1950

Whether you've had a putter or a lawn mower in your hot little hands all weekend, you must deserve a rest by now. So if your favorite television show isn't due for another five minutes, come along and let's survey the line-up at...

THE HITCHING POST

February found two longtime holdouts finally securely encamped in the matrimonial fold. On the second of the month Ted Prime and Ruth Mace Bramhall of Keeseville, N. Y., walked down the aisle. Ruth is another of those Smith gals. The duo has taken up residence in Lake Placid where Ted practices law.

The day before Birthington's Washday Ray de Voe wed Anne Elizabeth Fosbroke in New York. She's an alumna of St. Mary's School in Peekskill and Finch College. Ray works for the investment house of Francis I. du Pont.

WALKING THE LAST MILE

Phil Pearson and Miss Ellen L. Schmidt of Framingham, Mass., are engaged, the announcement having been made January 31. She is a senior at the University of Massachusetts, where Phil worked last year. He's slaving away for a doctorate at Rutgers now.

Planning a spring wedding are Jim Cavanaugh and Miss Margery Moora of Darien, Conn. Jim is with the Cavanaugh Lumber Co. in Manchester, N. H. Marg works for Eastern Air Lines.

Also to be married after the first crocus has bloomed are Ted Remsen and Miss Victoria Jebb Allen of Milwaukee. This hot dope hit the papers February 19. The prospective bride graduated from a well known institution of higher education in Northampton. Smiling Ted is a partner in the brokerage firm of James H. Oliphant & Co. of New York.

RATTLE PRATTLE

Rob and Nat Perry, as you may recall, were the parents of the first male offspring among Fifties who married after graduation. The young lad, Andy, has a couple of siblings who should have been reported on ere this. So to bring the records up to date we mention the names of his sisters, Susan who is 3½ and Jane who is 1½. Latest addition to the clan is Richard Brownell, born January 19, weighing seven pounds, four ounces. As Nat puts it, they're doing a fine job of supporting the statistics that prove families are getting larger these days. Bob sells decorator fabrics in New York for Duplan Corp.

Don and Patricia Cummings have their second child, a girl, Katherine MacDowell, weighing eight pounds. Her brother John was born New Year's Day 1955 and is the grandson of the late Rev. John Cummings '23. Don works for the Department of Justice in Tacoma, Wash.

INKADENTAL INTELLIGENTZ

Recent Hanover Inn-juns included Clift Whiteman, Tuck School's gift to Guaranty Trust in N.Y.C., Frank Gilroy, and Dolph Cramer. The latter was spotted by "Crash" McIlwain on the slopes at Mad River Glen over the long February 22 weekend, as were Guy Cogswell and Bob Ferguson. No doubt many more of the troops were in the environs. Has anyone ever set up a central clearing house so everyone knows where the parties are being held???

Bill Gumbart has been named an assistant trust officer at the First National Bank and Trust Co. in New Haven. He is specializing in trust estate and investment work Dave Tillotson decided to forsake his job as superintendent as a mill in Maine and went back in service on January 1 Dr. Sherm Hoyt apparently has reorganized himself, too. His locale is now St. Paul.

Sandy Pooler has been awarded a Charles Howard Scholarship at Boston University law school where he is a first year student.... Down among the oil wells, Max Wellborn is an instructor in history at Baylor University, Waco. Texas.... John Harlow is still out in Fort Wayne, Ind., doing technical writing for Magnavox.

Capt. Fred Laird can be reached at 7493 d S.I.W., c/o APO 57, N.Y.C. Army vets, kindly translate for us swabbies.... Also across the seas are two classmates in Israel, Gerry Brown in Tel Aviv and Dick Tillson at the American Consulate in Haifa.

Dick Buckley's selling job with Boyle Midway Inc. has taken him to Billings, Mont.... Dick Imus is a placement officer in the Navy Department's civilian personnel division in Washington, D. C....Gene Ulrich seems to have lost no love for the alma mater judging by his very green-and-white auto. It just pulled up to the door and we're off for a trial spin, so we'll let this be it for the month.

Don't forget the Alumni Fund! See you.
