1953

Many thanks to Fred Stephens for a fine job as our Class Secretary these past five years. The time and energy he has devoted to the Class certainly deserve our recognition. Our. thanks also to Bob Malin and Butch Edgar for their efforts in publishing "53 Out." Dick Blum is now rested-up from his chores as Reunion Chairman and will take over as editor of the class newsletter. And finally thanks to Class Agent Ed Condit, his staff, and all those 53's who gave so generously to the Alumni Fund. It was the greatest showing of any class in the College. We were at the top of all classes in overall objective with 176%, and also led all classes in the total number of donors with 565.

The Board of Governors at the Dartmouth Club Annex of New York (Uptown Branch — ll8 East 61st Street) announce the resignations of two members of long standing, John Kingsland and John Corcoran. They leave the bachelor ranks and roommates Fred Whittemore, Paul Paganucci, Bob Callender and Bob Lonsbury for a better way of life, namely marriage. John Corcoran is engaged to Susan Eades of Newtonville, Mass., and will be married by the time you read this. Susan is a graduate of Mount Holyoke College. John Kingsland is engaged to Elena de la Ossa of Great Neck, Long Island. Elena is a Vassar graduate. This looks like a big year for John since he was also recently made a Vice President of White, Weld & Co., an Investment Banking Firm.

Also leaving the bachelor ranks in October is Bill King. His engagement to Elizabeth Ann Pughe was recently announced. Bill graduated from Harvard Law School after Dartmouth, and is now associated with the Boston law firm of Hausermann, Davison and Shattuck. The Boston Herald brings news that Noel "Chad" Day is also engaged and planning a September wedding. He'll be marrying Peggy Dammond, a graduate of Boston University.

Howard Koonce has been appointed to the faculty of Colby College of Waterville, Me. Interestingly enough, Howard's wife will also be an instructor which gives Colby a husband-and-wife team on their faculty.

From Ohio comes welcome news that Bob Yates continues to roll along with Timken Roller Bearing Company. Bob who joined Timken in 1960 is the assistant editor of the company's employee publication. He has recently been honored by being elected secretary of the Akron Area Business and Industrial Editors. Earlier this year Bob was named co-chairman of the awards committee for the 1963 All-Ohio Conference of Industrial Editors. Before Timken, Bob was bureau chief for the Dunkirk Evening Observer in Fredonia, N.Y. After Dartmouth Bob earned an M.S. at North western's Medill School of Journalism. He and Barbara and their daughter live in Canton, Ohio.

On the move again with I.B.M. is TomBloomer, this time back to Washington, D.C.; from Rochester. No word from JackPatten, but we hope he made it home from reunion. Jack deserves some kind of award for his courageous roundtrip from his home in Denver. He made the trip with wife and golf clubs - in a Volkswagen!

Sorry there's no more news, but that's all I've got. We're looking forward to another great and exciting football team and hope to see many of you at the games this fall.

Secretary, 52 Shelley Ave. Port Chester, N.Y.

Treasurer, 609 Cavalry Dr., Fairfax, Va.
