1948

Class Agent, 421 N. Main St., Mt. Prospect, Ill.

It seems like the months roll by just a week or two apart and I'm back at the typewriter again with my clippings, letters and miscellany trying to put all these things into some semblance of a column. This month the material is more plentiful than usual which is very gratifying so leave us no longer hesitate.

Leading the parade, as usual, is the matrimonial news. Miss Joan Williams Hodgdon and Harlow (Munce) Munson were married in Dedham, Mass., on February 25. She is a graduate of La Salle Junior College and Boston University. They spent a couple of days during their honeymoon at the Inn in Hanover and are now at home in Westwood, Mass.

On March 4, Miss Margaret Mary McDonnell and Paul Twomey were married in Portland, Me. They honeymooned in the Adirondacks with two days off at the Hanover Inn. Mrs. Twomey is a graduate of the University of Maine. Paul has been called back into the Navy with the rank of Lt. (jg.) and they are now residing in Charleston, S. C., where he is stationed.

Jack Becker and Miss Alice Marie Mallette of New Rochelle, N. Y., announced in February. She graduated from Penn Hall Junior College and Westchester Commerce School. According to last reports, Jack was working in the New York sales office of the Chicago Pneumatic Tool Cos. No date has been set.

Woody Wood, now back in the marines at Camp Lejeune, N. C., and Miss Beverly Ann Walker of Marblehead, Mass., have recently become engaged. Miss Walker is a Colby Jr. alumna.

Nat Merrill and Miss Barbara Jo Curry of Kokomo, Ind., announced in March. She will receive a bachelor of music degree from the New England Conservatory of Music in June. Nat is up for a master's in musicology from B.U. at the same time. They are planning their wedding for early May.

Taking this marrying one step farther, Philand Ruth Shepard were proud parents of a daughter Deborah Collins, born January 12.

A fine letter from Bob Mohrbacher states that he and his wife Emma have a son Frederick Robert, who was one year old March 23. He further says,

"I am still with National Tube Co. as an industrial engineer. Had a seige of rheumatic fever last May so I don't think the Navy will want me for a while. The illness also kept me from visiting Hanover. Saw a few pictures of carnival on TV and kinda got 'homesick.'"

They are living at 831 Massachusetts Drive, Elwood City, Pa.

Getting into miscellany of one kind or another, Whit Washburn received his master's from Harvard in March... . Dirk Kuzmier is now qualified to get any classmates who go astray in New York off the hook. He passed his bar exams in January and is associated with the firm of Kuzmier, Zweibel, McKeon and Schmitt in Manhattan.. ..

Bobo Russell is heading up the Red Cross drive in Saugerties, N. Y. He is also still in the footlights with the Coach House Players of Kingston, N. Y. .. . Bill Ivins is slated to transfer to Harvard Med School next fall Howie Westney is in med school in New York while trying to evade the arms of the USN.

• Letters from Dick Greene with some news and evidence that the army hasn't completely snowed him under yet. Another from BobMerriam says that there has been forwarded the idea of having an off-year reunion in Hanover this year. He asks that all in favor say "aye" to him as soon as possible.
