1920News comes to us o f YUKIKO DOMOTO Maki, who is back in this country for her Wellesley reunion, and to receive the 1979 Alumnae Achievement Award. She was dec­orated by the government o f Japan in 1976 for her work in international student ex­change. A widow who supported herself and her son by teaching English at Tsuda College during World War II, she was a founder of several organizations aimed at increasing cul­tural understanding between the United Sta tes and Japan during the post-war period. Special interest in the area o f student ex­change led her to give up the vice-presidency of a textile firm which she had also helped to establish, serving full-time as American Program Officer o f the Fulbright Commis­sion and later as the Japanese representative o f the East-West Center and vice president and executive secretary for the Experiment in International Living in Japan. She is here now to attend her 55th reunion.1921HELEN SMITH Shoemaker, the wonderful sculptress o f the class o f ‘21, has completed a beautiful bronze figure, “ The St. Francis Vision.” On May 26th she is to show her St. Francis Vision figure and to speak at an ecu­menical meeting o f a fine arts contemporary evangelistic group in Canton, Ohio. Another planned showing is to be at the Adelyn Road Conference Cente r for the Society of Companions o f the Cross, to be held August 17-19 in Newburyport, MA.1922MARY WESTCOTT Westbrook has moved back east from California to be near her daughter. She has an apartment in Kingston, NY.

Mrs. J. Walter Smith(Florence Clayton)37 Dix StreetWinchester, MA 01890

WINNIE LINK Stewart begins her letter with a fine tr ibute to M.F.S. and the friend­ship and kindness that she and her sister, Jane ‘28, experienced when they came to Princeton from West Virginia and were en­rolled at Miss F ine’s School. Winnie’s check sent recently to P.D.S. is a way o f express­ing her gratitude that I hope all o f us will follow. Winnie also speaks o f returning to Connecticut College for her 50th reunion this spring. Again I commend her action and hope that all our classmates will take advan­tage o f the very special privilege o f celebrat­ing the 50th reunions at their Alma Maters. Winnie continued, saying, “ on the beautiful rural east end o f Long Island, I am suffi­ciently involved in church and community affairs to keep busy, out o f mischief and happy .” When she broke her ankle last fall, Jane moved in to help during the disability. Daughter Anne, remarried last June, with her 10-year-old son Julian, lives a half hour’s drive away in the home that Anne’s husband, George Tuthill, inherited from his grand­father, and which they are restoring. Win­nie’s son. Dr. John Gilman Stewart , was for­merly on the staff o f Hubert Humphrey and is now Executive Director o f the Congres­sional Committee on Science, Space and Technology. With his wife Nancy, 13-year- old Michael and 10-year-old Cara-Jane, he lives in the Washington area.SUE BLACKWELL Posey writes “ Lots o f New York matinees and a thrilling night with dining at the Metropolitan Opera Club followed by a spectacular performance o f “ Don Carlo.” The California trip this year included a few days at Palm Springs.” Sue regrets that no one but she has attended Alumni Day from our class. How about making some plans to get there in 1980 for a 55th reunion?DOTTIE AUTEN Sut ton has a busy June ahead with her Wellesley reunion, an antici­pated trip to Nova Scotia with her daughter, Mary Fai th , and the graduation and mar­riage o f her older granddaughter Cathy. Dottie characteristically expresses con ten t­ment thus: “ I am happy and busy all the time, with many interesting (to me) activi­ties and people who are most kind to me and for whom I can do things.” Armsmear, the Episcopal retirement home where Dottie lives, “ is a beauti ful place and I am thankful for the love and concern found here and for the many things that go on in Hartford” nearby.Dottie has requested MARY BELL CLARK Hotchkiss’ address so she may write to her. Guess what! After all these years, Mary Bell sent me a birthday card as she had found my birth date written in her Friendship Birthday Book in 1920! She enclosed a snap­shot o f their sailboat, Kittiwake, owned by Capta in Henry Hotchkiss. U.S.N.R. ret. and Mary B.C. Hotchkiss. Homeport , East Chop Yacht Club. Thanks, M.B.!JOAN WOOLWORTH Smith has asked for FRANNIE KLEMANN Riegel’s address at the Milwaukee Episcopal Home that Frannie is enjoying, as Joan hopes to contact her if she is in Milwaukee this summer. Joan proudly announces a great-granddaughter, Ada Wellington Smith, commenting, “ She is a dear, healthy child with a beatific smile and a very hearty scream, each used on ap­propriate occasions.” Congratulations, Joan! Does any other ‘25-er claim a great-grand­child?A note from CATHERINE BUGBEE Royal reports that her granddaughter is a pupil at P.D.S. and another granddaughter, Rebecca,

“ As You Like I t ” in the '77 fall issue as one o f the unknowns, third from the left in the front row. Hasn’t changed much, has she? ANNA HALE writes, “ As well as the usual activities o f everyday living, I am writing stories for children. Live have been accepted by various magazines and several more are making the rounds. I have also finished one mystery (for 8 to 12’s) and am hard at work on another book, laid on Mackinac Island. Whether they get published or not, only the future can tell. Cheers!” Good luck, Anna, and we’re proud o f you.Yesterday I went to a birthday party for CHRISSIE GIBBONS Mason given by her daughter LOUISE MASON Bachelder '54. It was like a reunion o f MFS and PDS. Pre­sent were MARY TYSON Thompson '27, BETTY McCLENNAHAN Stevens '27, NAN­CY GOHEEN Finch '26. POLLY DICKIN­SON Dale '48, JULIANNA CUYLER McIn­tyre '53, LISA BACHELDER '74. and HILARY BACHELDER ‘77. Chrissie was the youngest member o f ‘26, and her an­nounced birthday o f 39 made us all feel quite youthful.1927Class Secretary

Mrs. Albert C.F. Westphal(Jean March)4010 Warren Street, N.W.Washington, D.C. 20016

The class sends its sincere sympathy to Bill and MARY STOCKTON Ruigh because of the death , in March 1979, in Washington. D.C. o f their older daughter, Scott R. Maz- zur. Dr. Mazzur was a senior research scien­tist and head o f viral epidemiology o f the American Red Cross. Scotty had worked in the Solomon Islands and in the Dominican Republic, in addit ion to lecturing in other parts o f the world, and had earned for her­self a world reputation in her field. Her hus­band, Robert, died in 1977 and there are two children, Anna and Frank, as well as her sister, Pamela.Our sympathy is also extended to MAR­GARET WHEATON Tuttle on the October death of her husband, Arthur on the Vine­yard, after thir ty-four years o f marriage. Margaret has sold her large house in New Haven and will be back on the Vineyard this summer. Her new fall address is Sidney House, Concord Greene, Concord, MA 01742. A brighter note is the publication of her book, The Crimson Cage, Tashmoo Press, Vineyard Haven, MA 02568 (S5.00 for the benefit o f S.P.A.Y.). It is a fictionalized ac­count o f a real family’s dog caught up in the nightmare o f inhumane vivisection. A copy has been given to the P.D.S. library.Some o f our classmates have been travel­ling. Charlie and MARGARET STEVENS Stevens had a two-week holiday cruise in the Caribbean, but were back in Sarasota in February to greet two younger M.F.S. grad­uates, Cissy and Mary Cowenhoven. Erling and RUTH KEMMERER Dorf spent three interesting weeks in South America, cover­ing the Galapagos Islands, Quito and then Colombia, with some side trips into the interior.ISABELLE MADDOCK Dickens has retired at last and is missing her school youngsters. Husband Thomas was honored at Lawrence- ville School by a football award in his name. In March they at tended the graduation o f their oldest grandson from Michigan State, and will also travel to his California wed­ding next August. At the same time they will be visiting their daughter in Everett, Washington.ROBERTA WEBB Southall was planning a Mediterranean cruise in May and June, with a short stop in Alexandria, Egypt (which she had visited last year in company with a Washington friend o f mine).

LOIS DA VIS Stevenson ’26 last Christmas in Massachusetts.has taken the entrance tests. A good prece­dent, Catherine! She and HAZEL MYERS Malone (M.F.S. ‘24) hope to attend the P.D.S. Alumni Day.The Christmas le tter from HELEN FOSTER Highberger says that she is very busy plan­ning the programs of the Ramsey Historical Association o f which she is first vice- president. Husband John continues at the Old S tone Church and fills in at his former church occasionally under emergency condi­tions. Since last summer they have redeco­rated their first and second floors and re­modeled their kitchen as well as spending three weeks in September touring England and Scotland. They drove all the way to John O ’Groats and saw Iona, Mull, Skye, Braemer and Loch Ness — but no monster! Son Bill, now a young California lawyer, came home for Christmas via Vail for a week o f skiing. Daughter Judy continues work at Mosstype with outside activities of singing with the Ridgewood Singers, as a member o f the Ramsey Volunteer Am bu­lance Corps and an instructor in Advanced First Aid.Walter and I made an unanticipated visit to England in December, grandparenting with our not-quite-two-year-old grandson, Adrian, awaiting and welcoming his new little bro ther, Nicholas Ralph Jope. on December 5. We then extended our visit through Christmas and celebrated with son Ted and his wife Sarah, in their charming modernized gatehouse in the town adjacent to Stoke Poges of Gray’s “ Elegy” fame. More recently we had a memorable three days back home in Winchester, New Eng­land when the Cathedral Choir from Win­chester, Old England were guests o f the members o f our Episcopal church. We en­joyed having the choir and clergy in our homes and were inspired by the service in which they partic ipated at our Church of the Epiphany after coming to the Boston area from Princeton’s hospitality.May your 50th reunions and the summer days following be happy ones for you!

