1952

We begin our final year as class columnist with the world in an uproar, and although this is not an unusual situation for this world of ours the substitution of nuclear weapons for sabers in power bloc rattling has made this a most suspenseful Labor Day weekend. It's comforting, therefore, to welcome the football team back to Hanover and to sense the quickening pace of the College as the old school prepares for the youngsters of the Class of 1965. Convocation is just ahead now and we're sure John Dickey is also thinking about this critical world situation as he prepares his address to open the College year. We'll leave the reporting on that and the rest of the College news to the MAGAZINE staff and move on now to news of the class.

John Tucker and Miss Jean Herl Royster were married in Peoria, Ill., on July 1. The bride is a graduate of Bradley University. John's still in real estate work in Boston. The couple will reside in Newton, Mass. In St. Mary's Church in Little Falls, N. Y., the marriage of Charles Lyon and Miss Katherine Sidway Mulford was the big event of the day on July 8. George Pandaleon was best man. The bride is a graduate of Briarcliff. They'll live in Herkimer, N. Y., not too far from Mohawk and the Martin Reel Company where Charlie is vice president.

It will take this column months to catch up with the new babies, but we'll make a start now by reporting a fourth child, third boy, on June 8 for Jim and Martha Cooke; a first child, Laura Dean, for Angus andElizabeth Russell last November 11; a first child also for Tony and Dorothy Morse, Elis? Emerson, born on July 20 here in Hanover; a son, Thomas George, last November 18 for George and Elaine Littlehales; a third child, Janet Kay, on June 27 for the Charles Johnsons. Charlie reports he's now on Uncle Sam's payroll and at the U. S. Army Hospital in Carlisle Barracks, Pa. He'd like to get in touch with classmates in the Harrisburg area. While we're with the Army medics I'll report that Dr. HarryGoldsmith is now with Uncle Sam also and has just finished his military orientation course. His last civilian assignment was as a surgical resident at Boston City Hospital.

A first child, Daniel Ross, was born on May 21 to Dr. Dave and Jocelyn Baum out in Minnesota where Dave is completing a fellowship in pediatric cardiology at Mayo Clinic. In January he joins the faculty of the University of Washington Medical College as instructor in pediatrics and will be working in pediatric cardiology. Dr. Frank Mate hasn't entered the new child lists yet (his third is due Christmas Eve he reports), but he should be mentioned here for he has accepted a staff appointment to the faculty of the Georgetown University School of Medicine as an instructor in pediatrics and as assistant director of the "retardation clinic."
