FROM  DR.  TEWKSBURY  .... 


Re-Evaluation  Time 


Lasell  Junior  College  was  initially  accredited  by  the  New  England  Association 
of  Colleges  in  1938.  Once  every  decade  a  member  institution  is  re-evaluated  to 
determine  whether  or  not  it  is  worthy  of  continued  recognition. 

What  does  "accreditation"  signify?  The  parent  organization  says  that  "it  con- 
stitutes public  acknowledgment  that  a  member  institution  has  been  carefully  evaluated, 
found  to  share  certain  basic  educational  policies  and  practices  with  other  member 
institutions,  and  approved  by  the  Association  as  an  institution  of  higher  education." 

In  the  case  of  Lasell,  re-evaluation  involved  the  institution's  being  visited  for 
two  days  (and  one  evening)  by  a  three-member  team  of  educators  from  other  colleges. 
They,  in  due  course,  filed  a  report  of  their  findings  with  the  Association  for  action. 

In  preparing  for  the  committee's  visit  to  the  campus,  a  college  is  required  to 
prepare  detailed  answers  to  a  questionnaire.  Lasell  has,  in  odd  moments,  been  busy 
with  this  undertaking  for  over  a  year.  The  replies  submitted  are  checked  by  the 
visitors,  on  the  scene,  to  see  if  the  institution  is  fulfilling  its  stated  objectives. 

We  are  happy  to  report  that  Lasell  was  unanimously  voted  continued  accreditation 
at  the  Association  meeting  of  December  7,  1962,  in  Boston. 

A  committee  which  visits  a  college  is  also  charged  with  the  responsibility  of 
making  recommendations  which  will  assist  the  institution  in  its  continuing  efforts 
at  self-improvement.  In  this  connection,  specific  suggestions  were  made  for  library- 
enlargement  in  all  areas  and  expansion  of  health  center  activities  in  the  years  to  come. 

The  committee  complimented  Lasell  on  the  "healthy  morale  among  faculty  and 
students,"  a  well  arranged  study  program  and  the  sound  preparation  available  for 
students  who  do  "superior  work"  when  they  go  on  to  senior  institutions.  Committee 
members  were  impressed  with  the  "quality  and  enthusiasm"  of  student  leadership 
and  the  "harmonious  interchange  between  students  and  faculty  and  students  and 
administration. 

The  committee  quite  correctly  closed  its  report  by  observing  that  a  surplus  in 
current  funds  would  probably  be  expended  on  the  new  classroom  building  whose 
construction  had  just  been  authorized. 

It  is  true,  of  course,  that  the  re-evaluation  report  was  written  by  a  particular 
committee  of  the  New  England  Association.  It  might  have  differed  in  some  respects 
if  written  by  another  group.  However,  this  is  about  as  close  as  an  institution  comes 
to  receiving  an  objective  judgment  rendered  by  its  peers.  Certainly  we  shall  not 
rest  on  our  laurels,  but  it  is  gratifying  to  have  what  we  consider  to  be  the  intrinsic 
worth  of  our  alma  mater  thus  publicly  recognized.  In  some  measure,  all  identified 
with  Lasell,  past  or  present,  share  in  the  commendation.

THE  ART  DEPARTMENT  REPORTS  .... 

by  Jacquelin  Saunders,  Chairman 

Last  April  The  Art  Department  was  invited  to  speak  to  members  of  Lasell's  Annual 
Alumnae  Council  regarding  current  phases  of  art  activity  at  the  College.  This  was  a 
welcome  invitation,  for  it  offered  an  enjoyable  opportunity  to  wave  the  banner  for 
Art,  holding  as  we  do  deep  convictions  regarding  its  importance. 

An  attempt  to  familiarize  the  Council  delegates  with  our  activities  began  with 
a  description  of  one  of  the  major  projects  undertaken  by  the  Art  Department  in  1962 
—  the  formation  of  the  College  Student  Art  Collection.  This  will  comprise  out- 
standing works  completed  by  Lasell  students.  The  works  will  be  considered  on  ex- 
tended loan  to  the  College  and  will  be  on  exhibit  throughout  the  campus.  The  collec- 
tion will  grow  with  the  selection  of  additional  pieces  each  year,  and  a  rotating  exhibit 
and  change  of  display  will  take  place  annually. 

The  initial  selection  was  made  in  June  1961,  twenty  student  projects  were 
framed  and  hung  in  the  Woodland  dining  room  and  East  Lounge,  and  in  Bragdon's 
main  hall  and  reception  rooms.  Included  in  the  group  were  watercolor  and  tempera 
paintings,  pencil  and  pastel  drawings,  and  block  prints.  Frames  for  the  pictures 
were  made  in  the  college  carpentry  shop.  Inspiration  for  this  project  was  given  by 
Dr.  Tewksbury,  who  suggested  the  need  for  paintings  in  prominent  campus  locations. 
He  offered  this  opportunity  for  student  work  to  be  displayed,  and  paintings  and  draw- 
ings will  be  placed  wherever  there  is  a  request  for  them,  —  in  dormitories  and  college 
offices. 

A  parallel  activity  is  the  annual  purchase  by  the  Art  Department  of  museum 
reproductions  of  paintings  which,  eventually,  it  is  hoped,  will  become  available  to 
students  on  a  rental  basis  for  their  dormitory  rooms.  At  present  there  are  on  display 
ten  reproductions  purchases  from  the  Boston  Museum  of  Fine  Arts  and  from  the  New 
York  Museum  of  Modern  Art.  These  pictures  have  been  dry-mounted  professionally, 
on  heavy  board,  and  protected  by  a  spray  of  plastic  coating.  Cezanne's  Pines  and 
Rocks  and  Turn  in  the  Road,  Redon's  Floivers,  Seurat's  Fishing  Fleet,  and  Buffet's 
The  City  are  a  few  of  the  selections.  It  is  hoped  that  there  will  be  an  opportunity  to 
invest  in  the  purchase  of  original  contemporary  prints  and  paintings  in  the  near  future. 

The  purpose  of  the  collection  of  student  art  is  two-fold:  first,  to  offer  enjoyment 
to  the  entire  College  through  the  creative  imagination,  the  color,  design  and  techniques 
shown  in  the  paintings;  secondly,  to  provide  recognition  of  student  accomplishment 
evidenced  in  works  of  significant  artistic  quality. 

Another  major  phase  of  the  Art  Department's  activities  has  been  a  series  of 
exhibits  of  student  work  in  the  Carter  Hall  exhibition  area.  In  1959  we  were  for- 
tunate in  obtaining  Carter  Hall  for  this  purpose,  and  in  being  able  to  design  the 
location  and  color  of  bulletin  board  backgrounds  for  display.  Since  that  time  we 
have  added  hanging  frames,  covered  with  colored  burlap,  in  order  to  make  further 
use  of  the  space  of  the  hall.  New  furniture  has  added  to  the  attractiveness  of  the  area. 
Since  I960  we  have  featured  a  continual  display  of  changing  exhibits  throughout  the 
school  year.  The  first  exhibit  of  the  1961-62  season  consisted  of  the  first  selections  for 
the  college  student  art  collection,  together  with  the  museum  reproductions  of  paint- 
ings. This  was  followed  by  an  exhibit  of  the  first  art  work  of  all  classes.  Several 
showings  were  held  of  work  accomplished  in  the  art  major  courses  —  Advertising 
Design,  Fashion  Illustration  and  Interior  Design.  During  Father-Daughter  Weekend 
senior  students  exhibited  oil  paintings,  watercolors  and  drawings.  Later  in  the  spring 
Crafts  work  was  displayed  —  ceramics,  weaving,  jewelry  and  block-printed  textiles. 


LASELL  LEAVES 


In  May  there  was  an  exhibit  of  Faculty  art  work,  as  well  as  the  Annual  Freshman 
Art  Exhibit.   The  Annual  Senior  Art  Exhibit  was  reserved  for  Commencement  Week. 

Exhibits  have  proven  of  value  to  art  classes  for  purposes  of  evaluation  of  work 
accomplished  and  they  have  been  a  source  of  encouragement  to  art  students.  Girls 
not  enrolled  in  the  art  curriculum  have  expressed  much  interest  in  the  exhibits,  and 
this  carries  out  one  of  the  original  purposes  of  the  program  —  to  welcome  the 
interest  in  Art  of  all  students.  Another  purpose  of  our  endeavor  is  to  provide  a 
stimulating  center  and  focal  point  for  College  visitors  and  guests. 

At  present  there  are  four  instructors  in  the  Art  Department:  Mrs.  Elizabeth 
Iarrobino,  Miss  Amelia  Terrazano,  Mr.  Donald  Warren  and  Miss  Jacquelin  Saunders, 
Chairman.  Twelve  separate  courses  are,. offered  in  the  Art  Curriculum;  Color,  Line 
and  Design  is  available  to  Retailing  students,  and  Art  for  Childhood  Education  is 
a  part  of  the  Child  Study  program.  Three  majors  within  the  art  curriculum  are  Ad- 
vertising Design,  Fashion  Illustration  and  Interior  Design,  one  of  which  a  student 
elects  during  her  second  year  of  study. 

September  1962  begins  the  second  year  of  a  revised  curriculum.  Changes  offered 
the  opportunity  to  extend  the  study  of  the  History  of  Art  to  two  years,  to  extend 
the  work  in  Crafts  to  a  full  year,  to  extend  Figure  Drawing  courses  to  cover  one  and 
a  half  years,  and  to  place  the  course  of  specialization  mentioned  above  in  the  second 
year.  In  addition,  art  students  now  have  the  opportunity  to  elect  a  greater  number 
of  courses  in  Liberal  Arts.  Basically,  these  revisions  provide  a  course  of  art  study 
that  is  strong  in  the  Liberal  Arts  tradition,  but  also  includes  an  introduction  to 
specialized  vocational  training. 

One  of  the  major  objectives  of  Lasell's  Art  Department  is  "to  develop  the 
student's  understanding  of  the  theory  and  practice  of  successful  visual  expression, 
either  for  personal  or  professional  use."  In  the  future,  the  Department  plans  to  rent 
traveling  exhibits  and  to  invite  Alumnae  as  well  as  local  artists  to  participate  in  the 
program. 

The  Art  faculty  hopes  to  announce,  in  June  1963,  the  first  recipient  of  the 
Annual  Purchase  Prize  in  Art.  This  prize  will  be  awarded  to  a  student  for  an  art 
work  of  considered  excellence,  and  this  drawing  or  painting  will  become  a  permanent 
part  of  the  College  Student  Art  Collection.

Dr.  Tewksbury  with  1902's  Reunioners: 

Georgie   Duncan   Seavey,  Bessie   Fuller 

Perry  and   Cora  Stone  Trimmer. 


1887  -  1907 

Commencement  greetings  were  received 
from  Lasell's  oldest  graduate,  Mercy  Sinsa- 
baugh  Ingalls  '87,  and  from  Nelly  Feagles 
Kattelle,  Edith  Howe  Kip,  and  Grace  Wash- 
burn Hoskins  of  the  Class  of  1897. 

Georgie  Duncan  Seavey,  Bessie  Fuller  Per- 
ry and  Cora  Stone  Trimmer,  celebrating 
their  60th  Reunion,  were  luncheon  guests  at 
the  home  of  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Tewksbury.  Re- 
grets were  sent  by  the  following  1902-ers: 
Mary  Buffinton  Chace,  Grace  Bullock 
Gorham,  Ellen  Chase  Wood,  Laura  Chase, 
Hattie  McGregor  and  Alida  Walter  John- 
son. 

Notes  from  members  of  the  Class  of  1907 
include: 

Elizabeth  Peirce  Bittenbender:  "A  niece 
is  being  married  that  day,  so  it  will  be  im- 
possible to  accept  the  kind  invitation  to 
luncheon.  My  sister,  Mildred  Peirce  Wise 
'06,  had  a  delightful  time  with  you  both 
last  year.  My  two  years  at  Lasell  will  always 
be  remembered  with  pleasure  and  the  friends 
made  there  will  always  be  treasured." 

Daisy  Gilbert  Buck:  "Do  hope  Cornelia 
Eaton  Sutton  and  I  will  be  able  to  join  you 
on  June  9,  1962." 

Fern  Dixon  Leahy:  "Regret  that  I  will  not 
be  able  to  accept  your  kind  invitation  to 
luncheon   on   June   the   ninth.   My   thoughts 


and  good   wishes   will   be  with  you  on  that 
happy  day." 

Carre  Fuller  Eldridge:  "It  is  most  kind 
to  invite  the  members  of  the  Class  of  1907 
to  the  President's  Home  for  luncheon  on 
Alumnae  Day.  I  am  a  member  'by  courtesy' 

—  I  was  a  'special'  student  at  the  Seminary 

—  or  what  Dr.  Bragdon  called  'an  unfinished 
product'.  Very  best  wishes  to  all." 

Lilian  Douglass  Heeb:  "Regret  I  cannot 
be  in  Auburndale  in  June  —  I  shall  be  on 
a  trip  to  Canada  and  the  Seattle  Fair.  With 
much  pleasure  I  remember  the  delightful 
tea  with  Mrs.  Tewksbury  at  your  home  last 
fall.  It  is  always  gratifying  to  hear  of 
Lasell's  growth." 

Carrie  Sessions  Dodge :  "Regret  very  much 
that  I  am  unable  to  accept  the  luncheon  in- 
vitation. Mr.  Dodge  and  I  are  joining  friends 
at  White  Sulphur  at  that  very  time.  Do  wish 
I  could  manage  at  some  future  date  to  visit 
Lasell.  Know  I  would  find  all  the  improve- 
ments most  interesting  and  exciting.  Very 
best  good  wishes  to  all." 

Helen  Carter  Johnson:  "Regret  I  am  so 
far  away  from  Lasell  and  seldom  have  an 
opportunity  to  revisit  the  College.  Am  look- 
ing forward  to  a  July  visit  with  my  former 
roommate,  Florence  Stark  Hoyt  x-'08.  Best 
wishes  always  to  Lasell." 

Etta  Handy  was  enjoying  a  European  tour 
at  Reunion  time.

Mrs.  J.  Tracy  Colby 

(Clara  Parker),  Secretary 
8  High   Street,  Goffstown,  New  Hampshire 

Twelve  members  of  the  Class  of  1912  and 
one  Special,  Grace  Douglass  Schindler,  met 
for  our  successful  50th  Reunion  on  June 
9th.  It  was  a  perfect  June  day  in  Auburn- 
dale,  and  we  were  luncheon  guests  at  the 
home  of  President  and  Mrs.  Blake  Tewks- 
bury. 

Here  are  a  few  of  the  notes  written  to 
you  who  were  not  able  to  join  us: 

Dear  Girls,  It  seemed  like  old  times  to 
see  so  many  of  our  class  at  our  Fiftieth  Re- 
union, but  we  missed  the  ones  who  could 
not  come.  I  am  looking  forward  to  meeting 
you  at  our  75th.   Love  to  all, 

Dorothea  Africa 

Dear  1912,  It's  just  like  old  times  and 
everybody  looks  the  same  only  wiser  and 
more  mature.  Here's  hoping  we  are  all  here 
for  the  75th.   Love  to  you  all, 

Ruth  Bachelder  Luscombe 

Dear  "Girls"  of  1912,  We  are  having  a 
really  wonderful  reunion,  the  only  thing  to 
make  it  better  would  be  to  have  the  absent 
ones  here.  However  we  have  enjoyed  hav- 
ing the  many  nice  letters  from  those  of  you 
who  couldn't  come.  Lasell  is  lovely  as  usual 
and  this  is  a  perfect  Commencement  week- 
end. Best  to  all.  Ruth  Coulter  Bierer 

Dear  Girls,    We're  having  just  the  best, 

happy  time  and  have  missed  those  of  you 

who  could  not  come.  See  you  in  five  years. 

Miriam  Flynn  Speth 

Dear  Girls,  Here  we  are  sitting  in  Dr. 
Tewksbury's  delightful  home  having  our 
little  meeting.  We  all  are  fine,  no  wheel- 
chairs in  sight.  We  do  miss  you  all  and 
hope  we  can  all  get  here  for  our  75th. 
Bunny  Lincoln  Biers 

(Bunny  had  just  returned  from  a  trip  to 
Spain  and  Portugal.) 

Dear  Girls,  We  missed  you  all  and  you 
all  missed  a  fine  luncheon.  Marjorie  and 
Jane  are  staying  with  me  and  renewing  old 
times,  don't  really  feel  as  old  as  we  are. 
Good  luck  and  love  to  you, 

Rosalthe  Williams  Picard 

Ten  letters  and  notes  from  1912  and  fine 
answers  from  Specials. 

Agnes  Adelsdorf  Weil  writes  that  she  is 
very  sorry  she  can't  be  with  us  as  her  hus- 
band is  very  ill.  She  has  lived  in  New 
York  City  for  thirty  three  years  after  living 
in  California.  She  says,  "All  this  time  I 
have  kept  up  singing,  inspired  originally 
by  our  Miss  Goodrich  at  Lasell.  About 
fourteen  years  ago  I  started  singing  in  hos- 
pitals, giving  programs  in  the  wards  —  fi- 
nally concentrated  on  Bellevue  Hospital 
where  adult  patients  had  no  recreation  of 


any  kind."  She  is  Chairman  of  Medical  and 
Surgical  Recreation.  Her  daughter  Agnes, 
her  husband  and  four  children  live  in  Green- 
wich, Conn.,  but  are  moving  to  Washing- 
ton, D.C.  She  says,  "I  have  had  many  trag- 
edies in  my  life,  the  loss  of  my  first  hus- 
band, my  son  at  the  age  of  23  —  but  can 
still  feel  the  joy  of  life  —  and  believe  that 
the  years  at  Lasell  made  me  self  reliant  and 
eager  to  pursue  interests  outside  myself." 
My  love  to  you  all.   Ever,  Agnes. 

r  Emily  Butterworth  Pritchard  and  her  hus- 
band live  in  Clearwater,  Florida,  enjoy  it 
very  much,  have  an  apartment  overlooking 
Clearwater  Bay.  She  says,  "A  great  tragedy 
entered  our  lives  a  year  ago.  We  lost  our 
younger  boy.  Many  of  you  have  had  sim- 
ilar sorrows  and  know  what  it  means.  He 
left  three  lovely  children  and  we  are  de- 
voted not  only  to  them  but  to  his  little  wid- 
ow, who  is  carrying  on  very  bravely.  They 
live  in  Columbus,  Ohio.  My  love  and  very 
best  wishes  to  all  of  you  and  if  ever  anyone 
of  you  comes  to  this  neck  of  the  woods  do 
look  me  up." 

Hi  Everybody,  Am  sorry  that  you  all 
couldn't  have  been  with  us  at  Lasell. 
We've  had  a  very  nice  reunion  and  the 
Tewksburys  were  most  hospitable  to  us 
old  "girls."  It  was  good  to  have  news  from 
so  many  of  you  who  couldn't  come  but 
wish  there  had  been  more  letters.  If  any  of 
you  are  in  Philadelphia,  please  let  me 
know.  My  telephone  number  is  Chestnut 
Hill  7-4878.   Best  to  each  of  you. 

Annie  Merrill  David 

Dear  "Girls",  I  am  in  Florida  from  De- 
cember 1st  until  the  first  of  May  at  1301 
N.  Fenell  St.,  Plant  City,  Florida. 

Ethel  Moore  Richardson 

Dear  Girls  of  1912,  We  have  had  a  won- 
derful day  for  our  reunion,  a  delicious 
lunch  at  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Tewksbury's.  It  was 
such  fun  to  see  those  who  were  here  and  en- 
joyed hearing  from  those  who  could  not 
come.  Emily,  I  hope  we  can  get  together  in 
Florida.  I  have  a  friend  in  Clearwater; 
when  I  visit  her  I'll  look  you  up.  It's  a 
pretty  nice  place  to  live,  isn't  it?  Marjorie 
and  I  are  staying  with  Rosalthe,  will  stop  to 
see  Marjorie  on  the  way  home.  Hope  we 
can  get  together  in  another  five  years.  Love, 
Jane  Parsons  Westervelt 

Dear  Everyone  of  our  1912  Class,  How 
we  wish  you  were  with  us  to  renew  that 
glorious  day,  Monday,  June  11,  1912,  when 
tears  flowed  so  freely  —  remember?  One 
interesting  thing  today  was  to  see  the  Class 
of  1902  who  ate  lunch  with  us.  They 
looked  younger  than  we  do !  The  President 
of  the  Alumnae  urged  us  to  be  here  for 
our  75th.  Keep  well  —  all  good  wishes  to 
each  and  everyone.   Lovingly, 

Marjorie   Risser   Blackwell

Luncheon  Guests  at  the  home  of  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Tewksbury  —  Delegates  from 
the  Classes  of  1902  and  1912.  The  50th  Reunion  group  includes:  Marjorie  Risser 
Blackwell,  Rosalthe  Williams  Picard,  Clara  Parker  Colby,  Ruth  Coulter  Bierer, 
Ethel  Moore  Richardson,  Jane  Parsons  Westervelt,  Bernice  Lincoln  Beers,  Mary

Flynn     Speth,     Dorothea     Africa    and     Grace     Douglass    Schindler. 


Hi,  all  of  you  who  could  not  meet  with 
us  today.  We  have  had  such  a  wonderful 
reunion  and  delightful  luncheon  with  Dr. 
and  Mrs.  Tewksbury  at  their  home.  And  we 
look  pretty  young  too.  Love  and  best  wishes 
to  you  all.  Clippy  —  there  are  three  others 
who  use  canes.    Pretty  good? 

Mary   Starr   Utter  Maxson 

Elizabeth  Edson  writes  "Since  I  have  the 
dubious  distinction  of  being  the  only  un- 
married member  of  the  Class  of  1912  (not 
so,  Elizabeth)  I  do  not  have  an  immediate 
family  to  report  on.  I  do  have  a  cousin, 
Peter  Edson.  a  newspaper  columnist  in 
Washington.  He  has  a  charming  wife  and 
two  dear  little  girls  who  are  a  joy  to  me 
and  in  whom  I  take  a  real  grandmotherly 
interest."  Elizabeth  took  a  two-year  secre- 
tarial course  at  Columbia  University  but 
did  not  work  until  1925.  Then  for  10 
years  she  was  in  the  office  of  John  D.  Rock- 
efeller, Jr.,  followed  by  six  years  in  Wil- 
liamsburg. In  19-13  she  went  to  Washington 
where  she  has  been  ever  since,  worked  in 
the  State  Department  in  the  section  dealing 
with  Latin  American  affairs.  She  retired 
about  four  years  ago,  but  is  still  busy  three 
days  a  week  in  the  library  of  a  Veteran's 
Hospital,  one  day  a  week  in  another  hospi- 
tal, taking  a  course  in  French  conversation 
and  active  in  the  Unitarian  Church's  many 


activities.  She  has  kept  in  touch  with  Char- 
lotte Lesh  Coats,  visited  Charlotte  and  her 
husband  Roy  in  Indianapolis  last  year  and 
the  year  before  and  had  a  good  visit  this 
spring  with  Charlotte  and  her  sister  Helen 
when  they  went  through  Washington. 

May  Goodwillie  Townsend  was  sorry  not 
to  be  able  to  come  to  Lasell.  She  says,  "Our 
daughter  lives  in  New  Jersey  but  we  man- 
age to  visit  them  two  or  three  times  during 
the  year  which  is  lots  of  fun.  The  seven 
grandchildren  are  growing  up  fast  —  two 
are  already  at  the  college  age.  My  love  to 
all  the  'girls'.  I  would  love  to  have  been 
with  them  today.  It  has  been  so  many  years 
since  I  have  seen  any  one  of  our  class." 

Mildred  Hall  Leber  was  not  well  and 
could  not  come  to  the  reunion.  I  saw  her 
and  her  husband,  Dr.  Leber,  in  Florida  this 
past  winter  and  she  was  very  well  and 
looked  just  fine.  (CPC) 

Orra  Hammond  Pomeroy  wrote  that  she 
could  not  come  to  our  50th  reunion. 

Florence  Jones  Allen  writes  "I  am  very 
sorry  that  I  cannot  be  at  Lasell  with  you  to 
enjoy  seeing  each  one  of  you  amid  the  old 
surroundings  I  loved  so  much  in  the  very 
happy  days  at  school."  Her  daughter,  Nan- 
cy, who  married  Mary  Starr's  son,  Max, 
live  in  Charlotte,  North  Carolina.  They 
have     three     children,     Kathryn      (another

Jonesy)  Billy,  and  Nancy.  Their  son  Tom, 
with  his  wife  and  two  children  —  Nancy  and 
Bobby,  live  in  Hinsdale.  Florence  and  her 
husband  went  to  Winter  Park,  Florida,  but 
came  back  to  Birmingham,  Michigan,  where 
they  bought  a  smaller  house.  Address,  2348 
Northlawn  Drive. 

Marion  Joslin  Oppenheimer  says  "Would 
so  love  to  see  all  you  girls  again  at  Lasell 
and  Boston,  but  as  you  know  it  is  impos- 
sible for  me  to  travel  alone."  We  saw  them 
at  Long  Boat  Key,  Clippy  looked  wonderful, 
but  had  to  use  a  cane.  She  says,  "Will  had 
his  pocket  picked  as  we  boarded  the  plane 
coming  home.  The  next  week  wallet,  driv- 
er's license,  etc.  were  returned  by  mail  from 
Tampa  —  all  intact  except  $80.00  cash. 
Honor  among  thieves!!" 

Charlotte  Lesh  Coats  writes  "Since  I  can't 
be  with  you  here  is  a  word  picture  —  I'm 
plumper  by  several  pounds,  grayer,  tho'  not 
white  yet,  not  very  agile,  wrinkled  round 
face.  Anyway  I'm  happy  and  busy  and  en- 
joying life.  Have  just  returned  from  a  trip 
to  Pennsylvania  and  Washington,  D.C., 
coming  home  by  way  of  Williamsburg. 
Elizabeth  Edson  went  to  Williamsburg  with 
us  so  we  had  a  good  visit.  She  is  very  well 
and  good  fun  to  be  with.  Our  only  child 
lives  south  of  Los  Angeles.  She  has  a 
daughter  and  two  sons.  I  used  to  think  I 
worked  very  hard,  but  I'm  exhausted  when 
I  hear  what  she  does  each  day.  There 
never  seems  to  be  enough  hours  in  the  day 
to  do  all  the  things  I  want  to  do.  Now  if 
you  want  to  know  anything  more  about 
me  you'll  have  to  come  to  7210  Washing- 
ton Boulevard,  Indianapolis,  to  find  out." 

Elinor  Ryan  Hixenbaugh  writes  "It  has 
been  so  long  since  I  was  in  touch  with  any 
of  you.  I  suppose  I  should  give  a  brief 
biography.  To  go  back  fifty  years,  I  mar- 
ried a  student  from  the  University  of  Ne- 
braska whom  I  met  on  the  Ford  Peace  ship. 
We  used  to  joke  that  our  children  were  the 
only  tangible  results  of  that  Expedition.  We 
have  two  sons,  the  older  one  lives  near  us 
at  Melbourne  Beach  and  has  two  sons  ■ — 
one  entering  the  University  of  Florida  this 
fall.  The  other  son  lives  in  Pittsburgh  and 
has  two  girls  and  two  sons.  They  get  down 
to  see  us  about  every  year."  After  Elinor 
and  her  husband  retired  in  1959  they  took 
a  six  months  trip  to  Europe,  then  came  to 
Florida.  They  moved  in  January  I960  "when 
like  a  bolt  out  of  the  blue  came  my  stroke, 
paralyzing  my  right  side."  She  has  recov- 
ered sufficiently  so  that  she  can  do  most 
things  around  the  house  with  the  help  of  a 
cane.  They  feel  they  have  a  delightful  life, 
only  three  miles  from  Cape  Canaveral 
where  so  many  interesting  people  live  and 
so  many  things  are  going  on. 


Clara  Trowbridge  says  "I  regret  ex- 
ceedingly that  I  will  not  be  able  to  attend 
the  reunion.  I  had  looked  forward  to  it 
during  the  year,  but  I  have  an  invitation  to 
go  with  three  other  friends  to  the  West 
Coast.  We  are  planning  to  be  gone  from 
Memorial  Day  until  July.  Give  my  best  to 
everyone.  May  the  years  deal  kindly  with 
you  and  give  you  all  happiness  and  content- 
ment." 

Barbara  Clark  Colby  states  "I  am  so  in- 
volved with  the  World's  Fair  here  in  Seat- 
tle I  ,will  not  be  able  to  attend  the  50th 
reunion." 

Grace  Douglass  Schindler  attended  the 
50th  reunion  and  we  were  all  glad  to  see 
her. 

Hazel  Drew  Adair  could  not  attend. 

Frances  May  Holdman  says,  "I  do  hope 
that  each  and  everyone  will  have  a  won- 
derful time." 

Sara  E.  Shuttleworth  Howert  writes  "I 
hope  the  reunion  is  a  great  success.  Sorry 
I  cannot  attend." 

Pearl  Townsend  spent  four  years  in 
Teachers  College,  Columbia  University, 
graduating  in  1916.  For  eight  years  she 
taught  Home  Economics  in  Normal  School, 
public  school  and  college,  three  wonderful 
years  at  Tift  College,  Forsyth,  Georgia. 
She  then  came  home  but  has  been  very  busy 
and  happy  working  with  many  organiza- 
tions. She  wishes  she  were  nearer  Mary 
and  her  brother  and  their  children  and 
grandchildren.  "To  those  who  do  not  know 
where  Greenwich,  New  York,  is  we  are 
about  forty  miles  north  of  Albany  and  sev- 
enteen miles  east  of  Saratoga  Springs.  A 
welcome  is  out  to  any  of  you  who  may  drive 
this  way.  Best  wishes  for  a  successful  and 
happy  Reunion."

Mrs.  H.  B.  Collins 

( Nell  Woodward ) ,  Secretary 
39  Lincoln  Street,  Manchester,  Mass. 

News  gleaned  from  the  Class  Letter  re- 
ceived in  August  1962: 

Ida  Laubenstein  Moyer's  husband  wrote 
the  glad  news  that  Ida  is  much  better  this 
year  than  last,  for  which  we  all  are  most 
thankful. 

Martha  Schumann  Laubenstein  is  busy 
as  ever  with  her  large  family. 

Katherine  Bingaman  Heron  enclosed  a 
picture  of  her  lovely  new  daughter-in-law 
so  we  know  she  is  to  be  congratulated. 
Katherine  and  her  sister,  Mary  Hannah 
(Bingaman  '14)  are  busy  with  trips  and  al- 
ways seem  to  find  many  old  Lasell  friends 
wherever  they  go.  Florida  seems  to  be  a 
Mecca  for  Lasell  girls!

Elizabeth  Beach  Bierer,  in  her  letter, 
planned  upon  a  trip  to  Spain  and  we  won- 
der if  she  did  have  that  wonderful  experi- 
ence. Next  letter  will  tell. 

Ada  Patterson,  we  are  sorry  to  say,  is 
housed  pretty  much  with  arthritis,  a  weak 
heart,  and  diabetes;  but  the  good  sport  that 
she  is,  she  writes  that  she  still  enjoys  all 
the  many  trips  she  took  in  the  past.  How 
fortunate   she   is    to    have   such   memories ! 

Bess  Emerine  sent  a  fine  picture  of  her- 
self holding  the  very  little  son  of  Bess' 
Godson.  Bess  faces  an  eye  operation  in  the 
not-too-far  future  and  we  wish  her  our  best 
for  a  speedy  and   successful   recovery. 

Florence  Evans  Valpey  enjoys  seeing  Ma- 
ria Riker  Hume  '09  whenever  Maria  comes 
to  Cincinnati  to  visit  her  daughter. 

Margrethe  Bauman  told  of  a  letter  from 
Edna  Christensen  Beckwith  who  was  flying 
with  her  husband  to  Copenhagen,  Denmark 
to  attend  a  friend's  wedding. 

Catherine  Carter  Rasbach  wrote  a  won- 
derfully interesting  letter  describing  a  re- 
cent trip  through  the  Hawaiian  Islands.  The 
word  pictures  she  painted  made  us  all  wish 
we  might  catch  the  next  boat. 

Myrtle  Brix  Spangler  is  just  as  busy  as 
ever  not  only  with  her  grandchildren,  but 
with  all  the  little  refugee  children  she  and 
her  committee  are  trying  to  place  in  homes 
here  in  our  country  for  International  Social 
Service. 

Katherine  Hoag  Norgren  and  her  husband 
had  an  interesting  visit  recently  with  a  for- 
mer coach  of  the  University  of  Chicago, 
Mr.  Stagg,  who,  in  August  will  celebrate 
his  100th  birthday. 

Gladys  Wilkes  McCutchen  and  her  hus- 
band are  enjoying  their  retirement  years  in 
a  new  little  home  in  Waco,  Texas  (6106 
Caldwell  Dr.)  The  pictures  she  sent  are 
lovely  and  show  that  Gladys  is  the  same 
dear  girl. 

Ethel  Murray  Kuykendall  and  her  hus- 
band certainly  are  enjoying  life  and  real 
living,  taking  each  day  as  it  comes.  They 
are  a  fine  example  to  follow! 

Irene  Apfelbaum  Livingstone's  daughter- 
in-law,  Myra,  has  recently  published  another 
book:  "See  What  I  Found." 

Clara  Paton  Suhlke  is  our  Class  Politician 
and  we  should  add,  our  Official  Greeter  to 
all  the  many  Lasell  friends  who  seek  Flor- 
ida sunshine. 

Ida  Beane  Rice  is  the  President  of  "Friends 
of  Framingham"  —  a  group  of  people  inter- 
ested in  helping  women  who  become  side- 
tracked along  the  road  through  life.  Ida  is 
helping  to  raise  funds  to  build  a  Halfway 
House  that  will  allow  gradual  transition 
for  released  prisoners. 

Evelina  Perkins  is  happy  in  the  Deacon- 
ess   Home    —    always    busy    and    planning 


for  others'  good  times.  In  October  she  is 
having  the  D.A.R.  meeting  of  her  chapter 
there  at  the  Home  so  the  other  guests 
there  may  share  in  it.  Perk  also  hopes  to 
get  to  Florida  in  time  for  the  Lasell  Lunch- 
eon at  Ft.  Lauderdale. 

Vilette  Peck  Crawshaw  is  busy  taking 
care  of  a  relative. 

Sara  Lane  Wilton,  x-'15,  is  happy  as  ever 
in  her  little  Rockport  home.  Sara  and  her 
husband  are  joining  Harry  and  me  at  a  pic- 
nic, and  we  wish  more  might  be  with  us. 

Madeline  Farmer  Ryder,  x-'15,  repre- 
sented our  class  at  the  Tenth  Birthday  of 
the  Lasell  Alumnae  Fund  held  at  Lasell  on 
April  6th  and  7th.  Madeline  is  a  loyal  La- 
sell daughter  if  ever  there  was  one ! 

Nell  Woodward  Collins  and  husband 
Harry  are  just  the  same.  They  have  not  ac- 
complished anything  unusual  themselves 
but  are  basking  in  the  glory  of  their  son's 
and  granddaughter's  near  mastery  of  Mt. 
Fuji  in  Japan.  They  were  within  2000  feet 
of  the  summit  when  the  lack  of  oxygen 
forced  them  to  quit.  But  that's  the  time 
to  use  common  sense  and  we  are  relieved 
they  used  it!

Mrs.  H.  M.  Brennan 

(Jessie  Shepherd),  Secretary 

160  E.  48th  Street,  New  York,  N.Y. 

Jess  Shepherd  Brennan  reports  a  fine  No- 
vember visit  —  "luncheon  and  gab-fest"  ■ — 
with  Helen  Saunders.  The  Brennans  will 
spend  the  holidays  in  New  Hampshire,  and 
she  sends  "Best  good  wishes  to  one  and 
all." 

And  of  the  New  York  visit  Helen  Saun- 
ders reports:  "Also  saw  Nora  Haywood 
Rodd,  and  was  sorry  to  have  missed  —  by 
only  a  few  days  —  Julia  Lipps,  who  was  in 
Virginia.  It  was  fun  catching  up  on  the 
news  —  and  the  good  old  Lasell  spirit 
ran  high." 

For  the  benefit  of  1917-ers,  who  may  have 
missed  the  September  issue  of  the  Leaves, 
we  repeat  the  notes  from  Marjorie  Morrison 
Coburn,  who  kindly  took  care  of  reunion 
mailing  and  questionnaires: 

Wilda  Berkey  Cartland  x-'l6:  Just 
couldn't  make  it  —  would  like  to  hear  from 
our  Class  —  25  Charlestown  Street,  Clare- 
mont,  N.  H.  Greetings  to  all  who  remem- 
ber her. 

Florence  Bell  Merrill:  Recovering  from 
hospital  visit.  Active  in  outside  and  family 
affairs. 

Mid  Strain  Nutter:  Fractured  pelvic  bone 
April  19th.  Invited  all  to  the  annual  pic- 
nic at  her  summer  home  in  Pocasset  on

Commencement   Luncheon  —  1962 

Ruth  Burnap  Jones:  Just  returned  from 
trip  to  Virginia,  Washington,  D.  C,  Mon- 
ticello  and  New  York  City.  Ruth's  hus- 
band's   reunion   plans   coincided    with    ours. 

Dorothy  Redmond  Jones  had  just  re- 
turned from  Pennsylvania,  New  York  and 
Massachusetts.   Sent  greetings  to  all. 

Gertrude  Allen:  New  address:  825  Coral

Alice  Jenks  Nickerson:  Away  the  week- 
end of  Commencement.  Her  husband  now

Eugenia  Skinner  Shorrock:  Arrived  in 
time  for  luncheon  and  Crowning  of  Queen, 
then  returned  to  Alton  Bay  where  she  is  for 
the  summer.  She  operates  a  general  store, 
real  estate  office,  is  a  Justice  of  Peace,  and 
owns  a  wild  animal  farm. 

Helen  Lesh  Zerfas:  Recently  returned 
from  a  trip  with  her  sister  and  husband 
to  Washington,  D.C.,  Williamsburg  and 
through  Virginia.  Asked  especially  for  the 
whereabouts  of  Lillian  Laffey  Scott.

she  and  Max  were  leaving  by  plane  for 
Seattle  World's  Fair. 

Helen  Stephen  Sterley:  189  North  Man- 
or Avenue,  Kingston,  New  York.  Sorry

call  from  Edith  Holman  Dolliver  x-'17. 
Edith's  address  is  2544  East  Third  Street, 
Long  Beach  14,  California.  Saw  Jess  (Shep- 
herd Brennan)  in  New  York  and  visited

Lloyd  Avenue,  Providence,  Rhode  Island, 
since  the  passing  of  my  husband  in  '59. 
Spend  summers  in  Lake  Forest,  Illinois. 
Thanks  to  all  for  answering  my  notes. 


1922 

Mrs.  George  S.  Harris 

(Marjorie  Lovering),  Secretary 

3   Lovering  Road,  West  Medford,  Mass! 

Mrs.  A.  B.  Shoemaker 

(Phyllis  Rafferty),  Assistant 

315     San    Juan    Road,    Watsonville,    Calif. 

I  was  never  so  proud  of  the  Class  of  1922 
as  on  Alumnae  Day  when  I  announced  our 
Reunion*  Gift  to  the  1962-63  Alumnae 
Fund     of    $552.50    from     24    contributors. 

A  note  of  thanks  has  come  from  "Mac"  — 
and  I  am  convinced  we  do  not  look  our 
years  for  she  refers  to  our  35th  Reunion. 
At  times  I'm  sure  we  didn't  act  our  years 
during  That  Day  —  the  best  reunion  we've 
ever  had.  We  only  know  that  those  of 
you  who  so  sincerely  wanted  to  be  with 
us  were  greatly  missed.  We  had  replies 
from  33  of  our  remaining  61  members.  '22 
always   was   and   always   will    be   GREAT. 

News  from  those  who  returned: 

Carolyn  Badger  Seybolt:  She  is  a  most 
gracious  person.  A  daughter  and  two 
grandsons  agree  with  her. 

Iverna  Birdsall  Lutze  came  with  her  hus- 
band —  most  co-operative  as  our  only 
"photographer,"  and  a  most  willing  chauf- 
feur. 

Dorothy  Caldwell  Jordan:  Her  two  sons 
and  a  daughter  bring  seven  active  grand- 
children to  the  house.  She  has  decided 
not  to  take  a  position  at  Northeastern  Uni- 
versity —  just  relax  a  bit. 

Harriette  Case  Bidwell:  Running  around 
in  circles  is  Casey's  forte.  Her  youngest, 
Jane,  was  to  be  married  on  July  7th;  her 
other  daughters,  Sarah  and  Charlotte,  have 
a  compliment  of  four  children  so  one  can't 
grow  old  that-a-way.  Casey  took  over  the 
arrangement  of  our  class  insignia  —  white 
roses  with  '22  green  labels. 

Violet  Comley  Peirce:  We  were  glad  Vi 
could  make  the  luncheon.  A  family  of 
two  boys,  a  girl  and  an  engagement  party 
kept  her  away  from  the  evening  affairs. 

Sarah  F.  Crane:  It  is  always  so  nice  of 
Sarah  to  come  from  Vermont.  She  is  the 
same  quiet-spoken  Sarah. 

Florence  Day  Wentworth:  Whatever 
would  Reunion  be  without  Flossie!  Her 
plea  to  Phyllis  to  "please  eat  a  bit  of 
lunch,  dear"  brought  forth  a  "can't  because 
I'd  rather  talk";  the  use  of  her  gay  flow- 
ered hat  as  a  centerpiece  at  our  most  suc- 
cessful dinner  party  at  The  Simpson  House; 
and  her  statement  that  she  could  "see  a  fly 
ten  miles  away  without  glasses"  just 
brought  one  laugh  after  another. 

Grace  Gates  Brown:  Two  daughters  and 
a  son  —  and  you  didn't  mention  grand- 
children, or  did  you? 


LASELL  LEAVES

From   1922 


Marjorie  Gifford  Grimm:  Yes,  George 
was  there,  and  enjoyed  Reunion  as  much 
as  the  rest  of  us.  And  how  proud  they  are 
of    Nancy    and     their     doctor-son,     Gifford. 

Josephine  Holbrook  Metzger:  Now 
there's  a  loyal  Lasell  girl.  She  was  among 
the  first  to  be  with  Phyllis  when  she  ar- 
rived on  the  East  Coast  to  make  final  the 
end  of  a  long  journey  for  "Medico." 
Daughter  Lynn  (Metzger  Pharo  '45)  has  two 
darling  children. 

Eleanor  Knight  Bowering:  Because  of  her 
continuing  profession  as  an  organist,  she 
couldn't  make  the  luncheon.  Arrived  in 
time  for  dinner  and  it  was  good  to  have 
her  join  the  party. 

Marjorie  Lovering  Harris:  Proud  of  Ann 
(Harris  Hughes  '55)  and  two  grandsons  in 
nearby  Bedford,  and  son,  Dean.  Most 
grateful  for  the  kind  hospitality  of  Toni 
(Meritt  '23)  and  Wilder  Smith  for  their 
"open  house,"  and  sending  sincere  thanks 
to  all  who  helped  make  our  40th  a  huge 
success;  to  husband  and  Dad  for  tolerat- 
ing phone  calls,  letter-wiring,  and  the  pile 
of  data  assembled  on  the  dinner  table;  and 
to  Ann  —  an  extra  thank-you  for  decipher- 
ing and  typing  this  report. 

Elizabeth  Madeira  Campbell:  We  couldn't 
ever    get    along    without    her    droll    humor. 


When  she  appeared  at  Plummer,  sporting 
dark  glasses,  a  call  from  Casey  to  "take  off 
those  glasses,"  brought  a  return  of  "can't, 
they're  hiding  the  bags  under  my  eyes."  She 
and  Laurence  are  ever  travelling. 

Phyllis  Rafferty  Shoemaker:  Last,  but 
certainly  far  from  least.  A  wonderful 
trip  East  —  arrived  in  New  Jersey  on  May 
6th  —  on  to  Boston  for  the  Trustees' 
Meeting  and  Pops;  and  then,  try  to  find 
her  for  the  next  two  weeks  —  here  and 
there  in  Maine,  Cape  Cod  and  all  of  Great- 
er Boston.  I'm  sure  when  "Mac"  McClel- 
land called  to  the  parading  reunioners: 
"we'll  go  this  way  —  it  will  be  easier 
for  you,"  and  Phyllis  answered,  "we're 
lucky  we  can  walk,"  she  was  referring  to 
the  mileage  covered  in  the  New  England 
states.  She  was  awarded  "the  most  distant 
travelling"  prize  —  a  book  of  Colonial 
Boston  by  Marjorie  Rhoades  Ross,  whom 
we  wished  might  have  presented  the  gift 
in  person.  My  thanks  to  Phyllis  for  her 
share  of  letter-writing,  and  for  her 
thoughtfulness  in  sending  the  delicate  lei 
direct  from  Hawaii. 

And  —  now  —  the  news  of  classmates 
who  couldn't  make  Reunion: 

Frances  Angel  Levenson:  Had  accepted 
and  at  the  last  moment  family  plans  made 


22 


LASELL  LEAVES 


it  impossible  to  attend.  She  caught  up  on 
Lasell  news,  when  she  attended  the  wed- 
ding of  Miriam  Chollett  Bershon's  son. 
Frances  and  her  husband  travel  on  business 
to  Tokyo,  Amsterdam  and  many  European 
cities. 

Vera  Clauer  Hans:  Every  day  is  a  busy 
one  for  Vera,  but  she  promises  to  be  on 
hand  for  our  45th. 

Ethelle  Cleale  Collett:  Close  ties  at  Lasell 
with  Nancy  Collett  Hendricks  '47  and  Linda 
'60,  now  attending  the  University  of  Maine. 
A  threesome  of  Colletts  for  Lasell. 

Miriam  Dailey  Taylor:  Three  daughters 
and  seven  grandchildren,  plus  a  host  of 
committee  activities  give  her  a  fine  out- 
look. She  says,  "I  don't  mind  growing  old 
as  long  as  I  keep  my  health  —  but  40  years 
out  of  Lasell  —  WOW!" 

Naomi  Davis  Jones:  Telephoned  Jo  Hol- 
brook  Metzger  and  sent  love  and  a  sincere 
wish  she  might  have  come. 

Virginia  Emmott  Orr:  A  trip  to  Ohio 
cancelled  Reunion  plans. 

Jean  Field  Faires:  Now  why  did  you  have 
to  visit  the  hospital  on  June  9th?  Phyllis 
stopped  to  visit  en  route  home,  so  we  know 
you  had  a  detailed  report.  We  missed  you, 
Jean. 

Helene  Grashorn  Dickson:  We  were  so 
sure  rain,  hail  or  snow  wouldn't  keep  you 
from  Reunion.  It  was  not  the  6V^  grand- 
children; business  is  business. 

Cecile  Loomis  Stuebing:  Has  not  been 
back  since  1923.  Daughter,  Sally,  has  two 
little  daughers;  son,  Ted,  recently  married 
most  happily  to  a  "tailor-made"  family. 
We'll  have  to  talk  Marge  Loomis  Colling- 
wood  '21  and  Sis  into  returning  in  '67. 

Edrie  Mahaney  Rathburn:  So  sorry  your 
plans  didn't  work  out.  Better  luck  next 
time. 

Marjorie  Norris  England  x-'22;  And  Sau- 
gus  is  so  nearby  .  .  .  we  had  high  hopes. 

Mabel  Rawlings  Eckhardt:  We  too  were 
disappointed  that  back  kept  your  "driving 
foot"  from  the  go  pedal. 

Margaret  Reid  Perry:  We  were  sorry 
other  plans  kept  Peg  in  New  York,  but  we 
were  grateful  for  the  wonderful  picture  of 
her  and  Nels.  Golf,  hospital  work  and  trav- 
elling certainly  agree  with  Peg. 

Thelma  Schweitzer  White:  Thelma  gets 
the  prize  —  eight  grandchildren.  Son, 
George,  plans  to  take  over  the  drug  store 
for  "Serge." 

Barbara  Smith  Huntington:  No  one  tried 
harder  to  arrange  a  trip  to  Auburndale 
than  Babs,  but  loyal  daughter  that  she  is 
to  our  good  friend,  Mrs.  Smith  Corbin,  it 
wasn't  a  wise  move.  Babs  continues  to 
teach  voice  and  music,  and  in  addition 
keeps  busy  as  "cook,  laundress,  gardener, 
chauffeur  and   what-have-you." 


Edna  Starrett  Mathewson :  A  July  trip 
to  Boston  cancelled  Lasell  plans.  I  hope  to 
contact  Edna  when  she  is  visiting  her 
daughter. 

Dorothy  Smith  Stefanides:  Busy  with  a 
family  of  three  —  "all  four-legged." 

Louise  Stevens  Prince:  It  is  heartbreak- 
ing indeed  to  write  sad  news  in  a  Reunion 
report.  Our  deepest  sympathy  to  Louise, 
to  her  mother,  Mrs.  William  Stevens,  to 
Janet  White  MacLure  '49  and  to  Marilyn 
Prince  Karcher  x-'49.  Louise's  sister,  Mari- 
on Stevens  White  Webber  '21  and  her 
husband,  Dr.  Samuel  R.  Webber,  were 
drowned  in  a  boating  accident  near  Calais, 
Maine  on  May  30,  1962. 

Elizabeth  Tarr  Benton:  Can't  blame  her 
for  not  turning  down  the  trip  to  Italy, 
Switzerland,  Germany,  Holland  and  Eng- 
land. 

Theresa  Thompson  Osborne:  To  know 
that  Don  is  an  excellent  believer  in  follow- 
ing doctor's  orders,  and  to  learn  that  you 
have  been  appointed  a  Trustee  of  the 
College  is  wonderful  news.  And  it  was  a 
"heart-warming     and     jolly     get-together." 

Marie  Washburn  Higgins:  Well,  now  .  .  . 
how  about  having  an  obstetrician  in  the 
family  and  having  sister  come  home  to  be 
under  his  care.  I  am  sure  you  were  needed 
at  home,  but  we  were  sorry  you  were  not 
able  to  attend  the  graduation  from  Lasell 
of  your  niece,  Pamela  Washburn  '62. 

Mary  Lou  Weymouth  Thompson:  You 
and  Theresa  must  get  together  five  years 
from  now  — -  make  it  one  car  from  Belfast. 

Olive  Whitehead  Denker:  Family  mat- 
ters rightfully  deserve  priority.  So  sorry 
you  were  not  with  us. 

Lilian  Wood  (Pierce)  Wood:  The  turn 
of  events  does  work  in  various  ways  —  now 
you  are  a  "Wood"  again.  Do  correct  the 
lady  who  chastised  you.  We  all  can  fully 
realize  your  busy  days  as  executive  sec- 
retary of  the  Wheaton  College  Alumnae 
Association. 

And  in  closing  ...  a  most  sincere  thank 
you  to  all  who  so  kindly  contributed  to 
the  Alumnae  Fund;  and  that  includes  our 
Honorary  1922-er,  Helen  Gresley,  as  gra- 
cious and  as  loyal  as  any  Lasell  graduate, 
and  so  much  a  part  of  our  Reunions;  and 
an  extra  thank  you  to  one  and  all,  who 
helped  to  make  1922's  40th  Reunion  a 
wondrously  happy  day.

1927 

Mrs.  David  Rosen 

( Rosalie  Brightman ) ,  Secretary 

404  Beacon  Street,  Boston,  Mass. 

The  35th  Reunion  of  the  Class  of  '27  was 
filled  with  a  warmth  and  spirit  that  almost 
compensated  for  the  lack  in  numbers. 
Attending  were:  Georgia  Parrish  Campbell 
'26,  Esther  Josselyn,  Ruth  Woodman  Hig- 
ginbotham,  Rosalie  Brightman  Rosen,  Cath- 
erine Worrall  Flint  '28,  Letty  Krause  Eyer, 
Rosanna  McConnell  Wallis,  Nan  Pagin 
Page,  Betty  Almy  Lincoln. 

From  Minnie  Remick  Dandison  —  a  pic- 
ture and  a  note  telling  us  that  she  and 
Basil  had  just  returned  from  Europe  for 
she  was  going  "to  take  care  of  her  grand- 
child while  another  one  arrives  in  the 
world."  "While  taking  care  of  my  pre- 
cious grandson,  another  daughter  arrives 
from  California  for  the  summer  and  my 
son,  a  Lieutenant  in  the  Marine  Corps,  com- 
pletes his  3-year  service  and  plans  to  go  to 
graduate  school." 

Eugenie  McEdwards  Bunting  tells  us 
that  she  has  five  grandchildren  also  that 
"Jeannie  is  still  home  with  us  and  finishing 
her  Junior  year  at  high  school.  She  was 
with  us  in  Laos  for  16  months  —  and  in 
Bangkok  for  two  after  we  were  evacuated 
from  Laos.  Travelling  to  and  from  Asia, 
plus  the  experiences  we  had  in  Laos,  were 
most  enjoyable.  Now  I  am  having  the 
pleasure  of  presenting  programs  on  Laos 
to  Women's  Clubs  throughout  the  State  ■ — ■ 
I  learned  how  to  take  pictures  while  there 
and  got  some  very  good  colored  slides  of 
people  and  conditions  in  Southeast  Asia. 
Our  oldest  son  has  his  own  law  office  and 
is  the  first  legally  trained  magistrate  in 
Cranbury.  The  other  two  boys  live  in  the 
Chicago  area." 

Madalyn  Patten  Hoberg  tells  us  that 
her  husband  is  still  very  active  in  the  prac- 
tice of  law  but  that  they  did  get  away  for 
a  Mediterranean  cruise  this  spring.  "My 
mother  comes  from  Maine  each  fall  to 
spend  the  winter  and  then  returns  East 
in  the  spring.  Our  daughter  lives  close  by 
in   San    Francisco   and    has    two    children." 

Christine  Oby  Jones  says:  "although  Can- 
ton is  still  our  official  home,  we  spend 
about  three  months  a  year  in  Ft.  Lauder- 
dale where  we  have  a  house.  We  also  have 
a  boat  which  we  are  about  to  bring  up  the 
Intracoastal  Waterway  up  the  Hudson  Riv- 
er and  the  Barge  Level  to  Buffalo  and 
then  across  Lake  Erie  to  Cedar  Point." 

In  a  letter  to  Rosie  McConnell  Wallis, 
we  learned  that  Pauline  LeClaire  Reiter  left 


Grandma   Minnie   Remick  Dandison  '27 
and   Andrew 


in  May  for  a  trip  to  the  Near  East  ■ — ■ 
Egypt,  Syria,  Lebanon,  Jordan,  Israel  and 
Greece  with  a  tour  of  the  Greek  Islands. 

At  the  luncheon  it  was  announced  that 
the  Class  of  1927  had  made  a  generous  con- 
tribution to  the  1962-63  Alumnae  Fund  in 
memory  of  our  good  friend,  the  late  Mari- 
esta  Howland  Bloom  '26.  After  the  lunch- 
eon and  much  talk,  we  wandered  around 
to  our  various  houses  —  Carpenter,  Clark, 
and  Gardner,  comparing  and  reminiscing 
and  reliving  the  all  too-short  days  we  had 
spent  there.  The  Crowning  of  Lasell  Queen, 
always  a  beauty  (and  this  year  no  excep- 
tion ) ,  was  followed  by  a  lawn  reception 
where  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Tewksbury  welcomed 
and  received  in  their  specially  cordial  way. 

We  held  our  Reunion  dinner  at  the 
"Pillars"  where  we  shared  a  charming  room 
with  reunioning  1932.  With  our  own 
green  and  gold  Class  colors  and  flowers, 
we  were  festive,  the  dinner  was  delicious, 
and  fun  was  had  by  all. 

On  Sunday  afternoon  —  all  reunioning 
classmates  were  invited  to  my  home  for 
cocktails,  where  we  continued  to  catch 
up  on  the  doings  in  our  lives  and  reminded 
each  other  of  so  many  almost-forgotten 
incidents  at  Lasell. 

Thus  ended  our  35th.  We  all  agreed 
that  the  years  had  been  kind  and  that  we 
were  easily  recognized.  Let  us  hope  that  5 
years  from  now  we  shall  be  as  intact  as  a 
Class  and  that  many  more  will  return. 
There  is  more  to  tell  about  classmates,  but 
I  shall  save  that  portion  for  the  next  issue 
of  the  Leaves.

And  Who's  Talking  at  the  End  of  the  Table? 


1932 

Mrs.  H.  R.  Macy 
( Katharine  Hartman ) ,  Secretary 
Cold  Spring  Harbor,  New  York 

Natalie  E.  Park,  Assistant 
73  Goden  Street,  Belmont,  Mass. 

Thanks  to  a  "personal"  contact  at  Lasell, 
The  Class  of  1932  were  assigned  The 
Alumnae  Lounge  (located  on  the  second 
floor  of  Plummer)  for  Reunion  Day.  There 
we  met  —  coffee-d  -  gabbed  -  and  "lined 
up"  for  Luncheon.  Attending  were  Edie 
Parsons  Booth,  Julia  Case,  Helane  Jones 
Pressel,  Thelma  Macfarland  Bates,  Bib 
Page  Sealey,  Marge  Tarbell  Quandt,  Elinor 
Small  Domina,  Louise  Russell  Heusen, 
Gertrude  Hooper  Ring,  Gertrude  Dupuis 
McGrath,  Natalie  Park,  Katharine  Hartman 
Macy.  Carolyn  Sproat  Spigner  was  accom- 
panied by  her  daughter,  Flora  Spigner 
Collier  x-'6l;  Betty  Parrish  Newman  came 
with  her  sister  Georgia  Parrish  Campbell 
'26  and  Ruth  Kniep  Blanchard's  Father, 
Mr.  T.  C.  Kniep  braved  the  gabby  crowd. 
The  Pillar  House  in  Newton  Lower  Falls 
was  the  scene  of  our  joint  dinner  gathering 
with  the  Class  of  1927.  Fran  Turner  Sleigh, 


Muriel  Morse  Henrich,  Marge  MacClymon, 
and  Betty  Parrish'^  daughter,  Patricia  New- 
man x-'63  joined  us  there. 

The  day  was  all  too  short  —  but  a  most 
happy  one.  We  missed  each  and  every  ab- 
sent one  —  how  about  next  time,  please? 
News  from  the  questionnaires: 
Helen  Fitch.  Foley:  "And  now  I  am  a 
grandmother !  My  eldest  daughter,  Connie 
(who  lives  in  Syracuse,  N.Y.)  has  two 
adorable  boys  —  James  Scott,  age  2,  and 
Thomas  Philip,  age  4.  My  oldest  boy,  Wil- 
liam —  we  call  him  "Bud,"  was  married 
two  years  ago  and  is  finishing  his  second 
year  at  the  University  of  Maine  —  after 
spending  4  years  in  the  Air  Force  as  an 
instructor  of  Basic  Radio  —  Radar  and 
Electronics  at  Biloxi,  Mississippi.  Elizabeth 
—  or  "Libby"  —  is  a  second  year  student 
at  Gorham  State  Teachers  College.  Judy  is 
a  Junior  at  Portland  High  School  and  hopes

see  that  I  do  not  have  much  time  for  any- 
thing else!  So  sorry  I  cannot  be  with 
you   and   the   other  girls    (and   I   do   mean

girls!)  this  year  —  will  be  looking  forward 
to  1967!" 

Mildred  J.  Guyett:  "My  hobby  is  taking 
trips.  I  do  enjoy  travelling  and  seeing 
the  country." 

Lou'se  Russell  Heuser  x-'32:  "My  husband 
passed  away  suddenly  April  23,  1962.  I 
have  been  working  for  some  time  now  as 
department  manager  for  silverware,  clocks, 
and  watches  in  Gilchrist  Company,  Boston, 
Mass.  Mary  Louise,  my  daughter,  is  married 
and  living  in  Scituate,  Mass.  William  R.  is 
with  the  Air  Force  in  North  Africa  and 
David  is  stationed  in  Germany." 

Agnes  Metcalf  Connon:  "May  not  get 
to  the  Reunion  because  my  son  may  be 
home  on  leave  at  that  time  and,  needless 
to  say,  I  want  to  be  with  him.  It  would, 
however,  be  nice  to  see  you  all  —  really 
doesn't  seem  possible  that  thirty  years  have 
passed.  I  am  still  living  in  New  Vernon, 
New  Jersey  and  have  one  son  presently  at 
the  Great  Lakes  Training  Center.  My  main 
interest  is  still  my  music.  For  the  past  few 
years  have  been  teaching  piano  (my  last 
training  being  at  Lasell).  Now  have  about 
25  pupils  so  that  keeps  me  busy  every 
afternoon.  In  the  summer,  of  course,  I 
enjoy  the  garden.  My  days  of  P.T.A.  have 
gone  so  I  fill  in  the  time  with  church 
work.  I  was  pleased  to  have  Babe's  daugh- 
ter visit  me  recently.  She  is  doing  graduate 
work  at  Rutgers.  I  talked  to  Mr.  Whitney 
on  the  phone  not  long  ago.  He  is  a  really 
remarkable  gentleman.  If  any  '32ers  live 
near  by  or  are  passing  through  I  would 
be  so  happy  to  see  you.  Have  fun  at  the 
Reunion  and  I  will  be  thinking  of  you  all." 

Gene  Loomis  Flagler:  "Just  back  from  a 
quick  trip  to  Texas  —  my  husband  and  I 
met  at  my  sister's  home,  Cecile  Loomis 
Stuebing  '22.  With  my  sister,  Margaret 
Loomis  Collingwood  '21,  we  drove  to 
Houston  and  had  a  reunion  for  Mother, 
who  celebrated  her  89th  birthday  in  April. 
Sorry  I  can't  be  with  you  this  time  —  my 
best    to    all    and    have    a    good    Reunion." 

Thelma  MacFarlane  Bates  reports  that 
her  daughter  Barbara  will  be  a  member 
of  Lasell's  Class  of  '64. 

Janet  McCartney  Abel  x'32:  "Betsy  Jane

Marshall  College." 

Betty  Clark  Fryling:  "Wayzata  Country 
Club  - — ■  a  real  golf  whiz !  Pink  Lady  at 
Methodist  Hospital.  Bowling  ■ —  bridge  — 
those  long  winters.  Just  finished  Cancer 
Drive,  Residential  Chairman  for  Hopkins 
—  whew!  Would  love  to  know  the  where- 
abouts of  Peg  Lovell  Jackson." 

Ruth  Kniep  Blanchard  x-'32:  "Met  my 
Lasell  roommate  Betty  Clark  Fryling  in 
New   York   two   years   ago    after   she   had 


moved  from  California.  It  was  the  first 
time  I  had  seen  her  since  1942.  Do  wish 
Mary  Lib  McNulty  McNair  would  make 
Reunion.  We  have  been  here  since  last 
August.  Moved  from  Pennsylvania  where 
we  have  lived  since  1946.  Hope  to  see  you 
June  9th." 

Libby  Page  Sealey:  "Girl  Scout  Work. 
Church  Fair.  Will  make  a  fourth  at  bridge 
anytime.  Only  trips  for  us  are  to  Canada  to 
visit  Neil  and  Mary  who  are  attending 
schools  in  New  Brunswick." 

Marjorie  Tarbell  Quandt:  "Back  in  I960 
I  remarried  after  being  a  widow  for  four 
years.  My  husband  has  a  seventeen-year- 
old  son  who  is  with  us  and  a  Junior  at 
Arlington  High  School.  I  am  still  a  "career 
gal,"  now  working  as  a  bookkeeper  with  a 
local  construction  company.  It  is  a  little 
change  after  twenty-five  years  in  banking. 
If  I  had  time  for  a  hobby,  it  would  be 
photography  but  our  home  life  occupies 
most  of  my  spare  time  and  is  my  prime 
interest.  We  have  enjoyed  two  wonderful 
trips,  one  by  car  through  Canada  visiting 
the  Gaspe,  P.E.I,  and  Cape  Breton;  the 
other  by  air  to  California  and  Mexico.  It 
is  good  to  have  a  travelling  companion 
after  doing  it  so  many  years  "solo."  Elea- 
nor Ronimus  Dawber  is  leaving  May  8th 
for  a  business  trip  to  Europe  with  her 
husband,  who  is  a  doctor  with  the  U.S. 
Public  Health  Service." 

Enid  Jackson  Giles:  "Extremely  disap- 
pointed not  to  be  able  to  get  East  in  June 
for  the  doings  .  .  .  had  really  great  hopes 
of  making  this  30th.  An  occasional  week- 
end in  New  Jersey  and  New  York  is  the 
best  I  can  do  from  this  distance.  Recently 
stayed  with  Esther  Gilbert  in  New  York. 
Happily  she  is  one  of  my  daughter's  god- 
mothers, and  we  keep  in  touch.  Since  mov- 
ing to  the  Cleveland  area,  have  become  ac- 
tive in  the  League  of  Women  Voters,  and 
the  West  Shore  Concerts  Women's  Com- 
mittee which  sponsors  the  Cleveland  Sym- 
phony on  this  side  of  the  city.  Despite 
many  cultural  advantages,  and  a  splendid 
school  system,  we  still  miss  old  friends  and 
the  more  familiar  surroundings  of  New 
York,  and  its  environs.  Expect  another 
railroad  merger  will  take  us,  it  would  ap- 
pear at  the  present  time,  to  Roanoke,  Vir- 
ginia.  Say  a  big  hello  to  everyone."

with  you  on  our  Thirtieth  Reunion,  I  shall 
be  thinking  of  all  of  you  and  shall  start 
making  plans  for  '67.  Marianna  is  to  be  a

1937 

Mrs.  Charles  A.  Higgins,  Jr. 

( Louise  Tardivel ) ,  Secretary 
150  Hickory  Road,  Weston,  Mass. 

The  25th  Reunion  of  the  Class  of  1937 
was  held  at  my  home  in  Weston  on  a  beau- 
tiful Saturday  night.  Cocktails  and  dinner 
were  enjoyed  by  one  and  all  —  56  to  be 
exact.  The  idea  of  including  "best  boy- 
friends" proved  a  huge  success.  An  added 
touch  to  the  festivities  was  the  surprise 
gift  sent  by  Babe  Beamer  Dahlberg  — 
orchids  from  Hawaii  for  everyone  and  silver 
dollars  for  The  Alumnae  Fund.  Everyone 
was  so  pleased  that  a  telephone  call  was 
made  to  Hawaii  to  thank  her.  She  sounded 
just  the  same  as  ever.  The  other  highlight 
of  the  evening  was  the  showing  of  movies 
furnished  by  Bunnie  Alves  MacEwan.  We 
were  delighted  to  receive  a  telegram  from 
Class  Advisor  "Miss  Eliasson"  (Karin  Eli- 
asson  Monroe  '31).  We  were  happy  to 
know  her  "Hank"  has  been  promoted  to 
the  rank  of  Admiral  and  is  now  serving  as 
Assistant  Chief  of  Naval  Operations  (Na- 
val Reserve).  Without  further  adieu,  here 
is  the  news  gleaned  from  our  Reunion 
questionnaire  — •  I  still  hope  to  hear  from 
those  of  you  who  did  not  return  the  blank. 

