1954
The Yuletide, a season of cheer, comes with an especially sad message for 'Fifty-fours. From Caracas, Venezuela, we learned of the death by drowning of Marc Sickel. Marc was swimming in the surf off Margarita Island near Caracas. He was sports editor and feature writer for the Caracas Daily Journal. After leaving Hanover Marc did graduate work at the Juilliard School of Music and received his Master's Degree at the Columbia School of International Affairs in New York City. In Venezuela as in Hanover Marc was known for his active interest in music and other cultural pursuits. The Class loses one of its finest members.
Paul Martin, reporter-deskman with the Lancaster (Pa.) New Era (despite the name he claims it's not a left wing sheet) dropped us a clipping from the New York Daily which displayed the grinning countenance of Great Neck, N. Y., supermarket merchandiser Ron Stillman. Ron was among a group of Lexington Avenue strollers who were solicited for an answer to the question: "Should union officials be permitted to perpetuate themselves in office?" Our loyal capitalist responded in the negative. Inadently Paul and wife Julie will be hanging a stocking this month for six-month-old daughter Monica.
