1950
Our pleasure cruise 'round the world from the Enchanting East ended December 20, and since then we've been lucky enough to get a month in Boston for a school winding up around Carnival time, which will be about the time this column arrives at your house. So for all you other perennial sophomores, we'll be the shivering salt with the jug of joy juice at the ski jump Saturday afternoon, recipes gladly traded. So much for the trading post, and on to ...
The Hitching Post
Out Ohio way Bill Pulley and Martha Lee Lesher spliced a nuptial knot August 22. Since then they've been washing their dishes in Cincy where Gordon Hood, an usher at the wedding, reports Bill is selling Ohio Valley Plywood Company products ... "under cost, I understand: a real asset to the firm!" Roundo further states that he is continuing law studies in the same metropolis, doing some sales work himself for Kemper-Thomas, and expecting to pass out cigajs next month. Also says PhilGarran might be a recipient of one of those stogies since he's been accepting Government checks in that area.

Walking the Last Mile
You'd think with such an impressive list of vinculum matrimonii we'd be "short on future prospects, but instead there are all sorts of lads and lassies losing their heads. By this time Dick Hollands' spiel learned at DBS has taken him down the aisle with Elizabeth Robinson of Briarcliffe Manor. Miss Robinson was graduated from Elmira College, where she was elected to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. R. T. is still with National Broadcasting in NYC.

Congratulations and best wishes for happiness and prosperity to all of you good people.
Infant Info
A fine communique sent by Charlie Gardner warrants a quote in this department.
"The ALUMNI MAG. arrived today and I was surprised to see no birth announcements in the column. I know darn well plenty of 'gleams' have turned into bundles of joy, so I guess I'll start the ball rolling with my own long overdue announcement. Nancy Anne, born April 17, is in her seventh month, has two teeth for Christmas, and tips the scales at 18 pounds. Bob Thomson became associated with the Robert Gair Company of N. Y. (cardboard and plastic containers) on October 29 (sales). Ken Clark is deep in study at Yale Law School. (Ed. note: Ho ho, that's rich. Latest address for Lt. K. F. Clark Jr., 3700 0.C.T.G., O.T.S. Flight No. 1, Lackland A.F.8., San Antonio, Tex.) Bob Mauk is with Corning Glass in Toledo. ChuckCarpenter and I are still with J. Walter Thompson. Best Regards."
An equally outstanding message arrived from El Cerrito, Calif.
"I thought I had better catch you up on the doings of the Joe T. Gilchrists. May 28 . . . Jane Cooper G., our second future Smithie, made her debut. As her sister, who was born two years and a day before, Jane was born during finals, but by this time the old man had become rather immune to such slight distractions. Three weeks later Joe took off for the Golden State and a job as a Civil Engineer with Bechtel Inc. Just to prove that there's something about a Dartmouth education, he found a house in one day. I guess I should explain my writing this. Joe keeps the check book and I do the correspondence, (signed) Caroline B. Gilchrist."
Now there is a system. Looks like those of us still foot-loose and fancy free will have to avoid opening a checking account or run the danger of a permanent private secretary. To all you people married, engaged and familied, our endorsement for your good luck and happiness.

"Petey Loadsa Fun" Bucklin again reports on the splendor of swanky Quantico in glowing terms and continues his propaganda about the joys of rugged living. Some of the most rugged times have been with Herb Ray, who has gone bureaucratic and usurped a portfolio from the Navy's BuShips in Washington. Pete has also been in touch with Tommy Ringe, another fly-boy at Pensacola.
Rick and Eileen Miller spent most of the summer and fall in El Paso, Tex., where Rick has "undergone the indignity of going through the AA branch of the Army Artillery School at Fort Bliss." En route there they took in some fine Dixieland at the Paddock Lounge in New Orleans. Jazz lovers, take note.
