1953

Have you The Three Essentials — in the mail? - I. A piece of paper with a big $5.00 on it plus your name and your bank's; 2. An envelope; and 3. A 4$ stamp - all going to the Class Coffers in the custody of Charlie Buchanan, 1404 Potato Point Rd., Appleton, Wis. He repeats: "Class Dues are DUE, GANG, let's fill the bowl up for a grand big tenth!"

The wedding book is opened to the page of Strickler-Jensen and it is noted that during December, Mitch Strickler and Karen Jensen of Fairport, N.Y., were married at the home of Karen's parents. They'll make their own home in New Haven where Mitch is attending the Yale Law School. Karen probably foresees short side trips to Smith, her alma mater, from this easy vantage point.

A red letter day in John Franklin's book was November 27, when he claimed Neshama Rosenbaum as his bride in New York City. After a New England honeymoon trip, they settled in New York, where John is employed by Standard and Poor Corporation.

Announcement has just been received of Steve Sanderson's engagement to Beatrice Paris of Westchester, N. Y. Once again the strength of that northern romance, known as the Colby-Dartmouth Pact, is joyously re-evi-denced in this engagement. Wah-Hoo-Wah!

Congratulations go out to Van Hatch who has just been admitted as a partner and member of the law firm of Hatch and Sculthorp in Marshall, Mich.

And now let's take a look at what some of the gang are doing "around the track" - a real wide range of activities. We travel first to New York and find Phil Beekman holds the position of Assistant to the Manager of Training and Development, Colgate-Palmolive Company; a quick, sports car journey over the Merritt and Wilbur Cross Parkways to Boston where we look up Paul Supovitz in the sales department at Keystone Camera Company and Dick Dudley with the architecture firm of Shipley, Bulfinch, Richardson and Abbott. And now before going out of the States we must pick up our passport in Washington, D. C., and while there we note John Cernius is busy as a field engineer for the Emerson Radio and Phonograph Corporation (and speaking of wave lengths, here's a guy who can tell you when the heat waves are coming this summer, Owen Cote, who is a research assistant and grad student in the Department of Meteorology at M.I.T. - so remember to check with him later as to when the best time on the Cape will be this summer).

Off to Florida, and there we'll see Sydney Gross using all the sales promotion tools available to the Sales Promotion Department of the L. M. Berry Company in Tampa, and Jim Howard engaged as the Secretary-Treasurer of the Howard Feed Mills in Jacksonville. A short hop down to Balboa in the Canal Zone, and whom should we bump into but Pete Bridges who is associated with the American Embassy there. Then while back in New York briefly, before our trip to Hawaii, we are on lower Broadway and we drop in on John McGuire at 85 Broadway, with the law firm of Lord, Day and Lord. The land of leis and pineapples beckons now, and as we land in Honolulu, Hawaii we are met by Dr. Tom McBride who says: "Since the completion of my post-grad training at the University of Rochester Medical Center, I have entered the Heart Disease Control Program of the U.S. Public Health Service and am now directing a survey of arteriosclerotic heart disease in the new state of Ha- waii."

Once back in the States, we pause for a "Hi" to Dr. John Camp who is a Fellow in Roentgenology at the Mayo Foundation in Rochester, Minn.; then on to Detroit where we noted that students at Detroit's own Wayne State University were getting their basic American history instruction from Allen Davis, who Dave Florence hopes uses a Royal typewriter on which to type his notes, since Dave is now Assistant Sales Manager for the Royal Mcßee Corporation in Port Chester, N. Y. The final swing back East gives us the opportunity to look in on Jim Wheaton, who is an electrical engineer with Anaconda Wire and Cable Company in Hastings, N. Y., and Ed Fowler, who is an agent for the Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Company in Philadelphia, and Dan Webster, ready, as Make-up Editor, to go to press with the Quincy Patriot Ledger in Quincy, Mass.

Trips are fun, whether real or imaginary so let's hear where you've been and who you've seen.

Secretary 1050 Parker, Detroit 14, Mich.
