Seventy-three women, a few of the thousands who lived in Edens Hall from 1921 to 1970, returned August 26 to spend one night in the newly renovated residence. They were joined by six men, once barred from all but the main-floor lounge and, on special occasions, the fourth-floor Blue Room. Representing the earliest graduating class was Louise Stiger Edmondson of Seattle (’28). She and husband Dean (’29) courted at Edens, but, as young teachers during the Depression, married others. Both widowed, they married three years ago, 63 years after breaking their engagement. Arthur Gravrock of Bellevue (’31), who worked as a member of the Edens Kitchen Crew attended the slumber party to honor Tiis late wife of 40 years, Margaret, whom he met at Edens. Reunion sparkplug Bev Champers ('65) Roommates separated 32 years “picked up right where we left off’ while sitting beneath the lighted columns of Edens, -Photos by Jon Brunk listening to the singalong From the “Woodstock Generation” (l-r) Lisa Marahrens, inside. Friends from the Martha Steinbom and Vicki Hanauer ’40s, who’ve been meeting regularly, reconvened, this time at home.” John and Margaret Shulene from the ’50s remembered a campus of 1,300 students and “rules for women, no rules for men.” Alumnae from the “Woodstock Generation” pored over photographs of protests and now-outlandish costumes. Meredith Jarvis (’92), gently complained that her reunion roommate’s conversation kept her up too late. Roommate/mother Carol Ann Becken (’63), daughter of 1927 and 1934 graduates, was unashamed. Alumnae signed an oversized card from the “Thrifty Thirties,” the “Fabulous Forties,” the “Fortu nate Fifties, the Sensational Sixties.” There were greetings from women who came before, and after. They wished the 155 students who will be the first to live in Edens South in 24 years what they shared in their years at Edens, and on the night of August 26: “treasured memories and lasting friendships.” In the winter issue, we will share more Edens reunion photographs and stories. We invite those who attended the sleepover to send photographs, and reunion recollections, to Alumni House, Mail Stop 9199, Western Washington University, Bellingham, WA 98225-9199. Dale ('39 and '40) and Coral Courtney ('40, '49, '51) and most of all learning “Celebrating Learning at Western” was the theme September 19 when Karen Williams Morse was installed as 12th President. Gov. Mike Lowry opened the day with an 8:30 a.m. speech. There were faculty presentations throughout the day, and a dinner speech by Immunex Corporation founder Stephen A. Duzan. Morse summa rized Western’s past and her vision of its future: “The accomplishments of Western are both intellectual and spiritual. The challenges overcome are simultaneously private and public, personal and collective...Western has become an institution of distinction, a legacy we all inherit. “...Western’s people have responded with courage, grace and vision to challenges in the past...Together (students, alumni, faculty, staff, community) we will create a Western Washington University which, through its actions and efforts, continually celebrates learning.” Arthur Gravrock ('31) Karen Williams Morse resume / Fall 1994 ’70 - Richard E.

In addition, the Alumni Association has also provided: —more than $15,000 to Wilson Library; —more than $200,000 to support alumni events such as reunions or gatherings of alumni by major or geographic area; —and more than $40,000 to support Homecoming during the last four years. Each of these activities, and many others, are the life’s blood of any alumni association and each is made possible by the active participation, interest and dedication of the 5,000-plus alumni who join the WWU Alumni Club each year. A portion of your yearly dues goes to support each of those efforts. Your contributions to the Alumni Scholarship Fund as well as a portion of each Alumni Club Member’s dues provide the scholarship support. ___Although we charge-a-nominal fee for many of oiir alumni events and othex...^ programming, that fee only partially offsets the actual cost of those activities. The remaining costs are underwritten by the Alumni Association budget. Our Alumni Board of Directors recently held their annual summer planning retreat and have come up with some very creative programming concepts which we will be working to put in place in the coming year. One component of that plan, is to expand our regional efforts on behalf of alumni and parents of current students. We got a jump start on that effort in June and July as we hosted gatherings of alumni and parents in Wenatchee, Spokane, the Tri-Cities, Centralia, Longview/Kelso, Portlandsancouver, Aberdeen, Bremerton and Port Angeles. The dedication and interest at these events was obvious and quite inspiring. A number of individuals at each location stepped forward and offered to assist in organizing and maintaining each region’s efforts. We will be working more Western's first Homecoming Queen in 1938 was Betty Shay (Schaefer) shown with Princess and more in the coming months with each of those groups around the state and Catherine Christy (Boroughs) left, and the late Helen Masters (Bean) right.

In the meantime, we in the Alumni Relations Office and the members of our Alumni Board of Directors would like to offer our heartfelt thanks to each of you for the continued support which has made our scholarship and alumni Homecoming royalty in 1938 programming possible over the past years and decades.
