1954

"... The wolfwinds are wailing at the doorways..." as we go to press this month. The slopes have been good, and it's been mighty cold. So if you are located near George and Mary Brooks at Boston University's African Studies program or Bobby McGrath in his new general insurance - "McGrath Agency" — on North Main St. in Laconia, N. H., you are probably having another winter of fine skiing.

If you find yourself around Jerry Evans at the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton or with Bill Grover, heeling for an MBA at Wharton, University of Pennsylvania, most likely you don't have the time to wax the boards. If you are anywhere near Jim Greenwood in flight operations aboard the carrier "Forrestal" or sitting in classes with Banaras Hindu University student Frank Van Aalstin Banaras, India, you have probably forgotten what a T-bar looks like.

Frostbite threatened the Executive Committee at its annual gathering in the New York City Dartmouth Club just before Christmas.

The Patter looks to a summer wedding.

A number of classmate Christmas cards carried pictures of the kiddies this year. We were most surprised and about ready to mail Hazqui editors Jon and Katie Moore a congratulation card when we saw a little lad on their greeting. Fortunately on the second glance of our double-take we discovered that the youngster was a youthful Liberian. The card was done in an African décor.

Audrey Gutlon, wife of Providence, R. I., toy dealer Pete Gutlon, threatened to launch her son's model Atlas rocket on a Washington probe if the writer didn't get the name of her new son correct this month. So before the count-down is completed let us announce that the youngster's name is Richard Scott, not Peter Jay, as we reported earlier. Audrey said the George and Lois Graboys and Shelly and Betty Ann Woolf joined the Gutlons after the Glee Club concert in Providence recently.

Married on October 4 in Portland, Me., were Wellesleyite Katherine Hildreth and JohnPierce. Dick Fowler did the best-manning as Bob Woodberry and Dick Brace seated the customers. John is associated with H. M. Payson Co. in Portland, Me. He and Kattie have their mailbox in Prout's Neck, Me.

Stu Stearns, Chris Rood and Phil Christophe were in the party that pointed BobMarrs down the aisle in South Norwalk, Conn. Bob and Susanne Rood Smith, a Hood Collegian were married on the same day as the Pierces. Bob is with Scott Paper Co.
