1952

Highlights of the Hanover summer: steel supports for the Hopkins Center, new dorms and math-pysch building pushed upward and locals were amazed at how quiet Hanover could be without the pile-driver around; Doc Dey arrived in Hanover to set up shop in the assistant dean's office; Frank Logan and his admissions crew moved from Parkhurst into a small palace over near Thayer Hall; another art show (local talent) in the nifty downstairs eatery of Rog Eastman's drug emporium.

But, alas, summer has passed all too quickly. Storrs Pond is now the size of a large mud puddle and Blackman has his gridiron hopefuls digging up the Chase Field turf. Soon the bright-eyed, pinkcheeked freshmen will arrive, and after them the worldly sophisticates we knew as brighteyed, pink-cheeked freshmen last year will make their appearance on the Hanover scene. Another academic year begins - and along with it another series of good solid news about good solid people, the '52 family (accompanied by the sound of trumpets).

And so to the newscolumns: first the additions to the family - a boy, John Leslie, for Les and Betsy Commons on April 13; a girl, Anne Llewellyn, for Bill and Dickie Thomas on May 21; a girl, Martha Elizabeth, for Bob and Martha Lord on April 30; a boy, Timothy Allen, for Rev. Ed and Linda Sumner on March 29; a boy, Timothy Velte, on March 18, for Connie and Lois Carstens.

Connie, I'll report now in an attempt to keep this column from being too confusing, joined G. M. Basford Co. on February 15 as a publicity account executive on industrial public relations. A holder of an M.S. from Columbia Journalism, Connie was previously with Interchemical Corp. He and Lois have an older son, Chris, 3.

Additions from the confetti trail: on May 14 Angus Russell and Elisabeth Waterworth (Smith '59) were married in Bryn Mawr, Pa. Frank Osgood, Gene Klenk, Roy Abbott and John Knox represented the Class at the occasion. Tony (Stearns Anthony) Morse and Dorothy Garrett Forbes (Vassar) were wed on June 25 in the Federated Church of Sanborn, Mass. Dartmouth Tucker Foundation Dean Fred Berthold '45 performed the ceremony. Also scheduled for June 25 was the wedding of Tom Loemker and Marion Whelchel (Alabama College). Tom is with the Stamford, Conn., office of Pitney-Bowes, Inc.

Another Stamford '52 who joined the ranks of the married this summer is RogMalkin. He was wed to Carmel Adler (Barnard) in Asheville, N. C., on July 9. Rog is with Norman-Hoffman Bearings Corp. in Stamford. An August wedding ceremony in Detroit was set for Lou Rome and Winifred Ledger (University of Michigan). Lou's bride is a teacher while Lou is director of Juvenile Court Services for Washtenaw County. On July 16 in Cleveland Norm Jeavons and Kathleen Taze (Wellesley) were married in the Plymouth Church. Norm holds a law degree from the Western Reserve University Law School.

Two pairs of '52 newlyweds left for overseas assignments this past summer. Ed andMary Malonis, married in April in Lynn, Mass., sailed on the Independence for Milan, Italy, where Ed will be with the Foreign Service Office of the Department of State. John and Brigid Ballard were scheduled to leave in August for more than a year's study (for John) in French Equatorial Africa on a Ford Foundation Research Fellowship concentrating on the development of political parties there. Considering the present state of affairs in Africa, this would appear to be an especially meaningful assignment. The Ballards were married in May in Wellesley.

Dean Kutchera began work with Young and Rubicam in New York this past month. Pete Stanley was shifted from Rhode Island to Boston by the New England Telephone Company. Dr. Bill Fletcher is now at the University of Oregon Medical School as senior resident in surgery. Another class M.D.. Greg Peterson, has received the Dr. Joseph F. McCarthy Award of the Western Section of the American Urological Association for the most significant research submitted to the Western Section this year. His winning essay summarized two and one half years of personal clinical research in the field of urology. Dwight Jacobsen earned his M.D. from the University of Rochester and now begins surgical internship at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester.

Jack Mykrantz is supervisor of management services for Monsanto Chemical. He and Barbara have three children, Lisa, 6; Peter, 3, and Andrea, 2. Now living in Sudbury, Mass., Al Reich, who holds an M.B.A. from Harvard Business and a diploma from Oxford, is a supervisor for Polaroid. The newest addition to the Reich household, Andrew, will be one this November. Al and Gay have two other boys, James and Jeffrey.

This wouldn't be my annual October column without a mention of Detroit Tigers' hurler Pete Burnside. He's had a fine year to date, seven won-seven lost, at this writing. I saw him pitch an inning in relief in Boston — he put down Malzone, Williams and Wertz in order. That's not too bad!!

How about sending along your news?
