1952
They put the Carnival out across the nation on TV. For two days, it seemed that every nine or ten-year-old boy in town was out waving and chasing after the television truck. It even intrigued the adults - but we weren't as fast as the nine-year-olds.
They caught the highlights. In fact, I saw more of the skiing competition on TV Sunday afternoon than I have in the past three years living here plus the undergrad years. I was also happy to see the fraternity snow sculptures on the big grey eye, for by the time I took my gals around to see them the light rain and the heavy partying had taken their toll.
But the TV cameras didn't get everything. It was a shame to miss filming those sweet young things who tripped lightly across the Hanover snow, ice and puddles in ballet slippers or sneakers. And the remarks about the size of the center of campus statute - "the Swiss gnome," etc.— from student and town resident alike! One wit was heard complaining about admission policies, too many top scholars and great athletes and too few slush throwers. Oh well, it's a small College with dreams of big snow statues.
Before getting away from the oldest and coldest carnival in old collegedom and into my limited class news section, I also wish to report that the Glee Club once again sang the three Robert Frost poems which our Frank Logan put to music. The skill of the Zellermen (I'll bet Paul never heard his Radio City boys described this way before) and the talents of Mr. Frost and Mr. Logan were a winning combination.
At the danger of having this appear to be a medical association bulletin let me plunge into the world of pains, pulses and prescriptions. New York appears to be an attraction to the M.D.s, for Joe Dobos, Si Grolnick and Dick Braunstein are all big towners now.
Joe left the First Marine Aircraft Wing for Roosevelt Hospital. Si also had a San Francisco APO address before trading naval officer rank for just plain "doc." Dick was at Travis Air Force Base prior to the New York "assignment."
Dr. Arnie Muller appears to have gone in the opposite direction. He's now a captain! And stationed in Birmingham, Ala. Dr. Sum Moulton, who left the service recently, is at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn, N. Y. Dr. Al Elkins can be found at the Institute of Living in Hartford, Conn. He was out in Indianapolis before coming East to work at Living. Small "1" or large, this can be work.
Dr. Dick Rosen is now at Massachusetts Memorial Hospital (in Boston), a long jump from Stanford University Hospital. Reminds me that Dr. Bob Millhouse is about due to leave the service in Florida and head back for a pediatric practice outside of Los Angeles. Haven't heard from him but I was mentioning this to Dr. George Johnson, a resident at Mary Hitchcock here, the other niht so I thought as long as I had gone wild medically this month I might as well go all the way.
My faithful correspondent Fran Chisdes reports that he and Carol are leaving lowa for New Jersey where Fran will work at teaching Latin to high school students and Carol will continue her studies at Columbia. Another '52 teacher, Dick Gagne, has moved from Brewster Academy to Lawrence Academy in Groton, Mass.
One of our fine members of the Boston Bar Association, one Robert A. Barton to be legally precise, has been appointed as an assistant to newly-named District Attorney John J. Droney.
An April wedding is planned for Walt Gram and Miss Annemie Hoffman of Waukesha, Wis. The bride-elect is a graduate of Northwestern University.
February 27 is the date for Jack Boyle. At noon on that fateful day he will wed (by the time you read this it will be "he wed") Dolores Summa, Syracuse University alumna. The marriage will take place at St. Patrick's Church in Watertown, N. Y. Bob Binswanger and Bill Fisher will be ushers. Dodie has been working about a year out in Columbus, Ohio, where they met.
In addition to marriage, another big step for Jack will be in selling his business in Columbus and starting something larger in Connecticut. He will continue in the same line of endeavor, selling fork lift trucks and allied materials handling equipment in Connecticut. The office will be in New Haven and the newly-weds will live in Milford.
Don MacLeod is going to do okay in the finance game. He and Pat became parents of a little miss named Heather Anne on December 30. How about that for outfoxing the Internal Revenue Service? Don's with Eastman Dillon in New Haven.
And across the hills in Vermont Bid and Ruth Guild also had a girl child and also named her Heather. Heather Louise Guild was born on January 12. Bid's a legal expert with National Life Insurance Company in Montpelier.
Congratulations to the MacLeods and the Guilds. But please, when the Heathers are college-age and coming to Carnival, tell them to bring boots to put over the ballet slippers.