Dorothy  Acuff  Stone  is  living  in  Darien, 
Connecticut,  and  is  a  busy  Mother  to  her

skiing,  and  has  taken  a  few  freighter  trips. 

Frances  Austin  Ferris  is  enjoying  her 
new  home  in  Bedford  (Mass.)  and  keeps 
very  busy  with  her  16-year-old  son  and  her 
14-year-old  daughter.  Fran  is  the  chief 
dietitian  at  the  Symmes  General  Hospital 
in  Arlington. 

Babe  Beamer  Dahlberg  writes  that  her 
hobbies  are  "the  children"  —  Charles  Wil- 
liam, 19,  a  Sophomore  at  the  U.S.  Air 
Force  Academy  in  Colorado,  James  Lee,  15, 
and  two  daughters  aged  12  and  13,  my 
Dad,  90  years  young,  our  business  and  an 
occasional  'Hi  Darling'  to  my  Texas-born 
husband  —  twenty-one  years  of  marriage 
this  past  April  3rd.  Member  of  Hawaii 
Chapter  #\  Order  of  Eastern  Star  of 
which  I  am  a  past  Matron  (1954)  and  to 
which  is  dedicated  "The  Eastern  Star 
Prayer"  (a  musical  composition  —  words 
and  music  by  my  Mother,  Helen  Desha 
Beamer,  Past  Matron  1944).  I  have  in- 
cluded this  information  for  some  of  the 
'37ers  may  also  be  Stars.  Any  Kappas  in 
the  group?  I  am  a  KKG  —  University  of 
Washington  '39"

Our  travelling  classmates  are  "at  it 
again."  It's  difficult  to  keep  track  of  Gert 
Fischer.  In  May  1962  she  was  in  South 
America,  and  the  early  fall  found  her  once 
again  in  Europe.  "Ten  days  in  Austria  — 
each  day  and  night  of  the  first  week  in  dif- 
ferent cities.  The  Sunday  finale  in  Vienna 
was  tremendous,"  writes  Gert,  "morning 
Mass  with  the  Vienna  Boys  Choir;  Spanish 
Riding  School  demonstration;  a  perform- 
ance of  'Aida'  with  four  outstanding  leads, 
among  them  Leontyne  Price." 

Berna  Bishop  Richards  writes:  "Son 
Steve  has  done  extremely  well  in  pistol

in  the  Middle  Atlantic  Championship  Re- 
gional at  Quantico,  Virginia.  In  .38  pistol 
he  won  two  first  place  trophies  and  one 
second.  His  first  match  in  .22  weapons  he 
won  four  out  of  five  first  place  trophies. 
He  entered  the  Nationals  at  Camp  Perry 
Otis,  where  he  placed  in  five  of  ten  sep- 
arate events  in  a  field  of  736  competitors. 
Steve  also  passed  the  Red  Cross  Senior 
Lifesaving  Course  and  has  been  a  lifeguard 
at  a  large  apartment  house  pool.  Paul  is 
now  Chief  of  Human  Reliability  Program 
for  the  entire  Air  Force.  The  new  assign- 
ment is  a  most  enjoyable  one  —  tho'  it 
involves  a  great  deal  of  travelling."

set,  introduced  her  to  the  directors,  who 
offered  her  a  part  in  the  series  too. 

My  vacation  took  me  across  the  country 
—  but  I  headed  for  Seattle  to  visit  the 
family  and  The  Fair.  Early  in  October  I 
moved  from  Brooklyn  to  a  new  apartment

What  a  wonderful  time  we  had  June  9th 
on  the  occasion  of  our  15th  Reunion!  Al- 
though the  attendance  was  not  as  high  as 
we  would  have  liked  and  had  hoped  it 
would  be  (half  of  our  numbers  live  in  New 
England  and  more  than  half  of  that  num- 
ber reside  in  the  Bay  State).  However, 
what  we  lacked  in  numbers  was  made  up 
in  spirit  and  jollity. 

Many  of  us  gathered  for  coffee  at  Alum- 
nae Headquarters  and  attended  the  catered 
luncheon.  The  afternoon  flew  by  with 
visits  to  old  dorms,  attending  college 
events  and  just  talking,  talking,  and  more 
talking.  By  six  we  gathered  at  The  Mari- 
dor,  enjoyed  a  delicious  dinner,  and  stayed 
until    quite    late    talking,    reading    letters. 


perusing  our  class  scrapbook,  showing 
snaps,  and  talking  some  more. 

Each  one  of  us  wore  a  white  carnation 
and  took  home  a  Lasell  ashtray  as  a  sou- 
venir. Bookends  were  given  to  Californian 
Joan  Sloat  Ziggins  and  a  key  ring  was  giv- 
en to  Joan  Jones,  who  came  from  Florida. 

Most  of  the  news  items  below,  listed

Dear  Gals, 

It  was  with  •  mixed  emotions  that  Pete 
and  I  left  New  England  for  the  State  of 
New  Jersey.  I  was,  of  course,  sorry  to  have 
to  resign  as  first  vice-president  of  Lasell 
Alumnae  Inc.,  but  Peter's  new  assignment 
with  A.T.&T.  in  New  York  City,  made  the 
leaving  a  little  easier. 

We  enjoyed  a  number  of  Lasell  visitors 
at  our  summer  place  in  Gilmanton,  N.H. 
Lois  Schaller  Toegemann,  husband  Joe, 
sons  Artie  and  Tommy,  and  daughter  Lisa 
stayed  with  us  for  a  weekend.  Later  in  the 
summer  Nancy  Bean  Lord  and  Jack,  with 
their  three  children,  came  over  from  Maine 
for  a  few  days. 

Since  coming  to  Westfield,  I've  seen  El- 
len Key  Woodruff,  who  lives  but  two  miles 
away.  Her  new  address  is  73  Lupine  Way, 
Sterling,  N.J.  Sister  Joyce  Davies  Harrison

"Had  a  surprise  visit  from  my  Lasell 
roommate,  Ruth  Mount  Ivins,  on  October 
7th  (amidst  the  big  storm).  She  and  her 
husband  were  celebrating  their  12th  wed- 
ding anniversary,  but  unfortunately  chose 
a  wet  weekend  to  see  the  colorful  leaves 
and  sights  in  New  England.  Ruth  tells  me 
that  her  sister,  Betty  Mount  Carduner  '53, 
is  fine  and  has  two  school-age  children. 
One  of  their  Hightstown  (N.J.)  friends,

"While  shopping  in  a  local  grocery  store, 
met  Jean  Applegate  Rockwood  and  her 
oldest    daughter,    who    towers    over   mother. 

"Often  see  Jackie  Paulding  Hauser;  hear 
regularly  from  Claire  Dodge  Davis;  and, 
being  so  close  to  Auburndale,  often  run 
into  Lasell  students  and  graduates.  Louise 
Dawe  Turner  '53  is  very  active  in  church 
and  P.T.A.  affairs;  Bernice  Van  Name 
Petrone  '57  and  husband  are  members  of 
our  church  choir. 

"While  visiting  in  New  Jersey,  I  attended 
a  school  sale  and  dinner,  where  I  saw  Vir- 
ginia Benham  Wolf  '49.  She  and  my  sister 
Barbara  (Snook  Haggerty  '48),  work  to- 
gether at  their  local  P.T.A. 

"Our  cousin,  Jane  Edsall  Jacobs  '48,  and 
husband  'Jake'  have  had  a  great  deal  of 
pleasure  with  their  two  lovely  daughters. 
Jake  operates  a  very  successful  restaurant, 
Friar  Tuck  Inn,  and  I  am  sure  many  Lasell 
gals  have  attended  parties  and  meetings  at 
his  father's  restaurant  in  Montclair  —  the 
Robin  Hood  Inn.

Hi  Kids, 

It  has  been  months  since  we  were  last 
together  and  we  wonder  what  each  of  you 
is  doing.  How  about  you,  Sue  Petrie  Bou- 
dreau?  And  —  Jane  Fallona  Sheehan  —  a 
picture  of  the  baby  girl?  What's  with  you 
working  girls  and  students? 

No  matter  where  you  are  or  what  you 
are  doing,  we  know  you're  anxious  for  news 
of  friends  in  the  Class  of  1962.  So  come  on 
gang,  send  the  information  and  we'll  print 
it.  Send  pictures  of  weddings,  children, 
or  just  Lasellites.  (Glossy  prints,  black  and 
white,  preferred). 

Hope  you  had  an  exciting  summer.  Do 
let  us  hear  from  each  and  every  one.  Write 
NOW  to  one  of 

Your  Secretaries 
P.S.  REMEMBER  the  LEAVES  will  be 
coming  our  way  this  year  —  the  Class  Gift 
to  the  Alumnae  Fund  makes  each  of  us  a 
paid-up  member  of  the  Alumnae  Associa- 
tion for  1962-63.  Send  in  news  and  news 
and  news  and  news  and  news  and  let's 
have  a  long,  long,  long,  long  column  for

Our  Round  Robin  is  still  travelling 
around  reasonably  well.  It  goes  from  north 
to  south  and  crosses  the  country  and  back 
in  just  under  two  years  now.  Do  keep  it 
going  and  do  keep  me  informed  to  whom 
it  goes. 

Early  in  the  summer,  Judith  Burbank 
Brown  x-'19  called  on  me  at  Harwichport. 
I  had  not  seen  her  since  1916  so  I'll  have 
to  admit  that  I  did  not  recognize  her  on 
sight.  We  had  a  very  interesting  "gab 
fest"  about  the  good  old  days.  She  had 
seen  in  the  Leaves  that  I  was  always  at 
Harwichport  in  the  summer  so  she  decided 
to  look  me  up  when  she  was  there  on 
vacation.  I  hope  other  Lasellites  will  do 
that  when  on  the  Cape. 

Marion  Griffin  Wolcott,  Freda  Griffin 
Leining  '20,  and  Marian  Beach  Barlow 
made  their  annual  trip  to  Harwichport  in 
August  and  then  we  all  went  to  Mildred 
Strain  Nutter's  '17  home  for  her  annual 
Lasell  picnic. 

I  was  in  Amherst  in  October  and  I  tele- 
phoned Helen  Nichols.  She  told  me  her 
mother  was  one  hundred  and  three  years 
old  and  she  was  just  about  to  take  her  out 
for  a  ride. 

The  Class  extends  sincere  sympathy  to 
Frances  Harris  Spear,  whose  husband 
passed  away  in  October.

1916's  Class   Baby 


Miss  Florence  S.  Kimball,  daughter  of 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Richard  M.  Kimball  has 
been  appointed  registrar  of  Mount  Holyoke 
College.  Miss  Kimball,  a  Mount  Holyoke 
alumna,  has  been  head  of  the  Harvard 
Alumni  Records  Office  for  the  past  11 
years  and  is  one  of  the  first  women  ever 
to  hold  a  Corporation  appointment  there. 
She  first  went  to  Cambridge  in  1947,  fol- 
lowing her  release  from  the  WAVES  after 
World  War  II,  to  take  charge  of  the  publi- 
cation of  the  1948  Harvard  Law  Quin- 
quennial directory.  As  Alumni  Recorder, 
she  has  since  been  responsible  for  the 
publication  of  three  Harvard  Alumni  Di- 
rectories and  maintaining  records  on  more 
than  125,000  living  alumni. 

After  graduation  from  Mount  Holyoke, 
Miss  Kimball  worked  for  a  consulting 
actuary  in  New  York  City,  then  served  for 
four  years  in  the  Navy  as  a  disbursing 
officer.  She  has  just  completed  20  years

Mrs.  David  Rosen 

(Rosalie  Brightman),  Secretary 

404  Beacon  Street,  Boston.  Mass. 

Dear  Girls, 

The  Christmas  xard  greetings  were 
warm  and  many  and  I  thank  you  all.  Mine 
were  never  sent  because  my  husband  be- 
came very  ill  in  December  and  we  had 
many  harrowing  weeks.  However,  he  has 
made  a  remarkable  recovery  and  we  are 
truly  grateful  for  his  improvement.  In 
the  last  issue  of  the  LEAVES,  I  promised 
to  continue  some  Reunion-gleaned  infor- 
mation. Here  it  is  .  .  . 

Elizabeth  Lloyd  Dean  writes:  "This  year 
my  youngest  of  three  children,  Martha, 
will  be  graduated  from  Friends'  High 
School  and  is  already  registered  to  attend 
Wheelock  College,  Boston.  Our  son  is  now 
Dr.  Dean  and  finishing  his  internship  in 
Grandview  Hospital,  Dayton,  Ohio.  Our 
daughter,  May  Ann,  is  completing  her 
Master's  in  Education  at  Rutgers  and  has 
an  interesting  and  challenging  position 
waiting  for  her  in  the  Extension  Service 
of  the  New  Jersey  Department  of  Agri- 
culture. I  am  still  employed  as  the  Execu- 
tive Secretary  of  the  Atlantic  County  as- 
sociation for  Mental  Health  and  am 
thrilled  with  the  strides  we  are  making  in 
public  acceptance." 

Lucy  Field  Wildman  regretted  she  could 
not  attend  the  Reunion,  unusual  for  Lucy 
who  has  attended  many.  Her  reason:  "My 
son,  Jerry,  finishes  his  Peace  Corps  training 
on  June  eighth  and  will  be  home  only 
ten  days  until  he  leaves  for  the  Philippines 
for  two  years.  My  hobbies  are  knitting 
and  needlepoint  and  now  I  am  a  member 
of  the  Valley  Weavers.  Of  course  we  go 
to  the  farm  in  Virginia  as  often  as  possible 
to  be  with  our  granddaughters." 

We  learn  that  Edith  Stone  Schure  never 
has  time  to  be  bored  with  life  between

local  woman's  club  and  does  volunteer 
work  in  the  hospital.  She  has  three  chil- 
dren, two  married,  and  has  three  grand- 
children. 

Peggy  Hitt  Perkins  tells  us  that  she  has 
three  sons,  two  married,  and  five  grand- 
children. She  has  made  the  Red  Cross 
Blood  Program  a  very  important  interest 
for  the  last  twelve  years.

Also  the  Verde  Valley  in  Arizona,  San

fishing,  gardens,  old  houses,  flowering  trees 
and  flower  arranging  are  our  hobbies.  "We 
keep  up  with  two  Weimaraners  and  a  long 
list  of  clubs  and  societies  which  revolve 
around  these  interests." 

Kay  Tufts  Wiese  writes  "We  came  home 
after  a  winter  in  Sarasota,  Florida,  and 
stopped  in  Charleston,  West  Virginia,  to 
see  Lucy  Field  Wildman  and  her  husband. 
Had  a  wonderful  visit  catching  up  on  all 
the  Lasell  news.  As  to  hobbies,  I  have 
been  collecting  sea  shells.  It  is  a  fascinat- 
ing hobby.  Also  took  lessons  in  copper 
enamel  work."  Kay  has  two  children,  a 
son  and  daughter. 

From  Sylvia  Chandler  Hooker  we  learn 
that  she  couldn't  attend  the  reunion  as  her 
husband's  niece  was  being  married  in  North 
Carolina  on  the  same  weekend.  She  says, 
"Last  week  we  spent  an  evening  with 
Evelyn  Suor  Butterworth  and  her  husband 
who  were  attending  a  medical  convention 
in  Boston  and  had  a  wonderful  time  rem- 
iniscing about  '26  and  '27. 

Our  Nan  Pagin  Page  who  attended  the 
Reunion  last  June  looking  just  marvelous 
had  a  very  unfortunate  accident  just  before 
Christmas.  She  was  preparing  to  come  to 
Boston  to  visit  her  son  for  the  Holidays. 
Unfortunately,  just  before  leaving  she 
slipped  on  the  ice  and  injured  her  back 
very  seriously.  After  being  hospitalized,  I 
have  heard  that  she  is  much  better  and  is 
making  a  fine  recovery. 

At  this  point,  I  would  welcome  pictures, 
news  etc.,  so  take  a  moment  one  day  and 
share  your  doings  with  us.

East  who  were  in  the  path  of  numerous 
hurricanes  over  the  years,  we  in  Oregon 
experienced  winds  up  to  110  miles  per

personal  events  in  1962:  First  I  bought  a 
small  two-bedroom  house  (bungalow)  at 
8802  Jefferson  Avenue,  La  Mesa,  Cali- 
fornia. It's  convenient  to  two  freeways, 
grocery  store,  and  bus;  has  a  nice  patio 
and  fruit  trees.  Only  fifteen  minutes  by 
auto  to  downtown  San  Diego. 

"Moved  into  the  house  the  middle  of 
June  and  had  been  there  only  one  month 
when  I  had  a  'stroke'  and  was  hospital- 
ized for  three  months.  Spent  one  month 
with  Peg  Jones  Howry  '38  and  family  and 
returned  to  my  own  home  the  middle  of 
November.  Since  then,  I  have  had  lunch 
with  Doris  Somerville  Krom  '40  and  Bar- 
bara Rymer  Cole  '48.  Mildred  Melgaard 
Rees  '21  and  husband  have  been  down  for 
a  brief  visit.  Their  son,  Tom,  was  elected

"To  those  who  sent  words  of  encourage- 
ment, my  heartfelt  thanks."

to  sell.  Barbara  has  worked  for  nearly 
two  months  creating  the  model  from  crude

I  enjoyed  tea  at  the  home  of  Linda  Nolin 
Ahern  with  her  sister,  Lucinda  Nolin 
Quigley  not  long  ago.  They  both  reside 
in  Arlington.  Though  only  a  recent  mem- 
ber of  the  Greater  Boston  Lasell  Club 
Board,  I  have  enjoyed  working  with  the 
group." 

From  Barbara  Jennings:  "Further  proof 
of  our  'small  world'  —  after  seven  years 
the  meeting  of  two  '55ers  in  Barbados, 
an  island  of  the  British  West  Indies.  Beryl 
Schelhorn  Frey,  while  standing  under  a 
swaying  palm  tree  in  the  moonlight,  sip- 
ping her  rum  punch,  turned  suddenly  and 
came  face  to  face  with  Bobbie  Jennings, 
standing  under  the  same  palm  tree  sipping 
her  rum  punch. 

Beryl,  her  husband,  her  mother  and  her 
two  children  (Tabetha  Gay,  age  4,  and 
Karl  Walter,  age  1)  spent  their  two-week 
holiday  in  the  relaxed  atmosphere  of  Bar- 
bados, a  tropical  English  colony  located 
in  the  Caribbean  Sea  near  South  America. 
Their  'flat'  was  located  on  a  white  beach, 
surrounded  by  palm  trees,  fruit  trees,  and 
numerous  flowering  shrubs.  Their  meals 
were  cooked  by  a  Barbajan  woman  who 
introduced  them  to  the  exotic  native  cook- 
ing common  to  the  West  Indies. 

Bobbie  has  become  a  native  of  the  Carib- 
bean Islands,  living  in  St.  Thomas,  Virgin 
Islands,  for  a  year  and  a  half  and  re- 
cently moving  to  Barbados.    After  leaving 


Eastern  Air  Lines  (stewardess)  and  the 
United  States,  she  went  on  a  world  tour  to 
gain  'an  education  through  people  and 
places.'  Her  plans  are  to  remain  in  each 
location  for  a  year  or  so,  working  and 
living  with  the  people  to  learn  their  way 
of  life.  In  St.  Thomas  she  lived  on  a 
sailboat  where  she  worked  coordinating 
the  many  sailing  and  fishing  charters  that 
left  from  the  yacht  harbor.  Often  she 
crewed  on  these  boats  and  thus  visited 
many  of  the  surrounding  Caribbean  Islands. 
On  days  off,  she  sat  on  the  beaches  and 
wove  palm  frond  hats  for  the  delighted 
tourists. 

Since  Beryl's  husband  works  for  Pan 
American  World  Airways,  Beryl  and  Bob- 
bie feel  that  another  chance  meeting  some- 
day, perhaps  Tahiti,  Japan,  or  Australia, 
is  not  really  that  far-fetched.  Beryl's  ad- 
dress is  193  Kildare  Road,  Garden  City, 
New  York.  Bobbie's  address:  Antilles 
Watersports,  Aquatic  Club,  Barbados,  West 
Indies."

The  1962  Holiday  Greetings  from  Lt. 
and  Mrs.  Larry  A.  Boyer  (Holly  Engel) 
deserve  extra  special  recognition.  The 
four-page  newsletter  "Boyer's  Barnacle" 
listed  family  activities  for  the  entire  year 
and  one  page  was  devoted  to  photos. 
From  Holly's  account  of  "Summer  at  the 
Shipyard":  "This  past  year  has  been  a  busy 
one  indeed  as  far  as  travelling  goes.  The 
first  of  April,  with  the  car  loaded  to 
capacity  and  just  enough  room  left  for  the 
three  of  us  to  squeeze  in,  we  took  off  for 
Mare  Island  Naval  Shipyard  in  Vallejo, 
California  (just  outside  of  San  Francisco). 
The  trip  was  an  eventful  one,  but  we  made 
it  there  safely. 

"We  had  a  two  bedroom  apartment  on 
the  base  which  some  plastic  curtains  and 
a  rug  fixed  up  in  a  hurry.  You  weren't 
trying  to  impress  anyone  with  your  origi- 
nality because  we  all  lived  in  the  same 
identical  places. 

"All  the  facilities  were  at  our  disposal. 
The  commissary  was  a  one  minute  walk 
to  the  corner,  with  the  movie,  exchange, 
pool,  golf  course,  'O'  Club,  just  a  hop 
in  the  car  away. 

"We  went  to  the  pool  frequently  and 
Davey  really  liked  that,  except  I  spent 
most  of  the  afternoon  chasing  him  around. 
Who  says  it's  relaxing! 

"Larry  and  I  did  manage  to  get  in  some 
golf.  I  took  a  series  of  lessons  in  hope 
that  I'd  be  able  to  beat  him,  but  lessons 
and  all  he  still  managed  to  win. 

"Indeed  life  was  not  dull!  We  gals  had 
our  bridge  games  during  the  day  while 
hubbies  worked  hard.  And  then  we  had 
our  evening  bridge  games,  and  managed 
to  see  a  few  good  movies  here  and  there. 
There  was  Bingo  at  the  'O'  Club  every 
Wednesday  night.  This  kept  me  busy  eve- 
nings while  Larry  was  working  on  his 
qualification  notebook. 

"On  the  weekends  we  managed  to  take 
a  few  close  to  home  trips.  We  picnicked 
at  Lake  Berryessa,  went  to  Sonoma  and 
visited  General  Vallejo's  home  and  the  old 
mission.  When  Aunt  Joy  came  to  see  us 
after  school  was  out,  we  made  the  trip  to 


Sacramento  and  visited  the  Capitol,  state 
buildings,  museums,  and  Sutters'  Fort. 
Since  Northern  California  is  such  grape 
growing  country,  we  visited  Christian 
Brothers'  Winery  and  enjoyed  the  tour."

LASELL  LEAVES 


Playing  Fields  from  Hills 


Since  the  founding  of  Lasell,  students  have  undoubtedly  strolled  along  the 
hogback  known  as  the  "Esker,"  a  geological  formation  dating  from  one  of  the 
glacial  periods.  At  the  base  of  its  natural  semicircle  is  Haskell's  Pond  where  girls 
have  secured  samples  of  algae  and  skated  for  generations.  A  footpath  wound  from 
Seminary  Avenue  behind  Bradgon  Hall  to  a  point  on  Grove  Street. 

(To  identify  the  location  more  specifically,  there  are  even  rumors  which 
cannot  be  verified  that  naughty  girls  sought  exercise  in  the  vicinity  while  they 
"sneaked  a  smoke"  in  the  days  when  cigarettes  on  campus  were  forbidden.) 

Lasell  students  were  only  trespassers  on  the  property  until  1939  when  the 
Board,  under  the  direction  of  Dr.  Guy  M.  Winslow,  bought  Haskell's  Pond  and 
two  adjoining  acres.  In  1958,  on  the  death  of  Miss  Mabel  T.  Eager,  long  a  Trustee, 
five  additional  acres  of  undeveloped  woodland  were  added  to  the  plot  by  her 
bequest. 

It  has  always  been  uncertain  what  useful  purpose  this  acreage  could  serve 
because,  under  the  terms  of  Miss  Eager's  will,  no  structure  could  be  erected  on 
the  property  for  35  years.  It  seems  clear,  then,  that  Miss  Eager  intended  that  the 
area  be  used  for  recreational  purposes. 

As  Lasell's  student  population  has  grown  to  650  girls,  the  one  playing  field 
available  for  physical  education  activities  in  the  Spring  and  Fall  has  become 
inadequate  —  to  the  point  that  activities  must  be  scheduled  during  the  lunch 
hour.  This  problem,  coupled  with  the  factor  of  open  land  scarcity,  led  the  Board 
to  explore  possibilities  of  utilizing  the  Esker. 

Engineers  first  determined  that  the  Esker  was  basically  composed  of  gravel; 
secondly,  that  about  280,000  cubic  yards  were  available  for  removal  if  the  area 
were  reduced  to  a  level.  Lastly,  reconstruction  of  Route  128  and  extension  of  the 
Massachusetts  Turnpike  in  the  vicinity  had  placed  a  premium  on  gravel  sources 
readily  available. 

To  make  a  very  long  story  short,  necessary  permits  were  secured  from  City 
authorities  and  bids  requested  from  all  interested  parties.  The  result  is  that  35,000 
truck  loads  of  gravel  will  be  removed  during  the  period  of  the  next  year  and  a 
half.  Top  soil  is  being  carefully  stockpiled  and  will  eventually  be  spread  to  provide 
a  surface  for  seven  acres  of  recreation  area,  the  equivalent  of  two  hockey  fields 
and  seven  additional  tennis  courts.  The  Pond  will  remain  in  much  its  present 
shape,  five  feet  below  the  play  area. 

Thus  another  goal  in  the  long-range  planning  of  physical  development  of 
the  campus  will  be  accomplished.

FIFTEENTH  ANNUAL  ALUMNAE  COUNCIL 
MEETINGS  .... 

The  Annual  Meeting  of  Lasell  Alumnae,  Inc.  .  .  . 

Friday  and  Saturday,  March  29  and  30,  1963,  were  the  dates  selected  for 
Lasell's  15th  Annual  Alumnae  Council  Session.  A  social  hour  in  Woodland 
Hall's  East  Lounge  preceded  Friday's  dinner,  enjoyed  by  seventy  alumnae  —  class 
agents  and  secretaries  and  representatives  from  ten  alumnae  clubs.  Seated  at  the 
head  table  were  President  and  Mrs.  Blake  Tewksbury,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Wilder  Smith 
(Antoinette  Meritt  '23),  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Ward  Manghue,  Alumnae  President  Bar- 
bara Iris  Johnson  '35,  and  special  guests,  Patricia  Raeder  Crone  '51  and  Lillian 
Doane  Maddigan  '21,  president  and  treasurer  of  The  Buffalo  Club. 

Dr.  Tewksbury  welcomed  the  group,  showed  maps  of  the  campus  and  ex- 
plained the  proposed  use  of  the  Esker  property.  He  announced  the  receipt  of 
two  anonymous  gifts:  $5,000  to  be  used  for  equipment  in  the  new  classroom 
building;  and  a  generous  contribution  from  an  alumna  to  provide  a  memorial 
for  Miss  Lillie  R.  Potter.  There  is  a  need  for  more  appropriate  appointments  for  i 
use  during  chapel  programs  at  Winslow  Hall,  and  the  money  will  be  used  for 
this  purpose.  Purchases  will  include  a  reading  desk,  an  altar  and  altar  cloth,  a 
Bible,  and  a  pedestal  for  flower  arrangements. 

Miss  Potter,  a  member  of  the  Class  of  1880,  served  as  Preceptress  from  1902- 
24;  Dean  of  Residence,  1924-35;  and  Dean  Emerita  from  1935-45.  Miss  Potter 
died  on  January  8,  1952,  and  among  her  survivors  are  two  nieces,  Mary  Potter 
McConn  '05,  Julia  Potter  Schmidt  '06;  and  two  grand-nieces,  Mary  McConn 
Maguire  '29  and  Betty  Schmidt  Wolfe,  a  member  of  Lasell's  faculty  from  1942 
to  1946. 

Mr.  Smith  brought  greetings  to  all  from  the  Board  of  Trustees.  He  told 
of  the  need  for  increase  in  the  College  facilities  to  meet  future  enrollment,  and 
stressed  the  need  for  funds. 

The  after-dinner  speaker,  Mrs.  Ruth  E.  Manghue  of  the  Secretarial  Depart- 
ment, brought  a  fine  account  of  what-is-expected  and  what-is-accomplished  by  the 
secretarial  students  of  today.  She  discussed  the  various  programs  within  the  cur- 
riculum, and  told  of  the  facilities  to  be  provided  by  the  new  classroom  building. 

"A  Late  Show,"  featuring  traditional  campus  events  and  starring  many 
familiar  faces,  closed  out  the  evening. 

Barbara  Iris  Johnson  presided  at  the  Annual  Meeting  of  Alumnae,  Inc.  on 
Saturday  morning.  The  delegates  were  introduced;  the  secretary's  and  treasurer's 
reports  were  read  and  accepted;  and  proposed  changes  in  the  Constitution  and 
Bylaws  were  accepted. 

Dorothy  Inett  Taylor  '30  thanked  the  alumnae  clubs  for  their  continued  sup- 
port and  participation  in  the  Christmas  Wrapping  Paper  Project.  Contributions 
to  the  Scholarship  Fund  were  received  from  Greater  Boston,  Bridgeport,  Buffalo, 
Connecticut  Valley,  Eastern  Maine,  Long  Island,  New  Hampshire,  Rhode  Island, 
Rochester,  Westchester-Lower  Connecticut,  Western  Massachusetts  and  Worcester. 
The  Greater  Boston  and  Washington  Clubs  added  to  the  Alumnae  Building  Fund; 
Chicago,  Long  Island,  Philadelphia-South  Jersey,  Southern  California  and  South 
Florida  directed  their  contributions  to  The  Alumnae  Fund  for  1962-63.

A  "MATCH"  ANYONE???? 


More  than  200  firms  throughout  the  United  States  and  Canada  currently  have 
i  a  "matching  gift"  program  to  help  support  higher  education.    While  individual 
companies  may  vary  in  the  operating  details  of  their  programs,  all  are  essentially 
i  alike  in  that  they  match  —  usually  dollar  for  dollar  —  the  contributions  of  an 
i  alumnus-employee  to  his  college,  university  or  school.    When  you  make  a  con- 
tribution, you  fill  in  a  short  form  provided  by  your  employer,  who  matches  your 
gift  by  sending  an  equal  amount  to  your  college. 

YOU  are  the  reason  for  these  matching  gift  programs.    Your  employer  is 
offering  support  to  your  Alma  Mater  in  recognition  of  the  contribution  you,  as  an 
t  educated  person,  are  making  to  your  company.

THE  PRISCILLA  ALDEN  WOLFE  HALL  .... 

Laying  of  the  Cornerstone  and  Dedication  Exercises  for  the  new  classroom 
building  were  held,  directly  following  Alumnae  Luncheon,  on  Saturday,  June  8, 
1963.  The  Reverend  Eugene  W.  Meyer,  pastor  of  the  Auburndale  Congregational 
Church,  delivered  the  Invocation.  Dr.  Blake  Tewksbury  then  addressed  the  au- 
dience: 

''This  is  a  significant  day  in  the  history  of  Lasell  Junior  College.  Many  gen- 
erations of  students  and  faculty  and  alumnae  have  waited  long  years  for  this  new 
classroom  building  to  be  built.  It  is  at  once  both  a  solemn  and  a  joyous  occasion  — 
solemn  because  we  are  deeply  conscious  of  the  fact  that  one  for  whom  this  building 
is  to  be  named  did  not  live  to  see  her  dream  come  true;  joyous  because  we  revel  in 
the  sight  of  a  much  desired  classroom  building  brought  into  being. 

"Today  we  are  witnesses  to  the  fulfillment  of  another  major  step  toward  the 
realization  of  a  purpose  that  motivated  a  group  of  citizens  in  1851  to  found  this 
institution.  The  vision  of  these  founders  has  survived  many  severe  tests  in  the  in- 
tervening 112  years  and  has  provided  the  incentive  to  successive  boards  of  trustees 
and  faculties  alike  to  strive  to  attain  the  standards  that  today  are  synonymous  with 
the  name  Lasell  Junior  College. 

"The  past  year  has  been  one  of  accomplishment  and  of  promise.  Plans  that  for 
years  seemed  to  be  no  more  than  dreams  have  come  to  fruition  and  foundations  for 
further  growth  have  been  established. 

"On  this  significant  occasion  it  is  my  privilege  to  welcome  all  visitors  who 
have  come  here  to  participate  in  these  ceremonies.  We  particularly  acknowledge  the 
presence  of  members  of  the  Alden  and  Wolfe  families.  Despite  your  sorrow  and 
sense  of  irreplaceable  loss,  we  know  you  rejoice  in  the  opportunities  which  will  be 
provided  to  oncoming  generations  of  Lasell  girls  by  this  new  facility. 

"On  behalf  of  the  trustees,  faculty,  staff  and  students,  we  also  welcome  our 
alumnae  and  our  friends  and  neighbors  of  Auburndale.  To  this  latter  group  may 
I  address  a  request  for  tolerance  if  we  appear  to  be  a  wee  bit  proud  today.  Please 
remember  that  Lasell  Junior  College  doesn't  build  half -million-dollar  buildings  like 
this  every  week. 

"For  some  time  we  had  been  aware  that  the  facilities  and  working  conditions 
for  our  Secretarial  Science  Department  had  not  been  adequate,  especially  when  one 
considers  the  great  advances  that  have  been  made  in  that  field  in  recent  years.  It 
became  apparent  that  a  new  classroom  building  for  this  Department  was  the  most 
urgent  need  as  far  as  buildings  go. 

"It  is  my  belief  that  it  is  much  better  to  have  good  teachers  in  wooden  buildings 
than  wooden  teachers  in  marble  halls,  but  in  the  teaching  of  skill  subjects  such  as 
shorthand,  typewriting,  and  accounting,  no  one  can  deny  that  good  workshops  and 
tools  are  vitally  needed. 

"Lasell  has  always  gone  very  slowly  in  the  erection  of  buildings,  and  the  policy 
for  a  great  many  years  had  been  to  wait  until  things  could  be  done  well  before  build- 
ing. If  you  seize  the  opportunity  to  inspect  the  structure  some  time  today  or  to- 
morrow, as  you  are  invited  to  do,  we  think  you  will  agree  it  is  well  done. 

"A  wise  man  once  said,  'When  considering  a  gift,  consider  also  the  giver.' 
Today,  as  we  dedicate  this  splendid  building,  let  us  pause  also  to  honor  those 
whose  vision  and  generosity  have  made  possible  its  erection.  Among  these  are  the 
students  of  the  Class  of  1963,  who,  together  with  students  of  the  graduating  classes 


LASELL  LEAVES  3 

of  the  past  decade,  have  made  annual  gifts  to  the  Building  Fund  averaging  $1,500. 
We  also  recognize  alumnae  and  friends  who  have  given  liberally  of  their  resources 
so  that  we  might  meet  here  today  for  this  ceremony. 

"These  gifts  have  ranged  from  $1.00  to  $5,000  and  the  total  is  $225,000.  For 
thousands  of  donors,  then,  this  building  stands  as  a  testimonial  to  their  abiding  faith 
and  confidence  in  Lasell  Junior  College.  To  all  these  thoughtful  people,  and  to  the 
many  more  who  have  indicated  the  desire  to  participate,  the  College  owes  a  deep 
debt  of  gratitude. 

"Following  a  gleam  through  clouds  of  uncertainty  and  fear,  through  days  of 
trial  and  of  hardship,  the  Pilgrims  came  to  the  shores  of  New  England.  John 
Alden  and  Priscilla  Mullins  were  of  that  stalwart  group.  The  gleam  that  then 
flashed  on  Plymouth  Rock  has  since  repeatedly  flickered  from  ocean  to  ocean 
throughout  the  subsequent  decades  of  our  history.  'And  as  one  small  candle,'  wrote 
Governor  Bradford  with  pardonable  exaggeration,  'may  light  a  thousand,  so  the 
light  here  kindled  hath  shown  unto  many,  yea  in  some  sorte  to  our  whole  nation.' 
We  would  like  to  believe  that  Lasell  likewise  kindles  a  light  for  many. 

"Colleges  have  been  called  undying  institutions.  Certainly  they  are  eternally 
vital  to  the  life  of  this  nation  and  of  the  civilization  of  which  America  is  a  part. 
They  can  fulfill  their  high  mission  only  as  they  continue  to  grow  in  strength,  and 
in  these  times  of  challenge  they  must  do  their  job  better  than  ever  before. 

"Lasell  will  not  be  found  wanting,  nor  will  those  on  the  campus  and  Lasell's 
friends  and  supporters  be  found  wanting.  We  are  today  the  legatees  of  men  and 
women  who  were  willing  to  pledge  to  the  nation  'their  lives,  their  fortunes  and 
their  sacred  honor.'  We  shall  match  their  devotion  with  our  energies,  our  intelli- 
gence, and  our  resources  to  educate  here  young  women  wise  enough  and  good 
enough  to  make  a  success  of  their  own  lives,  and  through  and  beyond  that,  to 
make  a  strong  contribution  to  our  nation  and  our  world." 

Mr.  Wilder  N.  Smith,  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  gave  the  Dedication 
speech : 

"There  is  always  a  feeling  of  accomplishment  when  a  new  building  is  dedi- 
cated. It  represents  the  fulfillment  of  someone's  idea  or  dream.  For  some  years,  it 
has  been  apparent  to  the  Officers  of  Lasell  that  we  need  expanded  classroom  facili- 
ties, but  to  Priscilla  Alden  Wolfe  the  first  and  most  important  objective  was  a  new 
building  for  the  Secretarial  Science  Department,  and  while  she  was  Chairman 
of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  she  worked  relentlessly  to  that  end,  and  this  building 
which  we  are  now  dedicating  is  the  accomplishment  of  her  endeavors. 

"Priscilla  Alden  Wolfe,  a  direct  descendant  of  Priscilla  and  John  Alden  of  the 
Plymouth  Colony,  was  graduated  from  Lasell  in  1919.  President  of  her  Senior  Class 
and  President  of  the  Student  Council,  a  member  of  every  student  activity,  she  was 
most  respected  and  popular.  She  was  awarded  the  Lasell  Sweater,  which  was  the 
equivalent  of  today's  Lasell  Jacket. 

"Shortly  after  graduation,  Priscilla  married  Leonard  Wolfe  and  in  the  follow- 
ing years  they  had  three  children:  Leonard  Jr.,  Alden  and  Virginia,  who  was  grad- 
uated from  Lasell  in  1944.  Priscilla's  loyalty  to  Lasell  increased  with  the  years,  and 
she  gave  of  her  time  unstintingly. 

"In  1937  she  was  responsible  for  the  successful  fund-raising  drive  for  the  erec- 
tion of  Winslow  Hall.  She  was  a  Past  President  of  Lasell  Alumnae;  a  member  of 
its  Board  of  Management;  a  member  of  the  Lasell  Corporation;  elected  a  Trustee 
in  1948;  served  as  Vice-President  of  the  College  from  1955  to  1959;  and  thereafter 
was  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  until  the  time  of  her  death. 

"As  a  resident  of  New  Hampton,  New  Hampshire,  Priscilla  found  time  to 


4  LASELL  LEAVES 

participate  in  many  community  affairs,  such  as  the  Woman's  Club,  the  Garden  Club, 
the  Red  Cross,  Public  School  affairs,  the  Hospital  Board,  Church  activities  and  many 
other  organizations.  But  in  spite  of  all  these  duties,  I  feel  that  next  to  her  fam- 
ily, Priscilla's  first  love  was  Lasell. 

"And  so,  in  admiration  for  her  many  years  of  service  to  Lasell,  we  dedicate 
this  building  as  a  permanent  memorial  to  her,  and  in  her  honor  name  it  The  Pris- 
cilla  Alden  Wolfe  Hall. 

"It  is  the  intention  of  the  Trustees  to  place  a  plaque  in  the  Entrance  Hall  of 
this  building,  which  will  read  as  follows: 

This  building  is  dedicated  to  the  memory  of 

Priscilla  Alden  Wolfe,  '19 

1899-  1961 

President  of  Lasell  Alumnae  Association,   1934-36 

Member  of  the  Corporation  and  Trustee  of  Lasell  Junior  College,   1936-61 

Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,   1939-61 

A  tenth  generation  descendant  of  John  and  Priscilla  Alden, 
she    exemplified    both    in    her   daily    life    and    in    her    devotion 
to  Lasell  the  highest  ideals  of  her  Pilgrim  forebears,  ably 
serving    both    her    community    and    the    College    with    courage, 
loyalty  and  enthusiasm."

FROM  THE  ALUMNAE 


1898 

From  Caroline  Kendall  Putnam:  "Please 
accept  my  very  best  wishes  for  Lasell.  I 
am  happy  to  know  the  College  is  expanding 
and  progressing  so  well." 


1903 

From  Emily  A.  Clemens  x-'03:  "Had  so 
hoped  I  might  join  the  Class  of  1903  at 
Commencement  time.  My  sister,  Isabella 
(Clemens  '01)  and  I  are  sailing  for  England 
and  Scotland  on  June  13th,  and  we  cannot 
manage  time  for  the  Boston  trip.  We  both 
remember  with  much  pleasure  our  visit  to 
Lasell  on  the  occasion  of  the  Centennial  Cele- 
bration, and  again  in  1953.  Our  very  best 
good  wishes  to- 1903  and  Lasell." 


1908 

From  Grace  Emerson  Cole:  "Lasell  has 
made  important  strides  since  our  small 
class  of  seventeen  was  graduated.  I  am  sor- 
ry to  miss  the  55th  Reunion,  but  I  am  sail- 
ing for  Europe  on  June  5th." 

In  Memoriam:  Gertrude  Bragdon  Edwards 
in  June  1963  in  East  Orange,  N.  J.  Mrs. 
Edwards,  a  niece  of  the  late  Dr.  Charles 
C.  Bragdon,  is  survived  by  her  husband, 
four  daughters  and  a  son. 


1909 

From  Constance  E.  Blackstock:  "My  sis- 
ter, Isabel  Blackstock  Beardsley  '03,  and  I 
regret  we  are  unable  to  be  in  Auburndale 
at  Commencement  time.  With  two  Phila- 
delphia classmates,  I  plan  to  attend  my  50th 
Reunion  at  Goucher  College.  Next  year 
will  be  my  55th  at  Lasell  —  and  I  shall  be 
there." 


1913 


Alma   L.   Bunch  '13  and    Father 


From  Chicago,  Alma  L.  Bunch  writes:  "It 
is  with  real  regret  that  I  cannot  be  at  the 
College  on  the  occasion  of  our  50th  Re- 
union. It  would  be  a  great  pleasure  to  re- 
live in  memory  the  three  happy  years  I 
spent  at  Lasell.  The  nearest  I  can  come  is 
to  send  you  a  snapshot  of  myself  and  my 
father  on  his  98th  birthday,  February  24, 
1963." 


1914 

From  Alleda  Burnett  Arneson:  "Enjoyed 
another  delightful  winter  in  Winter  Park, 
Florida.  Mary  Bingaman,  Katherine  Binga- 
man  Heron  '15  and  I  drove  on  a  twelve-day 
trip  to  Long  Boat  Key,  near  Sarasota,  where 
we  visited  with  Dora  Goodwillie.  Have 
driven  eight  times  from  Minnesota  to  Flor- 
ida, and  wonder  if  I  shall  'hold  out'  for 
our  50th  Reunion." 


1915 

From  Veda  Ferguson  Purdy:  "Enjoyed  a 
September  visit  with  Ethel  Vance  Foster  '14 
in  Scarsdale.  Returned  in  March  from  a 
world  cruise." 


From  Georgina  Fankboner  Roberts: 
"Mary  Fenno  Stirn  and  I  have  each  written 
to  our  1913  classmates,  and  we  do  hope 
there  will  be  a  good  representation  at  our 
famous  50th  Reunion  Luncheon.  Am  sin- 
cerely sorry  I  cannot  plan  to  be  there. 
Have  received  the  sad  news  that  Inez 
Payne    passed     away     several     years     ago." 


1916 

From  Rose  Baer  Trexler  x-'l6:  "Serving 
as  our  Hospital  President  this  year;  four- 
teen men  on  the  Board  and  I  am  the  only 
woman.    It's   an"  interesting   experience.

1921 

Esther  Murray  Downs  x-'21  was  among 
those  attending  the  Town  and  Gown  Flow- 
er Show  and  Art  Exhibit,  sponsored  by  the 
Auburndale  Garden  Club  and  Lasell's  Art 
Department,  on  April  24-25,  1963.  Esther, 
now  living  at  9  Euclid  Circle,  Natick,  has 
two  sons,  one  a  professor  at  North  Carolina 
State  University;   and   three  grandchildren. 


1922 

The  Class  extends  sincere  sympathy  to 
Barbara  Smith  Huntington,  whose  husband. 
Col.  Frederick  W.  Huntington,  passed  away 
in  late  March,  after  a  brief  illness. 


The  Perfectionist 

They  say  I  ask  tco  much  of  life, 

Too  much  of  love,  that  it  should  keep 

High  tryst  with  stars  we  never  reach, 

And    dreams    that    signify    a    mind    asleep. 

But  if  I  ask  a  friend  be  brave 

Or  beauty  never  hide  her  face, 

Am  I  less  wise  than  those  who  hold 

Themselves  to  no  criterion  of  grace? 

How,  if  a  leaf  shall  show  no  fault, 

God  draw  perfection  out  of  clay. 

Is  then  the  true  heart  vain  to  seek 

High  aim  a  premium  men  are  loath  to  pay? 

No  —  I  have  seen  the  rose  in  perfect  bud. 

Seen  the  sure  stars  wheel  on  to  Thule; 

I  can  believe  in  flawless  shapes. 

Fearless  who  names  me  sage  or  fool! 

M.H.B. 


1925 

Mr.  Roger  Wolcott,  husband  of  Helen 
Wahlquist  Wolcott,  passed  away  in  Febru-

Conn. 


1926 

The  College  and  Lasell  Alumnae,  Inc. 
gratefully  acknowledge  the  receipt  of 
two  copies  of  "Whistling  Woman,"  a  col- 
lection of  poems  written  by  the  late  Maries- 
ta  Howland  Bloom.  Mariesta's  husband, 
daughter  and  son  have  prefaced  the  vol- 
ume: "After  raising  and  educating  her  fam- 
ily and  serving  as  a  vital  part  of  the  civic, 
educational,  and  artistic  life  of  Peoia 
(111.),  Mrs.  Bloom  was  returning  to  her 
first  love  —  writing.  Her  Number  One 
project  was  to  compile  a  book  of  her 
poems,  which  she  completed  shortly  before 
her  final  illness.  So,  since  there  can  never 
be  another  volume,  it  is  our  wish  to  present 
this  little  book  of  verses  to  her  many 
friends  as  a  memorial  to  a  vital,  alert,  intel- 
ligent and  intellectual  personality  who 
strove  continually  for  perfection  and  of  a 
poet  who  created  a  spectrum  of  poetry 
from  the  routine  of  daily  living." 

Dedicated  by  the  author  to:  All  the  "girls" 
—  Dorothy  Parker,  Edna  St.  Vincent  Mil- 
lay,  Sara  Teasdale,  Katherine  Mansfield, 
Eleanor  Wylie  and  Phyllis  McGinley,  and 
many  another  "Whistling  Woman,"  the  col- 
lection includes  over  sixty  poems,  many  in 
Spanish,  which  have  appeared  in  Coronet, 
Good  Housekeeping,  Westminster  Maga- 
zine, New  York  Times,  Neir  York  Amer- 
ican Book  Page,  Christian  Science  Moni- 
tor, Boston  Transcript,  Peoria  Star,  Bio- 
graphical Dictionary  of  Contemporary 
Poets  and    World's  Fair  Anthology. 


1927 

From  Madeleine  Robinhold  Leinbach: 
"Please  send  me  a  transcript  of  my  Lasell 
credits.  The  need  is  urgent  for  I  find  it 
necessary  to  attend  summer  school  in  order 
to  get  a  teaching  position.  Am  planning  to 
prepare  for  elementary  schoolwork.  My 
husband  passed  away  in  May  1963." 


1928 

From  Edith  Hussey  Adams:  "At  last  we 
are  back  home  in  New  England  —  164 
Barton  Drive,  Sudbury,  Mass.  My  husband 
has  been  transferred  to  the  West  Concord 
office  of  General  Radio  Corp.  Our  older 
son,  Kipling,  Jr.,  a  graduate  of  Lehigh  Uni- 
versity, is  now  associated  with  the  Norton 
Company  in  Worcester.  John  is  a  first-year 
student  at  the  University  of  Chicago,  major- 
ing in  Humanities. 

A  new  address  for  Bettie  Smith  Scollon  is 
11  South  Knoll  Road,  Mill  Valley,  Califor- 
nia. Bettie's  younger  daughter,  Janet,  has 
just  completed  her  sophomore  year  at  San 
Francisco  State  University. 


1929 

Isabelle  "Zip"  Daggett  Wilson  took  time 
from  her  packing  —  (she  and  Don  have 
moved  a  small  Cape  cottage  with  "not  so 
much  lawn"  at  27  Brush  Hill  Road,  Sher- 
born,  Mass.)  —  to  forward  news  from  Jean 
Smith  Orne  and  Teddy  Pratt  Brown.  Jean 
writes:  "Wilmington  (Del.)  is  a  very  busy 
place  to  live.  Continue  to  do  hospital  work 
(chairman  of  the  Tea  Room  for  the  second 
year),  and  am  serving  for  the  16th  year  on

And  from  Middlebury,  Conn.,  Teddy 
writes:  "Just  doesn't  seem  possible  that  our 
35th  is  so  near  at  hand!  Our  last  one 
seemed  just  yesterday,  as  did  the  25th  — 
and  10th.  Put  my  name  on  the  list  with  an 
exclamation  point  —  indicating  enthusi- 
asm. Per  usual,  I've  been  as  busy  as  a 
beaver  with  a  finger  in  many  community 
activities.  Won  the  women's  golf  cham- 
pionship in  Waterbury  last  year,  and  seem 
to  find  time  for  golf  nearly  every  day  in 
the  summer.  At  the  moment,  I'm  taking 
piano  lessons !  It's  something  I've  wanted 
to  do  for  years,  and  I  can  honestly  say  that 
you,  Zip,  are  in  many  ways  responsible. 
However,  not  having  been  born  with  your 
wonderful  gift,  I  confine  my  practicing 
hours  to  when  I  am  alone.  My  other  hobby 
is  raising  orchids.  Have  enjoyed  this  pas- 
time for  some  ten  or  twelve  years  —  don't 
sell  the  orchids  —  use  them  for  corsages 
for  friends'  birthdays  or  anniversaries.  Bill 
and  I  are  alone  at  home  now  —  our  two 
sons  are  married  and  we  have  three  won- 
derful grandchildren.  Our  daughter  grad- 
uates from  House  in  the  Pines  in  June  '63 
and  is  looking  forward  to  college." 

The  Class  extends  sincere  sympathy  to 
Constance  Chalmers  Harlow,  whose  hus- 
band, Mr.  Frank  B.  Harlow,  passed  away 
on  June  27,  1963  in  Bangor,  Maine.  Mr. 
Harlow,  general  manager  of  the  Penobscot 
Chemical  Fibre  Company,  was  well-known 
throughout  the  paper  industry  and  had 
contributed  greatly  to  the  civic  life  of  the 
community.  In  addition  to  his  wife,  he  is 
survived  by  two  daughters,  Mrs.  Damaris 
Virtue  of  Grand  Forks,  N.D.,  and  Frances 
Harlow  of  Orono,  Maine.

Class  Secretary  Frances  Smith  Miller  re- 
ports: "In  late  April  we  had  a  surprise 
visit  from  Peggy  Boyd  Greene  and  hus- 
band. They  come  to  Andover  frequently 
for  their  daughter  attends  Rogers  Hall  in 
Lowell.  Peg  looked  so  happy  —  she  and 
her  husband  have  two  sons  and  one  daugh- 
ter —  and  a  brand  new  grandchild,  of  whom 
the  grandparents  are  ever  so  proud !  This 
past  winter,  while  on  the  annual  Florida 
vacation,  they  met  Sue  Morgan  Williams 
and  husband  Doug,  and  Ruth  Doughty 
Blaylock." 

Barbara  Fitch,  daughter  of  Priscilla  Bar- 
ber Fitch,  received  the  degree  of  bachelor 
of  science  in  education  at  the  75th  Com- 
mencement exercises  at  Wheelock  College, 
Boston,  on  June  2,    1963.

From  Mary  Frances  Wynkoop  Benja- 
min, 5931  N.  E.  14th  Way,  Fort  Lauder-

here.  Is  there  an  Alumnae  club  in  this  area 
■ —  or  any  former  Lasell  gals  I  might  know? 
Do  keep  in  touch  with  Penny  (Alice  Penny 
Carter),  Dottie  Wickham  Marquis  and 
Gert  Hooper  Ring  '32.  Our  son  John, 
who  was  twenty-four  in  May,  has  been  ill

While  on  an  early  summer  Eastern  vaca-

year  for  I  loved  being  a  Little  White  Dove 
—  if  only  for  one  year.  I,  too,  have  many 
irons  in  the  fire  as  do  you,  but  no  one  can 
say  it  is  a  dull  life!  My  work  as  welfare 
director  in  a  district  of  five  towns  is  simply 
fascinating.  My  daughter  is  as  full  of  music 
as  I  was,  and  she  is  far  more  accomplished. 
She  is  a  piano  player,  has  seven  banjos, 
thirteen  guitars  and  plays  both  trumpet

She  has  performed  on  Channel  6  TV,

I  still  play  piano  for  church  and  square

A  pre-Reunion  letter  from  Betty  Jackson 
Dunning: 

It  all  began  twenty-seven  years  ago  as  I, 
upon  entering  Bragdon  Hall  for  registra- 
tion, fell  up  the  cement  steps.  Two  years 
later,  I  received  the  highest  honor  in  Home 
Economics  —  the  "Golden  Loaf  of  Bread" 

—  and,  properly  elated,  tripped  on  my 
graduation  gown  and  fell  down  the  same 
two  steps. 

I  enjoyed  a  short-lived  foods  career  and 
finished  off  in  the  banking  business.  Met 
and  married  a  travelling  "wool"  career  man 

—  and  during  his  Marine  Corps  service, 
ran  a  boarding  house  for  Navy  men  and 
their  wives,  and  sold  cosmetics  in  return 
for  their  baby-sitting  with  our  first  daugh- 
ter. Husband  Vin  was  medically  dis- 
charged with  two  bad  hands;  we  promptly 
moved  to  an  antique  saltbox  in  Hingham. 
The  restoration  of  the  old  home  plus  the 
collection  of  antiques  proved  the  "hand 
therapy."  Being  prolific,  we  soon  outgrew 
the  300-year-old  house;  sold  same  with 
antiques;  bought  a  four-room  modern 
"box"  on  a  beautiful,  natural-setting  acre, 
and  remodelled  and  added  as  each  child 
arrived.  (They  always  fit  into  bureau 
drawers    instead    of    pink    fluffy    bassinets 


The    Dunnings 
(Betty  Jackson  '38) 

during  the  remodelling  stages.)  So  five 
children  later  —  we  have  an  eleven-room, 
modern  ranch-type  house  with  children's 
wing  —  all  on  one  floor ! 

In  those  early  days  I  was  well  organized, 
so  did  club  and  home  flower  arrangements 
and  at  holiday-time,  gave  lectures  on 
Christmas  decorations.  It  was  a  "put  a 
diaper  on  the  baby  and  put  a  bow  on  a 
Christmas  wreath"  type  of  home  job. 

Five  children  and  four  walls  were  clos- 
ing in,  so  I  decided  on  a  mother's  day  off 
at  the  Y.W.C.A.  and  studied  Japanese 
Flower  Arranging  and  entered  other  or- 
ganizations. Currently  am  secretary  of  the 
Boston  Florence  Crittendon  Home,  have 
presided  at  the  Mother's  Club  (a  natural!), 
and  am  a  life  member  of  all  P.T.A.'s. 

Joined  my  sister  on  a  month's  tour  of 
Europe  and,  being  interested  in  children 
abroad,  entered  the  American  Field  Service 
work.  We  have  an  "adopted"  Iranian 
daughter,  who  spent  one  year  with  us,  and 
our  #2  daughter  is  honored  to  represent 
our  town  (Hingham,  Mass.),  via  A.F.S. 
scholarship,  in  Japan  this  summer.  Re- 
cently retired  my  two-year  presidency  in 
the  Boston  Chapter  of  Ikebana  Interna- 
tional, worldwide  Japanese  flower  arrang- 
ing organization,  and  early  this  spring 
presented  lectures  on  the  "Japanese  In- 
fluence in  our  Flower  Arrangements."  Also 
do  "commercial"  flower  arranging  in  a 
local  flower  shop. 

My  husband,  vice  commodore  of  the 
Hingham  Yacht  Club,  is  still  selling  wool 
and  we  have  our  "millions"  tied  up  in  five 
wonderful  children.  Penny,  our  oldest,  is 
a  junior  at  Smith  College,  majoring  in 
Math  and  French,  and  is  pinned  to  a  Johns 
Hopkins  boy;  Marsha,  our  high  school 
senior,  is  a  cheerleader  and  honor  student;

Wendy,  cheerleader  at  the  junior  high

BOY;  Terri,  our  youngest  at  eight,  is  the 
best  speller  in  her  class  of  the  second 
grade.    All  ages  and  all  stages! 

Looking  back,  I  realize  it  may  be  all 
"organized  confusion"  —  but  so  interest- 
ing and  I  am  proud  to  have  been  blessed 
with  twenty-five  years  of  truly  wonderful 
living. 

P.S.  I  have  never  had  time  to  make  a

We  extend  sincere  sympathy  to  Jean 
Church  Smith  x-'40,  whose  son,  James  L. 
Tahns,  passed  away  on  April  11.  1963  in

From  Frances  Britton  Holden:  "Boy

of  college  entrance  requirements  as  out-

From  Secretary  Ginny  DeNyse:  "Our 
two  travelling  classmates  are  at  it  again! 
On  April  25th  Gert  Fischer  was  off  to  Ire- 
land for  an  eight-day  study  tour  with  the 
Connecticut  Travel  Agents;  then  on  to  a

From  Sybil  Feinberg  Stone  to  Miss  Jac- 
quelin  Saunders.  Char-ma-*  of  Lisell's  A'-t 
Department:  "In  the  November  1962 
LEAVES  I  read  of  the  interest  and  activ- 
ity at  the  College  in  obtaining  fine  repro- 
ductions of  contemporary  art  works  for 
rental  to  students.  In  1959,  '60  and  '61  I 
was  co-chairman  of  the  Boston  University 
Art  Exhibition  and  Sales  project  sponsored 
by  the  Friends  of  Art  for  the  purpose  of 
raising,  scholarship  money  for  deserving 
art  students  at  B.U.  School  of  Fine  and  Ap- 
plied Arts." 

1943 

From  Betty  Gorton  Collier,  Chapel 
House,  Kingskettle,  Fife,  Scotland: 

Dear  Friends, 

It  does  not  seem  possible  that  a  whole 
year  has  elapsed  since  the  Collier  family 
was  piped  ashore  in  Greenock  by  two 
Scottish  Pipers  in  full  Highland  dress.  Our 
then  brand-new  station  wagon  now  has 
nearly  12,000  miles  registered  on  the  meter, 
attesting  to  the  fact  that  it  has  criss- 
crossed at  least  some  of  this  faie  country 
—  and  to  the  fact  that  its  owner  can  safely 
drive  on  the  left-hand  side  of  the  road  with 
the  steering  wheel  on  the  right,  though 
occasionally  I  try  to  get  into  the  driver's 
seat  via  the  incorrect  door.  We  think  the 
country  is  perfectly  delightful  and  even 
now  Stan  talks  of  returning  when  he  re- 
tires. Young  Paul  simply  states  he  "is  not 
going  back  to  the  States."  The  rest  of  us 
simply  enjoy  the  days  as  they  come  —  find- 
ing each  one  full  of  pleasant  experiences. 

Stan  is  discovering  that  being  Chairman 
of  the  Board  is  WORK.  The  job  is  going 
to  take  longer  than  it  seemed  on  the  sur- 
face   for    though    his    people    are    willing,

they  find  new  ways  difficult.  We  say  that 
it  seems  as  if  one  had  turned  back  the  cal-. 
endar  about  thirty  years.  Some  of  this, 
in  a  social  way  and  as  it  affects  the  pace  of 
life,  is  not  bad  —  in  fact,  it  is  quite  delight- 
ful; but  in  a  business  way,  it  will  not  sell 
Pfaudler-Permutit  glass-lined  steel  equip- 
ment, nor  will  it  keep  the  manufacture  of 
it  competitive.  This  makes  Stan's  hair 
turn  even  more  white ! 

We  play  as  hard  as  he  works,  ard  the 
social  life  is  worlds  apart  from  anything 
we  have  ever  experienced.  We  enjoy  our 
golf  games  and  evenings  out  with  the 
Methel  and  Leven  tradespeople  and  pro- 
fessionals as  well  as  with  our  former 
neighbors  in  Upper  Largo.  Our  landlord 
and  family  are  related  to  many  of  the 
"County"  families  in  Fife,  and  live  a  very 
gay  life  into  which  we  have  had  a  few 
peeks.  (We  thought  it  was  wonderful  to 
have  a  large  dining  room  where  we  can 
easily  seat  twenty-two  at  one  table  —  and 
have  several  times  —  but  in  the  really  big 
houses,  there  are  TWO  dining  rooms,  large 
and  small.  The  posh  thing  to  do  is  to  have 
just    a    few    people    in    the   intimate    room.) 

Dancing  is  so  popular  a  way  of  enter- 
taining here.  We  have  danced  more  in 
Scotland  in  one  year  that  we  did  in  the 
States  in  ten.  Private  homes  are  opened 
for  a  favorite  charity  —  can  you  imagine 
inviting  200-500  people  to  drop  in  and 
dance  at  your  home?  Extra  fun  for  us  is 
the  Scottish  Country  Dancing,  each  with 
its  own  formation  and  different  steps.  We 
were  pushed  and  led  through  them  at  the 
beginning,  but  now  we  can  do  the  Duke 
of  Perth,  The  Rightsome  Reel  and  others. 
The  children  can  do  even  more. 

The  two  big  social  weekends  in  Fife  are 
the  Hunt  Ball  in  January,  and  the  Point-to- 
Point  Races  in  April.  For  the  Hunt  Ball, 
I  enjoyed  the  first  long  ball  gown  I  have 
had  since  before  the  war.  The  evening 
was  magnificent  and  quite  like  taking  part 
in  a  technicolor  movie  —  members  of  the 
Hunt  wore  pink  tail  coats,  others  in  kilts 
with  velvet  jackets,  jabots  and  frilly  cuffs. 
Many  of  the  gorgeously  gowned  women 
wore  diamond  tiaras.  The  food  was  fab- 
ulous —  there  were  three  different  menus 
for  sit-down  meals  depending  upon  wheth- 
er one  wanted  to  eat  early  (11  p.m.),  mid- 
dle evening  or  breakfast. 

The  April  race  meeting  was  fun  and 
very  neighborly.  Only  horses  which  have 
been  used  locally  during  the  current  hunt- 
ing season  can  be  raced  in  the  3V2-mile- 
20-jump  course.  The  evening  dance  was 
held  at  the  100-room  home  of  our  local 
member  of  Parliament.  We  had  been 
there  previously  for  dinner,  and  were  as- 
tounded  to  find   we  did   not  even   use  the 


rooms  we  had  been  in  during  our  first 
visit. 

Our  Chapel  House  is  great  fun,  and  we 
are  thoroughly  enjoying  the  process  of 
bringing  it  up  to  date  enough  to  live  in 
with  American  ways  and  rot  too  much 
help.  I  think  our  new  friends  are  amused 
with  our  struggle.  Of  course,  the  houce  is 
about  three  times  as  large  as  our  Roches- 
ter (N.Y.)  home.  I  have  painted  three  of 
the  halls,  the  dining  room  and  one  bed- 
room, and  we  have  had  a  very  modern 
kitchen  installed  in  the  butler's  pantry. 
The  20x30  living  room  and  much  larger 
drawing  room  are  quite  passable,  and  we  use 
them  both.  The  lovely  large  library  was  ter- 
ribly cold  this  winter  and  completely  closed 
off.  Now  that  the  days  are  sunny,  it  is  open 
and  used  occasionally.  There  are  seven 
bedrooms  —  most  of  them  with  bay  win- 
dows and  lovely  views.  There  are  three 
more  rooms  and  four  baths,  as  well  as 
servants'  rooms,  which  serve  as  dressing 
rooms,  places  to  iron  and  mend,  etc.  We 
could  press  them  into  service  if  all  who 
read  this  letter  should  happen  to  drop  in  at 
once. 

And  I  must  tell  you  about  the  grounds 
and  garden  at  Chapel.  When  we  rented 
the  house,  it  looked  like  a  very  substantial 
project  so  by  mutual  consent,  the  landlord 
continues  to  manage  them.  We  have  six 
glass  houses,  i.e.,  greenhouses,  in  which  two 
gardeners  raise  everything  they  plant  out- 
of-doors  from  seed.  They  also  have  ferns 
and  geraniums,  green  orchids,  calla  lilies 
and  dozens  of  houseplants  which  I  cannot 
name.  They  raise  tomato  plants  inside  (not 
warm  enough  to  ripen  out-of-doors),  as 
well  as  peaches,  grapes  and  nectarines. 
There  is  a  separate  furnace  for  the  green- 
houses. All  sizeable  houses  have  a  walled 
garden  and  ours  is  about  two  acres,  en- 
closed by  a  six-foot  cemented  stone  wall. 
Within  this  area  are  planted  strawberries, 
raspberries,  rhubarb,  peas,  beans,  lettuce, 
potatoes,  celery,  cabbage,  bulbs  and  cut- 
ting flowers.  Edging  each  section  is  a  box- 
wood hedge.  Really,  it  is  a  picture  I  wish 
you  might  all  see. 

