1955

Remembering that basic economic law - "nothing succeeds like success" - learned a decade ago in Eccy 1, several '55s are forging proudly ahead in various fields. BobWool, editor-in-chief of the very successful Show magazine, has been draped with the additional title of associate publisher. Bob's lavish publication, which was launched last year in a widely-heralded competition with another new magazine, Show Business Illustrated, this year lured away SBI's editorial director, advertising manager and executive editor. The word is that Bob is now after their linotype operators.

Roy Pfeil was promoted to brand manager of Procter and Gamble's Comet cleanser; he's responsible for all Comet marketing activities. Roy has been with P & G since 1959, when he graduated from Harvard Business School. Jack Hodgson is still capitalizing on that Ford Foundation foreign area training fellowship he won before graduation. He delayed accepting the three-year grant until after a year in Finland on a Fulbright scholarship, then he interrupted his three years at Harvard with two years in the Air Force, resuming the Ford studies in 1960. Last year he put more Ford in his future by gaining a one-year extension of the grant, and our learned classmate is now back in Finland studying the Finnish Communist Party. Not bad considering Jack finished no higher than number two in the class.

Al Schwartz is now chief resident in neurology at Lemuel Shattuck Hospital, which he describes as "a daughter service of Massachusetts General Hospital Neurology Department."

Charlie Hulsebosch, in budgeting and financial analysis for Renault, Inc., has traveled from his New York office to San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Dallas, and "with any luck" may need to visit the factory in Paris. Dick Ames is a Navy doctor at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; for several days last fall he was part of a medical team which treated injured and sick after Hurricane Hattie hit Belize, Honduras.

Wedding bells are still breaking up the old gang, or perhaps by now the few remaining bachelors are finding there's no gang left and are succumbing gracefully. At any rate, here's the bell's toll: Dave Heegard married Joanne Parsons, January 20; he's with Minneapolis Honeywell in Hopkins, Minn. Neil MacNeill wed Eleanor Brunswick of Queens, N. Y., a former secretary in his office, October 28 in Woodside, Long Island; last year Neil shifted from International General Electric to the post of division statistician in GE's Chemical and Metallurgical Division in Bridgeport, Conn.

Dr. Jack Bryan married Helene Sköld of Stockholm, Sweden, December 9 in Princeton, Jack's home town. Helene graduated from the Royal Dental College of Stockholm. Jack is a surgery resident at Mary Hitchcock. Two other '55 doctors, Nick Anthonisen and Bill DeCesare, were ushers; Bill is also a resident (internal medicine) at Mary Hitchcock, and is due to enter the Army this summer.

Joel Kennedy set up dentistry practice last fall in Talcottville, Conn., after graduating from Harvard Dental School in June. Zsoltde Papp is an Army doctor in Frankfurt, Germany. Al Andersen, a lieutenant at Chennault Air Force Base in Lake Charles, La., became engaged to Nancy Lee Meissner of Jennings, La., and Louisiana Tech. HartPerry lost some sleep" this winter as college acceptance dates rolled around for the first Perry-counseled graduating class at Kent School in Kent, Conn.; Hart hopes to start graduate work this summer.

Don Hummel is an officer of the Northern Trust Co. in Chicago and travels in Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. EdChapman is New York Telephone Co. manager at Hudson, N. Y., and reports seeing Jerry Samuelson and Ron Aronowitz last summer at the Saratoga Raceway - Ron was also a customer, but Jerry was raking in the pari-mutuel money. Joel and JoanneShapiro toured nine European countries last summer; he's a New York City CPA.

Wee ones: Ken and Virginia Harvey had their third, David Kenneth, November 22; Ken covers Boston and the surrounding area as a salesman for E. B. Harvey and Associates, manufacturers' reps for automotive parts, and he chatted with Roy Hill and Kilt and Carol Andrew when Sky visited Boston in December on vacation from Colgate-Palmolive in Guatemala.
