ALUMNAE TEA IN MINNEAPOLIS
A very nice tea for alumnae was held at the home of Mrs. Frank Bowman (Vera Meneilley, '13) of Minneapolis on the afternoon of Sunday, May 19. Mrs. Bowman, very busy at the time, depended on Mrs. Porter P. Wiggins (Doris Leach, '13) who graduated with her from Shimer, to make the arrangements for the tea. Mrs. William Ramsey (Janet McCormick, '42) assisted Mrs. Wiggins.
That everyone present enjoyed the tea is evidenced by the fact that guests were still leaving in the early evening. Since there was such a plentiful table of supplies remaining that another tea might be held, part of the group decided to remain and repeat the process of the tea in order to prolong the pleasure of the visit afforded by it. Dr. Bro was very pleased to have the opportunity of having such a long and pleasant visit with the alumnae and parents who were present. He hoped that there would be an opportunity to come to Minneapolis next year to meet with the alumnae and parents again since this was the first occasion in about ten years at which one of the administrative officers of the College had been present.
In addition to those mentioned, the following were present: Jo Horne, Dorothy Jolly, Beverly Quade, Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Randles, Mrs. Earle Shaw, Mrs. Palmer Refsdal, Colonel Wiggins, Mr. and Mrs. Gold and daughter Barbara, Mrs. Geo. F. La Pointe, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Woodruff, Mrs. George Van Aucken, Misses Gertrude, Jane and Mary Olson, Mrs. Guy H. Ramsey, Mrs. M. McCormick, Mr. Bradley Bowman.