We  have  thousands  of  snowdrops,  daffo- 
dils and  narcissi  planted  at  random  on 
the  banks  of  ou"  private  glen.  The  burn 
even  has  its  own  waterfall.  Last  Sunday 
three  families  joined  us  for  a  children's 
party  and  we  "had  a  scavenger  hunt  for 
leaves,  wild  flowers,  and  birds'  feathers 
before  the  twenty-one  of  us  sat  down  for 
supper.  I  think  you  may  surmise  we  all 
love  it  here,  and  find  the  bit  of  Victorian 
luxury-living  quite  to  our  liking. 

Ann  and  Sue  are  in  school  in  Kingskettle, 
a  mile  from  our  home.  I  drive  them  in 
bad  weather,  but  they  seem  to  enjoy  walking 


LASELL  LEAVES 


and  picking  up  little  friends  on  the  way, 
rather  like  the  Pied  Piper.  Betsy  and  Paul 
attend  Cuper  (junior  high)  at  Bell-Baxter, 
about  six  miles  away.  Paul  is  anxious  to  go 
to  Glenalmond,  a  boarding  school  in  the 
Highlands,  and  is  studying  with  a  tutor  in 
order  to  meet  the  standards  in  Latin,  algebra, 
geometry  and  French.  I  am  hoping  Ann  will 
be  accepted  as  a  day  girl  in  St.  Leonard's 
next  year.  She  too  will  have  to  pass  an  en- 
trance examination,  but  there  are  not  so 
many  Latin  requirements  for  girls. 

Last  summer  we  drove  to  the  Continent, 
through  Paris  into  Switzerland  for  a  week, 
then  on  to  Germany  and  up  the  Rhine.  We 
were  in  Belgium  and  Holland  briefly,  and 
on  the  way  home  had  a  wee  look  at  Lon- 
don for  the  children's  benefit.  This  past 
winter  we  equipped  ourselves  with  skis 
and  spent  several  weekends  in  the  High- 
lands. We  are  anticipating  a  short  July 
vacation  in  Ireland  —  and  are  looking  for- 
ward to  summer  visitors.  Jeanne  Revene 
and  her  Dad  were  here  for  a  short  visit  in 
the  Spring. 

Sorry  I  shall  not  join  you  for  Reunion  — 
but  always  Cheers  to  1943  ■ —  and  do  have 
a  nip  of  that  grand  liquid  we  ship  direct 
from  dear  old  Scotland. 


1945 

Sue  Ross  Westberg  reports  an  impromp- 
tu early  June  Reunion:  "One  Tuesday 
morning,  Barb  Preuss  Reynolds,  June  Ahn- 
er  Gilroy  and  I  took  off  for  New  Jersey. 
There  we  met  Jeanne  Towne  Reavey,  who 
with  her  five  children  has  returned  to 
Summit,  after  several  years  in  Fort  Madi- 
son, Iowa.  Jane  Burnham  Eliason  drove 
from  Wilmington  —  and  our  little  re- 
union group  was  complete.  Amazingly 
the  conversation  has  now  switched  from 
bottles  and  diapers  to  educating  the  chil- 
dren, volunteer  work,  civic  obligations  and 
trying  to  keep  track  of  the  children's  ac- 
tivities. 

"Barb  and  I  returned  to  Delaware  with 
Jane.  It  had  been  eleven  years  since  our 
last  Wilmington  get-together.  Corkie 
(Rosamond  McCorkindale  Blizard),  Carol 
Hauber  Mitchell  and  Sloe  (Sue  Slocum 
Klingbeil)  were  with  us  then  —  and  how 
we  wish  there  might  be  a  repeat.  Jane  en- 
tertained us  royally  —  from  a  carefully 
guided  city  tour  to  a  surprise  dinner  party. 
Among  the  guests  was  Jane  Calderwood 
Price  —  it  was  a  real  treat  to  see  her  and 
get  caught  up  with  her  comings  and  go- 
ings in  the  past  18  years.  Our  'years  out' 
continue  to  floor  us  all  —  we  don't  feel 
that  old,  and  naturally  are  convinced  we 
don't  look  that  old  either! ! ! 

"Late    Friday    afternoon    I    landed    home 


in  East  Longmeadow  to  find  something 
wrong  with  each  of  the  children  —  none  of 
it  serious,  and  Jerri  assured  me  everything 
had  run  beautifully.  Of  course,  with  Wen- 
dy now  sixteen  and  Jane,  thirteen,  things 
should  go  well. 

"We-all  talked  of  the  20th  Reunion.  Do 
hope  there  will  be  much  enthusiasm,  early 
organization  and  yea-great  attendance." 

1946 

Jacqueline  Darcy,  women's  editor  of  the 
Gloucester  (Mass.)  Daily  Times,  returned 
in  February  from  a  month's  visit  to  Brazil. 
With  her  permission,  we  quote  from  Part  I 
of  a  nine-part  account  of  Jackie's  "Journey 
to  Know  Brazil": 

Samba  —  rapped  out  on  car  doors,  on 
drums  in  the  mountains  behind  the  beaches. 
Gleaming  university  cities  rising  in  the  cen- 
ters of  cities  and  on  the  plains.  Affection- 
ate, hospitable  people.  In  the  northeast, 
the  stores  that  sell  small  blue  coffins. 

Conversations  that  always  return  to  po- 
litical problems  —  and  futebol.  A  close, 
warm,  relaxed  family  life.  Voodoo  rites  and 
jangadas,  the  fishing  rafts  which  may  bring 
in  a  day's  catch  of  half  a  dozen  fish.  A 
thousand  sweet  and  exotic  fruits.  The 
blind;  the  beggars  who  only  sit  and  hope. 

Rio,  perhaps  the  most  beautiful  city  in 
the  world,  with  its  white  crescent  beaches 
accented  by  a  backdrop  of  emerald  green 
mountains  rising  sharply  within  the  city 
itself.  The  handsome  modern  apartment 
buildings  of  Copacabana  and  Leblon  and 
Flamengo  with  views  of  the  Christ  of  the 
Andes  and  of  the  favelas,  the  slums  where 
as  many  as  35,000  people  cluster  together 
on  the  side  of  a  hill. 

Sao  Paulo,  modern  and  aggressive  as 
Dallas  or  Chicago,  its  highways  lined  with 
compact  industrial  plants,  much  resem- 
bling our  Route  #128. 

Petropolis,  former  summer  home  of  Dom 
Pedro  II,  emperor  of  Brazil,  now  a  popu- 
lar resort,  a  pleasantly  middle  class  com- 
munity, cool  in  its  mountain  setting. 

The  unconquerable  Amazon  jungle;  the 
verdant  coastline.  The  northeast  —  trop- 
ical cities  of  stucco  houses  and  palm  trees, 
of  uncertain  water  supply. 

Inland,  against  the  background  of  jagged 
mountains,  tiny  farms  on  sandy  soil,  cac- 
tua;  a  remote,  roiled  pool  that  is  at  once 
used  for  laundry  and  is  the  source  of  cook- 
ing water.  The  dawn-to-dark  fight  against 
the  dry  land.  And  further  inland,  the  ser- 
tao  —  the  desert  —  where  life  and  death 
are  much  the  same  thing. 

On  TV  Alfred  Hitchcock  and  Hazel 
speaking  Portuguese.  Inflation  that  makes 
a  bar  of  soap  cost  several  dollars.  A  peo- 
ple who  live  Tor  carnival,  whose  national

pride  is  soccer  champions.  Three  crosses 
in  the  sand  at  the  edge  of  a  country  road. 
Great  natural  resources. 

A  man  who  walks  with  a  friend,  carrying 
a  small  blue  coffin.  Smoke  rising  in  the 
backlands,  as  the  land  is  burned  free  of 
trees  and  shrubs  —  and  worth  —  for  a 
year  or  two  of  yield.  A  roaring  clanking 
auto  industry,  ballet  and  modern  art,  strik- 
ing architecture,  ambitious  and  often  con- 
flicting plans. 

All  of  this  is  Brazil,  a  country  somewhat 
larger  than  continental  United  States,  tak- 
ing up  half  the  continent  of  South  Amer- 
ica. This  is  the  teeming,  growing  giant 
that  has  everything  —  and  not  enough  of 
anything.  It  is  a  nation  acutely  aware  of 
the  U.  S.,  with  a  constitution  based  on  our 
own,  yet  a  nation  little  known  by  us. 

Like  the  U.  S.,  Brazil  is  a  land  of  con- 
trasts and  a  melting  pot.  Today  it  faces  — 
all  at  once  —  many  of  the  problems  our 
country  has  faced  and  solved  over  a  period 
of  50  and  more  years. 

Last  summer,  72  Brazilian  students  were 
brought  here  for  a  month-long  "journey 
to  know  the  United  States."  For  five  short 
days,  32  of  them  lived  in  Gloucester  fam- 
ilies. The  effect  on  both  sides  was  pro- 
found. Out  of  this  visit  grew  much  mutual 
respect  and  affection,  and  a  desire  for  more 
knowledge. 

Letters  and  books  have  been  exchanged. 
The  young  students  in  Brazil  who  made 
the  trip  meet  together  and  always  the  con- 
versation turns  to  the  U.S.  and  friends 
here.  In  Recife,  in  the  troubled  northeast, 
the  Everybody  Club  meets  —  as  its  equiv- 
alent club  does  on  Cape  Ann. 

Here  we  have  talked  often  of  "our 
young  people,"  some  4,000  miles  away  in 
distance,  weeks  remote  by  mail,  in  a  land 
we  hardly  know.  Out  of  this  interest  and 
affection  came  my  "journey  to  know 
Brazil." 


1947 

From  the  New  Bedford  (Mass.)  Stan- 
dard-Times of  March  25,  1963:  "Ruth  Red- 
den Decker,  wife  of  the  Rev.  Stanley  Deck- 
er, mother  of  two  and  a  substitute  teacher, 
is  the  current  exhibitor  at  Russell  Memo- 
rial Library  in  Acushnet.  A  former  resident 
of  Wellesley,  Mrs.  Decker  was  graduated 
from  Lasell  Junior  College  and  from  the 
Massachusetts  College  of  Art  with  a  bach- 
elor of  fine  arts  degree.  She  studied  draw- 
ing with  Miss  Beverly  Hallam,  oil  and 
etching  techniques  with  Otis  Philbrick  and 
watercolor  under  Arthur  Corsini  and 
Charles  Demotropoulos  —  all  artists  and 
teachers  in  the  Greater  Boston  area.  Her 
work  is  in  private  collections  in  Wellesley, 
Dorchester,  Weston  and  in  New  Hamp- 
shire and  Delaware.  She  was  one  of  the 
resident  exhibitors  in  Acushnet's  weeklong 
exhibit  during  the  town's  centennial  ob- 
servance of  Massachusetts  Art  Week,  and 
has  since  exhibited  yearly  during  Art 
Week." 


1949 

From  Class  Secretary,  Joan  DeGelleke 
Shrewsbury:  "One  of  the  happiest  news 
items  is  that  Shirley  Simonton  Foster 
was  remarried  on  February  3,  1962  to 
Lewis  C.  Bancroft.  They  are  living  at  9 
Granite  Road,  Alapocas,  Wilmington,  Dela- 
ware. Just  before  Christmas  I  had  a  note 
from  Ratsy  telling  of  the  birth  of  Thomas 
Edward  Bancroft  on  December  18th.  The 
twins,  Faye  and  Fran,  are  almost  six  and 
Donald  is  eight.  Their  father,  Ralph  Fos- 
ter, died  of  leukemia  in  1961. 

"Last  September  I  enjoyed  an  over-nite 
visit  with  Pat  Madden  Nelson  x-'49  in 
Hyannis.  My  husband's  family  have  a  sum- 
mer home  in  Little  Compton,  R.  I.,  and  now 
that  I've  discovered  Pat  is  but  two  hours 
from  there,  I  plan  to  go  again.  Pat  and 
Bob  have  three  handsome  sons,  Peter, 
John  and  Paul.  Their  summers  are  ter- 
ribly busy  —  swimming  and  sailing  lessons 
and  all  the  other  wonderful  things  one  does 
on  the  Cape.  Bob  is  in  business  with  Pat's 
father  at  Jack's  Sport  Shop,  where  they  sell 
everything  from  bikes  to  boats.  Pat  gave 
me  news  of  Joan  Maynard  Lockwood  x-'49, 
whom  I  had  'lost'  over  the  years.  Joan  is 
now  Mrs.  Eugene  Tessier  and  lives  at  59 
Hope  Avenue,  Warwick,  R.  I. 

"Usually  see  Evie  Frye  White  and  family 
when  they  come  for  the  annual  summer 
vacation  with  Evie's  parents  in  Durham, 
Conn.  Evie  and  George  have  two  boys 
and  a  girl  and  they  live  in  Elkhart,  Ind. 
I  am  enclosing  a  picture  of  Bev  Splitt  Kel- 
ler's   handsome    children.      Her     husband,

Guy     is    a   surgeon   and   they   live   at    1223 
Providence  Road  in  Charlotte,  N.  C. 

"As  for  me.,  I  manage  to  take  on  too 
many  things  and  am  up  to  the  eyeballs  in 
confusion.  David,  in  kindergarten,  thinks 
he  is  the  greatest  thing  going;  Sarah,  al- 
most three,  is  our  blonde,  curly-headed 
doll.  I  work  occasionally  for  a  pediatri- 
cian, am  chairman  of  recruitment  for  the 
Bloodmobile  and  can't  seem  to  say  'No'  to 
the  P.T.A.  officials.  When  you  '49-ers 
travel  the  Connecticut  Turnpike,  take  that 
Guilford  turn-off  and  do  come  to  see  us  — 
we're  on  Upper  State  Street." 

1950 

From  Sabra  Turner  Stockdale:  "My  hus- 
band and  I  and  another  couple  are  now 
owners  of  the  Silver  Sands  Cottages  (33  of 
them)  in  South  Yarmouth,  Mass.  W"  a-e 
thrilled  with  the  new  venture  in  the  busi- 
ness world,  and  hope  that  many  Lasell 
alumnae  with  their  families  will  be  our 
guests  in  this  and  future  summer  seasons. 
Doris  Pinkham  Collins  and  I  were  sorry 
not  to  be  able  to  attend  the  Alumnae  Coun- 
cil Session  this  year." 

1951 

From  Class  Secretary  Anna  Stevenson 
Mangano:  "Claire  Quinzani  Kerins  is  a  res- 
ident of  the  West  Coast  again:  her  new 
address  —  22857  Cass  Avenue,  Woodland 
Hills,  California.  Robin  Witt  Mosher  and 
Cliff  have  moved  to  a  new  home  at  35 
Clarke  Street,  Needham,  Mass.  The  Mosh- 
ers  have  two  sons  and  two  daughters  — 
Gary,  Jill,  Dana  and  Kimberly. 

"Barbara  McRoberts  Collingwood,  ever 
so  busy  decorating  a  new  home,  is  a 
Brownie  leader  to  19  girls  and  is  a  member 
of  the  Branford   (Conn.)  Art  League.    Bar- 


bara forwarded  the  sad  news  of  the  death 
of  Gloria  Van  Wart  x-'51  on  March  31, 
1963  in  Madison,  Conn. 

"It  was  good  to  see  Pat  Raeder  Crone  at 
the  Annual  Alumnae  Council  Meetings  at 
the  College.  Pat  is  president  of  the  Buf- 
falo Alumnae  Club;  she  and  club  treasur- 
er, Lillian  Doane-  Maddigan  '21,  were 
guests  of  Alumnae,  Inc.  Pat  keeps  in  touch 
with  Beverly  Pink  Reynolds  and  Carolyn 
Weare  Shaw. 

"Priscilla  Freeman  McCartney  and  three 
children  Were  guests  of  her  parents  in 
Florida  for  the  month  of  April.  Via  post- 
card we  learned  they  'just  missed  seeing 
J.F.K.  in  Palm  Beach  by  seconds!! 

"I  am  looking  forward  to  a  week  of 
vacation  with  my  husband  in  Nassau. 
where  he  .will  attend  meetings  with  the 
Massachusetts  Medical  Society." 

From  Kit  Ballard  Heck  in  Eugene,  Ore- 
gon: "My  husband  has  finished  all  course 
work  for  his  advanced  degree,  and  we  are 
heading  back  to  New  York.  Our  new  ad- 
dress will  be  1799  Stone  Avenue,  East 
Meadow,  Long  Island. 

"This  has  been  a  fabulous  year.  The 
West  is  beautiful  and  we  shall  miss  the 
huge  mountains,  fertile  valleys  and  beau- 
tiful beaches.  We  have  travelled  high 
into  the  Cascades  and  down  to  the  Pa- 
cific. At  Christmastime  we  visited  in  San 
Francisco  —  all  fell  in  love  with  this  gem 
bv-the-sea.  We  rode  the  cable  cars,  visited 
Chinatown,  toured  Fisherman's  Wharf  — 
did  all  there  was  to  do;  saw  all  there  was 
to  see.  During  the  spring  vacation  we 
went  to  Yosemite  Valley  —  so  peaceful 
and  breath-taking;  even  the  children  were 
enchanted."

1952 

From  The  Portland,  Maine  Express,  Feb-" 
ruary  8,  1963: 

"The  circulation  is  going  up  all  the 
time,"  gleefully  reports  the  editor  of  one 
of  the  newer  publications  in  the  Greater 
Portland  area.  "Our  equipment  is  old, 
but  we  have  hopes  of  replacing  it,  o"  mak- 
ing extensive  repairs,"  is  an  optimistic 
note  from  the  publisher. 

This  many-hatted  spokesman  is  Dolores 
(Eck)  Ellis,  who's  keening  Cape  Elizabeth- 
eans  around  the  Pond  Cove  district  alert 
to  the  goings-on  percolated  by  the  PTA. 
The  publication  is  nameless  so  far,  but 
lack  of  a  masthead  makes  for  more  room 
to    apprize    parents    of    the    projects    afoot. 

Dolores  started  her  one-woman  publica- 
tion last  fall,  thinking  it  was  something 
she  could  do  in  her  spare  time  at  home. 
First  casualty  was  her  tried-and-no-longer- 
true  typewriter.  It  lost  its  "A"  after  the 
first  few  editions.  She  uses  the  duplicating 
machine  at  school  and  it,  though  missing 
no    parts,    isn't    as    spry    as    it    once    was. 

Her  circulation  manager  goes  into  ac- 
tion as  she  turns  pressman  and  cranks  out 
the  news.  He's  five-year-old  David  Ellis  and 
he  gathers  up  the  800-900  sheets  and 
stacks  them  in  neat  piles.  The  monthly 
news  is  rushed  to  the  three  buildings. 
Pond  Cove  Elementary  South,  Pond  Cove 
Elementary  and  Town  Hall.  There's  even 
a  promotion  manager  on  the  staff.  That's 
Douglas  Ellis,  8  next  month.  He's  the  lad 
who  thinks,  and  loudly  tells,  how  great  it 
is  to  have  Mom  and  Pop  dueting  in  the 
PTA. 

Ellis,  who  in  public  life  is  outside  plant 
engineer  for  the  Telephone  Company, 
has  more  irons  than  drawing  in  the  home 
fire.  He  attended  Franklin  Technical  In- 
stitute in  Boston  for  three  years,  and  he  is 
now  an  almost  perennial  night  school  stu- 
dent at  UMP.  He  is  in  his  fifth  year  of 
study  leading  to  a  degree  in  business  ad- 
ministration. 

Dolores,  who  attended  Lasell  Junior  Col- 
lege, is  a  music  hobbyist  and  used  to  sing 
with  the  South  Portland  Community  Cho- 
rus and  appeared  with  the  Portland  Play- 
ers. But  as  long  as  she  has  irk  on  her  fin- 
gers, the  songs  in  her  heart  will  have  to  be 
soloed   around   the  Farm   Hill   Road   home.

"We  have  had  a  cold  but  sunny  winter

ing-up weather  begins  next  month  —

time  to  take  lessons  in  Japanese  flower  ar- 
ranging. Am  not  a  good  student  —  but  I 
am  really  enjoying  it.  We  enjoyed  a  trip 
to  Kamakura  to  see  the  Great  Buddha,  and 
to  Enoshima  to  view  Mt.  Fuji.  We  are 
quite  settled  now  and  getting  used  to  our 
new  land.  I  have  a  great  time  learning  my 
way  about  this  tremendous  city  —  attempt 
to  learn  a  bit  of  Japanese,  and  try  even 
harder  to  have  the  people  understand

work  immensely  at  General  Radio  Com- 
pany, an  electronics  firm.  Had  a  wonderful 
April  vacation  in  Texas  —  saw  Houston  and 
the  surrounding  area  from  the  refineries  at 
Texas  City,  Pasadena  and  Baytown  —  oil 
wells  ■ —  Nasa-manned  space  center  ■ —  to 
Neiman  Marcus.  Was  a  luncheon  guest-

"Pat  Bowen  White's  daughter,  Susan,  is

sons,  Cliff  and  Glen,  and  I  am  looking  for- 
ward to  a  visit  with  them  soon.  Often 
week-end  in  Vermont  with  Delores  Ray-

From  Eileen  Dahl  Lord:  "Harry  is  in  his

brated  her   second    birthday   on    April   27." 

From  Sharon  Deiml  Koehler:  "The  latest 
issue  of  the  LEAVES  has  prodded  me 
into  finally  writing  of  our  latest  good  news. 
Our  daughter,  Diane  Jane,  was  born  Feb- 
ruary 22,  1962.  At  present,  our  blue-eyed 
blonde  replica  of  her  Daddy  is  trying  to 
crawl,  stand,  and  keep  active  every  wak- 
ing minute  —  which  is  just  about  the  en- 
tire day.  Bill  and  I  were  busy  last  summer 
reseeding  the  lawn  and  planting  new 
shrubs  at  our  home  in  Waldwick  (49 
Grand  Avenue,  Waldwick,  N.  J.);  and  he 
has  repainted  the  house.  Am  looking  for- 
ward to  a  visit  real  soon  with  Joan  Gran-

I960 

The  Boston  HERALD  has  granted  per- 
mission to  reprint  a  June  feature  story, 
"Gentle  Hands  Heal  Lima  Girl's  Heart." 
The  accompanying  picture  of  Susan  Fietze 
Haase  x-'60  and  daughter,  Karen,  was 
taken  by  HERALD  Staff  Photographer 
Ronald  Donovan. 

Given  a  new  chance  at  life  by  the  Chil- 
dren's Hospital  Medical  Center,  a  two-and- 
one-half-month-old  baby  girl  leaves  Bos- 
ton this  morning  on  the  first  leg  of  a  return 
trip  to  Lima,  Peru  —  a  journey  her  parents 
feared  she  would  never  make. 

The  child,  Karen  Haase,  daughter  of 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Deitrich  W.  Haase  of  Lima, 
has  spent  almost  half  her  brief  life  in  the 
hospital.  Struggling  in  an  oxygen  tent 
against  three  major  heart  defects,  she  was 
flown  here  from  Peru  more  than  a  month 
ago. 

"When  we  left  Lima,  I  didn't  know 
whether  we'd  make  it,"  Mrs.  Haase  told 
The  Herald  last  night. 

Doctors  in  Lima  had  told  the  family  that 
only  the  experience  and  special  skills  avail- 
able at  Children's  could  save  her  life. 

With  mother  and  child  on  the  jet  to 
New  York  from  Peru  were  a  maternal 
grandmother,  Mrs.  Hans  Fietze  of  Monte- 
video, Uruguay,  and  Dr.  Carolos  Urquia- 
ga,  a  pediatrician  from  the  British-Amer- 
ican Hospital  in  Lima. 

"We  never  knew  if  she  would  live  from 
one  minute  to  the  next,"  Mrs.  Haase,  a  Los 
Angeles-born  former  student  at  Lasell 
Junior  College,  told  a  reporter. 

During  the  flight,  the  child's  cyanosis,  or 
blueness  from  lack  of  oxygen  in  the  blood, 
became  worse. 

Her  grandfather  in  Montevideo,  head  of 
customer  engineering  for  IBM  World 
Trade  Corp.  in  South  America,  arranged 
for  a  company  plane  to  meet  them  at 
Newark  Airport  and  fly  Karen  direct  to 
Boston. 

"She  was  in  heart  failure  and  desperate- 
ly ill  when  she  arrived  here,"  according  to 
one  of  the  doctors  who  worked  on  the  case. 
"We  had  serious  doubts  that  she  would 
live  through  the  night." 

At  Children's,  heart  catheterization  and 
other  diagnostic  procedures  confirmed  that 

I  Karen  was  suffering  from  a  ventricular 
septal  defect  (a  hole  allowing  leakage  be- 
tween the  chambers  of  the  heart) ;  a  patent 

i  ductus  arteriosus  (which  resulted  in 
bleeding    into    the    lungs),    and    transposi- 

i  tion  of  the  great  vessels  (a  reversal  of  the 
positions  of  the  aorta  and  the  pulmonary). 


In  the  hyperbaric  chamber  at  the  hos- 
pital, Karen's  chest  was  opened  under 
pressures  imposed  to  increase  the  oxygen 
supply  to  her  body  tissues.  The  chamber 
makes  possible  surgery  that  otherwise 
could  not  be  attempted. 

The  surgeons  corrected  the  patent  duc- 
tus arteriosus,  preventing  bleeding  into  the 
lungs,  and  narrowed  the  improperly  con- 
nected pulmonary  artery  in  order  to  in- 
crease  the   oxygen   supply   to   Karen's    body. 

In  the  present  state  of  the  art,  surgery 
to  correct  the  transposition  is  not  at- 
tempted. It  was  thought  wise  not  to  at- 
tempt to  close  the  sepal  defects  at  this 
time,  as  they  now  alleviate  to  some  extent 
the  oxygen  deficiency  caused  by  the  trans- 
position of  the  great  vessels. 

But  the  operation  unquestionably  saved 
Karen's  life,  and  growing  with  her  in  the 
next  few  years  will  be  the  surgical  tech- 
niques that  could  be  employed  to  solve  her 
other  heart  problems.

FROM  DR.  TEWKSBURY 


Excerpts  from  remarks  at 

Freshman  Convocation 

September  19,  1963 


As  travelers  on  this  trip  at  Lasell,  you  should  know  from  the  outset  about  where 
we  are  bound  in  educational  terms.  Education  is  at  once  a  simple  and  a  complex 
process.  We  extend  to  you  newly  arrived  on  campus  our  major  purpose,  which  is 
the  enterprise  of  learning.  Others  have  been  on  this  journey  before  you;  they,  your 
instructors,  have  one  chief  interest.  They  would  be  counselors  and  friends  in  this 
period  of  your  enlarging  knowledge,  skills  and  attitudes.  The  teacher  who  is  only 
a  drill  sergeant  or  a  fountain  of  wisdom,  you  will  not  find  here.  We  all  want  to 
be  helpful  to  your  intellectual,  social  and  spiritual  maturing,  but  I  must  remind 
you  that  it  is  only  you  who  will  do  your  own  learning  and  your  own  maturing. 

Together  we  seek  to  cultivate  these  several  educational  elements :  Knowledge,  a 
skill  and  good  attitudes  because  society  (spelled  with  a  small  "s")  puts  a  high 
social  value  upon  them  as  contributing  to  your  personal  effective  living.  These 
values  are  both  intellectual  as  the  possession  of  a  cultivated  person  and  social 
as  the  assets  of  a  gracious  individual.  They  are  acquired  by  good  example,  by 
sympathetic  suggestion  and  imitation,  by  personal  experience  out  of  one's  own  good 
taste,  but  they  must  be  accepted  in  action  in  order  for  the  individual  to  qualify  as 
educated. 

During  the  next  two  years  you  will  be  introduced  to  what  I  shall  call  for  want 
of  a  better  term  the  fateful  five  years,  for  the  next  five  years  will  typically  see  your 
future  shaping  itself  in  definite  ways.  Your  formal  education  will  be  well  ad- 
vanced or  finished;  statistics  suggest  that  you  will  probably  have  chosen  a  husband 
and  may  have  a  baby;  the  location  of  your  home  and  community  may  also  have 
been  decided.  This  is  a  sobering  thought.  All  Lasell  can  do  to  open  up  the  best 
possibilities  in  these  life-long  directions  it  stands  eager  to  do.  For  your  decisions 
in  these  life  channels  while  not  final  are  fateful.  And  you  surely  want  to  bring 
to  them  as  much  background  knowledge  and  adult  judgment  as  humanly  possible.

Rare  Moments 

Rare  moments  bring  a  spirit-rush  of  wings 

In  breathless  pause. 

When   speech  comes   over-slow  and  strangely  halting, 

It  is  because 

Their  new-born  baby  minds  so  full  of  glories 

Try  to  reveal 

The  marvel  of  that  secret  shining  wonder 

We  only  feel. 

Too  soon  the  swift  surprise  of  earthly  living 

Makes  them  forget, 

Though  never  do  they  lose  those  dreams  celestial 

Without  regret. 

How  shall  I  dare  to  guide  the  steps  that  lately 

Asphodel  trod? 

Ah,  you  will  teach  me,  Little  One  from  Heaven, 

The  ways  of  God.

Mr.  Walter  R.  Kattelle  writes  to  the 
Alumnae  Office:  "In  front  of  me  on  the 
desk  is  a  picture  of  Nellie  Feagles,  whom 
I  met  a  few  days  after  her  graduation  from 
Lasell  Seminary  in*1897  and  who  has  been 
my  wife  for  55  years.  She  left  me  on  July 
22,  1963  after  a  very  long  illness.  After 
graduation  she  and  her  mother  stayed  in 
Dr.  Bragdon's  house  for  two  years,  where 
I  was  a  frequent  caller.  Nellie  and  her 
mother  went  abroad  with  one  of  the  Lasell 
travel  groups  for  a  summer  in  Europe,  and 
she  attended  Frau  Dr.  Hempel's  Lan- 
guage School  in  Berlin.  The  following 
summer  they  joined  a  group  on  a  trip  to 
the  North  Cape  and  Russia,  spent  the  win- 
ter in  Berlin,  and  Nellie  received  a  certifi- 
cate as  a  qualified  teacher  of  German 
and  French.  We  were  married  on  October 
1,  1908  in  Toledo,  Ohio;  lived  in  Auburn- 
dale  for  two  years,  later  in  Washington, 
D.C.,  and  Riverside,  Illinois.  Since  1923 
we  have  resided  in  Upper  Montclair,  N.J. 
Nellie  was  much  interested  in  the  College 
and  whenever  we  were  in  Auburndale,  we 
always  visited  Lasell  and  our  friends 
there."

to  the  Southern  California  Lasell  Club  and 
adds  "Sorry  not  to  meet  with  you  this 
year  for  I  have  always  enjoyed  the  lunch- 
eon meetings.  I  am  thankful  to  live  in 
beautiful  La  Jolla  surrounded  by  many 
flowers  —  the  tuberous  begonias  and  glox- 
inias are  my  favorites."

After  receiving  the  fall  issue  of  "News

"How  surprised,  and  delighted  I  was  to 
see  the  picture  of  us  Lasell  girls  at  the 
Mt.  Pleasant  House  in  the  White  Moun- 
tains. I  was  a  member  of  the  group  and 
am  seated  on  the  balcony  —  fourth  from 
the  left.  The  trip  was  a  wonderful  expe- 
rience for  a  girl  from  Missouri  and  I  was 
overwhelmed  by  the  majestic  beauty  of 
the  mountains  in  their  fall  colorings.  The 
picture  brought  back  many  happy  mem- 
ories."

it.  However,  I  shall  not  be  able  to  come 
East  this  summer.  Two  summers  ago  I 
was  visiting  my  son  in  Boston.  He  drove 
me  out  to  Auburndale  one  afternoon  in 
late  July.  The  front  door  to  Bragdon 
Hall  was  unlocked  and  we  went  in  and 
I  saw  again  all  the  old  rooms  that  I  re- 
member so  well  and  took  several  colored 
slides  of  them.  My  son  took  the  enclosed 
picture  of  me  on  the  same  bench  that  was

Dorothy  Barnes  Paine,  412  West  Third 
Street,  Pratt,  Kansas.  One  of  the  few  Lasell 
girls  who  has  neither  children  nor  grand- 
children. Home  keeping  has  always  been 
her  main  interest  in  life. 

And  from  Mid  Cary  Hill:  "I  wish  all 
1918'ers  could  have  been  with  us  at  our 
45th  Reunion.  After  45  years,  the  old  spirit 
was  there  and  we  all  felt  young  and  gay 
again ! 

"Your  secretary  is  now  home  from 
wanderings  in  Europe  and  she  and  her 
new  husband  are  settled  in  Belgrade  Lakes, 
Maine.  After  being  a  resident  of  Winches- 
ter, Massachusetts,  for  41  years,  it  was 
quite  a  change  to  move  to  a  new  com- 
munity, but  I  love  it.  We  are  situated  just 
between  two  lakes  —  Great  Pond  at  the 
rear  and  Long  Pond  in  front,  so  we  have  a 
boat  on  both  lakes.  We  have  decided  to 
build  a  camp  on  Long  Pond  not  far  from 
Elizabeth  Arden's  'Maine  Chance'. 

"Early  in  July  our  home  was  the  gath- 
ering place  for  a  group  of  1918'ers. 
Lydia  Adams  Godsoe  and  husband,  Har- 
riet Morris  Kenney  and  husband,  Kathryn 
Craig  Rowand  and  husband,  Barbara  Mc- 
Lellan McCormick  and  husband,  and  Ruth 
B.  Newcomb.  We  wish  more  of  the  class 
would  find  their  way  to  our  door. 

"At  present  my  daughter,  Janet  Eaton 
Maynard  (Lasell  '45),  her  husband,  and 
two  daughters,  Cary  Eaton  Maynard  '16, 
and  Becky  Ayer  Maynard  '13,  are  visiting 
from  St.  Paul,  Minnesota,  where  they  have 
lived  since  December  1961.  It  is  wonderful 
to  have  them  here  —  and  with  my  mother 
also  here,  we  have  four  generations. 

My  best  to  you  all !"

1922 

Contributed   by   Harriette   Case   Bidwell: 

Now  I  sit  me  down  in  school 

Where  praying  is  against  the  rule. 

For  this  great  nation,  under  God 

Finds  public  mention  of  Him  odd. 

Any  prayer  a  class  recites 

Now  violates  the  Bill  of  Rights. 

Any  time  my  head  I  bow 

Becomes  a  Federal  matter  now. 

Teach  us  of  stars  or  pole  and  equator 

But  make  no  mention  of  their  Creator. 

Tell   of  exports   in   Denmark   and   Sweden 

But  not  one  word  on  what  Eve  did  in 

Eden. 
The  law  is  specific,  the  law  is  precise 
Praying  out  loud  is  no  longer  nice. 
Praying  aloud  in  a  public  hall 
Upsets  believers  in  nothing  at  all. 
In  silence  alone  can  we  meditate 
And   if  God  should   get   the   credit,   great. 
This   rule,    however,    has   a   gimmick   in   it, 
You've   got   to    be   finished    in   less    than    a 

minute. 
So  all  I  ask  is  a  minute  of  quiet 
If    I    feel    like    praying,    then    maybe    I'll 

try  it. 
If  not,  O  Lord,  this  plea  I  make: 
Should  I  die  in  school,  my  soul  you'll  take.

Dear  Girls:

Talk  it  up!!! 

See  you  there,

Helen  Robson  Hamill  and  husband  have 
recently  returned  to  their  Florida  home 
(3600  Alhambra  Court,  Coral  Gables). 
Two  wonderful  vacation  jaunts  have  taken 
them   to   Mexico   and   to    the   British   Isles.

From  Madeleine  Roth  White:  "On  vaca- 
tion in  Honolulu  last  spring  visited  with 
Helen  Duncan  Devereux.  Had  luncheon 
with  Minerva  Damon  Ludewig  '27  in  San 
Francisco  on  our  return  home." 


1928 
35  th  Reunion 

Each  Reunion  is  memorable  for  at  least 
one  different  reason  —  this  year  had  two 
distinctions:  the  first  being  the  smallest 
attendance;  the  second,  the  selling  of 
chances  on  two  kimonos  sent  from  Japan 
by  Haru  Tokito  some  years  ago  —  from 
which  the  sum  of  $60  was  raised  for  the 
Class  of  1928's  contribution  to  the  Alum- 
nae Fund. 

Alumnae  Day  weather  was  perfect  and 
our  small  group  had  a  happy  day,  we 
missed  you  "absentees"  very  much,  but  the 
notes,  letters  and  telegrams  provided  wel- 
comed reading.  Your  Secretary  had  an 
"off"  year  due  to  serious  family  sickness, 
so  thanks  to  The  Alumnae  Office  much  of 
the  detail  work  was  carried  along  when  I 
was  unable  to  write  the  customary  letters. 
Replies  to  your  interesting  reports  will  be 
sent  —  eventually.  My  thought  now  is 
that  we  must  start  concentrating  right 
NOW  so  that  our  40th  will  be  a  truly 
great  event.  For  the  present  your  chief 
interest  will  be  in  the  collective  news  of 
classmates  which  I  have  digested  briefly 
for  this  issue  of  the  LEAVES.  When  I 
stop  being  a  commuter  and  night  worker, 
I    will    personally    acknowledge    each    letter. 

Our  Class  President,  Helen  Cole  Chalfant 
sent  word  from  Miami  that  son  David  is 
attending  Cornell;  Constance  married;  and 
married  son  Edward  about  to  be  ordained 
an  Episcopal  minister.  Helen  has  been 
extremely  active  in  the  Florida  alumnae 
group.  Evelyn  Bostel  Dotterer  enclosed  a 
fine  family  photograph  with  notations  that 
her  three  daughters  are  Norey,  in  high 
school;  Nina,  a  student  at  Lasell;  and 
Nancy,  a  senior  at  Boston  University. 
We  did  miss  Evelyn's  usual  presence. 
Dorothy  Plummer  Edmunds  was  soon  to 
leave  for  a  European  vacation  and  men- 
tioned that  one  daughter,  Ann,  is  married 
to  a  lawyer  in  Arizona;  Sherry  is  attending 
Northwestern  University;  and  unmarried 
Jeff  has  just  completed  his  studies  at  Deni- 
son.  (Dixie  —  you  must  come  to  one 
Reunion  —  make  it  the  40th!)  Marjorie 
Taylor  Flemings  has  established  a  fine 
catering  service  and  a  Gourmet  Shop  in 
Clearwater,   Florida  —  a  good   enough  rea-

There   Were   A   Few 


son  for  not  being  able  to  come  North.  Her 
four  children  are  married  and  there  are 
four  grandchildren.  She  has  moved  to  611 
North  Fort  Harrison  Avenue  in  Clear- 
water. 

Catherine  Worrall  Flint  came  to  Au- 
burndale  in  1962  for  1927's  Reunion.  This 
year  she  wrote  to  us  as  Dean  of  Girls  at 
Principia  in  St.  Louis,  a  position  which 
she  thoroughly  enjoys.  Her  daughter,  with 
three  grandchildren,  live  near  Philadelphia, 
and  Kitty's  Wall  Street  business  man  is  son 
William.  Greetings  from  Detroit  came 
with  Kathryn  Forgey's  note  and  message. 
Kay,  whose  father  lived  to  an  active  age 
of  91,  continues  to  live  in  the  family 
home.  She  was  looking  ahead  to  a  mid- 
summer vacation  in  Portland  (Maine)  and 
and  a  visit  with  Muriel  Hagerthy  Murray 
'29.  Evelyn  Douglas  Hooper  missed  her 
first  reunion  due  to  sickness.  Her  whirl- 
wind trip  to  visit  the  children  —  the 
married  and  the  students  —  started  from 
Hamden  (Conn.)  instead  of  Auburndale. 
Margaret  Basley  Irwin  telephoned  that 
she  keeps  very  busy  with  her  work  —  and 
we  know  what  an  active  gal  she  is.  This 
was  Peg's  first  "miss"  too.  Jeanette  Allen 
Love  sent  greetings  but  being  the  sweet, 
quiet  person  she  is,  she  didn't  tell  what  a 
busy  and  wonderful  mother  she  is  to  Les- 
lie, Julie  and  Melanie  —  the  most  attrac- 
tive Love's. 

Phoebe  Dotten  Low  was  accompanied 
by  daughter,  Barbara,  who,  as  the  "young- 


est" class  member  present,  had  the  dis- 
tinction of  drawing  the  winning  numbers 
for  the  kimonos.  A  recent  graduate  of 
Vermont  College,  Barbara  was  preparing 
for  her  late  summer  wedding  to  Frederick 
Sloder,  Jr.  Phoebe's  son,  Richard,  pre- 
pared at  Maine  Maritime  Academy  for  his 
position  with  the  American  Export  Lines. 
Marjorie  Winslow  MacCuspie  not  only 
came  to  Reunion  but  invited  the  three 
lone  survivors  at  day's  end  to  visit  her 
home  in  Waban.  Midge's  children  are  do- 
ing various  interesting  things  —  eldest 
daughter,  Jeanne,  a  secretary;  and  Joanne, 
a  student  at  Garland  Junior  College,  has 
a  major  interest  in  art  under  the  super- 
vision of  Lasell's  former  instructor,  Kay 
Peterson  Parker. 

Mary  Pryor  Miller  wrote  her  message 
from  Lafayette,  N.  J.,  and  commented  on 
her  enjoyment  of  three  step-children  and 
six  step-grandchildren.  Mary  also  sent 
the  very  sad  news  of  the  death  of  Helene 
Salzenstein  Hinds  after  several  years  of 
severe  illness.  We  shall  remember  Helene 
with  true  affection  and  send  heartfelt  sym- 
pathy to  her  daughter,  Ann,  and  family. 
Margaret  Newman,  our  loyal  standby, 
brought  much  merriment  and  news,  en- 
joyable stories  of  her  travels  and  photog- 
raphy, in  which  she  has  a  keen  interest. 
For  twenty-two  years  Margaret  has  been  a 
member  of  the  Mechanical  Engineering 
Department  of  Bethlehem  Steel  Company 
in  Quincy.  We  were  truly  sorry  Janet 
Scott  Morse  was  unable  to  persuade  a 
few  classmates  to  be  her  house  guests  for 
the  weekend  —  neither  they  nor  Janet 
joined  us.  We  also  missed  the  latest  news 
of  Janet's   talented   and   married   daughter.

husband   Bill 


Evelyn  Ladd  Rublee  sent  a  last  minute 
cancellation  —  but  did  enclose  a  snapshot 
of  herself  with  husband  Bill.  Daughter 
Cynthia,  a  graduate  nurse  of  Beverly  Hos- 
pital, now  is  married  and  has  two  young 
daughters.  Gertrude  Wagner  is  very  active 
in  the  National  Secretaries  Association, 
serving  as  a  member  of  the  International 
Finance  Committee.  Trudy  plans  to  attend 
a  1964  convention  at  the  new  Hotel  Ameri- 
cana and  promises  to  visit  the  College. 
Dorothy  Frazer  Wahl  writes  that  Suzanne 
is  married  and  daughter  Barbara  is  a  jun- 
ior at  Millersville  State  College.  Peggy 
Woods  Brown  sent  a  fine  report  and  en- 
closed a  photo  showing  Peggy  and  husband 
at  the  time  of  a  special  anniversary  cele- 
bration at  the  bank.  Peggy's  son,  Major 
Arnold  Wood  Brown  of  the  Air  Force, 
is  stationed  in  Albuquerque. 

Our  35th  was  "First"  Reunion  for  Edith 
Hussey  Adams,  now  a  Sudbury  neighbor. 
Her  husband  is  affiliated  with  General 
Radio  and  Kipling,  Jr.  is  with  The  Nor- 
ton Company  in  Worcester.  John  is  a  stu- 
dent at  the  University  of  Chicago.  Dolly 
Goodwin  Culver,  always  a  gay  addition 
to  our  meetings,  only  deserted  us  in  the 
afternoon  to  help  at  a  church  affair.  She 
even  left  the  lovely  cool  sea  breezes  at 
her  summer  home  to  visit  with  us  —  and 
this  time  didn't  dash  to  the  telephone  to 
find  out  if  she  were  a  grandmother !  A 
telegram  arrived  from  Joan  Johnson  Dori- 
ot  and  with  it  the  fine  news  that  her 
daughter  was  graduating  from  the  Phoenix 
(Ariz.)    High  School  with  high  distinction. 


Natalie  Robbe  Hemmett  is  enjoying  secre- 
tarial work  at  Warner-Chilcott  in  Morris 
Plains.  Son  Roland,  Jr.,  a  track  star,  plans 
to  study  engineering.  Josephine  Laughton 
Hopkins  writes  the  most  interesting  let- 
ters. This  was  a  first  "miss"  for  Jo  —  but 
with  good  reason.  She  is  active  in  many 
community  projects  —  the  most  time- 
consuming  at  the  moment  is  the  Barsto 
Restoration    —    a    New    Jersey    Sturbridge! 

We  continued  to  hope  there  would  be 
a  last-minute  "I'm  coming"  from  Barbara 
Lawson  —  a  happy,  contented  New  Yorker 
—  active  in  church  work  and  on  music 
committees.  One  of  the  most  interesting 
of  letters  came  from  Helen  Hawes  Loomis 
telling  of  her  doings  and  of  the  family; 
and  the  bravest  of  letters,  for  Hawsey  was 
writing  from  the  hospital,  where  she  was 
being  forced  "to  be  lazy."  (Over  activity 
had  been  her  downfall).  She  is  one  of 
the  busiest  of  Skowhegan  women  —  a 
member  of  various  community  groups  and 
clubs,  a  reporter  for  the  Bangor  Daily 
News,  and  chairman  of  the  1963  Easter 
Seal  Drive. 

My  sincere  thanks  to  each  of  you  who 
answered  our  1963  Reunion  letter  ■ —  and 
to  those  of  you  who  have  not  yet  filled 
in  the  questionnaire  —  do  it  today.

Frances  Smith  Miller  reports:  "At  last  I 
have  some  news  for  the  Class  of  '30  sent 
to  me  by  Joan  Collier  Cooper.  Her  daugh- 
ter, Carolyn  Cooper,  was  graduated  with 
honors  in  June  from  Framingham  State 
Teachers  College.  She  was  one  of  two 
students  in  the  Home  Economics  Depart- 
ment to  be  awarded  membership  in  'Who's 
Who  Among  Students  in  American  Uni- 
versities and  Colleges  for  the  year  1962-

a  student  at  Bangor  Theological  Seminary,

LASELL  LEAVES 


1933 

June  8,  on  campus,  proved  a  rewarding 
day  to  the  eight  girls  and  guests  who  as- 
sembled under  the  Big  Tent.  We  were 
entertained  by  the  Lamp  Lighters  and  the 
Song  Fest  winne  s  of  Converse,  cooled  by 
a  delightful  breeze,  and  fed  in  nostalgic 
Lasell  style.  After  lunch  we  explored  the 
new  luxurious  Lasell  and  saw  again  a  pret- 
ty queen  crowned  in  the  Crow's  Nest,  and 
witnessed  the  cornerstone  laying  of  yet 
another  new  building. 

Those  who  "made  it"  were  Bunny  Bar- 
dua  Childs,  Sis  Burwell  and  her  mother, 
Grace  Dunne  Walker,  Shirley  Gould 
Chesebro,  Libby  Mclntire  Bennert,  "Og- 
gie"  Ogden  Hayes,  Char  Phillips  Wilkins, 
Nancy  Skiff  and  Ruth  Stafford  Clark  and 
daughter,  Jennie. 

Hazel  Merritt  Bliven,  and  Marjorie 
Walker  joined  us  at  The  Pillars  for  a 
very  gay  informal  dinner.  We  had  as  our 
special  guest  ;  our  "adopted"  classmate. 
Marge  MacClymon  '32.  We  missed  all  of 
you  who  "couldn't  make  it,"  and  hope  you 
will  be  present  at  our  next  reunion. 

Shirley  Gould  Chesebro,  reunion  chair- 
man, has  agreed  to  take  on  the  job  again 
for  1968. 

From  questionnaires  we  learn  that  Bette 
Andrews  York  moved  into  a  new  home 
at  5  Crestview  Drive,  North  Haven,  Conn, 
last  year,  and  in  May,  Eunice  Andrews 
Brooks,  her  twin,  moved  across  the  street 
from  her.  Bette's  daughter,  Sally,  attends 
The  MacDuffie  School  in  Springfield,  and 
her  son,  Randy,  entered  junior  high  this 
fall. 

Eunice  Andrews  Brooks'  daughter,  Su- 
san, graduated  from  Lasell  in  June  '62. 
She  is  completing  her  nursing  course  and 
will  receive  her  R.N.  in  September.  Jeff, 
her  son,  attends  Cheshire  Academy. 

A  phone  call  to  Faith  Barber  Brandt 
found  her  involved  in  school  activities. 
Her  children,  Ricki  and  Linda,  are  stu- 
dents at  Kingswood  and  Oxford  Schools 
in  Hartford,  Conn. 

Helen  Bardua  Childs  traveled  to  the

Last  winter  Bunny  had  "five  glorious 
weeks  in  Florida,  just  taking  in  the  whole 
state  and  seeing  all  the  sights."  She  is  an 
active  church  worker,  a  Christian  Science

We  again  want  to  thank  Helen  (Sis) 
Burwell  for  being  "our  gal  Friday" 
reunion-wise.  Sis  is  with  the  Department 
of  Education  in  Hartford,   Conn. 

Laura  Dietz  Rudginsky  writes,  "Went 
to  Arizona  this  past  winter  and  stayed 
in  Scottsdale,  Phoenix,  and  Tucson  for  a

training  (remedial  reading),  spelling,  com- 
prehension, etc.  at  two  of  the  public 
schools  in  Newton,  and  Beaver  Country 
Day  School  in  Chestnut  Hill."  Laura  saw 
Lillian  Druker  Feingold  and  her  husband 
in  New  York   on  the  April   8th   weekend. 

Margaret  Dubois  Loukes  took  a  won- 
derful seven-week  trip  to  the  Pacific  Is-

eled a  school  house,  incorporating  modern 
conveniences  with  antique  charm. 

Craig,  21;  John,  17;  and  Sara,  13  are

brought  to  the  reunion  and  also  the  dis- 
tant view  of  her  Herefords.  Grace  is  a 
substitute  teacher,  member  of  the  school 
board,  and  the  Doctor's  assistant. 

Conflicting  graduation  dates,  Steffi  from 
Penn  State  University  and  Terry  from 
Phillips  Academy,  kept  Barbie  Erickson

On  June  26,  1963  David  Ordway  and 
Barbara  Ordway  Brewer  were  hosts  at  a 
party  honoring  their  parents,  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Earl  H.  Ordway,  on  the  occasion  of 
their  50th  wedding  anniversary. 

Neighbors,  friends  and  relatives  gathered 
for  an  informal  buffet  in  the  Ordway's 
yard  and  were  greeted  by  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Ordway,  Barbara,  David,  David's  wife, 
Carol,  and  the  four  grandchildren.  Many 
flowers,  gifts  and  congratulatory  messages 
made  it  a  very  happy  occasion;  the  Trus- 
tees presented  Mr.  Ordway  with  a  Pola- 
roid color  camera. 

Mr.  Ordway  has  been  affiliated  with 
the  College  since  1911,  as  faculty  member, 
superintendent  of  grounds,  coach  of  crew 
and  as  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees. 

Barbara  Ordway  Brewer  reports  "sparse 
squeezings   from   the   thin    juice    of    1935:" 

While  vacationing  in  Florida  with 
daughter  Bonnie  this  fall,  I  telephoned 
Martha  Parsons  Lindsay,  just  returned 
from  a  summer  in  Maine.  Martha's  older

Petersburg  Junior  College,  where  Roberta 
Morrill  Buchanan  is  director  of  the  Speech

In  April,  Eleanor  Ramsdell  Stauffer 
dropped  in  for  a  brief  visit.  Eleanor  was 
accompanied  by  son  Charles  and  daughter- 
in-law  Jane.  Charles  was  graduated  in 
June  from  St.  Lawrence  College,  where 
his  father  is  head  of  the  Chemistry  De-

To  Cindy  King  Haskins  from  Thelma 
Larkin  Richardson: 

While  visiting  daughter  Louise  at  Nas- 
son    College    last    year,    I    met    Miss    Mac 


McClelland  —  we  greeted  each  other  with 
gusto  —  then  ran  smack  into  Lil  Tobias 
Richmyer,  whose  son  has  been  accepted  at 
Nasson.  My  "baby"  boy  (26  years)  is  a 
helicopter  pilot  with  the  Army.  He  and 
his  wife  and  their  three  little  ones  are  at 
Fort  Belvoir,  Virginia.  He  came  for  a 
short  visit  in  June,  landed  in  a  'copter'  in 
the  backyard  and  I  thought  the  Martians 
had  really  come  for  me!  Daughter  Louise 
was  a  finalist  in  the  Miss  Massachusetts 
contest  this  year  and  is  now  studying  at 
the  University  of  New  Hampshire. 

Haven't  seen  "Hawkshaw"  (Diane  Gard- 
ner Wetherell),  but  am  looking  forward 
to  her  Christmas  note.  Diane  is  living  on

1936 

Bili  Baxter  Perkins  '36  writes  to  Miss 
McClelland  from  the  Casa-Mar  Apartments, 
6006  Midnight  Pass  Road,  Siesta  Key 
in  Sarasota,  Florida: 

"Ray  and  I  have  recently  been  appointed 
Resident  Managers  of  the  Casa  Mar  —  and 
we  are  looking  forward  to  seeing  many 
New  England  friends  before  the  winter 
is  over. 

"On  June  2d  we  started  on  our  first 
vacation  trip  in  five  years  —  had  a  won- 
derful time  visiting  many  new  spots  and 
revisiting  places  we  particularly  enjoyed 
on  former  vacations.  Starting  in  Arizona, 
we  stopped  at  Phoenix,  Scottsdale  and 
Tucson.  Then  were  almost  stranded  in 
the  Papago  Indian  Reservation  near  the 
Organ  Pipe  Cactus  National  Monument 
near  the  Mexican  border.  Those  tremen- 
dous saguaro  with  limbs  going  in  all  di- 
rections —  no  two  alike  —  continually 
fascinated  us.  "We  continued  on  thru  the 
Imperial  Valley  with  its  lush  crops,  thanks 
to  tremendous  irrigation  fields  —  sugar 
beets  and  delicious  white  seedless  grapes 
were  being  harvested  by  the  truckload.

the  Gods  before  breakfast,  attending  open- 
ing night  of  the  '63  season  of  the  Melo- 
drama in  the  Imperial  Hotel  in  the  gold- 
mining  town  of  Cripple  Creek  are  all  out- 
standing memories. 

"Who  can  adequately  describe  delicate 
Bryce  with  its  unbelievable  multitude  of 
timeless  carving,  or  staunch  Zion  over- 
powering to  the  extent  that  one  feels 
small  and  insignificant,  or  the  Grand  Can- 
yon with  its  everchanging  hues  stretching 
seemingly  endlessly  before  one. 

"A  day  spent  at  Disneyland  transported 
us  to  the  dangerous  Amazon  where  our 
skilled  boatman  piloted  us  safely  through 
herds  of  rhinos  and  treated  us  to  elephants 
bathing  at  the  water's  edge,  pointed  out 
wildebeeste,  and  lions  lurking  in  the  jun- 
gles nearby.  We  relived  the  days  of  the 
river  boats  and  steinwheelers  with  a  ride 
on  the  Mark  Twain,  saw  Indian  ceremonial 
dances,  burning  villages,  and  were  trans- 
ported into  Tomorrow  land  with  a  ride 
on  the  monorail,  cars  without  wheels  mov- 
ing by  air  pressure,  the  Monsanto  House 
of  Tomorrow. 

"Then  to  the  sophisticated  world  of 
Palm  Springs  —  Jolie  Gabor's  store  and 
home,  Dinah  Shore  speeding  down  the 
road  in  front  of  us,  Bing  Crosby's  luxuri- 
ous trailer  park,  three  visits  to  the  Racquet 
Club  where  Charlie  Farrell  was  most  gra- 
cious to  us. 

"Yosemite,  Sequoia,  and  driving  out  of 
Kings  Canyon  after  dark  on  a  narrow, 
twisting  road  with  no  guard  rails,  climb- 
ing something  like  5000  ft.  in  15  miles. 
Gentle,  beautiful  deer,  but  no  bear  (such 
a  disappointment).  Lassen  —  the  volcano 
in  the  U.  S.  which  erupted  as  late  as  1917 
■ —  and  the  bubbling  hot  pots,  the  devas- 
tated area,  the  lava  beds  —  all  were  such 
a  contrast  to  the  indescribably  blue  and 
peaceful  water  of  Crater  Lake  surrounded 
by  a  beautiful  27  mile  drive  around  the 
crater  rim,  were  more  fascinating  trips. 

"Joshua  Tree  National  Monument  in  the 
high  dessert  where  we  seemed  to  be  the 
only  people  around.  How  different  from 
Las  Vegas  where  people  never  sleep. 
We've  been  there  twice  now  and  haven't 
bet  a  nickel  yet.  Can't  understand  how 
people  can  throw  their  money  away  —  but 
it  was  fascinating  to  watch  them  all  do  it. 
The  neon  lights  are  truly  a  sight  to  see  at 
night  —  and  the  interior  of  the  hotels  are 
really  beautifully  decorated.  Good  food 
is  relatively  inexpensive  as  is  the  enter- 
tainment. 

"And  then,  the  Olympic  Peninsula, 
which  is  about  only  5%  developed,  trans- 
ported us  to  an  entirely  new  world.  We 
drove  over  to  Neah  Bay,  so  now  we  have 
been   in   the   four   most   distant   corners   of 


the  contiguous'  United  States.  The  rain 
forest  with  its  tremendous  lush,  green 
growth  seemed  so  tropical  and  such  a 
contrast  to  Mt.  Olympus  crowned  with 
glaciers  —  and  all  so  near.  Fascinating 
country.  It  was  while  we  were  in  Port 
Angeles  waiting  to  sail  to  Victoria,  B.  C, 
Canada,  that  we  got  word  to  hurry  back 
to  Sarasota.  However,  we  did  go  on  to 
Victoria  for  one  night.  Then  on  to  Van- 
couver, for  another  night.  We  had  planned 
to  come  across  Canada  all  the  way  on  the 
new  Trans-Canada  Highway  on  to  Lake 
Louise  —  only  because  we  were  to  pick 
up  new  license  plates  there.  (Ours  had 
been  stolen  and  we  had  asked  the  replace- 
ments to  be  sent  there) .  Victoria  and 
Lake  Louise  are  two  spots  among  many 
that  we  want  to  go  back  and  spend  more 
time.  We  did  manage  to  arrive  at  the 
Chateau  at  Lake  Louise  early  enough  in  the 
afternoon  to  go  for  a  canoe  ride  on  the 
beautiful  green  lake  before  dinner.  From 
there  on  it  was  just  rush,  rush,  rush  to  get 
back  and  it  sort  of  ended  our  sight-seeing 
and  poking." 


1937 

Barbara  Potter  Fyfe's  husband  Bill  was

while  here,  renewed  old  acquaintances  at 
the  College. 

Florence  Stetson  Pipes,  a  past  president 
of  the  Southern  California  Club,  sends  this 
word  from  the  State  of  Florida:  "We  have 
come  to  Fort  Lauderdale  to  care  for  my 
invalid  father.  Am  anxious  to  contact  the 
local  club  —  and  former  Lasell  school- 
mates." Florence  has  been  successful  with 
a  contact  —  she  and  Corinne  Gossweiler 
Ross  have  visited  via  telephone  and  in 
person.  The  Fort  Lauderdale  address  for 
Florence  is  54l  Lido  Drive. 

Adrienne  Smith  Stone  '23  reports  that 
her  son,  George  V.  Stone,  husband  of  Dor- 
othy Acuff,  has  been  elected  president 
of  Bulkley  Dunston  Linde  Lathrop,  Inc., 
New  York  City.

Do  you??? 


Attending  1938's  luncheon  reunion  on 
campus  were:  Peg  Jones  Howry,  Fay  Wad- 
hams  Smith,  Evelyn  Bang,  Mildred  Royce 
Moffett,  Ruth  Meighan  Gillette,  Elizabeth 
Black  Boynton,  Jane  Sherman  O'Brien,

Birchard  Pentheny,  Arlene  Wishart  Syl- 
vester. 

From  the  questionnaires  it  seems  we 
have  certainly  had  our  share  of  widow- 
hood, but  maybe  it  is  the  United  States 
average.  As  a  class  we  haven't  been  very 
divorce  prone  and  some  of  the  girls  have 
really  large  families  —  five,  six,  and  even 
seven  children.  They  are  an  active  crowd, 
doing  more  than  their  share  of  community 
service  and  church  work. 

Unable  to  come  to  Auburndale,  Eliza- 
beth Gahan  Burbank,  Fran  Stephen  How- 
ells,  Marie  Bruns  Dodge,  Carol  Myers 
Lowe,  and  husbands  convened  at  Madi- 
son, Connecticut,  for  a  weekend  Reunion 
of  their  own. 

Renie  adds:  "Our  family  enjoyed  a 
weekend  of  skiing  last  New  Year's.  Bill 
(18)  enters  the  University  of  Denver  in 
September;  Lee  (16),  a  junior  at  the 
MacDuffie  School.  Betsy  (22),  a  secretary 
and  Jr.  League  Volunteer  Worker,  is  look- 
ing forward  to  wedding  bells.  Dan  and  I 
enjoyed  a  spring  vacation  in  Bermuda  and 
Jamaica,  and  are  now  busy  with  planning 
for  a  new  home  here  in  Longmeadow. 


Trithena  McFarland  Argo's  hobbies  and 
current  activities  include  gardening,  vol- 
unteer work  at  the  hospital,  golf  (which 
she  took  up  five  years  ago  in  defense  of 
being  a  golf  widow  and  loves  it).  Then 
of  course  there  is  always  knitting  and 
reading.    Tri   sends  her  love  to   all   '38ers. 

Mim  Nye  Newcomb  was  unable  to  at- 
tend the  reunion  because  it  conflicted  with 
her  husband's  graduation  from  Veterinary 
School  of  Michigan  University.  They 
have  three  daughters,  one  of  whom  attends 
Lesley  College  and  entertains  as  a  folk- 
singer  in  the  Boston  area. 

The  Class  extends  sincere  sympathy  to 
Audrey  Spiller  Smalley,  whose  husband 
passed  away  in  January  1963.  Audrey  has 
a   son   and   daughter,   Stephen   and   Sandra. 

Dorothy  Schwarz  Foster  sent  regrets. 
Her  seven  children  are  Eric,  19,  Dorothy 
Joan,  18,  Douglas  Alan,  16,  Jack  Martin, 
15,  Judith  Ann,  12,  Mabel  Crawford,  9, 
and  Jeffrey  Wayne,  8. 

Nancy  Carruthers  Bicknell  sent  her  best 
wishes  for  a  happy  day  to  all.  Nancy's  two 
sons  are  Bruce,  21,  and  Brian,  19- 

Florence  Rawson  Skitt  gave  priority  to 
son  Bill's  college  graduation.  Kenneth  is 
attending  Bryant  College  in  Providence, 
and  Florence  continues  to  hope  her  one 
and  only  daughter  (there  are  five  sons) 
will  be  a  Lasell  candidate.

Florence  Evans  McLaughlin  has  re- 
quested a  transcript  of  her  Lasell  record 
with  the  hope  that  "it  still  isn't  too  late 
to  work  towards  a  degree  in  Primary  Edu- 
cation with  a  major  in  Library  Science  so 
that  I  may  someday  qualify  as  a  school 
librarian.  For  the  benefit  of  1940  class- 
mates may  I  also  add  this  note  of  informa- 
tion. My  husband,  Captain  M.  W.  Mc- 
Laughlin, USMC,  and  myself  with  our 
three  daughters  have  been  stationed  from 
coast  to  coast  and  in  Hawaii  for  twenty 
years  plus.  Our  daughter  Nancy  is  a 
sophomore  at  Campbell  College  in  North 
Carolina.  Audrey  and  Sally  attend  the 
base  high  school." 

"We  are  always  glad  to  share  news  of 
Jean  Church  Smith  x-'40.  Her  daugh- 
ter, Sandra  Jahns,  a  June  graduate  of  the 
Sarah  Dix  Hamlin  Girl's  School  in  San 
Francisco,  is  attending  the  College  of  Ar- 
chitecture at  the  University  of  Colorado. 
Sandra,  granddaughter  of  the  late  Isabelle 
Bowers  Church  '03,  will  make  her  debut 
at  the  Peacock  Gap  Country  Club  in  Marin 
County  (California)  in  December. 

Elisabeth  Schaye,  18-year-old  daughter 
of  Adele  Friedstein,  is  a  freshman  at 
Chatham  College.  Adele's  two  sons  are 
Jim,  Jr.,  14,  and  Paul,  10. 


Eleanore  Loeffler  Olsen's  reason  for  not 
joining  us:  daughter  Morna  "being  con- 
firmed"; Clinton's  "Harvard  Dental  Re- 
union." 

Eleanor  Pierce  Puffer  was  busily  in- 
volved in  a  hospital  benefit  fair  on  Alum- 
nae Day. 

Betty  Yeuell  Collins  keeps  in  touch  with 
Lasell  and  Alumnae  via  the  Pittsburgh 
Club.  Betty's  daughter  Bobbe  has  applied 
to  Lasell  for  September  1964. 

Dot  Woodard  Grindell  wrote  to  Arlene 
Wishart  Sylvester  "Our  summer  business 
keeps  us  close  to  home  at  this  time  of  year. 
Sorry  I  will  not  be  able  to  join  you  gals. 
Our  daughter  Jean  has  been  accepted  at 
Colby  College  for  next  year;  Paul  is  ready 
for  high  school." 

Ruth  Bull  Reid  was  "still  in  the  cleanup 
stage  —  fire  did  considerable  damage  to 
the  first  floor  of  our  home  in  the  late 
spring."  Ruth's  son  Robert  is  eleven  years 
old. 

Dinner  at  the  Pillars  closed  out  our 
25th  Reunion.  It  was  a  very  happy  oc- 
casion —  we  urge  more  of  you  to  join  us 
in  1968.

1941 

From  Ginny  DeNyse: 

Had  a  wonderful  few  days  with  Mary 
Doig  Nicholson  in  South  Dartmouth.  No 
cross-country  bike  rides  for  us,  but  it  was 
great  fun  to  try  our  hand  at  the  forgotten 
art  of  bicycling. 

