1954

Messenger: "My lord, here are letters for you."

Hotspur: "I cannot read them now. O gentlemen, the time of life is very short!"

FIRST PART KING HENRY IV

I agree with Hotspur that it is very short, but, O gentlemen, I can read them now if I but had them. After plugging along happily at this job with ample news, it is rather upsetting to have almost nothing come in for a month. Please let me know of any promotions, change in position, marriage, new children et al., for the records, and answer Jim Fisher's questionnaire with a long letter.

Now, to the news... .

A couple of columns ago we reported Jack Tuck was back in Antarctica with the University of Michigan Ross Ice Traverse Party. Now word comes that another Fifty-four, Navy Doctor Phil Swartz, left in December for a year as the general medic for "Operation Deepfreeze" at the Navy's South Pole Station. Phil has been communicating with his wife Catherine in sunny Napa, Calif., via ham radio operator. Perhaps Phil and Jack can get together in what would have to be a unique Fifty-four rendezvous.

In West Hempstead, N. Y., Al Sullivan was recently promoted to actuarial assistant with the New York Life Insurance Company.

Barry Cox is a pilot with the Helicopter Air Lift division of Butler Aviation in Chicago, and George Csiky has recently taken a position as product planner with Bobby Brooks Inc. in Cleveland.

J., we hear that Counselor Bill Walls is a law associate with Herbert Kiosk.

The Clarke sisters of Marblehead, Mass., are dominating the columns of Fifty-four. Last month the wedding of Marjorie Clarke and Giff Wigglesworth was mentioned, and this month we are happy to report that Marjorie's sister Kimball Clarke married Bill Brooks on December 10. Gift was best man and Mrs. Wigglesworth was the matron of honor. Bill is in the lumber business in Providence, R. I. Also back in December, Dave Lewin married the former Sally Lee Traub in Louisville, Ky. After a wedding trip to Nassau, the Lewins settled in Cincinnati, where Dave works with H. A. Seinsheimer Co., a clothing manufacturer. In San Francisco, on January 21, the former Jane Anderson, sister of Forrest Anderson '53, married Dick Armstrong. They are settled in Palo Alto and Dick is working in the Bay Area, having recently completed a Master's in business at the University of California.

We have just received word of an addition to the family of George and Lois Grayboys, a daughter, Angela Susan. The Grayboys see several Fifty-fours around Providence, where George is an attorney. Long after the fact we hear that Audrey and Pete Gutlon entertained the Grayboys, Ed and Mary Lou Winnick, and Shelly and Betty Ann Woolf, among other Green, 'after the Dartmouth-Brown game.

I will try to end this on an especially happy note. This is the time for second term examinations - for undergraduates in Hanover.