It is always hard to keep up with LIB BLACKWELL Twyeffort , traveller, writer, lecturer, photographer and mother. Her older daughter has given two one-man cer­amic sculpture shows in New York state, and Lib was planning a March visit to Cal­gary, Alberta, where daughter Susan is head o f the Social Service Department o f a hos­pital. One unusual trip was named “ Op Viking Sail” in Oslofjord. Unfortunately the overcast sky and lack o f wind for hoisting sail prevented good photography, but the trip also included several o f the oldest Vik­ing centers in Sweden and Denmark. On May 1st she will be at the New York Prince­ton Club speaking on “ Springtime in New York.” A year ago Lib visited KAY MITCH­ELL Osborne and “ her beautiful house in Savannah, with all her stunning antiques.”I red and KAY MITCHELL Osborne had a wonderful m onth in Spain in September 1978, and are glad they did, because the winter turned out to be an especially hard one. While visiting daughter Lydia in Prince­ton over Christmas, almost everyone ended up with different illnesses - Fred, Kay, Lydia, and her little boy Scott . And of course there was two-year-old Jennifer to look after. The Osbornes were finally home­ward bound to Georgia in March, but ex­pected to return to Princeton for F red ’s 55th reunion.ELIZABETH NOYES Stockman, although still living in Oregon, keeps up with Prince­ton because her Harvard ‘57 son-in-law DonII o dd , also o f Oregon, visits Princeton fre­quently in his capacity as president o f NERC (National Electric Reliability C oun­cil), a nationwide group o f utility men. (I am writing this at a timely moment, the nuclear reaction problem in Pennsylvania). Al and I are leaving in early April to visit our family in Wassenaar, ju st in time for Dutch tulip season. We have enjoyed their snapshots o f skiing in the Swiss Alps, and more unusual, ice skating on the street in front o f their house!.. . due to an extremely cold winter. We expect to return in time for Al’s mid-May 50th reunion at Columbia College, N.Y.C. I may get to see DORIS JOHNSON Low when she comes up from Charlottesville, Va. about that time. Her lawyer son David has a major role in The Mikado. David has recently changed jobs, still in Washington, from planning invest­ments for Iran to developing business in the U.S. for an English firm.DOTTIE WRIGHT wrote us a nice Chris t­mas note, seeing her Trenton friends during the holidays.Despite writing about the wintry “ gale winds, sleet, ice, torrents o f rain and minor flooding,” ISABELLE HAWKE Trenbath has been living very happily in the memory o f an August surprise birthday luncheon for her 70th, given by her children and grand­children and all her relatives and Connecti­cut friends. She says she’ll never forget it, and wishes all our classmates similar happi­ness on their 70th bir thdays.O f course it was just like BETTY MAD- DOCK Clissold to supply us with the most unexpected news. A year ago we learned she was going to be a great-grandmother, but d idn ’t know birth date or sex. This time she writes, “ my great-grandson, Brian Med- gette, arrived May 10, 1978. He is the great­est.” Three cheers, Bet ty , and congratula­tions on the “ greatest.” ...oh, yes,...Betty adds a postscript. “ I am engaged to William J. Scheffer o f Salem, New Jersey.” H ow ’s that for a climatic ending? We all wish you happiness.1928Class Secretary

Mrs. Roy Allen Rowe(Jean M. Herring)Newage Mission, Takilma RoadCave Junction, OR 97523

The class extends its deepest sympathy to the family o f LUCY RUSSELL Gardner, who died suddenly o f a heart at tack in Salt Lake City, where she and George were living after liis retirement. Lucy was born and brought up at 79 Alexander Street, Princeton, and graduated from Smith College. She was the daughter o f Dr. Henry Norris Russell, head of the Princeton Uni­versity Astronomy Department. She leaves four children, seven grandchildren and a brother, Dr. Henry N. Russell, Jr. and her younger sister, MARGARET RUSSELL Edmondson, MI'S ’32. She was one o f your secretary’s closest childhood friends. MARGARET LOWRY Butler at tended the wedding o f MARGARET BROOKS Good- enough ’31 last August to Judge Prank Van Dusen of Philadelphia in Grosse Pointe. Margaret remembered her geometry prob­lems which she and Lucy Russell solved by taking them to Professor Alexander.Y ou ’ll be happy to hear about ANNE MITCHELL Dielhenn’s busy life. She writes, “ I am still living in Columbia, Maryland. My days are busy as I am on the board (restora­tion) o f Waverly, an 18th century house lived in by George Howard, governor of Maryland in 1830. Am also on the board of the Humanities Institute which provides op­portunit ies for continued adult education. Am on the board of the Red Cross and work for the blood bank as a volunteer. Have in­dulged in traditional acupuncture for the past three years. It is a truly holistic form of medicine and has been invaluable for me. We are fortunate to have the center right here in Columbia. My daughter, Jane Otis and I are going out to Los Angeles at the end o f March to see my two sons, Bruner PCD ’62 and Mitch, PCD ’65. Brune is presently associate director o f the “ Hello Larry” show, aired on Friday evenings. Mitch left Denver last fall and eventually ended up working on the oil rigs in Louisiana. He is now spending many hours working with his guitar, while studying at a music school in L.A. and working as a waiter at night to provide the necessities o f life.”FRANK MATHER, the first male o f our class to admit he was still alive, writes, “ Dear Jeannie: You finally broke me down! Married Natalie N. Edwards July, 1970 . . . second time around for both, b u t very happy. Between us we have four daughters, one son and three grandchildren. Your poem was great. For the past thir ty years I ’ve been at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute , working mainly on biology and fisheries o f oceanic game fishes - tunas, marlin, sailfish, etc. Fishing for them happens to be my hobby. All this had led in to a lot o f travel for research and fishing, particularly participation in international meetings, etc. Best to all, F rank .”1930Class Secretary

Miss Elizabeth Wherry1315 Country LaneWest Tren ton , NJ 08628

FRANNIE BOICE Sturges writes that she has moved into a new home on the golf course at Highlands, North Carolina (High­lands Country Club). She says it is pretty close to Heaven, and a great change from being in Naples, Florida the year round.

Frannie hopes that her friends will write to her at her new address.After teaching math (both the new and the old) for 42 years at Eaglebrook School in Deerfield, Massachusetts, MARION JOHN­SON Low has retired from full-time teach­ing, but will continue to work part t ime to diagnose and help s tudents overcome math anxiety.1931Class Secretary

Mrs. Robert N. Smyth(Jean Osgood)321 Nassau StreetPrinceton, NJ 08540

At long last one o f my classmates took pity on me and sent me some information. Think this class needs a new secretary who can drum up more news than I seem to be able to.MIMI GIBBONS Gardner, bless her heart, sent the following, and I quote , “ The Aparri School o f Dance (which, by the way, is here in Princeton) continues to occupy most of my time. We’ve expanded from being most­ly a ballet school to including a new division called Broadway dance. Two new teachers have added a lot o f vitality to our Spring Festivals in which we include a cabaret as well as teacher training! I went again last spring to France to see what Paris was doing in the way of dance and found my friends more irate over skyscrapers overloading the famous Paris sewers, and bridges - 17th century bridges (one in Tours) collapsing from an overload o f truck traffic. It was amusing coming home to Princeton to find our bridges and sewers on the front page o f the local papers .” Thank you, Mimi.I ’m still occupying the same spot at PDS as I was when the school first opened and may turn into a piece o f the furniture with a plaque on me if I stay much longer. How­ever, I still enjoy the job and all the people I work with and meet. It is a fun job.Wish I could scare up some more news for everyone to read, but I ’m not much good at making it up, so, if I d o n ’t get it, I can’t print it.1932No Class Secretary1933Class Secretary

Mrs. Lindley W. Tiers(Sally Gardner)50 Pardoe RoadPrinceton, NJ 08540

Your “ sec” was out o f “ sync” when two classmates visited Princeton in March and April. She was out o f town!!! LILY LAM­BERT McCarthy wrote me on March 6th from Palm Beach saying she would be in Princeton on March 27th en route to Eng­land, and asked Lindley and me for lunch so as to give us all their news. On March 6 th I was in Aspen and immediately upon re turn­ing home doffed the skis for the sea-suit and Lindley and I were o f f to Vero Beach where Lily’s card caught up with me. Indeed I was sorry to miss Lily and John and their news. On our way to Florida we visited Dan and MARGE MUNN Knapp (MFS '38) who have moved from Princeton to Seabrook Island, South Carolina, near Charleston.MOLLY MEREDITH Beerkle visited the east and Princeton for three weeks in April. In her post card she wrote, “ All is well here (Rancho Sante Fe, California), have two Japanese exchange s tudents for a m onth or so. Their English is limited. My Japanese is nil!! We go to Jackson Hole, Wyoming late May until early November, then back here for the win te r.” Very disappointed to miss Molly too.

And I also missed BETTY MENZIES’ suc­cessful exhibit o f Einstein photographs at Gallery 100. This fine exhibit was part o f the Princeton celebration honoring the great scientist on the anniversary o f his 100th birthday. Dignitaries from all over the world attended.Last October 5 th Gillian Burgess Frothing- ham made her appearance in the world. Her granny: NIN1 DUFF1ELD Dielhenn.. .Her father: DAVID FROTHINGHAM (PCD ‘63) ...Her mother: Pam Kerr Froth ingham,former athletic coach at PDS.

I am most grateful to GETTY RIGHTER Snow for keeping the news coming. Surely many more o f our classmates have news which they would like to share with us. The first page that most alumnae read is the one with their own class news, and how very disappointing it is to find little or no news. Get ty writes that there was a small M.F.S. reunion recently in Sarasota. Two sisters, MARY COWENHOVEN Coyle '35 and CISSY COWENHOVEN Stuart ‘33 visited Getty and they all had dinner with SALLY STEVENS Watson ‘33 at her lovely house on nearby Siesta Key. Getty also writes that her son T o m ’s musical career in Los Angeles is rolling along very well. In 1978 he made numerous albums with several o f the best known popular singers.Bill and I find that our family is so spread o u t that it takes lots o f planning and travel to keep up with everyone. We have daughters in Los Angeles and Hartford , and my sisters are in Ottawa, Canada and Ramsey, N.J. We visited with friends on St. Maarten in Feb­ruary and saw Bill’s bro ther in Boca Raton, Florida on our way home. To keep us busy and happy when we are home by ourselves, we bought a darling Sheltie last fall. He, Robbie, keeps us right in line! What he really needs is some sheep to tend, but I’m afraid the town fathers would veto this idea. Do please write and send in pictures too. They are such fun to see.

It was just a year ago this April that six o f us got together at PDS for two hours o f eat­ing and much talking. My thanks to SALLY KUSER Lane for luring ROXIE and LONIE down to Princeton. At that time Lonie told us o f her plans for her daughter Leslie’s wedding in September '78, and the below

picture shows part o f the wedding party. Lonie has since written that her husband Jack’s work is moving them down to the Connecticut area as o f June '79. so perhaps she’ll come this way more often.

I heard from another lost sheep!! JULIE STURGES O ’Connor said she was thrilled to finally have some news tor the magazine. Her daughter, Linda, is getting married in June to Drew Casertano, a member o f the faculty at Loomis-Chaffee School.Not to be outdone , up popped TARG WICKS Spicer with the same news about her oldest son, Mark. He is marrying Charlotte Lane o f Cambridge in September. I certainly do envy Targ and Julie - at the rate my three sons are going. I ’ll never be a mother- in-law. I d o n ’t know, perhaps th a t ’s a bless­ing in disguise!!I also received a nice note from SALLY W1TSER Blake. She sells real estate for Audrey Short in Princeton and really loves it. Her husband, Dave, is retiring in May and they plan to move to their home in Naples, Florida in 1980. Her oldest, Kathy, is in journalism grad school at tiie University o f Tennessee; son, Terry, is with Equitable Life Insurance Co. and lives in New York; and the youngest, Chuck, graduates from Purdue next year.I bumped into OLIVE SHULTE Brown last week and she said her two are both in grad schools too. She had been out for some early golf that morning, which is why she wins the Women’s Golf Champtionship so often at the T ren ton Country Club. You know the story o f the visitor to New York who stopped the violinist on the street and asked, “ How do I get to Carnegie Hall?” and the violinist answered, “ Practice, prac­tice, practice.” Olive, or Shorty as they now call her, really took that story to heart.Last but not least, the run-down on SALLY

We stayed with my sister, JOAN TAYLOR Ashley ‘38 in San Francisco, and had fun with her dar­ling granddaughter. 1 had two good phone chats with DOROTHY LONGSTRETH Woods, who is a psychiatrist in Santa Cruz. She has two daughters, Linda, 22, who is acting, and Andrea, 19, who is interested in teaching and is at a junior college. Would that we could have met, but our schedules d idn’t mesh. However, I am proud to have found her after so long! I was not as lucky with MARY BRUMMER Calkins! 1 phoned and phoned to no avail. Please, Mary, let us hear from you.MARY JO GARDNER Fen to n ’s daughter Sarah was married in Mt. Kisko last Septem­ber to Robert Morse.

