Dear Fellow Alumnus:
I would like to take a few minutes today to discuss some of the things that the Alumni Association has done this year, as well as what we plan to do in the future.
We started last year's administration with a new alumni director, and, I might add, an alumni president who wasn't too familiar with alumni work. However, I am happy to state that the transition has been a smooth one.
We have had additional board meetings this year which we used as "brainstorming sessions." Through these extra meetings we have encouraged a master plan of development for our Alumni Association.
It gives me a great deal of pleasure to note that alumni giving is well ahead of last year and we have had increased community exposure largely through the efforts of Dr. Bob Thompson and the 1195 Club.
We have enjoyed receiving your many compliments on the contents and attractive covers of The Rock and we can look forward to a stimulating series entitled "Whittier College Contributes" next year.
Our future plans include an orientation retreat by the board of directors and officers of the Association. We plan to become better acquainted with our responsibilities as alumni and formulate future plans.
The Association can look forward to a most successful year under the leadership of John Kegler '38 judging from his enthusiasm past and pre sent.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the board members, commission chairmen and officers for their invaluable help in making this year productive and enjoyable.
Sincerely yours,

The ten college girls spent a week in New York in May at the expense of the magazine. The week included a round of parties and dinners with celeb- rities, and photography sessions. The contest, sponsored locally by the campus newspaper, was headed by Sandy Davidson, so- ciety editor. Miss Stowell was chosen by women's organizations on campus. Miss Stowell, who is 5' 9", took her high school at Punahou in Honolulu, and at Bethesda-Chevy Chase. In 1965 she was a Whittier Rose Float prin- cess as well as a Whittier College homecoming princess. She plans to go into educational counsel- ing or advertising after she graduates from Whit- tier College next February. Her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. John H. Stowell, reside at 7205 Fair- fax Road, Bethesda, Maryland, and her father is a research scientist in Asian affairs at American Uni- versity.
