“My two years at Walnut Hill changed my life. The teachers I had were excellent, especially Miss Wheeler and Miss Carpenter. My best friends then, Alice Burr Mobley and Martha Flynn Cunningham, are my dear friends today. I am grateful to Miss Gruber for pointing me toward Connecticut College. I loved Walnut Hill in 1963 and am proud of Walnut Hill today.”
- Marcia Hunter Matthews ’63
