LOL. It involved keeping your knees together (and assumed you were wearing a shortish skirt) as you pivoted on your butt.

Karen, I used to think that these prospective student parties were universal but I’ve come to understand that their existence and quality varies widely. I remember talking to one Smith alumni rep in Arizona who said something like, “Those sound like a good idea.”

I suspect that if there aren’t any in your area that the Smith Alumni office can probably provide you with a file to produce mailing labels for known alumnae within a defined geographical area and that you could start your own. But I’d probably ask first who the local Smith Alumni rep is and see what they have or haven’t tried.

Our local coordinator, Vivian Forbes, Smith '50, is a dynamo and I hope I have half the energy she does when I’m her age. Actually, Vivian is now handing over the reins to a younger alum, but she’ll still be actively involved and the existing club infrastructure is strong, with even a 2005(?) grad moving into one of the leadership positions.
