Memorial Fund Chairman, DAVID L. GARRATT Gibson Island, Md.

Sue and Frank Fiedler (Ottumwa, la.) are relaxing—both daughters are on their own. Oldest, Alice, a grad of Iowa State, is a dietitian; younger, Janet, is a grad of Colorado' College They hope to be at '18's greatest of all reunions, in '53, with '17 and '19—last time in Hanover '29 People still talk in Buffalo about the lovely wedding a few months back of Judith Felt, pretty daughter of Clara and Eddie Nancy and Red Hulbert, whose lives have been enriched by living many years in the Far East and Europe, decided last summer on a different vacationenrolled in the Woodstock, N. Y., school of Art. Nancy studied ceramics; Red, painting; sot himself well grounded for landscape oils if ever he has the time (Pres. this year of Rye Community Chest) Jim Salisbury, like Frank Clahane (working on D admissions, as is Pete Colwell, Ed Dwyer and others) swore off cigarettes the last couple of years, blew up from 130 lbs. in '35 to 170 now, looks like a country squire.

In his spritely columns in N. Y. City papers (Journal of Commerce, "New York Here and There" and "Make Mine Manhattan," InsuranceAdvocate) Dusty Rhodes refers to the "dazzling display of beautiful girls, brilliant costumes, topnotch talent and the vivacious goldenhaired stars in the Wedgewood Room at the Waldorf, and the Spanish ballet and Irish folksongs, and American Swing at the Copa Cabana"; in fact, Dusty is your man about town if you want to see good drama, ballet, burlesque or fine swanky places to eat and enjoy'fine entertainment. Acquire the savoir faire of Russell and you'll hold your women GerryGeran, one of the fastest men on ice in his day, as old Canadian hockeyplayers will attest (wasn't exactly slow in Paris), burned up his dogs successfully selling laundry service in N. Y. Citynow can sell you a blue-eyed baby doll for your grandchild with her very same face MelSouthwick (Sewanee, Tenn.) says, "never worked as hard in my life though I'm supposed to be an old retired oil can." .. . the Miners and manv others regretted that Jean and Russ Howard couldn't make the Holy Cross game and the '18 party and see their son Rusty Of our StanleyJones, whose Mary Olive and Nancy can be seen in their new silverstreak convertible Pontiac, NedRoss's daughter Oma, now at Vassar, says Stanley Jones is simply a panic!"

Gov. Duff of Pa. marked the 40th anniv. of the Nat. Urban League by proclamation. Some remarks by our capable Les: "The '49 program produced 15,000 jobs for Negroes, total placement 50,000 jobs. The change in 60% of negroes has been a 'social miracle' starting with a budget at $2500 40 years ago, the budget is now 11/2 million. Later Les made a fine talk at Grand Rapids, Mich., before 500' delegates from 30 states. And, said Tom Bryant (and we agree) "the ALUMNI MAG could have a fine article on Les and accomplishments as Exec. Director of the Nat. Urban League." Pat (smart horse woman) and George Stoddard (cocktailed with Kath and Bill Mudgett—shot by lens a rare Big Horn sheep in Wyoming), spent a week in Sept. in the desert; Killpecker Creed County, Nev.; drove up from L. A. to Vancouver; stayed at a Ye'lowstone river Montana ranch. Great distinction came to them as guests of prominent Murray Baldwin, Mayor of largo, N. D.'s largest city. Murray was Lt. Comdr. in World War I and 11-in charge of Navy Base in Eng. (I) Sea Island Base (II) As Smiling Irishman lusty Cap Hanley reported a year ago when he met the dignified Chief Justice Pups Colie on the way to close title for a fishing lodge in upper N. Y. State, both Pups and wife Ro were in Montana last sum- mer doing some dry fly fishing on the Gallatin and Madison Rivers last Sept Ru Hesse wasn't dancing, but was better after a week s application of cortisone at St. Luke s.

George Hull in Washington now doing a grand job real estating, vacationed last summer at es , port Inn on Lake Champlain Marion and Dick White motored for 2 mos. thru the Amer. and Canadian Rockies as far north as Jasper. . . . Peggy Rood had no sooner recovered from daughter Margaret's wedding, Sept. 9, and started PJC'" ing off young Christopher '54 to D, then a sarite daughter Alison announced her engagement to a Princeton '47 man At the dinner for new officers of L. I. Dartmouth Ass'n, the distinctive award of the Tomahawk was given to BillCoulson not only as the founder of this energetic group but also for the tremendous work he's done for the College in organizing the interest of Dartmouth fathers Helen and Doc Bob Ryan's daughter Rita graduated from Georgian Court College, Lakewood, N. J., and had a big wedding and reception in the Copley Plaza doing the job in grand style

Thanks to the energy and enthusiasm of the Erivins and the Bryants, efforts were made to arrange an '18 get together at the time of the Penn game which may come off another year Kay and Johnny Cunningham attended the Natl. Life Ins. Co. Conv. at Greenbrier Hotel, "White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., then Kay went on down to Florida—says Johnny, "Fred Carleton is busy educating his family, Tom Campbell fixing up our streets, Hilliker loading his trucks to the hilts." ....