Received  a  letter  from  Bette  McGrath 
Brown  —  It's  been  a  busy  year  fo~  Bette: 
lending  moral  support  to  sons  Jeff  and 
Rob  in  Little  League,  vacationing  this  sum- 
mer in  Michigan,  traveling  with  her  hus- 
band to  San  Francisco  for  the  U.  S.  Sav- 
ings and  Loan  convention,  planning  a  trip 
to  Washington,  D.  C.  next  March  for  the 
American  Savings  and  Loan  convention 
and  last,  but  not  least,  delivering  a  paper 
entitled  "An  Objective  Look  at  the  Unit- 
ed Nations"  to  the  Hamilton  (Ohio)  Wom- 
en's Club  this  fall." 

Ginny  enclosed  a  copy  of  Bette's  opus 
on  the  U.  N.  The  LEAVES  regrets  that  her 
entire  address  cannot  be  included  but 
excerpts  from  this  provocative  study  are 
in  order.  A  letter  to  the  editor  of  the 
local  newspaper  attracted  Bette's  atten- 
tion —  The  letter  decried  the  "relentless 
attacks  upon  the  U.  N.,"  querying  readers, 
"What  better  solution  do  you  offer  to  the 
U.  N.?"  Bette  took  pen  in  hand,  analyzed 
the  organization,  functions,  and  effective- 
ness of  the  disputed  world  body  and  of- 
fered the  following  suggestion:  "The  al- 
ternative to  the  United  Nations  would  be 
a  new  World  Government  consisting  of 
free  world  countries  living  under  consti- 
tutions similar  to  our  own.  The  World 
Government  would  have  a  constitution 
guaranteeing  to  all  member  countries 
the  same  rights  which  we  exercise  in  this 
country  as  free  men  and  women.  Some 
people  would  say  that  we  would  be  divid- 
ing the  world  into  two  factions  and  this 
is  true  because  we  then  would  be  recog- 
nizing the  reality  that  the  world  is  now 
half  free  and  half  slave.  It  is  because  we 
have  failed  to  recognize  this  reality  for  the 
past  eighteen  years  that  we  find  one-third 
of  the  world's  population  living  under 
Communism.  As  an  example:  If  we  walk 
out  into  the  streets  unarmed,  knowing 
there  is  a  mad  dog  in  the  neighborhood, 
we  are  not  recognizing  reality  and  have 
only  ourselves  to  blame.  If,  on  the  other 
hand,  we  alert  our  friends,  form  an  armed 
posse,  and  quarantine  the  dog,  we  are 
recognizing  a  real  danger  and  behaving  in 
a  rational  manner.  In  the  past  eighteen 
years,  we  have  not  quarantined  the  dog, 
we  have  not  joined  with  our  friends,  and 
the  dog  has  bitten  and  enslaved  one-third 
of  the  population  of  this  world."  In  clos- 
ing, Bette  said  to  the  Club:  "What  I  hope 


Mary   Doig   Nicholson  '41    and

Cape  Cod  —  July  '63 


I  have  done  is  to  bring  to  your  attention 
the  fact  that  there  are  other  sides  to  the

From  World  Politics  to  a  business  ven-

of  the  New  Canaan  Travel  Agency  on  No-

Pat  Kieser  spent  two  weeks  roughing 
it  on  a  river  trip  through  Glen  Canyon 
of  the  Colorado  River.  "I  hiked  way  up 
many  side  canyons  coming  down  to  the 
Colorado  to  see  the  Moki  Indian  cliff 
dwellings.  Camped  on  sandbars  at  night; 
if  you  miss  one,  take  the  next,  as  there's 
no  going  back  with  that  current !  Hiked 
way  up  Twilight  Canyon,  formed  by 
storms  sweeping  through.  Experienced  a 
terrible  sandstorm  one  evening  —  sand  was 
everywhere.  Think  I  deserved  a  'River 
Rat'  certificate  at  the  end  of  that  trip!" 
Pat  spent  a  week  in  Washington,  D.  C. 
at  the  Special  Libraries  Association  Con-

Kay  Starkey  Litehiser  is  happily  re- 
membering the  delightful  visit  with  Mar-

pitality. 

P.  O.  Box  341.  Nokomis,  Florida  is  the

Mary  Ann  Fisher  Espy  represented  La- 
sell  at  the  inauguration  of  Bennet  M. 
Rich  as  President  of  Waynesburg  College 
on  October  12,  1963.  She  reported:  "It 
was  a  marvelous  experience  —  something 
I  shall  never  forget.  Do  feel  free  to 
make  me  a  Delegate-at-Large  for  Lasell 
any  time.  Thinking  of  the  College  these 
recent  weeks  has  certainly  brought  back 
so  many  wonderful  memories.  Please  re- 
member me  to  all  who  so  kindly  helped 
me  'way  back'  in  '42." 

Gwen  Prouty  Sullivan,  now  Mrs.  Wayne

1943 

We  all  gathered  in  Winslow  Hall  at  ten 
in  the  morning  where  there  was  registra- 
tion and  lots  of  hot  coffee  and  doughnuts 
to  enjoy  while  starting  the  chat  for  the 
day  as  people  kept  arriving.  Lots  of  — 
"Who  is  that  —  she's  in  our  class  but 
can't  remember  the  name  —  who  has  the 
yearbook."  The  faces  were  all  familiar  but 
it's  amazing  how  the  name  escapes.  Presi- 
dent and  Mrs.  Tewksbury  were  table  hop- 
ping and  it  was  most  pleasant  to  meet  them. 
They  invited  all  to  visit  and  tour  their  home. 
A  lovely  home  with  the  most  handsome  fire- 
places, each  with  different  tiles.  Enormous 
and  lovely  oriental  carpets  are  used  through- 
out the  first  floor.  All  of  the  furnishings 
are  most  tastefully  done. 

After  coffee  and  lots  of  reminiscing, 
we  joined  the  Parade  to  the  tent  on  the 
athletic  field  for  luncheon.  The  day  had 
begun  with  an  overcast  sky  and  cool  air 
but  by  lunch  time  the  sun  shone  brightly. 
Two  groups  of  Seniors  entertained  us  with 
singing.  The  Lamp  Lighters,  very  profes- 
sional in  their  presentation,  announced 
they  had  cut  records  which  were  on  sale 
in  the  "Barn." 


The  luncheon  was  concluded  with  the 
singing  of  the  "Alma  Mater."  Try  re- 
membering the  words  after  twenty  years 
—  a  good  trick!  It  was  a  joy  to  hear  the 
Class  of  1918! 

After  the  group  adjourned  I  met  with 
our  class  for  a  short  time.  It  was  my  sad 
duty  to  announce  the  passing  of  Betty 
McAvoy  Marilley  on^May  28,  1963.  Betty 
is  survived  by  her  husband  and  six  chil- 
dren. Memorial  contributions  may  be 
sent  to  the  Cancer  Society. 

Nan  Mondello  Stramondo  will  help  us 
now  as  Assistant  Secretary.  She  lives  in 
Lexington,  Massachusetts,  and  is  handy  to 
Lasell.  We  will  work  together  on  the 
25th  reunion  and  hope  for  a  big  turnout. 

Immediately  following  luncheon  a  ser- 
vice was  held  to  lay  the  cornerstone  and 
dedicate  the  new  secretarial  building  up 
the  hill  from  the  athletic  field.  The  build- 
ing has  been  named  in  honor  of  Priscilla 
Alden  Wolfe  '19,  mother  of  Virginia 
Wolfe  Perkins  '44. 

Our  Queen,  Mary  Keating,  came  to  mind 
as  we  watched  the  Seniors,  in  Cap  and 
Gown,  lead  the  procession  to  the  Crow's 
Nest.  The  Court  attendants,  in  pastel 
satin  robes,  were  so  lovely  and  so  young 
.  .  .  we  must  have  been  too! 

During  the  evening  we  enjoyed  dinner 
at  Valle's  Steak  House  on  Route  9  and 
concluded  with  more  chatting  and  finally 
farewells  with  vows  to  meet  again  in  five 
years.  Attending  the  dinner  were:  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Miles  Olson  (Ann  Preuss),  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Albert  Manning  (Barbara  Birch), 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Douglas  Brownell  (Betty 
Duerr),  Marjorie  Langworthy  Hegeman, 
Priscilla  Spence  Hall,  Dorothy  Marr  Peck-

Jeanne  A.  Revene,  Janet  Ryder  Robinson, 
Elaine  Towne  Batson,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Morris 
F.  Stoddard,  Jr.,    (Nathalie  Monge). 

Those  attending  luncheon  were:  Evelyn 
Nurkiewicz  Nicholas,  her  husband  and 
three  children,  Frances  Beebe  Jones,  Phyl-

1948  Talks   It  Up 


The  15th  Reunion  of  the  Class  of  1948 
was  a  gala  occasion.  There  was  a  fine 
delegation  on  hand,  headed  by  Class  Sec- 
retaries. Berry  Groff  from  California  and 
Mim  Day  Butcher  from  Florida.  High- 
light of  the  afternoon  was  the  announce- 
ment of  a  gift  to  the  College  in  memory 
of  Angela  Mainini  Anastasi.  The  memo- 
rial committee,  with  Dorothy  Piranian 
Ryan  as  chairman,  chose  a  projector  to 
be  used   by  the   Science  classes. 

A  summary  of  individual  activities  — 
gleaned  from  the  questionnaires  —  will 
appear  in  a  later  issue  of  the  LEAVES. 
For  the  present,  pictures  tell  their  own 
lively  story.

Diane  Palady  Barry,  proud  mother  of 
1963  June  Queen's  crownbearer,  Heather 
Barry  writes:  "Jim  and  I  adopted  our  son 
just  before  Christmas.  Need  I  say  how 
happy  we  are.  Westboro  is  perfect  for  the 
Barry  clan  —  Craig  l1/^  Debbie  4y2  and 
Heather  6. 

Jean  Sargent  Lee  boasts  of  a  "real  joy" 
—  her  third  child,  second  daughter,  Sally 
Osgood  Lee. 

It's  number  seven  in  Dode  Molan 
Wheaton's  household  —  a  ten-pound  boy 
in  May.  "We  now  have  four  boys  and 
three  girls.  At  this  rate,  I  can  only  dream 
of  returning  to  campus  for  a  visit." 

Jim  and  Ann  Fletcher  Wilson  bought

Offspring  Deborah  is  now  8,  Scott  6, 
Susan  3V2,  and  Fletcher  2.  We  also  have  a 
French  poodle,   Faux  Pas." 

Kathryn  Poore  Hamel  is  a  victim  of  the 
famous  (infamous?)  California  Freeway: 
"Shall  be  moving  shortly,  the  Freeway  is 
coming  through  our  living  room!" 

Nancy  Clarke  Ryder's  daughter  Carol 
Anne  is  now  11.  Nancy  is  doing  private- 
duty  nursing  and  justs  loves  it. 

It's  country  living  for  Natalie  Knight 
Rogers'  family:  "Moved  in  September  to 
a  house  four  miles  from  the  town  of 
Northville  (Michigan).  We  have  four 
acres  and  one  hundred  twenty  peach  trees ! 
Hope  to  get  some  horses  for  the  gals 
(four  daughters  and  myself).  Summers 
are  pretty  busy  —  we're  still  operating  a 
Dairy  Queen  in  Detroit.

"After  leaving  our  oldest  —  David  11, 
and  Mark  9,  at  camp  in  New  Hampshire 
—  Jon  (41/2)  and  I  spent  a  weekend  with 
Lois  Schaller  Toegemann  and  husband,

Bertha  White  Sprague  is  ever  "proud  and 
happy  to  have  had  the  opportunity  of  at- 
tending the  Seminary  under  the  splendid 
leadership  and  guidance  of  Dr.  Bragdon, 
Miss  Carpenter  and  Miss  Hotchkiss.  To- 
day's Development  program  at  the  College 
thrills  me,  and  the  LEAVES  bring  back 
many  happy  memories." 

Ellen  McGrew  Hollenbeck  proudly  an- 
nounces the  arrival  of  her  first  great-grand- 
child on  November  6,  1963. 


1905 

Barbara  Vail  Bosworth  and  Edith 
Harber  Wright  have  the  opportunity  to 
visit  with  each  other  fairly  often,  now  that 
Barbara  is  in  Oregon. 

The  Class  extends  its  deepest  sympathy 
to  Grace  Rowe  Vail  whose  husband, 
Charles,  recently  passed  away. 

Eila  Patterson  Rogers'  new  address  is 
1773  Parnell  Road,  Eugene  1,  Oregon. 
Eila  has  resigned  her  position  as  house- 
mother at  Oregon  College  and  is  now 
situated  in  her  own  apartment,  near  her 
son  John. 


1910 

Julia  Hamilton  Peters:  "Now  I'm  a  great- 
grandmother  with  ten  grandchildren.  The 
children,  one  family,  live  in  Portland, 
Oregon  —  the  son  and  daughter  in  Great 
Falls.  Never  a  dull  moment  for  both  my 
husband  and  me." 

Mildred  Goodall  Fairbanks  writes:  "I 
have  11  grandchildren  and  one  great- 
granddaughter.  Love  Florida  living  as  I 
enjoy  warm  weather,  and  play  golf  twice 
a  week.  I  also  work  at  the  Miami  Heart 
Institute  and  am  active  in  the  Miami 
Cancer  Chapter." 

Irma  Levi  Levy  sends  "best  wishes  for  a 
wonderful  year  —  and  many  more  to 
come !" 

Margherita  Dike  Hallberg  and  Mary 
Lombard  Courtney  are  planning  to  motor 
to  Florida,  stopping  in  New  Orleans  for  a 
visit  with  Mildred  Snyder  Grant. 

Lucy  Aldrich  Berston  spent  an  evening 
in  Dallas  with  Tot  McLean  Hunt.  Lucy 
adds:  "The  new  buildings  and  all  the 
changes  at  Lasell  look  wonderful  to  me." 


1907 

Jennie  Drew  Hinman  x-'07  writes  that 
she  and  her  husband  celebrated  their  50th 
wedding  anniversary  two  years  ago.  The 
Hinmans  have  four  sons  and  sixteen 
grandchildren. 

Lilian  Douglass  Heeb  reports  "a  delight- 
ful Christmas  Festival  Tour  of  three  weeks 
to  Mexico.  Ida  Sisson  Craver  and  husband 
are  looking  forward  to  a  similar  trip  in 
early  February." 

1908 

We  extend  sincere  sympathy  to  Charlotte 
Ryder  Hall,  whose  husband,  Mr.  Clifford 
Hall,  passed  away  in  December  1963. 


1909 

Constance  Blackstock  writes:  "Have  had 
a  lovely  visit  with  Marguerite  Mcllvain 
Ricker  x-'29  and  her  husband,  who  manage 
the  Hotel  LaPierre  in  Ocean  Grove,  New 
Jersey.  Jane  Gray  '29  was  here  for  a 
weekend,  and  I  enjoyed  meeting  with  Alice 
Graham  x-'29  in  Harwichport  (Mass.)  last 
August.  It  was  a  joy  to  see  these  former 
students.  Lasell  has  cause  to  be  proud  of 
her  Alumnae."

had  a  wonderful  summer  in  Northern 
Europe  —  visiting  Scotland,  England,  Hol- 
land, Norway,  Denmark  and  Sweden. 

Alleda  Burnett  Arneson  writes  that  she 
is  in  Winter  Park,  Florida  again  —  visit- 
ing a  Minnesota  friend  at  "Whispering 
Waters"  on  Morse  Blvd.  Alleda  adds: 
"Do  hope  some  Lasell  friends  will  come 
this  way  —  I'll  be  here  until  May,  1964." 


Strain  Nutter's  ('17)  annual  Lasell  picnic 
at  Pocasset. 

Helen  Overholser  Towle  is  looking  for- 
ward to  a  winter  visit  with  Margaret 
Trice  Gibbens  x-'l6. 

And  Marion  Lerch  Mehle  hopes  that  in 
1966  her  "annual  trip  East  from  California 
will  coincide  with  1916's  50th  Reunion  at 
Lasell." 

The  Class  extends  sympathy  to  Dorothy 
Crane  Crowe,  whose  husband  passed  away 
in  April  1963,  after  a  long  illness. 

1917 

From  Mary  Louise  Taylor  Gish:  "Still 
enjoy  my  work  as  Secretary  for  the 
Denver  Area  Association  of  the  Blind.  I 
find  working  for  and  with  the  blind  most 
interesting." 

The  Class  extends  sincere  sympathy  to 
Edith  Holman  Dolliver  x-'17,  whose  hus- 
band, Garrett  B.  Dolliver,  passed  away  in 
April,  1963. 

1918 

Helen  Smith  Stone  writes  that  she  is 
sorry  to  have  missed  the  45th  reunion. 
Helen  now  has  four  grandsons  and  one 
granddaughter. 

From  Dorothy  Barnes  Paine:  "Our  45th 
Reunion  was  wonderful !  Only  wish  that 
more  could  have  been  there.  I'm  already 
looking  forward  to  our  50th." 

The  most  recent  greeting  from  Mid 
Cary  Hill  was  posted  par  avion  at  Cannes. 
"We  are  now  en  route  to  Italy,  Switzer- 
land, Germany,  Holland  and  the  British 
Isles.  The  Cote  d'Azur  is  a  fabulous  spot 
—  sunny  and  warm  —  the  flowers  are 
gorgeous.     Best    greetings    to    all." 


1916 

Wilda  Berkey  Cartland  x-'l6  spent 
Thanksgiving  with  son  Jack  and  family: 
then  on  to  Orlando,  Florida  fo-  Christmas 
with  daughter  Joy   (Cartland   Fowler  '44). 

From  Edna  Christensen  Beckwith:  "My 
husband  retired  in  July  —  and  now  our 
dream  is  coming  true  —  on  January  11  we 
sail  from  New  York  for  a  trip  around 
the  world." 

Dr.  Carol  Rice  continues  "to  look  for  a 
successor  —  so  I  may  retire."  Christmas 
1962  was  spent  with  sister  Katherine 
(Rice  Broock  '20),  and  last  September 
Carol  worked  with  May  Fogg  '19  on  the 
International  Hockey  Tour. 

Summer  guests  of  Mabel  Straker  Kim- 
ball at  Harwich  Port  included  Marion 
Griffin  Wolcott,  Freda  Griffin  Leining  '20,

Wilson,  with  a  cordial  invitation  to  visit 
them  at  5590  Williams  Drive,  Fort  Myers

Mexico  and  Florida. 

May:  Sold  our  cottage  at  Fort  Myers

ners in  the  Kalamazoo  Country  Club 
Member-Guest  Tournament.  We  have  a 
brand  new  grandson  —  born  in  the  Ameri- 
can Hospital  in  Paris.  His  mother  and 
father  (Ambassador  to  Dahomey,  West 
Africa)  were  en  route  to  the  States." 

Mercie  Nichols  is  busy  with  plans  for 
45th  Reunion;  Frances  Coombs,  ever  active

From  Eloise  Carey  Wadley:  "I  am  very 
busy  with  Community  Concerts,  active  in 
the  First  Congregational  Church  —  Treas- 
urer of  Women's  Fellowship,  Treasurer  of 
Saginaw  General  Hospital  Gift  Shop  and 
active  in  the  Mid-Michigan  Alumnae  Club 
of  Alpha  Chi  Omega." 

A  recent  request  from  Marion  Eaton 
Gumaer:  "Do  wish  we  might  have  more 
1920  class  news !  I  am  still  blessed  with 
good  health,  a  wonderful  husband  and 
seven  grandchildren." 


1922 

Elizabeth  Laughlin  Wadsworth's  (x-'22) 
recent  trip  abroad  included  visits  in  En- 
gland, France,  Italy  and  Spain.  Another 
1963  European  traveler  was  Theresa 
Thompson  Osborne. 

From  Florida,  Florence  Archibald  Stanly 
writes:  "Still  reliving  that  perfect  trip  to 
Lasell  and  visits  with  New  England 
friends  —  now  two  years  ago.  Keep  busy 
here  —  the  grandchildren  and  the  usual 
civic  affairs.  Would  welcome  a  phone  call 
from  any  Lasellites,  who  happen  to  be  in 
the  Jacksonville  area.  Just  dial:  EV  9-6319."

40th  REUNION 

Well,  my  dears,  pull  up  a  chair  and  be 
comfortable  while  I  tell  you  about  our 
40th  Reunion  and  the  wonderful  time  we 
had  together. 

We  wish  you  all  had  been  able  to  "come 
back"  but  twelve  of  us  were  present  at 
the  Luncheon  at  Lasell  and  what  a  good- 
looking  group  they  were:  Florence 
Boehmcke  Edmondson,  Nance  Mill- 
spaugh,  Claire  Parker  Everett,  Lovina 
Smith  Steffian,  Ruth  Hopkins  Spooner, 
Lucy  Kellogg  Pels,  Dorothy  Chase  Scott, 
Ruth  Dinsmore  Sayward,  Margaret  Bullock 
Reed,  Antoinette  Meritt  Smith,  Nevetta 
J.  Smith  (my  sister  and  a  loyal  and  true 
"step-daughter"  of  Lasell)  and  your  Life 
Secretary  —  Adrienne  Smith  Stone.  Your 
Scribe  found  some  deep  purple  pansies, 
tied  them  with  white  ribbon,  on  which  '23 
was  conspicuously  painted  in  purple  ink, 
and  so  our  identification  (as  if  we  needed 
anything  of  the  kind)  was  complete.  It 
was  the  consensus  of  opinion  that  we  were 
a  "young-looking  group  of  'old  girls'  "  ! 

At  the  Alumnae  meeting  we  presented 
our  class  gift  to  the  College  and  we  gave 
a  check  in  the  amount  of  $425.00  to 
Barbara  Iris  Johnson,  Alumnae  President. 
I   shall   always   be   very   grateful    to    those 


who  contributed  so  generously.  The  fol- 
lowing gals  contributed  to  the  gift,  direct- 
ed to  the  Alumnae  Scholarship  Fund: 
Jessie  Watters,  Nance  Millspaugh,  Eliza- 
beth Mitchell  Ridout,  Claire  Parker  Ever- 
ett, Dorothy  Chase  Scott,  Margaret  Bullock 
Reed,  Louisa  Venable  Kyle,  Ruth  Hopkins 
Spooner,  Marjorie  Lowell  Weeks,  Anna 
Bullock  Thornton,  Florence  Boehmcke 
Edmondson,  Evelyn  Shidler  Robertson, 
Carolyn  Colton  Avery,  Helen  Hinshaw 
Toohey,  Marion  Austin  Hakewessell 
(x-'23),  Ruth  Dinsmore  Sayward,  Antoi- 
nette Meritt  Smith,  Anne  Daugherty 
Slater,  Ida  A.  Markert,  Lovina  Smith 
Steffian,  Lucy  Kellogg  Pels,  and  Adrienne 
Smith  Stone. 

After  the  Alumnae  meeting,  the  dedica- 
tion of  the  new  Priscilla  Alden  Wolfe 
Secretarial  Building,  and  the  President's 
Reception  (following  the  crowning  of  the 
June  Queen)  the  girls  .  .  .  with  the  ex- 
ception of  Toni,  who  had  duties  to  per- 
form as  the  wife  of  the  Chairman  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees,  and  Hoppy,  who  wanted 
to  revisit  Gardner  Hall,  came  to  your 
Scribe's  home  in  West  Newton  for  the 
remainder  of  the  afternoon.  We  had  a 
wonderful  visit  together,  enjoyed  refresh- 
ments, and  then  were  off  to  the  Pillar 
House  for  our  Reunion  meeting.  Lucy  and 
Ruth  had  to  leave,  much  to  our  regret. 
Lucy  had  to  return  to  Maine  that  after- 
noon. So  there  were  ten  who  shared  in 
the  Reunion  Dinner  and  enjoyable  eve- 
ning in  a  private  dining  room  (reserved 
by  your  Scribe  two  years  ago).  After 
a  delicious  dinner  we  got  down  to  busi- 
ness and  voted  to  confirm  the  gift  of 
$425.00  to  the  Alumnae  Scholarship  Fund 
—  and  discussed  the  Dorothy  Merwin 
Brown  Scholarship  and  Memorial  Fund 
which  we  established  five  years  ago.  Un- 
fortunately the  scholarship  fund  did  not 
"build  up"  as  anticipated  and  we  felt  it 
should  now  be  given  to  the  College  with 
the  expressed  understanding  that  a  piece 
of  equipment  for  the  new  classroom  build- 
ing be  purchased  in  memory  of  our  de- 
ceased classmates  of  '23  and  be  so  marked. 

Now  for  the  news!  We  have  "found" 
Dorothy  Chase  Scott  again.  Her  address 
is:  91  Tulip  Avenue,  Queen  Building, 
Floral  Park,  New  York.  Dorothy  was  the 
delightful  and  thoughtful  house  guest  of 
your  Scribe  over  the  Big  Weekend  and 
what  a  wonderful  time  we  had  talking 
until  all  hours  of  the  morning.  It  was  a 
joy  to  renew  and  review  our  long  friend- 
ship. It  was  with  sadness  we  learned 
that  her  husband  had  passed  away  on  De- 
cember 24,  1962.  She  is  surrounded  by 
the  love  of  their  two  children  and  her 
three  step-children  and  twelve  grandchil- 
dren —  their  pictures  are  delightful.    She

LASELL    LEAVES 


hopes  to  fly  to  Paris  during  the  summer 
of  1964  to  visit  family  and  friends.  She 
has  invited  your  Scribe  to  visit  her  in 
New  York  and  when  that  takes  place 
we'll  have  a  Reunion  for  all  '23ers  in  the 
New  York  area. 

"Boehmcke"  is  still  the  young-looking 
gal  she  always  was  and  it  is  hard  to 
believe  that  our  Class  Baby  (her  Bobby) 
has  four  children  and  is  a  Commander 
in  the  Naval  Reserve.  Jimmy  has  four 
children  and  is  the  "pro"  at  the  Pittsfield 
Country  Club.  Harry  is  retired  and  from 
all  we  hear,  it  must  agree  with  this  fine 
couple. 

Anne  Bullock  Thornton  is  ever  the  busy 
lady.  She  writes  "I  had  hoped  to  attend 
the  Reunion  with  Louise  Morgan  .... 
but  find  my  niece,  nephew  and  baby  will 
be  with  us.  However,  my  greetings  to  all 
—  have  a  marvelous  time."  She  is  Vice 
Chairman  of  the  Office  of  Volunteers,  Prov- 
idence Chapter,  American  Red  Cross,  and 
a  member  of  the  Executive  Committee  of 
Workshops,  Inc.  of  Rhode  Island,  Coun- 
cil of  Community  Services,  and  active  in 
Pembroke  College  Alumnae  activities. 

Margaret  Bullock  Reed  has  three  chil- 
dren and  twelve  grandchildren.  Son 
Charles  is  a  pilot  for  Aramco  in  Dhahran, 
Saudi  Arabia.  He  has  three  sons.  Son 
Hugh  is  doing  missile  work  for  Western 
Electric  in  New  York  City  —  is  the 
father  of  three  daughters  (including  twins) 
and  two  sons.  Margaret's  daughter,  Eliza- 
beth Priebe,  is  married  and  also  lives  in 
Reading.  Her  husband  is  an  engineer  for 
Avco  and  they  have  one  girl  and  four 
boys.  Margaret  has  many  hobbies  —  does 
hooked  rugs  for  a  specialty  —  does 
beautiful  arts  and  crafts  work  —  travels 
considerably  —  and  loves  to  go  fishing 
"up  country".  Your  Scribe  is  grateful  to 
her  for  offering  to  help  on  the  Reunion 
and  at  any  other  time  '23  decides  to  do 
something. 

"Connie"  Colton  Avery  was  not  able  to 
come  and  we  were  sorry  not  to  see  her. 
She  has  two  grandchildren  —  Trudy  Ann, 
age  5  and  Tammy  Lu,  age  3.  Connie  re- 
ported she  had  had  a  fine  spring  visit  to 
Hawaii. 

It  was  good  to  see  Ruth  Dinsmore 
Sayward  and  to  know  she  is  living  in 
Arlington.  She  brought  Lucy  Kellogg 
Pels  with  her  and  we  owe  her  a  big 
thank  you  for  doing  that.  Ruth  wrote  on 
her  questionnaire:  "am  expecting  a  grand- 
child in  August." 

Anne  Daugherty  Slater  sent  a  charm- 
ing picture  of  "Anne  and  Bob".  Despite 
the  heartbreak  of  losing  her  only  son, 
Anne  writes  that  she  is  busy  "with  mak- 
ing miniatures  for  shadowbox  rooms, 
painting    and    gardening    and    keeping    up 


with  the  activities  of  nineteen  nieces  and 
nephews  and  their  offspring."  She  and 
her  husband  were  attending  a  June  con- 
vention in  Indiana  and  added:  "I'll  be 
thinking  of  you  and  would  love  to  be 
there." 

From  Sherman  Oaks,  California,  came 
a  message  from  Florence  Gifford  Flem- 
ing. "Gifford"  writes  "I  am  clerk  at  the 
Valley  Presbyterian  Hospital.  I'd  give  any- 
thing to  be  in  Auburndale  —  love  to  all 
my  old  friends."  Son  Reed  has  a  daughter, 
Deirdre,  and  daughter  Shirley  has  a  son, 
Steven.  Hope  we  shall  see  Deirdre's  name 
on  the  Lasell  roster! 

A  letter  sent  to  Ruth  Hight  Guild  at 
358  Hill  Avenue,  Glen  Ellyn,  Illinois, 
came  back  "unknown  —  no  longer  at  this 
address".  Can  anyone  send  a  new  address 
for  her? 

Ruth  Hills  Livermore  writes  from  Lazy 
J  B  Ranch  in  Wapiti,  Wyoming,  "no  time 
for  trips  or  hobbies.  Have  just  acquired 
a  small  ranch  and  we  are  raising  Hereford 
cattle,  son  John  and  I.  Wish  I  could  be 
with  you." 

"Hoppie"  is  still  the  busy  lady  we've 
always  known.  She  writes:  "much  of  my 
time  is  devoted  to  volunteer  service  for  our 
church  and  in  our  local  hospital  and  the 
county  hospital."  She  has  travelled  widely 
and  lists  her  hobbies  as  gardening,  writing 
and  reading.  She  and  Warren  still  live  in 
Saddle  River,  New  Jersey. 

Helen  Hinshaw  Toohey  writes  from 
Shawnee,  Mission,  Kansas;  "How  can  all 
these  years  have  piled  up  since  that  gradu- 
ation week  in  1923!  I  don't  feel  like  40 
years  has  elapsed  —  and  yet  —  when  I 
see  my  children  and  grandchildren  and 
think  back  on  the  many  happenings  through 
the  years,  it  is  quite  convincing.  We  have 
two  married  children,  son,  William  H. 
and  a  daughter,  Barbara  Toohey  Smith. 
Between  them  we  have  four  grandchildren 
—  and  one  on  the  way.  Our  travelling 
has  been  confined  to  the  Eastern  seaboard 
because  our  children  are  there.  Have  en- 
joyed teaching  speech  and  reading  through 
the  years,  not  a  heavy  schedule,  but  enough 
to  be  stimulating  and  fun." 

Two  lovely  snapshots  of  Marjorie  Lowell 
Weeks  came  with  a  heartwarming  letter. 
I  must  pass  on  one  sentence  which  pleased 
your  Scribe.  Marjorie  writes:  "I  am  very 
proud  of  you  and  Toni  and  only  wish 
more  of  the  class  of  1923  could  take  an 
active  part  in  Lasell  'doings.'  "  Her  daugh- 
ter, Janet  Roberts,  lives  outside  Chicago 
and  "we  have  two  darling  grandchildren  • — 
Cynthia  and  Timmy.  Spent  part  of  the 
winter  in  Florida  as  usual  and  hope  when 
Walter  retires  we  can  go  to  Europe  for 
an  extended  stay.  Gardening  and  photog- 
raphy are  my  -hobbies."    From  the  pictures,

we  all  agreed  that  Marjorie  looked  "just 
the  same". 

What  a  joy  it  was  to  hear  from  Ida 
Markert.  In  her  letter  she  wrote;  "It 
was  mighty  thoughtful  of  you  to  suggest 
that  Dorothy  Chase  Scott  contact  me  about 
coming  to  our  40th  Reunion.  Her  sweet 
friendliness  over  the  telephone  made  me 
want  very  much  to  join  you  all,  but  un- 
fortunately I  am  unable  to  do  so  because 
of  another  commitment.  Do  get  in  touch 
with  me  when  you  come  to  New  York. 
I  hope  you  and  your  sister  had  a  most 
enjoyable  time  in  Bermuda.  I'd  love  to 
go  back  again  some  day.  Mce  recent 
vacations  have  taken  me  to  Europe,  the 
Mediterranean  and  the  Caribbean.  Am 
uncertain  as  to  what  can  be  arranged  for 
this  year.  I'll  be  retiring  this  fall  from 
the  New  York  Mission  Society  where 
I've  been  working  for  the  past  six  years. 
Please  extend  my  greetings  to  all  the  Re- 
unioners.  I'll  be  thinking  of  you."  The 
night  '23  "took"  caps  and  gowns,  your 
Scribe  hid  in  the  closet  in  Ida's  and 
Jessie  Waiters'  room.  Enough  said.  Car- 
penter has  many  memories. 

Nance  Millspaugh  —  we  couldn't  have  a 
Reunion  without  her  cheery  presence  — 
has  served  thirty-five  years  as  a  troop 
leader  for  the  Girl  Scouts,  and  is  now  a 
Council  member.  She  says  she  has  ac- 
complished "very  little"  but  when  you 
think  of  all  the  girls  who  have  come 
under  her  influence  and  leadership,  you 
know  it  should  read  "very  much"  She 
and  "Boehmcke"  came  together.  What  a 
grand  pair  they  are. 

From  Tazewell.  Virginia.  Betty  Mitchell 
Ridout  writes:  "We  have  one  son,  aged  22, 
graduated  from  Virginia  Military  Institute. 
Now  serving  in  the  Army  in  Fairbanks, 
Alaska.  I  still  love  sports,  but  do  more 
watching  than  playing  these  days." 

The  busiest  person  I  know  is  Claire 
Parker  Everett.  She  looks  so  wonderfully 
well  I  feel  sure  that  keeping  busy  is  the 
secret.  She  is  secretary  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees  at  the  Cape  Cod  Hospital,  trustee 
of  the  Massachusetts  SPCC,  Chairman  of 
the  District  Nursing  Association,  Chair- 
man of  the  Heart  Drive,  Chairman  of  the 
T.B.  Drive,  interested  in  church  work  and 
Vice  Chairman  of  the  Cape  Cod  Red  Cross. 

Lucy  Fuller  Foster  writes  from  South 
Portland,  Maine,  they  have  two  girls  — 
"one  married  and  one  still  in  college. 
Three  grandchildren.  Interested  in  church 
work,  hospital  and  garden  club." 

Del  Smith  Steffian  came  to  the  Reunion 
and  reports  her  son  is  "in  business  with 
his  father,  and  number  two  boy  will  join 
the  company  in  the  fall."  We  are  proud 
that  Del's  husband,  Ted,  was  the  architect 


for  the  Priscilla  Alden  Wolfe  Building 
which  was  dedicated  on  Reunion  Day. 

Louisa  Venable  Kyle  wrote  from  Lon- 
don Bridge,  Virginia;  "Love  to  all  the 
class  of  1923.  Sorry  I  can't  be  with  you, 
but  I  shall  be  attending  my  husbands  40th 
Reunion  at  the  University  of  Virginia  Law 
School."  The  Kyles  have  three  daughters 
and  eight  grandchildren.  Although  Louisa 
continues  to  do  some  free  lance  writing, 
she  also  finds  the  time  to  do  some  travel- 
ling (which  she  admits  she  loves).  She 
has  been  abroad  three  times  —  took  a 
trip  to  Chicago  last  October  where  she 
visited  Helene  Grashorn  Dickson  '22  and 
Betty  Mitchell  Ridout. 

Evelyn  Shidler  Robertson  sent  word; 
"So  sorry  I  can't  be  with  you  for  our 
40th,  but  we  have  already  planned  a  trip 
north  to  see  our  three  children  and  twelve 
grandchildren.  We  have  lived  in  Florida 
(Sarasota)  nearly  four  years  —  and  love 
it.  I  have  been  doing  a  lot  of  'shelling' 
and  am  building  up  such  a  collection  we'll 
have  to  move  out  of  the  house  soon! 
We  did  have  a  wonderful  visit  with  Lovina 
and  Ted  Steffian  two  years  ago.  Love  to 
all!" 

Jessie  Watters  is  one  of  the  most 
talented  of  our  Class.  Through  the 
"grapevine"  I  understand  she  had  an  art 
exhibit  of  her  own  in  New  Haven.  Jessie 
recalled;  "I  saw  Ida  for  a  few  hours  last 
February.  She  had  come  to  New  Haven 
to  preview  a  show  so  I  drove  over  to  see 
her.  My  how  we  talked !  My  home  and 
my  84-year-old  mother  keep  me  busy." 

It  is  with  sadness  that  we  report  the 
death  of  Dorothy  Alexander  Windatt  x-'23, 
on  September  21,  1962.  Our  sympathy 
is  extended  to  Dorothy's  husband  and  to 
her  family. 

A  questionnaire  from  Marion  Austin 
Hakewessell  x-'23,  tells  of  her  son,  Carl, 
who  is  a  registered  architect  in  Hartford, 
Conn;  her  son,  David,  an  engineer  in  the 
Systems  Division  of  Giannini  Controls 
Corporation  of  Duarte,  Calif.;  and  a 
daughter,  Marion,  who  is  a  physics  teacher 
in  Norwalk,  Conn.  Marion  also  writes; 
"Many  trips  to  California  to  see  our  two 
granddaughters,  a  two-month  auto  trip 
through  Europe  in  I960  (wish  it  could 
have  been  longer,  never  seem  to  have 
enough  time),  and  as  for  hobbies  —  just 
about  everything  —  including  genealogy, 
playing  the  organ,  travel  whenever  pos- 
sible." 

Toni  and  Wilder  continue  to  carry  1923 
to  glory  at  Lasell.  No  other  class  can 
boast  —  "we  have  one  of  our  members 
who  is  a  trustee  and  her  husband  is 
Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of 
Lasell !"  We  are,  indeed,  proud  of  the 
Chairman  and  his  lady!

Lucy  Kellogg  Pels  is  teaching  school  in 
North  Edgecomb,  Maine.  As  a  sideline  — 
she  runs  an  antique  shop  with  her  husband 
and  son.  Last  summer  my  sister  and  I 
visited  with  Lucy  and  her  husband  at  their 
shop.  If  you  want  to  see  some  beautiful 
things,  do  stop  at  The  Anchorage  in 
North  Edgecomb. 

We  had  looked  forward  to  seeing 
"Pinkie"  (Puckett  Neill)  and  having  her 
with  us,  but  her  duties  as  secretary  for 
her  daughter,  T.V.'s  popular  Amanda 
Blake,  made  it  difficult  for  travel  at  that 
time. 

We  understand  Norma  Prentis  Phillips' 
son  is  married  and  that  her  daughter  is  in 
Framingham.  Bonnie  Orlady  Hougen's 
husband  has  retired  and  we  heard  that 
he  had  suffered  a  heart  attack,  but  has 
recovered.  Marian  Miller  Byram  is  in  the 
real  estate  business  in  Florida  with  her 
brother.  Marion  Norton  Ede's  (x-'23)  hus- 
band has  retired  and  they  are  living  in 
Gary,  Indiana,  although  they  spent  the 
winter  in  Laguna,  Florida.  Eugenia  Swift 
Lawrence  x-'23,  is  an  active  member  of  the 
Falmouth  Garden  Club.  The  Lawrences 
summer  in  Falmouth  and  winter  at  Delray 
Beach,  Florida. 

And  now  we  come  to  your  Life  Secre- 
tary and  Scribe.  As  you  know,  since  our 
last  Reunion,  I  became  Mrs.  Mason  Hills 
Stone  on  February  27,  I960.  I  have  two 
fine  step-sons,  two  charming  daughters- 
in-law  (one  is  Dorothy  Acuff  Stone  '37) 
and  four  wonderful  grandchildren.  That 
same  year  I  broke  my  right  wrist  and  the 
next  year,  to  show  no  partiality,  I  broke 
my  left  wrist.  Our  home  was  taken  by 
the  State  for  the  famous  Toll  Road  and 
then  I  had  a  coronary  in  February,  1962 
and  was  hospitalized  for  five  weeks.  While 
I  was  recovering,  my  husband  was  oper- 
ated on  for  a  routine  complaint  and 
passed  away  at  the  same  hospital.  I  have 
made  a  fine  recovery  —  but  have  to  slow 
up  a  bit.  We  had  just  been  in  our  new 
home  in  West  Newton  less  than  six 
months  when  he  was  taken  and  it  has 
not  been  easy.  My  sister  lives  with  me 
now  and  we  went  to  Bermuda  just  before 
Reunion.  We  are  seriously  considering 
a  trip  to  Japan  in  the  near  future.  I  have 
always  travelled  widely  and  done  so  much 
volunteer  work  it  is  hard  to  "quiet  down 
a  bit"  at  times.  It  was  my  pleasure  to 
serve  as  President  of  the  Greater  Boston 
Lasell  Club  for  two  years  and  am  still  a 
member  of  the  Board.  Once  a  Lasell  girl, 
always  a  Lasell  girl  holds  true.  I  am  a 
member  of  the  Auburndale  Garden  Club 
and  active  in  the  Newton  Community 
Club,  the  Appalachian  Mountain  Club, 
the  D.A.R.  and  several  smaller  clubs.    My 


pencil  sketching  is  taking  up  some  of  my 
time  and  we  spend  a  great  deal  of  time  at 
our  place  in  Topsham,  Maine.  "Soufle  of 
Smith-stone",  my  miniature  silver  poodle, 
asked  me  to  tell  you  that  the  latchstring 
will  always  be  out  to  the  members  of  the 
Class  of  1923. 

Well,  my  dears,  this  concludes  to  morn- 
ing broadcast.  40th  Reunion  was  perfect 
from  all  but  one  standpoint  —  we  wish 
more  could  have  been  with  us.  Try  to 
come  back  for  the  45th.  Please  remember 
to  send  any  interesting  news.  As  our 
circle  grows  smaller,  let  us  grow  closer 
and  continue  to  "Lift  High  the  Torch".

One  of  the  most  enthusiastic  visitors  to 
Lasell  was  Helen  Earl  Potter  x-'24,  who 
stopped  in  just  before  the  holidays.  Now 
living  in  Stonington,  Connecticut,  the  Pot- 
ters were  visiting  in  Wellesley  before 
making  a  trip  to  Florida  and  the  West 
Coast. 

Adele  Bigham  Nelson  writes  us:  "I  am 
now  Executive  Director  of  the  Corinthian 
Foundation,  Inc.  in  Syracuse,  a  philan- 
thropic foundation  which  operates  a  Sen- 
ior Citizens  Day  Center.  Am  also  pleased 
to  have  been  listed  in  the  latest  edition 
of  Who's  Who  of  American  Women.  On 
top  of  it  all,  I  am  the  proud  grandmother 
of  5." 

Dorothy  Barnard  is  the  Assistant  Die- 
titian at  Radcliffe  College  and  enjoys  it

in  Maine,  last  summer,  visiting  with  Fran 
Bliss  Crosby  at  Blue  Hill  and  with 
Theresa  Thompson  Osborne  '22  at  Belfast. 

From  Elizabeth  Hanna  Anderson  we  hear: 
"Seven  grandchildren  —  scattered  — 
2  English  Setters  and  a  busy  husband  at 
home  help  to  keep  me  busy  —  plus  the 
usual  Red  Cross  work." 

"All  best  wishes  to  1924",  come  from 
Hazel  Small  Eldredge  in  Sandwich,  Mass. 
She  adds:  "We  keep  busy  remodeling  our 
home,  which  was  being  lived  in  in  1690. 
It  is  the  historical  house  mentioned  in 
Jack  Frost's  Cape  Cod  Sketch  Book  as 
'The  House  of  the  Seven  Kitchens'.  My 
husband  and  I  have  a  small  summer  an- 
tique shop  in  one  of  these  delightful 
rooms."

Gertrude  Moeller  Baum's  "most  inter- 
esting Lasell  news  is  to  report  a  delight- 
ful luncheon  with  Evelyn  Suor  Butter- 
worth  '27  last  June.  Our  husbands  were 
attending  the  American  Medical  Society 
Convention  in  Atlantic  City.  It  was  the 
first  time  Evelyn  and  I  had  seen  each 
other  since  our  college  days  —  just  a 
wonderful  reunion!" 

Helen  Duncan  Devereux  and  Roy  are 
now  "enjoying  an  abbreviated  visit  to 
Tapan.  The  year  has  been  an  especially 
hectic  one  —  we  are  really  looking  for- 
ward to  getting  away  from  it  all  —  though 
briefly." 

Muriel  McLauthlin  x-'26  is  a  seasoned 
traveler.  Last  year's  vacation  was  a  22,000- 
mile  Jet  trip  to  Manila,  Bangkok,  Singa-

She  adds:  "This  was  a  most  wonderful

Dear  Girls: 

So  many  thanks  for  the  lovely  Christmas 
greetings. 

Lucy  Field  Wildman  had  a  bout  at  the 
Mayo  Clinic  in  September,  but  was  A.O.K.

"I  am  back  on  the  old  front,"  writes 
Mary  Barton  Libby.  "Very  much  enjoying 
my  work  as  a  school  secretary.  Dee  is  a

forward  to  June  1964  —  seeing  you  ■ — 
and  the  many  improvements  on  the

We  had  a  long  Christmas  letter  from 
Anne  Campbell  Terrell,  x-'37,  parts  of 
which  we  share  with  the  Class.  "David, 
'tall  man'  of  the  family,  has  experienced 
several  adjustments  and  adventures  during 
'63.  Following  a  brimful  senior  year  in 
high  school,  he  embarked  on  his  first 
summer  job.  In  September  he  enrolled  at 
Maryville  College,  located  in  the  scenic 
Smokies,  near  Maryville,  Tenn.  He  was 
soon  burning  the  midnight  oil,  and  though 
he  is  working  harder  than  ever,  we're 
sure  that  he  is  finding  it  all  worthwhile.

and  District  meetings.  He  hopes  to  get  a 
degree  in  Business  Administration  before

"Jim  Sr.,  overly  busy  with  a  demanding

Chief  of  the  Division  of  Radiological 
Health  of  USPHS,  just  returned  from  a

Combining  business  and  pleasure  last

Anne  has  concentrated  on  new  and  old 
hobbies  —  in  addition  to  the  usual  church

Marie  MacGregor  Woodward  writes: 
"We  have  built  a  lovely  new  home  in 
Keene,  New  Hampshire.  My  daughter, 
Joan,  is  now  working;  Ken,  a  senior  in 
High  School;  and  Pam,  a  first  grader."

Dorothy  Brewer  Carlson  and  family  had 
an  excellent  trip  last  summer  with  stops 
at  Massena  and  Niagara  Falls,  New  York. 
They  then  continued  on  to  Duluth  and 
Minneapolis,  Minnesota. 

A  Christmas  card  from  Norma  Forsberg 
Burman  included  the  following  message: 
"We  feel  very  much  at  home  in  Solon, 
Ohio,  now  and  would  hate  to  leave 
though  we  still  enjoy  visiting  family  and 
friends  back  East.  Warren  and  Curt  are 
involved  in  Boy  Scouts  and  Cindy  and  I 
are  beginning  our  work  in  Girl  Scouts. 
Homework  keeps  the  children  busy  —  and 
Mother  too!   Curt  is  now  12  and  Cindy,  9."

how  many  Lasellites  just  happen  to  drop 
in.  I  am  President  of  our  local  Woman's

1959  when  I  returned  to  Massena  (N.Y.) 
to  be  with  my  mother.  I  worked  in  the 
advertising  department  at  The  Massena 
Observer  —  sold  advertising  (display), 
wrote  copy,  made  layouts  and  worked  on 
special  promotions.  In  December  1963  I

TO  THE  SCIENCE  CLUB  BECAUSE 
ANGELA  ENJOYED  HER  SCIENCE

words  submitted  by  Dorothy  Piranian 
Ryan  and  announced  by  Mim  Day  Butcher 
at  our  June,  1963  reunion.  The  gift  in 
memory  of  Angela  Mainini  Anastasi  from 
contributing  members  of  the  Class  of  '48

half of  the  College,  Dr.  Tewksbury  has  ex- 
pressed sincere  appreciation  to  all  who  con- 
tributed to  the  Angela  Mainini  Anastasi 
Memorial  Fund. 

Thirty-seven  '48'ers  gathered  together  for 
the  15th  Reunion  on  campus.  It  could  not 
have  been  a  nicer  day  or  a  nicer  time  for 
all.  The  following  statistics  have  been 
compiled  so  far  as  we  have  been  informed 
(they  do  not  include  x-'48  information  as 
it  is  not  complete) : 

Married:  188.  Babies:  373  (167  girls, 
196  boys,  10  unknown  as  to  whether  boy 
or  girl). 

As  far  as   we   know.  Three  members   of 


The  Trevisans 
(Nancy  O'Rourke  '48) 

the  Class  have  SIX  children:  Nancy 
O'Rourke  Trevisan,  4  girls,  2  boys;  Laurie 
Pierce  McGrail,  2  girls,  4  boys;  Gloria 
Wurth  Harrison,  4  girls,  2  boys. 

Again,  as  far  as  we  know,  SEVEN 
members  of  the  Class  have  FIVE  children: 
Sylvia  Dike  Canty,  Dorothy  JoAnn  Han- 
son Long,  Pat  Mangan  Price,  Alice 
Johnson  Thornton,  Natalie  Hall  Olson,

Bonnell  Doe. 

To  our  knowledge,  TWO  members  of 
the  Class  have  TWINS  ! 

Alice  Johnson  Thornton  (girls)  and  May- 
anne  Murray  Lynch  (boys). 

We  found  that  the  '48'ers  were  and  are 
so  "active",  we  thought  you  might  like

Miss  Evelyn  Potts  kindly  shares  the  an- 
nual Christmas  message  from  "all  the 
Wheatons"  (Dode  Molan)  :  "We  are  now  9 
(7  +  2),  ten  pounds  of  Paul  having  been 
added  to  the  crew  last  May.  Cheryl  is  in 
5th  grade,  which  makes  her  practically  a 
teen-ager,  and  still  the  assistant  mother. 
David  and  John  are  almost  twins;  doing 
excellently  in  school,  good  athletes,  and 
student  council  (John).  Jim  loves  school 
and  people  and  mechanical  things,  and  is 
calming  down.  Susan  is  just  plain  scrump- 
tious, and  should  be  preserved  in  a  bottle. 
Elizabeth  is  very  cute  and  very  independent 
and  very  imaginative  and  very  bad;  we 
regularly  threaten  to  give  'it'  away,  but  the 
others   are   also   amused   and  won't  let  us. 

"After  the  extreme  busy-ness  of  the  past 
couple  of  years,  we  took  a  break  this 
summer  to  relax  a  little.  We  had  a  high 
school  girl  (sort  of  a  permanent  helper 
and  baby  sitter)  and  a  boy  (to  mow  the 
lawn  and  work),  and  spent  all  of  this 
freedom  with  the  family;  all  the  kids  took 
swimming  lessons  at  the  village  beach, 
Cheryl  took  tennis,  we  took  walks,  Dode 
and  I  were  the  guests  of  some  very  kind 
friends  at  their  Wisconsin  lake  cabin,  and 
we  took  in  the  ball  games.  This  may  all 
sound  very  natural,  but  it  was  new  to  us. 
By  the  end  of  the  summer,  too,  we  had 
installed  a  regular  playground  for  the  kids 
—  and  the  neighborhood  —  in  the  back 
yard:  a  tent,  sand  box,  tetherball,  swings, 
slide  and  an  unauthorized  baseball 
diamond. 

"The  man  of  the  house  is  still  tiying 
to  keep  Honeywell's  Ordnance  Division 
prosperous,  and  that's  about  all  he  can  say 
about    his    business.     That    frustrates    Dode,

A  "newsy"  Christmas  message  from  Nat 
Hall  Campbell  provided  reports  of  their 
"comings  and  goings"  over  the  past  year. 
During  the  summer  they  attended  a 
"family  reunion"  on  the  Cape.  "Five  chil- 
dren under  six  —  and  three  of  them  in 
diapers !  No  wonder  I  didn't  try  to  do  any 
visiting."  Nat  and  Rog  took  a  "business- 
pleasure"  trip  to  California  in  the  fall  ■ — 
on  the  go  constantly  —  did  all  that  was 
possible  in  a  six  day  period  and  had  a 
"fabulous  time".  Nat  writes  that  their 
biggest  undertaking  for  the  year  has  been 
working  on  the  plans  for  their  new  home. 
"With  luck  —  maybe  we'll  be  in  before

Nigeria.  Both  countries  are  among  the 
world's  top  cocoa  v  producers  ■ —  the  busi- 
ness reason  for  our  trip.  Ed  is  now  be- 
coming quite  interested  in  photography  — 
we  have  many  wonderful  colored  slides  of 
Africa.  Garden  club  activities  are  still 
my  main  interest  —  am  now  recording 
secretary  for  the  local  club  and  also  cor- 
responding secretary  for  the  Garden  Club 
of  New  Jersey;  serve  on  several  committees 
as  well.  In  spite  of  these  duties,  do  find 
time  to  work  in  our  own  garden  —  and 
thoroughly  enjoy  that.  For  a  bit  of  sum- 
mer vacation,  Ed  and  I  chartered  a  sailing 
sloop  —  had  a  grand  time  cruising  along 
the  North  Shore  of  Massachusetts.  Cooked 
and  slept  aboard  —  usually  mooring  at 
one  of  the  many  fine  yacht  basins.  Best 
to  all  at  Lasell !"

Joan  Kearney  Cormay  writes  from  26 
Willard  Road,  Weston,  Mass.:  "We  re- 
cently moved  —  just  six  miles  —  to  a  two- 
year-old,  seven-room  house  in  Weston. 
There  is  a  playroom,  with  fireplace,  in  the 
basement  —  and  an  acre  of  flat  land  — 
and  the  kids  have  been  having  a  marvelous 
time  —  running  like  Indians;  and  on  week- 
days they  are  all  busy  in  the  fine  Weston 
schools.  Two-year-old  Timothy  keeps  me 
company  at  home. 

"Shortly  before  the  holidays  a  group  of 
1951  Day  Hops  started  a  series  of  get- 
togethers  and  we  have  had  a  gay  time 
talking  and  laughing  about  the  old  days. 
Joining  the  parties  were  Edie  Taccone

"Had  a  long  Christmas  letter  from  Dori 
Stewart  Davis  of  Rockaway,  N.  J.  Her 
son,  Glenn,  is  now  iy2\  Wayne,  4y2.  Dori 
and  husband  Dick  vacationed  in  Massa- 
chusetts this  past  summer  —  the  trip 
brought  back  many  fond  memories.  Doris 
also  mentioned  that  she  had  received  a 
wedding  announcement  from  Ann  Ivers. 

"Barbara  Keyes  MacKinnon  was  married 
in  September  and  has  recently  moved  to 
California,  where  her  husband  is  associated 
with  a  Santa  Ana  utility  company.  Shirley 
'Dusty'  Hannifin  Adams  is  in  Los  Altos. 
Her  husband  is  with  the  Connecticut 
General  Life  Insurance  Company,  and  has 
opened  a  regional  office  in  San  Francisco. 
Dusty  declares  she  loves  California  living 


and  is  NOT  missing  the  New  England 
weather.  She  says  too  that  the  children 
seem  to  thrive  on  the  West  Coast  air  — 
Rob  is  six;  Kathy,  three. 

"My  sister-in-law,  Edie  Taccone  Kearney, 
and  Charlie  celebrated  their  November 
wedding  anniversary  in  Bermuda.  Edith's 
father  passed  away  this  fall,  so  our  holi-

"The  young  Cormays  are  growing  so

9,  in  4th  grade;  Ted,  Jr.  will  be  8  on  his 
Daddy's  February  birthday,  and  Charles 
will  be  7  in  April.  Yet  it  seems  only 
yesterday  that  I  was  at  Lasell  without  a 
care  in  the  world  except  to  join  a  good 
bridge  game  in  the  Barn.

are  all  keeping  busy  here  and  thoroughly 
enjoying  our  new  home  —  let's  hope  we 
stay  in  this  one  a  long  time!  Had  a  de-

Jo  Monahan  Garrity  is  "freezing  as 
usual  —  and  not  enjoying  Chicago  winters. 
The  girls  are  having  a  grand  year  ■ —  first 
grade  and  kindergarten.  Tom  is  a  direc- 
tor of  the  Regular  Republicans  and  is  a 
member  of  the  local  zoning  board.  I  am 
involved  with  a  million  projects,  but  plan 
to  'resign'  from  several  groups  —  do  want 
to  have  more  time  with  the  children." 

The  MacMurray  girls  are  "full  of  tricks 
and  as  cute  as  they  come"  —  that  comes 
directly  from  their  mother,  Joan  Cardinal. 
Nancy  is  8;  Ruth,  3,  and  Carol  recently 
celebrated  her  second  birthday. 

Priscilla  Freeman  McCartney  reports: 
"Three  children  and  the  house  keep  me 
busy.  Ricky  (2)  keeps  us  all  busy  and 
delighted.  Jack  is  kept  hopping  at  Ly- 
coming, but  manages  to  fit  in  two  softball 
teams,  one  of  which  he  manages,  bowling 
in  winter  etc.  Then  there's  PTA,  were 
both  active  in  the  Fair  this  year  —  hectic

and  Mary  Jane  White  Miller  occasionally." 

"We  moved  to  Madison  (Conn.)  last 
June.1';  writes  Marion  Elaine  Quavillon 
Tull.  "It  is  a  beautiful,  small  shore  town 
with  three  lovely  beaches  —  we  took  full 
advantage  last  summer.  Both  children 
(David,  9;  and  Sharon,  5)  attend  school 
in  Madison." 

From  Janet  Woodward  Powers:  "All's 
fine.  We  love  Hawaii  and  keep  busy  with 
our  seven  little  —  or  not  so  little  —  ones. 
Would  love  to  see  Lasell,  though." 

Peggyanne  Riker  Miller  and  her  family 
have  moved  into  a  new  home  in  North

and  generally  getting  adjusted,  although 
Bobby  misses  the  snow  in  the  winter. 

Alice  Pittenger:  "Still  working  for 
Uncle  Sam.  Last  year  he  sent  me  on  a

"Charlie  is  now  a  special  agent  with 
Mutual  of  Hartford  Insurance  Company  — 
his  territory  is  northern  Connecticut.  It 
is  a  pleasure  to  have  evenings  and  Satur-

He  is  also  president  of  the  Greater  Hart- 


ford Association  for  Brain  Injured  Chil- 
dren, and  we  devote  much  extra  time  to 
this  very  fine  organization.  Just  before

visor for  the  high  school  fellowship.  It 
is  all  so  rewarding  and  gives  me  much 
opportunity  to  boost  Lasell.  Looking  for-

Mommy  went  to  college."  The  young

Althea  Janke  Gardner  writes:  "We 
have  started  our  new  home  in  Upper

there  by  June.  Our  new  addition  arrived 
in  September,  1963  —  Kathleen  Marie  — 
our  second  girl,  fifth  child.  It's  quite  a 
noisy  household.  I  see  Audrey  Thompson 
Reille,  Janet  Chase  Ash,  Carol  Leake 
Bacon  and  others.  It's  quite  a  'colony' 
around  here!" 

We  extend  sincere  sympathy  to  Eliza-

1959 

Without  doubt,  the  most  unique  of  an- 
nual letters  is  the  Christmas  Edition  of  the 
Boyers'  Barnacle  (Holly  Engel).  Vol. 
Ill  contained  news  of  the  entire  Engel 
family,  and  a  separate  sheet  carried  several 
timely  photos.  We  quote  —  in  part  — 
news  of  especial  interest  to  Holly's  many 
Lasell  friends: 

"Larry  is  still  attached  to  the  USS 
Pomfret.  From  January  to  March  '63  he 
was  Communicator  and  Registered  Publi- 
cations Custodian,  and  at  present  he  is 
Weapons  Officer.  Davey  keeps  me  pretty 
busy  and  along  with  the  regular  routine 
of  keeping  house,  grocery  shopping,  et  al., 
I  manage  to  fill  the  days.  Some  of  the 
lonesome  hours  are  taken  up  with  knitting 
(my  old  hobby),  occasional  bridge  games, 
monthly  luncheons;  and  when  I  go  home  I 
work  with  Mother  and  the  Penny  Pinchers 
of  the  National  Charity  League. 

"I  have  always  believed  that  life  is  a 
process  of  learning  and  that  it  is  a  poor 
day  for  any  of  us  when  we  do  not  learn 
something  new,  but  I  must  confess  that 
our  son  is  such  a  match  for  me  that  I 
sometimes  wonder  who's  teaching  who.  He 
is  an  eager  little  runabout,  going  every- 
where, wild  for  experience  and  adventure. 
Devilish  though  he  may  be,  two  is  one  of 
the  most  entertaining  and  intriguing  ages 
of  man. 

"We  three  had  planned  a  trip  East  to 
see  Larry's  family  in  Virginia  and  then 
on  to  Pensacola  to  see  my  sister  Joan 
and  husband,  when  the  orders  for  Larry's 
departure  arrived.  It  was  decided  that 
Davey  and  I  would  go  anyway  and  we 
started  on  our  way  early  in  July.  This 
was  the  beginning  of  one  of  the  hottest 
summers  I  have  ever  spent. 

"The  drive  from  San  Diego  to  Tucson 
made  me  very  happy  I  was  not  a  pioneer 
travelling  via  covered  wagon.  When  we 
finally  arrived,  our  faces  covered  with  dust 
from  the  desert,  a  pool  never  looked  more 
inviting  than  the  one  at  the  Ramada  Inn. 
Then  came  New  Mexico,  Texas,  Oklahoma. 
Missouri,  Illinois,  Indiana,  Pennsylvania 
and  New  York.  Davey  was  a  real  trooper. 
He  just  loved  the  motels  and  restaurants 
and  was  always  the  first  to  don  a  bathing 
suit.  When  we  reached  Buffalo,  he  looked 
exactly  like  a  gingerbread  man. 

"And,  yes,  we've  done  it  again.  Moving 
just  seems  to  be  a  habit  with  us.  Our 
new  address  in  San  Diego  is  3636  Mt. 
Alvarez  —  we  welcome  all  California 
travelers  and  visitors." 

Levette  Corthouts  Downey  and  husband 
"have  just  purchased  a  home  —  270  years 
old   and   deep   in   the   woods.    We   are  up 


to  the  ears  in  work.  Talked  with  Carol 
Cunningham  Hoyt  soon  after  the  birth  of 
her  daughter  in  October."

Lindsay  Jr.  is  3,  and  son  Scott  Christopher

May,  1964 

To  the  Alumnae: 

The  story  is  told  of  the  Protestant  minister  who  went  to  visit  his  good  friend 
Father  Shannon  at  a  brand-new  Catholic  parish  house.  The  building  was  modern, 
efficient,  even  elegant  in  an  ascetic  sort  of  way. 

The  minister  was  much  impressed,  and  said  so.  His  own  accommodations,  he 
admitted,  were  not  nearly  so  fine.  "Ah  yes,"  said  Father  Shannon,  "but  don't  you 
think  it  is  only  fair,  since  we  are  denied  better  halves,  that  we  should  have  better 
quarters?" 

The  story  is  apocryphal  and  probably  not  true.  But  it  does  serve  to  introduce 
to  Lasell  alumnae  —  who  surely  constitute  the  better  half  of  the  college  corporate 
—  the  growing  need  for  better  quarters  on  campus,  as  well  as  additional  quarters, 
for  the  benefit  of  future  students. 

Lasell's  Board  of  Trustees  has  already  indicated,  in  principle,  that  the  College 
should  try  to  expand  in  coming  years.  Lasell  will  make  every  effort  to  accept  her 
share  of  the  steadily  increasing  number  of  applicants.  This  will  mean,  of  course, 
new  dormitories,  new  dining  facilities.  At  the  same  time,  many  of  our  current 
facilities  are  going  to  have  to  be  expanded  or  replaced. 

Bragdon,  Hawthorne,  Clark  —  the  names  flow  like  ripples  from  the  past. 
Fvery  room  in  those  old  dorms  is  brimming  with  memories.  But  every  room  also  — 
to  be  quite  candid  —  is  brimming  with  repair  and  maintenance  bills.  Those  old 
buildings  are  up  to  one  hundred  years  old  and  more.  They  have  simply  passed 
the  point  of  efficient  operation. 

All  these  factors:  the  need  for  new  dormitories,  dining  facilities,  library, 
gymnasium,  and  classrooms,  are  now  being  correlated  into  a  Master  Plan.  Step  by 
step,  our  building  needs  for  the  next  decade  are  being  analyzed  by  an  architectural 
firm  specializing  in  college  construction.  Various  proposals  under  the  Plan  are  now 
being  reviewed  by  the  Board.    You'll  be  hearing  more  of  them  as  time  goes  on. 

This  past  year,  as  you  will  discover  in  this  issue,  the  Annual  Giving  Fund 
topped  $20,000  —  about  $4,000  more  than  any  previous  year.  This  is  a  praise- 
worthy record  for  which  both  Lasell  and  I  are  grateful.  You  all  have  reason  to 
feel  pleased,  particularly  when  we  remember  the  Fund  was  not  conducted  under 
any  pressure  or  directed  campaign. 

Beginning  next  fall,  we  will  all  be  planning  for  the  new  Lasell.  We  will 
be  working  on  specific  projects,  according  to  pre-established  timetables.  Quite 
frankly,  it  is  going  to  be  a  tremendous  effort,  and  we  will  need  the  loyalty  and 
generosity  of  our  alumnae  even  more  than  we  have  in  the  past. 

I  am  sure  the  goals  can  be  achieved.  I  am  sure  the  new  Lasell  can  be  built. 
Working  together,  we  can  provide  the  better  quarters  for  students  of  the  future, 
and  thereby  strengthen  both  our  College  and  the  cause  of  education. 


