1954

Okay, chaps, let's forget the primaries and the ball scores and plan next month's trip to Hanover. The income tax had better be paid by now, so you've got plenty of cash ... after you pay the car insurance, sneak in this month's payment of the house and auto, and buy the kids' summer clothes. Forget about Kennedy, Humph, Stu, and the other Beatnixons; haul out your Aegis (the Green Book fotos would frighten you) and check over some important names — those fantastic 'Fifty-fours.

While you're doing that we'll be giving you the run-down on a few souls you're likely to see next month. There's Geoff and Jeanne Talbot, just back from several months' study in London and finishing up at Tufts Med School; John and Joan Crowe and children Jeffrey, Betsy, and Bobby, who are living in Jamaica Plain, Mass., while the Doctor is at Boston's Peter Bent Brigham Hospital as a surgical resident. Dr. Don Brief is there, too.

From New York there's Tom Clarke, an accountant at Arthur Young & Co. in New York City; and Jos Pritchard, who is insurance underwriting in the City. In New Hyde Park, L. I., Marty Siegel is interning at the Long Island Jewish Hospital. With the marine division of Grumman Aircraft Engineering Co. in Bethpage, N. Y„ is engineer Charlie Dorries. Jay Davis is assistant to the marketing manager with F. W. Dodge Corp. in New York City, and Peter Dwight, cost engineer for Turner Construction Co., in Philadelphia, Pa.

You may see Harvard grad students NormKasparson, Pete Roos and Jim Tofias, or possibly Bill Pitney, an official of The William Pitney Co., Inc. of Boston, Mass. Then there is Pete Geithner, sporting a bit of a British accent, after a two-week business trip in the United Kingdom for Columbian Carbon International of New York City. You'll recognize your correspondent, appropriately attired in pin stripe suit, bowler hat, and umbrella for his Washington assignment with the Foreign Service.

You will certainly see through the disguise of cloak and dagger man Al Tirrell, who is a communications analyst for the National Security Agency at Fort George Meade, Md.; and there's a chance you'll encounter BobDelaney, an adjuster for Travelers Insurance Co., in Canton, Conn.; and Paul Dabney, who is doing social work in New York City. The Brookings Institute's Jim Doig, who is doing government research in Washington, D. C„ might be there as might Dean Hildebrandt, who recently joined the industrial engineering staff, as systems and procedures engineer, for the J. T. Baker Chemical Company in Phillipsburg, N. J.

Then there's Bob Gilman, a University of Michigan Ph.D., who toils at Clarksville, Md., in the research division of W. R. Grace & Co. of New York, and bank assistant vicepresident Bob Jeffrey. Bob's in the counting house of the First Seneca Bank and Trust Company of Philadelphia. Bob Boyd has been named sales representative for Ansbacher-Siegle Corporation, division of Sun Chemical Corp. of Philadelphia.

You might get caught in the range finder of the Polaroid Corporation's staff photographer Nick Dean of Cambridge, Mass. Nick recently placed six photographs in "The Sense of Abstraction," an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York City, demonstrating a major trend in contemporary photography.

Distance may interpose some restrictions but there is always the possibility that you'll encounter or at least hear of Dick Danforth, who is now in the Department of City Planning in The City Hall at Salinas, Calif.; or actor John Cunningham, currently on tour with The National Co. in "My Fair Lady." Then there's Hsung-Cheng Hsieh, who is in the department of electrical engineering at the University of Wichita, Kan.; Bob Mollenauer at Indiana University, Bloomington, Ind.; and Bare Jameson, a reporter on The Kansas City Star.

In Seattle, Wash., is Clark-Coleman & Associates planner Don Wagner; and in Chicago, Ill., is Moretrench Corp.'s sales engineer Larry Kelley. Harvard biz school grad Chuck Reed and wife Roberta (Smith), a Smithie whom he married in June 1957, are living in La Puente, Calif., where Chuck is an office manager for Longview Fibre Company, manufacturers of corrugated boxes and paper products.

Don't forget Bob Flood, assistant superintendent at the Detroit Marine Terminals, Inc., in Michigan; Skip Grinton, a lawyer in Joliet, Ill.; or Dick Miller, sales engineer for Motorola C & E, Inc. in Denver, Colo. Or Dr. John Renner at the Herndon Medical Center, Herndon, Va.; Jim Newcombe, sales promotion manager at the Brown Shoe Co. in Manchester, Mo.; John Schreiber, sales analyst at W. P. Fuller & Co. in San Francisco, Calif.; or Paul Tibbetts, engineer for the Maine State Highway Commission, Camden, Me.

There are a few of the tribe who will be bringing company. Dick Rogin, reporter with the New York World-Telegram and Sun, will be accompanied by bride Anne Adler, a Wellesleyite from New York City. The Rogins were married in February. Herm Siqueland will lead the wife, the former Brenda Bentz of Piqua, Ohio and the University of Michigan. Don Swanson, an S M U law student, will have bride of February 13, Nancy Lou Mock, in the sidecar. The Swannies were wedded in Dallas.

Really handicapped will be the bottle and rattle bearers. Witness Frank Weiser, Doctor at the Cornell Medical Center in New York City, and wife Myra with their second girl, Lynn Debra, born March 12; and Jon and Katie Moore who increased their household by the size of one baby daughter, Joan Brooke, bom March 24 in Washington, D. C.

Potentially threatened are the future-weds among whom are the recently engaged Brad Bordon and Judith Anderson of Barrington. R. I. and Centenary College, who were betrothed in February. Brad is with the Gen- eral Radio Co. in Concord, Mass. The grand old man of the Olympic ski squad, Tom Corcoran, fell for Mary Jo Litchard of Longmeadow, Mass. They were engaged in February. Yngvar Hvistendahl, associated with the Yngvar-Hvistendahl Shipping Co. of Tonsberg, Norway, is also associated now with Katherine Karnosh of Shaper Heights, Ohio and Smith College. Their engagement was announced in February. Tom Nixon and Joan Craugh of Dallas, Texas and Skidmore announced in January their plans to wed this month.

See you next month when it's "FIFTYFOUR OUT!!" for the Class reunion in Hanover.
