1925

En route to the North Country the day after reading Herb Talbot's dissertation in The Roundup on the charms of England, I could not help but think how wonderful it would be if I could exercise the same mastery of words which his productions manifest to describe the peaceful beauty of God's earth under a blanket of snow, the delight that comes from driving through a gentle fall of crystals over a road covered with the light stuff with sufficient depth to soften the sound of whirling wheels, the joy that comes from standing on skis at the top of a mountain, breathing nature's fresh air and absorbing the sights of the far-flung countryside with its snow-capped hills and snow-laden trees, and finally swooshing down a trail with an exhilaration born of muscular rhythm and the satisfaction of accomplishment free from the fetters of urban influences. As Parker Merrow probably would write - wish you could'a been there.

Bob Misch apparently is one of the many who have been flabbergasted by the news that coeds will be admitted to the proposed fourth term in the summer of 1961. This invasion of an all-male stronghold is viewed with alarm by some who hold to the theory that it is the opening wedge for an ultimate co-educational institution throughout the year. But assurance has been given by those who should know that this is not the case and Dartmouth will continue to be a man's college.

From England comes word penned by Alice, wife of Paul Pearson, on their current doings:

A slight mistake was made in the class notes a few months back concerning the school where Paul is teaching in England this year. Paul is a Fulbright Exchange teacher at the Rossall School, located in Fleetwood, Lancashire, England. Rossall is considered the outstanding public school in northern England.

Before school began we had a month's holiday in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Our fourand-a-half-week Christmas holiday was spent principally in Italy and France. During our Easter holidays we are planning to spend the month of April in Greece. We hope to spend another month in Scandinavia before returning home on the "S.S. Statendam" on August 31, 1960.

This year in England, under a Fulbright Exchange, has afforded us many opportunities for travel, and has given us a much clearer picture of the British educational system, particularly as it pertains to the English public (independent) schools.

Paul is head of the history department at the Boston Latin School.

John W. Livermore of Pittsfield has beenappointed purchasing agent for the distribution transformer department of General Electric Co. John joined GE at Schenectady in1928, went to Pittsfield in 1947, was namedmanager of employee relations in 1952, andsince 1958 has been on a special assignmentconducting an organizational review of thedepartment. His civic activities have includedchairmanship of the Community Chest driveand a drive for the Citizens' ScholarshipFoundation of Pittsfield.

Only one classmate is reported as having moved recently. Karl King now resides at 571 Pleasant Ave., Highland Park, Ill.

Prof, and Mrs. Stowell C. Goding recently announced the engagement of their daughter Elizabeth to Mr. Klaus Werner Flach of Kolbermoor, Bavaria, who graduated from the University of Munich and received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Cornell. Elizabeth herself graduated from the University of Massachusetts and received her M.A. degree from Trinity College and Ph.D. degree from the University of North Carolina.

Frank Wallis frequently has enjoyed basking in the limelight of news. Now it's the turn of his spouse, Ellie, whose activities as a "lady of charity" were recently publicized in a feature newspaper article. "For 55 years, men have served as president of the North Shore Babies' and Children's Hospital," the article read, "but now, in its most important year, it is a woman, Mrs. Wallis, who is supervising the erection of its new headquarters, a million dollar 48-bed hospital." Ellie was pictured in the article pointing to the unit on a blue print which will accommodate mothers wishing to spend the night by the side of their sick babies.

Larry Leavitt reports having run into George Scott in the Ad. Bldg., advancing the conjecture that he was probably lining up seniors to work for Gulf Oil. At the same time he enclosed a clipping on the engagement of George H. Cassels-Smith '55, son of our own George R., of Baltimore to Miss Jeremy Ada Brown of Chesterton, Md.

We're indebted to Deak Blodgett for an article on Eddie Blake's three boys who are covering themselves "with scholastic and athletic honors in their prep school and college careers." Jonathan, 21, a Yale senior, has won a Rhodes Scholarship for two years study at Oxford. His running (after the form of his Dad) earned him a Big Three two-mile championship. David, 19, our own Daniel Webster Scholar, a junior at Hanover, in addition to being president of Green Key, was named all-New England fullback for his feats in the soccer field. Peter, 17, a senior at Deerfield Academy, has won a Morehead Scholarship a four-year award — to the University of North Carolina. What a familyl