LASELL  LEAVES 


LASELL 
REVISITED 


by  Audrey  Jackson  Dade 


Audrey  Jackson   Dade 


On  a  brisk  wintry  morning  last  February,  I  stood  looking  through  glass  doors 
—  into  the  past.  That  Monday  at  Lasell,  the  college  library  in  Bragdon  Hall  was 
deserted,  for  the  girls  had  only  just  returned  from  vacation  following  mid-year 
exams.  But  as  I  peered  through  those  glass  doors,  the  library's  stacks  and  study 
tables  dimmed  and  in  my  mind's  eye  I  saw  the  room  as  I  had  known  it  years 
before.  It  was  then  the  college  dining  room,  its  round  tables  presided  over  by 
such  staunch  disciplinarians  as  Miss  Potter  and  Mile.  LeRoyer.  I  could  almost  hear 
the  clatter  of  heels  as  we  hurried  down  the  stairs  for  lunch. 

Today  Lasell's  undergraduates  —  675  of  them  —  would  overflow  that  dining 
room  in  the  Bragdon  we  knew.  And  this  is  just  one  of  the  many  signs  of  growth 
you  will  see  if  you  return  to  Auburndale  for  your  first  visit  in  many  years,  as  I  did 
last  February.  One  of  the  most  impressive  changes  will  greet  you  as  you  drive  along 
Commonwealth  Avenue  to  Cheswick  Road;  the  white  house  on  the  corner  has  been 
converted  into  the  Administration  Building.  On  the  lawn  a  handsome  sign  reads: 
"LASELL  JUNIOR  COLLEGE  Founded  in  1851."  No  longer  a  seminary  for 
young  ladies,  Lasell  has  come  of  age,  the  oldest  junior  college  in  this  country. 

You  may  ask:  With  all  this  growth,  what's  still  there  that  we  knew?  Bragdon, 
of  course,  still  stands  tall  on  the  hill  above  Woodland  Road.  (There  was  snow 
on  the  hill  the  morning  I  was  there  and  I  inquired  if  the  girls  still  go  down  "belly 
whoppers"  on  steel  trays.  It  seems  not.  Perhaps  undergraduates  now  are  too 
sophisticated  for  our  folly.) 

As  you  enter  Bragdon,  the  rooms  to  the  right  and  left,  which  formerly  housed 
the  administrative  offices,  have  been  restored  to  the  gracious  parlors  of  Bragdon's 
youth.  The  room  on  the  right  deserves  a  special  look  —  so  charming  with  its  white 
walls,  maroon  drapes  and  mahogany  furniture.  (The  room  on  the  third  floor  where 
Marian  Brown   (Schlosser  '26)   and  I  lived,  incidentally,  seems  to  have  shrunk 


LASELL  LEAVES  3 

alarmingly  from  the  size  I  remember.)  Definitely  not  of  our  day  in  the  past  is  a 
large  turquoise  powder  room  on  the  first  floor.  If  powder  rooms  can  be  said  to 
be  baronial,  it  is. 

On  the  grand  tour  I  was  given  that  morning,  I  saw  Carpenter  and  Gardner, 
the  Barn  in  back  and  the  playing  fields.  But  Woodland  Park  School  has  gone,  sold 
for  modern  building  properties.  Its  memory  is  retained,  however,  in  the  new 
Woodland  Dormitory  which  stands  beside  Gardner  and  contains  the  college  dining 
room.  Other  new  buildings,  either  renovated  private  homes  or  recently  completed 
structures,  bear  nostalgic  names:  Ordway,  Wass,  Potter,  Irwin.  Winslow  Hall, 
new  to  me,  houses  the  gymnasium,  which  becomes  an  auditorium  with  the  addition 
of  chairs.  Priscilla  Alden  Wolfe  Hall  is  a  handsome  tan  brick  building  completed 
in  September  1963;  it's  the  scene  of  busy  students  being  trained  as  top-notch 
secretaries. 

As  you  drive  around  Auburndale,  you'll  remember  that  Lasell  has  no  campus 
as  such;  the  good  people  of  the  town  have  simply  taken  the  College  into  their 
midst.  But  you  will  be  amazed  at  the  increase  in  the  number  of  houses  which 
Lasell  now  owns.  You  can  spot  them  by  their  white  paint  and  green  trim.  They 
are  used  as  dormitories  and  as  college  office  space. 

Farrington  Hall  is  another  new  landmark.  It's  a  vast  brownstone  Victorian 
mansion  that  sits  on  a  small  hill  like  a  castle  of  old  and  you  reach  it  up  a  curving 
driveway;  the  College  spent  thousands  of  dollars  to  widen  that  drive  to  make  it 
negotiable  by  fire  trucks.  The  home  was  willed  to  the  College  by  Mrs.  Lucia  Far- 
rington, and  now  houses  seven  classrooms  and  the  Dance  Studio. 

On  Woodland  Road  opposite  the  new  Woodland  Dormitory  stands  the  Presi- 
dent's Home,  also  new  to  my  day.  It  formerly  belonged  to  the  Wentworth  family. 
Now  it  is  occupied  by  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Blake  Tewksbury,  their  two  sons  and  a  large 
and  handsome  cat.  From  Mrs.  Tewksbury  I  learned  of  a  wonderful  dish  named 
Auburndale  Soup;  we  had  it  for  supper  Sunday  night  and  it  was  so  delicious  I 
had  two  bowlfulls.  The  Tewksburys  come  from  Maine  originally  —  he  is  a  Bow- 
doin  graduate  —  and  their  old  family  furniture,  most  of  it  refinished  by  him,  fits 
in  happily  with  the  furnishings  of  the  President's  Home  which  was  redecorated 
by  a  committee  of  the  Board  of  Trustees. 

The  Sunday  I  spent  with  the  Tewksburys  was  the  night  of  the  Beatles  (the 
first  time  they  appeared  on  Ed  Sullivan's  Show).  I  hesitated  to  suggest  to  my 
hosts  that  I'd  like  to  see  Britain's  gift  to  America.  But  in  the  midst  of  our  con- 
versation, a  young  male  voice  called  out,  "Come  on,  Mom,  the  Beatles."  So  we 
all  sat  down  in  front  of  the  TV  in  the  upstairs  living  room  to  watch.  As  you  see, 
Lasell  undergraduates  will  not  be  encouraged  to  live  in  ivory  towers. 

Dr.  Tewksbury  told  me  that,  academically,  the  trend  at  Lasell  now  is  away 
from  Home  Economics  and  the  finishing-school  type  of  course,  toward  professional 
training  as,  for  example,  nursing  and  medical  secretarial  jobs.  The  girls  do  their 
nursing  training  at  The  Newton-Wellesley  Hospital.  Dr.  Tewksbury  mentioned 
one  fact  that  will  interest  you:  the  College  is  finding  that  middle-aged  women  are 
beginning  to  knock  on  Lasell's  door  for  brush-up  courses  in  typing  and  shorthand, 
in  preparation  for  returning  to  office  positions. 

I  saw  the  undergraduates  chiefly  en  masse,  as  they  walked  to  classes  (laden 
with  books,  of  course),  or  when  I  spoke  to  the  student  body  in  Winslow  Hall  on 
job  possibilities  in  the  editorial  field.  They  looked,  as  you  can  imagine,  much 
younger  than  the  undergraduates  of  our  day!  They  were  dressed  in  what  they 
have  apparently  chosen  as  a  kind  of  uniform:  sweaters  and  skirts,  duffle  coats  of 
green,  navy  or  gray,  long  black  socks  and  loafers.    (No  slacks,  by  campus  edict.) 


LASELL  LEAVES 


They  listened  to  the  morning  speaker  that  day  with  extreme  good  manners. 

Seeing  Lasell  again  after  so  many  years  is  like  reaching  into  your  pocket  for 
a  glinting  handful  of  coins  of  the  past.  And  for  those  of  you  who  may  want,  to 
take  the  trip  to  the  campus,  there's  good  news.  A  motel  is  going  up  along  the 
Charles  River  in  Auburndale,  so  the  days  of  trekking  in  and  out  of  Boston,  as 
visiting  alumnae  used  to  do,  will  be  numbered.  If  you're  planning  a  trip  to  New 
England,  keep  this  in  mind  for  a  pleasant  journey  into  the  past  —  and  the  future. 

For  make  no  mistake  about  it.  Lasell  is  growing.  You  will  see  signs  of  it 
everywhere  in  Auburndale  and  you  will  be  proud. 


Audrey  Jackson  Dade  '26,  an  associate  editor  of  The  Reader's  Digest,  was  the 
first  of  three  alumnae  to  participate  in  a  Career  Program  Series  during  the  1963-64 
academic  year.  Audrey's  appearance  was  followed  on  March  2d  by  Louise  Woolley 
Morgan  23,  outstanding  TV  and  radio  personality;  and  on  April  6th  by  Rosalie 
Brightman  Rosen,  fashion  co-ordinator  of  fay' s,  Boston.  Rosalie,  Life  Secretary  of 
the  Class  of  1927 ,  is  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees.

SIXTEENTH  ANNUAL  ALUMNAE  COUNCIL 
MEETINGS  .... 

The  Annual  Meeting  of  Lasell  Alumnae,  Inc.  .  .  . 

The  Sixteenth  Annual  Alumnae  Council  Session  opened  with  a  social  hour 
preceding  dinner  in  Woodland  Hall  on  Friday  evening,  April  3,  1964.  President 
Barbara  Iris  Johnson  '35  extended  greetings  to  all  and  introduced  the  head  table 
guests:  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Blake  Tewksbury,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Wilder  Smith,  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  John  Arnold,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  James  Stanley  and  Mr.  Sebastian  Mignosa.  Mr. 
Smith,  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  explained  the  role  of  alumnae  in  future 
development  plans  of  the  College.  Mr.  Mignosa,  a  member  of  the  Secretarial  De- 
partment, gave  a  report  of  the  improved  teaching  facilities  provided  by  the 
acquisition  of  the  newest  classroom  building,  Priscilla  Alden  Wolfe  Hall. 

Dr.  Tewksbury,  guest  speaker  of  the  evening,  very  cleverly  "unveiled"  the 
master  plan  for  Lasell  of  the  Future.  Ten  years  have  been  set  for  the  realization 
of  this  development  program. 

The  Annual  Meeting  of  Lasell  Alumnae,  Inc.  was  held  on  Saturday,  April  4, 
1964,  in  the  spacious  lecture  room  of  Priscilla  Alden  Wolfe  Hall.  President  Bar- 
bara Iris  Johnson  called  the  meeting  to  order,  and  thanked  the  Board  of  Manage- 
ment for  its  help  during  her  term  of  office.  She  then  introduced  the  weekend 
guests  of  The  Association,  Jane  Burnham  Eliason  '45  and  Carolyn  Lindsay  Stradley 
'46  of  Wilmington,  Delaware. 

The  secretary's  report  was  read  and  approved;  the  treasurer's  report  was  dis- 
cussed and  placed  on  file;  the  auditor's  report  was  accepted. 

Chairman  of  the  Alumnae  Fund,  Louise  Tardivel  Higgins  '37,  announced  the 
total  of  the  1963-64  campaign:  $20,119-83  from  1837  contributors.  Included  in 
the  total  figure  were  six  In  Memoriam  Gifts;  matching  funds  from  twelve  business 
and  industrial  companies;  and  429  "second"  contributions  from  alumnae.  Five  area 
clubs  directed  additional  checks  to  The  Alumnae  Fund:  Chicago,  Long  Island, 
Philadelphia-South  Jersey,  Pittsburgh  and  South  Florida.  Contributions  to  The 
Alumnae  Scholarship  Fund  were  received  from  the  following  clubs:  Westchester- 
Lower  Connecticut,  Rhode  Island,  New  Hampshire,  Worcester,  Eastern  Maine, 
Rochester,  Greater  Boston,  Long  Island,  Buffalo,  Western  Massachusetts  and 
Connecticut  Valley.  Three  clubs  sent  contributions  to  The  Alumnae  Building 
Fund:  Southern  California,  Connecticut  Valley  and  Rhode  Island. 

Shirley  Gould  Chesebro  '33,  chairman  of  the  Scholarship  Committee,  stated 
that  three  scholarships  totaling  $1300  had  been  granted  in  1963-64.  Over  the 
past  ten  years  The  Alumnae  Association  has  awarded  $16,230  to  deserving  students. 

Antoinette  Meritt  Smith  '23  listed  the  projects  completed  with  Alumnae 
funds  this  year: 

1.  $3,700  for  the  purchase  of  a  wrought-iron  fence  to  mark  the  boundaries  of 
the  administrative  offices  at  Commonwealth  Avenue  and  Cheswick  Road. 

2.  $1,374  for  the  furnishings   of  the   entrance   hall,   including  the  bronze 
plaque,  at. Priscilla  Alden  Wolfe  Hall. 

3.  $2,898  for  landscaping  at  Priscilla  Alden  Wolfe  Hall. 

Barbara  Johnson  announced  that  Mr.  Leonard  Wolfe  has  offered  evergreens 
from  his  New  Hampshire  property  to  be  replanted  in  the  vicinity  of  the  new 
classroom  building.  These  will  serve  as  a  living  memorial  to  the  late  Priscilla 
Alden  Wolfe  '19.   It  was  voted  that  Mr.  Wolfe  be  thanked  for  this  eenerous  offer.

WHO  IS  SHE???? 

We  are  asked  the  question  by  nearly  every  visitor  to  The  Alumnae  Office. 
We  hear  it  from  alumnae,  from  current  students,  from  telephone  and  typewriter 
repairmen.    And  we  too  wonder:  Who  is  She? 

Without  doubt,  the  favorite  brown-eyed,  brown-haired  girl,  who  oversees 
all  office  procedure  and  who  overhears  all  telephone  conversations,  is  a  Lasell 
alumna.  Three  reliable  "historians"  agree  her  dress  is  the  khaki-colored  Drill 
Uniform  of  the  early  1900's.  The  artist,  whose  signature  is  found  at  the  lower 
left-hand  corner  of  the  painting,  is  Lee  Lufkin.  Leonella  Rella  Lufkin  of  Bolivar, 
New  York,  attended  the  Seminary  from  September  1883  to  December  1885.  In 
June  1902  she  married  William  J.  Kanla,  and  the  last  known  address  for  Mrs. 
Kanla  was  30  Ipswich  Street,  The  Fenway  Studios,  Boston. 

Can  you  identify  our  gentle  and  appealing  friend?  On  occasion,  we  are 
certain  she  is  about  to  speak  for  herself;  more  often,  we  are  convinced  she  is  a 
top-ranking  student  in  Mrs.  Blanche  Martin's  Posture  Class  .  .  .  indeed,  she  is 
"young  and  tall  and  handsome."

ONE  HUNDRED  NINTH  ANNUAL 
COMMENCEMENT  .... 


Parents,  relatives  and  friends  attended  the  109th  Annual  Commencement 
Exercises,  held  on  the  Recreation  Field  on  Sunday  morning,  June  7th.  "Words  to 
the  Wise"  was  the  timely  subject  of  the  address  of  guest  speaker,  Dr.  Charles  W. 
Ferguson,  Senior  Editor  of  The  Reader's  Digest.  Dr.  Ferguson  is  the  author  of 
seven  published  books,  among  them  "Say  It  With  Words"  and  "A  Life  of  Cardinal 
Wolsey."  He  has  published  articles,  essays,  fiction,  and  verse.  Among  his  civic 
duties,  Dr.  Ferguson  serves  as  Vice  President  for  Public  Information  for  the 
National  Safety  Council  and  as  a  member  of  the  National  Council,  Boy  Scouts 
of  America. 

Before  Mr.  Wilder  N.  Smith,  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  presented 
diplomas  to  the  270  candidates  for  the  Associate's  degree,  President  Blake  Tewks- 
bury  addressed  the  graduates: 

"I  have  often  thought  what  might  happen  if  all  the  graduating  classes  across 
the  nation  actually  carried  out  all  the  advice  offered  them  in  Commencement 
addresses  and  if  all  the  authors  of  these  admonishments  actually  practiced  what 
they  preached.  The  example  might  prove  so  potent  in  world  affairs  that  we  could 
convert  our  atomic  power  into  public  utilities  and  shoot  up  our  guided  missiles  to 
celebrate  the  Fourth  of  July. 

"But  no.  Year  after  year,  as  the  earth  moves  around  the  sun  and  spring 
merges  into  summer,  the  captive  audiences  face  their  speakers  with  no  such  visible 
results.  Year  after  year  these  assemblies  hear  the  same  exhortations,  the  same 
appeals  to  you  to  sally  forth  and  slay  the  same  old  dragons  in  the  same  old 
sinful  world.  Yet  these  dragons,  unlike  their  mortal  cousins,  the  dinosaurs,  have 
managed  to  keep  well  ahead  of  the  game. 

"Why  don't  we  join  forces,  you  and  I,  slay  the  dragons  and  have  done  with 
it?  Why  should  I  stand  here  lecturing  you  for  what  is,  after  all,  just  as  much 
the  responsibility  of  my  generation  as  it  is  of  yours,  egging  you  on  to  trials  at 
arms  in  which  we  have  not  succeeded?  The  reason  I  appeal  to  you  is  that  my 
generation  needs  your  help. 

"What  help  can  we  give  one  another,  your  generation  and  mine?  Alliances 
usually  involve  some  quid  pro  quo:  what  can  we  offer  you?  Ah,  we  will  say, 
experience.  How  the  very  word  used  to  irk  us  at  your  age.  How  we  resented 
being  chided  for  our  views  on  life,  liberty,  and  the  pursuit  of  happiness  on  account 
of  our  lack  of  experience.  What  had  experience  to  tell  us}  That  our  fathers' 
generation  had  got  us  into  the  first  World  War,  the  great  Depression,  and  the 
makings  of  the  second  World  War.  They  had  promised  us  two  cars  in  every 
garage  —  then  given  us  breadlines  and  bank  failures.  Indignantly,  self-righteously, 
we  rebelled.  We  did  not  carry  our  rebellion  into  the  open.  We  just  quietly  dis- 
counted what  we  were  told,  and  the  rate  of  discount  sometimes  reached  100  per  cent. 

"Can  we  do  much  better  for  you,  in  the  name  of  experience  today?  I  some- 
times wonder.  We  do  not  promise  peace,  it  is  true.  But  are  we  not  talking  about 
three  cars  in  every  garage?  If  I  were  you,  I  should  be  skeptical.  I  believe  you 
are  skeptical.  Yet  of  what  is  your  skepticism  compounded  if  not  our  experience? 
Does  this  not  suggest  that  experience  may  be  worth  something  to  you  after  all?

"Experience  is  a  great  teacher,  but  we  must  not  expect  too  much  of  it.  Un- 
refined by  philosophy  it  is  crude  ore  indeed.  Reason  must  polish  it  and  wisdom 
shape  it  to  our  use.  If  your  generation  is  to  profit  by  experience  of  any  kind. — 
your  own,  my  generation's,  or  anybody  else's  — ■  it  must  include  the  proper  prin- 
ciples for  putting  it  to  use. 


"If  civilization  is  to  continue,  it  is  the  duty  of  each  generation  to  hand  on  to 
the  next  this  accumulated  experience  of  mankind  which  we  call  knowledge.  If 
civilization  is  to  progress,  the  transmission  should  carry  with  it  each  time  a  net 
increment. 


"It  is  not  the  inevitable  difference  in  age  or  outlook  between  the  generations 
that  impedes  this  progress.  Differences  in  age  leave  fathers  and  sons  and  daughters 
on  the  same  side  of  many  questions.  Differences  in  outlook  merely  proclaim  the 
essential  diversity  of  the  human  race.  Pride  hinders  the  transmission  of  knowledge 
by  one  generation  to  another.  It  is  pride  —  parental  authority  based  on  nothing 
but  the  circumstance  of  parenthood  and  the  compulsion  of  self-esteem;  youthful 
self-assurance  compounded  of  nothing  but  self-assurance  and  youth.  Parental 
authority  requires  factual  demonstration  to  most  children  beyond  the  age  of  four. 
As  these  children  advance  in  years  and  discretion,  the  proper  scope  of  parental 
authority  diminishes  and  its  role  changes.  The  best  we  can  hope  for  it  at  the 
stage  represented  by  this  ceremony  today  is  that  it  will  have  ripened  into  a  mutually 
enjoyable  and  profitable  companionship. 

"But  pride  can  be  a  besetting  sin  in  youth  as  well  as  age.  The  child  may,  as 
Wordsworth  says,  be  father  of  the  man;  but  it  is  not  father  of  the  father.  Time 
has  given  my  generation  certain  advantages  in  the  acquisition  of  knowledge  which 
it  will,  in  due  course,  also  give  to  yours.  You  are  not  called  upon,  any  more  than 
we  were,  to  begin  all  over  again  with  Adam.  It  would  be  just  as  obstructive  to  the 
process  of  civilization  for  you  to  refuse,  out  of  smugness  or  sheer  defiance,  the 
knowledge  we  hold  out  to  you  as  it  would  be  for  us  to  force  it  upon  you  purely 
in  the  name  of  authority. 


"Members  of  the  graduating  class:  we  have  given  you  a  stake  in  the  accumu- 
lated experience  of  mankind.  The  stake  includes  sundry  principles.  Some  of  these 
you  may  accept,  others  you  will  reject,  still  others  you  will,  I  hope,  improve  upon 
by  invention.  As  you  gradually  assume  the  status  of  an  older  generation,  the 
selection  will  become  increasingly  your  own  responsibility.  Yet  with  the  heritage 
we  transmit  to  you  go  three  sets  of  principles  that  we  believe  will  serve  you  well. 
These  are  embodied  respectively  in  the  Old  and  New  Testament,  the  Constitution 
of  the  United  States,  and  the  education  you  have  received.  In  the  Old  and  New 
Testament  you  will  find  the  greatest  ethical  teachings  ever  propounded  for  the 
inspiration  and  guidance  of  man;  in  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States  with  its 
Bill  of  Rights  the  most  hopeful  framework  of  government  within  which  to  carry 
out  those  teachings;  and  in  your  education  perceptions  of  excellence  that  should 
enable  you  to  combine  with  ethics  and  government  the  best  of  man's  arts.  Girt 
with  this  armor  we  welcome  you  as  allies.  Prospering  in  it,  through  your  own 
efforts  and  your  own  intimations  of  immortality,  we  shall  sing  your  praises  and 
glory  in  your  achievement."

The  desert's  dry  air  brings  no  snow

LASELL  LEAVES 


FROM  THE  ALUMNAE 

1904 


Julia   Martin 

As  Reunion-time  drew  near,  a  letter 
arrived  from  Julia  E.  Martin  of  Boze- 
man,  Montana.  Enclosed  were  "proph- 
ecy pictures"  of  The  Class  of  1904,  and 
from  their  yearbook,  The  Allerlei,  we 
reprint  six  individual  descriptions: 

Grace  Hardy:  Always  found  working 
for  the  LEAVES.  Fond  of  arguing.  Given 
to  giggling  in  chapel.  Loves  to  sing 
bass.  Ethics  her  favorite  pastime.  Is 
very  fond  of  acting;  Shakespearean  plays 
her  favorite.    "Neat,  not  gaudy." 

Josephine  Holmes:  Very  sober  and 
sedate.  Called  "Joe."  Her  distinguish- 
ing characteristic,  needless  to  say,  is 
her  smile.  Has  common  sense.  "Love 
hath  led  her  in  the  net." 

Gladys  Patterson:  Teachers'  pet? 
Busy  running  affairs.  Anxious  for  for- 
eign mail.  Great  aspirations.  "I  have 
not  willingly  planted  a  thorn  in  any 
man's  bosom." 

Corinne  Richter:  Has  a  fondness  for 
Harvard.  Her  highest  ambition  —  to 
be  somebody.  Has  a  great  affinity  for 
English.  Always  on  time.  "My  friend, 
clear  your  mind  of  cant." 


Alice  Stahl:  Sometimes  called  Marion. 
Friend  of  the  oppressed.  Always  found 
studying  French.  Adores  psychology 
and  ethics.  Sunday  breakfast  her  favor- 
ite meal;  why?  Likes  penolia  sand- 
wiches and  oranges.  "Oh,  give  me 
peace!" 

Julia  Martin:  Deep  thinker.  Her 
poetry  has  been  compared  with  that  of 
Tennyson.  Wishes  everything  explained. 
Why  did  she  draw  the  best  table  in  the 
dining  room  ?  "Who  says  in  verse  what 
others  say  in  prose." 

In  her  letter,  Miss  Martin  continues: 
"I  have  many  happy  memories  of  the 
good  times  we  shared  in  those  long  ago 
years.  Lasell  Junior  College  is  truly 
progressing,  but  it  is  the  Seminary,  with 
teachers  and  many  splendid 
which        brings        me        happy 


the     fine 

friends, 

thoughts." 

We    were 
sentative      of 


sorry  there  was  no  repre- 
The  Class  of  1904  on 
campus  for  Reunion,  and  we  hope  that 
these  vignettes  help  to  create  some  of 
the  atmosphere  of  that  June  weekend 
when  everyone  played  the  game  of  "Do 
you  remember  when?"

with   Edward,  Persis-Jane  and   Richard 

September  1963 


The  busy  schedule  of  May-Florine 
Thielens  Peeples  continues.  "After 
three  winter  months  in  Florida,  I  re- 
turned to  plunge  into  meetings  and 
spring  luncheons  here  in  Chicago.  Our 
Chicago  Alumnae  Club  prospers  and 
the  girls  all  enjoy  the  meetings  —  third 
Wednesday  of  each  month.  My  son,  Ed- 
ward, has  returned  from  two  years  of 
duty  in  Formosa;  Architect  Richard  has 
designed  a  $4,000,000  high  school  for 
the  city  of  Appleton,  Wisconsin;  Persis- 
Jane  (Peeples  Cline  x-'36)  is  most  active 
in  civic  affairs  in  Scarsdale.  She  and 
husband  John  are  looking  forward  to 
his  25th  Reunion  at  Princeton.  In  April, 
I  attended  the  Biennial  Meetings  of  the 
Penwomen,  followed  by  the  D.A.R. 
Congress  in  Washington;  the  annual 
National  Federation  of  Women's  Clubs 
Convention  is  scheduled  for  early  sum- 
mer in  Atlantic  City.  On  June  20th 
there  will  be  a  family  get-together  and 
a  grand  celebration;  the  occasion:  my 
twin's  (Elizabeth  Thielens  Miller  x-'06) 
50th  wedding  anniversary." 


1907 

Carrie  Sessions  Dodge  reported  that  it 
was,  for  the  most  part,  a  cold  but 
pretty  and  sunny  winter  in  Arizona.  She 
did  add,  however,  that  she  had  a  short 
trip  South  during  February  - —  "to 
warm  up !" 


Marion  Hale  Bottomley  writes:  "Just 
back  from  Glastonbury  (Conn.)  where 
we  had  a  family  reunion  on  my  sister's 
80th  birthday  (Emily  Hale  Barnett  x-'06). 
Among  the  twenty-three  present  were 
four  Lasell  girls  —  myself,  daughter 
Mary  (Bottomley  '42),  Nancy  Gorton 
Ross  '42  and  Emily. 

"I  noticed  in  the  May  9th  copy  of  the 
Burlington  Free  Press  a  notice  of  the 
death  of  Ruth  Wheaton  Austin  x-'30. 
She  was  the  wife  of  Col.  Edward  L. 
Austin,  son  of  Warren  R.  Austin,  our 
first   ambassador   to    the   United   Nations." 

In  early  March,  Lucy  Aldrich  Berston 
wrote  to  Josephine  Woodward  Rand: 

"A  friend  and  I  arrived  in  Lajolla 
(Calif.)  on  Tuesday,  February  25th.  As 
we  were  entering  the  hotel,  someone 
said:  "Hello".  That  was  Mary  Lumbard 
Courtney.  We  also  found  two  friends 
from  Flint  and  they  had  met  Herma 
Schweitzer  Comstock  '21,  former  Lasell 
roommate    of    Ruth    Rawlings    Mott    '21. 

"On  Wednesday  Julia  Hamilton  Peters 
came  over  from  her  winter  home  in 
Coronado  prepared  to  stay  a  few  days. 
Thursday  we  three  went  to  the  airport 
to  meet  Marian  Halstead  Fenton  x-'ll, 
who  flew  down  from  Berkeley.  Friday, 
Helen  Sayre  Jacobs  '11  came  for  the  day 
from  her  home  in  La  Mesa.  We  all  had 
lunch  together  and  you  can  imagine  the 
chatter.  We  called  ourselves  White 
Doves,  reminisced  about  Mrs.  Martin's 
"Tall  and  Beautiful',  and  Captain  Ran- 
lett's  drills.  Tot  McLean  Hunt  had  expected 
to  come  but  there  were  complications 
with  grandchildren  whose  parents  were 
on  vacation.  Expect  to  spend  a  week 
with  Marian  in  Berkeley  before  leaving 
for    Michigan    about    the    first    of    April. 

"Everyone  here  is  hoping  to  be  on 
hand  for  our  55th.  A  friend  who  saw 
us  all  together  said  she  thought  Lasell 
must  be  the  most  remarkable  of  schools. 
She  said  she  knew  only  one  person  who 
went  to  the  school  she  attended  and  she 
has  never  heard  from  anyone  in  her  class. 
We  agreed,  too,  that  we  were  glad  to 
have  attended  the  Seminary  when  we  did. 
And  we  are  all  equally  convinced  that 
the  present  administration  at  Lasell  is 
doing  a  wonderful  job  preparing  girls 
for  the  kind  of  world  in  which  they 
live  today." 

In  addition  to  Lucy  Aldrich  Berston's 
account  of  the  Lajolla  "reunion",  came 
a  note  from  Julia  Hamilton  Peters 
testifying  to  the  grand  time  they  en- 
joyed together.

1914 

A  promise  to  baby-sit  with  "two  dar- 
ling granddaughters,  Sally  and  Virginia 
Lee"  prevented  Abbie  Lee  Viener  Moss 
from  joining  the  50th  Reunioners  on 
campus.  Abbie  entertained  the  little 
girls  while  their  parents  attended  a  re- 
union celebration  at  Washington  and 
Lee  University. 

Abbie's  former  Lasell  roommate, 
Maidie  Dealey  Moroney,  reports  the 
birth  of  her  fourth  great-grandchild, 
born  July  10.  1963  —  a  birthday  shared 
by  Maidie's  husband  and  son.  Her 
winter  activities  included  a  Caribbean 
cruise  —  "lots  of  fun  —  but  hot!" 

The  50th  Reunion  report  will  appear 
in  the  November  issue  of  the  LEAVES. 
Dorothy  Hartshorn  Underwood  volun- 
teered to  serve  as  Class  Secretary,  and 
requests:  "Letters,  news  and  pictures, 
please." 

1915 

Ida  Beane  Rice  recently  called  at  the 
Admissions  Office.  She  requested  a  catalog 
for  her  granddaughter,  whose  interest  in  the 
College  is  understandable:  great-great  grand- 
mother, as  well  as  grandmother,  attended  the 
Seminary.  Ida  continues  to  devote  much  time 
as  a  volunteer  worker  for  the  Massachusetts 
Correctional  Institution  for  Women  in 
Framingham.  This  winter  The  F'iends 
of  Framingham,  Inc.  opened  "Half-Way 
House,"  a  Dorchester  facility  for  wom- 
en whose  effort  toward  rehabilitation  is 
serious  in  their  plan  for  "after  release." 


1917 

On  May  10,  1964,  Marjorie  Morrison 
Coburn  represented  Lasell  at  the  Inaug- 
uration of  Ralph  Edward  Gauvey  as 
second  president  of  Roger  Williams 
Junior  College  in  Providence,  R.  I. 

1918 

The  new  address  —  in  Chicago  — 
for  Irvina  Pomeroy  Cooper  is  Apt.  No.  2, 
6818  South  Oglesby  Avenue. 

The  Class  extends  sincere  sympathy  to 
Harriet  Morris  Kenney,  whose  husband, 
Mr.  Winthrop  W.  Kenney,  passed  away 
on  February  17,  1964. 

1919 

Olive  Chase  Mayo  represented  the 
College  at  the  Inauguration  of  Royal 
Merrill  Frye  as  President  of  Belknap 
College,  Center  Harbor,  New  Hamp- 
shire, on  Saturday,  May  2,  1964.

"A  detailed  accounting  of  the  45th 
Reunion  will  be  published  in  the  No- 
vember LEAVES,"  writes  Secretary  Mer- 
cie  V.  Nichols.  "In  acknowledgement 
of  our  Class  Reunion  Gift,  Priscilla's 
daughter,  Virginia  Wolfe  Perkins  '44, 
adds: 

"  'Dear  Class  of  1919: 

'I  cannot  thank  you  enough  for  what 
you  have  done  in  memory  of  my  mother, 
Priscilla  Alden  Wolfe  and  for  me.  The 
Bulletin  Board  now  installed  in  the 
lobby  of  the  new  classroom  building  is  a 
lovely   memorial  gift. 

'I  am  proud  to  be  a  Lasell  girl;  a 
part  of  your  family.'  " 

1921 

Helen  Jacobs  x-'21  attended  the  1964 
Class  Night  Exercises  and  reported  a 
new  address:  21  Thornton  Road,  Need- 
ham,  Mass. 

Sincere  sympathy  is  extended  to  Celina 
Belle  Isle  Forman,  whose  husband,  Mr. 
Thadford  Forman,  passed  away  in  the 
fall  of  1963. 

1922 

One  of  Florida's  visitors  this  past 
winter  was  Margaret  Reid  Perry,  who 
spent  some  time  in  Naples.

The  Class  extends  sincere  sympathy 
to  Harriette  Case  Bidwell  and  to  Julia 
Case  '32.  Their  mother,  Mrs.  Charles 
P.  Case,  passed  away  on  April  27th  at 
Brightview  Convalescent  Hospital  in  Avon, 
Conn.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Case  celebrated  their 
65th  wedding  anniversary  on  February  14, 
1964.  She  was  a  charter  member  of  the 
Historical  Society  of  Simsbury,  the  DAR,  and 
the  Methodist  Church  of  Simsbury,  and  was 
a  director  of  the  West  Haven  Home  for  the 
Aged.  Besides  her  husband  and  two  daugh- 
ters, Mrs.  Case  leaves  a  son,  Charles  P.  Case, 
Jr.,  three  granddaughters  and  five  great- 
grandchildren. 

1923 

Louise  Orr  Daniels  x-'23,  writes: 
"Visited  Claire  Parker  Everett  on  the 
Cape  —  she  is  as  busy  as  ever !  To- 
gether with  Olive  Eastman  Aspey  '22 
and  her  husband,  we  enjoyed  a  day  with 
Emma  Perley  Dewar  x-'24  in  New 
Hampshire." 

Mary  Godard  Hadley  x-'23:  "Older 
son,  Duke,  graduated  from  Syracuse 
University  in  1952,  and  is  now  with 
Vedder  Root  in  Syracuse,  N.Y.  Young- 
er son,  George,  —  Colgate  '60,  M.A. 
Columbia  '62.  He  is  now  in  Personnel 
work  with  N.Y.U." 

"The  highlights  of  my  year,"  reports 
Helen  Hinshaw  Toohey,  "are  the  oc- 
casional visits  with  our  children  and 
grandchildren  —  our  daughter  and  her 
family  are  in  Cleveland;  our  son  and 
family  are  in  Westfield,  N.J." 

"Anne  Daugherty  Slater:  "My  Indian- 
apolis friend,  Midge  Lykins  Rust  '28, 
passed  away  in  August,  1963-  She  is 
survived  by  her  husband  and  three  chil- 
dren." 

Mabel  Gleason  Fletcher  announces  the 
marriage  of  her  daughter,  Susan,  to  Daniel  F. 
Schultz  on  Saturday,  February  8,  1964,  in 
the  First  Methodist  Church,  Carthage,  NY. 

"We  had  a  wonderful  Reunion", 
writes  Claire  Parker  Everett,  "though 
we  missed  all  the  girls  who  generally 
come.  This  year  I'm  looking  forward 
to  attending  Norman's  40th  Reunion  at 
Dartmouth." 

Sincere  sympathy  is  extended  to  Jean- 
nette  Merrick  Moss  on  the  death  of  her 
husband,  Robert  F.  Moss,  on  April  23, 
1964  in  Elizabeth,  N.J. 

Mr.  Moss  was  president  of  the  Ori- 
ental Steel  Products  Co.  in  Tokyo  before 
World  War  II.  He  was  a  former  leader 
of  the  American  Colony  in  Japan, 
president  of  the  American  Association 
on  Tokyo  for  two  years  and  was  chair- 
man   of    the    American    School    in    Japan 


for  17  years  and  was  a  charter  member 
of  the  American  Club  of  Tokyo. 

He  returned  to  the  United  States  in 
1940  after  many  years  in  Tokyo  and 
later  became  vice-president  of  the  Sci- 
entific Concrete  Service  Corp.,  and  was 
a  leader  in  the-  civic  life  of  Elizabeth 
(N.J.).  He  also  had  served  in  an  ad- 
visory capacity  to  the  Office  of  Strategic 
Services  during  World  War  II.  He  re- 
tired five  years  ago. 

Those  of  us  who  have  visited  Jean 
and  Bob  in  their  lovely  home,  filled  with 
the  many  mementos  of  their  happy  years 
in  Japan,  will  always  remember  him  as  a 
cordial  and  most  gracious  host. 

1924 

The  1924  Reunion  contingent  in- 
cluded :  Helen  B.  Perry,  Frances  Badger, 
Katherine  Webb,  Dorothy  Redman 
Finch,  Geraldine  Wilder  Bogart,  Mar- 
guerite Murray  Keene,  Esther  Palmer 
Dwinell  and  her  guest,  Louise  Puckett 
Neill  '23.  A  complete  report  of  the 
40th  will  appear  in  November. 

1925 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Arthur  Parmenter  (Ruth 
Shepard)  did  a  "repeat"  performance 
as  proud  parents  at  the  1964  Commence- 
ment exercises.  Daughter  Linda,  vice 
president  of  the  Senior  Class,  received 
an  A.A.  degree  in  Liberal  Arts  on 
June  7th.  Janet  (Parmenter  Ellinwood) 
was  graduated  in  1956. 

1926 

Luanna  Eyler  Crane  writes  that  she 
has  sold  her  North  Carolina  home  and 
is  now  building  in  Boca  Raton,  Florida. 
Her  daughter  is  working  in  Phoenix 
(Arizona),  and  her  son  will  continue  at 
Law  School  following  June  graduation 
from    the    University    of    North    Carolina. 

1927 

Dear  Girls, 

While  in  San  Francisco  in  May  —  a 
Convention  business-trip  with  my  hus- 
band —  I  had  an  opportunity  to  get 
in  touch  with  two  classmates.  Had  a 
short  visit  with  my  former  Lasell  room- 
mate, Minerva  Damon  Ludewig,  who 
really  loves  San  Francisco  living.  She 
maintains  her  wonderful  glow  of  ex- 
uberance; is  ever  the  enthusiastic  and 
trophy-winning  golfer;  and  almost  prom- 
ised to  come  East  in  the  not  too  distant 
future!

Also  chatted  with  Madalyn  Patten 
Hoberg.  Her  daughter,  son-in-law  and 
the  three  grandchildren  will  be  living  in 
the  East  for  two  years.  Madalyn  plans 
to  visit  them  —  but  the  trip  will  be  a 
short  and  fast  one.  She  and  her  husband 
are  looking  forward  to  vacationing  on 
his  new  boat,  which  had  just  arrived. 

Doris  Wilson  Lehners  will  come  for 
her  annual  Cape  vacation,  and  we  shall 
get  together  there. 

I  do  want  to  call  your  attention  to 
the  Building  Fund  Bazaar,  which  will 
be  held  at  the  College  on  Nov.  17th. 
There  will  be  a  variety  of  tables  and  I 
hope  you  will  send  a  contribution  — 
objects  you  may  be  tired  of  may  be  the 
answer  to  someone's  dream.  Just  send 
a  note  to  The  Alumnae  Office  so  we 
can  plan  on  your  contribution.  Perhaps 
those  in  the  area  will  agree  to  partici- 
pate actively;  the  "far-aways"  will  want 
to  be  represented.  The  Bazaar  will  be 
one  of  the  highlights  of  1964  and  I  am 
sure  The  Class  of  1927  will  want  to 
insure  its  success. 

From  Marjorie  Maxfield  Smith:  "Still 
remembering  the  beautiful  White  Christ- 
mas in  Washington,  D.  C,  where  I 
lived  for  so  many  years.  Always  enjoy 
hearing  from  Esther  Josselyn,  who  keeps 
me  up-to-date  with  Lasell  news." 

A  request  for  a  transcript  came  from 
Jeanette  Smith  Janes  x-'27.  Her  current 
address  is  30  Marion  Road,  Upper  Mont- 
clair,  N.  J.

1928 

Josephine  Laughton  Hopkins  served 
as  the  Lasell  delegate  to  the  Inaugura- 
tion of  William  Walsh  Hagerty  as  presi- 
dent of  Drexel  Institute  of  Technology 
in  Philadelphia.  Soon  after  the  May 
12th  affair  Jo  wrote:  "It  was  delightful! 
And  being  Lasell's  representative  has 
done  wonders  for  my  ego !  The  Drexel 
invitation  specifically  included  an  es- 
cort —  Dayton  went  with  me  —  and  we 
arrived  in  Philadelphia  in  time  for  me 
to  go  to  the  Academy  first  to  leave  my 
regalia  and  locate  my  chair.  At  the 
dinner,  preceding  the  ceremony,  we  were 
seated  so  as  to  enjoy  an  excellent  view 
of  the  head  table.  Our  table  host  was 
a  Drexel  trustee;  table  companions  in- 
cluded the  representative  of  Mills  Col- 
lege and  her  husband;  the  president  of 
the  Woman's  Medical  College  and  a 
woman  doctor  from  their  faculty  who 
was  his  guest;  and  the  Northwestern 
delegate  and  his  wife,  whom  we  par- 
ticularly enjoyed.  There  were  no  speech- 
es at  the  dinner  —  merely  a  few  intro- 
ductions      and       additional        instructions. 


Jo   Laughton    Hopkins  '28 


We  left  the  Bellevue  promptly  at  seven- 
thirty;  the  delegates  went  to  the  Ball- 
room of  the  Academy,  where  I  was 
welcomed  with  open  arms  by  a  very 
sweet  'young  thing.'  Representing 
"Western  College  for  Women,  she  lives 
in  Wellesley  and  Lasell  was  the  nearest 
and  most  familiar  'among-those-present' 
to  her.  The  inauguration  was  a  most 
impressive  experience  and  one  I  shan't 
soon  forget. 

"The  entire  week  was  a  hectic  one.  .  . 
there  was  a  Welfare  Board  meeting  in 
Toms  River  prior  to  my  leaving  for 
Philadelphia;  on  Wednesday  evening  we 
attended  a  wedding  anniversary  cele- 
bration; on  Thursday  there  was  a 
luncheon  for  a  retiring  director  of  the 
Welfare  Board  staff;  and  Friday  brought 
the  dedication  of  the  visitor's  center  at 
the  Batsto  Restoration  ■ —  attended  by 
the  Govenor,  several  state  senators,  the 
chairman  of  the  New  Jersey  Tercen- 
tenary Celebration,  the  Constable  and  the 
Bailiff  of  the  Isle  of  Jersey  —  plus 
some  5,000  other  folks.  For  Saturday  — 
since  the  week  had  been  an  uneventful 
one  —  Dayton  had  tickets  for  the  eve- 
ning performance  of  a  Gilbert  &  Sulli- 
van operetta  at  the  Academy  of  Music. 
(He  bought  these  while  waiting  for  me 
between  the  dinner  and  the  inaugura- 
tion.) 

"This  week's  normal  routine  seems  a 
bit  dull:  had  lunch  with  Jo  Holbrook 
Metzger    '22    who    will    be    my    guest    in

fore coming  to  Weld,  she  will  spend

"Hail  Alma  Mater!  What  a  really 
great  Reunion  we  had !  I  am  sure  the 
Class  of  1929  is  unanimous  in  its  ap- 
proval of  the  gathering  of  the  clan 
after  Commencement.  We  had  so  much 
time  to  visit  together  —  and  leisurely  — 
and  to  rediscover  the  common  bond 
which  holds  us  so  close,  even  though 
Father  Time  marches  on. 

"The  girls  on  the  Committee  did  a 
wonderful  job  —  provides  truly  The 
Frosting  on  the  Cake.  Maudie  (Wil- 
liams Gittleson)  and  Betty  (Wells  Tuttle) 
were  my  house-guests  until  Tuesday,  the 
16th.  We  feel  strongly  that  an  'interim' 
Reunion  should  be  held  —  possibly  for 
those  in  the  New  England  area.  We 
even  envisioned  a  huge  tent  erected  in 
our  pasture  —  seriously,  it  might  be 
worth  a  try.  How  about  it?"

Barbara  Hover  Lallou  writes  from  10619 
Hillview,  Chatsworth,  California. 

"We  have  been  in  Chatsworth  ■ —  locat- 
ed at  the  very  tail  end  of  the  San  Fernando 
Valley  —  for  about  five  years.  My  hus- 
band and  I  run  a  Hay,  Grain  and  English 
Tack  plus  Western  Equipment  store.  We 
also  buy,  sell,  show  and  train  American 
Saddlebred  horses. 

"Our  oldest  daughter,  Barbara  Anne, 
completed  two  years  at  the  University  of 
Southern  California  —  then  married  an 
architect.  I  am  a  grandmother  —  it 
sounds  dreadful  but  I  love  it.  My  grand- 
son was  born  in  September,  1962  —  and, 
of  course  —  'is  the  only  grandson  in  the 
world.'  Susan,  my  middle  child,  is  a  senior 
at  the  University  of  California,  majoring 
in  mathematics  and  accounting.  She  is 
pinned  to  a  pre-dental  student  and  in- 
tends to  help  him  finish  college  when  she 
graduates.  This  leaves  us  with  one  daugh- 
ter at  home.  Dari,  fourteen,  a  sophomore 
in  high  school,  is  quite  a  girl.  For  the 
past  two  years  we  have  traveled  the  Coast 
showing  her  saddlebred  gelding  and  she  is 
now  rated  one  of  the  five  top  saddleseat 
riders  in  the  state.  Last  summer  she  modeled 
to  earn  money  for  more  show  equipment  — 
and  is  now  being  interviewed  for  television 
work. 

"We  love  this  small  town.  I  am  just  a 
'country  hick'  at  heart.  Once  in  a  great  while 
I  miss  the  snow  but  then  we  go  to  Big  Bear 
or  up  to  Mammouth  and  I  am  satisfied. 
This  year,  as  usual,  we  took  a  group  of 
youngsters  to  the  Rose  Parade.  We  go  up 
the  night  before  —  fortified  with  sleeping 
bags,  blankets,  hot  chocolate  and  coffee. 

"Often  wonder  about  Anita  Fitzgerald 
and  Dottie  Heagy  —  also  Ruth  McLaugh- 
lin, Peggy  Card,  Jane  Abbott  and  many, 
many  more.  Would  love  to  see  Lasellites 
anytime  they  come  our  way.  Hope  to  re- 
turn East  for  our  25th  ■ —  come  June  '66."

1940 


Mr.  and   Mrs.  Donald  J.  Fournier 
(Barbara  Schilf  '40) 


With  permission  we  reprint  Marc  Dro- 
gin's  feature  article,  published  in  the  Sun- 
day Pictorial  edition  of  The  New  Haven 
Register  on  February  2,  1964.  The  ac- 
companying photograph  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Fournier  (Barbara  Schilf)  was  taken  by 
Mr.  Drogin,  who  titles  the  story,  "The 
Fourniers  of  Bethany:  Country  Life  is  Won- 
derful." 

Snow  was  still  coming  down,  across  the 
hill,  down  through  the  tall  grass  and  al- 
most over  the  rabbit  tracks  sketched  on 
the  surface  of  an  earlier  fall.  Something 
about  the  cold  snow  air  made  clouds  from 
breath  and  gave  a  soft  plump  sound  as  the 
horses  moved. 

A  tug  on  the  reins  and  Barbara  Four- 
nier wheeled  her  horse  about,  to  face 
down  across  the  split-rail  fences,  the  ken- 
nel, barns  and  ranch  home,  down  to  a 
dirty  slash  in  the  landscape  that  was 
Route  69  running  toward  New  Haven. 

"It's  a  nice  life  being  outdoors  all  the 
time,"  she  said.  "I  don't  think  I  could 
ever  be  inside  in  an  office.   I  would  die." 

Don  Fournier  wheeled  his  huge  red 
chestnut  stallion  about  and  into  the  wind, 
watched  the  huge  animal  lift  and  drop  its 
feet,  settling  into  balance  onto  the  hill- 
side and  into  the  wind. 

"Lord,  we'd  never  go  back  to  New  Ha- 
ven.  I  haven't  been  in  New  Haven  in  three 


weeks."  Irish,  the  stallion,  held.  Whiskey 
the  terrier  in  a  sack  hung  from  Fournier's 
shoulder  was  motionless,  snow(  slowly 
settling  on  his  whiskers. 

"You  know,"  said  Mrs.  Fournier,  "I 
have  a  registered  letter  that's  been  wait- 
ing down  there  at  the  Westville  Post  Of- 
fice for  three  days.  One  of  these  days  I 
suppose  I'll  get  it." 

Back  around  into  the  snow  turned  the 
mounts,  and  the  Fourniers  and  Whiskey 
ambled  uphill  and  along  the  crest,  white 
snow  on  the  husband's  red  hunting  jacket, 
whiter  on  his  wife's  black  coat,  melting 
on  the  horse's  flanks  and  Whiskey's  whisk- 
ers. 

The  Fourniers  do  not  live  way  off  in 
nowhere,  out  beyond  civilization.  Only 
eight  miles  down  the  grey  slash  highway 
is  the  New  Haven  green.  Bethany  is  not 
the  great  beyond. 

To  the  Fourniers,  though,  it  is  a  para- 
dise —  the  native  resident  and  her  West 
Haven-born  husband  have  turned  their  al- 
most-hundred  acres'  property  into  a  par- 
adise of  sorts. 

There  she  raises  and  breeds  Norwich 
Terriers,  and  takes  them  to  dog  shows. 
There  he  boards  and  schools  and  trains 
his  horses,  and  takes  them  to  horse  shows. 

Mrs.  Fournier,  by  the  kitchen  door  later, 
kicked  the  snow  from  her  boots,  let  Whis-

key  slip  through  the  door.  "I'm  probably 
one  of  the  two  largest  breeders  of  drop- 
ear  Norwich  Terriers  in  the  country. 
There  are,  here  and  there,  people  who 
might  have  a  litter  now  and  then,  but 
mostly  prick-ear." 

Her  kennel,  she  added,  wiping  the  frost 
from  the  kitchen  window  facing  across 
to  the  structure,  has  from  20  to  40  of  the 
little  creatures  depending  on  the  size  of 
litters.  Their  breeder  for  the  past  dozen 
years,  she  has  raised  15  champions  since 
the  first  puppy  showed  up  at  her  door  as 
a  gift  from  a  neighbor. 

Back  then  she  had  taken  the  dog  to 
a  kennel  for  breeding.  The  owner  had  died 
and  his  wife,  who  knew  nothing  of  dogs, 
was  going  to  take  over  the  kennel.  "So 
I  decided  that  if  she  can  do  it,  I  can  do 
it.   I  came  home  and  built  a  kennel. 

"I'd  say  I  probably  show  about  15 
times  a  year,  or  maybe  20.  I  cover  the 
big  shows  —  New  York,  Westminster, 
Boston.  I  go  of  course  to  New  Haven 
and  Hartford,  I've  shown  at  Troy,  I'm  go- 
ing to  Worcester  tomorrow." 

"She's  got  enough  ribbons,"  said  Don 
pouring  coffee,  "to  paper  the  living  room. 
Dogs,  dogs,  dogs."  Which  just  made 
his  wife  smile  again. 

"The  same  for  his  horses  —  that  came 
by  accident  too.  All  these  things  seem 
to  happen  by  accident.  We  started  to 
make  the  stable  over.  It  used  to  be  a  hay 
barn  for  storage,  and  we  were  going  to 
make  it  into  one  or  two  box  stalls  until 
it  sort  of  got  away  from  us.  Instead, 
we  ended  up  with  10  box  stalls.  We 
had  our  own  horses  and  then  started  to 
board  others." 

Schnapps  with  the  coffee,  and  one  can 
almost  forget  how  chilling  the  snow  was. 

Mrs.  Fournier  showed  a  picture  of  Irish 
leaping  at  a  show,  husband  Don  atop 
him.  "I'm  going  to  start  training  horses 
again.  I  did  two  years  ago,"  he  said,  re- 
counting the  names  of  some  of  his  cham- 
pions —  reserved  champion  down  at 
Golden  Bridge,  champion  at  Litchfield, 
reserve  champion  again  somewhere  else. 
"That's  Irish  and  the  brood  mare  Gena." 

On  what  sporting  field  do  Elm  City 
Kennel  Club  Show  Chairman  and  terrier- 
breeder  Barbara,  and  champion  horseman 
Don,  get  together? 


"The  fox  hunt,"  said  the  wife,  and  Don 
nodded  happily.  "It's  wonderful.  You're 
out  there  early  in  the  morning  and  rid- 
ing behind  the  huntsman  and  the  whip." 

"The  best  thing,"  added  Don,  "about 
hunting  is  just  to  hear  the  hounds  when 
they  get  the  scent  of  the  fox." 

Don  and  Barbara  Fournier  love  almost 
nothing  better  than  the  formal  old  fox- 
hunt on  a  cold  winter  day  —  joining 
with  140  to  160  others  on  opening  day 
at  Golden  Bridge,  on  the  New  York  line,  or 
at  Middlebury  and  Litchfield. 

Running  down  a  fox  can  take  up  to  90 
minutes,  an  entire  hunt  from  four  to  six 
hours.  Festive  and  formal,  the  hunt  serves 
a  purpose  —  ridding  the  area  of  pesky 
foxes  who,  with  or  without  the  hunt, 
carry  bounty  on  their  heads. 

It's  when  the  fox  is  holed  that  Bar- 
bara Fournier's  favorites  play  their  part: 
Norwich  Terriers,  low,  strong  little  beasts 
with  a  quizzical  eye,  who  are  as  happy 
in  apartments  as  out  in  the  field. 

"They  don't  run  with  the  hounds," 
Don  Fournier  explained.  "You  just  carry 
then  in  that  little  sack  I  wore.  When  the 
hounds  ground  a  fox  you  take  this  terrier 
out  and  send  him  into  the  fox  hole. 

"He  chases  the  fox  out  of  the  place, 
and  then  the  hunt  starts  all  over  again. 
Whiskey,  or  the  others,  will  stop  when 
you  call.  You  pick  them  up  and  sack 
them  again.  It's  quite  a  trick  to  getting 
them  used  to  the  riding  and  jumping  and 
everything  else." 

Whiskey,  grey  whiskered,  stood  to  get 
crumb-cake.  Mrs.  Fournier's  Norwich 
Terrier  took  best  of  breed  two  years  ago 
at  Madison  Square  Garden. 

"There's  quite  a  lot  to  riding  to 
hounds,"  said  Don,  relaxed,  stretching  his 
legs  out  in  front  of  the  fire.  "Tallyho? 
That's  when  somebody  sees  the  fox.  But 
Yoicks?" 

"Yoicks!"  said  his  wife.  "Now  I've 
heard  folks  yell  Yoicks !  But  really  I  nev- 
er know  what  they  mean."  Whiskey  got 
some  more  crumb-cake. 

A  few  minutes  later  Don  Fournier  was 
deep  in  a  hunt  club  quarterly,  his  wife  in 
a  scrap  book  pasting  binge,  the  dog  on 
the  couch,  the  horse  in  the  stable.  And 
the  snow  still  fell. 

Sometimes  Bethany  is  a  long  way  away. 
If  you  want  it  to  be.

lier is  the  wife  of  Paul  S.  Collier,  whose 
firm  in  America,  the  Pfandler-Permutit 
Company,  merged  with  the  engineering 
firm  of  Henry  Balfour  &  Co.,  Leven.  The 
Colliers  and  their  children,  Paul,  Betsy, 
Susan  and  Ann,  have  been  in  Scotland  for 
almost  two  years  now.  'We  put  in  addi- 
tional central  heating,  and  I  got  busy  with 
a  paint  brush,'  Mrs.  Collier  said.  'Instead 
of  coping  with  the  rather  rambling  kit- 
chen quarters  we  had  a  small,  compact 
kitchen  installed  beside  the  dining-room, 
which  saves  work.  In  America,  women 
cut  housework  and  shopping  to  the  min- 
imum, to  leave  time  for  hobbies  and  en- 
tertaining. I  would  far  rather  be  on  the 
golf  course  than  out  shopping!'  Mrs.  Col- 
lier is  a  member  of  the  Fife  committee  of 
the  Roosevelt  Memorial  Polio  Fund." 

Jean  Phillips  Canning  happily  reports: 
"My  older  daughter's  very  best  friend 
is  the  daughter  of  Patricia  Taylor  Hender- 
son '40." 

From  Jean  Burroughs  Rawson:  "Noth- 
ing too  exciting  —  busy  with  the  three 
children,  plus  club  work,  plus  knitting  — 
and,  of  course,  the  house.  Do  enjoy  hear- 
ing news  of  Lasell  and  classmates." 

The  present  address  of  Jean  Behrle 
Wagner  x-'43  is  66  Cooladge  Drive, 
Huntington,  L.I.,  N.Y. 


Rachel  Kellogg  was  recently  appointed 
to  the  position  of  Office  Manager  for  the 
New  Britain  (Conn.)  office  of  the  Hartford 
County  Bar  Association. 

Sue  Lange  Riddlemoser  writes  that  she 
is  so  sorry  to  have  missed  the  Reunion. 

"We  bought  a  house  in  Bound  Brook 
(N.J.)"  says  Sue,  "and  we're  going  to 
'stay  put'  until  the  boys  are  through  high 
school.  Believe  me  —  we  have  seen  enough 
new  places  for  awhile. 

"My  oldest  boy  won  a  scholarship  to 
the  Phillips  Academy  Summer  Session  at 
Andover  (Mass.)  I  hope  we  can  stop  at 
Lasell  when  we  drive  him  there. 

"I  have  my  Real  Estate  license  and  am 
selling  homes  —  never  a  dull  moment." 

For  Reunion,  Jean  O'Brien  Heavey 
sent  "regrets,"  but  a  promise  to  be  on 
hand  for  the  25th.  Jean  is  enjoying  a 
new  home  in  Annandale,  Virginia,  and 
adds:  "Son  Brian,  now  15,  is  a  swimming 
enthusiast;  we  spend  the  spare(?)  time 
attending  local  meets." 

"Best  good  wishes  for  a  successful  Re- 
union" came  from  Joe  Leroy  Bramm.  Joe 
is  "extremely  interested  in  the  work  of  the 
Republican  party.  Attended  a  spring  con- 
ference in  Washington,  and  am  a  member 
of  the  Alabama  State  Executive  Com- 
mittee."

Ursula  Burns  Keely  announces  the  ar- 
rival of  their  second  adopted  son,  Robert 
Clayton  Keely,  born  January  23,  1964. 
"Brendan,  now  three,  is  a  delightful  little 
boy." 

Althea  Taylor  Goldberg  writes  that  all 
is  going  well.  Her  son,  Alan  (14)  and 
daughter,  Ruth  (7)  keep  her  busy  —  "plus 
the  usual  P.T.A.,  taxi  service  and  getting 
to  lessons  on  time." 

Marilyn  Lucey  Richardson's  daughters, 
Connie  and  Suzanne,  attend  Rosemary  Hall 
in  Greenwhich,  Conn.  Nonie  Lederman 
Grossman's  Linsey  is  a  tenth  grader  at 
Beaver  Country  Day  School;  Heidi  is  en- 
rolled at  Shady  Hill.  Nonie  adds:  "Linsey 
is  a  dedicated  ballet  dancer,  and  Heidi  is  a 
very  serious  pianist." 

"After  residing  in  Milford,  Conn,  for 
nine  years,  Harold  received  a  promotion 
and  transfer,"  writes  Marilyn  Ford  Samp- 
son. "In  the  manner  of  Washington,  we 
crossed  the  Delaware  and  are  now  settled 
in  Wilmington  —  1216  Faun  Road,  Gray- 
lyn  Court.  Had  a  delightful  visit  with 
Lynn  Metzger  Pharo;  together  we  at- 
tended the  spring  luncheon  of  the  Phil- 
adelphia-South Jersey  alumnae  group." 

1946 

"While  talking  with  Skidmore's  new 
alumnae  secretary  the  other  day,  I  sudden- 
ly realized  I  had  not  forwarded  a  change 
of  address,"  writes  Janet  Garland  Wilson. 
"We  moved  recently  to  1131  Adams  Road, 
Schenectady,  N.Y.  It  is  in  an  area  of 
large  and  older  homes,  locally  known  as 
the    G.E.    Plot.     Unlike    other    plots,    the 


bodies  here  are  warm  and  active.  Our 
house  is  a  60-year-old,  center-hall  colonial 

—  in  excellent  condition  ■ —  and  to  top  it 
off  —  has  a  captain's  walk.  David  has 
just  been  named  manager  of  a  group  in 
the  Advanced  Technology  Lab  at  G.E., 
and  we  are  feeling  particularly  fortunate." 

Jean  Theil  Weld  reports:  "Like  every- 
one else  —  our  children  are  growing  up 

—  Gail  is  11,  Leslie,  8  and  David  5.  I'm 
busy  with  Junior  League  and  P.T.A.,  but 
Dave  and  I  do  manage  to  get  away  from 
it  all  every  winter.  Last  year  we  had  a 
wonderful  European  vacation  —  this  year 
a  trip  to  the  Barbados. 

"We  do  see  the  College  each  summer 
as  we  travel  to  Maine.  The  changes  are 
wonderful !" 

"My  husband,  Bob,  is  Eastern  Editor  of 
Leather  and  Shoes  —  a  trade  publication 
for  the  shoe  industry,"  writes  Patricia  Lu- 
ther Wilkin.  "I  keep  busy  with  our  two 
girls,  Holly,  6,  —  Heather,  3.  Also  enjoy 
teaching  Sunday  School  and  participating 
in  productions  of  the  Walpole  Footlight- 
ers,  our  community  theater." 

1947 

"Another  Traveler  Visit"  —  a  series  of 
articles  by  Virginia  Bohlin  of  the  Boston 
Traveler  staff  —  brought  forth  this  March 
headline:  "Dynamo  Starts  Day  on  Head." 

"Mrs.  Robert  Palmer  of  Hingham  starts 
each  day  by  standing  on  her  head.  And  if 
that's  the  energy  secret  of  this  dynamo  ■ — 
a  talented,  young  mother  who  packs  more 
activity  into  a  day  than  most  mothers  do 
in  a  month  —  then  everyone  should  greet 
the  morning  on  his  noggin." 

Mrs.  Robert  Palmer  of  Hingham  is  none 
other  than  Dorothy  Papani.  Miss  Bohlin 
continues: 

"She  paints  with  a  technique  all  her 
own  —  mostly  angels  on  gossamer  sheer 
fabrics  with  water-based  paints  mixed 
with  gesso.  She  plays  the  piano,  the  or- 
gan, and  the  guitar.  She  writes  poetry 
and  is  working  on  her  first  book,  "And 
The  Meek  Shall  Inherit  The  Earth.'  She 
studies  philosophy  nights  and  plays  dupli- 
cate bridge.  She  teaches  Sunday  School  at 
Old  Ship  Church  and  she  plays  golf.  She 
has  modeled  for  Dior  and  has  had  her 
own  ceramics  studio.  She  designs  and 
makes  her  own  clothes.  But  the  biggest 
thing  she  ever  designed  was  her  own  home 
in  the  World's  End  section  of  Hingham 
ten  years  ago. 

"There's  not  a  straight  line  in  the 
house.  It  darts  out  at  all  angles  to  fit 
the  contour  of  the  lot,  which  is  all  ledge. 
The  house  is  on  five  levels  and  has  no 
doors  on  the  first  floor  except  on  closets 
and  bathrooms.'  The  living-room,  with  its 


LASELL  LEAVES 


29 


18-foot  ceiling,  has  two  wrought  iron  bal- 
conies at  different  levels  —  the  top  one. 
with  its  spinet  piano  and  leopard-cov- 
ered lounge,  is  used  as  the  music  room. 
On  the  wall  of  the  music  room  hang 
two  non-objective  paintings  by  the  Egyp- 
tian artist,  Fouad  Kamel,  with  whom  Dor- 
othy has  studied. 

"There  are  11  rooms  in  the  house,  plus 
a  spacious  foyer  of  polished  flagstones 
with  a  floor  garden  of  schefflera  plants. 
The  kitchen  —  a  combination  of  brick, 
hand  crafted  copper  and  sunny  yellow 
porcelain  ■ —  Dorothy's  studio  and  the 
family  room  are  all  open  to  each  other, 
or  really  one.  So  Mother  can  paint  while 
a  cake  is  baking  or  the  boys  —  Nicholas, 
7,  and  Bobby,  5  —  are  playing.  The 
boys'  bedroom,  a  bright  blend  of  yellows, 
reds  and  oranges,  is  on  the  second  floor 
atop  the  bluestone  steps  leading  out  of 
the  family  room.  This  is  a  relaxing  type 
of  room  with  a  comfortable  sofa  in  front 
of  the  big  fieldstone  fireplace  and  lots  of 
Dorothy's  paintings  and  flowers  every- 
where. African  war  shields  of  bamboo 
screen  Dorothy's  studio  from  this  room. 
Besides  the  angels  which  she  so  often 
paints  Dorothy  also  likes  to  do  paintings 
of  boats  and  buildings  that  have  a  distinct- 
ly European  flavor  to  them." 

And  when  we  requested  a  picture  to 
accompany  a  portion  of  the  Traveler's  story, 
Dorothy  answered:  "I  am  extremely  proud 
of  my  association  with  Lasell,  and  have 
so  many  pleasant  memories  of  the  fun  days 
at  the  Casino  and  at  Hawthorne.  The  en- 
closed picture  was  taken  by  Mr.  O'Cal- 
laghan,  Staff  Photographer  of  the  Traveler. 
The  painting  beside  the  fireplace  is  one 
of  my  'Angels'.  It  is  painted  on  silk 
fabric  which  I  treat  and  stretch  across  a 
frame  —  my  husband  is  the  frame  mak- 
er. Thank  you  for  your  interest,  and  al- 
ways my  best  good  wishes  to  the  Col- 
lege." 

1948 

"Last  March  we  moved  into  our  new 
home,"  writes  Florence  Johnson  Kerdok. 
"Still  work  in  Boston  as  a  Dental  Hy- 
gienist  and  commute  each  day.  We  plan 
a  February  vacation  in  Puerto  Rico." 

