1950
Holy schmokes! That season is upon us again, forsooth. Zooks! It may seem like just another annum perred down the rathole, but the start is unique for us now that we're a year-and-a-half shy of the Fifteenth: no new chilluns reported all summer! Even more fabulous, we have a wedding and two for real engagements to proclaim. Will wonders ever cease?
THE HITCHING POST: Proof that even the most entrenched bachelors can succumb to the wiles of a femme fatale, Herb Ray married Carol Wood Strubel of Barrington, Ill., on August 17. Besides your scribe, Herb Knight '51 was in the wedding party and numerous Big Greenies toasted the couple after the ceremony. Excuse any omissions which are due to poor note taking, but we spotted Brooks Boyce (in from Milwaukee and his work with Wisconsin Paper & Products Co.), Si Morand, Dick and Mary Frey, Carter and Penny Hoyt '49, Jack and Rachel Senne '53, and the Gaylord Freemans '31. Carol went to Wells College for two years before graduating from Colorado. She's been decorating interiors with an outfit in the Chicago suburbs and will do the same for their new near-northside diggings. Herb shuttles to the First National Bank where he's assistant director of personnel and weekend skipper of the aptly named Tritonclass sloop, "Drambuie."
WALKING THE LAST MILE: From New Milford, Conn., on July 3 came word that Miss Louise Adams Metcalf and JohnO'Keefe will splice a nuptial knot. The bride-to-be graduated from Bennett College.

Congrats and best wishes, young (?) lovers, wherever you are!

THREE R's REPORT: If the expected Papoose Parade failed to materialize over the summer, a surfeit of pedagogic poop permeated the tepee. From Washington University in St. Louis we learned that BobJordan has been promoted to associate prof in the College of Liberal Arts in the field of art and archaeology. . . . The University of Washington in Seattle boasts two 50's, JohnMoulton in the philosophy department and Alexander G. Medlicott, known to us as Joe, to hometowners in Longmeadow, Mass., as "Sandy," and to the Huskies as "Doctor Medlicott" since he obtained his Ph.D. in English. Joe and Suzanne live in Bellingham with Alex III (12), Peter (10), and Susan (7).

An interesting story appeared in the Daily D just before the academic year wound up last spring. Seems that Glen Fitkin has designed a radically different shell for the Rowing Club. Narrower and deeper than its predecessors, it's all fiberglass weighing 235 pounds, a full 90 pounds less than conventional shells! But does it float???
