Three years ago this week we clomped across the frozen green wondering how to cut that last class and get a head start on vacation without the Dean being any the wiser. At that time it was a matter of "how many days 'til Christmas," or for some of us tardy folk, "how many shopping days." Reflecting the change of status this year's leading question is: "How many pay days 'til Christmas." And you may very well run into some of our commercially inclined when you do your....

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING ...

In the Green Acres shopping center at Valley Stream, L. I., a new vice-presidential name plaque at Berley Stores Inc. reads Tony Kossove. Just out of the Army in Europe, Tony linked up with his father in their women's and children's ready-to-wear chain of seventeen stores.

With Thayer School diploma buried under a year's experience in Pittsfield, Mass., HenryWillard took appointment as a laboratory engineer in advance product engineering in Plainville, Conn. Henry and wife Lois are living in the nearby town of Newington.... Plugging for the Armstrong Cork Company in Lancaster, Pa., is Russ Benjamin. Russ entered the firm's Floor Division sales training program.

Dick and Susan Wright set up their mailbox in front of a Chevy Chase, Md., home after Dick's Master's degree from Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of International and Public Affairs mushroomed into an Atomic Energy Commission billet. Dick works with the AEC division supervising atomic energy distribution for international domestic use.

A bit of atomic reaction came from recent Navy escapee John Heston, employee of the Philadelphia advertising firm, N. W. Ayer and Son, when he was planted in his office, seething with 50 eligible, young, female secretaries. Not one to let such a harem scare'm, Hes, still an old cyclotron at heart, found this impressive atomic pile right in his element. Leastways he's finding time during office hours for some atomic fishin!

Recently wed Al and Peggy Bialoski are residing in Cleveland where Al plies the printer's trade.

Making pilgrimage to the Plain before the fall term were Tom Scott and wife, of the U. of Michigan Med School and Ypsilanti, Mich.; Mr. and Mrs. Dick Gluek, Excelsior, Mich.; Art Keleher, Garden City, N. Y.; Fred and Lynn Alpert, New Bedford, Mass.; Jim Grady, Bayside, N. Y.; and Pete and Cynthia Liebman, East Orange, N. J.

From the East comes belated word that Harvard grad school has turned loose BruceClasson. Max Geldens and Yngvar Huistendahl with Masters' degrees in Business Administration, while Lee Huff slipped out of Cambridge with his Master's in Public Administration. We encountered Lee at Dartmouth House in London at a meeting of American students. He's studying economic theory at the U. of London.

The publishing firm of Whittier Books, Inc., commenced issuing royalty checks to Yale Law School student Mitch Kramer. Whittier has printed Mitch's first volume of poems, "Valley of the Shadow," depicting life in New York City which Mitch wrote during undergraduate days. Congratulations, Mitch. This is the first '54 volume we've had the pleasure of announcing.

The Christmas holidays brought a rumbling of hoofbeats out of the Mid-West. The mightiest horde of tribesmen surged out of the U. of Michigan. Law students Skip Grinton, Bob Vorsanger, Sam Bradley, Bob Martin, Joe Gruel and Ky Lewis are planning on some vacation bar experience. Amid the thunder of departers could be heard the patter of little feet - Ky and Ann Lewis proudly tack up a new stocking by the family chimney to accommodate Ky III, a July 29 arrival.

Also at Michigan are Jim Flood and Art Patterson. At the U. of Southern California Med School and residing in Alhambra, Calif., Bob Spears diagnoses his last year of M.D. training; 011 June 20 Bob prescribed Ann Brigham as cure for his own case of Cupid's sickness. Bob met his bride, a Californian also, while she was at Smith. Al Pitzner toddled out from Chicago to join the Spears' entourage. The groom also had chance to swap shop-talk with Lloyd Tepper recently when Lloyd, now at Harvard Med, was on the West Coast.

Nazarene Theological Seminary student Pete Gunas was viewed in the pulpit of the Nazarene Church in Uxbridge, Mass., several months ago. Pete was guest preacher before returning to his studies in Kansas City, Mo.