Shirley  Thorne  Brady's  children,  Mat- 
thew and  Susan  Lynn  are  now  three  and 
eight  months,  respectively.  Shirley  writes: 
"Have  been  looking  forward  to  the  news 
about  the  reunion  and  the  gals  —  sorry 
that  I  couldn't  make  it  —  My  husband, 
who  is  an  officer  in  the  Elks,  and  I,  at- 
tended a  convention  the  same  weekend."

Kay  Poore  Hamel  sent  this  early  Reun- 
ion report.   More  to  come  later. 

"Jean  Sargent  Lee  and  Diane  Palady 
Barry  are  the  new  1949  Class  Secretaries 
—  plus  yours  truly.  Somebody  told  me 
that  our  class  has  very  little  news  in  the 
LEAVES.  I  do  hope  we  can  have  more  ac- 
tivity. 

"Our  reunion  luncheon  was  held  at  the 
home  of  Audrey  Mitchell  McKibben  in 
Dedham.  There  were  28  present  —  in- 
cluding our  "Class  Baby'  Debbie  Leighton, 
daughter  of  Pam  Johns  Leighton.  Debbie 
is  now  14  and  will  be  a  high  school  soph- 
omore in  the  fall.  We  all  seemed  to  have 
lots  to  chatter  about  —  and  had  a  won- 
derful time  looking  over  the  Lasell  scrap- 
books  that  Nat  Hall  Campbell  sent  for  our 
perusal.  We  missed  Nat  —  but  hopefully 
will  have  her  with  us  at  the  20th.

Endowment  in  the  memory  of  the  deceased 
members  of  the  Class  of  1949-  Future  do-

"I  was  pleased  to  receive  a  letter  from 
Chris  Oliveto  Davis"  writes  Sally  Hughes 
Fasick,  "telling  me  that  her  husband, 
Dick,  is  being  transferred  to  New  Orleans. 
We  are  looking  forward  to  a  good  old- 
fashioned  Lasell  visit."  Sally  is  also  anxious 
to  contact  any  other  Lasellites  in  the  New 
Orleans  area. 

Marjorie  Martin  Allen  reports  that  she 
loves  living  in  Riverdale  (N.Y.).  Her

Betsy,  five,  and  Andrew  Mark,  two. 

Helen  (Pat)  Graham  Gordon  writes: 
"We  moved  to  N.J.  last  May.  Husband  was 
transferred  to  the  New  York  office  from 
South  Bend,  Indiana.  We  saw  quite  a  bit 
of  Jane  Abels  Eshbaugh  before  she  moved 
to  Osterville  (Mass.)." 

Shirley  Richman  Miller  tells  us  she  is 
now  an  assistant  Brownie  leader.  "My 
three-year-old,  Cindy,  is  our  mascot  ■ — 
loves  every  minute  of  it.  Robin,  however, 
hasn't  quite  decided  whether  she  likes  the 
idea  of  having  Mother  as  one  of  the  lead- 
ers. I  think  she  wishes  I  would  stick  to 
my  hobby  of  arranging  flowers  with  the 
Garden  Club  —  or  some  of  my  other  do- 
it-yourself  home  projects." 

Jean  Woods  McNeilly  and  husband,  Bill,

Neilly, III,  born  September  28,  1959  and 
Jean  Woods  McNeilly,  born  on  June  26,

We  have  the  following  account  of  Rena 
Silverman's  1963  European  trip. 

"Flew  to  Europe  on  an  18-day  trip. 
Visited  London,  Dublin,  Edinburgh,  Brus- 
sels, Amsterdam,  Montreaux  and  Co- 
penhagen. While  in  England,  we  also  vis- 
ited Shakespeare's  country,  toured  the 
coast  of  Ireland,  drove  through  the  Tros- 
sachs  in  Scotland  —  then  on  to  Brugge 
and  Ghent  in  Belgium.  We  visited  Ge- 
neva, took  the  cable  car  to  Mt.  Blanc; 
on  to  Denmark  where  we  visited  Ham- 
let's castle  —  and  others  in  Copenhagen. 
From  Denmark  we  took  the  ferry  to 
Sweden." 

"We  have  just  moved  to  Martinsville, 
N.J.  —  where  John  is  with  Johns-Man- 
ville."  writes  Donna  Silver  Peet.  "We 
love  this  section  of  the  country  —  and  I 
would  love  to  see  any  other  Lasell  girls 
in  the  area." 

After  receiving  a  B.S.  degree  in  Home

Kalegeros.  "My  hat  is  off  to  Joan  Darelius 
Chirnside  and  Liz  Sleight  Dexter."

Earl  H.  Ordway 

One  of  the  favorite  members  of  the  Lasell  Family,  Earl  H.  Ordway,  died 
suddenly  on  Sunday,  June  28,  1964.  Best  known  to  alumnae  as  Coach  of  Crew, 
Superintendent  of  Buildings  and  Grounds  and  member  of  the  faculty,  Mr.  Ordway 
had  been  associated  with  the  College  for  61  years. 

In  1948  he  was  elected  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees;  in  1949,  was 
appointed  to  the  Executive  Committee;  and  the  following  year,  was  voted  to  serve 
on  the  Finance  Committee  of  the  Board.  Shortly  after  his  retirement  in  1959,  the 
brick  dormitory  on  Maple  Street  was  named  in  his  honor. 

A  half-brother  of  Lasell's  late  President,  Dr.  Guy  M.  Winslow,  Mr.  Ordway 
is  survived  by  his  wife,  Frances  (Whitney)  Ordway;  a  daughter,  Barbara  Ordway 
Brewer  '35;  a  son,  David;  a  sister,  Marion  Ordway  Corley  '11;  and  four  grand- 
children. At  the  request  of  the  family,  contributions  in  his  memory  may  be  made 
to  the  Lasell  Building  Fund.

Faith 

I  looked  for  God  in  morning  skies  and  evening 

In  men's  minds  everywhere. 

I  looked  for  Him  in  dim  carved  chambers 

I  did  not  find  Him  there. 

I  look  no  more 

And  yet  —  God  one  day,  listening, 

May  hear  an  unsaid  prayer 

May  softly  furl  wide  golden  wings  unbidden 

And  stand  beside  my  chair.

FROM  PRESIDENT  TEWKSBURY  .... 

It  is  interesting  to  note,  over  the  years,  how  the  subject  offerings  at  Lasell 
have  changed.  In  one  of  the  early  Seminary  catalogues  inlaying  pearl,  oak 
carving,  fashioning  wax  flowers  and  Grecian  painting  were  among  the  talents 
that  could  be  developed  by  a  student. 

However,  as  the  role  of  women  in  our  American  culture  changed,  our  cur- 
riculum changed,  too.  This  is  a  never-ending  process.  A  glance  at  some  of  the 
new  course  offerings  will  make  this  apparent. 

It  has  long  been  felt  that  students  have  had  the  opportunity  to  become 
well-informed  on  the  contributions  of  Western  civilization,  but  that  the  cultures 
of  Asia  and  Africa,  for  example,  were  much  neglected  in  American  colleges.  For 
many  years  Lasell  has  offered  a  course  in  Russian  history;  next  semester,  African 
history  will,  be  added  to  the  curriculum.  This  will  deal  with  the  geography  of 
Africa,  racial  and  language  distribution  of  native  population  groups  —  their  cul- 
ture and  art.  The  semester  will  conclude  with  the  story  of  the  impact  of  the 
World  Wars,  the  termination  of  European  control,  and  the  resulting  patterns  of 
emerging  nations. 

The  present  expectation  is  that  alternating  semesters  of  work  can  be  offered 
in  Russian,  Asiatic,  and  African  history  so  that  many  students  may  learn  of 
several  cultures  during  their  two  years  at  Lasell. 

An  understanding  of  our  own  national  government  is  so  important  that  a 
detailed  study  of  its  intricacies  will  be  included  to  supplement  American  history 
next  semester. 

Last  Spring  an  experimental  course  which  we  labelled  Approaches  to  World 
Problems  was  instituted.  It  has  an  approximation  of  an  "honors"  seminar,  which 
deals  with  the  historical,  sociological,  educational,  and  economic  perspectives  of 
rich  and  poor  nations.  It  concerns  itself  with  how  world  problems  appear  from 
the  perspective  of  the  artist,  the  scientist,  the  social  scientist,  the  man  of  religion 
and  modern  man  in  general.  Much  time  is  given  to  investigation  of  problems  of 
modern  society  which  especially  interest  the  Senior  girl. 

An  additional  offering  in  sociology  next  Spring  will  be  Marriage  and  the 
Family.  This  concerns  itself  with  such  topics  as  dating,  mate  selection,  success  and 
adjustment  in  marriage,  parenthood  and  the  conflicts  and  crises  which  affect 
the  changing  patterns  of  the  American  family. 

A  college  curriculum  is  never  static;  instead,  it  is  vital  and  constantly  subject 
to  change,  thus  representing  the  society  which  it  reflects.  Conventional  subject 
matter  is  revised  as  advances  are  made  in  the  realm  of  human  knowledge.  New 
courses  are  added  as  society  brings  new  emphases;  others  are  deleted  as  their 
usefulness  or  interest  in  them  becomes  less  apparent.  Sometimes  those  of  us 
who  remember  "the  good  old  days"  are  sorrowful  because  some  favorite  subject 
has  disappeared  (sewing,  for  example,  is  a  lost  art),  but  we  must  resign  ourselves 
to  the  fact  that  the  world  moves  on  and  a  new  generation  requires  new  approaches. 
All  of  which  is  a  way  of  saying  that  Lasell  does  give  attention  to  the  restless 
tides  of  a  changing  world  and  attempts  to  accommodate  its  program  to  them.

THE  ALUMNAE  BAZAAR 


Tuesday,  November  17,  will  long  be  remembered  as  a  most  exciting  day 
of  the  1964-65  college  year.  The  occasion  was  the  first  alumnae-sponsored  Bazaar, 
held  at  Winslow  Hall  for  the  benefit  of  The  Building  Fund.  A  profit  of  more 
than  $3600  has  been  realized  from  the  one-day  venture. 


General  Chairman  for  the  Bazaar  was  Rosalie  Brightman  Rosen,  popular 
Life  Secretary  of  the  Class  of  1927  and  a  member  of  the  College  Board  of  Trustees. 
Plans  were  formulated  early  last  spring  and  during  the  following  months  details 
were  assigned  to  various  committees.  Over  one  hundred  Boston-area  alumnae 
participated  in  making  the  Bazaar  a  tremendous  success;  committee  chairmen 
and  co-chairmen  included: 


Christmas  Decorations:

Alumnae  Clubs  worked  enthusiastically  in  support  of  the  project;  special 
thanks  are  extended  to  the  Western  Massachusetts  girls  who  forwarded  the  items 
collected  for  their  own  Silent  Auction,  and  to  the  Bridgeport  and  Philadelphia- 
South  Jersey  groups  for  their  additional  contributions  of  unique  Christmas 
Decorations.  The  spontaneous  response  from  faculty,  college  personnel,  countless 
alumnae  and  other  friends  was  truly  appreciated  —  for  weeks  "every  day  was  a 
Christmas  Day"  —  the  mails  brought  innumerable  packages,  each  containing  at- 
tractive saleable  items.

The  Seniors  of  Carpenter  House  volunteered  to  canvas  the  campus;  sold  books 
of  chances;  reported  total  sales  of  $127.80;  claimed  a  case  of  coffee  with  a 
"winning  number."  Afternoon  entertainment  was  provided  by  The  Lamp  Lighters; 
The  Dance  Club,  accompanied  by  "Uncle  Louie"  Heffermehl;  and  by  Brenda 
Anderson  '64,  former  Massachusetts  State  Champion  baton  twirler.  Local  trades- 
people donated  merchandise  for  resale;  college  suppliers  furnished  many  useful 
and  necessary  items. 

Louise  Woolley  Morgan  '23  took  time  from  a  busy  radio  schedule  to  serve 
as  mistress  of  ceremonies  at  the  gift  drawing.  Award  winners  included  campus 
residents,  Auburndale  neighbors,  His  Honor  the  Mayor  of  Newton,  relatives  of 
alumnae,  and  lucky  ones  within  three  Alumnae  Clubs. 

Friendliness,  enthusiasm  and  true  loyalty  were  the  keynote  of  this  highly 
successful  Bazaar.    Rosalie  adds  the  following: 

"The  success  of  the  recent  Alumnae  Bazaar  exceeded  our  most  optimistic 
hopes.  For  our  first  attempt  —  with  the  record  and  the  experience  gained  —  we 
have  plans  to  make  this  an  annual  Fund  Raising  event. 


"Sincere  thanks  should  be  given  to  the  dedicated  Committee,  who  planned 
and  worked  so  diligently  for  months. 

".  .  .  thanks  to  the  many  alumnae  who  sent  contributions,  and  to  the  girls 
who  served  throughout  the  day. 

".  .  .  thanks  to  Mr.  James  Stanley,  Lasell's  Director  of  Development,  who 
arranged  the  complete  and  fine  radio,  TV  and  newspaper  publicity,  and  who  so 
willingly  helped  wherever  he  was  needed.

FROM  THE  ALUMNAE  .... 


1874-1882 

On  Friday,  September  18,  1964  Mrs. 
Mira  Sweet  Hall  enjoyed  a  birthday  cake 
which  showed  that  she's  five  years  into 
her  second  century.  Her  105th  birthday 
anniversary  party  was  held  at  a  Cape  Cod 
nursing  home,  where  she  has  lived  for  the 
past  six  years.  Mrs.  Hall's  advice  on  her 
105th  was  the  same  as  it  was  on  her 
100th:  "The  secret  of  long  life  is  good 
living." 

Mrs.  Hall  was  born  September  18,  1859 
at  74  Grove  Street,  Auburndale;  one  of 
four  children,  of  whom  she  is  the  only 
survivor.  She  is  the  oldest  living  alumna 
of  Lasell,  having  attended  the  Seminary 
from  1874  to  1882.  Her  sister,  the  late 
Elizabeth  Sweet  Darling,  was  also  en- 
rolled at  the  Seminary  from  1873  to  1877. 

One  of  the  first  subscribers  to  the  Boston 
Symphony  Orchestra,  Mrs.  Hall  subscribed 
to  a  seat  for  70  years.  She  is  also  one  of 
the  oldest  living  stockholders  of  the 
American  Telephone  &  Telegraph  Com- 
pany. She  was  an  ardent  horsewoman  and 
rode  until  she  was  65.  Mrs.  Hall  lived 
in  Paris  for  a  number  of  years  and  speaks 
French  fluently. 

Mrs.  Hall  has  two  nieces,  Mrs.  L.  Car- 
roll of  Sandwich  (Mass.)  and  Mrs.  Sylvia 
Coffin  of  Wellesley;  and  a  nephew,  Law- 
rence Davis  of  Springfield,  Mass. 


Lasell  and  the  Alumnae  Association 
extend  sincere  thanks  to  Miss  Mary  G. 
Ballard,  a  West  Newton  neighbor.  In 
the  late  summer  Miss  Ballard  presented 
the  College  with  an  oil  portrait  of 
Mary  I.  Williams,  a  charter  student  of 
Lasell  Seminary  and  a  member  of  its 
second  graduating  class,  1855.  Mary 
Williams  was  the  roommate  of  Miss 
Ballard's  great  aunt,  Frances  M.  Robin- 
son of  Lexington,  Mass. 


1902 

Cora  Belle  Stone  Trimmer  x-'02  writes 
that  she  had  received  a  note  from  the 
Reverend  Mabelle  Whitney  '03  who  re- 
ported that  she  was  well  and  enjoying 
life.  Mrs.  Trimmer  also  advised  that 
Harriet  Pendexter  '01  was  residing  in  a 
nursing  home  and  Kit  McCoy  had  become 
incapacitated  with  a  broken  arm  and  was 
unable  to  travel  to  Florida. 


1903 

Mary  Goodwin  Olmsted  sent  greetings 
to  all  1964  Reunioners  and  added:  "May 
they  all  enjoy  the  occasion  as  much  as  I 
did  a  year  ago.  We  were  most  graciously 
and  delightfully  entertained." 

And  from  Philadelphia,  Emily  Clemens 
wrote:  "Every  year,  as  the  Commence- 
ment season  approaches,  Isabella  (Clemens 
'01)  and  I  say  we  would  enjoy  so  much 
the  trip  to  Lasell.  We  were  on  the  campus 
in  1951  for  her  50th  Reunion  — -  it  was 
the  occasion  of  the  Centennial  Celebra- 
tion —  a  great  event!  I  enjoyed  my 
Special  Reunion  in  1953  —  and  visited 
with  my  dear  friends  Bertha  Hayden  King, 
Rose  Taylor,  Elizabeth  Whitley  Dean  and 
the  late  Callie  LeSeuer  Wilson.  We  are 
looking  forward  to  our  annual  trip  to 
Scotland  —  Sailing  on  June  11th  on  the 
Mauretania.  All  good  wishes  to  the  Col- 
lege." 

Edith  Ebersole  Doud  thoughtfully  noti- 
fied the  College  of  the  death  of  Miss 
Mary  Augusta  Mullikin,  and  adds:  "Miss 
Mullikin,  another  Cincinnatian  and  a  very 
close  friend  of  our  family,  died  on  Feb- 
ruary 11,  1964.  She  had  a  varied  and 
distinguished  career  in  many  parts  of  the 
world  and  was  a  fine  artist."  Miss  Mulli- 
kin was  a  member  of  the  Art  Faculty  of 
Lasell  from  1901  to  1921. 


1904 

Grace  Ordway  Miller  has  returned  to 
Monterey,  California,  after  a  happy  and 
"busy"  visit  with  her  eldest  daughter, 
Muriel,  in  Mexico  City.  They  attended 
the  wedding  of  Muriel's  son  in  Houston, 
Texas;  in  June  .they  traveled  to  Louisiana 
for   the   graduation    of   Muriel's    daughter.

1905 

From  Barbara  Vail  Bosworth:  "A  new 
address  for  Grace  Rowe  Vail  '05:  Metho- 
dist Retirement  Home,  Durham,  North 
Carolina.  And  for  Margaret  Watkins 
Wilmot  '04-'05:  39  E  (2),  Seattle  88, 
Washington.  Margaret's  father,  Dr.  T. 
Corwin  Watkins,  was  instructor  of  Phi- 
losophy and  Economics  at  the  Seminary; 
her  mother  was  a  trustee  of  the  Morgan 
Memorial  Goodwill  Industries." 

Hazel  Carey  Adam  writes:  "My  hus- 
band died  in  February.  We  had  been 
married  57  years.  Our  engagement  was 
announced  at  the  Class  Day  exercises  in 
1905." 


1909 

Maria  Riker  Hume  writes:  "I  had  a 
most  delightful  time  at  our  55th  Reunion 
in  June.  Sorry  there  were  no  other  '09 
delegates  present." 

Constance  Blackstock  "became  an  Amer- 
ican citizen  on  June  15,  1964  and  voted 
for  the  first  time  in  an  American  election." 


1910 

Marion  Hale  Bottomley  is  "thrilled  to 
read  of  the  growth  of  the  College.  Am 
looking  forward  to  seeing  many  class- 
mates and  friends  on  the  occasion  of 
our  55th  Reunion  in  June." 


1906 

The  many  friends  of  Irene  Sauter  San- 
ford  will  be  saddened  to  hear  of  her 
death  in  the  last  week  of  November.  For 
two  years  Irene  was  dependent  on  a 
wheelchair  as  the  result  of  a  broken  hip. 
A  Life  Member  of  the  Alumnae  Associa- 
tion, she  served  as  a  member  of  the  Board 
of  Trustees  of  the  College  since  1921.  Our 
deep  sympathy  goes  out  to  Mary  Ruth 
x-'37,  the  dear  daughter  whose  devotion 
was  Irene's  greatest  comfort.

1907 

From  Class  Agent,  Lillian  Douglass  Heeb 
—  in  July: 

"I  am  indeed  proud  of  the  Class  of  1907 
for  its  contribution  to  the  1963-64  Alumnae 
Fund.  Have  enjoyed  the  Bulletins  and  am 
so  interested  in  Lasell's  plans  for  the  fu- 
ture. Ida  Sisson  Craver  and  husband  George 
celebrated  their  50th  wedding  anniversary  in 
June.  In  the  spring  I  enjoyed  a  short  trip  to 
the  desert  to  see  the  flowers;  and  in  the 
early  summer  I  spent  two  weeks  in  the 
Lake  Tahoe  country." 

Carrie  Sessions  Dodge  x-'07  and  hus- 
band George  have  moved  to  42-30  Doug- 
laston  Parkway,  Douglaston,  Long  Is- 
land, New  York. 

The  Class  extends  sincere  sympathy  to 
Helen  Carter  Johnson,  whose  husband, 
Mr.  Ralph  G.  Johnson,  died  on  Septem- 
ber 14,  1964. 


1908 

In  October,  Charlotte  Ryder  Hall  moved 
to  a  new  home  at  238  Norway  Road, 
Bangor,  Maine. 


1912 

From  Agnes  Adelsdorf:  "It  is  news,  I 
am  sure,  when  such  an  'old  girl'  gets 
married!  On  November  11,  1964  I  was 
married  to  Mr.  Henry  Gale  at  the  home 
of  my  daughter  in  McLean,  Virginia.  All 
our  children,  step-children  and  my  four 
grandchildren  were  present." 


1914 

Dear  Lasell  1914-ers, 

This  morning  when  I  took  Carolyn 
Moore  and  Myra  Eby  Craighead  to  take 
the  bus  to  Boston,  I  felt  as  if  it  were  the 
end  of  a  wonderful  Reunion.  Then  I  real- 
ized how  much  I  had  to  remember  and 
how  much  closer  all  of  us  feel  who 
attended. 

We  all  stayed  in  Haskell  House  —  im- 
agine the  thrill  of  seeing  Marcia  Fogg 
Moore,  my  roommate  fifty  years  ago, 
waiting  in  the  hall  !  Haskell  is  located 
across  Woodland  Road  from  the  dining 
room,  and  opposite  the  lovely  home  of 
Lasell's  President,  Dr.  Blake  Tewksbury. 
We  had  a  delicious  luncheon  there  on 
Saturday  and  I  could  talk  a  lot  about 
that  treat.  Mrs.  Tewksbury  is  a  delightful 
lady  who  entertains  with  ease  and  grace. 
The  Tewksburys  have  initiated  monthly 
Birthday  Coffees  —  and  every  senior  is 
entertained.  During  our  luncheon  I  asked 
Dr.  Tewksbury  many  questions  on  present 
policies.  His  answers  made  it  evident 
that  Lasell  has  changed,  but  still  main- 
tains  high  standards. 

As  you  know,  a  long  time  ago  I  wrote 
asking  each  of  you  to  send  me  highlights 
of  your  past  fifty  years,  also  pictures. 
Friday  night  we  spent  reading,  talking, 
looking  at  pictures  ■ —  would  that  I  had 
a  tape  recording. 


LASELL  LEAVES 


50th    Reunioners 

L.  to  r.:  Carolyn  Moore,  Dorothy  Hart- 
shorn Underwood,  Mary  Quick  Dean, 
Mildred  Smith  Leach,  Myra  Eby  Craig- 
head, and  Ruby  Newcomb  McCorkin- 
dale 

Saturday  there  were  tours  of  the  cam- 
pus, our  luncheon,  afternoon  naps,  and 
the  Alumnae  Dinner.  Ruby  had  gold  cor- 
sages with  red  1914  numerals.  Mary  Dean 
had  made  clever  place  cards,  using  pic- 
tures from  a  yearbook  which  Mabel 
Jones  kindly  sent.  Ruby  sat  at  the  head 
table  and  made  a  short  speech  with  her 
usual  quiet  dignity.  Dr.  Tewksbury  gave 
a  picture  of  what  Lasell  could  become. 
The  College  has  acquired  plenty  of  land 
and  there  is  a  tentative  plan  for  additional 
buildings.  Lasell  now  enrolls  675  students 
and  could  accommodate  1000  with  the 
new  facilities. 

Although  it  is  evident  money  is  needed, 
no  pressure  was  made  and  our  class  de- 
cided to  give  as  we  could  when  the  annual 
appeal  comes  in  the  fall.  Our  only  ex- 
pense after  arriving  at  Lasell  was  the 
$15.00  for  two  nights  and  four  excellent 
meals,  and  a  small  contribution  to  a  Paul 
Revere  bowl  which  we  presented  to  Mrs. 
Tewksbury.  The  following  were  present 
and  all  agreed  they  never  had  more  for 
their  money:  Myra  Eby  Craighead,  Marcia 
Fogg  Moore,  Mary  Quick  Dean,  Mildred 
Smith  Leach,  Angeline  Emery  MacCul- 
loch,  Elsie  Doleman,  Helen  Stockwell 
Pattison,  Ruby  Newcomb  McCorkindale, 
Carolyn  Moore,  and  myself  —  Dorothy 
Hartshorn  Underwood.  Dorothy  Smith 
Tolman  and  Maria  Riker  Hume  '09  also 
joined   us. 

Saturday  night  ended  with  a  bridge 
game,  and  after  breakfast  Sunday,  Carolyn, 
Myra,  and   I   came   to  Jaffrey.    That  night 


Clint  joined  us  for  bridge.  Myra  always 
won,  but  then  she  has  been  on  a  "bridge 
cruise"    with   Mr.    Charles   Goren. 

I  know  of  no  way  of  sending  all  the 
news  but  we  have  kept  the  letters  and 
pictures  in  individual  envelopes  and  if 
those  who  came  or  wrote  will  send  me 
more,  and  those  who  didn't  will  start, 
I'll  gladly  add  more  envelopes.  As  you 
may  have  guessed,  I  am  now  your  Secre- 
tary. It  took  much  campaigning  but  I'll 
release  the  job  to  anyone  who  will  take  it. 

Beside  those  present,  we  had  news  and 
pictures  from  Abbie  Viener  Moss,  Ruth 
Adt  Stephenson,  Helen  Baird  Vance,  Lois 
Brader  Buckner,  Ethel  Vance  Foster,  Dor- 
othy Payne  Whiteway,  Alleda  Burnett 
Arneson,  Ruth  Thatcher  Brown,  Helen 
Rollins  Fisher,  Jo  Kenower  Bridge,  Ruth 
Davis  Giller,  Mabel  Jones  Carlton  and 
Mary  Hannah  Bingaman.  A  splendid  let- 
ter from  the  son  of  Barbara  Jones  Bates 
tells  us  his  mother  was  too  ill  to  write 
but  has  many  fond  memories  of  her 
Lasell  friends.  A  telegram  to  Ruby  from 
Lucile  Scott  Childers  was  delivered  at  the 
alumnae   banquet. 

With  best  wishes  to  you  all  and  the 
hope  for  more  news.  We  —  Ruby,  Mary 
and  I  —  thank  everyone  who  helped  to 
make    our    50th    a    very    happy    occasion. 

.     .     .    Dorothy    Hartshorn    Underwood 

In  October,  Dorothy  added  a  post- 
script to  the  above  happy  report: 

"A  note  just  came  from  Dorothy  Can- 
field  Cheseldine's  daughter  telling  of  her 
mother's  death  on  October  20.  Have  also 
been  informed  of  the  death  of  Ethel  Vance 
Foster  on  August  31  in  Eastchester,  New 
York.  Ethel  was  the  food  editor  of  the 
Los  Angeles  Times  from  1927  to  1939."

1915 

Nell  Woodward  Collins  forwarded  bits 
of   news    from    the    Round    Robin    Letter: 

"Irene  Ball  Sill,  we  are  delighted  to 
hear,  is  now  feeling  wonderfully  well. 
Margrethe  Bauman  sends  friendly  greetings, 
and  Elizabeth  Beach  Bierer  continues  her 
most  worthwhile  work  for  the  Missionary 
Society. 

"Ida  Beane  Rice  is  very  much  occupied 
with  the  furnishing  of  Halfway  House, 
a  new  facility  provided  for  the  Women's 
Reformatory  at  Sherborn  (Mass.)  by  the 
Friends  of  Framingham.  For  many  years 
Ida  has  devoted  much  time  to  the  institu- 
tion. Katharine  Bingaman  Heron  and  sis- 
ter, Hannah  (Bingaman  '14),  have  trav- 
elled extensively;  have  visited  many  Lasell 
friends  along  the  way. 

"Our  belated,  but  most  sincere  sympa- 
thy is  extended  to  Irene  Apfelbaum  Liv- 
ingstone on  the  death  of  her  husband, 
Mr.  Leon  Livingstone,  of  Dallas,  Texas. 
We  are  sorry  to  learn  of  the  great  loss 
in  Myrtle  Brix  Spangler's  family  in  the 
recent  death  of  her  daughter.  Billie's 
husband,  a  former  National  Chairman  of 
the  G.O.P.,  is  still  very  much  interested 
in  the  party's  politics  and  attended  the 
convention  in  San  Francisco.  We  are 
hoping  that  it  will  be  possible  for  Billie 
to  join  us  at  Lasell  for  our  50th  Reunion. 

"Catherine  Carter  Rasbach  is  most  happy 
in  a  new  St.  Louis  apartment  ■ —  a  residence 
for  Senior  Citizens.  Bess  Emerine  visited 
Brattleboro,  Vermont,  where  she  called 
on  the  families  of  our  two  classmates 
who  passed  away  many  years  ago:  Evelyn 
Dunham  Mason  and  Elizabeth  Hildreth 
Sherman.  Bess  has  also  recently  seen 
Lydia  Rich  Gray  x-'19  and  Marion  Lerch 
Mehle  '16.  Florence  Evans  Valpey  wrote 
of  having  visited  Bess  last  Thanksgiving 
and  is  so  impressed  by  the  fine  work 
Bess  still  does  in  the  Welfare  Department 
of  Toledo. 

"We  received  a  letter  from  Veda  Fer- 
guson Purdy,  enclosing  pictures  of  her- 
self taken  on  a  recent  world  cruise.  Kath- 
erine  Hoag  Norgren  is  always  so  faithful 
in  keeping  various  members  of  the  Class 
of  1915  in  touch  with  one  another.  Re- 
cently, she  and  her  husband  returned  to 
their  old  home  in  Chicago  for  a  visit 
with  friends  and  relatives. 

"Ethel  Murray  Kuykendall  has  received 
word  from  Dot  Brate  McPherrin  '16  and 
our  'long-lost'  classmate,  Doris  Waller 
O'Hara.  Clara  Paton  Suhlke  forwarded  a 
picture  taken  at  a  recent  luncheon  of  the 
South  Florida  Lasell  Club.  It  is  always 
fun  to  see  pictures  of  friends  whom  we 
have  not  met  for  years.  Ada  Patterson 
is  off  on  another  Grand  Tour.  Evelina 
Perkins    attended    the    Boston    Club    Silver 


Tea,  held  at  the  home  of  Dr.  and  Mrs. 
Tewksbury  in  early  November.  Our 
'Perk'  has  the  most  wonderful  spirit  — 
ever. 

"Gladys  Wilkes  McCutchen  recently  vis- 
ited with  Lucile  Scott  Childers  '14,  an 
elder  of  the  Temple  (Texas)  Presbyterian 
Church.  We  are  ever  proud  of  Madeline 
Farmer  Ryder's  efforts  on  behalf  of  our 
Alma  Mater.  She  is  a  loyal  gal  if  ever 
there  was  one ! 

"As  for  Nell  Woodward  Collins  — 
she's  just  the  same  and  hopes  to  see  many 
of  you  at  our  50th  Reunion  in  June 
1965." 

1916 

Dr.  Carol  M.  Rice  reports  from  Sweet 
Briar,  Virginia:  "Our  Round  Robin  Class 
Letter  has  just  arrived  here.  It  has  been 
in  the  mails  constantly  since  our  gradua- 
tion —  I  suspect  that  is  a  record!" 

The  Class  extends  sincere  sympathy  to 
Lavinia  Fera  McKinney,  whose  mother, 
Mrs.  C.  A.  Fera,  passed  away  in  February 
1964. 

Florence  S.  Kimball,  daughter  of  Mabel 
Straker  Kimball  '16,  recently  received  a 
Medal  of  Honor  at  the  annual  meeting 
of  the  Alumnae  Association  of  Mt.  Hol- 
yoke  College.  Miss  Kimball,  a  Lt.  Com- 
mander in  the  Naval  Reserve  for  some  20 
years  and  a  disbursing  officer  with  the 
WAVES  from  1942-46,  was  commended 
for  the  "honor  and  recognition"  her  ser- 
vice to  her  country  has  brought  to  her 
college.  Registrar  at  Mount  Holyoke 
College  since  last  May  and  alumni  re- 
corder at  Harvard  for  ten  years,  Miss 
Kimball  was  cited  for  her  service  to  her 
class  as  treasurer  and  reunion  gift  chair- 
man to  the  Mount  Holyoke  Club  of  Bos- 
ton as  president,  and  to  the  Alumnae 
Association  as  recording  secretary.

1917 

On  August  11,  1964  Mildred  Strain 
Nutter  was  hostess  of  the  annual  Lasell 
picnic,  held  at  the  Nutter's  summer  home 
in  Pocasset.  Host  for  the  occasion  was 
Master  Bradford  Bruce  Bredehoft,  son  of 
Marion  Nutter  Bredehoft  '55. 

Lasellites  present  included:  Helen  M. 
Saunders  '17,  Marian  Beach  Barlow  '16, 
Mabel  Straker  Kimball  '16,  Madeline 
Farmer  Ryder  x-'15,  Ruth  Taylor  Collinson 
x-'17,  Freda  Griffin  Leining  '20,  Marion

bara McLellan  McCormick  '18,  and  special 
guests,  Miss  Muriel  McClelland  and  Mrs. 
Ruth  Irwin  Rex,  niece  of  the  late  Miss 
Grace  Irwin. 

1918 

Virginia  Moore  Starkey  was  a  Septem- 
ber guest  of  Mildred  Cary  Hill  in  Bel- 
grade Lakes,  Maine.  Mid  and  husband  will 
drive  to  St.  Paul,  Minnesota  to  spend  the 
Christmas  holidays  with  Mid's  daughter, 
Janet  Eaton  Maynard  '45,  and  family. 

Dorothy  Barnes  Paine  continues  "to 
think  of  the  good  times  we  all  enjoyed 
at  the  45th  Reunion,  and  only  hope  more 
of  us  will  be  at  the  College  in  1968." 

And  from  Gail  Wilson  Boynton:  "My 
husband  and  I  enjoyed  a  tour  of  Lasell's 
campus  recently  —  we  were  in  Boston  for 
the  Harvard-Dartmouth  game.  We  were 
much  impressed  with  the  many  new 
buildings." 


1919 

On  hand  to  celebrate  the  45th  Reunion 
of  the  Class  of  1919  were:  Miriam  Bell 
Bell,  Olive  Chase  Mayo,  Frances  Coombs, 
Mary  Eshleman  Willauer,  Marguerite 
Houser  Hamlin,  Alice  MacFarland  Dun- 
lop, Ethel  Ramage  Fisk,  Helen  Webster 
Fitz,  Sybil  Weymouth  Braniff,  Ethelyn 
Wilson  Gerow  and  Mercie  V.  Nichols, 
Barbara  McLellan  McCormick  '18  and 
Gertrude  Hooper  Ring  '32,  who  drove 
Frances  Coombs  from  Maine,  joined  us 
for  luncheon  on  Saturday. 

The  new  plan  for  a  Weekend  of  Re- 
union —  following  the  Commencement 
activities  at  the  College  —  was  a  splendid 
idea.  The  resident  1919-ers  were  assigned 
to  a  corridor  in  Woodland  dormitory  — 
a  private  living-room  suite  provided  a 
wonderful  spot  for  gathering,  gabbing 
and  entertaining. 

The  Class  Gift  to  Lasell  was  a  metal, 
glass-enclosed  Bulletin  Board,  which  has 
been  installed  in  the  foyer  of  the  new 
classroom  building,  named  in  honor  of 
our  dear  Class  President,  Priscilla  Alden 
Wolfe.  More  than  ever  we  missed  her 
presence  at  our  Reunion,  and  we  are 
pleased  to  know  that  always  at  our  Re- 
unions we  shall  see  and  visit  with  her 
daughter,  Virginia  Wolfe  Perkins  '44. 
And  we  all  agreed  that  like  her  mother, 
Virginia  will  continue  to  serve  the 
College   with  loyalty   and   enthusiasm. 

Those  of  us  who  had  reservations  for 
the  entire  weekend  went  first  to  Winslow 
Hall  for  registration  and  enjoyed  the 
buffet  dinner,  served  there  on  Friday  eve- 
ning. On  the  way  to  our  luncheon  at 
Sudbury's  famed  Wayside  Inn,  we  stopped 
to  enjoy  Alice  MacFarland  Dunlop's  gra- 
cious   hospitality    in    Framingham    Centre.

Weatherwise,  Saturday  was  not  a  sunny 
day  —  but  that  certainly  didn't  dampen 
our  spirits.  The  Alumnae  Banquet  on 
Saturday  at  Woodland  Hall  was  a  festive 
and  thoroughly  enjoyable  affair. 

Sunday  morning  we  had  breakfast  with 
old  and  newly-made  Lasell  friends;  then 
au  revoir  until  our  next  meeting.  We 
missed  the  girls  who  could  not  be  with 
us;  we  enjoyed  the  notes  and  letters  from 
several  of  those  far  away. 

Let's  begin  right  now  .   .  .  save  a  June 


date    for    1969 
Lasell  for  our  50th. 


let's    all    meet    at 
.   .   .  M.V.N. 


1922 

Phyllis    sends    news    of    several    '22-ers: 

Florence  Day  Wentworth:  Calls  her  new 
home  —  5  Bayberry  Lane,  Exeter,  N.H.  ■ — 
a  veritable  "dream  house." 

Mabel  Rawlings  Eckhardt:  A  brief  mes- 
sage, but  one  we  would  be  most  happy 
to  duplicate:  "Not  much  news  —  but 
we    are    reasonably    healthy    and    happy." 

"Sis"  Loomis  Steubing:  Reports  her 
mother,  now  over  90  years  of  age,  is 
in  an  Albuquerque  rest  home,  where  sis- 
ter, Marge  Loomis  Collingwood  '21,  keeps 
watch  over  her.  Sis  speaks  like  a  typical 
grandmother  —  the  grandchildren  are  "all 
as  smart  and  as  beautiful  as  can  be." 

Mildred  Melgaard  Rees:  Ever  interested 
in  the  work  of  the  Southern  California 
Lasell  Club.  Her  son,  Tom,  now  deep  in 
Sacramento  politics,  adds  excitement  to 
their  lives.  Son  John  is  studying  for  a 
Ph.D.   at  the  University  of  Vienna. 

Marjorie  Gifford  Grimm:  She  and 
George  travelled  to  California  via  train 
last  summer  —  tried  to  contact  me  the 
one  day  I  was  away. 

Elizabeth  Tarr  Benton:  After  catching 
their  breath  from  a  Mexican  tour,  she 
and  her  husband  were  off  for  a  European 
holiday. 

Theresa  Thompson  Osborne:  Sent  a  de- 
tailed account  of  the  trip  she  and  Don 
enjoyed  at  the  time  of  their  anniversary. 
Their  itinerary  included  Holland,  Aus- 
tria, and  France.  With  English  friends, 
they  had  a  superior  view  of  the  English 
countryside. 

1923 

In  September  1964,  Helen  Chapman 
Frost  retired  from  the  Planning  Board 
of  the  City  of  Portland,  Maine.  Mrs. 
Frost  was  elected  to  the  City  Council  in 
1944  and  served  ten  years.  In  her  second 
and  sixth  years  she  was  named  council 
chairman,  the  only  woman  in  Portland's 
history  to   hold  the   post. 


From  the  Class  of  1924 

L.  to  r.:  Dorothy  Redman  Finch,  Geral- 
dine  Wilder  Bogart,  Helen  Perry,  Fran- 
ces Badger,  Marguerite  Murray  Keene 
and   Kay  Webb 


1924 
40th  REUNION 

What  the  Class  of  '24  lacked  for  in 
numbers  at  its  40th  Reunion,  it  made  up 
for  in  fun  and  laughter.  Seven  lucky 
"Little  White  Doves"  made  the  trip  back 
to  Lasell:  Class  President  Frances  Badger, 
Kay  Webb,  Helen  Perry,  Dorothy  Red- 
man Finch,  Geraldine  Wilder  Bogart, 
Marguerite  (Jimmie)  Murray  Keene,  and 
Esther  Palmer  Dwinell.  What  fun  we  had 
and  what  mirthful  memories  were  re- 
counted ! 

We  greatly  missed  those  who  were  not 
able  to  join  us,  and  hope  many  more  will 
be  able  to  return  for  our  45th.  Helen 
Perry  received  and  shared  with  us  a  tele- 
gram from  Elizabeth  Anderson  Hanna; 
letters  from  Edith  Clendenin  Stahl,  Helen 
Robson  Hamill  and  Alice  McCaghey  Shu- 
ler.  Adele  Bigham  Nelson  had  made  res- 
ervations for  the  weekend,  but  at  the  last 
minute  was  forced  to  cancel.  With  her 
letter  of  regret,  Adele  enclosed  a  generous 
check  to  the  Alumnae  Fund. 

A  great  surprise  that  afforded  much 
pleasure  was  the  presence  of  Louise  (Pinkie) 
Puckett  Neill,  president  of  the  Class  of 
1923.  We  were  so  happy  to  have  her  and 
her  classmate,  Toni  Meritt  Smith,  join  us 
for  dinner.  Just  before  the  banquet  it  was 
discovered  that  both  "Pinkie"  and  our 
Alumnae  Secretary,  Marjorie  MacClymon 
'32,  were  to  celebrate  birthdays  the  next 
day,  so  a  bit  of  extra  fun  was  added  to  the

LASELL  LEAVES 


gaiety  in  the  dining  room  when  a  toast 
was  given  to  both  girls.  Then  we  learned 
that  Marguerite  Houser  Hamlin  '19  was 
also  celebrating  her  birthday;  once  again 
the  Woodland  dining  hall  was  filled  with 
the  strains  of  "Happy  Birthday."  Every- 
one   was    in    excellent    voice    and    spirits. 

Geraldine  Wilder  Bogart  claimed  hon- 
ors for  our  "long  distance  traveler"  — 
coming  from  San  Mateo,  California.  Pinkie, 
another  Californian  —  Corona  del  Mar  — 
arrived  in  Boston  on  June  9  for  an  ex- 
tended New  England  vacation.  She  shared 
her  time  between  the  homes  of  her  broth- 
er, Col.  Robert  S.  Puckett,  at  Hanscom 
Field  in  Bedford;  with  Esther  Palmer 
Dwinell  in  Arlington;  with  Carolyn  Badger 
Seybolt  '22,  Newcastle,  N.H.;  and  Norma 
Prentis  Phillips,  Center  Tuftonboro,  N.H. 
While  in  the  Boston  area,  Pinkie  was 
entertained  at  the  Cambridge  home  of 
Lovina  Smith  Stefnan  '23.  Other  luncheon 
guests  included  Claire  Parker  Everett  '23, 
Ruth  Dinsmore  Sayward,  Louise  Orr  Dan- 
iels x-'23  and  Esther  Palmer  Dwinell. 
Boston's  first  lady  of  radio  and  TV, 
Louise  Woolley  Morgan  '23,  also  enter- 
tained in  honor  of  her  classmate.  This 
was  Pinkie's  first  Boston  visit  since  her 
graduation;  her  many  friends  were  so  de- 
lighted to  see  her  and  catch  up  on  the 
news  of  her  family.  Of  particular  interest 
was  her  first-hand  report  of  the  successful 
career  of  her  daughter,  Amanda  Blake, 
the  charming  "Kitty"  of  the  "Gunsmoke" 
series. 

Reunion  is  really  an  exciting  expe- 
rience. One  is  apt  to  worry  for  fear  the 
intervening  years  have  wrought  so  many 
changes  in  appearance  that  one  is  not 
recognizable  —  but  there's  really  no  need 
to  be  concerned.  Despite  the  fact  that 
figures  have  thickened  a  bit,  hair  turned 
gray  or  white,  and  wrinkles  have  etched 
their  lines  on  the  once  smooth,  firm  flesh 
of  forty  years  ago,  the  warm  smiles  and 
voices  are  the  same,  the  interest  in  each 
other's  welfare  remains,  and  the  pleasure 
of  once  again  being  reunited,  "bound 
firm  by  a  bond  unbroken,"  brings  a  sparkle 
to  the  eye  and  a  lift  to  the  heart  that 
only  a  Lasell  girl  can  know.  Do  plan  to 
join  us  in  '69  !

1925 

Elaine  Elizabeth  Perry,  daughter  of 
Elizabeth  Irish  x-'25,  was  married  to 
Charles  Thompson  Davis,  Jr.  on  October 
16,  1964  in  Pasadena,  California. 

Lucile  Hopkins  Willenbrok  has  moved 
from  Scarsdale,  New  York,  to  Bliss  Road, 
New  Preston,  Connecticut. 


1927 

Dorothy  Quimby  Faure  reports  fre- 
quent visits  with  Mary  Louise  Stanton 
Neal,  who  also  lives  in  Tucson. 

And  Evelyn  Suor  Butterworth  writes: 
"On  our  way  to  Hawaii  in  June  to  attend 
the  annual  meeting  of  the  American  Der- 
matological  Association,  my  husband  and 
I  flew  Pan  Am  from  Seattle.  After  chat- 
ting a  few  minutes  with  one  of  the 
stewardesses,  we  found  her  to  be  Bethany 
Brown,  Class  of  1962.  It  was  most  inter- 
esting to  be  brought  up-to-date  with  La- 
sell  by  so  recent  a  graduate." 

1928 

The  Class  of  1928  extends  sincere  sympa- 
thy to  Barbara  Lawson,  whose  mother 
passed  away  in  May  1964  at  Newport, 
Vermont. 

1929 

Each  Lasell  Reunion  is  better  than 
the  last  for  the  Class  of  '29,  but  there  is 
no  doubt  that  the  35th  was  the  most 
special  of  all.  Perhaps  the  largest  con- 
tributing factor  was  that  Alumnae  Week- 
end is  now  a  separate  and  important  fea- 
ture in  the  college  schedule.  Placing  it  a 
week  after  graduation,  giving  the  "old 
girls"  complete  freedom  of  the  campus 
and  all  its  facilities,  has  many  advantages. 
And  for  our  class,  it  is  significant  that 
we  were  among  the  first  groups  for  whom 
the  new  plan  was  tried. 

Resident  returning  alumnae  were  housed 
at  Woodland.  Do  not  think  that  the 
name  applies  to  the  dormitory  we  knew 
as  such  while  students.  This  Woodland 
is  new  and  modern.  It  is  located  next 
door  to  Gardner,  which  is  still  across  the 
street.  Directly  across  Woodland  Road 
is  the  stately  mansion  now  occupied  by 
the  President  and  his  family.  The  second 
floor  of  Woodland  was  our  headquarters. 
We  needed  less  than  half,  it's  true,  but  it 
was  all  ours.  We  had  the  use  of  the  large 
common  room,  complete  with  piano,  and 
adjoining  kitchenette,  complete  with  re- 
frigerator. Zip,  and  others,  made  good 
use  of  the  piano  and  Margaret  Wethern 
stocked  the  refrigerator.  All  fifteen  resi- 
dent '29ers  contributed  photographs,  an- 
nuals, and  playing  cards.  The  area  girls 
brought  letters  from  those  of  you  who 
could  not  be  there  in  person.  Occupy- 
ing the  rooms  were:  Dot  Cole  MacRae, 
Connie  Chase  Marchant,  Julie  Tiffany 
Brand,  Phyllis  Beck  Van  de  Mark,  Alice 
Pratt  Brown,  Emily  Crump  Ramstetter, 
Betty  Wells  Tuttle,  Rene  Murray  Petta- 
piece,    Annette    Harvey    Jensen,    Marjorie

Ellen  Zacharias  Cullen,  Maude  Williams 
Gittleson,  Myra  Page  Haven,  and  Janet 
Kaufman   Robinson. 

On  Friday  evening,  a  buffet  supper 
was  served  at  Winslow  Hall.  Many  of  the 
area  girls  joined  us,  and  at  this  time 
arrangements  were  made  for  the  luncheon 
on  Saturday.  Ronnie  Cornell  Cannon  and 
her  house  guest,  Ellie  Humphrey,  were 
present  as  well  as  Zip  Daggett  Wilson, 
Harriet  Hewins  Sanderson,  Preble  Borden 
Gruchy,  Marion  Kingdon  Farnum,  Mar- 
garet Wethern  and  Dorothy  Hayward 
Sutherland. 

Breakfasts  were  served,  cafeteria  style, 
in  the  Woodland  dining  room,  and  there 
was  a  coffee-reception  at  Winslow  Hall 
later  in  the  morning.  Here  we  had  the 
privilege  of  meeting  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Tewks- 
bury  and  other  faculty  members. 

Dot  Hayward  Sutherland  was  hostess 
for  the  class  luncheon  at  her  home  in 
Needham.  With  Ronnie,  Zip,  Harry,  Mari- 
on, and  Verta  McLeod  Haines  con- 
tributing and  helping,  Dot  and  her  hus- 
band provided  gracious  and  lovely  hospi- 
tality. Dot's  daughter,  Marcia,  had  been 
married  only  the  week  previous  so  we 
were  privileged  to  see  the  beautiful  wed- 
ding gifts  still  on  display.  The  day  was  a 
rainy  one,  but  the  house  was  adequate  so 
that  only  the  committee  was  disappointed 
that  we  could  not  take  our  lunches  out- 
side. Others  of  the  class  who  appeared 
for  this  occasion  were  Doris  Gardner 
Bigelow  with  her  daughter,  Donna,  Mar- 
garet Allen,  Leora  Adams  Neal,  and  Kay 
Braithwaite  Woodworth. 

After  luncheon,  we  held  a  brief  business 
meeting.  Alice  Pratt  Brown  read  a  poem 
about  ourselves: 


It  fills  me  with  a  great  dismay 
To  see  my  friends  get  old  and  grey, 
When  in  the  glass  I  look  and  see 
How  very  young  7  look  —  to  me. 
We  will  hear  from  Alice  from  time  to 
time   as   she   has   agreed   to   be    our   Class 
Agent.     This    is    the    liaison    position    be- 
tween   us    and    the    Alumnae    Association, 
concerned     partly     with    thanking     us    for 
our    generous     support     of     the     Building 
Fund.    You   may   have   noticed    the   cover- 
girl   candid  shot  on  a  recent  issue  of  the 
Leaves. 

Another  innovation  is  the  selection  of 
a  five-year  Class  Secretary  to  function  be- 
tween reunion  years.  Our  new  Secretary 
is  Rosamond  Cornell  Cannon  (Mrs.  Madi- 
son M.),  25  Sterling  Road,  Wellesley, 
Mass.  She  continues  to  have  a  vital  inter- 
est in  us  and  Lasell  and  is  willing  to 
keep  us  informed. 

Additional  Reunion  "fliers"  might  have 
been  mailed  had  the  committee  received 
more  funds.  All  present  contributed  $1.00 
each  but  even  that  amount  will  not  go 
very  far  toward  future  correspondence. 
Marion  Kingdon  Farnum  introduced  a 
song  which  we  attempted  at  the  Alumnae 
dinner.  The  tune:  "I  Had  a  Dream, 
Dear."   Try  it. 

Hail,  Twenty-niners 

Hail,  dear  Lasell ! 

Thirty-five  years  have  gone. 

And  we  are  here  to  tell 

Of  friendships  through  decades. 

And  memories  that  shine. 

Hail,  Alma  Mater ! 

Hail,  Twenty-nine. 
By  the  time  we  had  practised  the  song, 
out  came  the  sun  and  Alice  took  the  one 
and  only  picture  of  our  group.  Imagine 
our  delight  when  we  saw  that  Dot's  house 
number  is  '29'  and  it  hangs  above  us  as 
if  planned. 

Frankie  Brown  Winthrop  joined  us 
briefly  for  the  Alumnae  Dinner  at  Wood- 
land.

Mrs.  William   O.   DeHart 

(daughter   of   Dorothy   Hayward 

Sutherland) 

At  recognitions  time,  the  Class  of  '29 
was  very  much  in  the  limelight.  Ours  was 
one  of  the  larger  groups,  had  many  from 
a  distance,  a  member  present  whose  moth- 
er was  born  at  Lasell,  Betty  Wells  Tuttle, 
a  member  who  had  a  sister  in  another 
reunioning  class.  The  publicity  was  en- 
hanced by  the  Alumnae  President  who 
flattered  us  nicely. 

Dr.  Tewksbury  provided  everyone  pres- 
ent with  a  map  of  the  campus  as  it  is 
now,  showing  projected  plans  for  the 
next  ten  years.  These  call  for  facilities 
to  accommodate  a  student  body  of  about 
1200.  The  plans  call  for  dormitory  com- 
plexes at  both  Woodland  (former)  and 
Bragdon  ends  of  the  campus,  with  a  stu- 
dent center  between.  Part  of  the  project 
will  be  to  move  both  Gardner  and  Car- 
penter across  Woodland  Road  and  con- 
tinue to  use  them. 

In  conclusion,  Dr.  Tewksbury  com- 
mented on  the  obvious;  that  all  this  will 
cost  a  great  deal  of  money.  That  was 
when  the  Class  of  '29  offered  to  sing  our 
song!  With  Zip  at  the  piano,  the  natural 
result  was  singing  by  the  entire  alumnae 
assembled.     It    is    possible    that    the    New 


Woodland  rafters  had  not  echoed  to  such 
stirring    notes    in    all    its    short    existence. 

After  breakfast  on  Sunday  morning, 
the  Reunion  Weekend  was  officially  ended. 
There  was  sunshine,  some  pictures  snapped, 
fond  goodbyes,  and  general  dispersing.  For 
the  half-dozen  of  us  left,  there  was  a 
personally  conducted  walking  tour  of  the 
campus  to  The  Castle,  high  on  the  hill, 
known  as  Farrington,  through  Bragdon, 
which  is  rearranged  and  renovated  inside, 
to  The  Esker,  newly  acquired  property 
which  is  being  levelled  for  a  future  ath- 
letic field.  Then  into  Converse,  an  archi- 
tectural gem  of  a  recently  acquired  senior 
house  on  Woodland  Road  near  Clark,  Ord- 
way,  another  new  senior  house  and  the 
only  bit  of  Williamsburg  in  Auburndale, 
and  finally  to  Priscilla  Alden  Wolfe  Sec- 
retarial Building.  This  last  is  precisely 
what  it  should  be,  both  for  whom  it  com- 
memorates, and  its  function.  Perfect  in 
line,  austere  in  simplicity,  it  speaks  of 
effective  training  for  modern  business 
girls. 

So  you  see,  Lasell  has  a  future  as  well 
as  a  past.  We  are  a  part  of  each.  It  was 
good  to  go  back  and  evaluate  both.  Fur- 
thermore, it  is  quite  true  that  classmates 
of  1929  become  more  special  with  each 
reunion.

writing  to  urge  each  of  you  to  please 
send  any  news  items  about  yourselves 
and  families  plus  all  sorts  of  pictures  or

Other  News: 

Julia  Clausen  Bowman  says  it  is  simply 
too  far  to  come  from  Portland,  Oregon, 
this    year    with    responsibilities    at    home. 

Frances  Boothby  Sylvester  is  busy  with 
her  hobby  of  tray  painting  and  stencill- 
ing. She  also  enjoys  two-piano  playing 
with  a  Polish  friend,  who  arrived  in  this 
country  five  years  ago. 

Our  sympathy  and  thoughts  were  with 
Dorothea  Clark  Johnson  who  was  unable 
to  be  with  us  because  of  the  illness  of  her 
father. 

Mary  Barton  Libby  is  employed  as  a 
secretary  in  the  Connecticut  school  sys- 
tem. She  has  a  son,  Peter,  who  attended 
Rhode  Island  School  of  Design,  and  a 
teen-age  daughter,  Dee. 

Margaret  Contrell  White  is  working  at 
Lord   &  Taylor's,   New  York. 

From  Paris,  Maine,  Ruth  Ford  Higgins 
sends    her    love    and    best    wishes    to    all. 

Frances  Mann  Knight  tells  us  that  her 
son,  Dick,  graduated  from  the  University 
of  Maine,  is  married,  and  has  a  son. 

From  her  letter,  we  learn  that  Jean 
Smith  Orne  is  travelling  back  and  forth 
between  Maine,  where  her  parents  still 
live,  to  New  Jersey  where  her  two  chil- 
dren and  six  grandchildren  reside. 

Jane  Pankhurst  Pfeffer  was  remarried 
in    1951    and    has    a    23-year-old    stepson, 


Au   Revoir  'til   1969 

who     is     studying     architecture     at     Tech. 

Esther  Sunderland  House  is  living  in 
Randolph,  Mass.,  and  is  the  busy  mother 
of  six. 

Constance  Chalmers  Harlow  and  her 
daughter  were  taking  painting  and  weav- 
ing lessons  this  past  summer  at  Deer 
Isle,  Maine. 

To  Dorothy  Cole  MacRae,  may  I  say 
"Thank  you  for  your  nice  letter  and  I 
shall  take  this  way  of  extending  your 
appreciation  to  all  on  the  hospitality 
committee  for  our  35th  reunion." 

Barbara  Wilson  married  Mr.  William 
R.  Steele  Jr.,  husband  of  the  late  Mary 
Korper  Steele.  Barbara  says  being  a 
"mother"  is  quite  a  new  experience  for 
her    and    there's    never    a    dull    moment. 

Emily  Crump  Ramstetter  writes:  "On 
August  14,  1964,  an  enthusiastic  half- 
dozen  Lasell  Alumnae  in  Richmond,  Vir- 
ginia, met  for  luncheon.  It  is,  perhaps, 
the  only  really  successful  effort  that  has 
been  made  toward  such  a  gathering,  but 
promises  to  be  just  the  first.  Classes  repre- 
sented ranged  from  1929  to  1950  with 
hardly  anyone  having  ever  known  any  of 
the  others.  Among  us  we  had  lived  here 
for  periods  varying  from  lifetime  to  al- 
most a  year.  It  was  a  surprisingly  con- 
genial group,  all  having  more  to  talk 
about  to  each  other  than  there  was  time 
to  do  it  in.  We  will  meet  again  on  October 
9th  for  lunch  and  thereafter  every  three 
months,  with  no  formal  plans  beyond 
that.  Those  present  were:  Emily  Crump 
Ramstetter  '29,  Betty  Doe  Peaslee  x-'37, 
Virginia  Wright  Church  '37,  Louise  Pool 
Langley  '46,  Ruth  Small  Stott  '47,  and 
Helen  Kovalinas  Ierardi  '50." 

Harriet  Holt  Buker  writes  to  Miss 
Beede:  "When  you  saw  the  return  address 
you  probably  guessed  that  I  need  more 
transcripts.  This  time,  please  send  one 
to  Dr.  Bernhard  Hillila,  Dean  of  Califor- 
nia    Lutheran     College,     Thousand     Oaks,

California.  They  are  considering  me  for 
a  position  and  I  hope  it  will  materialize. 
Love  my  present  work  but  the  challenge 
of  older  students  is  luring  me  away  from 
high  school.  I  am  in  a  school  of  3000  and 
I  have  267  choir  students  per  day. 

"Enjoy  the  LEAVES  and  am  increasing- 
ly proud  of  my  first  Alma  Mater.  We 
hope  to  come  East  in  1966  and  will  visit 
you  then." 

The  Class  extends  sympathy  to  Rosa- 
mond Cornell  Cannon,  whose  mother, 
Mrs.  Lester  S.  Cornell,  passed  away  in 
July  1964. 


In  Memoriam:  Marjorie  Knowles  Latessa 
Marjorie  Knowles  Latessa  died  at  Bos- 
ton City  Hospital  on  July  31,  1964  after 
an  illness  of  several  weeks.  Marjorie  had 
held  the  position  of  Office  Manager  for 
Station  WNBH,  New  Bedford,  since  1948. 
Survivors  include  her  husband,  a  daugh- 
ter, a  son,  and  six  grandchildren. 

1930 

Dorothy  Inett  Taylor  represented  the 
College  at  the  Centennial  Convocation 
commemorating  the  founding  of  Worces- 
ter Polytechnic  Institute  on  Friday,  Octo- 
ber 9,  1964. 

1931 

Betty  Condit  Kessel  and  family  have 
moved  to  their  new  address  at  785  Sumac 
Lane,  Winnetka,  Illinois. 

Karin   Eliasson   Monroe   writes   that   her 


daughter  Ann  was  married  on  July  18, 
1964  and  Karin  and  the  family  moved  to 
Coronado,  California,  in  August. 

1932 

The  Class  extends  sincere  sympathy  to 
Elizabeth  Page  Sealey,  whose  father,  Mr. 
Blin  W.  Page,  died  on  June  27,  1964.  A 
Maine  State  Senator  for  three  terms,  Mr. 
Page  had  been  President  of  the  Skowhegan 
Savings  Bank  since  1918.  He  was  a  direc- 
tor of  the  Maine  Central  Railroad  and  a 
past  president  of  the  Maine  Automobile 
Association  and  the  Maine  Publicity  Bu- 
reau. Mr.  Page  is  survived  by  his  widow, 
two  daughters  and  six  grandchildren. 

Another  daughter,  the  late  Margaret 
Page  Lord,  was  a  member  of  The  Class 
of  1936. 

Word  has  been  received  of  the  passing 
of  Mrs.  George  Whitney,  mother  of  the 
late  Ethlyn  Whitney  Lenzi,  on  October 
29,  1964  in  Fort  Lauderdale,  Florida. 
We  extend  sincere  sympathy  to  Mr.  Whit- 
ney and  to  the  members  of  Babe's  family. 

1933 

Very  special  thanks  to  Virginia  Ogden 
Hayes  who  took  time  out  to  "spark  a  bit 
of  interest"  within  the  Class.  Her  one-gal 
campaign  for  funds  proved  profitable, 
and  may  we  say  Thank  You  again  to  those 
who  responded. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Robert  Alan  Chesebro 
announce  the  marriage  of  their  daughter, 
Nancy  to  Mr.  Alan  Russell  York  on  Satur- 
day, June  20,  1964  in  Newton  Highlands. 
Mrs.  Chesebro  is  the  former  Shirley 
Gould. 

1934 
30th  REUNION 

There  were  but  few  delegates  from 
the  Class  of  1934  on  hand  to  celebrate  the 
30th  Reunion  —  but  those  who  came  had 
a  tvonderful  time.  June  weddings  and 
numerous  family  commitments  were  the 
cause  of  the  many  "regrets." 

Celia  Kinsley  Percival  arrived  by  plane 
from  Dayton,  Ohio.  She  looked  "just  the 
same"  —  has  three  lovely  children  —  we 
reminisced  about  the  busy  weeks  we  spent 
as  waitresses  at  Lasell's  Summer  Music 
School  Session. 

On  Saturday,  Marjorie  Jones  Hopkins 
drove  from  Connecticut  and  Bettina  Pot- 
ter Janse  came  over  from  Weston.  Midge 
has  three  children  —  two  girls  and  a  boy; 
Betty  is  a  proud  grandmother.  The  morn- 
ing rain  did  not  dampen  our  spirits  —  we 
enjoyed  letters  from  absent  classmates  and 
shared  former  Reunion  pictures. 

Helen  Pierce  Watkins,  husband  and 
three  children  were  houseguests  of  Phyllis 
Atkinson  Stone.  Phyl  returned  from  her 
husband's     reunion     at     Bowdoin     just     in

time  to  join  us  at  Alumnae  Dinner.  (She 
and  I  are  working  on  the  Lasell  Alumnae 
Bazaar  —  to  be  held  on  campus  on  No- 
vember 17th.)  We  watched  all  day  for 
Edith  Downey  and  Ada  May  Bartlett  De- 
gree to  arrive  from  Connecticut  —  and, 
believe  me,  gals  —  we  do  understand  the 
complexities  of  the  Toll  Road  and  exits 
from  same. 

Gwen  Murray  Larsen,  vacationing  in 
Florida,  was  assured  of  a  firsthand  and 
immediate  report  of  Lasell's  Reunion 
Weekend.  Her  two  sisters  were  among 
the  Reunioners:  Irene  Murray  Pettapiece 
'29    and    Marguerite    Murray    Keene    '24. 

June  13  was  graduation  day  at  St.  Mar- 
garet's School  in  Waterbury,  Conn.  Ma- 
belle  Hickcox  Camp's  daughter  was  among 
those  who  received  diplomas.  Mabelle 
has  two  part-time  jobs  in  addition  to  her 
work  with  Red  Cross,  church  and  civic 
organizations.  She  is  also  a  member  of 
the  Student  Loan  Committee  of  the  Water- 
town  Foundation. 

A  long  letter  from  Isabel  LaCosse  Fior 
contained  an  account  of  her  interesting 
work  as  a  member  of  the  staff  of  Time 
Magazine.  Isabel's  new  address  is  Apt. 
8-D,  Parker  Gramercy  North,  10  West 
15th  Street,  New  York. 

From  California  came  original  cards  — 
with  family  pictures  —  from  Bettina  Cook 
Kallbach.  Betty  has  three  children:  Dave, 
a  graduate  of  the  University  of  California, 
is  now  attending  art  school;  Jean,  a  soph- 
omore at  Berkeley;  Paul,  a  high  school 
junior. 

Our  Class  is  prominently  represented  in 
the  Buffalo  area:  Annabeth  Williams  Ber-

From  a  recent  letter:  from  Sylvia  Pfeif-

let  you  all  know  about  what  has  happened 
in  the  exciting  life  of  one  Barbara  Morris 
Louria.  Actually  not  very  exciting  but 
here  goes:  Worked  for  McCall's,  Young 
and  Rubicam  Advertising  and,  finally,  be- 
fore retiring  after  the  arrival  of  our 
second  child,  was  doing  Dennison's  pub- 
licity. I  hope  to  matriculate  at  Sarah 
Lawrence  next  September  and  return  to 
the  business  world  when  my  brood  is  in

"We've  been  in  the  Washington  area 
since  July  preparing  ourselves  for  another 
overseas  assignment.  Last  summer  was 
spent  studying  French,  as  Bob  had  orders 
to  Leopoldville,  Republic  of  the  Congo. 
These  were  subsequently  changed  to  Al- 
giers, Algeria  and,  finally,  to  Rio  de  Janei- 
ro. Needless  to  say,  we  are  delighted 
about  our  final  assignment  and  sail  from 
New  York  on  the  SS  Brazil  on  April  25. 
We  have  been  trying  to  learn  Portuguese 
these  past  few  months  and  hope  we'll  be 
able  to  make  ourselves  understood.  Bob 
will  be  Assistant  Army  Attache  and  we 
can  hardly  wait  to  get  settled  in  beautiful 
Rio.  Our  daughter,  Kristin,  will  probably 
do  a  lot  better  in  the  language  after  expo- 
sure to  Brazilian  playmates.

while  in  Los  Angeles  and  especially  enjoyed

to  South  America,  look  us  up  in  Rio.

study  at  the  State  University  College  in 
Potsdam,  New  York,  and  at  St.  Lawrence 
University,  Canton,  New  York. 

