Western ... e-Round the World
Volume IV, No. 1
July 2004
Reunion Recap
It's a wrap! "30" was proven
to be something indeed. Browse our Reunion
album for a pictorial review of moments silly and serious, rowdy and
reflective, trendy and traditional. Membership in the new Trustees Emeritae
Society was conferred on all returning trustees, and the 50th reunion class of
1954 was inducted into the Meily Society.
Response to the 2004
Reunion Gift (Trustees Scholarship) has been as spectacular as the reunion
itself ... it's not too late to join your classmates and make a gift!
Christmas in July
What's new in the Gift
Shop? Mik Stousland's original designs in sterling silver jewelry, for one
thing. And of course there are also items old (tree ornaments have long been
favorite gifts), borrowed (Phyllis Hoyt owns the copyright to her memoir, Where
the Peonies Bloomed, but permits us to sell the books for her), and Western
blue (not exactly, but close - our polo shirts and lounge pants are available in
navy blue).
