the 510 T o DRAGMA prize she had won
for the best article written in two
years, but so far, she has not had time!
The Folk School project has assumed
such proportions that the government is
thinking of taking it over. Delie Ban-
croft toured Europe last summer, and
had tea w i t h Dagmar Renshaw LeBre-
ton ('12), and her son Edmond, who
were spending the summer in England
and France. Dagmar, on her way home,
stopped in Philadelphia to spend the aft-
ernoon with Georgia Belle Gillean Du-
voisin and M r . Duvoisin at Clifton
Heights. Margaret Foules Barton and
her geologist husband have about cov-
ered the earth scouting for oil. Seven-
year-old A n n Foules Barton is some-
times taken along, sometimes parked.
When Margaret is home i n her charming
house i n Houston, she is busy w i t h
civic and club work. From Orangeburg,
South Carolina, comes news of Angie
McLees McMichael ('14), w h o says
that she has an uneventful but happy
life taking care of her husband and little
daughter, and keeping up her music.
Willie White ('14), tells of some time
spent in N o r t h Hartey, Canada, at
"Teddy" Sumner Powell's summer home
on Lake Massiwippi. Mary Sumner, you
know, is a Ph.D. and the psychiatrist at
Vale.

and her family, are also living in Wash-

hear that Genevra Washburn ('24), has
"a wonderful job in New York, giving

Anna McLellan Kastler ('19), says
that during a recent trip which she and
Arthur took in their Ford, they stopped
in Knoxville and saw and chatted with
Fay Morgan ('20). Dorothy Dalton
('28), and M a r y Emma Williams ('30),

are both teaching school this winter.
Other teachers are Janie Price C31),
Jane Williams ('31), Irene Clark ('28),
Ruth Kastler ('20), Odette Chalaron
('26), and Elizabeth Lyon ('27). Char-
lotte Voss Kearny ('26), has not let a
new husband and home interfere with
her teaching, but is keeping up with
both quite competently. Clara Mae Bu-
chanan ('31), who is taking graduate
courses this winter, tells of a lovely visit
she paid to Nellie M a b r y (Ex. '30), in
Clarksville, Tennessee. Nellie is also
numbered in the teaching ranks. Kath-

ment of the Alabama Power Company.
She served on the board of the Panhel-
lenic House in New York f o r several
years in the early stages of the project,
and was its first paid worker, organizing
its office. The completeness of the News
Letter, f r o m which much of these notes
have been gleaned, is due to Rochelle s
suggested plan.
M a r y Pearce Bradburn ('10). is »n
Florida, while her house in New Orleans
is being remodeled. She drove f r ° ' n
there to Athens, Georgia, for the Tu-

Deaths
We were very shocked and grieved at
the sudden death of one of our young-