Our class has lots o f news, but I believe it is very private because I have only received alumnae notes from two o f you. I will just have to use my imagination and manufac­ture a few juicy tidbits!In February I received a long letter from WENDY HALL Alden, who lives in Nova Scotia. Their son Jack at tends St. Mark’s School in Concord. Last fall Wendy and her husband went to visit him and stayed with CAROLINE SAVAGE Langan. She expresses her deep sympathy, as do we all, on hearing that Caroline recently lost her father, Henry Savage, following a long illness. Wendy also says she has seen BARBARA YFATMAN Gregory, who is enjoying her courses at Rider College, and has talked with CAROLINE ROSENBLUM Moseley, who was about to go off on a trip to New Orleans. In addition, she reports having lunch with ELAINE POLHEMUS Frost , her mother and Mrs. Hall. Elaine is a school social worker. MARY ROBERTS Craighill is back in Princeton with her family after several years on Taiwan. Thank you, Wendy, for such an informative letter. JANE GI1ION Shillaber writes that they have been to Florida to visit their son, Michael, who is in Flagler College in St. Augustine, and her father in Stuart. Jane, you drove right past my parents, who live in Vero Beach. You should have s topped for a visit. David Shillaber, 20, is in Lehigh in Bethlehem, PA.

The weather was gorgeous, the luncheon superb and those at tending were: JOAN KENNAN Posen, AUDREY KRAMER Spowart, SUSAN CREASEY Gertler, LESLIE Me ANENY, NANCY SHANNON Ford, LOUISE MASON Bachelder and myself. After lunch some o f us visited various mothers: Audrey ’s, J o a n ’s and mine. Then we all had a lovely dinner at Nancy’s house where we were jo ined by AGGIE FULPER, TITA WHEELER Ufford and Mrs. Shepherd.It wasn’t easy catching up on 25 years in one day: here is a little o f the news. Audrey is a social worker in Brunswick, Maine, where she moved eight years ago with her two sons (George, 15 and Matthew, 12) after her divorce.Joan and her second husband, a lawyer, live in Washington, D.C. where she found her­self one evening at a dinner party seated next to Henry Kissinger at a table that in­

They flew there in late February; settled in a “ delight­ful Bavarian town with the Alps rising dramatically twenty miles to the south ;” enrolled the children in the local school until late July ; and together embarked on many cultural and athlet ic (skiing) adventures. The Naumanns consider them­selves minor experts on medieval castles, baroque palaces, walled towns and Gothic cathedrals! They managed to ski down the Hausberg, which they found “ relatively painless after the rigors o f Los Alamos’ Pajarito.” They re turned to Princeton filled with memories o f new friendships, and with 15,000 miles added to the V.W. speedometer!I d idn ’t receive one postcard from you this time!

The only answer to my latest mailing was a postcard from LISA 1 AIRMAN Heher. She has been working full-time for two years and is now managing to balance all the

different demands made on her time. She finds, however, that she doesn’t have the time she would like to devote to her garden and sewing. She and her lawyer husband John took their daughter, Margo, who is in fourth grade at Stuart in Princeton, to Arizona and Florida in April.After four years o f working as night-time secretary to several o f the boards and com­missions in South Brunswick, I have decided to “ throw my hat in the ring” and run for Township Clerk, a full-time position. The primary is unopposed, but I ’m sure I’ll be in for a lot o f campaigning after Labor Day. We are planning several trips this summer, to Hershey, PA and to Cape Cod for a week for the kids and me, and I am going to Charleston, SC to visit friends for several days.

I think we had a class trip there in Middle School. Chris’ son Ricky is 11 years old and Jesse is 8.POLLY MILLER Miller, Nicky and the two boys invited SALLY CAMPBELL to ski with them in Utah earlier this year. They had four great days o f sun and skiing, Sally reports. After that trip, Polly and the boys went to Florida for a week.

It was great to see every­one again after all these years. I couldn’t get over how we all looked like we used to (o f course with age gracefully added), but people’s voices sounded different to me. I must add that I was the only one who thought this; everyone else said we all sounded as we did fifteen years ago. Mrs. Shepherd and Mrs. Baker were there, too, and it was great to see them. Jane, as I have reported, is an urban planner; Ellen is an artist, and Cindy teaches kindergarten at PDS. Sue is a lawyer, and I am happy in my work as a college administrator.KATHY SITTIG Dunlop wrote a long note. Her husband Richard is corporate controller for Acme Markets.

Something had to be good about the old school.1929RICHARD GRAHAM KIRCHNER sends us Groundhog Day greetings. Coming, as that date does, betwixt all publication times, I can only belatedly pass this on. Richard has been busy with travel and family and a French-speaking dog. His daughter Martha is working for IRS, formerly in Paris and now here “ as effective a worker as she had proved herself in Paris.” Better be darn careful what goes into that next return of yours.

I never thought I would do class notes to my mind, an anathema. However, I did not reckon with Harold l rdman’s persuasive­ness. As a result, I have received several quite wonderful letters as a reward - plus a chance to catch up on fellows I had not seen or heard from in decades.Starting with the class of 1935 (PCD), JACK BROOKS, a very successful writer, is now

president of the 5,000 Member Authors Guild, a truly impressive achievement. Jack, who writes on business subjects for the New Yorker (later to be published in book form), has been in the midst of de­fending authors’ rights in various corporate takeover attempts, which tend to consoli­date publishing houses to the detriment of the authors. To quote Jack: “ Books are degraded to the status of a commodity and those of merit are being squeezed out of sight by the conglomerate-hyped and packaged best sellers.” Jack has had plenty of opportunity to flex his muscles of late with takeover attempts on the Book-of-the- Month. McGraw-Hill, Lippincott and others. Keep fighting. Jack!ANDREW IMBRIE, the gifted pianist and composer, was commissioned several years ago by the Lyric Opera of Chicago to do an opera for the Bicentennial. The work is called Angle o f Repose.As to the class of 1936, I received a long letter from HENRY BAKER, who is retired and living near two daughters in San Francisco.

JOHN COOK was perhaps best known for his feats on the ice and the pitcher’s mound at PCD. Now approaching middle age like the rest of us, he has kept up with the hockey, but dropped baseball along the way when his fastball lost its zip and his nickle curve no longer fooled the big hitters.Now running has become a big part in John’s life, not just a few laps around the block when the weather is nice, but serious running of around 90 miles a week. This has led him, naturally enough, into several area marathons. He did well enough in one of these, finishing 26 miles in under three hours, to qualify for the big daddy of them all, the Boston Marathon.This spring he ran in the well-known event for the first time along with some 4,300 other participants. Runners are lined up at the starting line according to their qualifying times, and this left John well back in the pack, with number 3,897. As a matter of fact, it took him almost three minutes just to get across the starting line after the gun sounded. He again broke the three-hour mark, finishing with a time of 2:59:12, somewhere in the middle. John reports he enjoyed the event immensely, especially the part through Wellesley and the crowds as he got near the finish line. He also had some interesting company for part of the route, a guy in a tuxedo who kept pace with him for 10 miles.

Another long lost classmate has been heard from. KITZY BECKER reports that she has been living in New York since 1973 and making her living as a stage manager. Although Kitzy works freelance, for the last two and a half years she has settled in as a regular member of Joe Papp’s “stable” of stage managers at the New York Shakespeare Festival at the Public Theatre. She has worked on many shows ranging from Shakespeare to contemporary playwrights. This provides Kitzy with the opportunity of working with many famous and not-so- famous actors, directors and designers. Kitzy says she has developed a special and personal loyalty to Joseph Papp, who is “ truly an extraordinary and charismatic man.”MARGERY CUYLER writes the happy news that she is going to be married in September. The groom-to-be, John Perkins, is a Jungian analyst. The Perkins will live in Connecticut and Margery will commute to New York. Holiday House just published Ghost Poems edited by Daisy Wallace (Margery’s nom de plume) and The All Around Pumpkin Book by Margery will be released in September by Holt, Rinehart and Winston.

More happy news was announced in the news­papers recently. BARBARA SULLIVAN is engaged to Wallace C. Murchison and will be married in Princeton on May 19. Barbara is presently an attorney in the office of the Solicitor, United States Department of Labor in Washington, D.C. The future bridegroom is an attorney with the National Labor Relations Board in Washington.ENID SACKIN writes from New York that she’s very busy and that she saw PATIENCE MORGAN in a movie theater.

Many changes have occurred since the last issue. I was married on March 3, 1979 to Bruce N. Faber in Princeton. Bruce is a sales representative for Norwalk Typographers in Connecticut, and makes the daily trek northward via the New Haven R.R. I take the subway south to Madison Avenue where I'm assistant marketing manager at Praeger Publishers, which is owned by Holt, Rinehart & Winston, and ultimately CBS. The job is a lot of work, but challenging. But getting back to the wedding - it was, among other things, the occasion of a unique reunion of sorts for our PDS class. PHOEBE KNAPP Hew cast from Montana, MARY YOUNG Bragado came in from Cleveland with her month-old son, Julio Bragado-Young. And JULIA LOCKWOOD came down from Boston where she practices medicine. Other PDSers included CHRIS OTIS. I RANNY GORMAN Whitby, MARY COMBS and MARY WOODBRIDGE Lott. One who couldn't be there was 1 R ANCOISE FOASSIER Cougrand, who sent the follow­ing news from France: “ I’ve got a new address, that is to say a house, where I’d love to receive everybody (and a garden to set up tents!). I’d like to see all of you JO SCHLOSSBERG McConaghy and her husband are coming at the beginning of July.” Francoise goes on to say, “Julien is one, and a lot of fun. Peggy is almost five and a great help with the gardening. I often think of Princeton and all my friends, par­ticularly on occasions like Sue’s wedding.” ALIX DILWORTH writes that all is well and that she is still studying accounting and working with a C.P.A. She’s going to England and Ireland this summer to visit her older brother and his family who live in London.PAM ERICKSON MacConnell sends news too: “I married John C. MacConnell. Jr. on December 31, 1977. I’ve known John since my freshman year in college and we started dating in 1973. He’s just finishing his last year of law school and intends to practice criminal law in Orlando. I am still a medical sales rep and now work for Cutter Labora­tories selling intravenous solutions/sets and clinical nutrition products. 1 love it! Still have my house outside of Orlando and would love to have visitors on their way to Disney World! Have talked to BREE ROSI Merrick recently - she is expecting her