UNDER THE MISTLETOE.

On the engagement calendar this month is the September 3 announcement of Kehn Schramm and Eleanor Haynes of William and Mary and Port Washington, N. Y. Kehn's in his third year at UVM Med. In Katonah, N. Y., Elist-Pearson College of Tufts student Margaret Taube announced her September 6 betrothal to Tom Harrington, who had just completed his Lt.'s stint in the army.

North Carolina Law student Hal Conarro coiled the engagement noose around the finger of Mary Edwards of Hempstead, N. Y. Mary is a graduate of St. Luke's Hospital School of Nursing in New York. Helen Menges of Bronxville, N. Y., manacled Tom McCrea. Tom, out of the Navy and now in business in East Bay, Calif., met Helen at her Alma Mater, Bradford Jr.

Sharing Christmas dinner with Dix Bain this year is Elizabeth MacDonald of Woodridge, N. H. The Bains were united on August 10 in New York City. At a reception in the Beekman Tower Hotel, usher Harry Robinson was sighted.

Leaving armor for armour. Fort Knox Army Lt. Larry Russell joined forces with Marilyn Eadie of San Bernardino, Calif., and the U. of California on August 25. Larry plans to angle back to Cornell Hotel Management School next April, Uncle Sam obliging.

In Dorchester, Mass., Marlyn RosofE walked to the altar with Marty Lindenauer on June 17. Marty's finishing his last year at Tufts Med. Marlyn is at B.U.

An additional stocking will be hung by the chimney in the home of the Dick Grasseys. Son Douglas in May was the couple's second arrival. Luke and Anne Case will have son Murray Hall nestled all snug in his bed. The Cases are in Cleveland where Luke is working with his father at the Lamson & Sessions Co.

Keeping tabs on the peripatetic service man is virtually impossible. He's there one minute, gone the next. We'll give you our latest, though. An August military transport from France dumped Armyman Pete Yates at Maguire AFB. With duffle-bag over shoulder, Pete trooped off: to Fort Dix, N. J., and "out." Also discharged was Dave Dame, recently arrived from Germany. After a 26-week session of officer basic training at Quantico, Va., Lt. Barry Cox, USMC, moved on to NAS, Pensacola, Fla. Barry is married to Barbara Griffin of Hartford, Conn.

Lts. Sonny Silmore and Phil Kaiser, USAF, were multi-engine pilot wing-winners after training at Good fellow AFB, San Angelo, Tex., and Tom Campbell and Bill Daley were awarded Aircraft Observer wings in ceremonies at James Connally AFB, Waco, Tex., Lt. Don Descombes received his wings at Goodfellow AFB also. Don and wife Elizabeth were in Hanover last August, a short hop from their East Meadow, N. Y., residence.

Army Pfc. Russ Cary was among the Maintenance and Cold Weather Training Command team that demonstrated climbing and rescue techniques celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the "nationalizing" of the 1,200-foot rock, Devil's Tower in Wyoming.

Amid the fresh snows at Fort Devens, Mass., Fifth Army General Hospital man Glenn Wesselmann pitches tent for his evening respite. Glenn, who will head back to Cornell grad school of Business and Public Administration next fall, crossed paths with Stan Clark, a "Saturday's Hero" last fall on the Fort Devens gridiron group.

The last few packages under this year's tree have miscellaneous labels including ... "Frogman" Clint Gaylord is paddling through Underwater Swimmers School in Florida, in preparation for mine disposal work with the Navy, and "Speechless" Pvt. Ed Hayes, drafted after several months with General Mills, is now helping the Under Secretary of Army for Fiscal Affairs write speeches in the Pentagon. Ed and Lt. (jg) Pete Geithner, now at Cecil Field, Jacksonville, Fla., exchanged yawns a while back at 5 in the morning on the runway of the Washington airport.

That leaves us rather speechless this month. The very best wishes to everyone for a fine Holiday Season.
