  tole  painting,  and  de- 
coupaging. 

Among  those  in  Richmond  are  Pat  Brooks,

and  I  rook  a  week  "away  from  it  all"  at 
Myrtle  Beach  while  Grandmother  Combs 
babysat  lor  us  as  she  did  again  in  the  fall 
so  that  we  could  go  to  New  York  City  for  a

Wasn't  our  Founders  Day  "Reunioning" 
fun!  Nearly  fifty  of  your  '64  classmates 
donned  their  best  (minus  hats?)  and  re- 
mrned  to  the  campus,  where  it  seemed  as 
if  we'd  never  left.  Old  times  and  new  baby 
pictures  were  swapped  with  pride.  To  quote 
your  retiring  secretary,  Evelyn,  "seeing  how 
attractive  my  classmates  were,  more  so  than 
in  '64,  made  me  feel  less  that  the  quarter- 
cenmry  hump  of  youth  had  taken  all  charm 
with  it."  Receiving  your  letters  this  spring 
has  been  more  fun  as  Carol  and  I  begin 
serving  as  your  "gossip  gatherers."  Seriously, 
a  lot  of  wonderful  things  have  been  going 
on  among  our  classmates  this  year.  Trips  and 
babies  seem  to  tip  the  scales.

ing, looking  after  Andy,  teaching  at  the 
Country  Day  School  in  Leesburg,  and  her 
job  as  church  organist. 

Judith  Hackney  Peay  combines  her  love  of 
home-making  and  an  interest  in  community 
improvement  in  'West  Point,  where  she  is 
currently  working  with  the  Jaycees,  trying 
to  establish  a  town-sponsored  summer  recrea- 
tion program.  She  is  also  active  with  the 
Junior  Woman's  Club  and  says  she  often 
feels  like  the  town  "radical."  Susan  Brit-

ciation of  Classroom  Teachers.  She  expects 
a  visit  from  Emily  Bonney  Friedrich  in  Au- 
gust. Community  involvement  also  finds  Ev- 
elyn Gray  Harris  doing  volunteer  work  for 
the  Cystic  Fibrosis  Research  Foundation,  for 
she  is  quite  committed  to  the  need  in  this 
area.  She  and  her  husband  took  a  trip  to 
Columbus,  Miss.,  through  the  backwoods  of 
Ala.  and  Miss.  This  spring  she  has  been 
diligently  making  a  bridesmaid  dress  for

listed  in  the  1968  editions  of  "Outstanding 
Young  People  of  the  South"  and  the  "Regis- 
ter of  Prominent  Americans."  Lynn  was  dis- 
appointed in  not  being  able  to  attend  Foun- 
ders Day,  but  the  birth  of  a  son,  Scott,  kept 
her  away.  Janet  Lacy  Martin  was  also  de- 
terred by  the  birth  of  her  third  child, 
Andrew,  that  weekend.  She  and  her  family 
have  made  a  1,300-mile  move  to  a  suburb 
of  Minneapolis,  Minn.  Peggy  Jenkins  Layne

School  Bowl  team  on  to  become  the  cham- 
pions. After  teaching  at  Collegiate  this  sum- 
mer, she  plans  to  retire  and  become  a  full- 
time  housewife.  Retiring  to  the  home  front 
seems  to  be  what  many  of  us  have  already 
done.  Anne  Downey  Brockenbrough  reported 
at  Founders  Day  that  she  has  retired  to  care 
for  their  new  son,  Jimmy.  Barbie  Dorn  Fos- 
nocht,  Bruce,  and  Susan — 17-month-old 
daughter — have  moved  to  Reston,  one  of  the 
model  cities  which  Barbie  says  is  quite  lovely.

roundings." Charlotte  sent  an  adorable  pic- 
ture of  daughter  Cheryl.  Please,  girls,  send 
black  and  white  pictures  if  possible,  as  the 
color  photos  are  not  accepted  for  the  maga- 
zine. Charlotte  and  her  family  are  looking 
forward  to  a  week  at  Myrtle  Beach  this  sum- 
mer with  Melanie  Wilkes  Byrd  and  Frank. 
Martha  Rowe  Bryant  Croft  keeps  busy  with 
two  children,  bridge,  and  crewel  work  in 
South  Hill.  They  are  planning  a  trip  to  Ft. 
Lauderdale  this  summer.  Gail  Jones  Brandt 
keeps  busy  with  her  two  children,  but  took 
time  off  to  attend  Founders  Day! 