Planning an excursion to New Orleans in April . . . should be great fun .”Staying on the East Coast for a bit, MAZZIE MADEIRA writes, “ I work all day (I’m a computer systems designer for a manage­ment consulting company in Cambridge - Index Systems, Inc.). We do tons o f con­sulting for BIG business and I travel some. Anyhow my work supports my court time (I am now playing tennis like a wild woman no more s q u as h -co u ld n ’t find a place to play in Boston that d idn’t cost too much) and I play 5-6 hours a week. And I run (if the weather will ever get better) 20-25 miles a week. And play (i.e., socialize). And th a t ’s about it. It doesn’t sound like much, but when you throw in cleaning the condo, doing your laundry and all the other things you gotta d o - I never seem to have much time left to sleep!!” It certainly sounds to me as though you are doing a lo t - m a y b e too much, Mazzie. Hang in there.I received a long letter from SUSAN KOCH Slimmon this winter. It sounds as though her children are thriving in the woods of Vermont. “Becca (now 6) is a very good dancer. T hey ’ve put her in 1st and 2nd grade classes. She is a natural athlete (my daughter?), very good in gymnastics and a good student. Sarah (4 'A) loves art and drawing, though she too is a good athlete. Loves to ski and do gymnastics too, and doing very well in school. Elizabeth (2Vi) is talking a blue streak. Looks and acts just like me but has blue eyes and brown hair. A real character and very smart.” The Slimmons went to Disney World in January,

but when they are in Vermont, Susan runs an art school where her sister-in-law teaches art and they have classes of all ages. Her husband, Rob, is going on his own in business in insurance. He has a book on pensions that is due to be published in June by Prentice-Hall. Both Susan and Rob cross­country ski and play some tennis. She also wrote, “ We start tapping our trees today so p u t in your syrup order now !” Think I will.JOE CHANDLER wrote in February to say h e ’s had a hectic winter. He’s studying for his general exams and has been very pre­occupied with school. . . and anxious to finish up at U. Conn.SIA GODFREY Bauer also responded this winter with a postcard noting, “Wonderful to hear from you. Am sorry for not re­sponding s o o n e r-a n d hope we can be better about getting together in the future. I switched jobs in October and am with a landscape architecture firm in Avon, Conn. and love it. Charles campaigned exhaustingly and was successful for Judge o f Probate for Burlington so is doing that plus his job. We’ve been busy. I’m not into any sport now and miss it t rem end ou s ly -on e of the things I want to change. We have a small house on a lake and would love to have you come to visit —it really is not far.” See you this summer, Sia!Now to the West Coast. NANCY FLAGG dropped me a note this winter: “Thanks for your note. I really enjoyed the 10th year reunion booklet you put together about our class. It was interesting to know what others were doing. Wish I could have been there! I finish my pediatric residency in June, and after a m o n th ’s vacation 1 will join the staff o f the East Los Angeles Child and Youth Clinic and I will also be a clinical instructor of Pediatrics at the USC Medical School. I really love taking care o f kids, and I love Los Angeles. You all can keep the snow!!”MICHAEL L. HART wrote to me in the fall. “ I am still living in a small town on the California coast, spending my free time gardening, dancing and travelling as much as I can. I taught Spanish on the adult educa­tion level here and English at a small private school north of here last spring, but the Jarvis-Shan law has disrupted both o f those jobs, so I am currently looking for new ways to continue teaching. I ’m happy and active, and sorry I cou ldn’t make it for my 10-year reunion!” See you at the 15th m ay b e—Finally, an update on myself. I am leaving my job of four years at Yale this June; taking the summer off to enjoy Chris topher (almost two) and to take many day trips in Connecticut; then will be the Assistant Squash Coach for the w om en’s team at Yale. I am truly excited about this venture as it brings together many things I have always wanted to do: teach, be active in a sport, travel part-time (the squash season is only 6-7 m onths o f the year), work, and en­courage other young women to participate in sports. My husband Eric is finishing up his residency in Radiology and will begin work on staff at Waterbury Hospital (Conn.) in July, with a specialty in CAT (Computerized Axial Tomography) scanner and ultrasound. We shall stay in Hamden until we find another house that is mid-way between Yale and Waterbury, so neither of us has to commute too far. I will be in Princeton on June 16th to be in my sister’s wedding (Nancy Hobler ex-’74). Nancy is marrying Tony Trani who is presently going to Princeton U. and so they shall be in Princeton for another year while he finishes his studies. Until the next issue, have a good summer and I look forward to hearing from you in the fall!

Greetings and salutations, ye faithful readers. My column has been sparce these past months (years?) due to a mysterious experience called 'getting through college.’ Now I am safely graduated and will con­tinue to astound you with the exploits of your classmates. Pour your favorite drink, or whatever, sit back, and read on. RICK ALBERT is presently living in California selling 'hot tubs.’ STEVE BASH is still teaching at a day school in Asheville, NC. His note says something about being happy with a northern pixie who is teaching him I d o n ’t know what. Hubba! hubba! JEAN BECKWITH lives in D.C. where she lets KENZIE CARPENTER come and play in her radio station. The rumor is that Kenzie will be campaigning for Harold Stassen, whom she reports is “ a sure bet for '8 0 .” AYRES BROWN was seen driving his new Fleetwood Cadillac around Princeton after a successful foray in Atlantic City. MIKE CAGAN (alias Litt le Biggie) is ’72 ’s answer to Chris Reeve ’70. Mike is currently star­ring in an erotic art movie entitled “Candy Comes Unraveled.” I have not yet seen it, but I understand that he is the hit o f the movie. JON and ELLEN CHILTON are both in medical school in the wintry environs of Rochester, NY. They will be happily moving south when their schooling ends (remember, Jon was the guy with the year-round tan). JOHN COFFEE graduated last year from Princeton, and since has led a successful life in political campaigning. As of this writing, however, I believe he has forsaken it all and left for the southwest.HOWE CONSTABLE, was last seen rippiftg- e-ff selling a stereo tape deck to ELLEN SUSSMAN and fiance at Tech HiFi in Lawrence Township. No one knows where Howe is, but Ellen is living in Philadelphia preparing to get married (Ellen, you never sent me his name!). K. C. CONSTABLE attends nursing school in D.C. when not playing an awesome game of squash. FRED DALRYMPLE is challenging IBM with his knowledge of computers while working for some type o f programming company in N.J. JODY ERDMAN is finishing up at the Boston Museum School and will then probably accept a very ‘trying’ teaching assignment on St. Croix. GIOVANNI FERRANTE is happily married and happily ? working in med school. No more Zombie punches, eh Geoff? JIM FIGG was recently spotted on the society page o f the Coney Island Star-Gazette. KINNEY 1 RELING- HUYSEN is working hard at becoming the next Henry Moore by working at the Johnson-Atelier here in Princeton. PIETER FISHER presently lives in one of the most fashionable areas o f Manhat tan, after having moved Irom Washington, D.C.’s most exclusive neighborhood. At the moment Pieter is one o f the more eligible bachelors in New York, seen in 54 or Doubles every night. He told me, however, that soon he will be employed in advertising because he is tired of sleeping all day. Ah. to be young, rich and handsome again. PAUL FUNK has a new job. Paul used to be associated with Perry’s Janitorial Service in Phila­delphia. but since arriving in Manhattan, he is now employed by Chubb and Son Insurance. PAUL GIANCOLA was last seen proposing to LAURIE MERRICK in the Rusty Scupper. Some things never change. ROB GIPS is finally working. Rob is in Heaven as he grinds away every night at Yale Law School. JEREM GORDON owns and operates a very successful disco in

Lakeville, Illinois. JOHN GORDON and spouse live in Vermont, as he continues to create the finest furniture this side o f the Delaware River. STEVE GORMAN is tearing apart California. After a stint as bartender in Clint Eas tw ood’s bar, Steve is now making it big in realSSestate. KARIN GROSZ and MARY JOHNSON have been seen zooming around Princeton late at night. Karin works at East/West Limited and Mary works at the C omptroller’s office at Princeton. JAN HALL was last heard from when she very kindly offered to write this column. She is teaching high school in western Mass. BEN HARVEY is now an assistant producer for ABC Sports. He must be very busy because he never answers his calls! BOGEY HEREFORD is doing some­thing in Boston, but I talked to him very late one night at a party and for some funny reason I can’t remember what he told me. DICKIE HUBER is as smooth as ever. He has been an environmental consultant in South America for the last two years and will be returning to the Big Apple this December. Younger sister, Casilda ’76, has been trying to live up to his image here in Princeton, but she isn’t there yet. BETH JOHNSON has been living in Princeton recently, working at the U Store and trying to figure out the next exotic country to travel through.JOHN KALPIN, as far as I know, is still living in Belle Mead with his wife and children. John, Sarah Strong ’73 says a fond hello.By the time you read this, ALEX LAUGH LIN will be married to a real.. . oh, hi J an e t , . . . to a very nice young lady, Janet Keller. Alex sends his regrets to all of his female classmates with whom he had passionate affairs, he is sorry that he could not marry all o f you and live happily ever after at Oak Valley. But you will all be happy to know that Janet is really neat and I’ll write about what a wild wedding it was in the next issue, so stay tuned.ED LAVINTHAL is reportedly controlling a small casino on the outskirts o f Atlantic City. With E d’s p r e d i c t i o n towards silky women and tastefully decorated cars, I know that he must be very happy down there. Does anyone know where JOHN LOCKETTE is? He owes me a large sum of money. Just kidding. John, we want to hear from you. No one knows where you are, please tell us. JAY MacAFFEE has been the most faithful correspondent each time those silly little cards are sent out for you all to fill out . Why not just (all o f you) send me a real postcard with a nice picture on the front, whenever you get the urge? Sorry, Jay. Jay is just about to finish law school in Oregon, after which I believe he wants to re-enact the Scopes trial.LINDA MALSBURY is working for The Eye For Art here in Princeton. Linda saved my life last spring by allowing me to grad­uate from college (why did they ever let me out?), but th a t’s another story.PETER McCANDLESS is living in San Fran­cisco and loving it. His father told me that Peter has become a very successful artist/ photographer, even having one o f his pho to ­graphs hanging in an executive’s office o f Eastman Kodak in Rochester. ALAN MILLS is living in Arizona with his lovely wife. If memory serves me correctly, he has a geological exploration company. LEDLIE BORGERHOFF is living in Brunswick, Maine, home of the Bowdoin Polar Bears (and the Tuesday Club which needs beer). Ledlie is currently directing a mime and theater group, saying that Brunswick is safer than Broadway. O.K. ARTIE MITT- NACHT has fled to the wilds o f Vermont in order to achieve his law degree. Ac­tually, he confided in me and said that Vermont was the only state not having a

29

shortage o f Jack Daniels. TOMMY MYERS, Zander Kennedy ’73 and others have finally made it big in the world o f music. They put safety pins in their cheeks; dyed their hair orange, green and blue; and renounced the world. They immediately became smash hits in the punk rock world. Truly though, Tommy and company have been quite suc­cessful in rock ’n roll New York. The band has played at a num ber o f well-known clubs, and is currently negotiating a record con­tract. KIM OTIS, well-known among the ladies as a dashing Scandinavian blond, has surfaced on the Amtrak trains between Newark and New York. I asked him what he was up to and he said; “ Oh, about 5 ’11” .” No, he told me that he is finishing N.Y.U. Law School and will be working for a prom­inent judge in Tren ton this summer. TOM REYNOLDS has moved to his ranch in Fort Worth, where 1 believe he is giving guitar les­sons to Waylon Jennings. Our cosmic mes­senger o f art, MICHAEL SAVAGE, is living in the Village (aren 't you?) and carrying on in the Mann Ray tradition. SAM STARKEY to ld m e th a t he was living in Philthadelphia, cleaning up all the loose ends o f the vener­able Mayor Rizzo; b u t 1 th ink Sam is actu­ally working for the Girard Bank. TED VOGT followed George Packard to Paris be­cause he still wasn’t certain that Packard meant by “ the tip o f the iceberg.” Ted is in Paris, and d o n ’t quo te me, but I ’m pretty sure that lie is starting a newspaper. He was definitely a journalist there at one point, maybe he became tired o f not being his own editor. Y ou’ll never believe what LUCIEN YOKANA is up to. See, 1 told you you wouldn’t believe it. Last summer Lucien traveled to Spain to write his first historical book. The book is about the history that all o f you helped him to create. After reading the first galley, I hope Lucien has a very good lawyer because I know that I am going to sue him for slander for every penny that he is worth. Lucien is now putting the ad­vertising world on its ear, as he is working for Grey Advertising Com pany in New York. STEVE ZUDNAK and wife were patient enought to entertain me at a cocktail party given by Hugh Boyd ’73 and wife a few months back. Steve had me laughing so much that I have forgotten what he is doing these days.JOHN MOORE will be leaving on a three- inonth, around-the-world cruise aboard the QE II once he is awarded his sett lement in his slander case against Lucien. Previous to this, he sailed across the Atlantic to London, where he conducted a private survey on the effects o f hard liquor on English women. It was so interesting that he is now working for the Gallup Poll. Have a sunny summer.

