Miss Ruutz-Rees is famed for the definiteness of her notions. She frowns on pearls because they are "not real jewels." At one time the school rebelled, vainly, at a particular kind of black hose which she prescribed for evening wear. She likes young men so long as they behave. Boys may call at Rosemary for Sunday supper provided they stay for chapel and hymns afterward. Miss Ruutz-Rees is solidly Anglican but Rosemary has traditionally admitted three Jewesses a year, among them Gladys Guggenheim (Mrs. Roger Straus).
Upon retirement Miss Ruutz-Rees will stay in Greenwich with her adopted son Roland, 27, an enthusiastic amateur flyer, near her adopted daughter Elizabeth, now Mrs. Jacobus A. J. Van der Bunt, who graduated from Rosemary in 1930. Rosemary girls expect to see Miss Ruutz-Rees in town frequently, her lame black French poodle Moliere limping at her side.