The  newest  arrival  for  the  year  is  the  son 
of  Mary  Ann  Debnam  Eure  and  Jack.  David 
was  born  on  May  31.  Mary  Ann  also  has 
a  daughter,  Ann  Dalton.  Jack  is  still  at 
Parris  Island,  S.  C,  but  they  hope  to  return 
to  Va.  next  year.  Jean  Bristow  Venable  has 
completed  her  degree  at  V.C.U.  and  is  now

1,  Marcia  Hynes  Amos,  am  taking  it  upon 
myself  once  again  to  give  the  news,  i.e. 
gossip,  of  the  class  of  '65.  I  am  just  sorry 
more  girls   have   not  written  me   information. 

Most  of  my  tidbits  come  from  the  D.  C- 
Northern  Va.  area.  I  attended  the  wedding 
in  April  of  Pam  Gustafason  to  Art  Spencer 
(who  works  with  my  husband  in  Washing- 
ton). It  was  a  beautiful  day  and  the  bride 
was  lovely.  A  wedding  breakfast  was  held 
after  the  10  a.m.  service.  Amy  Haley  Wat- 
kins  was  there  from  Halifax  County.  She 
has  two  children  and  plans  to  teach  this  fall. 

Cot  Sykes  (Pam's  former  roommate)  was 
unable  to  attend  because  she  was  at  a  con- 
ference in  N.  C.  She  plans  to  go  to  school 
this  summer  then  to  travel  to  Hawaii  to  visit 
Betty  Wright  Allman  and  her  husband,  Steve, 
who  are  living  in  our  50th  state.  Sandra 
Craig  Rowe  (who  was  in  Hawaii  in  Jan.) 
is  waiting  for  Art's  June  return  from  Viet- 
nam; she's  presently  living  with  her  parents 
in  Roanoke  as  is  Carolyn  Anderson  Coleman 
('64)    whose   husband   is   also   in   Vietnam. 

Lynn  Giierin  Johnson  was  in  Hawaii  in 
December.  She's  working  part-time  and  wait- 
ing for  Tony's  return  from  his  2nd  Vietnam 
tour.  She's  in  Ga.  with  her  family,  but 
they  plan  to  move  West  when  Tony  returns. 
Sarah  Jane  Lynch  has  remarried  and  is  living 
in  Wash.  State.  Barbara  Jo  Crumley  Bunch 
and  her  husband,  Allen,  have  moved  into 
a  new  home  in  Highland  Springs.  B.  J.  has 
a  summer  job,  and  is  busy  home  decorating 
and  gardening.  "Sissy"  Shute  McClellan  and 
George  are  in  Alexandria  where  they  both 
teach.  Their  summer  plans  include  beach 
and  mountain  vacations.  I  received  a  note 
from  Susan  Ribble  Pratt  who  is  now  living 
in  Gaithersburg,  Md.,  after  a  move  from 
Eure,  Pa.  Susan  is  interested  in  hearing  about 
Longwood  functions  in  the  D.  C.  area. 

Dixie  Grant  writes  from  her  new  address 
in  Spartanburg,  S.  C,  where  she  will  begin 
work  at  Spartanburg  College  this  fall.  She 
is  endin.e  2  years  as  Dean  of  Women  at 
Isothermal  Community  College.  This  past 
summer  she  was  at  Blue  Mt.  Camp  in  Pa. 
and  promised  to  visit  me  on  her  way  north. 
She  also  writes  that  Joyce  Ncal  is  alive  and 
well  in  Charlotte,  and  Bobbi  Rice  is  off  to 
Germany   for  2  years. 