To those o f you who were disappointed by the absence o f the column of ’74 last fall, my most sincere apologies and wish to as­sure you all that 1 have not taken to a mad splurge o f temporary laziness, nor do I feel

personal revulsion at the sight o f another yellow legal pad after so many years of writing papers in early morning hours. The fact is simply that I was absent from the country for four months and unable to col­lect all necessary data for the Journal. Now that I am back at home base, I find it’s easier to think PDS, seeing familiar younger faces hanging out uptown on Friday after­noons with double-dipped Buxton ice cream cones, talking about what the night’s party will bring.Much has happened in the past year. Big moves are being made in general ways. Among the knots to be tied, I have the pleasure o f announcing a few marriage plans: old friend CANDY KANE plans to marry this September in Sewickley, PA, and I am thrilled to say that I will be a brides­maid! Two June weddings are set: NANCY HOBLER to Anthony Trani and JOAN MERRICK to my ex-painting partner, Chris Schneeweiss; both boys from Princeton. DIANA LEWIS and KEITH PLAPINGER will be in Joa n ’s wedding. I’ve also just re­ceived news o f LAURA MALI’s engagement to Michael Astrue, and SANDY BUCK to Anne Emmons. Now that a substantial clump o f marriages have been initiated, I feel sure one day I’m going to receive an even greater wad of newspaper clippings with news o f fellow followers, and hereby do hold this particular group forevermore responsible! The best o f luck and happiness to all o f you.And now I will re turn to my more organized alphabetical fashion. I spoke to CHRIS AALL on the phone in Paris this fall, where I finished school. He is completing his final year in mechanical engineering in Zurich and has applied to several business schools in the Sta tes for the fall. We made an at­tempt to rendezvous, b u t unfortunately this intention had to be abruptly cancelled due to a certain party o f gypsies who just hap­pened to arrange an evening’s celebration at my expense with the contents o f my wallet. I believe Chris will return to the Sta tes this August, when he will be ready to practice the customs of the American s tudent, so that he may ease his way into fraternities with confidence. LISA BACHELDER grad­uated from Wellesley last June and has made a place for herself in NYC, where she works for Citibank. EVAN BASH is in Philadelphia at Jefferson Medical College working very hard. As for KEMP BATTLE, who told me to use my discretion when reporting on his activities, and suggested not even bothering, I feel that , having withstood the shock, as­similated and survived all news o f him by heresay, under the morals o f any news re­porter (if there are any), brief mention of his name and news that he is well will suf­fice for the moment.LISA BENNETT, au thor at hand and o f a slightly more conventional nature, finished her last term of college in Paris this past fall. Some o f you may raise your eyebrows in slight suspicion and remember Mr. Poole’s advice back in eighth grade to take up Span­ish “ just to see if you have a chance.” Four m onths in France is not enough to learn to speak the language fluently, at least by someone like me who finds verb forms and conjugations merely inconvenient and wasted effort. But I do feel knowledgeable enough to say that a vocabulary o f nouns is very handy, along with some im portant phrases such as “ ou est?” and perhaps a knack at dramatics. For instance, when the need is imperative, a squeeky “ toilette,” a pained look in the eyes and facial con tor­tions, wild hand Hurries and crossing o f legs will undoubtedly relay the message. I have found this type o f communication helped me in my travels throughout. This year has been qui te a whirlwind o f faces and places for me. I just returned from a two-month

visit to the Far East with a good friend whose family is living in Japan. It was a wonderful and a learning experience. I feel very lucky to have been with friends in Tokyo, people who are familiar with the country and its customs. Now that I’m back and have caught my breath, I am making constructive plans for NYC and hope to be working there this fall.Welcome back to Princeton, JOHN, Dan- et te and Dannelle BOYD, and congratula­tions on your beautiful, bouncing daughter, John and Danet te.I received a salt-spattered letter from JOHN BRAGG, posted from a cab o f seventeen- ton something-or-other from the waters o f Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, where he was breaking ice as part o f a seismic survey. John owns land outside Fairbanks and plans to buy more this spring and start building. MERIEL BURTLE visited us last August for a fleeting tw o davs. It was terrific seeing her, and she’s as good as ever! She graduated from Stand- ford last June with a B.A. in political science, then spent last summer working in NYC for Carol Bellamy, City Council presi­dent. She also did some volunteering for an ERA extension rally in NYC. I couldn’t help but laugh when she told me she was taking math at NYU, with the intention o f con­quering the quantitative world. Meriel and I share fond memories o f back row seats th roughout four years o f math, and not even getting close to Algebra II ’s length of trig. However, she must have come close to something last summer, now that she has started a public policy internship in San Francisco called the Coro Foundation , which she enjoys. Come back and visit, Burt!I had a great letter from CYRA CAIN, who is graduating from U. o f Arizona this May with a B.A. in plant pathology. “ Somewhat o f a psuedo-scientist,” she says, “ but basi­cally a botanist .” She secs MARY FOWLE out there occasionally. Mary is happy and going to music school. Cyra took six months o ff and worked for the Wind River National Forest in Washington as a firefighter and “ reforestation assistant,” which entailed keeping close watch on all re-planted timber. She also worked at a bee research lab as a lab assistant in determining nutri t ional re­quirements o f the honey bees. She loved the work and hopes to set up her own colonies one day. Cyra’s roots are now out yonder; her Mom loves San Diego, and her sister and family live in Crescent City, near the Cali­fornia and Oregon borders. Cyra will be here for a visit at the end of May.... in the mean­time she asks for all, with special regards to DIANA, CARIN, LIBBY, TRINA (where are you?), ELEANOR and MICHELLE (you too?).CAMILLA CARPENTER has left the ivy- covered walls o f Princeton and is now in NYC, where she is attending art history grad school at NYU and working tremendously hard. I bumped into her one wintry day within the marble halls o f the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where she was working part-time. I was in search o f a tiny section on art nouveau, which Camilla led me to with ease. She’s doing extremely well, al­though overworked, and is very happy in the Big A.Beyond the mid-west, at the seaside of Santa Barbara, we find the Sunshine Girl, CATHY CIPOLLA. Also out there is CAM FERRANTE, teaching at the Dunn School and enjoying it. Since it’s pret ty isolated, he visits NANCY KENDALL in L.A. fairly often. Cam plans to stay in California for a while, but wants to find o ther work. In the meantime he’s taking advantage o f the re­laxed life and the sunshine.LIBBY FARR and her husband Curt are moving to St. Paul in June af ter he finishes school. Libby saw TRINA KASSLER, who

30

was travelling the southwest with her mom. Keep in touch, you two!TED DOWEY and COLE HARROP patron­ize the dinky for a ride home, resting their weary minds from the demands of Colum­bian work in NYC. They may be found playing gin or backgammon, glass o f Per­rier at hand.TIMMY HAMID checks in every once in a while. He is doing odd jobs in and out o f •NYC, hanging out, keeping himself occu­pied and enjoying himself. His guitar is al­ways at hand, and he has abandoned the Eagles music and is mastering the pulsating ry thym o f disco. He and RON SMITH are going to Hawaii in July. They plan to build a house on R on ’s property in Maui. WENDY FRIEMAN has also relocated and is living in Palo Alto, California. She works for SRI In­ternat ional on technology transfer, particu­larly China projects.JILL GOLDMAN is a chemist, mixing potions for ICI Americas in Newark, Dela­ware. She began work last August, after a re­warding graduation trip to Europe.A small Boston group has formed: within the realm o f Nathaniel Hall live CINDY HILL, who is presently doing paralegal work, is happy, and I promise not to do any embroidery work, so I’ll bring on DIANA LEWIS. Di works for the adminis tration of Simmons College with some lengthy dist in­guished title, and is living with CARIN LAUGHLIN, who is finishing school at B.U., majoring in ceramics. They both had to change their looks to keep with the B.U. s tudents, so Di sports the close-cropped look while Carin tosses curls!I feel inspired now, and want to reflect upon a late evening spent by all o f us over the Christmas holidays, a nice time for old friends to get together and crack up. I f any­one doubts that this particular group would ever consider pouring alcohol in the shape o f a peace sign and setting it on fire in Dr. Ross’ IPS room, or if we ever partook of smothering the wall clock in spitballs when Mr. Rulon-Miller was out, please reconsider your judgment! Even if it has been five years since we were PDSers, th a t ’s still not long enough to quiet the devil!Another fellow trouble-maker, NANCY KENDALL, has not only gone California, but has shot for Hollywood as well.Not ex­actly working with films, but as “ screener/ assistant producer” at KABC, the L.A. talk-radio station, she even has a union card. She is also doing a part-time in te rn­ship at the public TV station, another foot in the door. I'm looking forward to seeing you in June, Nance!My main connection in NYC, KEITH PLAPINGER, lives in a smart pied-a-terre, wears good looking business suits, has a wardrobe o f Ralph Lauren polo wear and weekends where he wants. He’s doing well, training at Macy’s, is busy and seems happier than ever.A belated congratulations to DIANA ROBERTS and Bart Smith, who are the proud parents o f Orion Wilson Smith, born in November, 1977. Diana completes Wellesley this year while Bart is teaching, and they still live in Dedham, MA.Saw ALICE RODGERS over Christmas. She is finishing school at Hartwick College this year. Also ran into BETH ROSS on a street in Paris this fall, during a power fail­ure and a frantic taxi search so I could get to the airport and home! Four m onths in Paris, and I run into Beth five minutes be­fore I leave. I d idn’t get all that much in­formation, except she’s in Paris till this spring and was gett ing ready for a trip to Morocco.SAB RUSSO, last seen running home from church Easter Sunday, finishes Ithaca this year.

search and is now involved in a bio-chemistry program at Yale. FRAN TREVES graduates from Carnegie Mellon this year and has won a $2500 travelling scholarship from the De­partment o f Architecture . He spent last summer at the U. o f Uricino, Italy studying Italian and Renaissance painting.TERRY WARD also is a graduate o f the class o f ’79 and hopes to teach prep school history next year before going either to law or seminary school. He is busy with varsity baseball, chamber singing and jack-of-all- trades, running the social bus from Haver- ford to Bryn Mawr. And finally, having just spoken to her on the phone, LUCY WHIT- TEMORE is still living in Boston, where she finished Wheelock. She recently returned from a fantastic six-week trip all over the Far East with her mother. She’ll be back in Edgartown this summer, working as assistant manager to the ’’Golden D oor” store, which deals in Eastern clothing and treasures. Right now she’s doing a survey on bars and dancing places in Boston for an educational review for sociologists studying the new gen­eration. She goes in disguise so no one can distinguish her in the crowd!This is the end o f my news. I f I left anyone out, I apologize, but the little cards are dif­ficult to hold on to for a full year. Please keep up your correspondence, as you’d be surprised at how many people care about reading about everybody.Final notice: if anyone is looking for a room in a house near Princeton, contact JOHN LEYZOREC, who plans to buy and wants to extend this invitation.It has been five years now. I hope some of you will at tend Alumni Day on May 5th, and I also want to encourage you all to sup­port the school’s money bags. Till next time. . .

