would have been there all her family near. She was a grand wife and mother and loyal friend. I will miss her letters. She has written faithfully all these years. She has an eighty-nine year old mother living who has made her home with Isabelle and now is with her duaghter, Florence, in Los Angeles. Dexter will visit us here next month, then he my husband an I will go east to visit my daughter, Harriett, who has a country place near Pembridge in New York, Westchester County. I am very, well, keep so busy all the time what happened to our Round Robin that you and Sarah started again? I do enjoy the Alumnae Records, but it so long since I was at school there are not many names familiar. I hear from Grace Squires, Marian Hallet Jones and Ruth Dects Miller once a year at Christmas. My Husband retired from business three years ago so we have time for much pleasure."

'16 Ruth Hildebrandt Fender has promised to write about the Round Robin Letter of the class of 1916. She promises to send data about all children and all war records and let Alumnae News do the cutting. Ruth's husband is at Great Lakes as judge of the summary court-martial board. Her son is still on Saipan.

'21 Pricisilla Fletcher Jenkins has written, a newsy letter form Milnthrope, Westmorland, England. She writes that she and her family have enjoyed receiving the Alumnae News. Her three children seem to take particular pride in knowing that their mother once attended a girls' boarding school. Priscilla feels that this is an English attitude that she as a good American, ought not to encourage. We can't resist quoting a bit from her letter: "The Jenkins boys are fourteen and they love Latin. It is rather amusing to hear them inquire for help from me when I haven't seen the inside of a Latin Grammer for twenty years. As there are a few Roman remains in England, it make the Latin seem more real, and there are times when we think the Romans were using good judgment to leave this island."

'22 Charlotte Hagerman who served as an officer in the Waves during the war, spoke recently at the annual luncheon of the Chicago Area Alumnae Association of Southern Seminary Buena Vista, Virgina.

Ruthe's husband is the author of some thirty published books for boys, two of which have been the choices of the Junior Liteary Guild. He is publisher of Reno Newspapers, Inc., and the Western Horseman a monthly magazine for horse lovers. Ruthe's daughter, Betsy Wheeler Dean, is just 16 and Ruthie hopes that she can have the Shiner Experience which was her own privlege to enjoy. Her address is Mrs. Graham M.