I  hear  that  Jeri  Rawls  Speers  C66)  is 
in  Richmond,  and  Milly  Woodward  is  work- 
ing in  Md.  Mary  Jane  Brittingham  Bill  and 
Fred  will  be  leaving  Richmond  when  Fred 
graduates  from  dental  school.  Bonnie  Ramey 
Shurley  is  in  Virginia  Beach,  and  Cot  tells 
me  she  saw  Ann  Gordon  Hueston,  Scott^' 
Whitehead  Baker,  and  Nancy  Connell  Mc- 
Caw    ( 'M )    at   Susan   Hawks'   weddin.g. 

My  sister  just  completed  her  freshman  year 
at  Longwood,  and  I  have  enjoyed  visiting  the 
campus  again  and  hearing  about  it  in  her 
letters.    'We   took   her   back   after   spring   va- 


cation,  and  I  was  able  to  visit  Mrs.  Babtr 
and  introduce  her  to  my  2-year-old  son.  Bill. 
He  had  a  grand  time,  running  back  and 
forth  over  Chi  in  front  of  Wheeler!  Mrs. 
Baber  had  been  quite  ill  this  winter  but 
was  looking  very  well  when  we  visited  in 
March.  She  misses  us  and  wants  to  see  a 
big  turnout  tor  our  5th  year  reunion  coming 
up  in    1970.    Please  come. 

And  also — drop  me  a  line — don't  be  the 
disappearing  class  of  1965!  Now  for  news 
from   Betty    Wright  Allman. 

I,  Betty  Wright  Allman,  am  now  living  in 
Hawaii  where  my  husband,  Steve  is  stationed 
aboard  a  nuclear  submarine.  Have  seen  sev- 
eral classmates  during  the  year  and  would 
like  to  report  what  I  can.  Mamie  Payne  Max- 
well is  living  in  Cincinnati  where  her  hus- 
band. Bob,  is  a  lawyer.  My  mother  sent  me 
a  newspaper  clipping  of  Kay  Cobb  Grizzard's 
wedding.  They  are  in  Richmond.  Sarah  Jane 
Lynch  Kenyon  and  husband,  Jerry,  vaca- 
tioned in  Hawaii  during  August.  We  did 
enjoy  seeing  them  and  touring  the  island, 
and  of  course  talking  over  some  of  the  "ole 
college  days"!!  We  played  "remember  when" 
on  such  important  issues  as  circus  skits,  paint- 
ing the  bell,  water  pageants,  hiding  from 
Mrs.  Overton,  feathers  in  the  Rotunda,  our 
version  of  "Gangreen"  at  the  song  contest, 
sneak-day,  and  going  down  to  the  college 
shop  for  a  beer-err  .  .  .  coke!!  Both  hus- 
bands wondered  when  we  found  time  to 
study  .  .  .  good  question,  huh?.'  Also  in 
August  Tot  Sykes  came  over  for  a  visit.  She 
had  just  finished  her  third  summer  of  Mas- 
ter's degree  work  at  Duke.  Tot's  teaching 
in  the  D.  C.  area  and  is  tooling  around  in 
a  new  Firebird.  She  and  Mary  Jane  Brit- 
tingham  Bell  spent  a  day  at  Virginia  Beach 
this  summer,  and  it  seems  that  Mary  Jane 
and  Fred  are  back  in  Churchland  where 
Fred  is  doing  intern  work  in  dentistry 
at  Norfolk  General  Hospital.  Pat  Rowe  is 
teaching  in  San  Diego  this  year.  Norita 
Sizer  has  been  to  Hawaii  this  summer  be- 
cause I  saw  her  name  on  a  register  book  at 
the  Volcanoes  National  Park  Headquarters! 
She  had  been  there  the  day  before,  and  I 
spied  the  Richmond,  Virginia,  address.  Hope 
Marcy  comes  up  with  some  more  news  from 
her  area,  I'm  sort  of  out  of  touch  with  Long- 
wood  out  here.    Aloha!

letters. 

In  Central  Va.  we  find  Patricia  Barnes  Mc-

us  that  the  very  first  food  service  class  at 
the   school   was    recently   graduated. 