After a two-issue hiatus, it is high time to fill our readers in on the comings and goings, albeit outda ted , o f the class o f 1 9 7 5 .1 must admit I took the s tatement “ no news is good news” quite literally. Now it is time to report what that good news is and was, es­pecially since many members o f our class have faithfully communicated with me despite my negligence. I will share all the in­formation I have on our class and, whenever

possible, will clarify how up-to-date the news is.1979 - did you ever think this year would come, beckoning 1980 and George Orwell’s 1984 that some o f us read in 9 th grade Eng­lish with Peter Sears? F or a small portion of our class, this magic number finds them with the “ k n o t” tied or waiting to do so. F or another portion, 1979 promises an end to another year at college or continuation o f travel and /or employment. And finally, for the rest, an end to one o f life’s chapters to be marked by graduation.Back in the Spring 1978 Journal, I incor­rectly reported that LISA MITTNACHT was the first member o f our class to be engaged. I stand corrected. DOUGLAS ROBINSON was married to Marsha Louise Wicrman on May 27, 1978. As o f last year, Doug was at­tending Arizona Sta te University and pursu­ing a pre-med curriculum. In fact he has been on the Dean’s List with straight A ’s. Now that is impressive. Last summer he was in Arizona taking summer classes while Marsha worked as a bank teller. They antici­pated remaining in the Arizona area, especi­ally since the weather is more tolerable than here. How correct!SARA BRISTOL has announced her engage­ment to Peter A. Ritchie. She graduated from Bennett College. They plan to be mar­ried in June. Congratulations and best wishes.In the summer o f 1978 LISA MITTNACHT was married to James S. Barbour in the Princeton University Chapel. If I might add a personal sideline: this was my first wedding invitation, and I felt joy and sadness to see Lisa walk down the aisle. Joy because this is such a big step and she seemed so radiant and happy. Sad because it marked the close o f a chapter for me, as we are no longer the kids who walked the halls o f PDS; we are, instead, becoming adults and going forth into a different sphere o f influence. Among the folks from our class who at tended the lovely wedding and reception at Bedens Brook were DICK GORDON, MARJIE WILLIAMS, SALLY SCHLUTER, KATHY BURKS, ANNE RUSSELL and GAY WILMERDING. Marjie is an assistant editor at Harcourt, Brace & Company. According to STEVE MANTELL, she is very happy there. During the summer of 1978 she vacationed in Italy with her family and SUZANNE BISHOP. Tough life. Suzanne remarked that she “ w ouldn’t mind spending time there after school.” She is nearing graduation and apparently has mixed feel­ings. CAROLINE ERDMAN visited with

31

Suzanne at Denison this year in scenic Ohio. Her future is unclear, but she is planning to ente r the field o f advertising.The reason Steve was so informed about Marjie is that he took last year o ff from Princeton to work in New York. 1 am sure if I gave you three guesses, you might be able to come up with the correct answer, but, instead, I will be kind enough to fill you in. Our cx-Observer editor was writing and producing commercials for an advertis­ing agency. His work included such accounts as Broadway shows (“ Dancin’ ” ) and Atlantic City, with exposure on both television and radio. Steve spent the year living in the Big Apple, and planned on returning to Princeton in the fall. He has changed majors and now finds himself in English and Theater; in fact he has directed at Theater Intime during last spring and fall. (Did I get that correct? You should sec my chicken scratch). As usual, Steve, you manage to keep yourself inor­dinately occupied.SALLY SCHLUTER took the 1977-1978 academic year off from Kirkland/Hamilton. She kept active by taking courses in Italy and at the Philadelphia Art School. On top o f that, she at tended summer school at the University o f Virginia, pursuing graduate level English courses. Sally anticipates graduating from Kirkland this spring. So much for those leaves o f absence where one spends time travelling around the world. KATHY BURKS was a member o f the corporate scene last summer as an employee o f Chemical Bank in NYC. Her job sounded equally interesting and challenging. To top it off, she lived with another PDSer, ELLEN ALBERT, who worked in a bakery in the city and as a volunteer at Print Magazine, an art publication. They expected to have such visitors as MOLLY SWORD and CAROLINE ERDMAN.ANNE RUSSEL learned to play soccer in the fall o f 1977 from ALISON HUGHES who was in Spain during the spring o f 1978. Anne spent intersession skiing in Colorado, but was back in chilly Princeton for the Princeton-Harvard hockey game during February 1978. Unfortunately the Crimson lost (a partisan sports enthusiast here). She returned to Colorado for the summer after a hectic spring semester filled with lacrosse and her junior paper. She was employed in Steamboat Springs, waitressing and cleaning ovens. (Did you use Mr. Muscle?) Hiking, swimming, tennis and a summer soccer league helped the days fly by. Spring 1979 finds Anne working on her thesis and pre­paring for lacrosse. In June and July she will trek through Spain with her family and in August she “ will be unemployed .” You may actually need a vacation from your vacation anyway.GAY WILMFRDING spent her junior year abroad on the Smith program and has been just about everywhere (maybe a little exaggeration). Gay can never keep still, thus she traveled to Switzerland, Tunisia, the Netherlands, Italy (with her family) and throughout France. Her residence was with a French family, complete with cook and several course meals (in fact, probably many more than several). No facetiousness in­tended. I spent my spring vacation visiting both Gay and MARGET JACOBUS. Having been to France previously as a “ typical” tourist, what a pleasure to be in someone’s home and partaking o f the French culture. Gay was back in the U.S. by August 1978, and working for a short period o f time at Short and Ford Architects (am trying to improve my meager humor), then back to Smith for a final year. As usual, she took a heavy academic load on top o f her duties in the debate club, but there was enough time to ski in Verm ont during Christmas and interterm on the East Coast and to vacation in the British Virgin Islands in the spring.

Next year Gay will be in sunny California pursuing a degree in architecture at the University o f California at Berkeley. THERON (formerly TAD) VAN DUSEN also spent his junior year abroad on the Smith program, but instead was at the University o f Geneva, Switzerland. His academic load included four courses at the graduate school, three at the undergraduate level and at least three were in French. During the Christmas holidays he skiied in Meribel, France with Dutch friends. His touring included five weeks in Paris and visits to Holland and England. My goodness, these folks who go abroad certainly get around. Theron returned to Penn this year with his work cut out for him: he is major­ing in international relations and in the Annenberg School o f Communications. (That academic program includes two theses!!)DAVID BECKWITH was also at the Univer­sity o f Geneva on the Kent Sta te program for one semester. He is recovering well from his serious burns suffered in 1977 on the job in Alaska.DAVID PUSCHEL APGAR entered Balliol College of Oxford University, Oxford, England, this past fall to read philosophy and physics. He received the degree of Bachelor o f Arts, magna cum laude, in history and literature from Harvard Univer­sity in June 1978. Last summer he traveled through Czechoslovakia and East and West Germany as a research editor for L e t’s Go: Europe, a Harvard s tudent’s agencies publication.Another Europe-bound class member was RUTH BARACH. She was in England last summer in a Sheffield University sponsored program headed by Dr. Richard Hodges, which dealt with Prehistoric, Roman and Early Medieval Archaeology. The program receives high marks from Ruth. She spent three weeks digging in the Peak district, where they found a Roman “villa” o f sorts. Prior to the program, she was in southern England for two weeks and afterwards for ten days in Scotland. This fall, besides working on her thesis, Ruth will be aiding her classics professor on his research dealing with southern Italy. The latter has been made possible by her receipt o f a Larorary research grant.As usual, “ our world traveler” has been located (as o f June 19, 1978) in Crete, although when this goes to print he will probably have graduated from Haverford and be on the road again. O f course, I am talking about PHILIP BENSON, esquire. Phil spent his junior year studying at the American University in Cairo, which he calls “ a country club for the rich Egyptians.” Nonetheless, he enjoyed his courses and has crystallized his thoughts vis-a-vis the Middle East. His year in Egypt has exposed him to the realities o f “ peace,” including visits to the West Bank; seeing things first-hand came as quite a shock. He resided in an apartment with four others that overlooked the Nile. F rom his description of everyday life, it sounds like a mish mash of East and West. The le tter dated June 19 found Phil in Greece soaking up the sun and planning to head up to Belgium, where a job was waiting for him in August. This spring should find him ending up his academic career and possibly joining his parents af ter graduation. They have moved to Venezuela, b u t are building a house in Montana, where Phil would not mind settling. “ All I need to survive out there is a case o f Scotch and a carton o f books, and that doesn’t seem too hard to manage.” Amen.Time to catch up with EDDAS BENNETT, albeit a little late. During the win ter o f 1978 she was in Puebla, Mexico, and back at Dartm outh for the spring. In addit ion to her school requirements, she was working in the

