1957

What a year this is with Roger Maris hitting 61, the UN in a turmoil, hurricanes racing up and down the coasts, and this class full of changes. Some of the changes pending have a forewarning in the large number of engagements announced during the year. Among the classmates approaching the altar are Stan Knipe who is being married to Miss Meredith Hansen, a graduate of Mary Washington College. Pete Wardle and Miss Jody Silverthorne of San Francisco, a graduate of Connecticut College for Women, have announced their engagement. In Des Moines, lowa, the Rev. Bruce Barrabee and Miss Sharon Swanson are planning to be married. Miss Alison Ferrara and Red Chase have announced their engagement. Red has departed the life of a roving salt and has settled into one of the deep leather chairs of the banking business. GeorgeSouthwick and Miss Ann Haffenreffer were married on September 30. Dick Mann and Miss Lois Henderson are planning to be married. Dick has completed Tuck and a tour of duty in the Navy and is now working for Buckley and Mann, in Boston.

Jack Spring and Miss Julie Du Bois were married in California and will live in San Francisco. Tim Robinson and Miss Jane Wrightsman were married in June. Tim and his new wife live in Fair Lawn, N.

Bob completed his medical training at McGill and is now among the legions of the Naval Medical staff at New London, Conn. Dave Canfield and Miss Virginia Resor were married in Noroton, Conn. Dave completed a tour in the Army and is now with the brokerage house of Fahnestock and Co. and also a resident of the great Wall Street City.

Charlie Schneider and Miss Jane Merovick were married during the summer. Charlie is with a Union Carbide subsidiary and the Schneiders had planned to live in New Haven. However, the day they returned from their honeymoon Charlie was notified that he was to report to an office in San Francisco. I understand happily that after a wild time of living out of the suitcase things have settled to a somewhat more calm state of affairs.

Sondra Ford and Don Swift were married in Washington, D. C., and are now living in Chapel Hill, N. C., where Don is completing his doctorate degree. In June, Miss Diane Shugrue was married to Dr. Bill Gallagher.

Twenty Wyeth fellowships are awarded annually. Nick served his internship at Denver General and Colorado General Hospitals and will take his residency at Colorado.

I, in the past, reported somewhat casually, the fact that such and such member of the class was a father for the first, second, etc. time. Well, on Sept. 14, Hope had a baby girl whom we named Karen. From that day (incidentally which is our wedding anniversary and a day on which I won a full set of golf clubs) I stand in full awe of those who have successfully passed over this sleepless road before me. Therefore, I will commiserate with Bud and Ann Wheeler who had their second boy, David, early this year. At the time of the birth Bud was with the 78th USAF Hospital, Hamilton AFB, Calif. Also part of the new Late Show are Ginny and Dick Vaules who produced the star of the Show, 6 lb. George. To even things up Steveand Barbara Hibbs came along with an 8 lb. girl, Linda Jean who arrived last fall. My apologies for announcing this so late but the telegraph wires from Buffalo, where Steve is teaching English at the Nichols School, are round-about.

It's been a pleasure chatting with you folks this month. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and I'll be looking forward to our sociable around Christmas time. Best - Father Skip.
