1948

Class Agent, JEREMIAH LUDINGTON 101 Longfellow, Detroit 2, Mich.

This column is being written during one of the warmest January days this correspondent has ever seen in Hanover. There's not a flake of snow on the ground and the campus is as green as it is in the middle of May. The Davis Rink is a big pool of water, the hockey game with Colorado has been cancelled, and the ski team is biting its nails in hopes that there will be snow at least, oh at least, for Carnival, the sine qua non of Dartmouth's winter life.

Bud Mercer and Phil Veireck have recently become engaged, the latest two, so far as 1 know, of our class to do so. Bud is betrothed to Miss Eve Antoinette Hession of Brooklyn and Bayport, L. I. Before or after your June graduation, Bud? Phil, who spent the past two summers in Alaska and who is still there now, is engaged to Miss Sarah Ellen Kingsbury of Rowayton, Conn. Congratulations to both of you guys from the rest of us '48s.

Any others of you fellows who have become engaged or married and have neglected to let us know, please give us the word when you get time. The rest of the guys would like to know about it. We don't have any statistics here, but I would guess that about one-fourth of the class is now either hitched or soon to be so.

For the benefit of anyone who didn't get a copy last June and who would like one, there are some copies of the '48 Aegis still available for sale in the office of the publication. The Editor tells me that any member of the class desiring a copy can notify the Business Manager in Robinson Hall and he will send a copy C.O.D. to you. The cost is twelve bucks plus postage.

Here's some more news of individual members of the class. Dirk Kuzmier is well on the road already to becoming an upstanding lawyer. He's halfway through his three years at N.Y.U. Law School even though he graduated from Dartmouth only last February. JoeMarple is living at home in Manhasset, L. 1., but works for Free & Peters, Inc., in New York City. What sort of work are you doing, Joe? Marve Hader is studying medicine at New York Medical College. Another law student is Joel Berson who is at Yale. Also in New Haven is Art Charr, who is enrolled in the Department of Drama of the Yale School of Fine Arts. He's a first year student of acting there. Dave Richards has kept on in the U. S. Navy and is now an Ensign at Bainbridge, Md. AI Cassin writes that he is taking a twoyear manufacturing training course from American Optical in Charlton, Mass., and that he likes the work very much. He can't be too far from Jim Eckman, who is with the same outfit in Southbridge.

Bob Blum is ski-bumming his way at Sun Valley, working as a waiter from four to eleven P.M. and skiing the rest of the day. What a set-up! Gordy Noe is selling lumber in Portland, Me. Dave Walsh is an insurance claims adjuster with the Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. of Brooklyn. Mel Cheesman writes that he is doing graduate work at the University of Oregon in Eugene and expects to go into teaching next year.

The Dartmouth Medical School has a really large complement of '48s considering the small size of the school. The first-year class of less than twenty-five men has five '48s enrolled. Besides the previously mentioned, Keith McLoud and Bill Pace, Lou Clarke, Tom Huffman, and Jack Price are also future medicos. And speaking of medicine, Huck Hoekelman is at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York. Ran into John Parks, the Dartmouth cheerleader on the Harvard side of the stadium at the Harvard game last fall, at St. Sauveur in Canada during vacation. He's in his third year at Harvard Med now.

Phil Gahm came in and pointed out that he has just become engaged to Miss Luella Flett of Milton, Mass. Phil is finishing up his second year of Tuck and will get his Master's in June, while his fiancee is nowteaching at Fort Kent in Maine. Nice going, Phil, and congratulations to you both.

Apologies go to Wendy Griffith and his lovely wife, the former Barbara Foster, for my not previously knowing her maiden name. Griff is now with Western Electric, and is living in the Oranges, N: J.

That's about it for this month, not to mention that Charley Widmayer wants the column short. Can still use cards or letters from you guys, although I can't promise to answer all of them. Your buddies, though, would like to know what you are doing. So long until next month.