television studio on two projects and as production manager for Arthur Hall o f the Afro-American Dance Ensemble o f Phila­delphia. Mr. Hall was up at Dartm outh for the semester. This past summer Eddas was in Durham, NC as a company manager with the Dance Ensemble at the American Dance Festival. August took her back to Mexico, wherc she served as an assistant teacher, helping Dartmouth students learn Spanish. Then in January she anticipated attending the University o f California at Santa Cruz. Unfortunately, that is the latest news I have, bit that is certainly enough to keep anyone busy.SALLY WRIGHT took last year off from college, but did go abroad with a classical studies group through the honors depart­ment o f the University o f Colorado. She traveled to ten countries, including Egypt, Greece, France, Italy and Switzerland. Sally returned to Colorado in the fall to complete her studies in Fine Arts and Anthropology. This summer holds plans for Colorado or Princeton, with Boston on the slate for the fall.As o f April, 1978, SANDY LEHMANN was residing in New York City, since she and CHRIS CRAGG (who has since gone to William and Mary) were not suited to Vassar. Because of the apartment crunch and a desire not to be academic for a semester, she deferred her enrollment at Columbia until the fall o f 1978. Fortunately , she did find an apartment and was planning to be work­ing in France for the summer.MARGET JACOBUS picked up a British accent (it has since become a part o f her New Jersey one) while spending the year at Goldsmith’s College during her junior year abroad, although she will never admit it. Her courses included design/technology, geography of rural development and Shakes­peare. The food seemed to suit her; kidney pies, fish and chips, biscuits and beer. O f course she partook o f the museums, street markets and the architecture. During her spring break, Margct travelled to Paris to visit Gay, then down through Spain (via a thir ty hour train, was it?) and on to Morocco. Upon returning to the U.S., she joined her family in Maine, and then was back at Smith. As the final weeks o f college are approaching, she is seeking employment in architectural firms in the New England area.Last summer JOHN BRINSTER stayed at Ithaca College to take an extra course, then was o ff across the Atlantic for a European economics course. He studied in such cities as London, Brussels, Amsterdam, Luxem­bourg, Bonn, Zurich, Florence and Rome. Wow! A true whirlwind tour while learning. Purportedly he had a marvelous time. His father jokingly mentioned that John ran out o f money fairly quickly while abroad, thus he had not studied the economy o f Europe too well in advance. John anticipates graduating in May with a business major.The future may include a job with his father producing stern-drive products, selling and traveling whenever possible. He is friendly with two ex-PDSers at Ithaca, TERR IE GILMAN and LUCY ENGLANDER '19. He sees PETER CHALVERUS and MOO YOUNG frequently and communicates with LARS SELBERG in Boston. At last report (summer 1978), Peter was living in Penning­ton and working in his uncle’s factory in T ren ton , NJ. There was also time for him to take a vacation in Majorca and money to acquire a classic Mercedes to refurbish. According to Mr. VanDusen (also as of summer 1978), Moo was “ lean, bright-eyed and working at G.M. in Trenton. Last seen by our old C.A. doing a great job bartending at the O ’Connors.”A nother member o f our class is entering the family business: RIDGE FELL is working at

32

Cheney Flashing Company o f Trenton, NJ as a sales representative and is travelling extensively throughout the U.S. He looks well and states that he thoroughly enjoys the life o f a businessman. Phil was not the only one in the Middle East last summer. ABI CHILTON spent 2Vi m onths on a kibbutz in Israel. She had a wonderful time, except for some minor casualties, i.e. mangoitis (?), a full-length leg cast and a skin reaction to the sun. She was back at Muhlenburg this fall to complete her studies, although she feels college to be nonstimulat­ing after Israel; she hopes to return there soon. After graduation Abi will be settling in the Philadelphia area with friends and entering the work world before making any definite plans about graduate, school. She is considering either clinical or counseling psychology.Another personal note: I continue to be thankful to those members o f our class who wrote me despite my negligence, and Caron, among others, is one o f those people, as is Anne, Abi, Sally, Kathy, Elliott, Janet, Tina, Chuck, Susi, Harvey and others. CARON CADLE has been busy despite her back problems. She continues to be involved in the Orange Key Guide Service at Princeton University, and began work on her senior thesis early, a biography on SS General Kurt Daluege. She spent spring vacation (1978) in the National Archives in Washington, D.C. “wading through 16,000 pages o f microfilm records captured by the allies in WW II .” Last summer Caron was in Germany, East Germany, Poland and Czechoslovakia con­tinuing her research and trying to track down his surviving relatives. During her trip she also collected WW II toy soldiers for a library collection presented to Princeton University by the Class of 1939 (an article on her experience was published in the January 29, 1979 issue of the Princeton A lum ni Weekly). May I add that she was successful in her search. At last report , Caron was applying to business schools and various jobs. At least I can say I knew you w h e n__Now for the rest o f us who toiled here in the United S ta te s__As o f March 1978 EILY CAROTHERS was still attending Springfield College. In addit ion, she was employed at Alber t’s restaurant in the Springfield Marriott Hotel.NANCY PAINE was in her third year at Rutgers, majoring in elementary urban teacher education. Similar to Eily, she was working five days a week at the Nassau Inn. Studying and working at the same time is quite ambitious. Nancy is also a member o f Princeton’s First Aid and Rescue Squad, which she finds interesting work.Our future doctor, HARVEY WIENER, spent last summer at J&J Baby Products as a lab technician. O f course he did not work all the time; who would, if you had options?! Harvey opted for some sun and tennis. Graduation is May 13 and he anticipates at tending medical school next year. As for the summer, it looks like back to J&J. Might I add that Mr. Wiener is the first to pose the quest ion: when are we going to have our first reunion? Any answers or suggestions, classmates?Well, my joshing did turn out to be correct, as CHRIS CRAGG has moved down (in the world) to William and Mary, where she is very happy and majoring in English. Prior to her matriculat ion, she was involved in a play for the Princeton Community Players, and last summer took classes at T renton State. Old, old news: I ran into JANE KATZ at the Cezanne exhibit in NYC. She looked well and was attending the University o f Michigan at Ann Arbor. As of summer 1978: CINDY BROOKS had taken time off from Wellesley and was working in the Boston area. First, she was employed as a

tour guide for Greyline, but that was not her cup o f tea, so eventually she found her­self going to summer school and working part-time. As Eily and Nancy might at test to - it is difficult to do both. TIM FABIAN was attending the Art Inst i tute in Pittsburgh and studying photography. Concurrently he was putting his academics to good use as a part-time free-lance photographer. BILL McCLELLAN was in New Hampshire doing o u tdoor work. JUDITH GOEKE had com­pleted another year at Colorado College, where she was well and fostering an intense interest in photography. MOLLY SWORD had finished her last year at Denison in order to devote full time to music. She had a smash debut at her own 21st birthday party in New York City and THAT was the day of the blizzard back in the winter o f 1978. Among guests were SUZANNE BISHOP, CAROLINE ERDMAN and AMY STOVER. MICHAEL HILL was planning to return to school for his junior year, after spending the summer working. Can you imagine what some of his friends planned as a birthday surprise for him? A kidnapping. The victim: Mike! MARITA STURKEN and MOLLY MOYNAHAN were both travelling through Europe. ALISON HOPI'IELD was employed in Cambridge, MA by an econom­ics professor with plans to attend business school upon graduation from Harvard this spring. CHARLIE LIFLAND was also working in the Boston area for the summer. Parry Jones had an able assistant to help build his solar house, GRAYSON FERRANTE. LaVake’s was graced by MARY LANE for the summer, and I under­stand the academic year also. BILL G R A FF had worked for the state in the Bureau of Geology on a project involving Cape May county; he hoped to secure his first job in cartography there. Any luck. Bill?KIP HERRICK is completing her final year at Skidmore College after an enjoyable jun ior year at Mount Holyoke. Last summer she taught dance and theater at Northfield- Mount Herman, and anticipates teaching dance at a secondary school next year. Are you considering Hawaii as a possibility?? Madison, Wisconsin is certainly occupying LINDA FARLOW ’s time these days. During the summer she took two classes, while canoeing on the lakes and raising a kitten named Tiffany. H m m m , any relation to the one on Fif th Avenue? Presently she is on a leave o f absence, and working at Gimbel’s department store in Madison; the experience is both fun and valuable, she reports. As of February, Linda had just returned from a Florida vacation with her parents and was quite tanned compared to the folks in Madison. She has requested that ELLIOT PILSHAW contact her, pronto! Well, speak­ing o f the ol’ chap, Elliot has certainly come to a fork in the road and made an important decision. Before revealing th a t . . . he was (and still is) living in a Jewish, kosher, co-ed co-op with twenty UCLA students. During the summer he traveled west (excuse me, that is from my perspective) east to Yosemite and Zion and Bryce Canyons in Utah. The decision: in September he trans­ferred to the University o f Judaism in Los Angeles (a West Coast branch of the Jewish Theological Seminary o f NYC); Elliott is seriously considering a career as a rabbi. His course load includes: Hebrew, Jewish history, biblical criticism and Jewish philos­ophy. Besides studying, he is also working part-time as a Hebrew teacher several afternoons a week. Elliot would welcome any visitors who happen to be in the area. His address is 619 Landfair Avenue, L.A., CA 90024.Bates College rates high marks from SANDY LAMB. She is pleased with her decision to transfer there and has been taking advantage o f their programs. For example, during the

summer she took the Bates Marine Ecology Short Term course (six weeks) held at Friday Harbor Labs, San Juan Island, Washington. Coming and going to the West Coast was breathtaking, including catching the Canadian Rockies at sunset and the Colorado Rockies at dawn. For the re­mainder o f the summer she was in Beaufort, NC at the Duke University Marine Lab, where she was enrolled in Marine Inverta- brate Zoology. Goodness . . . ano ther busy summer. Senior year includes a thesis in neurophysiology, and next y ea r . . . . guess. February 7, 1979. Good evening and here is the news: TINA PRITCHARD graduated from Rollins College today. She spent the summer working in Princeton, and now that her academic career is over, she will be employed at Dean Witter Reynold’s new office in beautiful Stowe, Vermont. The future? Well, 1 am glad you asked. Tina hopes to be entering Dean Reynold’s train­ing program in California in a year’s time. Back to her old tricks o f breaking barriers, JANET RASSWEILER helped organize Sm ith’s first rugby team and even lived to play on it during the spring o f 1978. She kept her mind churning by enrolling at Princeton in intensive French for the summer. Then she was off to the Univer­sity o f Pennsylvania for the year. She is thoroughly enjoying herself, but plans to be gracing the Smith campus next fall. Janet writes that Philadelphia is more exciting than Northampton, especially with a basket­ball team worth cheering for. Could you tell that to Marget (she is enthralled by Northampton)? While on campus, she lias seen LUCY GORELLI and during Christmas vacation had dinner with ALEXANDRA SMITH, CHRIS CRAGG and HILARY WINTER. Remember the boat ride around NYC?Atlanta, Georgia certainly agrees with JEAN SCHREIBER (I seem to recall writing that about Ellen, too). She is enjoying Emory and keq^ing very busy, including making the Dean’s List and receiving an honorary psychology award as a junior. Last year Jean pledged Kappa Kappa G amma and is also a Sigma Nu little sister, which she informs me was PAUL GOLDMAN’s fraternity (he has since transferred to a school in the Pennsyl­vania area). Consequently , they spent quite a bit o f time together. Jean reports that Paul coached the Kappa basketball team and did a super job. During the summer he worked at his fa ther’s camp in Maine. Now backto J e a n she was employed by a stockbrokerage firm in Atlanta for the summer. The experience will be invaluable for her future, inasnuch as she plans to begin her training as a stockbroker after her gradua­tion and a trip abroad. Ahhh,' reflection of a Eurailpass and a backpack.TIDBITS: SUSI VAUGHAN is nearing the final stretch of her college career; she expects to graduate with a B.S. in mathe­matics from William Smith. California pro­vided a perfect setting for TOM TOTH last summer while he worked at U.C. Berkeley. His future plans might include teaching science abroad. During August 1978 AMY AHRENS moved her residence to Tucson, Arizona with her parents. She will graduate from the San Francisco Art Institute in May 1979. CHUCK SEGAL is finishing up at Wesleyan and expects to be working on the Cape, enjoying every minute o f it probably. Newark, NJ was the environ DAVIS SHERMAN found himself in last summer; his daily commute took him to a law firm where he assisted a blind student. Septem­ber brought Davis back to Harvard for a short while, but he has now taken time off to work with a lobbyist in the nation’s capital. PETER “ F R IT Z ” McCOUGHLIN is still at Hahvarhd. He seems to occupy his time writing for the Crimson and yelling