Following  the  re-enforcement  learning 
principles  developed  by  psychologist  Bur- 
ns Skinner,  the  program  text  uses  small 
segments  of  information,  repeats  them  in 
various  ways  and  questions  the  student 
on  the  material  until  the  correct  response 
is  elicited. 

The  student  checks  his  reply  with  the

page  to  note  his  progress  and  repeat  the 
assignment  if  necessary.  The  program, 
which  can  be  put  into  booklet  form  or 
on  so-called  teaching  machines,  is  a  par- 
ticularly helpful  teaching  device  where

students  capable  of  higher  level  work 
can  advance  at  their  own  speed  without 
being  held  back  by  the  pace  of  average 
students.  Slower  learners  can  receive  spe-

was  fortunate  to  find  an  interesting  job 
with  a  travel  agency.  I  worked  for  Amer- 
ican Airlines  for  a  year  and  a  half  at 
Kennedy  Airport  in  New  York  and  that 
was  very  enjoyable.  When  the  World's  Fair 
approached  I  'skipped  town.' 

"Phoenix  is  the  greatest  place  in  the 
world  as  far  as  I  am  concerned.  Have 
always  loved  the  weather  here  and  find 
people  just  as  friendly  as  can  be  and  the 
pace  of  living  is  never  rushed  or  hurried. 
It  is  just  ideal.  I  have  been  here  seven 
months  and  it  has  rained  but  four  times 
—  two  of  the  storms  occurred  during 
the  night.  Needless  to  say,  I  am  quite  ac- 
tive in  the  'Goldwater  for  President' 
movement  and  have  spent  much  of  my 
free  time  working  toward  the  inevitable 
goal. 


Joey  and    Robbie  Smith 
(Florence   DeLuca  '61) 


"The  social  life  here  is  quite  different 
from  that  in  the  East.  There  is  not  too 
much  formality  —  one  can  really  relax 
when  the  time  comes  to  relax.  Desert 
parties  are  very  popular;  they  are  similar 
to  our  beach  parties  —  they  are  held 
in  the  desert,  and  instead  of  driving,  one 
arrives  on  horseback.  Football  games  are 
held  in  the  evening,  never  in  the  afternoon 
since  the  weather   is   so   warm. 

"My  parents  are  still  living  in  Scottsdale 
and  I  have  an  apartment  in  Phoenix.  It  is 
very  inexpensive  compared  to  living  in 
New  York.  One  does  not  need  a  coat  or 
boots  or  any  of  the  winter  apparel  that 
is  so  necessary  in  the  East.  On  a  cool 
night  a  sweater  is  sufficiently  warm. 

"Have  enjoyed  a  number  of  'weekend 
trip-etts,'  as  I  call  them.  One  to  the  Grand 
Canyon  was  just  beautiful.  I  was  there 
in  the  spring  and  the  snow  was  still  melt- 
ing on  the  higher  elevations.  The  colors 
and  formations  of  the  canyon  are  really 
unbelievable.  Even  color  pictures  cannot 
capture  their  beauty. 

"Of  course,  a  must  for  a  weekend  is 
one  spent  in  Las  Vegas.  People  from  this 
part  of  the  country  go  there  just  as  people 
from  the  Boston  area  go  to  the  Cape  and 
New  Yorkers  migrate  to  Atlantic  City  for 
a  weekend  away.    It  is  a  five-six  hour  drive,

or  a  45-minute  plane  ride.  The  shows  are 
great  and  if  you  are  lucky  you  can  pay 
for  the  trip  with  a  little  game  of  'Black 
Jack.' 

"Also  spent  some  time  in  Mazatlan, 
Mexico,  which  I  think  has  one  of  the 
most  beautiful  beaches  in  the  world.  The 
hotel  opened  right  on  to  the  sand  and 
the  weather  was  just  grand.  I  was  there 
in  July.  There  is  a  glass  dance  floor  and 
it  has  a  beautiful  stream  with  wild  plants 
and  flowers  under  it.  A  truly  unforget- 
table sight. 

"This  weekend  I  am  planning  a  trip 
to  Oak  Creek  Canyon.  It  is  about  four 
hours  from  here  and  my  main  reason  for 
the  visit  is  to  see  'fall'  as  I  remember  it 
.  .  .  Beautiful  foliage  and  a  bit  of  brisk 
autumn  air.  Fall  in  Phoenix  means  that 
the  men  begin  to  wear  jackets  again;  the 
girls  wear  dark  cottons;  the  temperature 
remains     90-100;     the     humidity     10-15%. 

"I  am  already  looking  forward  to  the 
Fifth  Reunion  of  the  Class  of  1962.  My 
every  good  wish  for  Lasell  and  best  re- 
gards."

Through  the  kindness  of  Mrs.  Mildred  Bailey,  a  member  of  the  Col- 
lege staff,  ive  are  -pleased  to  share  portions'  of  the  diary  of  the  late  Miss 
Esther  Davis  '94-'95  of  Oneida,  New  York.  A  graduate  of  Cornell  Uni- 
versity, Miss  Davis  ivas  for  many  years  a  librarian  ivith  the  New  York 
State  Educational  System.  Mrs.  Bailey  is  a  half-sister  of  Miss  Davis,  who 
died  in  December  1963. 

.   .   .  Ed. 

It  was  Monday  morning,  September  the  17th,  that  I  left  fair  Cazenovia  for 
Lasell  Seminary.  My  orders  were  carried  out,  no  tears  were  shed,  but  'twas  hard 
work  to  squeeze  them  back  as  I  bade  Aunt  Nell  goodbye.  Lena,  Helen  and  the 
doctor  escorted  me  to  the  station,  so  had  little  time  to  get  homesick  while  waiting 
for  the  train  from  Syracuse.  The  train  was  so  crowded  with  the  Republicans  on  their 
way  to  the  Saratoga  convention  that  we  could  not  get  seats  in  the  drawing  car  di- 
rectly. The  trip  from  Albany  was  so  delightful  —  the  hills  were  lovely,  the  leaves 
just  beginning  to   turn. 

February  5,  1895:  Saturday  night  we  went  to  the  Symphony  and  heard  the 
great  Melba  sing.  She  wore  heliotrope  satin  with  pearl  trimming.  She  is  truly  won- 
derful. She  was  called  back  six  times  the  first  time,  and  after  her  second  group 
of  songs,  nine  times.  The  people  cheered !   and  cheered ! 

February  7,  1895:  Lecture  on  "Hygiene  of  the  Feet"  tonite.  The  speaker  ex- 
plained how  so  many  diseases  are  caused  by  wearing  improper  shoes,  high  heels, 
etc.  Showed  the  perfect  foot  and  the  artistic  shoe  of  the  future. 

Monday,  February  11,  1895:  Cleaned  room  with  carpet  sweeper.  Jennie  gave 
me  a  Japanese  incense  stick  to  burn  in  my  room.  Smells  doozy!  I  am  simply  scared 
green  about  my  lessons  for  tomorrow.   It  will  be  flunko  —  fiunkere  —  flui. 


LASELL  LEAVES  3 

February  14,  1895 :  All  the  girls  dressed  up  for  dinner.  Mr.  Spalding  gave  a 
lecture  in  the  gym  on  Browning's  poems  of  music,  and  read  a  letter  which  Mr. 
Browning  had  written  to  him. 

February  17,  1895:  86  of  us  went  to  hear  Booth  in  the  p.m.  The  Salvation 
meeting  was  held  in  Mechanics  Hall.  Such  crowds  at  the  main  entrance  —  we  were 
glad  to  use  the  side  entrance.  About  200  of  the  Salvation  Army  men  and  women 
sat  in  front  on  the  platform.  They  had  a  regular  meeting,  sang,  prayed,  clapped 
hands,  etc  General  Booth  is  over  from  England  and  with  his  son  is  commander 
of  all  the  American  Salvation  Troops.  Delegates  from  all  over  the  U.S.  are  at- 
tending the  convention  in  Boston.  The  old  General  is  76  years  old  and  is  very 
enthusiastic  over  the  work.  He  gave  a  very  impressive  address;  in  spite  of  his 
cracked  voice,  held  the  attention  of  over  2000  people.  It  (the  Army)  was  formed 
by  General  Booth  in  London  26  years  ago,  has  27  newspapers  in  15  different  lan- 
guages; one  million  copies  are  sold  daily,  no  advertisements.  It  is  doing  a  vast 
amount  of  good  with  certain  classes.  It  is  a  thing  to  be  sneered  at  no  longer.  Prof. 
Bragdon  took  us  to  the  station  through  all  the  back  streets.  Great  time.  Girls  flirted 
coming  back. 

February  20,  1895:  A  lecture  on  "Memory"  by  Prof.  Yule,  a  Scotsman.  He 
claims  if  a  thing  is'  once  impressed  on  the  memory  it  can  never  be  forgotten  by  his 
theory.  The  mind  should  first  be  in  proper  attitude  and  then  in  an  order  of  arrange- 
ment. 

February  23,  1895:  The  day  of  the  Dickens  and  Shakespeare  Masquerade  is 
here.  I  went  as  Hamlet.  Wore  Mae's  black  tights,  low  shoes  with  silver 
buckles,  my  gym  waist,  six  yards  of  black  cheesecloth  tied  around  my  waist  and  at 
one  side  wore  Mr.  Butler's  big  sword.  Grandma's  shawl  was  just  the  thing  for  my 
mantle,  hair  down  and  the  Dr.'s  skull  cap.  The  orchestra  played  a  march  and  we 
all  paraded  around  the  gym.  After  about  half  an  hour  we  unmasked  and  it  was 
great  fun,  talking  with  the  many  great  literary  characters.  I  had  lots  of  compliments 
and  the  girls  said  I  ought  to  have  had  first  prize.  I  received  honorable  mention. 
Elegant  time!!!! 

February  15,  1895:  Half  the  school  late  to  breakfast.  Such  fun  to  see  the 
Madam  send  them  back  to  get  their  five  cents.  Lessons  went  swimmingly. 

March  1,  1895 :  Emerson  gave  a  humorous  reading  in  the  gym  for  the  benefit  of 
the  Canoe  Club.  His  imitations  of  a  bee  in  a  room  and  sawing  wood  were  very 
good.  I  wish  every  day  I  had  spent  $3.00  for  the  Memory  course  —  no  one  needs 
memory  training  more  than   I. 

March  5,  1895:  My  English  paper  did  not  go  in.  Hate  so  to  get  behind  about 
handing  in  lessons.  Makes  the  whole  week  drag.  Walked  with  Mattie  Baker, 
and  talked  about  her  home  in  Jamaica. 

March  6,  1895:  Practiced  by  recitation  for  the  evening's  exhibition.  At  7.30 
Mr.  Bragdon  took  us  to  Newton  Highlands.  A  male  quartette  from  Boston  sang 
several  selections.  I  gave  "Old  Sweetheart"  and  "The  Ballad  of  Crossing  the 
Brook."  Did  not  make  a  break  and  was  not  scared.  Blessed  be  Miss  Caul  for  she 
has  taken  all  the  lone-some  feeling  out  of  my  stomach  which  I  always  used  to  have 
before  reciting  in  public. 

March  7,  1895:  Mr.  Butler  gave  12  of  us  a  carving  lesson.  He  carved  a  goose 
—  did  it  beautifully.   In  eight  aits  had  the  meat  all  off  the  bones. 

March  10,  1895 :  Had  until  ten  o'clock  tonite.  What  for?  To  see  the  eclipse  of 
the  moon. 

March  11,  1895:  Swept  the  room.  Looks  lovely  ■ —  so  clean  again.  Spent  the 
remainder  of  the  morning  in  mending.  This  afternoon,  made  out  my  accounts. 
Washed  my  hair  and  am  sitting  on  the  floor  by  the  steam  pipes,  now,  drying  it.

March  13,  1895:  At  ten  o'clock  this  morning  I  took  my  first  swimming  lesson. 
Had  a  school  suit.  After  Miss  Ransom  had  given  me  the  movements,  she  put  me 
into  the  harness  and  I  went  into  the  tank.  Half -hour  lesson.  Splendid  fun  and 
exercise. 

March  14,  1895:  Dreadfully  lame. 

March  21,  1895:  The  G.  A.  R.  reception  this  evening.  At  7.45  all  the  girls 
in  the  battalion  donned  their  uniforms  and  went  to  the  gym  to  await  the  arrival  of 
the  old  soldiers.  Some  of  the  G.  A.  R.  drilled  for  us,  and  some  made  doozie 
speeches.   There  were  about  90  of  the  G.  A.  R.  Newton  Post  present. 

March  23,  1895:  Had  cakes  in  cooking  lesson  —  this  is  our  last  real  lesson, 
next  week  comes  Marketing.  Donned  a  life  preserver  for  the  first  time  in  swimming 
today. 

April  10,  1895:  Left  early  for  Boston.  Had  a  great  time  finding  hats  which 
pleased  us.  Mae  found  hers  at  the  Bon  Ton  and  I  got  mine  at  the  Boquette;  paid 
$6.00.  All  of  us  were  tired  and  cross  at  lunch.  We  all  met  at  the  Adams  House 
at  3.30.  Took  a  car  from  Cambridge  —  dreadfully  crowded.  We  first  went  into 
the  gym  and  saw  some  of  the  fellows  taking  their  gym  exercise;  then  went  into  the 
Museum  and  saw  the  glass  flowers.  They  are  beautiful;  no  need  to  strain  eyes 
over  a  magnifying  glass  in  studying  Botany  at  Harvard.  Went  to  Memorial  and  saw 
the  "animals  feed."  Think  of  seeing  900  men  eat! 

Easter  Sunday  (April  13,  1895):  A  pouring  rain,  no  hats  or  church  today. 

Monday,  April  14,  1895  (in  Attleboro)  :  This  day  has  truly  been  a  "brown" 
one  in  more  senses  than  one.  We  took  the  10.30  train  for  Providence,  only  12 
miles  from  Attleboro.  After  doing  a  little  shopping  and  seeing  a  bit  of  the  city,  we 
were  so  tired  that  we  went  to  the  Hotel  Narragansett  to  rest.  Decided  to  have  some 
lunch,  found  a  porter,  tipped  him  and  told  him  to  take  us  to  the  cafe.  From  the  way 
some  of  the  men  looked  at  us,  we  concluded  we  must  have  gotten  into  the  men's 
cafe  and  afterwards  Mr.  Battey  said  we  had.  As  we  were  nearly  through  before 
we  discovered  it,  it  did  not  spoil  our  luncheon.  Don't  care  anyway  for  we  behaved 
ourselves.  Mr.  Fred  Marvel,  Arthur  and  Fred  Briggs  and  Morris  Cook  had  the 
honor  of  showing  Brown  to  us.  The  college  is  on  a  high  hill,  nice  location.  Saw 
the  gym,  library,  museum  and  chapel.  The  quadrangle  is  much  like  Harvard.  The 
Brown  fellows  hate  Harvard;  it  was  fun  to  get  them  on  a  string. 

April  15,  1895:  Four  tired  girls  reached  Lasell  and  will  try  to  rest  up  for  to- 
morrow.   Unpacked  and  told  the  girls  about  our  vacation.    All  are  quite  envious. 

Friday,  April  18:  Seniors  appeared  this  morning  in  Chapel  in  their  Caps  and 
Gowns.    Look  very  classical. 

Monday,  April  2 1 :  Never  spent  such  a  day  and  hope  never  to  have  the  first 
part  repeated.  Miss  Carpenter  calmly  announced  in  Chapel  this  morning  that  we 
would  all  have  to  stay  there  until  our  rooms  and  trunks  had  been  searched.  The 
S.  D.  Society  and  several  of  the  girls  have  lost  money.  This  was  the  only  way  of 
finding  the  thief.  Thought  I  should  fly  as  I  wanted  to  get  the  9.22  train  into  Boston 
to  meet  Uncle.  .  .  .  Reached  Boston  about  one  and  Uncle  and  I  went  to  Young's  for 
lunch.  He  gave  me  a  beautiful  necklace  of  cameos.  It  is  elegant.  (The  necklace  is 
one  of  Mrs.  Bailey's  most  prized  possessions.) 

Saturday,  April  27:  This  long  week  is  over  and  I  am  not  sorry;  it  has  been  an 
unusually  hard  one.  So  many  tests  have  been  sprung  on  us  and  such  lessons !  Mr. 
Bragdon  kept  us  in  Chapel  until  after  four  selling  the  contents  of  the  "Lost 
Drawer"  at  auction.  Money  goes  to  the  Home  for  Poor  Little  Wanderers.  Had 
my  measurements  taken  today,  weight  without  any  clothes !   109  lbs. 

Monday,  April  29:  Mr.  Rich  invited  about  a  dozen  of  us  to  tour  the  Wal- 
tham  Watch  Factory.  Took  the  train  to  West  Newton  and  the  car  to  Waltham.   Our

eyes  were  opened  a  great  deal  and  we  can  always  better  appreciate  a  watch  after 
this  visit.  Waltham  and  Elgin  watches  are  the  standard.  The  building  has  four 
stories  and  28,000  men  and  women  are  here  employed.  13,000  watches  are  manu- 
factured daily.  Workrooms  are  large  and  well  lighted,  each  employee  has  his  or 
her  place  before  a  window  at  a  work  table. 

Saturday,  May  4,  1895:  Very  warm.  94°  in  the  shade.  Miss  Carpenter  made 
Jennie  write  out  the  lecture  on  Sanitation  because  she  worked  on  her  memory  pillow 
during  the  lecture.  The  Seniors  gave  a  circus  in  the  gym  last  Saturday.  It  was  great. 
To  hear  the  sounds  before  we  went  in  one  would  think  that  a  real  circus  was  there. 
Hurdy-gurdy,  clowns,  strong-man,  fat  woman  and  fat  baby,  wild  Indian,  long  and 
short  sisters,  four-legged  woman,  snake  charmer,  Caucasian  princess,  Court  of  Hor- 
rors, bengal  tigers  in  the  fire-place  (cloth  dogs) ,  a  soldier  from  the  War  —  black 
plaster  on  his  teeth,  appeared  as  if  he  had  none,  were  the  chief  attractions  of  the 
evening. 

Saturday,  May  10,  1895:  Miss  Allen  said  that  Wellesley  will  accept  Lasell  di- 
ploma or  certificate.   I  am  so  glad  for  I  guess  I  can  get  in  now  without  many  exams. 

Salem-Plymouth  trip:  I  cannot  attempt  to  describe  either  of  these  places,  but 
by  looking  at  my  memory  book  I  will  recall  these  delightful  excursions.  We  ate 
luncheon  at  Plymouth  —  saw  live  lobsters. 

Class  Night :  The  grand  night  for  all  Lasell !  Stay  up  until  eleven ! ! !  The 
Seniors,  in  cap  and  gown  and  with  much  dignity,  filed  into  the  dining  room  at 
eight  o'clock.  The  program  was  all  very  original.  After  the  exercises  were  over,  we 
all  went  on  the  lawn  to  see  the  burning  of  the  books  and  the  presentation  of  the 
lamp.    Then  we  strolled  among  the  trees,  under  the  electric  lights. 

June  12,  1895:  Farewell,  Dear  Lasell.  Goodbyes  are  nearly  over.  I  shall  go 
in  a  few  minutes.  Tonight  I  return  to  kith  and  kin.

FROM  THE  ALUMNAE  .  . 


1885-86 

In  Memoriam:  Miss  Elizabeth  Day  on 
January  8,  1965  in  Colchester,  Conn.,  at 
age  99.  The  town's  oldest  resident,  Miss 
Day   had    been    prominent   in    church    and 

community  activities. 


1901 

In  Memoriam:  Harriette  Ward  Walker 
on  January  1,  1965  in  Stamford,  Conn.  For 
ten  years,  until  her  retirement,  she  was 
organist  at  the  First  Congregational 
Church  of  Darien,  and  previously  had 
served  in  churches  in  New  York  and  New 
Haven.  Mrs.  Walker  is  survived  by  her 
husband,  two  daughters,  three  grandchil- 
dren and  two  great-grandchildren.  A 
daughter  is  Emeline  Walker  Fatherley  x-'33 
of  Darien. 


1902 

From  Bertha  White  Sprague  x-'02  in 
Bridgeport,  Conn.:  "The  Bulletins,  with 
news  of  the  Development  Program  at  the 
College,  read  like  a  fairy  tale  to  the  'Girls 
of  '02.'  While  vacationing  at  the  North- 
field  Inn  this  summer  I  met  a  classmate, 
Clara  McLean  Rowley,  whom  I  had  not  seen 
in  over  60  years.  It  was  thrilling  and  ex- 
citing to  talk  over  the  many  changes  at 
Lasell  and  to  have  news  of  many  Seminary 
friends." 

Georgie  Duncan  Seavey  writes:  "Since  we 
first  entered  Lasell  in  1899,  Bessie  Fuller 
Perry,  Bertha  Warren  ('99-1900)  and  I  have 
kept  in  close  touch,  visiting  together  once 
a  year.  We  had  the  sad  experience  of  hav- 
ing Bertha  stricken  with  a  heart  attack 
while  we  were  at  Bessie's  in  Suffield,  Conn., 
early  last  fall.  Bertha  died  in  Worcester 
two  weeks  later.  Our  threesome  of  so  many 
years  is  broken." 


1905 

In  Memoriam:  Mary  Willett  Blackinton 
on  January  21,  1965  in  Flint,  Mich.  Mrs. 
Blackinton  was  organizer  and  first  presi- 
dent of  the  Women's  Hospital  Auxiliary, 
now  McLaren  General  Hospital  Auxiliary 
of  Flint.  She  was  a  lifelong  resident  of 
Flint  and  a  great-granddaughter  of  Henry 
H.  Crapo,  who  served  as  governor  of 
Michigan  from  1865  to  1868.  Mrs.  Black- 
inton's    aunt.    Lulu   Crapo   Orrell,   attended 


Whitehill   Farm 

Lyme  Centre,   New  Hampshire 

(Sarah    H.  Strong  '06) 


the  Seminary  in  1880-82.  She  is  survived 
by  her  husband,  Mr.  J.  Guy  Blackinton, 
two  daughters,  a  son  and  five  grandchil- 
dren. 

Other  News:  Our  thanks  to  Barbara 
Vail  Bosworth,  who  thoughtfully  for- 
warded a  brochure  for  the  new  McGraw- 
Hill  senior  high  school  text,  "Guide  to 
Modern  Meals."  One  of  the  three  authors 
is  Miss  Dorothy  E.  Shank,  a  former  Lasell 
Home  Economics  instructor  and  currently 
a  member  of  the  faculty  at  Teachers  Col- 
lege, Columbia  University.  Miss  Shank  was 
Food  and  Nutrition  Editor  of  What's  New 
in  Home  Economics,  Head  of  the  Food 
Section  of  the  Bureau  of  Home  Economics, 
U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture;  and  a

To  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Tewksbury,  Edna  Cones 
Prior  x-'07  writes:  "Lasell  has  always 
meant  so  much  to  me.  Had  I  had  a  daugh- 
ter, I  would  have  enrolled  her  at  my  Alma 
Mater." 

Carrie  Sessions  Dodge  is  "convinced  that 
Lasell  is  making  a  genuine  contribution 
to  the  education  of  our  young  women  of 
today.  And  I  like  the  practical  courses 
which  are  offered  to  them."

Dorothy  Burnham  Eaton's  greeting  for 
the  Christmas  season  was  another  of  her 
lovely  poems: 

Out  of  the  rock  a  tree. 
Out  of  the  dark  a  star  .  .  . 
Wonder  and  mystery 
Out  of  the  rock !   A  tree 
Lifts  buds  and  branches  free 
Like  a  word  on  the  living  air  .  .  . 
Out  of  the  rock  a  tree. 
Out  of  the  dark  a  star.

And  as  another  Holiday  Season  comes 
to    an  end,    we   share   our   Christmas   mail: 

From  Peg  Reid  Perry  came  news  that 
"Nels"  died  suddenly  on  a  trip  to  Miami 
shortly  after  a  visit  in  Delray  Beach  with 
Dot  Ely  Bigham  '21.  Wish  I  might  share 
with  you  the  entire  review  of  Nelson's 
wide  scope  of  interests  but  a  short  resume 
shows  that  he  was  a  Fellow  of  the  Ameri- 
can Geographic  Society  and  the  Royal 
Geographic  Society  of  London,  a  life  mem- 
ber of  the  Schenectady  Museum,  a  member 
of  the  Explorers  Club,  The  New  York  Zoo- 
logical Society,  the  Asian  Society,  and  the 
Kenya  Wildlife  Society.  To  Peg,  and  to  her 
son  and  daughter,  we  send  heartfelt  sym- 
pathy. And  to  Marcia  Orozco  Cobb  x-'21 
we  also  extend  sympathy  in  the  loss  of  her 
mother,  Senora  Refugio  Orozco,  known 
and  beloved  by  so  many. 

From  Maine,  Theresa  Thompson  Os- 
borne speaks  of  her  Anne's  being  tempo- 
rarily in  Idaho  where  her  husband's  busi- 
ness will  keep  them  away  from  Connecti- 
cut until  Fall. 

Helene  Grashorn  Dickson,  with  seven 
grandchildren  for  the  Holiday  Season, 
writes  enthusiastically  of  a  Fall  Lasell 
party. 

Jo  Holbrook  Metzger  flies  up  and  down 
to  Maine  on  #128  each  summer  and  prom- 
ises to  call  "one  of  these  days." 

Marge  Gifford  Grimm  and  George  al- 
ways send  an  interesting  folder  of  their 
year's  activities  and  that  of  their  family. 
They  toured  Europe  last  Fall. 

I  chat  with  Dot  Caldwell  Jordan  occa- 
sionally and  hope  to  see  her  soon. 


Libby  Madeira  Campbell  and  Laurence 
are  staying  home  for  a  change.  They 
toured  Alaska  and  the  Canadian  Rockies 
last  summer  for  six  weeks.  Libby  adds: 
"Would  like  to ,  see  more  1922  news  in 
the  Leaves." 

As  for  myself:  George,  son  Dean,  a  rail- 
road enthusiast,  and  Grandpa  keep  me 
busy  along  with  my  outside  interests.  We 
have  decided  that  daughter  Anne's  (Harris 
Hughes  '55)  two  sons  have  built-in  rockets! 
But  true  grandparents  that  we  are  —  we 
love  them,  noise  and  all.

Helene  Grashorn  Dickson  writes  from 
Fort  Lauderdale,  Florida:  "It's  a  good  idea 
for  me  to  take  a  trip  once  in  a  while  for 
this  seems  to  be  the  only  time  I  can  sit 
down  and  write  letters  —  no  interrup- 
tions. Do  want  to  report  an  October  eve- 
ning party  —  enjoyed  by  the  Chicago-area

"Twenty-seven  (won't  list  all  the  names) 
girls  and  husbands  came  for  buffet  dinner 
at  my  home.  I  was  especially  happy  to  see 
my  former  roommate,  Vera  Clauer  Hans. 
She  and  her  husband  drove  from  South 
Bend  for  the  occasion. 

"Mae  Florine  Thielens  Peeples  x-'06  gave

spend  Christmas  in  Bangkok  and  Easter  in

John  Jr.,  in  junior  high  school. 

"The  campus  looked  marvelous  —  even 
in  the  pouring  rain"  —  so  says  Augusta 
Williamson  Lips  who  had  recently  visited 
her  niece  Gail  Williamson,  presently  en- 
rolled  at   Lasell. 

During  the  Christmas  Season,  three  Lasell 
friends  and  husbands  met  at  the  Boston 
Statler-Hilton  —  Adele  de  l'Etoile  Brei- 
tenstein,  Edith  Fitzgerald  Arnold,  and  Glen- 
nys  Preston  Allicon.  A  wonderful  evening 
was  enjoyed  —  busy  talking  over  days  of 
"remember  when"  at  Lasell  as  well  as 
catching  up  on  family  activities. 

Adele's  son,  John,  is  a  freshman  at 
Stearns  Institute  of  Technology  in  New 
Jersey. 

Edith  and  Bob's  clan  consists  of  Connie 
14,  Bobby  12,  and  Richard  4. 

Glennys  and  Phil's  daughter,  Elizabeth, 
is   also    14. 

The  husbands  discovered  there  was  too 
much  competition  conversation-wise;  fi- 
nally, the  gals  assembled  in  a  corner  in 
order  to  get  up  to  date  over  the  years 
in  a  few  short  hours.  They  decided  that 
all  in  all  they  had  "worn  well"  and  were 
rather  proud  of  themselves  and  their  looks. 

It  is  undecided  whether  the  next  reunion 
will  be  with  Adele  in  New  Jersey;  with 
Edith  in  Massachusetts,  or  with  Glennys  in 
Vermont,  but  they  are  convinced  another 
reunion  is  a  "must"  —  and  soon.

Anne  Campbell  Terrell's  (x-'37)  Christ- 
mas letter,  dated  December  1,  1964  — 
mailed  in  Paris  —  included  in  part: 

'After  seven  delightful  weeks  of  travel 
in  Europe  (and  two  more  to  enjoy  before 
we  arrive  in  New  York),  your  reporter  is 
having  difficulty  settling  down  to  compose 
our  annual  newsletter.  Many  of  the  Euro- 
pean cities  we  have  visited  are  already 
familiar  to  the  veteran  traveler,  but  to  a 
neophyte  each  new  place  is  a  great  ex- 
perience. 

"During  October,  our  home  base  was 
Geneva,  Switzerland,  a  lovely  lake-side  city 
within  easy  driving  distance  of  the  unfor- 
gettable Alps.  Our  road-worthy  Volks- 
wagen made  it  possible  to  explore  more 
frequently  in  the  tiny  ancient  villages  on 
our  leisurely  drives  through  these  coun- 
tries. 

"While  Jim  attended  Radiological  Health 
conferences  in  Geneva,  Vienna,  Rome,  and 
Paris,  Anne  hiked  (with  a  map  of  the  city 
and  a  small  dictionary)  to  see  more  of  the 
marvelous  art  museums,  ancient  buildings, 
parks,  palaces,  and  cathedrals  in  each  city. 
We  are  equally  fortunate  in  Paris  to  have 
three  charming  French  ladies,  who  have 
escorted  us  on  numerous  tours  throughout 
this  fabulous  city.  Our  niece.  Sue  Ellen 
Terrill,  currently  studying  at  the  Sorbonne, 
has  been  a  lovely  guide  and  companion 
on  several  small  trips,  including  one  to  the 
chateau  and  cathedral  country  on  the  Loire 
River  and  to  the  Normandy  Coast. 

"In  the  Alps  region  of  Switzerland,  Ger- 
many, and  Austria,  we  found  Lausanne, 
Chamonix,  Morez,  Aubois,  Salzburg,  Inns- 
bruck, Garmisch  and  Berchtesgaden  even 
more  lovely  than  the  pictures.  Also  memo- 
rable was  our  week  of  travel  through  south- 
ern France  to  Nice,  Monaco,  Genoa,  and 
thence  along  the  precipitous  Mediterranean 
coast  towards  Rome."

Kay  McDonough  Ulrich  writes:  "Have  ap- 
preciated more  and  more  as  the  years  pass 
the  fine  educational  facilities  at  Lasell  — 
especially  the  fine  art  department.  Made 
good  use  of  the  knowledge  I  received,  hav- 
ing made  a  small  dent  in  the  art  world." 
Kay  has  two  sons,  aged  10  and  17. 

Marie  Bruns  Dodge  has  a  son,  Peter, 
who  is  a  Navy  jet  pilot  stationed  near  Viet 
Nam.  Her  daughter,  Cynthia,  was  married

From  Priscilla  Greene  Quirk  x-'39:  "I 
have  been  a  teacher  in  public  and  private 
schools  for  the  past  thirteen  years.  Am 
presently  ort  the  faculty  of  Waynflete 
School  in  Portland.  Maine.  Prior  to  this, 
I  taught  at  the  Berkshire  Country  Day 
School  in  Lenox,  Mass.,  and  at  The  Rectory 
School  in  Pomfret,  Connecticut.  Have  also 
done  public  school  teaching  in  Southbridge, 
Mass.,  and  Woodstock,  Conn." 

From  Allison  Starr  Elrod:  "Christmas  of 
'64  finds  the  Elrods  all  in  good  health  and 
hoping  that  you  are,  too.  Our  Christmas 
will  be  made  the  merrier  by  the  arrival  of 
Allison's  parents  from  St.  John,  New  Bruns- 
wick. 

"Joanne  will  be  home  with  us  from 
Wells  College,  where  she  is  now  a  junior. 
She  has  decided  to  major  in  mathematics, 
with  the  intention  of  eventually  entering 
the  computer-programming  field.  She  is 
also  studying  water  ballet  with  the  hope  of 
teaching  it  at  the  Pleasantville  pool  next 
summer  —  adding  to  her  former  activities 
of  lifeguarding. 

"During  her  senior  year  in  the  Pleasant- 
ville High  School,  Carolyn  has  been  achiev- 
ing a  truly  excellent  scholastic  record,  and 
has  done  well  in  those  interminable  tests 
one  must  take  for  college  entrance  now- 
adays. Carolyn  is  a  first  soprano  in  the 
high  school  choral  group  which  has  re- 
cently been  giving  performances  before 
local  social  organizations.  Her  love  of 
horses  and  of  sports  continues. 

"Terry  is  in  the  eighth  grade.  He  is  in 
chorus  and,>  in  addition,  has  lately  been 
rehearsing  for  a  part  in  'The  Pirates  of 
Penzance.'  Scouting  is  one  of  his  real 
enthusiasms.  He  went  to  a  scout  camp 
for  two  weeks  last  summer  north  of  Lake 
George  and  has  been  on  a  number  of 
overnights  and  hikes  during  the  year. 
He  is  now  training  for  the  Tarrytown 
Y.M.C.A.  swim  teams  and  thinks  nothing 
of  swimming  a  mile  during  any  one  of  the 
bi-weekly  practices. 


"We  have  been  very  much  occupied  this 
year  becoming  a  part  of  our  new  town  of 
Pleasantville,  chauffeuring,  and  redecorating 
the  interior  of  the  house  on  a  do-it-your- 
self basis.  Much  work  remains  to  be  done, 
but  we  find  the  results  so  far  obtained  very 
encouraging.  Allison  is  writing  Christmas 
cards  with  one  hand  and  wielding  a  paint 
brush  with  the  other.  Harold  is  working 
hard  both  with  his  teaching  and  his  con- 
sulting and  doing  a  considerable  amount 
of  travelling.  Allison  is  teaching  anthropol- 
ogy to  the  fifth  grade  Sunday  school  class 
in  the  Northern  Westchester  Unitarian  Fel- 
lowship and  fervently  hopes  the  children 
are  learning  one-sixteenth  what  she  is. 

"We  had  a  most  pleasant  camping  vaca- 
tion along  the  New  Jersey  coast  in  August 

—  beautiful  beaches  —  beautiful  weather 

—  and  lengthy  boardwalks!  We  took  a 
brief  weekend  hop  to  Delaware,  Mary- 
land and  Virginia  last  fall  tracing  some 
early  Elrod  ancestors  with  considerable 
success. 

"The  World's  Fair  will  be  open  again 
this  coming  summer  and  our  offer  of  last 
year  is  repeated  —  we'd  love  to  see  you 
and  we  hope  you  will  come  and  visit  us."

Betty  Phillips  Dick  writes:  "Way  back 
in  the  dark  ages,  Blaisdell  held  four  juniors 
for  a  year.  Last  June  —  three  of  those  four 
had  lunch  at  my  home  —  and  a  great  re- 
union it  was.  Helen  Ventrone  Tefft  x-'40 
lives  in  Wilmette,  just  north  of  us,  with 
her  husband  and  two  sons.  Janet  Hayton 
Jewett  now  lives  in  Wilmington,  Delaware, 
with  her  husband,  Executive  Secretary  of 
the  Wilmington  Council  of  Churches,  and 
four  children  —  Nancy,  Allan,  Bruce,  and 
Jacalyn  (twins).  Gertrude  McLaughlin 
Metelnick  x-'40,  who  had  lived  in  Wood-

all  the  girls  and  realize  that  we  could  all 
get  together  so  far  from  our  original  start- 
ing point. 

"Now  —  I  wonder  if  anyone  has  any 
idea  where  Peggy  Greene  Jeffries  is  after 
all  these  years.  She  was  the  fourth  member 
of  Blaisdell  in  '38-'39."

1941 

In  October,  the  Warren  Berman's  (Norma 
Forsberg)  and  the  Jack  Stone's  (Mary  Hal- 
ler)  enjoyed  a  dinner  date  and  a  pleasant 
evening  with  much  conversation  and  rem- 
iniscing. 

Mary  Elizabeth  Allen  Ryan  had  a  plea- 
sant   visit    with    Berna    Bishop    Richards. 

Virginia  Black  DeLong  writes:  "You  just 
can't  imagine  my  delight  and  surprise  in 
receiving  the  beautiful  Kodak  Signet  40 
camera  as  a  prize  from  the  drawing  at 
The  Alumnae  Bazaar.  If  you  can  remem- 
ber, photography  has  always  been  one  of 
my  fondest  hobbies.  I  am  thrilled  to  re- 
ceive  it. 

"Last  summer  I  drove  around  the  cam- 
pus and  was  most  impressed  by  the  new 
buildings  —  what  I  really  liked  was  the 
mixing  of  the  old  and  the  new. 

"We  visited  Dorothy  Tiffany  Cochran 
one  evening  and  talked  about  our  days 
at  Lasell  —  much  laughter  as  we  recalled 
our  times  and  pranks.  Have  also  talked 
via  telephone  to  several  alumnae  trying 
to  interest  them  in  our  Lasell  Club. 

"Dick  and  I  still  have  a  few  years  before 
daughter,  Marianna,  is  old  enough  for  col- 
lege. She  is  a  good  student  and  I  hope  she 
will  think  fondly  of  Lasell  in  the  future." 

With  her  Christmas  greetings  to  Janet 
Jansing  Sheffer,  a  note  from  Marion 
Greene  Anderson  was  included  which 
said  in  part:  "I  have  recently  received  the 
Round  Robin  letter  from  the  Chandler  gals. 
They  have  been  corresponding  for  23  years. 
That  is  quite  a  record.  Jane  Grey  Fisher 
is   responsible    for   its    continued    success." 


1943 

Mr.  Maurice  Kaufman,  a  Leominster 
(Mass.)  consulting  industrial  and  man- 
agement engineer,  has  most  thoughtfully 
brought  to  our  attention  a  recent  newspa- 
per article,  entitled  "No  Age  Limit  on  Fit- 
ness —  Gym  Classes  in  Nursery  Schools." 
It  reads,  in  part: 

The  Oak  Hill  Kindergarten  and  Day 
Nursery  School  has  initiated  a  type  of  gym 
class  at  its  school  under  the  instruction  of 
Mrs.  Ernest  Howarth  (Persis  Pendleton) 
of  Lunenburg,  wife  of  the  general  secretary 
of  the  YMCA. 

Mrs.  Howarth  has  said  that  Fitchburg 
is  a  pioneer  in  this  project  in  that  Oak 
Hill  is  one  of  the  first  nursery  schools  in 
the  country  to  put  this  kind  of  program 
into  effect.  Penny  Howarth  has  had  20 
weeks  of  experience  in  working  with  pre- 
school youngsters.  For  the  past  five  months 
she  has  been  teaching  a  class  of  three,  four 
and  five-year-olds  at  the  YMCA.  From 
her  observations  in  these  classes,  she  came 
to  the  conclusion  that  there  is  a  real 
'need'  for  physical  exercise  in  this  age 
group.

"Had  our  eldest  been  a  girl,  we  might  have 
sent  an  application  to  Lasell  this  year.  As 
it  is,  Bill  has  just  been  accepted  at  his  first 
choice,  Washington  College  in  Chester- 
town,  Maryland  —  and  his  parents  heaved 
a  sigh  of  relief!  He  hopes  to  follow  his 
Dad's  profession:  law.  I  have  three  years 
more  work  on  my  degree  in  Math  at  Mon-

ahead  of  him !"

Classes  are  filled  with  instruction  in 
exercises  and  tumbling.  Brightly  painted 
equipment  such  as  balance  beams,  ladders, 
ramps,  automobile  tires  and  wood  blocks 
are  apparatus  used  by  the  youngsters. 
They  even  learn  to  walk  a  saw  horse  for 
balance   reasons. 

Mrs.  Howarth  says  that  the  exercise 
program  prevents  poor  posture,  fatigue, 
even  accidents.  It  develops  strength,  flex- 
ibility, co-ordination  and  balance  and  does 
a  great  deal  toward  releasing  tension. 

To  quote  Harriet  Lindsey  Dinsmore: 

"The  Washington  Alumnae  Club  is  look-

Dear  Classmates, 

It  is  with  deep  regret  that  I,  as  assistant 
class  secretary,  write  this  letter  to  inform 
you  of  two  things. 

First,  we  have  lost  Berry,  our  good 
friend  and  class  secretary  of  sixteen  and 
a  half  years.  She  was  aboard  the  ill-fated 
TWA  airliner  when  it  crashed  last  No- 
vember at  the  Rome  Airport. 

I  have  written  a  number  of  classmates 
with  whom  Berry  and  I  were  in  close  con- 
tact, and  we  all  hope  you  will  give  serious 
thought  to  a  memorial  at  the  College  in 
Berry's   name. 

The  other  item  is  that  due  to  circum- 
stances in  my  experience,  I  find  that  I 
cannot  continue  to  carry  on  the  task  of 
class  secretary.  Thus  we  have  a  new,  eager 
and  enthusiastic  worker  —  Chris  Laaby 
Wellemeyer  of  37  Marilyn  Road,  Scituate, 
Massachusetts.  She  will  be  assisted  by 
Mary  Small  Lee.  192  Pine  Ridge  Road, 
Waban,  Mass.  These  two  girls  have  indi- 
cated a  willingness  to  serve  our  Class  and 
the  College;  both  live  in  the  vicinity  of 
Auburndale.  It  is  my  wish  that  you  will 
all  give  them  the  grand  support  you 
granted  Berry  and  me. 

I  am  most  grateful  for  the  many  years 
of  happy  contact  with  so  many  of  our 
classmates. 

Sincerely,

While  on  vacation  at  the  New  York 
World's  Fair,  Ann  Ashley  Sanderson,  hus- 
band Ted,  and  two  children  visited  Patricia 
Penry  Van  Hoesen  and  family. 

"Season's  Greetings  from  the  Wheatons 
(Dode  Molan)"  included  this  interesting 
paragraph  about  The  Parents: 

"Usually  the  kids  come  first,  but  there 
being  the  same  number  of  them  this  year, 
we'll  change.  Dode  and  I  finally  got  some 
vacation  this  year,  coupled  with  a  new  car 
we  took  possession  of  in  Fargo,  North  Da- 
kota. We  went  there  by  train  with  some 
of  the  kids  —  first  ever  for  them,  first  in 
ten  years  for  us  —  and  spent  a  week  wan- 
dering around  Minnesota  campsites  by  car 
on  the  return  trip.  The  going  by  train, 
complete  with  300  pounds  of  camping 
gear  and  five  kids,  was  quite  a  sight.  We 
had  a  ball  and  are  persuaded  to  become

"Rog  and  I  often  wonder  if  it  weren't 
for  Christmas  how  we  would  ever  keep  in 
touch  with  the  many  wonderful  friends  we 
think  of  throughout  the  year. 

"We  finally  moved  into  our  new  heme 
at  1220  Timberland  Drive,  Shelby,  North 
Carolina,  on  February  11th.  From  then 
on  the  midnight  oil  was  burning  trying  to 
keep  up  with  the  builders.  It  was  hectic 
at  times  but  well  worth  it.  We  did  most 
of  our  own  planning  and  sketches  so  it 
was  quite  an  experience.  With  the  house 
still  in  process,  we  took  off  for  two  weeks 
to  visit  at  Cape  Cod.  Mother  had  added 
a  bedroom  wing  and  bath  to  the  cottage  so 
Gini's  and  Jane's  family  and  our  clan  could 
all  be  under  the  same  roof.  What  fun  — 
but  always  hate  to  leave.  Seven  months  and 
eight  days  later  we  moved  into  our  new 
home.  It's  still  like  a  dream.  We  all  love 
it  but  having  a  time  trying  to  educate 
Grant  (3)  that  even  though  there's  a  lack

at  the  crack  of  dawn  —  all  dressed  — 
room  picked  up  ■ —  and  even  feeds  our

"Gini  Lee  is  quite  excited  about  hav- 
ing her  own  room,  which  is  off-limits  to 
her  sister  and  brother.  She's  in  the  second

"We  are  all  proud  of  Daddy's  new 
position.  He'll  be  travelling  throughout 
the  entire  southeast,  and  recently  acquired 
a  new  Company  car.  As  for  me  —  ever

Virginia  Snedeker  Marschall  writes: 
"Another  year  has  flown  by  and  we  find 
ourselves  still  in  Fulda,  Germany.  This 
may  sound  of  little  significance  to  you, 
but  for  us  two  years  in  any  one  place  has 
usually  heralded  an  approaching  move. 
Our  deadline  is  February  1,  1965.  This 
year  the  Marschalls  have  decided  to  bring 
you  up  to  date  through  a  Christmas  letter. 
We  have  so  many  people  we  want  to  write 


that  we  are  afraid  our  hands  wouldn't  hold 
up  under  the  strain  of  writing  by  long- 
hand ! 

"To  review  our  'trail'  since  Southeast 
Asian  days,  we  joined  Goodyear  Interna- 
tional Corporation,  Akron,  Ohio,  in  March 
1962,  after  a  two-year  sojourn  in  New 
York.  After  a  year's  training/orientation 
program,  Kurt  was  unexpectedly  sent  here 
to  Goodyear's  newly  purchased  German 
subsidiary,  Gummiwerke  Fulda,  where  he 
has  been  involved  in  sales  and  marketing 
work.    Kurt  was  recently  named  Manager 

—  Marketing  and  Sales  Promotion.  He  is 
thoroughly  enjoying  his  work  and  envi- 
sions a  great  future  for  the  Company,  par- 
ticularly within  the  Common  Market. 

"Our  home  in  Maberzell,  a  small  village 
just  outside  of  Fulda,  is  finally  finished  — 
with  stucco  on,  walls  built  (outside)  and 
trees,  plants  and  grass  in.  What  a  delight 
it  has  been  for  us  to  look  out  on  something 
green  rather  than  the  piles  of  dirt  and  mud 
we  faced  for  so  long.  And  it  is  a  relief 
not  to  have  it  all  tracked  in  —  it  still 
finds  its  way  into  the  house,  but  not 
in  such  great  quantities.  We  made  such 
a  good  choice  when  we  bought  our  carpet 

—  sand,  coffee,  bananas,  orange  juice  and 
mud  all  blend  in  beautifully !  We  are  most 
pleased  with  the  area.  Ours  and  about  40 
other  houses  are  situated  on  a  hill  over- 
looking most  of  Fulda  and  surrounding 
suburbs.  As  you  can  visualize,  the  view  is 
beautiful.  We  are  surrounded  by  fields 
and  wooded  areas  which  supply  the  chil- 
dren with  all  the  breathing  room  they  can 
handle.  All  in  all,  we  were  fortunate  to 
find  this  gem  since  good  housing  is  still 
scarce   in   Fulda.

seven  in  the  same  month  but  three  days 
later.  They  have  both  adjusted  themselves 
well  to  Germany,  especially  David  who 
now  speaks  the  language  as  a  native  (and 
looks  like  one  in  his  Lederhosen)  and  is  in 
the  first  grade  in  the  German  school  here 
in  Maberzell.  David  loves  school,  only 
complaining  about  the  homework  he  must 
do  every  day.  He  is  gradually  learning  that 
he  must  do  it  though,  as  the  complaints 
are  getting  fewer.  It  is  a  great  education 
for  Ginny  too,  as  she  is  learning  right 
along  with  him.  Laurie  does  her  'Aufgabe' 
(homework)  along  with  David  —  although 
at  times  'we'  forget  to  write  on  the  paper 

—  after  all,  the  table,  wallpaper  and  floor 
make  dandy  places  to  write.  She  is  devel- 
oping a  German/American  vocabulary  with 
a  few  Laurieisms  thrown  in  for  good 
measure.  And  she  is  insisting  she  is  a  boy, 
like  her  brother  —  even  when  we  ask  her 
name,  she  says  'Boy  Marschall.' 

"Fulda  is  located  just  about  in  the  mid- 
dle of  West  Germany'  and  within  five  hou's 
you  are  easily  in  Hamburg  to  the  north 
or  Munich  in  the  south.  Within  a  day  one 
can  be  in  Austria,  Switzerland,  or  even 
Italy.  Last  May,  we  all  went  to  Jeselo,  a 
sea  resort  near  Venice,  for  our  vacation. 
In  a  leisurely  two-day  trip  we  drove  there 
via  Innsbruck,  the  Brenner  Pass,  and  Cor- 
tina 'di  Appazo  and  on  our  return  via  the 
Grossglockner  Pass  in  Austria.  Jeselo  in 
late  May  and  early  June  is  at  its  best  since 
the  summer  crowds  have  not  yet  appeared 
and  the  weather,  while  warm,  is  not  over- 
bearingly hot,  as  it  is  in  mid-season.  The 
children  thoroughly  enjoyed  it  as  did  their 
parents  —  they  must  have  as  they  arrived 
home  with  exactly  35  cents  left  in  their 
pockets. 

"It  was  a  real  thrill  for  us  this  summer 
when  Kurt's  folks  came  to  visit.  They  were 
in  Europe  only  five  weeks,  and  a  short  two 
weeks  with  us  —  hardly  enough  time, 
but  we  were,  of  course,  delighted  to  see 
them.  It  was  especially  wonderful  for 
Kurt's  mother  as  it  was  her  first  trip  back 
to  her  'homeland'  in  over  30  years.  We 
traveled  a  bit  with  them,  going  to  Bremen, 
Hamburg   and    Harburg   to    visit    relatives. 

"We  are  keeping  busy  with  work  and

Miss  Alice  May,  Bursar  —  Lasell  Junior  College 


A  "MATCH"  ANYONE???? 

More  than  200  firms  throughout  the  United  States  and  Canada  currently  have 
a  "matching  gift"  program  to  help  support  higher  education.  While  individual 
companies  may  vary  in  the  operating  details  of  their  programs,  all  are  essentially 
alike  in  that  they  match  —  usually  dollar  for  dollar  —  the  contributions  of  an 
alumnus-employee  to  his  college,  university  or  school.  When  you  make  a  contribu- 
tion, you  fill  in  a  short  form  provided  by  your  employer,  who  matches  your 
gift  by  sending  an  equal  amount  to  your  college. 

YOU  are  the  reason  for  these  matching  gift  programs.  Your  employer  is 
offering  support  to  your  Alma  Mater  in  recognition  of  the  contribution  you,  as  an 
educated  person,  are  making  to  your  company.

ONE  HUNDRED  TENTH  ANNUAL 
COMMENCEMENT  .... 

TRADITIONAL  AWARDS  .... 

Class  Night  Exercises  were  held  on  Saturday  evening,  June  5,  1965  on  the 
Recreation  Field.  Mr.  Wilder  N.  Smith,  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trustees, 
welcomed  parents,  relatives  and  friends  of  the  graduates,  and  remarked: 

"Commencement  is  a  many-faceted  occasion  —  a  time  of  mixed  emotions. 
This  afternoon  those  of  you  who  attended  the  ceremony  at  the  Crow's  Nest  and 
watched  the  crowning  of  the  June  Queen  saw  it  at  its  most  light-hearted.  Tomorrow 
you  will,  I  hope,  join  us  again  under  this  same  tent  when  you  will  see  Commence- 
ment at  its  most  solemn. 

"Class  Night  strikes  a  kind  of  balance  between  these  two  extremes.  Tonight 
we  are  gay  but  at  the  same  time  serious,  for  it  is  at  this  moment  that  we  honor 
publicly  the.  various  accomplishments  of  individual  students  who,  during  two 
short  years,  in  one  endeavor  or  another,  have  achieved  that  quality  of  excellence 
that  is  the  goal  of  all  educational  effort. 

"The  awards  we  give  tonight  are  traditional,  some  in  fact  having  their  roots 
in  the  late  nineteenth  century;  others  are  of  more  recent  origin.  But  whether 
old  or  new,  tradition  gives  a  special  kind  of  dignity  to  life;  it  connects  the  present 
with  the  past  and  makes  every  graduating  class  a  part  of  that  continuous  stream 
of  college  life  that  is  truly  Lasell." 

ATHLETIC  AWARDS:  For  the  second  consecutive  year,  Marjorie  Story  captained 
the  Winning  Crew.  Shelly  Gunther,  Pamela  Hill  and  Mimi  Wiley  were  also 
members  of  the  "repeat"  team.  Jane  Betts,  Debbie  DeStaebler,  Maryjayne 
DiZenzo,  Delores  Gagliardi  and  Kathy  Goulder  completed  The  Winning 
Crew,  representing  Converse  House.  Also  recognized  were  the  Briggs  Seniors; 
their  rowing  time  was  but  one  second  behind  that  of  the  Converse  Crew. 
Members  of  the  Briggs  Crew  include:  Laurel  Brown,  Joan  Nutt,  Sue  Benz, 
Susan  Constantine,  Cammy  Hough,  Janet  Sherlock,  Leslie  Rich,  Karen  Sergeant; 
Captain  Janet  Muir.  Gold  Charms  were  given  to  Leslie  Rich  and  Catherine

1895 

Very  Special  Reunioner  Mabel  Taylor 
Gannett  writes:  "How  I  wish  I  were  going 
to  Lasell  for  the  12th.  On  that  day  I  shall 
remember  five  years  ago  when  I  attended 
the  Luncheon  and  had  much  delight  in 
touring  the  campus.  I  am  sending  a  trea- 
sured souvenir  I  made  at  the  Seminary  sev- 
enty years  ago.  The  linen  teacloth  is  em- 
broidered with  the  signatures  of  the  twenty- 
one  members  of  the  Class  of  1895.  It  will 
be  comforting  to  know  that  all  of  us  are 
represented  on  the  occasion  of  our  70th 
Reunion." 


1900 

From  Emilie  Kothe  Collins:  "The  kind 
invitation  for  Reunion  Luncheon  is  greatly 
appreciated.  Am  very  sorry  I  am  unable  to 
accept.  I  have  many  happy  memories  of 
my  Lasell  days  and  of  the  very  dear  friends 
I  found  there.  My  new  address  is  1124-B 
Viola  Avenue,  Glendale,  Calif." 

1905 

Unfortunately  for  us,  there  were  no  "ac- 
ceptances" to  Reunion  Luncheon  from  The 
Class  of  1905.   Messages  include:

From  Mabel  Sayles  Webster:  ".  .  .  I 
assure  you  nothing  would  give  me  more 
pleasure,  but  I  cannot  accept.  I  have  three 
grandchildren  graduating  from  schools  and 
colleges  this  June,  and  I  shall  be  in  Wil- 
liamstown  on  the  12th.  However,  I  plan 
to  be  in  Auburndale  for  Wendy's  (Gaillard) 
graduation." 

Mary  Potter  McConn:  "Do  miss  receiv- 
ing the  1905  Round  Robin  Letter.  I  fear  it 
has  become  lost.  We  were  so  very  proud 
of  the  fact  that  we  kept  it  going  over  50 
years.  Every  good  wish  for  Lasell." 

Grace  Rowe  Vail  is  also  missing  the 
Round  Robin  and  adds:  "perhaps  this  gra- 
cious Reunion  invitation  will  stimulate  the 
1905-ers  to  start  the  class  letter  again." 
Her  present  address:  The  Methodist  Re- 
tirement Home,  Durham,  N.C. 

And  from  Eugene,  Oregon,  Eila  Petter- 
son  Rogers  writes:  "Would  so  enjoy  com- 
ing to  Auburndale  and  to  see  my  class- 
mates again.  Spent  last  summer  in  the  East 
- —  visiting  my  sisters  in  Massachusetts, 
and  Agnes  Wylie  West  in  Vermont.  I  am 
eighty  years  old,  enjoy  good  health,  good 
friends  and  good  books." 

Barbara  Vail  Bosworth:  "I  would  love  to 
be  with  you  all  in  Auburndale  on  June  12th. 
Have  enjoyed  reading  the  Bullet in  and 
was  particularly  interested  in  the  New  York 
Times  article  in  regard  to  junior  colleges. 
For  seven  years  I  was  a  member  of  the 
faculty  at  Cogswell  Polytechnical  College  in 
San  Francisco." 

Regrets  were  also  received  from  Helen 
Royse  Shirk,  54  Hood  Street,  Peru,  Indiana; 
and  from  Argenta  MacDonald  Carothers, 
1357  Olivet  Street,  La  Jolla,  California.  Mr. 
Carothers  died  on  May  30,  1964. 


1908 

Grace  Emerson  Cole  reports  a  February 
visit  in  Florida  with  Betty  Love  Macey, 
and  adds:  "Have  moved  to  Meadow  Lakes 
Retirement  Home  in  Hightstown,  New 
Jersey.  The  hotel-like  facility  was  built  by 
the  Presbyterian  Churches  of  New  Jersey. 


1909 

Elizabeth  Robinson  Breed  has  enrolled 
"newest  grandchild  and  namesake,"  Eliza- 
beth Robinson  Breed,  with  The  Class  of 
1982  at  Lasell. 

From  Annie  Crowe  Collum:  "While  in 
England  last  spring,  I  picked  up  'the 
threads'  with  my  god-daughter,  a  violin 
student  at  the  Royal  Academy  of  Music.  Re- 
ceived a  very  happy  letter  from  Katherine  H. 
Wheeler  at  Christmas.  She  was  spending 
the  holiday  season   in  Hawaii." 


1910 

The  on-campus  55  th  Reunion  delegates 
included  Tulia  Crafts  Sheridan,  Margherita 
Dike  Hallberg  and  Cornelia  Stone;  Grace 
K.  Adams  x-'lO  joined  them  for  Luncheon 
on  Saturday,  June  12.  Last-minute  cancel- 
lations from  Mary  Lumbard  Courtney  and 
Lucy  Aldrich  Berston  were  received  with 
sincere  regret.  Letters  to  Jo  Woodward 
Rand  furnish  a  more  complete  Reunion  re- 
port.  We  quote: 

From  Julia  Crafts  Sheridan:  "In  Febru- 
ary we  sold  the  Squaw  Mountain  Inn; 
this  summer  I'm  opening  an  antique  shop 
at  the  Junction.  Had  a  fine  visit  with  Har- 
riet Wetsel  Bryan  x-'lO  in  LongmeadoAV 
this  spring." 

Margherita  Dike  Hallberg;  "Ever  busy 
and  interested  with  the  activities  of  the  six 
grandchildren.  My  hobbies  include  bowling, 
knitting  —  and  mostly,  gadding.  Had  a 
marvelous  cruise  around  the  world  last 
year." 

M.  Cornelia  Stone:  "Hope  to  go  to  Peru 
and  Guatemala  this  fall  with  the  head  of 
the  Weaving  Department  of  the  Art  In- 
stitute of  Chicago." 

Grace  K.  Adams:  "A  lifelong  resident  of 
Auburndale,  I  have  always  been  interested 
in  Lasell.  Am  a  graduate  of  the  New  En- 
gland Conservatory  of  Music;  received  both 
Bachelor's  and  Master's  degrees  from  Bos- 
ton University's  School  of  Education." 

Irma  Levi  Levy:  "My  son,  Emil,  lives 
here  in  Sarasota;  Sam,  in  Houston.  I  have 
six  grandsons  and  one  granddaughter.  I  do 
volunteer  work  for  the  Symphony  Women's 
Exchange;  their  profits  are  directed  to  the 
Symphony  Orchestra  and  for  scholarships 
for  young  people  seeking  an  education  in 
music.  Enjoy  living  in  sunny  Sarasota  — 
on  the  Gulf  of  Mexico,  and  look  forward  to 
the  winter  when  I  visit  —  on  the  telephone 
and  in  person  —  with  Julia  Crafts  Sheri- 
dan." 

Julia  Hamilton  Peters:  "I  won't  be  in 
Auburndale  for  our  55th.  My  husband  has 
made  plans  for  us  to  leave  California  in 
May  to  visit  his  sister  in  Tulsa,  and  to  see 
the  second  great-grandchild  in  Fort  Worth. 
Just  had  a  brief  note  from  Tot  McLean 
Hunt,  who  may  have  a  brief  Boston  visit 
before  leaving  for  Europe.  She  visited  us 
in  Coronado  a  few  years  ago  —  she  is  ever 
a  gay  and  good  companion.  I  still  enjoy 
the  happy  memories  of  our  wonderful  50th 
Reunion." 

Reva  Berman  Batt:  "Regret  exceedingly 
that  I  shall  not  be  coming  East.  My  oldest 
daughter  and  family  will  be  here  in  St. 
Louis  at  the  time  of  Reunion.  The  garden 
has  been  my  delight  this  year  and  I  am  so 
grateful    I    am    well    enough    to    work    out

for  which  I  am  so  very  thankful.  I  send 
much  love  to  all  of  1910." 

Mildred  Snyder  Grant:  "One  of  my  Five 
(grandsons)  is  always  in  need  of  a  sweater 
—  or  their  mothers  need  a  dress.  Must 
confess  knitting  is  my  hobby.  Last  year  I 
shared  in  the  honors  of  my  50th  Anni- 
versary of  our  graduation  at  Newcomb 
College,  and  also  as  a  charter  member  of 
our  chapter  of  Kappa  Alpha  Theta.  I  still 
substitute  as  a  day  assistant  to  a  house- 
mother in  a  dormitory  of  168  girls  at  New- 
comb.  Will  think  of  you  all  on  June  12. 
Let's  plan  to  have  our  60th  in  New  Or- 
leans !  How  about  it  ?  ?  Love  to  each  of 
you." 

Marian  Halstead  Fenton:  "Sorry  not  to 
be  with  you  on  the  12th.  Will  not  have 
returned  to  California  from  a  trip  to  the 
Orient  —  50th  wedding  anniversary  cele- 
bration." 

Marion  Hale  Bottomley:  "My  doctors  ad- 
vise I  do  not  attempt  the  trip  to  Auburn- 
dale.  My  daughter  Anne  and  family  spent 
a  week  at  Stowe  in  February  —  enjoyed  a 
visit  with  them.  Mary  (Lasell  '42)  is  Re- 
corder at  the  University  of  Vermont.  Hope

Glastonbury  (Conn.),  and  on  to  Fairfield  to 
be  with  Anne  and  the  grandchildren.  Love 
to  all  —  have  a  happy  time."

Elizabeth  Brandow  Trumbull  writes:  "Since 
I960,  when  I' retired  from  my  position  at 
Eastern  Michigan  University,  I  have  been 
living  with  a  friend  in  my  home  in  Cleve- 
land Heights.  Enjoy  frequent  meetings  with 
Helen  Ferry  Babcock  in  nearby  Lakewood." 


1914 

From  Dorothy  Hartshorn  Underwood: 
"The  1914  Round  Robin  has  arrived,  and 
before  I  send  it  along  to  Ruby  Newcomb 
McCorkindale,  I'll  make  notes  from  a  few  ] 
of  enclosed  letters.  Incidentally,  Ruby  and  , 
husband  spent  a  month  in  Florida  last  win- 
ter; visited  Alleda  Burnett  Arneson  at  her 
charming  apartment.  One  of  Ruby's  sons- 
in-law,  an  Episcopal  minister,  is  on  a  grant 
tour  to  India  and  will  resume  his  teaching 
duties  at  Carleton  College  in  the  fall.  I 
met  his  wife,  Charlotte,  and  Ruby's  daugh 
ter-in-law,  Louise,  at  a  Northfield  Confer- 
ence early  this  summer. 

"Charlotte  Swartwout  Quackenbush  wrote 
of  a  cold  winter  in  Port  Jervis.  Her  hus- 
band has  not  been  too  well,  but  we  trust 
the  summer's  sunshine  will  bring  fast  re- 
covery.

"Mary  Bingaman  and  sister  Katharine 
(Bingaman  Heron  '15)  are  together  in  Kath- 
arine's big  home.  They  considered  smaller 
quarters,  but  find  it  difficult  to  change. 
Having  spent  weeks  this  spring  cleaning  47 
years  of  accumulation  from  my  attic,  I 
hope  to  inspire  Mary.  Among  the  many 
'treasures,'  I  discovered  a  number  of  Lasell 
mementos. 

"Myra  Eby  Craighead  enjoyed  a  winter's 
vacation  in  Florida;  she  too  visited  Alleda. 

"Ruth  Davis  Giller's  mother  died  last 
winter.  Ruth  has  had  to  dispose  of  the 
Houston  home,  which  has  always  been  so 
vital  a  part  of  her  life.  Carolyn  Moore 
enclosed  a  newspaper  picture  and  account 
of  Ruth's  son,  Brig.  Gen.  Edward  P.  Giller, 
who  was  in  Duluth  for  the  commissioning 
of  Air  Force  R.O.T.C.  cadets. 

"Alleda  Burnett  Arneson's  letter  was 
filled  with  thanks  at  seeing  her  many  La- 
sell  classmates  an-1  friends. 

"Lena  Vee  Kelley  Stone  spends  the  win- 
ters in  Arizona  near  her  son  and  family. 
En  route  to  Reading  (Michigan)  she  visits 
her  daughters. 

"Mary  Quick  Dean  and  Harry  enjoyed 
an  early  spring  vacation  in  Phoenix  and  on 
to  Glendale,  California.  On  the  homeward 
trip  they  spent  several  days  in  Muncie,  In- 
diana. 

"My  roommate,  Marcia  Fogg  Moore, 
spends  her  time  —  as  do  most  of  us  — 
with  family,  church  and  town  activities.  She 
and  Bob  are  happy  to  know  that  their  son 
and  his  family  are  soon  to  return  to  Saco. 

