1957

Dear Gang - the Alumni Fund time also provides a wonderful opportunity for a junior reunion among people who don't get a chance to say hello at other times during the year. I had a chance to correspond with Bill Muldoon. Bill is in that paradise, the Virgin Islands, where he is working for the Virgin Islands Printing Corporation. He is all for having visitors come to the south but he has this caution for those who plan to stay, "At present, the house I am building is in its embryonic stages, and we are renting an apartment to keep out of the rain. I feel like a sharecropper, living in two rooms with Nancy and an eight-weeks-old baby. Houses down here are at a premium, that is to say, unavailable; and apartments are also scarce and very expensive. This is why the permanent resident should contemplate building. Land is quite expensive, but at least it provides a fantastic economic investment. This is truly a frontier, with all the good and bad features."

Lowell Yeager has assumed the role of traveling chemist with the Atlas Missile Projects where he is doing the receiving inspection and the final approval of all cleaned items. Lowell is presently in Kansas City, before that Oklahoma, and before that, Los Angeles. With this sort of travel Lowell ought to be in the northeast by the time the reunion rolls around next year. Speaking of Reunion, Bob Holland is the Reunion Chairman. He has started the planning for the coming "great event" already. If you have some thoughts about the Reunion why not drop Bob a note soon. That way he will have a chance to include it in the plans. Bob's address is: Leland Gardens, Plainfield, N. J.

In the engagement column Dr. DickStacey and Miss Constance Moore have announced their engagement. The Mrs. Doctor to-be-graduated from the University of Washington last year while Dick is presently in his last year at Tufts Medical School. The wedding is to be in Spokane during June. Miss Sandra Clarholm and Stan Juthe plan to be married during the late summer. Stan has just completed his hitch with the Coast Guard Reserve. Dr. John Carroll and Miss Carol Gibeault plan to also be married during the summer. John, and his wife-to-be (Carol Carroll, of course) plan to live in Providence where he is an intern at the Rhode Island Hospital. Frank Andrews and Miss Ann Skilling have announced their engagement. Both Frank and his fiancee are candidates for doctorial degrees at the University of Michigan. Prior to his entering Michigan Frank spent a year at the University of Sydney in Australia as a Rotary International Fellow.

Following engagements come weddings- naturally. Bob Macdonald and Miss June Campbell were married March 31. After a honeymoon at St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, Bob and his wife will live in Cambridge where, together, they will help Bob wend his way through Harvard "B" School. Miss Barbara Such and Bill Pownall were married in March in New York. Bill has just completed two years in the Army Signal Corps at Ft. Meade.

Following marriage - Babies. In February Joe and Jane Stevenson had their second son, Todd Sander Stevenson. This was a big time of year for the Stevensons because, at about the same time, they moved into a new house in White Plains, N. Y., from whence Joe commuted daily into the city and Benton and Bowles. Fran and Pat Sarnie have produced their third child (second daughter) in the Maiden, Mass., Hospital. That should pretty well be in the fore of the large families expected from "this here Dartmouth contingent."

Following babies - Well Russ Brignano wrote a note that graduate studies at the University of Wisconsin are taking some of his time but his main job, though still single, is baby-sitting for Ted and Sally Jennings. What a vivid warning to all bachelors.

Business wise, John Holliday, after gaining business experience in the investment field, joined the investment department of the Employers Reinsurance Company in Kansas City, and is in the office of the assistant treasurer. Larry Karacki is writing his master's thesis at Rutgers, where he is a graduate student in sociology. Larry's thesis is based on his feeling that juvenile delinquency stems from a boy's refusal to grow up more than it does from the basically accepted theory of slum conditions, broken homes, and the like. John Roberts was ordained into the ministry of the United Presbyterian Church, USA. John and his wife, Kathy, are now living in Chicago where John is connected with the Chicago City Missionary Society, serving the downtown churches of Chicago.

Well, lads, this is the end of our fifth year off the Hanover Plain. Fast, wasn't it? We can cover the whole thing up for one more year because in our sixth year out we have our fifth reunion. But, after that, it's all downhill. Ho. Ho. Smile. Hope, Karen, and I wish all of you a wonderful summer. See you next fall. Best, Skip.