Tommy Tarrant beamed when on Sept. 19 his baby daughter first started to school. Edith and Dick Holton, who enjoyed hosting referee StewTeaze (Forest Hills tennis matches), thought they saw old tennis star Mandy Crothers. .... While taking son Ben to Hanover for opening of college, Tom Proctor said, "Deer Creek runs longside my farm (Darlington, Md.), and we had a flash flood and deer creek rose 30 ft. I have rocks, trees, stumps, mud, barn doors, automobiles, tires all over my pasture field which will take a year to clean up." .... A mighty pretty wedding it was that Cath and Eddie Ferguson attended when Doc. JoeQuincy's nice daughter Judith married a D. '47 man After several operations and losing 1/3rd of his weight, Al Zulick, Al Gustafson's favorite court jester, is back making quality children's shoes Jack Storrs wanted so much to round up Lewis Lee and Syl Morey to drive to Hanover for the Holy Cross game and didn't realize on Oct. 17 Lewis was marrying Virginia Paddock at Elkton, Md In Oct. Mildred and Congressman J ays us LeFevre were at Lake Placid for the Savings Bank Convention; later enjoyed a football game at West Point with Kath and EvYoung—Ev is always building for Reader's Digest

When Dick Cooley (made a hole in one, wk. before), Hort Chandler, Eddie Ferguson and the Boston crowd go into action, they have a wonderful party. At the University Club, night before the game were Lew Cousens, HortChandler, Tom Shirley, Don Davis, JohnnyJohnston, Fergi, Stump Barr, Ray Smith, BillChristgau (just got up out'a bed and walked) and my how Bennie Mugridge and Dick Holton enjoyed themselves! Fat Rowell gave a short speech on how to play Canasta. At the game were Kath, Doc Angell; daughter Rosemary and Papa Hort Chandler; Marty Straus and wife (as one of the prominent industrialists in the country, Marty had his picture in all the N. Y. City papers in Aug. as Pres. of new By-Mart, Inc.—will produce and distribute to drugstores a new type of hair coloring, enabling women to do a professional job at home for only two bucks); Hittie and ReedMontgomery; "George Kapf and daughter," said Fergi in a letter when Pete Colwell's Directory says "not married"; the Barrs and Blandins; Bill Christgau; and genial Johnny Campbell (owns one of Cambridge's most successful laundries—has 3 or 4 dry cleaning units); Edith and Dick Cooley; Helen and Lew Cousens; (Lew borrowed Helen's car the night before and left his old one home.

One of N. Y. City's largest '18 gatherings was at the D club Nov. 2 just before the Yale game-prodders Red Hulbert, Curt Glover, Ned Ross, AlRice, Syl Morey, Rog Howland, Bill Christian,Pete Col well and Paul Miner did a magnificent job. Loyal always to the class, no matter how busy (and he's a busy man), Red Wilson was present; MartyStraus (his lovely place in Great Barrington has 6 0-8 huge store windows overlooking the lovely Berkshires and the valleys up into Vermont); Dan Shea (that perennial youth atop 50-year-old Moody's Investors Service—counsel on Investments of some of the largest pension plans in the country); Ned Ross, who's often warned by Dick Holton that he'll soon get the brushoff by his daughter; Andy Ross (reported a happy visit with LymieBlack out in Seattle, and not only is Lymie an important executive of a large industrial firm but in addition a Director in one or more banks); PaulMather who we're happy to say is a permanent New Yorker now; Sieve Mahoney back from a business trip across the country; Lester McElwain, hosting to Stumpie Barr; Bob Knowles (never misses the Princeton game) and Cap Hanley. Rightly did Paul Miner gloat over the conquest of getting this Irishman out after repeated promises, and in hubub of joy, you'd expect that Irishman to ask, "and what sort of medals do I get for coming?" Also present and for the first time in years was Hal Eastman, partner of well-known Niles and Niles accounting firm (usually is out of town or would attend more dinners); Russ Smith (pricked up his ears when he heard of 'lBers retiring around Hanover and swears to buy himself a place nearby—has a Chrysler agency now); BillChristgau. billed as the big light of the party and never failing (looked fine); Fred Cassebeer, the class Sec. from '23 to '3B, a 15-year stretch; PaulMiner, class Pres. sophomore year; Johnny Johnston (delicately handles labor for the famed Belding Corticelli Cos., of which he's Exec. VP, and unions can't enter his shop—they're loyal to Johnny and Johnny praises their know-how as the best in the textile industry); Pete Colwell fresh from his wk. at Orford on Ken Huntington's ('l9) farm; (also was given a rousing cheer for electioneering in behalf of townsmate J. Roy McGovern) and ex-roomey of Francis Taggert Christy (desperately hoping he'd be present); StumpieBarr, all the way from Hanover and Dick Holton who had to leave to attend a bank dinner.