"As  for  the  Underwoods  —  our  son,  his 
wife  and  four  children  joined  us  in  Jaf- 
frey  for  the  Fourth  of  July  weekend. 
Deborah,  her  husband  and  the  two  little 
girls  are  living  in  Antwerp,  Belgium  where 
Bob  is  opening  a  branch  of  the  First  City 
Bank  of  New  York.  They  loved  Brussels, 
where  we  visited  them  last  spring,  and  I  am 
sure  they  will  be  happy  in  Antwerp.  We 
hope  to  visit  them  there  this  fall." 

1915 

Greetings  1915-ers!  !  ! 

How  we  did  wish  that  each  of  you 
might  have  been  with  us  on  the  perfect 
June  day  when  we  met  for  our  Golden 
Reunion.  Auburndale  never  did  look  pret- 
tier with  the  roses  and  flowering  shrubs 
bursting  with  color.  We  met  at  Winslow 
Hall  and  what  a  talk-fest  we  had;  Madeline 
Farmer  Ryder  x-'15,  Ada  Patterson,  Evelina 
Perkins,  Gladys  Wilkes  McCutchen  and  I 
(N.W.C.).  We  were  disappointed  that 
Elizabeth  Beach  Bierer,  Myrtle  Brix  Spang- 
ler  and  Veda  Ferguson  Purdy  were  unable 
to  keep  their  plans  about  coming  but  were 
delighted  to  have  Mary  Quick  Dean  and 
Helen  Rollins  Fisher,  both  of  1914,  with  us. 


After    Luncheon   —   June   12,    1965 

Ada      Patterson      '15,      Gladys     Wilkes 

McCutchen  '15,  Nell  Woodward  Collins 

'15  and    Mary  Quick   Dean   '14 


The  luncheon,  given  in  the  President's 
home  (you  may  remember  Miss  Bishop's 
home  across  Woodland  Road  from  Gardner) 
was  presided  over  by  the  acting  President, 
Dean  June  Babcock,  and  by  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Wilder  Smith,  Trustees  of  the  College. 
Needless  to  say,  the  table  was  attractive, 
the  food  delicious  and  all  of  us  enjoyed 
every  minute.  Three  1910  girls  joined  us, 
Julia  Crafts  Sheridan,  Margherita  Dike  Hall- 
berg,  and  Cornelia  Stone.  We  were  sorry 
that  poor  health  forced  Dr.  Tewksbury  to 
resign  this  spring,  we  missed  him  and  his 
charming  wife.  We  extend  to  them  our 
warmest  wishes  for  the  return  of  good 
health  and  contentment. 

Although  I  was  unable  to  attend  the 
Alumnae  Banquet,  I  learned  that  "Happy 
Birthday"  was  sung  to  our  Pat.  Madeline 
presented  our  Class  gift  to  the  Lasell 
Alumnae  Building  Fund  - —  a  check  for 
$325.00  —  with  a  note  that  a  previous 
gift  from  one  of  our  members  had  been 
credited  to  our  Class.  Then  Gladys  read  a 
short  poem  written  by  Olive  Higgins  Prou- 
ty  on  the  occasion  of  her  50th  reunion  at 
Smith  College. 

AFTER  SEVENTY 

Pamper  the  body,  prod  the  soul; 

Accept  limitations  but  play  a  role. 

Withdraw  from  the  front  but  stay  in  the 
fight; 

Avoid  isolation:  keep  in  sight. 

Beware  reminiscing  except  to  a  child. 

To    forgetting    proper   names    be    reconciled. 

Despise  not  solitude  —  let  no  one  con- 
done; 

Cultivate  interest  enjoyed  alone. 

Refrain  from  loquacity,  be  crisp  and  con- 
cise; 

And  regard  self-pity  as  a  cardinal  vice! 

Now  for  news  of  us  all  as  gleaned  from 
the  questionnaires: 

Irene    Ball    Sill    had  hoped    to    come    to 

Reunion  but  was  called  to  Pittsburgh  where

her  daughter's  husband  was  seriously  ill 
and  Rene  was;  much  needed.  Elizabeth 
Beach  Bierer's  painful  attack  of  bursitis 
prevented  her  from  coming.  She  had 
planned  to  be  the  house  guest  of  her  sis- 
ter-in-law, Ruth  Coulter  Bierer  '12,  in  Wa- 
ban.  Ida  Beane  Rice  wrote  "The  usual  ac- 
tivities of  an  enlarging  family.  Church  and 
League  of  Women  Voters  and  other  com- 
mittee work  of  the  long-ago  is  past,  en- 
tirely gone  now  and  for  about  16  years 
have  been  working  as  a  Volunteer  for  the 
Rehabilitation  of  Women  during  their  prison 
term  and  after  their  release."  Ida  was  in- 
strumental in  providing  a  "Half -Way 
House"  for  these  same  women  and  she 
continues  to  do  a  wonderful  job  in  help- 
ing those  less  fortunate.  Katharine  Bing- 
aman  Heron  was  busy  with  many  house 
guests  and  had  to  give  up  all  plans  of 
joining  us. 

It  was  good  to  hear  from  Doris  Brien 
Tamm  but  sorry  not  to  see  her.  Myrtle 
Brix  Spangler  had  made  reservations  to  be 
with  us  but  was  in  Virginia  attending  the 
graduation  of  her  two  granddaughters 
earlier  that  week,  so  it  is  understandable 
that  her  energy  gave  out.  Catherine  Carter 
Rasbach  planned  on  a  trip  to  Michigan  in 
June  and  hoped  to  see  Margrethe  Bauman 
while  there.  Dorothy  Dale  Smith  x-'15 
wrote  "I  get  much  pleasure  out  of  attend- 
ing the  Lasell  Club  of  Southern  California 
at  the  March  luncheon  and  meeting  and 
also  the  informal  party  usually  held  in  the 
home  of  one  of  the  girls.  I  moved  from 
West  Hartford,  "Connecticut  to  California 
in  1956,  having  lost  my  husband  in  1954. 
Two  sisters  live  here:  Martha  Dale  Loomis 
x-'09  and  Laura  Dale  Wood  x-'05  both 
Lasell  "girls".  I  attended  Lasell  in  the 
fall  of  1912  for  just  the  one  year,  but  I 
still  think  of  1915  as  my  class."  Florence 
Evans  Valpey  sent  her  best  wishes  to  all 
who  attended  our  reunion.  She  was  so 
disappointed  about  not  being  able  to  join 
us.     Madeline    Farmer    Ryder    x-'15,     our 


Reunion  Co-Chr.,  certainly  is  a  faithful 
Lasell  girl,  giving  a  Silver  Tea  every  year 
to  help  build  the  Alumnae  Fund  and  I 
am  sure  she  is  'equally  active  in  DAR 
affairs.  Veda  Ferguson  Purdy  had  a  fall 
just  before  she  planned  to  start  for  Lasell 
that  sent  her  to  the  hospital  instead.  We 
are  grateful  that  at  least  there  were  no 
broken  bones  but  so  sorry  for  the  painful 
mishap.  Just  the  day  before  our  Lasell 
"Day",  a  greeting  came  from  Katherine 
Hoag  Norgren:  "Would  dearly  love  to  be 
with  you  for  I  know  I  would  enjoy  every 
minute  just  as  I  did  in  1950.  —  Norg 
and  I  will  celebrate  our  48th  anniversary 
on  June  12th.  —  Do  have  a  wonderful  time." 

Frances  Johnsen  Edwards  was  the  first 
one  to  return  her  blank,  along  with  her 
check:  "My  daughter  and  family  are  mov- 
ing from  Newport,  Rhode  Island  to  Locust 
Valley,  Long  Island  where  her  husband 
will  be  a  surgeon  at  the  Glen  Cove 
Hospital.  No  news  about  me.  Best  re- 
gards." Sara  Lane  Wilton  x-'15,  having  lost 
her  husband  last  fall,  did  not  feel  up  to 
going  with  me  to  the  reunion  as  she  did 
five  years  ago.  Ethel  Murray  Kuykendall 
wrote  that  although  her  husband,  who  has 
been  seriously  ill,  is  doing  very  well  now, 
she  thought  it  best  not  to  undertake  a  trip 
east  at  present.  Ida  Laubenstein  Moyer's 
husband  wrote  such  a  friendly  note  telling 
us  that  Ida  is  not  well  enough  to  attend 
our  50th.  We  trust  Ida  soon  will  be  much 
better.  Bernice  Marx  Rosenholtz  wrote 
that  she  could  not  leave  her  husband  as  he 
has  been  in  a  hospital  for  some  time. 
There  again,  we  trust  all  will  be  well 
soon.  Clara  Paton  Suhlke  who  had  hoped 
to  join  us  sent  greetings  to  all.  We  were 
delighted  to  have  a  phone  call  from  Ada 
Patterson  one  afternoon  saying  she  had 
decided  to  give  herself  a  birthday  present 
of  a  trip  back  to  Lasell  for  our  50th. 
Pat  is  her  jolly  old  self  and  we  did  enjoy 
having  her  with  us.  Vilette  Peck  Crawshaw 
had  not  recovered  sufficiently  enough  from 
an  operation  earlier  this  year  to  make  the 
trip  to  Auburndale. 

Evelina  Perkins,  in  her  wheelchair,  with  a 
pretty  young  girl  attendant  —  daughter  of 
one  of  Perk's  Sunday  School  pupils,  was 
just  as  good  to  see  as  ever.  Not  only  did 
Perk  come  for  the  luncheon  but  stayed 
through  for  Alumnae  Dinner.  Perk  keeps 
busy  with  different  kinds  of  hand  work  and 
is  very  happy  in  the  Deaconess  Home  in 
Concord.  We  were  glad  to  receive  a  note 
from  Emma  Robinson  Petrie.  She  is  Presi- 
dent of  New  Haven  (Conn.)  Philatelic 
Society  and  Historian  of  the  American 
Legion  Auxiliary.  Martha  Schumann  Lau- 
benstein, like  the  rest  of  us,  is  busy  with 
the  comings  and  goings  of  children  and 
grandchildren  and  consequently  does  not 
have  time  enough  left  over  to  attend  her

own  affairs.  Doris  Waller  O'Hara  was  to 
have  house  guests  just  at  our  reunion  time 
and  so  was  unable  to  join  us.  Genevieve 
Watkins  Stecker  sent  regrets  but  said  she 
and  her  husband  are  well  and  happy.  She 
hears  from  our  Peg  Bauman  and  Elizabeth 
Hazelet  Weis  x-'15  (of  Clark  Cottage  our 
Junior  year). 

Maude  Wetherbee  Wakefield  regretted 
the  fact  that  no  longer  are  there  any 
trains  from  northern  Vermont  down  to 
Boston  and  that  she  was  not  sturdy  enough 
to  take  the  long  trip  by  bus.  "It  beats  all 
how  one  can  so  fall  apart  between  their 
65th  and  70th  year ! ! !"  "Live  alone  but 
take  part  in  community  activities  when  I 
can  do  my  part  at  home,  telephoning  and 
writing  —  I  no  longer  have  the  "pep"  to 
try  to  turn  the  world  over."  Gladys  Wilkes 
McCutchen  writes  that  her  activities  are 
closely  linked  with  those  of  her  husband 
and  family.  As  heir  husband  is  a  retired 
minister  who  is  constantly  asked  to  fill  in 
vacancies  in  other  churches,  both  Gladys 
and  Dr.  McCutchen  have  scarcely  a  free 
moment.  (On  their  way  home  after  re- 
union my  husband  and  I  were  delighted  to 
have  them  with  us  over  night.  A  wonder- 
ful couple  dedicated  to  a  life  of  Christian 
service!)  Gladys'  and  Lyndon's  great- 
granddaughter  was  born  in  1964.  To  com- 
plete the  roster  of  1915,  Nell  Woodward 
Collins  wants  to  thank  all  members  for 
their  response  and  interest  in  our  50th 
Reunion.  It  was  a  joy  to  be  able  to  visit 
with  so  many  of  you  via  the  mail.  I  know 
you1  will  rejoice  with  me  when  I  tell  you 
we  found  Lasell  buildings  and  grounds  in 
such  fine  condition  and  attractive  as  well. 
I  do  wish  you  might  have  seen  Auburndale 
—  it  was  lovely  that  day. 

Before  I  wish  you  well,  I  want  to  thank 
Marjorie  MacClymon,  Class  of  1932,  our 
Alumnae  Secretary,  for  her  untiring  efforts 
on  our  behalf  in  making  everything  run 
as  smoothly  as  possible  during  all  the 
months  of  preparation  as  well  as  the  actual 
days  of  reunion. 

Best  wishes  to  you  all, 
Nell. 
P.S.  In  late  June  we  were  informed  of  the

Dorothy  Ely  Bigham.  Her  husband,  Dr. 
Reginald  B.  Bigham,  passed  away  in  July

The  Class  extends  sincere  sympathy  to 
Harriette  Case  Bidwell  and  to  Julia  C. 
Case  '32.  Their  father,  Mr.  Charles  Pitman 
Case,  died  on  March  2,  1965.  Born  in 
Simsbury  in  1870,  Mr.  Case  was  the  oldest 
resident  of  Simsbury,  the  oldest  member 
of  the  Simsbury  Methodist  Church,  and  the 
oldest  marketman  in  greater  Hartford. 

Phyllis  Rafferty  Shoemaker  is  "still  active

The  Class  extends  sympathy  to  Claire 
Parker  Everett,  whose  mother,  Mrs.  Tracey 
E.  Parker,  died  suddenly  on  February  4, 
1965. 

Early  in  February  Louise  Orr  Daniels 
"ran  into"  Iverna  Birdsall  Lutze  '22  at 
the  Casa  Mar  Siesta  Key,  Florida.  Esther 
Palmer  Dwinell  '24  and  husband  were 
guests  at  Louise's  Winchendon  home  in  the 
late  summer. 

Doris  Crawford  Clovis  '20,  sister  of 
Helen  Crawford  '22,  enjoyed  a  "chance" 
Reunion  meeting  with  Claire  Parker  Ever- 
ett in  Daytona  Beach. 

1924 

Marguerite  "Jimmie"  Murray  Keene  re- 
members: "That  was  a  Great  Reunion  in 
'64.  What  our  class  lacked  in  numbers,  we 
made  up  in  enthusiasm.  We  are  so  very 
proud  of  'Honey'  Perry,  a  Trustee  of  the 
College.  Make  plans  —  right  now  —  to 
join  us  all  in  1969 !" 

Adele  Bigham  Nelson  proudly  announces 
the  arrival  of  the  latest  grandson.  "To 
Diane  Nelson  Cowan  '51,  a  fourth  child,

In  the  light  of  the  current  controversy 
concerning  attendance  or  nonattendance 
at  college  reunions  —  I  believe  twelve  stal- 
warts of  the  class  of  1925  would  vote  in 
the  affirmative.  After  40  years  all  of  us 
could  pick  up  and  enjoy  some  of  our 
youthful  nostalgia,  embellishing  it  with 
experiences  and  bits  of  color  woven  into 
our  succeeding  years. 

The  old  and  new  campus  was  really  at 
its  height  in  natural  beauty  and  Lasell 
should  be  very  proud  of  it.  We  were 
treated  to  a  tour  of  some  of  the  lovely  old 
homes  and  property  which  Lasell  has 
acquired  in  recent  years.  Miss  Beede  of  the 
class  of  1921,  who  has  been  at  Lasell  for 
many  years,  kindly  "toured"  us.  We  were 
most  impressed  with  the  fact  that  much  of 
the  original  charm  and  beauty  of  the  old 
blends  with  the  new  in  the  development 
of  a  larger  and  better  educational  institu- 
tion. 

Saturday  afternoon  our  group  enjoyed  a 
delightful  and  delicious  sojourn  at  the 
lovely  home  of  Martha  Fish  Holmes.  We 
spent  some  time  with  the  photographer 
getting  class  pictures  "at  the  right  angle". 
We  were  fortunate  in  having  replies  to  the 
questionnaire  from  about  half  of  our  class 
and,  in  subsequent  LEAVES,  I  will  bring 
some  of  these  messages  and  highlights  to 
you.  Annette  Durkee  Harvey  thoughtfully 
sent  a  telegram. 

Saturday  night  at  the  Reunion  dinner, 
with  the  help  of  the  still  talented  and 
enthusiastic  Bobby  Cushing  Jenkins,  we 
put  on  our  skit  —  a  lively  bit  of  harmony 
with  very  appropriate  words,  to  the  tune 
of  "Hello,  Dolly". 

Our  happy  gathering  ended  with  a  cheer- 
ful and  gay  breakfast  at  the  local  Holiday 
Inn  with  Dorothy  Hagadorn  Taylor  and 
her  nice  husband  as  host  and  hostess.  Dot 
is  still  blessed  with  that  kindly  twinkle 
and  dry  humor.

1926 

The  engagement  of  Miss  Maris  Jacque- 
line Bloom  to  Mr.  Donald  Stuart  Logan  of 
Springfield,  Ohio,  has  been  announced  by 
her  father,  Mr.  Elmer  J.  Bloom  of  Peoria, 
111.,  and  Scituate,  Mass. 

Miss  Bloom,  also  the  daughter  of  the 
late  Mrs.  Mariesta  Howland  Bloom,  was 
graduated  from  the  Ferry  Hall  School  and 
in  1961  from  Smith  College.  Mr.  Logan 
attended  the  Pingry  School  and  was  grad- 
uated from  the  Hill  School  and  in  1962 
from  Bowdoin  College.  He  is  the  grandson 
of  the  late  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Penfield  Mower 
(Dr.  Sara  M.  Jordan)  of  Boston  and 
Marblehead. 

A  late  summer  wedding  is  planned. 

From  the  Bahamas  comes  this  note  from 
Natalie  Albury  Boswell:  "Diana  Cole,  also 
a  resident  of  Nassau,  is  now  enrolled  at 
Lasell.  Do  hope  she  enjoys  the  college 
days  as  much  as  I  did." 

Margaret  Anderson  Gage  writes:  "Have 
had  two  recent  letters  from  Madeline  Roth 
White  —  we  are  looking  forward  to  our 
40th  Reunion  at  Lasell.  After  an  early 
summer  vacation  trip  to  Canada  and 
Alaska,  I  hope  to  have  a  get-together  in 
Los  Angeles  with  Elinor  Barclay  Reehl 
and  Frances  Vail  Pollock  x-'26,  who  is  a 
house  mother  at  a  Nursing  School  in 
Orange,  California. 

"I  enclose  an  article  which  appeared  in 
the  Winter  1965  issue  of  the  Alpha  Phi 
Quarterly." 

Careers  after  Fifty 

Sooner  or  later,  grandmothership  is 
bestowed  upon  most  women  —  the  age,  if 
not  the  actual  status.  The  decision  must  be 
made  as  to  how  to  fill  the  time  now  left 
by  children  grown  and  gone  their  ways. 

To  Alpha  Phi  Margaret  Anderson  Gage, 
T-Oregon,  the  answer  was  easy:  return  to 
school  and  earn  a  belated  elementary  teach- 
ing credential  in  the  public  school  system 


At    Martha's    Luncheon 


of  California.  The  "where"  was  easy,  too: 
Sacramento  State  College,  where  husband 
Daniel  D.  Gage  is  a  professor  of  business. 
Now  since  1958  Margaret  has  been  a  full- 
time  kindergarten  teacher.  For  the  past 
two  years,  along  with  five  other  teachers 
from  different  districts  in  the  county,  she 
has  been  preparing  a  guide  book  for  kin- 
dergarten teachers. 

With  her  new  career  well  established, 
Margaret  discovered  another  challenge. 
Having  a  husband  who  likes  to  travel, 
summer  months  and  sabbaticals  are  spent  in 
different  parts  of  the  world.  Above  sight- 
seeing on  these  trips,  Dr.  Gage  ranks  a 
study  project  involving  the  countries 
visited,  from  which  he  develops  articles  in 
his  field.  Last  February  the  two  embarked 
on  a  four-month  overseas  trip,  with  the 
writing  project  this  time  concerning  the 
aluminum  and  bauxite  industry. 

Says  Margaret,  "This  time  I  was  no 
longer  just  a  gawking  tourist  tagging  along, 
but  a  teacher  on  no-pay  leave,  out  to 
learn  how  kindergartens  function  in  foreign 
lands."    She  continues: 

"Our  first  stop  was  Mandeville,  high  up 
in  the  cool  Jamaica  highlands,  where  the 
Manchester  Preparatory  School  (kinder- 
garten through  fourth  grade)  was  visited. 
I  was  asked  to  teach  them  some  American 
songs  in  a  general  assembly.  Though  my 
first  song  about  cowboys  and  Indians  was 
intended  for  first  graders,  both  younger  and 
older  children  were  eager  to  learn  it  too. 
Most  of  the  students  were  native  Jamaicans, 
along  with  an  interspersing  of  Chinese, 
Australians,  South  Americans,  English  and 
Canadians  —  all  seemingly  well  inte- 
grated. 

"Naples,  Italy,  was  the  next  layover, 
where  I  inspected  one  of  the  newer  public 
schools.  Here  the  girls  and  boys  were  in 
separate  classes,  but  both  sexes  wore  simi- 
lar school  garb  —  a  kind  of  blue  smock  or 
butcher's  apron  that  hung  down  to  their 
knees  —  not  very  functional  for  active 
play.  There  seem  to  be  no  teacher's  fed- 
eration or  building  inspectors  in  Naples, 
for  the  teachers  work  four  hours  longer 
than  we  do,  in  unheated  buildings  where 
buckets  are  put  out  to  catch  water  from 
leaky  roofs.  Although  my  Italian  is  nil, 
Neapolitans  and  especially  the  little  ones 
love  music,  which  needs  no  English  trans- 
lation. 

"In  Athens,  Greece,  the  old  saying,  It  is 
all  Greek  to  me  was  never  more  apropos. 
The  only  Greek  I  ever  learned  was  just 
enough  to  decipher  fraternity  symbols. 
The  sole  conclusion  I  came  to  was  that 
this  Greek  school  was  decidedly  superior  to 
the  one  in  Naples. 

"Another  on  the  list  was  a  kindergarten 
in    Karlsruhe,    Germany,    operated    by    the 


18 


LASELL  LEAVES 


Evangelical  church  which  happened  to  be 
across  from  our  hotel.  The  youngsters 
were  well-clothed,  the  'madchens'  in  con- 
ventional dresses  fronted  with  pinafores, 
and  the  'bubschens'  in  leather  or  velour 
shorts  with  suspenders.  My  limited  Ger- 
man came  in  handy  in  greeting  them  and 
asking  '  their  names,  although  the  teacher 
could  speak  some  English.  The  play  yard 
was  small  and  the  classrooms  austere.  The 
teacher  was  assisted  by  an  older  woman  in 
a  Quaker-like  bonnet  who  seemed  to  func- 
tion as  a  practical  nurse.  Not  a  bad  idea 
for  some  of  our  over-pupiled  teachers. 

"In  all  the  schools  visited,  and  I  am 
citing  only  a  few,  I  saw  a  gross  lack  of 
equipment  and  instructional  materials,  with 
the  exception  of  one  in  Oslo,  Norway. 
Here  was  everything  in  an  ideal  situation 
for  the  kindergarten  teacher.  The  school 
was  government-operated  and  open  only  to 
children  of  working  parents. 

"I  am  now  back  home,  back  to  the 
classroom  and  back  to  two  conclusions. 
The  first  is  that  there  is  opportunity  for  a 
second  career  after  fifty  for  those  who  want 
it  and  will  look  around  for  it.  And  sec- 
ondly, the  college  girl,  maybe  your  daugh- 
ter, should  couple  her  cultural  courses  to  a 
practical  program  of  study  that  might  pay 
off  later  if  she  were  suddenly  thrown  on 
her  own  resources  or  when  she  becomes 
a  grandmother  with  time  on  her  hands." 

1927 

In  a  February  issue  of  The  Alexandria 
(Va.)  Gazette,  correspondent  Lou  Propst 
writes:  "A  large  group  of  friends  and  art 
lovers  gathered  at  the  formal  opening  of 
an  exhibit  of  paintings  by  Mary  Etta 
(Williams)  Sharpe,  especially  well  known 
for  her  water  colors,  as  well  as  other  media. 
The  show  is  taking  place  through  Feb- 
ruary at  the  Old  Town  Art  Gallery. 

"The  exhibit,  which  was  enthusiastically 
received,  was  made  up  of  pictures  chosen 
by  the  artist  from  those  which  have  been 
in  shows  in  Washington,  Virginia,  Mas- 
sachusetts and  New  Hampshire.  In  the 
shows  many  of  them  received  awards,  in- 
cluding seven  first  prizes  and  12  second. 
Several  also  have  been  popular  in  Rich- 
mond's Virginia  Museum  Loan-own  Ser- 
vices program. 

"Mrs.  Sharpe's  subjects  include  two 
paintings  with  a  religious  theme,  many 
glorifying  the  beauties  of  nature  and 
architecture  in  Virginia,  New  Hampshire, 
Charleston,  Georgetown  and  even  Alaska. 
The  most  popular,  perhaps,  judging  from 
audience  reaction,  is  'Twilight  Mood',  a 
Philadelphia  scene  in  watercolor,  which  has 
won  several  prizes,  including  first  place  in 
the  18th  Metropolitan  Art  Show  at  the 
Smithsonian  Institute. 


"The  artist's  talents  have  been  developed 
by  her  education  and  training,  notably  in 
the  Parsons  School  of  Fine  and  Applied 
Arts  in  New  York  City,  followed  by  extra 
study  in  oils  under"  well-known  artists.  She  is 
a  member  of  the  Society  of  Washington 
Artists,  the  Washington  Watercolor  Club, 
the  New  Hampshire  Art  Association,  the 
American  Art  League,  the  Virginia  Mu- 
seum of  Fine  Arts,  and  the  National  League 
of  American  Pen  Women,  which  she  has 
served  as  branch  president,  state  president, 
mid-Atlantic  regional  chairman  and  assist- 
ant National  treasurer. 

"She  also  has  taught  adult  and  young 
people's  classes  in  watercolor  at  the  Abbott 
Art  School,  and  during  the  war  worked 
for  the  AWVS,  and  in  Red  Cross  arts  and 
skills  at  Mount  Alto  and  Water  Reed 
Hospitals." 

1929 

Ronnie  Cornell  Cannon  and  Alice  Pratt 
Brown  represented  the  Class  of  1929  on 
April  2  -  3,  1965  at  the  17th  Annual 
Alumnae  Council  Session,  where  future 
plans  for  Lasell's  expansion  were  discussed. 
Alice  and  husband  had  just  returned  from 
their  annual  golfing  vacation  in  Florida. 

On  Thursday,  April  29,  Conkie  Chalmers 
Harlow  drove  out  from  Boston  to  the 
Wellesley  Inn  where  she  was  joined  by 
Harriet  Hewins  Sanderson,  Marion  King- 
don  Farnum,  Dorothy  Hayward  Sutherland, 
Verta  MacLeod  Haines  and  Ronnie  Cornell 
Cannon.  Conkie  was  enjoying  her  duties  as 
Head  Resident  of  Boston  University's 
Shelton  Hall.  The  new  dormitory  accom- 
modates 462  students;  Conkie  is  supervisor 
of  a  staff  of  ten;  in  addition  has  been 
taking  courses  towards  a  Master's  Degree. 
With  daughter  Demaris,  she  spent  the 
Easter  vacation  at  North  Dakota  Air  Force 
Base.  Daughter  Frances,  a  member  of  the 
Class  of  1965  at  Pembroke  College,  will 
continue  her  studies  at  the  University  of 
Lyons,  France,  in  the  fall.  Conkie  and 
Frances  sail  from  Montreal  in  late  August; 
visit  friends  and  relatives  in  Scotland;  and 
classes  for  them  both  commence  on  Oc- 
tober 15th.   A  great  adventure! 

We  all  missed  Zip  Daggett  Wilson  at  the 
delightful  Wellesley  Reunion.  She  and 
husband  Don  combined  business  with  va- 
cation —  he  was  attending  an  I.B.M. 
conference  in  Miami. 

Harriet  and  Page  Sanderson  were  flying 
to  London  the  very  next  day  for  a  tour 
of  England,  Scotland  and  Ireland.  (Harry 
reports  a  wonderful  vacation  despite  the 
over-abundance  of  rain.) 

Ronnie  and  Maddie  Cannon  sailed  on 
May  1  for  a  26-day  cruise  to  the  Caribbean 
via  the  Grace  Line's  Santa  Maria.  The 
trip  took  them  through  the  Panama  Canal

Mary   Etta   Williams   Sharpe   '27 


and  along  the  Pacific  coast  of  South  Amer- 
ica to  Lima,  Peru.  "This  was  one  of  our 
most  pleasant  vacations  —  shipboard  life 
on  The  Grace  Line  is  always  so  wonderful. 
We  cannot  say  enough  in  praise  of  the 
comfort  and  easygoing  informality  of  these 
great  new  ships  that  are  the  talk  of  the 
travel  world." 

Marion   Kingdon   Farnum   and    Dorothy 
Inett  Taylor  30  —  with  husbands  —  were 


looking  forward  to  a  10-day  holiday  in 
Antigua.  Dorothy  Hayward  Sutherland 
and  husband  planned  a  June  vacation  in 
Europe  —  with  emphasis  on  a  tour  of 
Germany. 

Now  that  we  local  folk  have  accounted 
for  ourselves,  how  about  more  of  you  let- 
ting us  in  on  some  of  your  secrets  ! ! !

Alice    Pratt    Brown    '29 

ORCHIDS:  HER  HOBBY  is  the  title  of 
a  feature  story  appearing  in  the  January 
3,  1965  issue  of  the  Sunday  Republican 
Magazine,  Waterbury,  Connecticut.  The 
editor  has  kindly  granted  permission  to 
reprint  this  fascinating  story  of  the  extra- 
curricular activity  of  Alice  Pratt  Brown. 
Credit  for  story  and  photos  is  extended  to 
Joseph  B.  Stephens  of  The  Republican's 
staff. 

Springtime's  warmth  and  fragrance  exist 
a  fraction  of  an  inch  away  from  winter's 
snow  and  ice  at  the  home  of  Mrs.  William 
W.  Brown,  Crest  Rd.,  Middlebury.  All 
that  separates  them  is  the  glass  in  Mrs. 
Brown's  l4-by-l4-foot  greenhouse. 

In  contrast  to  the  drab,  cold  outdoors, 
the  bright  interior  of  the  glass  enclosure 
is  lively  with  green,  growing  things,  inter- 
spersed with  the  color  of  fresh  blossoms. 
Most  of  the  blooms  are  orchids,  the 
fragile,  delicately-scented  flowers,  the 
beauty  of  which  is  strikingly  inconsistent 
with  the  coarse  stalks  and  the  thick, 
leathery  leaves  of  the  orchid  plant. 

Though  Mrs.  Brown  raises  some  geran- 
iums and  gardenias,  orchids  have  monop- 
olized her  interest  for  15  years,  ever  since 
she  began  raising  a  few  plants  in  her 
home.  Finally,  her  interest  in  the  flowers 
reached  greenhouse  proportions  and  the 
small  glass  building  is  filled  with  many 
varieties  of  orchid  plant. 

Though  most  people  regard  the  orchid  as 
an  exotic,  tropical  flower,  orchid  growers 
do  not.  "They  grow  almost  everywhere  in 
the  world"  Mrs.  Brown  said,  "as  far  north 
as  the  Arctic  Circle.  And  there  are  literally 
hundreds  of  shapes,  colors  and  sizes,  some 
as  tiny  as  a  fingernail  and  some  as  large  as 
a  child's  head." 


Nor  are  all  orchids  orchid  in  color. 
Their  color  range  is  as  great  as  their  geo- 
graphic range  and  includes  everything 
from  white  to  the  deepest  shades  of  red, 
blue,  yellow,  green,  purple  and  brown. 
One  of  Connecticut's  wild  orchids  is  the 
lady's  slipper.  It  is  an  example  of  an 
orchid  that  prefers  a  cool  climate. 

"Some  orchids  thrive  in  the  cold  rather 
than  the  heat."  Mrs.  Brown  said.  The 
varieties  that  she  raises  in  her  greenhouse 
are  those  that  grow  best  in  a  temperature 
that  varies  only  from  65  to  75  degrees. 
Ventilators  on  the  greenhouse  open  auto- 
matically when  the  temperature  inside  rises 
to  75  degrees  to  protect  the  plants  from 
burning.  The  heat  goes  on  when  the 
temperature  falls  to  65. 

Aside  from  giving  her  orchids  a  constant 
temperature  and  the  proper  humidity,  Mrs. 
Brown  does  little  else  for  her  plants. 

"You  can  kill  them  with  kindness,"  she 
explained.  "I  have  found  that  if  you  buy 
good  stock  and  simply  provide  it  with  the 
proper  environment,  the  result  is  satisfac- 
tory." 

Good  orchid  plants  cost  about  $25  each 
and  after  they  are  grown  they  may  be  di- 
vided to  form  more  plants.  Most  of  Mrs. 
Brown's  stock  comes  from  Mrs.  Daniel 
Caswell,  a  Florida  grower. 

Mrs.  Brown  has  never  attempted  to  de- 
velop her  own  orchid  varieties.  She  said 
the  care  and  time  involved  are  formidable. 
Seed  fertilization  requires  hypodermic 
needles,  completely  sterile  surroundings 
and  long  waiting  periods.  The  plant  de- 
veloped from  the  seed  may  not  produce  a 
blossom  for  seven  years.  "That's  too  long 
to  wait,"  said  Mrs.  Brown. 

Air  is  the  medium  that  brings  nourish- 
ment to  most  of  the  orchids  in  the  Middle- 
bury  greenhouse.  Some  of  the  plants  are 
unpotted  and  are  suspended  from  the  green- 
house roof,  their  long  roots  bunched  about 
a  twig  or  dangling  nearly  to  the  floor. 
"Most  of  the  food  that  nourishes  the  plant 
is  gathered  by  the  roots  from  moisture  in 
the  air,"  Mrs.  Brown  said.  With  that  in 
mind,  she  sprays  the  interior  regularly  but 
not  excessively  since  too  much  water  can 
have  an  adverse  effect  on  some  orchids. 
To  insure  a  good  air  supply  to  potted 
orchids,  the  holes  in  the  bottom  of  the 
pots  are  enlarged  and  in  addition  the  pots 
are  made  with  large  vertical  cuts  in  the 
sides. 

Though  Mrs.  Brown  has  lost  shipments 
of  orchid  plants  that  were  not  properly 
protected  or  cared  for  in  transit,  she  does 
not  regard  the  orchid  as  a  delicate  flower. 
"They  will  die  if  the  proper  temperature  is 
not  maintained  and  I  worry  about  power 
failures  during  the  ice  storms,"  she  said. 
Paradoxically,   once   an   orchid   blossom   is 


LASELL  LEAVES 


21 


picked,  it  seems  to  last  longer  if  kept 
refrigerated.  Blossoms  on  their  stems  may 
last  as  long  as  three  months. 

In  spite  of  her  involvement  with  orchids, 
Mrs.  Brown  has  never  entered  any  of  her 
plants  in  flower  shows.  She  is  a  member 
of  the  American  Orchid  Society  but  pursues 
orchid  culture  only  as  a  hobby  for  her  own 
personal  satisfaction. 

Like  most  hobbyists,  Mrs.  Brown  has 
acquired  a  library  devoted  to  her  avocation. 
Through  the  years  she  has  accumulated 
more  than  25  books  about  orchids  and 
orchid  culture.  In  addition,  orchids  have 
served  as  the  subjects  of  some  of  Mrs. 
Brown's  oil  paintings. 

1930 

The  Class  of  1930  had  a  truly  wonderful 
Reunion !  Missing,  however,  were  too  many 
of  you.  Please  make,  an  extra  effort  to  be 
with  us  at  the  40th. 

Taking  advantage  of  the  low-cost  over- 
night accommodations  on  campus  offered 
by  Lasell  Alumnae  Inc.,  Libby  Day  Cook,  a 
"new  home"  owner  at  Cape  Elizabeth, 
Maine  (11  Crescent  View  Avenue),  and  I 
shared  a  room  in  the  new  Woodland  dorm. 
Corinne  Cowdrey  Murray  joined  us  for  the 
Friday  evening  buffet,  and  spent  the  eve- 
ning. On  Saturday  morning  we  met  Dottie 
Meeker  Pearce  at  the  Winslow  Hall  Coffee 
Hour.  Dottie  now  spends  the  winters  in 
Sarasota,  Florida;  summers  at  the  Cape. 
Her  daughter,  Marilyn  Pearce  Schreiber 
'57,  is  living  in  St.  Paul,  Minnesota. 

At  our  luncheon,  held  at  the  Mills  Falls 
Restaurant,  we  met  Helen  Roberts  Holt, 
Eleanor  Raymond  Thomas  and  Helen  Jor- 
dan Cutler,  who  drove  together  from  Con- 
necticut. Soon  we  were  joined  by  Gege 
Gessner  Somers,  Phyllis  Jensen  Swenson, 
Marjorie  Magune  Curtis,  Corinne  Cowdrey 
Murray  and  Dot  Douglass  Moroso.  Be- 
tween courses,  pictures  of  children  and 
grandchildren  were  shown  with  great  pride. 
We  returned  to  "our"  room  at  Woodland, 
where  Gege  showed  movies  of  earlier  re- 
unions. 

We  enjoyed  a  visit  with  Miss  Elinor 
Hoag,  who  brought  us  up-to-date  with 
campus  activities.  Miss  Hoag  is  recover- 
ing from  a  recent  operation. 

"Mac"  McClelland  kindly  toured  us 
about  the  College;  the  highlight  of  the 
jaunt  was  a  visit  to  the  beautiful  home  of 
the  President. 

Phyllis,  Corinne,  Marjorie,  Libby  and  I 
represented  the  Class  at  Alumnae  Dinner, 
and  presented  our  Reunion  Gift  contribu- 
tion to  The  Alumnae  Fund.  If  any  of  you 
who  have  not  contributed  care  to  send  a 
check,  please  direct  it  to  The  Alumnae 
Office  and  request  it  be  added  to  The  1930 
Reunion    Gift. 


We  were  all  saddened  to  learn  that 
Corinne's  father,  Mr.  Irving  Cowdrey, 
passed  away  on  Sunday,  June  the  13th.  We 
extend  sincere  sympathy  to  her  and  to  her 
sister,  Barbara  Cowdrey  Alexik  '32.

By  Alice  C.  Higgins 
(Staff  Writer) 

A  warm  smile,  a  gracious  manner  and 
a  keen  sense  of  humor  are  things  that  one 
first  notices  and  remembers  about  Miss 
Esther  Gilbert  of  Norwich,  Groton  Long 
Point  and  New  York  City.  Miss  Gilbert 
works  in  New  York  for  the  American 
Friends  Service  Committee,  a  Quaker  or- 
ganization, as  director  of  the  international 
students  and  visitors  program  in  the  met- 
ropolitan area. 

Daughter  of  Walter  Gilbert  of  23  Ox 
Hill  Rd.,  and  a  native  of  Norwich  she  went 
to  Lasell  Junior  College,  Auburndale,  Mass., 
following  graduation  from  the  Norwich 
Free  Academy.  At  Lasell  she  majored  in 
secretarial  subjects  and  minored  in  sociol- 
ogy and  journalism. 

She  reports  that  her  first  job  was  in  the 
toy  department  at  Cranston's  which  she  en- 
joyed especially  at  Christmas  time  when 
families  and  children  came  in  to  select 
gifts.  Then  came  a  move  to  Hartford  where 
she  worked  as  a  secretary  in  the  Marine 
Department  of  the  Travelers  Insurance  Co., 
followed  by  a  trip  to  Europe.  Her  next 
move  was  to  Boston,  where  she  worked  as 
a  service  representative  for  the  New  En- 
gland Telephone  Co. 

Volunteer  work  with  the  Boston  chapter 
of  the  American  Red  Cross  eventually  led 
to  her  becoming  a  staff  member  of  the 
national  organization.  She  worked  as  a 
field  representative  in  Connecticut  helping 
chapters  to  convert  to  a  wartime  program. 
This  she  calls  "a  very  rewarding  experience 
working  as  I  was  with  chapter  staff  and 
volunteers  in  developing  such  services  as 
nurses  aides,  motor  corps,  home  nursing 
and  a  variety  of  programs  relating  to  the 
armed  forces." 

Next  for  Miss  Gilbert  came  a  two-year 
overseas    assignment    with    the    Red    Cross

which  took  her  to  the  South  Pacific, 
Australia,  New  Guinea,  the  Philippines 
and  Japan.  Her  work  as  an  assistant  field 
director  included  tracing  servicemen  whose 
families  back  home  were  in  difficulty,  usual- 
ly a  serious  illness.  Emergency  leaves  had 
to  be  arranged  through  their  commanding 
officers  and  schedules  planned.  One  inci- 
dent she  remembers  particularly  took  place 
in  Tacloban,  Leyte,  where  she  was  able  to 
arrange  leave  for  an  officer  whose  wife  was 
seriously  ill  at  Uncas-on-Thames  Sanitar- 
ium. Then  she  continues,  "Arriving  in 
Norwich  the  officer  called  on  my  family 
and  stayed  with  them  during  his  leave. 
Because  of  security  reasons  I  was  not  able 
to  tell  my  family  in  a  letter  where  I  was 
and  it  was  gratifying  that  the  officer  was 
able  to  tell  them  and  describe  what  life 
was  like  in  that  part  of  the  Philippines. 
(His  wife  recovered,   I   am  glad   to  say.)" 

Being  needed  and  used  to  the  limit  of 
one's  capabilities  and  making  friends  with 
people  from  all  parts  of  the  world  made 
this  an  unforgettable  experience.  Remem- 
bered in  sharp  contrast  are  the  places  and 
flashes  of  beauty  such  as  lovely  Australian 
beaches,  exotic  tropical  plants,  dramatic 
Mt.  Fujiyama  and  a  flock  of  red-throated 
white  cockatoos  on  a  coral  air  strip  as 
against  pictures  and  memories  of  war's 
desolation,  terrible  loss  of  life,  disruption 
and  corruption. 

The  American  Friends  Service  Commit- 
tee, for  which  she  is  now  working,  she 
describes  as  "a  Quaker  organization  which 
attempts  to  relieve  human  suffering  and  to 
seek  non-violent  solutions  to  conflicts — 
personal,  national  and  international."  It 
has  worldwide  programs  of  relief  and  re- 
habilitation, social  and  technical  assistance, 
international  workcamps  and  seminars  for 
students  and  diplomats.  In  addition  region- 
al offices  in  the  United  States  carry  on 
programs  to  encourage  local  participation 
in  projects  organized  to  create  opportuni- 
ties for  service  and  social  action  and  dis- 
cussion of  national  and  international  issues 
related  to  such  subjects  as  civil  rights  and 
our  government's  role  in  Vietnam. 

She  thoroughly  enjoys  her  work  which 
involves  planning  off-campus  activities  for 
approximately  a  thousand  foreign  students 
each  academic  year.  Miss  Gilbert  works 
with  a  committee,  staff  and  volunteers  and 
in  cooperation  with  universities  to  make  it 
possible  for  these  students  to  meet  Ameri- 
can families  with  varied  cultural,  economic, 
racial  and  religious  backgrounds.  Also 
part  of  the  program  are  visits  to  public 
schools  in  the  city,  talks  to  young  people 
about  their  home  countries  and  participa- 
tion in  leadership  conferences  organized 
to  encourage  prospective  "drop-outs"  to 
continue  their  education. 


In  connection  with  education  Miss  Gil- 
bert mentioned  one  very  interesting  point. 
"One  student,"  she  said,  "who  never  had 
any  formal  schooling  and  was  completely 
self-taught  before  coming  to  this  country 
is  now  doing  graduate  work  in  linguistics 
at  Columbia  University.  When  he  speaks  to 
young  people  about  education,  they  listen!" 

She  mentioned  that  this  is  an  especially 
busy  time  of  the  year.  In  recent  weeks 
there  have  been  a  series  of  seminars  on 
some  of  the  problems  of  a  big  city  and 
discussions  led  by  leading  professionals  in 
the  field  of  education,  criminology  and  un- 
employment, with  special  reference  to  the 
impact  of  automation.  The  program  seeks 
"to  further  international  understanding  on 
a  'person-to-person'  level  and  to  open 
windows  on  the  world  for  all  those  seeking 
to  widen  their  horizons." 

Her  absorbing  interests  are  in  her  work 
and  the  many  contacts  she  constantly 
makes.  She  maintains  her  own  apartment  in 
the  Grammercy  Park  area  of  New  York 
but  comes  home  frequently  for  weekend 
visits  with  her  father  on  Ox  Hill  Rd.  and 
for  vacations  during  the  summer  at  Groton 
Long  Point.  Here  gardening  is  a  contin- 
uous pleasure. 

She  enjoys  painting  which  began  years 
ago  with  Saturday  morning  classes  of  the 
Norwich  Art  School.  She  has  been  experi- 
menting with  abstract  photography,  taking 
close-up  pictures  in  color  of  surfaces  with 
unusual  textures  and  color  patterns. 

She  has  traveled  extensively  taking  fre- 
quent trips  abroad  to  different  parts  of 
the  world,  where  she  has  visited  friends 
she  first  met  in  New  York  through  her 
work  with  international  students  and  visi- 
tors. Each  country  has  its  own  charm,  but, 
outside  of  the  United  States  the  section  she 
enjoys  most  is  southern  Europe,  especially 
Italy  and  Greece.

"We  have  been  fortunate  to  travel  quite

to  Amsterdam,  where  we  met  Lin,  who 
was  travelling  with  a  college  group.  To- 
gether we  went  via  train  to  Cologne,  then 
via  steamer  down  the  Rhine.  A  high-light 
of  that  portion  of  the  tour  was  a  trip  into

30th  Reunion 

Eighteen  of  the  grandmotherly-type  ar- 
rived promptly  at  Mills  Falls  Restaurant 
for  what  is  known  coyly  these  days  as  the 
"social  hour."  Three,  who  shall  be  name- 
less, (one  from  New  Jersey;  two  from 
Connecticut)  wandered  the  highways  and 
byways  —  after  missing  the  Toll  Road 
exit  —  finally  came  in  giggling  —  no 
shame  ■ —  an  hour  late. 

The  Class  of  1930  was  celebrating  its  35th 
Reunion;  we,  of  '35,  our  30th  ■ —  even 
the  restaurant  personnel  was  confused.  We 
acquired,  briefly,  one  non-member  who 
looked  exactly  like  Sally  Swanson  Dahlberg 
—  was  immediately  accepted  what  with  bi- 
focals, five  years'  absence,  and  no  one  want- 
ing to  admit  she  didn't  instantly  recognize 
a   classmate. 

After  a  delicious  luncheon,  during  which 
letters  from  absent  classmates  were  passed 
around,  we  rode  back  to  Auburndale. 
Some  visited  on  campus;  others  went  to  B. 
Brewer's  house  where  Barbara  Iris  Johnson 
showed  movies  of  our  White  Mountain 
trips,  Monument  Beach  parties  and  the 
20th   at   Maida   Cardwell    Atwood's   home. 

Capsule  of  conversation  and  pictures 
during  the  get-together: 

Anne  O'Brien  Ryan  has  a  son,  daughter- 
in-law  and  three  grandchildren  in  Okinawa. 

Puffy  (Selby  Guerry),  whose  mother  at 
age  75  has  just  been  re-elected  town  asses- 
sor, repeated  daughter  Linda's  (Guerry 
Dotson  x-'62)  remark:  "Grandma,  when 
you  finish  your  term  you  will  be  8l." 

Thelma  Larkin  Richardson's  daughter 
transferred  from  Nasson  to  U.N.H.  Miss 
McClelland  told  of  visiting  Nasson  and 
hearing  someone  (Thelma)  exclaim:  "Why, 
there's     my    old     gym     teacher."      Another

voice  added:  "She's  my  old  gym  teacher, 
too."  The  second  voice  was  that  of  Lil 
Tobias  Richmyer,  whose  son  was  a  Nasson 
applicant. 

Judy  Johnson,  daughter  of  Barbara  Iris, 
was  graduating  ■ —  the  day  after  Reunion 
■ —  from  the  University  of  New  Hampshire. 
Judy  will  do  graduate  work  at  U.  Mass. 
in  September. 

Barbara  Briggs  Stanton  very  much  en- 
joys her  work  as  secretary  in  the  nursing 
program  at  Newton  Junior  College.  Bar- 
bara's mother  will  soon  come  to  live  with 
the  Stanton  family. 

It  was  good  to  see  Ruth  Waterman 
Trevethick  after  many  years.  Her  husband 
is  a  member  of  the  faculty  of  the  University 
of  Vermont;  their  son  has  just  completed 
his  freshman  year  there. 

Charlotte  Anderson  Harlow,  now  living 
in  Auburndale,  was  planning  a  trip  to 
Florida.  Her  daughter,  a  student  at  St. 
Petersburg  Junior  College,  was  "packing" 
to  come  home  for  the  summer. 

Molly  Upham  Menges  and  Barbara 
Heath  Ramsay  had  the  longest  stay  in 
Auburndale.  Molly  and  friends  had  to 
charter  a  plane  to  get  off  fog-bound  Nan- 
tucket; Barbara  came  from  Cleveland  to 
attend  daughter  Louise's  graduation  from 
House  in  the  Pines.  Louise  will  be  a  La- 
sell  freshman  in  September  1965.  Barba- 
ra's #1  daughter,  Susan,  was  graduated  in 
1963. 

Bette  Clark  Stillman's  husband,  Verne, 
was  roped  into  the  picture  viewing;  was 
most  helpful  moving  chairs,  setting  up 
movie  screen,  et  al.

Many  have  been  the  orders  and  requests 
for  Alumnae  Cookbooks  —  a  special 
feature  of  the  1964  Bazaar.  From  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Class  of  1936  the  note  read: 
"As  a  part-time  clerk-typist  and  full-time 
cook-housekeeper,  a  change  in  menu  is  al- 
ways welcomed,  especially  with  my  'better 
half  making  a  mid-day  appearance.  Re- 
minds me  of  the  young  bride,  who  said: 
'I  married  him  for  better  or  for  worse,  but 
not  for  lunch.'  " 

Peg  Pearl  Ide  and  daughter  Mary  snow-

born  on  January  18,  1965  to  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
John  Timothy  Ide  of  Danville,  Vermont. 


Esther  Sosman  reports:  "Enjoyed  a  de- 
lightful luncheon  at  the  Coronado  home

as  good  at  cricket  and  rugby  as  his  school- 
mates at  Glenalmond.  Betsy  has  a  mar- 
velous accent  developed  at  St.  Leonard's 
School  in  St.  Andrews.  Ann  and  Susan 
speak  and  understand  the  local  village 
dialect. 

"We  have  our  own  pony  —  the  younger 
children  are  very  interested  in  riding.  All 
of  us  ski  in  the  nearby  Highlands  in  the 
winter.  Golf  will  start  regularly  in  early 
April,  but  hardy  ones  play  all  winter  here 
in  Fife.  I  am  no  longer  Ladybank  Club 
champion  but  managed  to  keep  my  12 
handicap. 

"We  look  forward  to  a  visit  from  sister 
Nancy  (Gorton  Ross  '42)  and  children 
during  the  Easter  holidays." 

Eleanor  Millard  Parsons  writes:  "Jane 
Norwell  Chamberlain  and  I  enjoyed  lunch- 
eon and  a  visit  together  at  Marshall  Fields 
in  Chicago.  She  was  about  to  move  into  a 
new  home.  Her  daughter,  Ellen,  is  a 
freshman  at  Loyola  College.  My  son,  Bill, 
is  a  sophomore  at  Cornell." 

Eleanor's  husband,  Rev.  E.  Spencer  Par- 
sons, has  recently  been  appointed  Dean  of 
the  Rockefeller  Memorial  Chapel  at  the 
University  of  Chicago.  An  associate  pro- 
fessor in  the  University's  Divinity  School, 
Mr.  Parsons  has  been  pastor  of  the  Hyde 
Park  Baptist  Church,  Chicago,  since  1959. 

Priscilla  Houghton  continues  to  be  most 
active  as  director  of  The  Episcopal  School, 
a  church-sponsored  nursery  school  and 
kindergarten  in  New  York  City. 


1944 

Dear  and  Scattered  Classmates: 

Last  June  I  agreed  to  serve  as  Class 
Secretary.  This  is  my  first  opportunity 
to  say  Hi,  so  why  don't  I  begin  by  giving 
a  bit  of  a  picture  of  the  20th  Reunion 
for  those  unable  to  be  there. 

I  arrived  at  Winslow  Hall  at  10:00  a.m. 
Saturday  for  coffee  and  doughnuts.  Sitting 
at  a  table  marked  "1944"  and  chatting 
animatedly  were  Barbara  Bresette  Greene, 
Peggy  Portmore  Scheuerman,  Peggy  Revene 
Winans,  Janet  Stevenson  Gill,  Dot  Tobin 
Staffier,  Ginny  Wolfe  Perkins,  and  Millie 
Greason  Booth.  Jean  Campbell  popped 
in  for  a  short  visit.  It  was  SO  great  to  be 
together  again  and  ■ — -  believe  it  or  not — ■ 
we  looked  as  young  as  ever! 

At  noon,  we  drove  to  my  home  where 
husband  Ken  had  just  unwrapped  the 
sandwiches  and  was  putting  the  finishing 
touches  into  the  reunion  punch.  We 
lingered  over  luncheon  for  three  hours. 
Then,  back  to  Lasell  for  a  tour  of  the 
campus,  including  the  new  Priscilla  Alden 
Wolfe  Hall,  named  in  memory  of  Ginny 
Wolfe  Perkins'  mother. 

Shirley  Haviland  Woody  and  Elfreda 
Reck  Dubin  brought  their  teenage  daugh- 
ters to  visit  campus  in  the  afternoon. 
They  returned  for  Alumnae  Dinner  and 
Priscilla  Lincoln  also  joined  us. 

Another  item  of  interest  concerns  La- 
sell's  Bazaar,  held  on  November  17th. 
This  took  place  in  Winslow  Hall  which 
was  completely  transformed  into  a  shopping 
center  for  jewelry,  Christmas  decorations, 
clothing  etc.  Ginny  Wolfe  Perkins  was  in 
charge  of  the  Book  Table;  Dot  Tobin 
Staffier  and  I  assisted.  It  was  a  nice 
feeling  to  know  we  were  helping  to  raise 
money  for  Lasell's  increasingly  beautiful 
campus.  You  who  live  close  enough 
might  enjoy  taking  part  in  this  affair  next 
fall. 

Now,  aren't  you  tired  of  hearing  what 
I've  done  and  don't  you  want  to  add  your 
news  to  our  column?  Please  send  it  now 
while  you're  thinking  about  it  —  fun  trips, 
interesting  job,  children  —  whatever  is 
happening  to  you  that  would  be  news- 
worthy to  all.

20th  Reunion  Report 

by 
Emma  Gilbert  Carver 

Kudos  to  our  Miss  Mac,  without  whose 
help  no  Reunion  could  be  successful,  much 
less  possible!  More  kudos:  to  Jean 
Logue  Kaknes,  who  arranged  the  wonder- 
ful luncheon  at  The  Pillars  ...  to  ever- 
ebullient  Sue  Slocum  Klingbeil,  who  be- 
stowed those  marvelous  awards  .  .  .  and 
once  again,  to  the  weatherman,  who  pro- 
vided beautiful  New  England  spring-sum- 
mer weather  for  Reunion  Weekend  ! 

1945's  first  opportunity  to  have  an  on- 
campus  alumnae  reunion  weekend  couldn't 
have  been  more  successful  .  .  .  tho'  we  do 
have  a  few  ideas  for  making  Our  25th 
even  bigger  and  better!  From  the  arrivals 
and  buffet  supper  on  Friday  evening  until 
breakfast  and  au  revoir  on  Sunday  morn- 
ing, it  was  a  truly  delightful  time. 

One  of  the  Hits  of  the  All-Alumnae 
Dinner  on  Saturday  was  "our  song". 
Part  I,  sung  to  the  tune  of  "When  the 
Saints  Go  Marching  In,"  went  more  or 
less  like  this: 

"Oh,    when    we    girls    with    fancy    curls 

Oh,  when  this  class  came  marching  in 

We    filled    the    halls    with     cheer    and 

laughter 
The  '45-ers  paraded  in. 

"We    danced    and    played,    good    friend- 
ships made 
The  midnight  oil  burned  long  and  bright 
The  years  are  filled  with  pleasant  mem- 
ories 

Cheers  to  reunions,  gay  and  light." 

Part  II.  Tune:  "Three  O'Clock  in  the 
Morning": 


"Soooooooooooooo 

It    was    three    o'clock    in    the    morning 

We   talked   the   whole   night   through 

The  daylight  sun  was  'adawning 

Just  one  more  memory  or  two 

That    melody    so    entrancing,    the   words 

just  wouldn't  come  through 
So,  dear  alumnae,  we're  sorry 
Lasell,  we  do  love  you!" 

Much  fun  was  had  at  our  Class  Lunch- 
eon at  The  Pillars.  As  befits  the  post  of 
class  president,  Sue  Slocum  Klingbeil  was 
in  charge  of  "awards."  The  award  rib- 
bons themselves  were  just  gorgeous!  They 
may  have  been  left  over  from  last  year's 
Grosse  Point  Hunt  Club  (and  plainly 
said  so  on  the  medallion!)  but  they  were 
gorgeous !  And  although,  too,  on  one  of 
the  lovely  royal  blue  streamers,  it  was 
plainly  stated  "1964",  we  really  didn't 
mind  because  on  the  other  streamer  Sue 
had  put  our  monograms !  Just  to  give 
you  an  idea  of  the  "seriousness"  of  some 
of  these  "awards,"  I  received  mine  simply 
because  I'd  had  the  audacity  to  let  my 
kids  come  in  for  a  few  minutes  to  witness 
the  reunion  festivities!  (I  really  have  the 
feeling  I  might  have  gotten  two  of  these 
beauties  if  I  could  only  have  persuaded 
my  husband  to  take  just  a  peek!)  Terry 
Tounge  Park  got  hers  for  the  "Most  Try- 
ing." Terry  wrote  under  the  special  news 
section  of  her  reunion  questionnaire  that 
she  was  " 'trying  to  lower  her  golf  handi- 
cap, trying  to  understand  four  teen-age 
daughters,  trying  to  paint." 

Jean  Logue  Kaknes  took  top  honors  for 
"having  lived  the  most  dangerously"  dur- 
ing the  past  year.  Jean  and  husband  George 
planned  a  "peaceful  vacation  trip"  in 
March  to  the  Dominican  Republic.  Two 
days  after  they  arrived,  a  hasty  exit  was 
necessary !  But,  happy  ending,  they  did 
finally  find  a  peaceful  vacation  in  San 
Juan!  Do  not  think,  however,  that  some- 
thing like  this  would  deter  the  Kaknes 
duo  from  further  dangerous  living!  When 
last  heard  from,  they  were  planning  to 
take  all  five  of  their  kids  to  the  A.M. A. 
convention  in  New  York  City! 

There  didn't  seem  to  be  any  doubt  but 
that  Dorothy  Holman  Potter  had  the 
most  interesting  career.  She  sells  the 
houses  her  husband  builds! 

'45-ers,  we  discovered,  are  most  definite- 
ly Campers  (with  a  capital  "C")  and 
Travelers  (with  a  capital  "T")  i  Top 
camping  honors  went  to  Jane  McCleary 
Neale  and  Dorothy  Piper  Bottalico;  Irene 
Evangelisti,  Terry  Bergeron  and  Elsie 
Simonds  Follett  were  the  recipients  of  the 
"Most  Travelled"  awards.

It  was  also  decided  that  Jane  Burnham 
Eliason  deserved  the  "Chauffeur  of  the 
Year"  award!  Jane  has  become  one  of 
those  people  who  always  seems  to  be  "on 
the  road"  from  her  home  to  somewhere 
else  for  one  activity  or  another  and  then 
back  again  .  .  .  repeat,  repeat,  repeat !  Sue 
Ross  Westberg  was  pronounced  "The  Resi- 
dential Engineer"  (cook,  chauffeur,  teach- 
er, et  al.)  !  And,  to  our  delight,  we 
discovered  we  have  a  Justice  of  the  Peace

Now  for  a  "miniature  yearbook"  — 
Get  out  your  address  books  and  update 
them !  I  am  hoping,  by  the  way,  in  sub- 
sequent issues  that  I  can  follow  through 
on  this  "yearbook,"  printing  information 
from  all  of  the  questionnaires  that  were 
returned  to  me.  The  response  was  won-

On  March  the  10th  Muriel  Ross  Ben- 
shimol  and  Lynn  Blodgett  Hall  co-host- 
essed a  Class  Luncheon  at  Lynn's  Lex- 
ington home.  Those  present  included: 
Bunny  Quinn  McKenna,  Judi  Greenough 
Udaloy,  Helen  Richter  Hanson,  Pat  Cor- 
ning, Pat  Luther  Wilkin,  Dorie  Crathern 
French,  Phyl  Paige  Downes,  Corinne  Wil- 
kins  Staid,  Pat  O'Neil  Messmore  and 
Nan  Somerville  Blowney  (mother  of  our 
class  baby,  Karen,  now  a  senior  at  the 
Reading  High  School). 

We  had  word  from  several  other  gals 
and  were  sorry  they  could  not  join  us.  Kay 
Woolover  Parsons  and  Peg  Ryan  Sullivan 
had  to  cancel  at  the  last  minute.  Ginny 
Terhune  Hersom  and  Ann  Blake  Perkins 
were  a  bit  too  far  away  —  both  reside  in 
Maine.  Ann  Nelson  Eldridge,  Joan  Han- 
son Blake  and  Marcia  Cressey  Haley  are 
working  gals.  Jackie  Darcy  was  in  Brazil 
—  spreading  good  will  from  the  Cape 
Ann  area.  Bunny  Quinn  McKenna,  whose 
husband,  Bob,  is  an  employee  of  the  New 
England  Tel  &  Tel,  brought  a  copy  of 
the  company  publication,  Topics.  The 
February-March  issue  featured  an  article, 
which  told  of  Jackie's  good  deeds.  It 
read,    in    part: 

"Wrapped  and  tied  with  ribbons  of 
friendship  'from  the  people  of  Cape  Ann,' 
the  spirit  of  the  New  Year  was  sent  to 
Recife,  Brazil,  in  the  form  of  a  well-sup- 
plied 1953  Cadillac  ambulance.  A  two- 
year  project  of  the  Massachusetts  resi- 
dents' Friendship  Club,  the  6,000-pound  gift 
came  about  as  a  result  of  the  bi-county 
interest  between  many  Brazilians  and 
Gloucester  area  residents. 

"Mario  Mendes,  Service  Foreman  (Tel 
&  Tel)  in  Gloucester,  is  the  former  presi- 
dent of  the  organization.  He  explained 
that  the  club  itself  began  with  the  idea 
of  establishing  a  lasting  friendship  between 
the  two  countries  —  a  friendship  and  in- 
terest that  began  several  summers  ago 
when  Jacqueline  Darcy,  a  Gloucester  jour- 
nalist, and  several  of  her  neighbors  fell 
under  the  spell  of  young  Brazilian  lead- 
ers who  spent  a  week  with  them  as  part 
of  a  month-long  experience  in  the  United 
States.     Each     summer    another    Brazilian 


group  made  a  similar  visit,  and  two-coun- 
try friendships  nourished  the  year  round, 
so  that  Gloucester  was  made  the  official 
'sister  city'  to  Recife. 

"Miss  Darcy  went  to  Brazil  a  few  years 
ago  as  a  result  of  the  young  people's  visits. 
The  medical  director  of  the  Recife  Hospi- 
tal told  her  of  the  desperate  need  for  an 
ambulance.  Patients  in  the  city  of  250,000 
had  to  be  transported  via  pickup  truck. 
Mr.  Mendes  and  club  members  picked  up

GREETINGS,  CLASS  OF  1956: 

Can  you  believe  it  —  nearly  ten  years 
have  passed  since  we  shed  Caps  and  Gowns 
and  left  college  days  behind  to  join  the 
world  of  careers,  husbands,  and  children. 
It's  hard  to  imagine  that,  in  June  1966, 
we'll  meet  again  on  the  campus  of  Lasell 
Junior  College.  And,  we  would  guess 
that  we  haven't  changed  that  much  in  the 
past   decade ! 

Keep  in  mind  the  all-important  June 
Reunion  weekend.  Why  not  make  a 
TENTH- ATI VE  note  on  your  calendar  now?

The  January  issue  of  The  British  Jour-

per on  surgical  research,  co-authored  by 
Linda  Chiaramonte.  The  six-page  ar- 
ticle is  the  result  of  research  into  the 
"tissue  responses  of  the  rat  to  implanted 
ivalon,  etheron  and  polyfoam  plastic 
sponges."  In  completing  the  work,  Lin- 
da was  working  with  and  for  Dr.  J.  B. 
Walter  of  the  Royal  College  of  Sur- 
geons in  England.  High  praise  is  also 
given  to  Linda  for  her  help  in  com- 
pleting a  newly  published  book  entitled 
"General  Pathology"  written  by  Dr. 
Walter  and  Dr.  M.  S.  Israel. 
The  authors  conclude  their  preface  with 
this  statement:  "Finally,  we  have  much 
pleasure  in  expressing  our  gratitude  to 
Miss  Linda  Chiaramonte  of  Greenfield, 
Mass.,  but  for  whose  good  humor,  good 
organization  and  good  typing  this  book 
would  never  have  been  completed."

TO:  MEMBERS  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  1965 

Your  most  thoughtful  and  generous  gift  of  a  Seth  Thomas  clock 
came  shortly  after  last  Commencement.  Therefore,  there  has  been 
no  convenient  way  of  expressing  our  deep  gratitude  except  to  in- 
dividual members  of  your  class.  For  this  reason  we  have  asked 
the  Editor  to  lend  us  an  inch  or  two  of  space. 

The  timepiece  occupies  a  place  of  honor  in  our  house  which  was 
built  in  the  early  nineteenth  century.  All  members  of  the  Tewks- 
bury  family  (including  Ralph,  the  cat)  are  reminded  of  our  pleasant 
Lasell  associations  with  you  every  hour  when  we  hear  the  chimes. 

Whenever  you  visit  Southern  New  Hampshire  —  possibly  nearby 
Crotched  Mountain  for  a  skiing  expedition  —  won't  you  plan  to 
visit  us?  In  the  meantime  we  wish  each  of  you  happiness  and  suc- 
cess in  your   endeavors. 

Thank  you  very  much  for  remembering  us. 


Dr.  and  Mrs.  Blake  Tewksbury
