1952

Mud!

With that one word description of the Hanover scene this first week in April we swing right into the 1952 news. First a flash from the State Department: Ed Malonis, economist and foreign service officer, and Mary Huggins are scheduled for an April 23 wedding date. Ed's due for an assignment in Milan, Italy.

A month earlier, March 23, Bob and Nancy Jane Foley were wed as announced earlier in this column. Still on the marriage beat, the engagement of Jack Bethel and Miss Joyce Libbert of Newark, N. Y., was announced in February. Jack's with the Home Insurance Company in New Haven, Conn.

Bachelor days may be gone for Ed and Bob — and Jack soon - but it's amazing to see how many holdouts there are in the class. For those of you with old maid sisters or matchmaking wives, the next seventeen gentlemen are "eligibles."

Ralph Polley is a physicist with the Navy Underwater Sound Laboratory in New London, Conn. Bob "Froggie" Williams holds out down in the Big Town where he's a methods analyst with Royal-Globe Insurance Group. For the type that goes for bachelor architects, there's Hank Woerner with Samuel Glasser Associates in Boston. GeorgeSkillman's been up at McGill University in Canada since last September as an editor-researcher in Arctic meteorology.

For one that likes children there's LouRome, newly appointed director of juvenile court services for the. Washteneu County (Mich.) Juvenile Court. Randy Nubel left the University of Texas unwed for a new job with CIBA Pharmaceutical Products, Inc., in New Jersey. He's package design-production manager. George Gibson's a newly-named partner with Hughes and Dorsey law firm in Denver.

Cy Crowther's with Republic Steel Corporation in accounting responsibilities. Bill Allen rates an assistant manager title at the A. T. Allen and Sons outfit in New Jersey. He retails hardware and feed. Dr. Ed Futterman is a resident in psychiatry, specializing in child psychiatry, at the Judge Baker Guidance Center in Boston. Ed, you and Lou Rome should start up a correspondence.

Pat Harris is chief agent for American Airlines, supervising reservations sales agents. John Barto (I saw John at the Boston Alumni Fund dinner) is a lawyer with Orr and Reno in Concord, N. H. George Storck coaches football at Penn Military College. John Klein sells life insurance for New England Mutual Life and holds forth also as treasurer of the Dartmouth Club of Cleveland.

Harv Kelley's assistant production manager for Commercial Union-North British Group. Norm Logan's with Raytheon's missile systems division as a manager for systems and procedures while . Bev Walden supports himself with his talents as an artist. There you have them - and there are more too all handsome, single and prosperous.

Now that we've wrapped the bachelors up in a nice neat package, let's get on to some of the doings of the married folks. Out on the coast Nick and Dorothy Skylor live in the San Francisco area where Nick is an IBM section supervisor with Pacific Tel. and Tel. He's also treasurer of the Northern California Alumni Association. We do like to handle money, don't we?

George Sverdrup, touring the United States for the Norwegian brewing company he represents, stopped in here on Balch Hill with Rog Malkin a week or so ago. George is assistant sales manager for the Frydenlund Company and he and his wife Eva enjoy their life in Oslo - especially the sailing. Short news flash: Bob Binswanger recently lectured on "Soviet Education" before the Mary Mattoon Chapter, DAR, Springfield, Mass.

Dr. Ely Wagshul is with the Manhattan V.A. Hospital. He and Sondra were wed last September. Bob Porges is another New York City medico - he's chief resident in obstetrics and gynecology at Mt. Sinai Hospital. He and wife Sarah will go on active duty with the Air Force this summer. Buck Linman is partner and secretary-treasurer of the Wayzata (Minn.) Sheet Metal and "Something" Company, Inc. (Buck's writing got smaller and smaller so I can't give him a complete plug) but he's also on the board of directors of the Wayzata Chamber of Commerce. Pete and Betsy Guenther are "down-Granite Staters" where Pete's practicing law with McLane, Carleton, Graf, Greene and Browne in Manchester.

The Fran Frellicks became parents to a son February 2 and named him Paul Arthur. Reverend Fran also reports that he will become associate executive secretary for the Evansville, Ind., Council of Churches about May 1. He'll be trying to help others work with delinquent and potentially delinquent children.

While down officiating at the last indoor meet (my event: broad jump) I had the pleasant chance to see Gil Noble. Gil, principal of Rochester High School over in Vermont, had some of his kids over for the day. Gil has a Master's from Columbia and he and wife Barbara have two children, Thomas and Gail. Two other '52 educators who come quickly to mind are Dave Blampied and Paul Sanderson. Dave's an assistant professor at Cornell. He and Eloise have three children, David, Peter and recently born Elizabeth. Dave has both M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Paul's a triple threat man at Suffield Academy as director of admissions, teacher and coach. He and Gail also have three children, David, Paul Ill, and Katherine. Paul's involved in many community and professional organizations.

To make this column as legal as can be I've decided to end on a legal note (or two) starting with news on Bill Hovey, who along with Jock McClintock, is associated with Withington, Cross, Park and McCann in Beantown. Bill and Bev have two little Hoveys, Susan and Cynthia. Howie and BarbaraWhitaker live on Long Island within commuting distance of Howie's law firm, Mitchell, Persching, Shetterly and Mitchell. They too have two, Howard III and Corwin (a daughter). Lee and Leah Coulter became parents for the first time in November with the arrival of Sally Ann on the 28th. Lee's associated with the firm of Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher in Los Angeles.

Dan Van Dorn is a law student at Columbia. He was formerly with Dixon Crucible Company. He and Julie have one child, Margaret. Out Chicago way there's another '52 barrister, name of Win Craven, and he's with the firm of Dallstream, Schiff, Hardin, Waite and Dorschel. I wonder how the receptionist gets that one out. Win also finds time for skiing, sailing, investments, gardening, and his family, wife Patricia and children, Winfield and Leslie Ann. The order of activities reflects only my notes and not Win's or my order of importance.

With that it's sign off time for your secretary, an associate in that on-going firm of Wheelock, Webster, Lord, Tucker, Hopkins and Dickey. A fine firm name but somewhere along the line they shortened it to Dartmouth. I think it'll stick.

Secretary, 5 South Park St., Hanover, N. H.

Class Agent, 1435 Lexington Ave., New York 28, N. Y.
