1950
Well, hi, there, chums. Hope you had a tolerable summer, enjoyed a good vacation, and are ready to pay some attention to the activities and accomplishments of your classmates. Although to date, as far as we non-TV watchers know, nary a '50 has won even $16,-000, there have been some significant attainments since last spring. For example, ponder the line-up at...
THE HITCHING POST

On May 26 Dave Hitchcock married Miss Rachel Lee Williamson of Church Hill, Md. Lee was with the International Cooperation Administration, while Dave continues his duties in the Senator H. Alexander Smith (N. J.) office as legislative assistant. Dave got his Master's at Columbia, and Lee graduated from Sarah Lawrence.
Bob Tredwell and Helen Penniman Marsh led the parade to the altar in Bride's Month, on the second day to be precise, in Scarsdale, N. Y. Helen went to Wheaton. On hand to usher were Tom Barr '49 and Bob Day. Treddy uses TCP in his go-buggy.
Maybe we can get an exact date of the nuptials of Bill West and Dorothy Eugenia Lenox, but for now settle for the fact that it was in June and in Baltimore. Stew Young was there as an usher, and Jim Melville also witnessed the affair.
Bill Turino and Mary Armistead Bahr of Delray, Fla., were wed in Manhattan June 16. Mary is an alumna of Smith. Nink Hoy acted as best man.
The following weekend Douglass College, better known to you as New Jersey College for Women, added two new members to our ranks. On June 23 Bill Broadbent married Elizabeth Clare Smith of Maplewood. Bill is with John W. Taylor law firm in East Orange and had Jim Halsey among the ushers.
The other NJC gal to enter the fold is Leonora Greenspan of Perth Amboy. She and Dick Echikson got hitched June 24 with stalwarts Jim Myers and Lee Sarokin monitoring the aisles. Also on hand were Rosemary and Walt Lindenthal and Jill and Ken Edelson. Ech is with Macy's, Lee with Kenyon & Eckhardt.
Finally, two of our tribe joined the young marrieds on the last day of June. Clarke Nash and Sandra Cornelia Newing were wed in Endicott, N. Y. She attended Hood and graduated from Syracuse, and Clarke graduated from (if you'll pardon the expression) Princeton after four years in the Navy Air Corps. He's attending George Washington Law School and working for the Navy Department.
On the same day, Pete von Herrmann exchanged vows with Mary Layton Turner of Utica, N. Y. They'll live in Warren, Mich., where Pete has a job as research physicist at the new Technical Center of G.M. He'll complete his work for a Ph.D. in nuclear physics also. Mary is a Smith gal. Jack Elliott ushed.
WALKING THE LAST MILE
A quartet of '50s are heading for the altaras announced in June and July. Essential facts only on Howie Weston: the prospective bride, Sandra Marie Ceres, a grad of Newton College of the Sacred Heart.

Wedding bells will ring for Phil See and Katherine H. Bradley of Durham, N. H. She attended Radcliffe and Katy Gibbs.