From  Springfield  in  Northern  Va.,  we  re- 
ceived a  very  informative  letter  from  Pat 
Finn    Graves    who    had    news    about    several 


members  of  the  Class  of  '67.  First,  Pat  told 
about  her  "Christmas  (y ) "  wedding  on  De- 
cember 21,  1968,  when  she  became  Mrs. 
Michael  Graves.  Girls  in  our  class  who  were 
in  the  wedding  were  Nancy  Fey  Futch,  Cheryl 
Roberts  Bradbury,  Doris  Koehler,  Tootsie  Kay 
Vest,  and  Karen  Walton.  Pat  wrote  also  that 
Cheryl  Roberts  Bradbury  and  her  husband 
have  been  stationed  at  Fort  Benning  in  Co- 
lumbus, Ga.,  this  past  year,  but  are  return- 
ing to  their  hometown  of  Charlottesville  in

at  MCV.  Lucy  Flannagan  Rankin  and  her  hus- 
band, Richard,  are  also  in  Richmond  where 
Lucy  is  teaching  English.  Vicki  Doss  will 
continue  to  teach  Home  Economics  in  Co- 
lonial Heights.  Pat  closes  her  letter,  which 
is  really  appreciated  as  it  was  an  alumnae 
newsletter  in  itself,  by  saying  that  she  will 
continue  next  year,  teaching  fourth  grade  at 
Quantico  Dependents'  School  and  will  be 
taking  a  graduate  course  through  the  UVA 
extension    in    Springfield    this    summer.

living  in  Atlanta,  Ga.,  where  John  will  at- 
tend Ga.  Tech.  Rene  Fishburne  McSwain 
and  husband,  Shackford,  asked  that  we  please 
announce  the  arrival  of  their  first  baby,  Jef- 
frey Drayton,  born  April  7,  1969,  at  the 
U.   S.  Naval  Hospital  in  Portsmouth.

Can  you  believe  it?  We've  been  gradu- 
ates for  over  a  year  now!  It  is  fun  to  find 
out  what  each  has  been  doing  during  that 
time,  and  we  want  to  thank  you  for  your 
responses.  Our  class  has  been  spread  out 
over  the  state,  the  nation,  and   the   world. 

Most  of  us  have  returned  to  the  classroom 
again,  but  find  ourselves  on  the  other  side 
of  the  desk.  Quite  a  switch!  Betty  Tbomai-

plans  for  more  travel  in  '69 — heading  West 
— so  I  hear! 

Marilyn  Green  has  an  exciting  and  fas- 
cinating summer  ahead  of  her.  She  will  go 
to  Greece  as  Richmond's  Ambassador  for  the 
Experiment  in  International  Living  Program. 
Although  she  has  to  spend  many  hours  learn- 
ing Greek,  she  is  overjoyed  at  the  oppor- 
tunity to  know  the  people  and  to  share  in 
their  way  of  life.  She  taught  world  history 
at  T.  J.  High  School  this  year  and  has  ten- 
tative plans  for  graduate  school  next  year 
for  a  M.A.  in  Guidance  and  Counseling. 

It  was  great  hearing  from  those  who  re- 
sponded to  our  requests  for  news.  We  hope 
more  people  will  fill  us  in  on  what  they 
have  been  doing,  for  the  next  issue  of  the 
magazine.

Hi,  Fellow  Grads!  Can  you  believe  we  are 
actually  just  that — graduates.-"  It  seems  funny 
tor  a  September  to  roll  around  without  pack- 
ing up  our  suitcases  and  making  the  journey 
to  Farmville  again.  Most  of  us  are  pretty 
well  settled  by  now,  either  working,  being 
wives,  or  going  ro  graduate  school. 

Virginia  Beach  hired  many  Longwood 
graduates.  The  school  board  gave  a  break- 
fast for  all  their  teachers,  and  it  really  looked 
more  like  a  Longwood  reunion  than  any- 
thing else.  Teaching  in  Virginia  Beach  are

Stephanie  DuRoss,  Jenny  Gregory,  Linda 
Etheridge,  Sandra  Sink,  Maywood  Martin,

Brockmeyer.  Henrico  hired  Beth  Rice  Boyd,

Shields.  Cathy  Hass  Hatfield  and  Alice  Cun- 
diff  signed  with  Chesapeake.  Judy  Kingsley,
