a fine mother Katherine makes! On the re-
turn trip we stopped in Ridgway, Pennsyl-
vania, to visit Helen Howalt Lowe ('25) who,
with her two children, were visiting her
mother. Mrs. Howalt still speaks of Chi girls
with warm regard. She always enjoyed her
visits so much at '603'." I can't envy "Robby"
her visit at the Fair because I , too, enjoyed
that trip, but I do wish more of us could
have been along on the stop-overs. The inde-
fatigable Thelma is still busy as ever. She
is again State Chairman for New Jersey. Be-
sides this sorority work and her home duties,
she directs plays and entertainments for local
organizations. Just now she is working on a
production of "Daddy Long Legs."
Marjorie Townsend Bartlett ('23) returned
to her position in Winthrop Junior High again
this year. She says that she has been so
completely domestic this summer and so cen-
tered in her young son's fascinating develop-
ment that AOII contacts have been sadly
neglected. "Marge" says her little "Bob" is
no longer a baby but a "reg'lar feller." Alice
Coulter ( E x . '24) is Assistant Advertising
Manager of the Norwich Pharmacal Company
in Norwich, New York. Alice annually makes
a trip to California by air. On her most recent Roszell Britten ('25) is living at 14 Wetmore
flight the plane was compelled to make a
forced landing in an Iowa corn field. During
the early spring the Advertising Manager was
ill so Alice was "swinging" both jobs.
Mildred Riese Haight C23) is happily set-
tled in the Algonquin Methodist Episcopal
Church parsonage at Stanley, New York. She
recently saw "Bee" Barron Hovey ('23) in
Canandaguia. Beatrice's little girl looks so
much like her mother, including the tightest
curly hair.
Emily Tarbell, in spite of her other activi- taking a real part in the lives of the members
ties, collected much news from her section of
the globe. Camilla Jennison ('12) visited Ger-
trude Rosenberg Perry (Alathea '11) in Syra-
cuse during the summer. Camilla is living with
her brother in New York and is doing volun-
teer kindergarten work in a Chinese school.
Early this summer she, Ruth Dibben, and
Elizabeth French Kelly had a reunion at
"Frenchic's" Long Island home. Shortly after
this get-to-gether Ruth Dibben left for Nor-
way for the remainder of the vacation. You
will all recall that "Drom" (Camilla) is the
author of our "Red Rose, Good Night" song.
The husband of Gertrude Baumhart Bailey
(Ex. '26) was bady cut by the propellor of a
motor boat when he was swimming at Sel-
kirk this summer. In spite of his injuries he
has nicely recovered. Emily was a delegate
at the National Education Association Con-
vention in Chicago. She met Ruth ('23) and
Helen ('26) McNees at Kay Clements'. She
says that they all had a jolly reunion. Emily
and the McNees' have a happy faculty of un-
expectedly running into one another. The
last time they met on the campus of the Uni-
versity of Washington in Seattle. Betty Frank
('33) has been an assistant in the Department
of Parks in Syracuse this summer. Alice
Foote Gwynn ('27) has moved to 618 West-
To DRAGMA
cott Street where Dr. Gwynn will have an
office as well as one in the Medical Arts Build-
ing.
Helen Neubauer ('30) is a free lance fash-
ion illustrator, having accounts with the New
York Evening Post, Style Ne;vs, Knicker-
bocker Life, and Jay Thorpe. K a t h e r i n e
Becker ('30) has an excellent position as a
buyer for Namm's Department Store in
Brooklyn. She has an apartment in Green-
wich Village. Helen Mason ('30) is going to
enter Columbia this fall to take courses in
creative writing. Marjorie Pease ('28) and
Helen Gillis ('30) spent part of the summer
in New York. While in New York Mildred
C a r m e n ('30) and Dick, "Marge" and
"Burkie" and Helen and Charles all had a
get-to-gether. Helen writes that each of them
have a diamond and a yen for the worst of
the depression to lift.
Marian Moody ('28) is at home now. She
hopes to enter the University of Vermont this
fall and plans to begin the study of medicine.
Little did we think some six or seven years
ago that our "Muddy" would desert the field
of fine arts for that of medical arts. Helen
Place, Middletown, Connecticut. Dr. Britten,
Helen and little Joan called on Mary Sutliff
on their way home from the Roszell summer
camp at Silver Lake Assembly. Faith Trull
('25) and Hazel Olin ('26) also stopped to
see Manr. Hazel is teaching in Port Jervis,
New York, and lives at 2 Elizabeth Street.
Faith is teaching in her home town, Palmyra,
New York, this year. Both of the girls have
their Master's degrees from Columbia. They
also visited Chicago this summer.
Chicago and Master's degrees seem to be
of our alumna; chapter roll. Besides taking a
delightful mid-western trip with her mother
and sister, Helen McNees ('26) received her
Master's degree from the University of Pitts-
burgh in August. The Ambridge schools are
using the twelve months school plan. "Petie's"
vacation begins in October and lasts until Jan-
uary. There is a slight hope that she may
come to Syracuse for a football game and
spend some time in this section. Mary Adams
('19) attended summer school at the Uni-
versity of Buffalo. She also found time to
visit the Century of Progress. Mary aptly ex-
pressed my feelings when she said "her only
regret in Chicago was that she wasn't a centi-
pede constructed so as to use only one pair
of legs at once." She is beginning her-ninth
year of teaching in Hornell, New York, and
says, " I have had literally dozens of older
brothers and sisters of my present charges
in classes as some previous time. I'll not be
in the least surprised to see some precocious
offspring of my former pupils enter my class
any time now." Last Easter Mary took a
delightful trip to Atlanta, Georgia. Edith
(Sweed) Adams McDonald is living on a
farm near Cambridge, New York. She has
two children, Jean, who is in the fourth grade,
and Bobby not yet of school age. In closing
