given us many useful articles of furniture. We hope that all our sisters
who come to New York will now visit us. Perhaps some of the girls
living in the suburbs will find our "Nook" comfortable to rest in after
shopping or while waiting for a later appointment. Our telephone number
is Spring 1539.

Now to get back to terra-firma and relate other happenings since our
last letter. Peg Meyer has an adorable bouncing boy. Evelyn Helland
surprised us all with the announcement that she was marrying Louis Sprigg,
of the faculty, on June 11th. Alice Knecht and Julia Tillinghast went to
convention and returned with a great deal of interesting news. Julia took
an extended trip to the Pacific coast before coming home. Our Senior
Luncheon was held at the Hotel Astor on June 13, at which time tiny
tokens of love were tendered our charming graduates, Alice Knecht, who
is teaching in Suffren, New York; Gertrude Bennett, now working for
her Masters at Columbia University; Gertrude Hook who is still about
town; Bee Purdy who has gone to teach in the schools of Camden, N. J . ;
and Sallie Burger, who with her Masters Degree has left us to teach in the
Settlement School at Pine Mt., Kentucky. Another event at the luncheon
was the announcement of Edna Hawes engagement to Al Ehlers. Three of
our alums have returned to college as members of the faculty, Peg Prochet
and Marg Brown in the History Department and Frances Froatz in the
Physical Education Department. Just before summer school started Mrs.
"Dean" Lough gave "Nu" girls a very delightful party at her home in
Pelham Manor. The N. Y. U. Summer School had two of our representa-
tives, Anna Hughes and Helen Schelnin while Dot Scully studied at Rutgers.
Last but far from least is the wonderful record which Ethel McGary made
in the National Swimming Association's and other contests. She is now
National Champion of many events in the aquatic sport. Proud, well you
should watch us exhibit Ethel's picture which appears regularly in the Sun-
day supplements.
