Mrs. Mary Anne DeCamillis Braun, '58, was ap­ pointed secretary in the Student Counseling Office in November, replacing Mrs. Thyrrice Marx, who had been on sick leave for nearly a year as a result of a knee injury sus­ tained on campus. Mrs. Janice Easterday succeeded Mrs. Elizabeth Parsons in the Office of College Relations in Sep­ tember. Mrs. Patricia A. Sager resigned her position as sec­ retary in the Admissions Office the end of December and was replaced by Mrs. Margaret Beadle, who stayed only until june. A luncheon was given to honor Lillie Stevens and Edward Hess upon their retirement. Mrs. Stevens came to the Col­ lege in 1942 and has served faithfully and well as a maid for Miss Strange (left), Richard Ford, and Charlotte Fletcher at Miss Strange's 75th 34 years.

The Alumni

Alumni are playing a more active role in recruiting and interviewing prospective students for the College and in coun­ seling with juniors and seniors about graduate school and careers. Alumni seminars were held again this year-in Balti­ more, New York, Boston, Chicago, and Washington. Alumni summer seminars in Annapolis were cancelled for lack of par­ ticipants, but over forty alumni and spouses from both cam­ puses and from the Graduate Institute participated in seminars on the Santa Fe campus during the first two weeks of August. Again, the tutors contributed their talents and their time as co-leaders. Another year, I believe there should be a modest tuition charge to alumni so that tutors may be compensated in monetary terms for their efforts.
