Cute Squirrels and Sylvia Plath

Hello Class of '99
A few things of note this week. I didn't intend to save them all up, but it has been a crazy work week.

A few weeks back we were in Northampton for the day and stopped by the Alumnae House to check out the class locker. We are currently sharing the locker with the class of 1938. The photo is of the cute little squirrel/fish that graces our locker. Sadly, the only real thing we have in our locker is the orientation photo from first year. The class of 1938 on the other hand had some amazing scrapbooks, photo albums and banners. So I issue a call to arms. Is there anyone out there interested in being a class historian? If so, EMAIL me and lets talk!


A sonnet that Sylvia Plath wrote while at Smith College, inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Great Gatsby," has been discovered and is appearing the online literary journal, Blackbird. It was not discovered at Smith, but I think it is pretty amazing that they found previsiously unknown work. If you are ever back in Northampton and have never seen the Smith rare book room's Plath collection I would high reccommend a visit.
