1947
The latest report from Treasurer HankSpiers in Hanover is that the class records show a favorable balance of over $500, which, aided by expected dues which have yet to be paid, will have to carry our class organization through the next four years until our first Hanover reunion in 1951. This budget, passed last year, should be ample for our normal needs, but it must receive our complete support. These dues, only two small dollars, are the only class funds to be canvassed during these next four years; we are counting on them, so please send them along to Hank at the above address.
Dan Broida, studying for his Ph.D. in the field of clinical psychology at the University of Syracuse since this past fall, happily reports that some research work he engaged in while serving a psychological internship at the New Hampshire State Hospital, has been accepted for publication and will appear in a forthcoming issue of the Journal of Consulting Psychology. Dan performed this work in collaboration with Dr. Rabin, Chief Psychologist at the Hospital.

Wallace Bradway writes from Pelham Manor, N. Y., that he has passage reserved on the Vulcania sailing for Naples on February 13. Wallace majored in Art and was an actor in summer repertory after graduation, but is now with the Crestwood National Bank in Tuckahoe, N. Y., in charge of mortgages and loans. Since he had decided that banking was not for him, he turned down an offer for the position of chief executive officer of the bank in favor of his planned trip to Europe. As fellow passengers, Wallace will have FredFrassinelli and Peter Batchelder '48. While Fred plans to return to this country the first of June, Wallace will stay on indefinitely, spending most of the time in France, Italy, and Switzerland.
Leon Fiske, after his graduation from Dartmouth in September '46, moved down to the Yale Forestry School, but only last June, he decided in favor of a year's rest from school to get some practical experience. Leon plans to return to Yale this coming June for the completion of his course, and then plans to get experience in all branches of forestry work before making a decision on teaching in his chosen field of work. He reports that the local Greenfield, Mass., newspaper recently carried the picture of two classmates, "Bill" Marshall and John Gustafson, with their snow hut.
Chuck Creedon is "working for Worthing ton Pump Corporation, in Harrison,N. J., and strange as it may seem, Steve Kenney is spending his forty a week there too. He has a position in the accounting department, and I'm in sales, so we don't see each other very often. Bob Hiller lives in Paterson, so we meet in the 'Y', or when someone throws a party Jerry Kirchner has a job with Standard Oil, which must keep him quite busy." Chuck is wondering about several of his classmates who owe him a letter—Kincaid (Joe) for example.

With the exception of Bruce Cunliffe at a recent Montreal Dartmouth Club meeting, and Joe Flounders at a Philadelphia meeting, '47s don't seem to be getting out to the local Club meetings. The general trend of class representation as listed in the monthly Club reports, seems to be for the older classes to have better representation, but there is no reason why those of our class should not immediately join in the regional Dartmouth organizations.