33

vociferously at hockey games, but that is all past for him now with his election as one o f the Class Marshalls for the Harvard/ Radcliffe Class o f 1979. Prom all indications, this position is very time- consuming.Well, I have finally reached the b o t to m of the barrel. As for yours truly, summer of 1978 included an im portant and interesting exposure to the business world as a s tudent intern in the offices o f Wm. Sword & Co. with CINTRA EGLIN and RHODA JAFFIN (’76) as co-workers and Mr. Phil VanDusen as my “ boss.” Spring break 1979 found me as a guest at the Wilmerding’s beautiful island home on Jose Van Dyke; the perfect reprieve from Harvard’s pressures. Lately my time has been consumed by Harvard’s m en’s ice hockey program (I was head manager, which in reality meant playing the role o f “ mother hen” to tw enty jocks), the inevitable academics and the seemingly endless job interviews. Suggestions have been made that I should seek a job as manager for a professional m en’s team. However, to date I have had quite enough of traveling, arranging trips, announcing at games and waiting patiently for the dressing room to be passable for a female. The season was a disaster; nevertheless, the experience was an ult imately invaluable one during my job search. Upon my graduation from the big “ H” I will work part-time in my m other’s business and then move on to the world of banking in dow ntown New York in August. Anyone else planning to be in the Big Apple? If so, would love to get together with you.T h a t ’s it, folks. Keep those cards and letters coming AND do not forget to send ideas in reference to our fifth reunion.1976Class Secretary

But before I let you in on the whereabouts and journeys o f your classmates, did you have a good spring break? I hope so, I did. I camped in the Florida Keys with some friends from Delaware. The Keys are beautiful and Key West is a wild little island.I also went to the Berkshire Mountains this year and visited KARIN MORGENSTERN. I had a wonderful time, seeing Karin was great. She has a new SAAB with a good tapedeck that we took o u t . . . cruising . . . in the snowy countryside around Great Barrington, MA. I t ’s great to see the place that an old friend calls home.So, if you are ever driving down rte. 95 and you see exit IN, turn on your directional signal and hang a right into Newark, Dela­ware; stop at the nearest phone booth and give me a call.

SANDRA BENSON loves living in Phila­delphia and life at Penn is great. She is the manager o f Penn’s men’s lacrosse team, and is also performing with a newly founded group in their first public production. She had a party at her apartment and had a chance to visit with some old PDSers - namely SARAH ROTHROCK, CLOOIE SHERMAN, PHIL BENSON and TAD VAN DUSEN.Sandra wants everybody to make a note of her new address. I t ’s 257 South 16th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19102.STEPHANIE COHEN reports that every­thing at Colgate is going well. She will be spending the summer in Great Britain on a travel-study program from school. And when the studying stops, she will travel around Europe for three weeks with some friends.JENNIFER CARPI is wrapping up another terrific year at Yale. She has been playing squash with the Yale team and Jennifer has started a T shirt company with some friends. She hopes to be in either Phila­delphia or Europe this summer. Jennifer has spoken to LISE THOMPSON, who is now in Norway, and to BETH JOHNSON, who stopped by New Haven during her travels. SUSAN PAINE had a good spring break in Bermuda with her friends from Hamilton. She is planning on taking good ol’ organic chemistry during the summer and then Susan will be off to London for next spring semester.DAVID MALI is still at Wesleyan and “ lov­ing it .” He spent the summer working in France and travelling through Europe. Play­ing soccer, going to frat parties and doing a lot o f school work has been keeping David busy, but also happy.ANN WALCOTT vacationed in For t Lauderdale with friends during her spring break from Davidson. She will be working in Maine this summer, teaching life saving and swimming. Ann, have a great summer in South Casco.CHRISTY BLACK has been working too hard in school, but there is a bright rainbow in the future; Christy and JULIA PENICK are planning a trip to Scandinavia this sum­mer. Why d o n ’t you send the class a post­card and let us know about your wild adventures?GEORGE ZOUKEE is enjoying his second year at Hampshire College in Amherst, MA.

Well, a full year has passed since “ senior prank day” and our graduation. This past year has brought some pretty exciting experiences to our classmates. Nothing as mundane as marriages or babies yet, al­though we do have quite a few world travelers among our ranks! I ’ve tried to in­clude news of as many o f us as possible, but I d idn ’t hear from everybody, so d o n ’t throw a fit if y ou’ve been left out : you probably missed the sign-up sheet in the senior sitting room. Actually, I ’ve heard from quite a few “ random ” p eo p le -k e ep those letters coming.One-time class and council president JAY ITZKOWITZ spent a portion of his retire­ment from politics studying Italian in Florence, Italy. Jay claims he “ w orked” in a discotheque. Being the European playboy that he is. Jay spied JAMIE PHARES ’80, dined with MOLLY MOYNAHAN ’75, toured the Italian Riviera with PHIL GLOUCHEVITCH ’77 and chatted with FRED WOODBRIDGE ’78.FRED WOODBRIDGE discovered PDS people wherever he went; Mr. Coburn in Paris, HANNAH FELTON, LOUISE SOUTHCOTT and MEG BAILEY in Lon­don. Fred traveled via train to ten countries and now faces a heavy engineering work load at Princeton.LOUISE SOUTHCOTT sent me an engaging letter describing her exploits at the Univer­sity o f London. She is characteristically

34

initiating a ladies cricket team, has been elected captain o f her field hockey team, dances “ until three or four in the morning” and has continued her affiliation with Americans by living in an International S tu den t’s house. If anyone is ever lost in London, Louise lives about a block away from Mme. Toussaud’s wax museum. Louise also saw MAGGIE GORDON, who was living in England this fall. Maggie spent Christmas in Ireland, and is now at Middle- bury where she played on the ice hockey and lacrosse teams with MICHELE PLANTE. Michele and I tried to think up something bizarre to include in this le tter about her, but our imaginations failed to find any­thing wilder than what one would normally imagine of Michele. She will be working for a photography lab this summer in Princeton. She played for a strong ice hockey team at Brown.DAVID BARONDESS is pursuing his inter­ests in the medical field by working with a pathologist in New Brunswick, and through his involvement on the board of the “ R u t­gers College S tudent Health Advisory C om m ittee.” Wow!TRIC1A METZGER is singing happily at Bucknell. Did anyone catch her perfor­mance at Lincoln Cente r on May 2? Tricia visited Brad at Ohio Wesleyan and said that he’s very happy. I bumped into both of them at the infamous QBM over Christmas break. I also spied KAREN BAICKER in line for the movie, “ Superman,” and KEITH BAICKER at a bowling alley! My, our class really goes in for intellectual pursuits. CATHERINE “ C a t” FERRANTE was praised in the Princeton Packet for “ work­ing wonders” on the Harvard soccer team this fall. Her efforts and skill won her all- Ivy honors. O f course that doesn’t surprise anyone who played with her at PDS. “ Bless­ed with dazzling speed and a knack for scoring goals,” Cat was described as the “ vital cog” in the Harvard offense, which led the Harvard team into the Ivy League Championship with a 13-1 record. Cat will send autographed 8x10 photos upon request. All sorts o f people braved the cold at the Dartmouth Winter Carnival this February: CHRIS BUNDY, BURR STONER, TOM GATES, DON GIPS, ZANNE VINE, CAT, LIZ SCHLUTER and ANN HUNTER, besides the hosts, ANDY SANFORD, ROB OLSSON. MEG BAILEY and myself. I even saw TOMMY MOORE ’76 playing soccer in a hallway over Carnival.JOHN D. WALLACE traveled to Florida with his singing group from Yale. John made it to Dartmouth for the Yale game, which turned into a mini-reunion with ALLISON 1JAMS. LYDIA THOMPSON, JENNY JOHNSON, KERRY FADEN, SUSIE BLAXILL, TOM GATES, ZANNE VINE and the Dartm outh crew.Another Yalie, CELIA MANNING and her co-editor JORDAN SAND should be com­mended for their award-winning job on Cymbals, which was judged the most o u t­standing literary magazine for secondary schools in New Jersey.GWENDOLYN SCOTT writes that “ Bean- town is great.” She is plugging away at those pre-med courses at Boston University. NANCY CHEN sent me a postcard of Brown’s library and assured me that she was having a great time. BETHLIN THOMPSON played ice hockey for Saint Lawrence and will be studying the flute this summer in earnest.TOMMY GATES just acquired a motorcycle, so d on ’t be surprised if WILL KAIN and he arrive at your dorm room some day. Will and T om have been together for a few “ outrageous weekends.” Tom sends word that Lydia T hom pson’s roommate and she are a perfectly wild pair, and something

about Will eating tree frogs and delicious goldfish?????WILL KAIN sends me absolutely off-the-wall letters. I saw him for an unexpected flash at U. Penn where I was playing lacrosse and he was with Miss Harriette Brainard, watching. BETSY MURDOCH has decided to really put her all into art and is hoping to transfer to a school which is stronger in the fine arts for next year. Betsy will be running her famous kiddie day camp again this summer at home.JE F F PATTERSON has continued his ac t­ing and singing at Duke, where he was in “C om pany” and “ Pippin.” I haven’t heard from the other Duke people, but TIM JOHNSTON looked appropriately “ funked o u t” at Kerry’s big bash over Christmas break.Quite a few classmates have succumbed to the fraternity scene at college. R um or has it that JE FF PATTERSON had to dress like a “ preppie” to a few parties as part o f his pledging duties. I heard that CHRIS BUNDY and CHIP BRISTOL joined the same frater­nity at Hamilton, and wouldn’t you know that ROB OLSSON and ANDY SANFORD both sank the same house at Dartmouth .A few of us are enjoying a very independent lifestyle. JON FABIAN is living in Waterville. Maine (Box 1247, zip 04901). and last I heard, he was still looking for a satisfactory occupation. MISHKA RIZZO is living in Pittsfield, Vermont, where she has learned to drive a two-horse team, and is enjoying a recently acquired quarte r horse. Next fall Mishka plans to at tend Norwich University in Northfield . VT.STEVE ROWLAND sent me a postcard of the smog in Claremont, CA which was quite touching. Steve traveled around California during his spring break.SHEILA MEHTA worked for a laborer in Princeton this summer, so if anyone is building a house, Sheila’s the one to contact.There it is, folks: an inadequate account and incomplete profile o f the adventures of the class o f ’78. S o . . . send news, KEEP IN TOUCH, YOU TURKEYS. Hope to see all o f you in the near future. Please write: my address has changed, so take note if it mat­ters: 95 Russell Road, P ’ton/H inman Box 545, Hanover, NH 03755.
