her husband and daughter have taken
a house at 3325 South Street. We are
sorry though to have lost Faye Curry
Stannard ('21), who moved to Wichita,
Kansas, last fall.
Beryl McClure ('28), who teaches in
Streator, Illinois, spent the Thanksgiving
holidays i n Lincoln as the guest of
Bonnie Drake and the Christmas vaca-
tion with her family at Wayne. Marie
Bowden ('28), of Santa Barbara, Cali-
fornia, was a holiday visitor in Lincoln
where she was the house guest of Pauline
Ryman. Several girls who are teaching
elsewhere spent Christmas w i t h their
families here. Among these were Wina-
fred Steele (Ex. '26), Malvern, I o w a ;
Dorothy Gannon ('26), and Laverne
Wright ('26), Denver; Mildred Wright
('30), Sutton; Ruth Hitchcock (Ex. '30),
Scottsbluff; and Eloise Keefer ('28),
who is working toward her doctor's de-
gree at the University of Wisconsin.
Margaret McNerney (Ex. '23), was
forced to begin her vacation early be-
cause of illness. However, she was able
to return to Springfield, Illinois, the
first of the year. Darlene Woodward
Jones ('25), and Dorothy Woodward
Barnard ('23), and their families of
Evanston, Illinois, and Mesick, Michi-
gan, respectively, visited their parents
during the holidays. Darlene, who has
returned to Evanston, has been very i l l
for more than a year, but she is con-
valescing rapidly now. Dorothy and her
' family expect to be in Lincoln for sev-
eral months. Helen Piper Hagenbuch of
Roanoke, Virginia, spent December here
with her parents and her sisters, Elsie
Ford and Jennie Lou. Mrs. Piper, their
mother, has been quite i l l following a
'all a few weeks ago so Helen is ex-
pected to come again this week to be
with her mother during the latter's con-
valescence. Mildred Sweet Gunnerson
('27), Sargent, Nebraska, and her hus-
band have been living in Tucson, A r i -
zona, the past year f o r the benefit of
Mildred's health.
The Lincoln alumnae were shocked by
[he sudden death of Cullen Hubbard,
husband of Dorothy H o y (Ex. '28),
which occurred in Denver in December.
Dorothy and her small son and daugh-
ter are now in Lincoln w i t h her parents
while she finishes her university w o r k
' ° r a degree. We also extend our sin-
C e f e sympathy to the Simanek family
whose father died in November, to W i l -
07
ma Foster Gustafson who lost her
mother in January, and to Grace Gan-
non Grady and Dorothy Gannon whose
father passed away in February.
M a r y Herzing Parmalee ('22), has
moved from Carney's Point to Salem,
New Jersey, where her address is 104
Seventh Street. Many of the Lincoln
girls attended a benefit bridge on Feb-
ruary 9, at the chapter house, given
by the Mothers' Club. This group has
always been very helpful to the chapter,
and they have given many lovely gifts
to the house. The proceeds f r o m this
benefit went into the house f u n d .

In June, Laura Perkins (Ex. '29), be-
came the bride of Charles Dokken and,
to our misfortune and Minnesota's good
luck, Laura moved to Minneapolis,
Minnesota. On September 5, Zeta Tate
Allingham (Ex. '29), became the bride
of Francis Edward Baird, and on Oc-
tober 24, Marjorie Nelson (Ex. '30),
became the bride of Bruce Austin. Fol-
lowing right in their footsteps and not
giving us time to breathe between wed-
dings came announcements of the en-
gagements and approaching marriages of
Alice Sheehy, Luree Combs, and Leola
Jensen.
Bethyne DeVore ('30), was married
to N . Keith Demmon ( A S * ) , at Norfolk
on October 24. They are living at N i -
