1949

I guess this is my last column of the year, so it's a good time to remind you that the Dartmouth-Brown game is again to be held in Providence next fall. Since we Zeisers live only four blocks from the Brown Stadium, we're hoping all of you who attend the fray will skip over to the shack afterward for some refreshment. We'll also hope that the Green produces better results for us this time. The date of the game is October 13. May I suggest, too, that it would be a good opportunity to get a big class get-together. Another thought I've had recently is to plan to return to Hanover next year for Winter Carnival. I figured that if a gang of us (with wives, of course, they'd never let us loose alone) got in town together we could readily have a ball. I've written several of the troops and gotten tentative affirmative answers from King Ball, TomSwartz, Herb Gramstorff, and John Sweetland. Why not plan to join us?

My news this month is reasonably scant.... Engagements: Ed Graham of New York City is engaged to Miss Nancy Keogh also of New York with a May 12th wedding scheduled. Ed is with the advertising firm of Young & Rubicam. ... Bob C. Smith of Swampscott, Mass., is engaged to Miss Carol J. Agnew or Lynn, Mass. A June wedding is planned in this one.

JackEnglish of Stoneham, Mass., and New York was married in early April to Miss Virginia Carmichael of California and New York. Jack is now arranging music for orchestras and night club acts in New York. He formerly was arranger for singer Joni James.... The dad of Alan Winslow out in California sent me a full-page newspaper clipping of the wedding of Dana "Deke" Jackson to Miss Jeanne Ryan of San Francisco. The couple was married on April 14. Two of Deke's ushers were Jay Urstadt and Durk Kuzmier ('48).

Only one guy back at the Hanover Inn in the last month - Clarke Church of Lexington, Mass., got back on April 11.

We had our Annual Dinner of the R. I. Alumni Association on April 25 and among the guests were Harv Nolan and Jack Kilmartin. It was a fine meeting, and the participation of the younger classes (since 1945) was most heartening. I certainly recommend your participation in similar events in your own area.

That about runs me out of copy. How about a missive over the next few months? Meanwhile, I hope you all have a healthy and prosperous summer. Also, don't forget KingBall's Alumni Fund drive.
