By A N N ANDERSON SALE
Although many of the alumnae of
Kappa chapter receive the Alumtue Bul-
letin of Randolph-Macon, I am going
to include in these notes a few items
from the last issue that they might have
missed.
The first is about Virginia Allen ('16),
and is as follows: " A n interesting let-
ter (dated September 20, 1931), f r o m
Virginia Allen tells of her work as a
missionary in Bibanga, Congo Beige,
Africa. From this letter we quote the
following paragraph concerning the B i -
banga School.
" 'Next week at commencement we
are to graduate for the first time a class
of pupils. This year's class w i l l lie com-
posed of teachers who have been learn-
ing as well as teaching for the past
three to five years. They and I have
been hard at i t this term to complete in
off hours a second course in geography,
Outline Study of the Historical Back-
ground of the Old and New Testaments,
the Metric System, an Introductory
Course in Note Music, and a stiff course
jr» French grammar and verbs. They
love to study and are as eager to make
good grades as boys are at home. I
shall be very happy to present eight of
these boys w i t h Teacher Certificates be-
fore I leave.'"
Virginia's fur.'jugh was due to begin
kst October, but due to the financial
crisis the Executive Committee of the
Southern Presbyterian Mission Board
(>5
work later at the University of New
in 1930. A t the time of her death she
was teaching at Capitan, New Mexico.
The memory of her gay charm, un-
swerving loyalty, and quiet courage will
always be kept among the finest tra-
ditions of Omicron chapter.
Our deep sympathy is extended to
Mary Taylor Johnson Andrews ('24),
and M r . Andrews in the death of their
infant son, Earle, Jr., on January 20,
at their home in Babylon, Long Island.
We also extend our sympathy to
Laura Swift Mayo Jernagin ('11), in
the recent death of her mother, Mrs.
D. R. Mayo, and to Elizabeth Wallace
('29), in the death of her father, M r .
B. Y . Wallace, Sr.
requested all missionaries whose f u r -
loughs were due between November 1,
1931, and December 3 1 , 1932, to re-
main in their respective fields for an-
other year. Although this did not apply
to Virginia technically, she decided to
wait another year before coming home.
Those of us who live near Lynchburg
will look forward to seeing her in July,
1932.
Virginia's change in plans was a great
disappointment to her family, especially
to Frances (Ex. '13), who had gone to
England to meet her. We hope that
Frances w i l l enjoy her trip abroad, how-
ever, in spite of not seeing her sister.
