hope she will continue to be near enough to
come regularly. We arc also enjoying so very
much knowing Edith Adams McFerren ( •

a permanent resident of Oklahoma City. Her
husband is a pilot f o r United A i r Lines.
Many of our members have enjoyed attend-

sponsored by several city clubs, the Junior
League, and city alumna? chapters. Pauline

her voting daughter, Caroline Pauline, attends.
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Rider (Ruth Roland. '29)
announce the birth of a son, born in Febru-
ary. We regret very much to learn of the
death of Lloyd Drury, husband of Dorothy
Mouser Drury, Blair, Oklahoma. We extend
our sympathy to Mary Louise Fox Squyres
in the loss of her mother recently and to Zalia
Holman in the death of her grandmother.
