1953

Upside down or rightside up, anyway you look at it, '53 continues to make news that rings an interesting and progressive note.

First of all, our hats are tipped to Ed Boyle as he resigns as Chairman of the class after five years of faithful, inspiring class leadership and unselfish service to the College. On September 14, Ed entered training for the priesthood with the Jesuit order in Lenox. Mass. We extend to him every best wish as he embarks on his newly chosen career and sincerely thank him for many seen and unseen endeavors over an extended period of time. The Executive Committee has named Howie Clery to succeed Ed as Chairman effective immediately.

News From Cupid's Corner: Three years ago Ed Potoker walked into a classroom at the University of Munich in Germany to study Italian and discovered a Nordic beauty named Berit Maria Arneberg. Six weeks later, Ed and Berit gave up the romance language course - but not romance. In September, they climaxed an international courtship when they were married in Newark, N. J. After graduation, Ed obtained his master's degree from Columbia and was later awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to study German literature in Germany. Berit, a native of Finland, is a graduate of the University of Helsinki where she also obtained her master's degree. Ed will teach English and comparative literature at the University of Rochester this fall. ... Gene Gabianelli and Nancy Louise Mack of Saginaw, Mich., were married on Labor Day in Saginaw. Ted Spiegel was on tap to help with the festivities. Nancy received her bachelor's degree from Michigan State and took her master's degree at the University of Michigan. Gene is a business-lawyer combo now with a master's from Tuck and his LL.B. from the University of Michigan Law School. Rumor has it that the newly-weds will make their home in Ohio.

Little Cupid reports the following engage- ments within the clan: Dr. Ozzie Sherman to Charlotte Landers of Brooklyn. Charlotte, now a senior copywriter for Montgomery Ward, received her B.S. degree from the State University of New York. Ozzie currently is an intern at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York after having graduated from Tufts Medical School in 1957. ...Russ Cook announces his engagement to Marjorie Ann Thomson of St. Davids, Penna.

Since graduation, Russ has spent two years in the Army and last year received his master's degree from Tuck. He is now with the Colonial Management Associates, a Boston investment house.

Another set of identical twins have been added to the class records. This time they belong to Don and Lillian Goss. A pair of boys born on August 17 now increases the Goss household to a total of three - with daughter Diane being joined by two future Dartmouth half-backs. After graduation, Don was associated with Vick Chemical and traveled for them as a salesman for a year and then later worked as a member of their advertising-sales department in New York. In May 1956, he was appointed Head Products Manager for the Inhaler and Lozenge Division. In November 1956, Don joined the N. W. Ayer and Sons advertising agency and is now their account executive on Breck's shampoos. ... Ben Dew is the proud father of a new daughter, Tomika Anne, born on June 17 in Carmel, Calif.

Recently I bumped into Burt Dorsett who was spending his summer working for the Gillette Safety Razor Co. in their manufacturing division in Boston. Burt is now back at Harvard Business School studying toward his master's degree to be awarded this coming June. He looks fine and is proud as he can be of his family which now numbers three. Fred Miller writes the following: "The other day was wandering around an old Poughkeepsie warehouse which IBM was about to take over from a local furniture store. They were moving out and I was looking over possible uses for it. In that grubby hole. I was wandering round in my 'T' shirt in the middle of a heat wave when I spied the familiar face of Jim Cobb. It seems he was all business with one of his good accounts for Kroehler and was checking out the warehouse. All I could say was the old familiar: 'You never know'."
