1955
Before the news, an announcement from our alter ego: the class newsletter is being exhumed under the poignant pen of C. Ormsbee Gale Jr. Chet plans to construct his missives around the comings and goings of a mythical classmate dubbed Lou Miano. Class news is also needed, and chit-chat and matters of internal class concern are good material, better for the newsletter than for this column. Send your communications to Chet, c/o Brand Rex Corp., 31 Sudbury Road, Concord, Mass. Fair warning: if no news, Chet threatens to "lecture on other subjects such as morals, ducking, etc. This," he admits, "would not be good." Chet, by the way, just recently shifted to Brand Rex (not to be confused with Brand X), where he's selling special cables to missile firms.
And now the news. Mai and Ricki Roth report the arrival of a son, Robert Allan, June 5. Mai completed his internship in New York last spring and now is embarked on residence training in ophthalmology at Bellevue Hospital, New York. He says he and his wife frequently see Don and Marge Aronson - Don's doing accounting work in New York City and New Jersey. Mai has also seen Matt and Sandy Smith, living in New York while Matt finishes internship and launches into a surgery residency, and Larry Pilchman, who's starting residence training in obstetrics and gynecology at Bellevue.
We're still graduating. In June Ev Borghesani received a sheepskin from the University of Pennsylvania Dental School, and WaltVan Dorn and Gale Roberson completed Harvard Law. Walt's with the law firm of Cummings & Lockwood in Stamford, Conn., and Gale, along with wife and young son, returned to Chicago to join Crowell and Leibman. Gale was senior editor of the Harvard Law School Yearbook.
Steve Wilson spent the summer on a threemonths cruise to northern Europe, sailing aboard the research vessel Chain. While on the cruise he was a research assistant to Dr. J. B. Hersey of the Woods Hole, Mass., Oceanographic Institute. Steve participated in hydrographic and seismic ocean bottom studies and assisted in the making of thermal profiles of the ocean, While in Europe he attended science meetings in both Helsinki and Stockholm.
Peripatetic Tom and Barbara Jaimuzi write from Mysore, India, that they're "moving continuously" and like it. They've been traveling in that country and East Africa, and will journey on in the coming year to Pakistan, Ceylon, Singapore, Malaya and Indonesia. Tom is a consultant for the Foundation for Youth and Student Affairs in India and East Africa and he's presently surveying training needs and programs in South Asia. He is visiting programs for young leaders in politics, education, rural development and urban development. "In East Africa, for instance," he says, "we worked closely with Julius Nyerere and Tom Mboya in arranging a special training course for trade union and political leaders. We also worked with the Social Development Department in Tanganyika on the same subject." Too bad Tom didn't corral Patrice Lumumba into some political training. In Tanganyika the Jannuzis lived in a bungalow looking out to Kilimanjaro and its perpetual snow cap. Tom says they'll stay in South Asia for another year or two, then home.
Several young ladies have joined the Class since our last report. In May Frank Ewing married Patricia Peeler in Columbia, S. C. She attended Stephens College and the University of South Carolina; Frank finished up at the University of New Mexico and is working in Phoenix.

Before we close, let's catch up with some summer wooing. Paul Finegan was engaged to Dorothy Courtney of Philadelphia and Goucher. Marty Friedman announced plans for an August wedding to Adele Bernstein, a Barnard graduate, but we haven't received confirmation. Adele also studied at the Juilliard School of Music, won a Fulbright for Paris, and this fall is starting graduate work in French at Yale as a Woodrow Wilson Fellow. Marty himself, not to be outdone, is lecturing in English at Columbia and in French at Fairleigh Dickinson University, and is a candidate for a doctorate in comparative literature at Yale.

Diane is a graduate of Syracuse and is a research assistant in bacteriology at Pfizer Therapeutic Institute. Julie works in New York for Music Corp. of America.
Another who kept things quiet until after reunion is Dick Hastings. He plans a December ceremony with June Pfeifle of Patchogue, Long Island, and Trinity College. She did graduate work at Columbia and now works in New York, where Dick is on the last lap at Cornell Medical School. December is also the month for Steve Wilson and Carolyn Day of Providence, a Colby graduate in '57. Carolyn is a medical secretary in Boston.
Keep us informed of your whereabouts, family additions, and all dazzling advancements up the free enterprise ladder. And don't forget Chet. Morals and ducking are better left to the DOC.
