Returning to Hanover at 4 a.m. today I was startled to see lights on in many of the dorm rooms. My very Vermont taxi driver informed me, with no small show of pleasure, that it was final exam time and that these particular students were beginning to pay for their "sins." I wonder if you too recall those late nights at exam time.
Two '52s who certainly must have recalled some undergraduate big moments recently were Dick McMahon and Johnny Grocutt who showed they still can play top-rate hockey - even though the varsity sextet showed a little too much strength for the alumni. Rog Malkin was also in town during January and stayed at the Inn.
George and Elaine Littlehales had their first child, James Mark, on Nov. 29. They've just moved to 89 Cherry Hill Circle in Branford, Conn.

Another medically-minded 1952 handing out cigars to honor the arrival of a young lady is Lloyd Fisher. Dr. Lloyd and wife Ruth had their second girl, Ellen Gail, on Dec. 27—a very nice Christmas present. Nancy Ann is the first born. Lloyd is assistant resident in medicine at Bellevue and Memorial Hospitals in New York City. He will begin residency in cardiology on July 1 - he reports that Red Watson and Don Horrigan, both doctors, will also be there as residents in medicine and radiology respectively.

I had the opportunity to stop in at the Dartmouth Club of New York open house last week (and if you haven't seen the refurbished club you should do so soon) and had a pleasant talk with George and Maria Davis in addition to those Club stalwarts, Dek Davidson and Nels Ehinger. Roy Abbott called the New York Dartmouth office and invited me to attend the weekly 1952 luncheon of the Wall Street contingent. I'm looking forward to it and shall report on the Wall Streeters at a later date.
Ted Dunham, 1952's representative in the French Cameroun in West Africa, reports his interests as big game hunting, flying and capturing live gorillas. Anybody in the market for a family pet?

He's also a vehicle programming analyst in the sales department of the Lincoln Division of Ford.
Dr. Sum Moulton is a flight surgeon with the Navy. Attorney Bill Randall holds forth in Milwaukee. He and wife Wendy have one child, Cynthia. Jim Cooke is trying to stir up interest in the Harvard-Dartmouth slalom, held somewhere around Mt. Washing, ton each year, and would appreciate hearing from any of the skiers in the class so in dined. Jim and Jane live in Marblehead, Mass., with son Ted, where Jim is a production engineer with Lynn Sand and Stone Company.
Sandy and Olive Wiper live in Suffield, Conn., where Sandy is a teacher/coach at Suffield Academy. They have two daughters, Diane and Susan. Dick McDonough reports that he and wife Caroline are still in Mexico where Dick is an accountant with International General Electric Company.
A change of address card recently handed me reports that Jim and Nancy Churchill, and son Glenn, have moved from the West Coast to Pleasantville, N.Y., which I believe is a sign that Jim's service days are over. Les Geller, a graduate of Harvard Law in '55, is doing legal work with the Army in Philadelphia and looking ahead anxiously to his separation date. Dick Hull, another Harvard Law graduate, is handling legal details for the Navy in Washington, D.C.

Another '52 off in a far corner of the world is Walt Simons, working with the Indonesian affiliate of Stanvac. He and Mary have one child, Alexandra. I imagine Walt could really give us the low-down on the unrest (putting it mildly) in that part of the globe today.
Have a good month!
