1954
Come on, Dad. Let the kids watch "Zorro" alone tonight. We'll bring you up on Class news, and you'll be back in time for "Gunsmoke" and "Restless Gun."
If you talk about restless ... you can't help but notice Donn and Freda Hill, who now have five little girls bedecking their Rochester, N. Y., home. In descending order from age four are sisters Terri, Suzanne, Lisa, Laurie and December 27 arrival Jean Marie. You said it couldn't be done?
Among a restless tribe of Danakils, reputed to be one of Africa's most unfriendly, is Jim Colby, doing missionary work in Asmara, Eritrea, Ethiopia.

In New York former Army man John Varnum is making his film debut in Mervyn LeRoy's Warner Bros. "The FBI Story," starring Jimmy Stewart and Vera Miles. John plays the role of FBI agent Breckenridge in the picture. We guess that the Nugget film critics will delight in a chance to shoot comments at an old grad.
In December John Musa dragged home after a six-month European tour which he took after his Navy discharge. John currently took a position with the Bell Telephone Laboratories in New Jersey.

Recently your correspondent crossed the paths of Bob Sokolski in New York City and Pete and Joan Sullivan at a Dartmouth luncheon in the nation's capital. Pete is a grad student in history at Georgetown. After a trip around the country - a family emolument for escaping with a U. of Michigan master's degree - Rip Coffin moves in with your correspondent and assumes his new desk at the Bureau of the Budget.
