1952
Despite the action of a comparative handful of the class, your secretary's all-too-simple theories on the settling of the class have held up during the past month.
Five jokers made long-distance moves just to argue the point I had made on that particular subject. This would have been very unsettling if it weren't for the more than thirty guys who made cross-town jaunts. Two fellows just changed street numbers. One of the shorter moves was made by your secretary who finally found his way into the new location on Balch Hill-Velvet Rocks as the above address shows. April so far has been a wonderful combination of snow and mud.
Tommy Collins gains the dubious honor of having the largest moving bill. He left Virginia for a new home at 15 Hillcrest Court, Berkeley, Calif. Could this have something to do with Hawaii's newly-gained statehood? At last report attorney Tom had three children.
Another '52 who left the Old Dominion was Jack Arndt who now gets his mail delivered at 216 Wakefield Road, Rosemont Penna. Dr. Bill Fletcher, Formerly of East Wolfeboro, N. H., is now located in Arlington, Mass., at 28 Chester Street. Gerry Lukeman now haunts the streets of New York City address Apt. 3CN, 210 Thompson Street while Bob Koester has made a big jump from Memphis to Minneapolis (930 Mt. Curve Avenue).
Two 52 engagements were in the news this month: A June 27 wedding ceremony is planned for Jack McCrillis and his fiancee Miss katherine Cooper Wood of Cambridge Mass. Miss Wood is a 1956 Wellesley graduate and holds a Masters in education from Boston University. She teaches at Perkins School for the Blind in Watertown, Mass. Tack is employed by the Old Colony Trust Co. in Boston. Louis de Rochemont of "Windjammer fame is scheduled to walk the aisle! The lucky girl is Miss Nicole Tetrault of Verdun Quebec. Miss Tetrault is an alumna of Marguerite Bourgeois College in Quebec.
The Department of State has announced the awarding of a United States Educational Exchange Grant to Jesse Morgan. Jesse is a member of the faculty at the Pingry School. He'll attend the summer seminar for teachers of history at the Institute of European Studies in Turin, Italy. He'll leave in June on the. SS Independence.
Bob Lord, minister of music at the Edgewood Congregational Church in New Haven, Conn., was guest artist in one of a special series of Lenten Services at Trinity Lutheran Church, also in New Haven. The theme of the series was "The Passion of Christ in the Fine Arts.
This column has attempted to give credit to men working on the College's current campaign because we think the campaign is important enough to all of us to talk about a little (without actually asking for dough) and because we think you'd like to know who in the class is doing what. After a little digging beaters
In the Manhattan effort you'd find men at report meetings like Ed Greenberger (IBM) attorney Ed Clark, Bud Sawyer (Madison Avenue advertising), Bob Ringstad (E. F. Hutton) Nels Ehinger (aluminum), Dave Dugan (CBS Radio), Guy LaBalme (LaBalme Enterprises) Ken Roman (Allied Chemical), All Collins (telephones), lawyers Tom Ford and Sid Schneck, Bill Fisher (teachers' insurance - Bill Just returned from three weeks of skiing in the Swiss and Austrian Alps - comment of the month - "becoming a wino and loving it."), John Rosenwald (stocks, bonds and jokes) and Harv Kelley, Howie Haas and Bert Diker. I sure wish the last three named would let me know what they are doing these days. The record is blank.
And from coast to coast the list is just as large. Out on Long Island dentist Les Commons and Burt Chabot rang doorbells. Ed Oberndorf (toilet seats), Cleveland; Tim Chapin and Pat Gramm (Great Lakes Carbon Corp.) were on the Chicago team; and in San Francisco Jack Bartlett (Ducomman Metals) and Pete Zischke were in the first stare of the campaign.
In Detroit '52's campaign representatives were Jim Flom (and like some of those listed above, Jim, I just don't know what you're doing) and Jon Walton (banking). Chev Haskell (IBM) and George Hibben (Polaroid) and Bob Brace (banking) were New England campaigners although Chev has since moved to Bingham ton, N. Y. There was a flock of 52s working in New Jersey including investment boys Pete McCreary, Ron Williams and Jack Unkles, Dr. Stan Kogan, Jim Binder (jewelry), lawyer Jack Crowell, newsletter editor and salesman Dick Watt and Bob Jahrling and Ken Heusinkveld. Could use some up-to-date information, Bob and Ken!
And that goes for upstate New York too! Communications must be unknown between points west in the Empire State and Hanover for Marty Cunningham, Larry Marken, Bob Griswold, Chuck Liddle and Yates Eckert were all campaign workers and my records for these gentlemen are blank as far as employment and family are concerned. Men it's time tell Wold (at least the world of that is).
Down in Wilmington, Del., Connecticut General insuranceman Charlie Curtis was another other class campaigner. I'm sure there were scores of others in parts of the nation not covered. I'll look for more. You let me know too.
Rog Malkin, Al Smith and Head Agent Rosenwald attended the Class Agents' dinner at the University Club in New York. You'll be hearing more about the '59 class agent program from E. John so I'll just second and yen, man his exhortations.
I did pick up two news items in between class agent talk. George and Maria Davis recently enjoyed a week's vacation in Bermuda - traveled by sea not air. The Davis' have a new son. Len Larrabee is studying law nights at Fordham. This plus two children plus legular working hours keeps Len really moving.
it's been fun visiting. I'll be looking forward to dropping in on your living room table next month too.
Among those attending the Capital Gifts Campaign meeting in Bridgeport, Conn., were (l to r) Jim Stead '54 and Jim Gentile '54, shown with Jim Broderick '45, area chairman.
