INFANT INFO
Bill Turino penned a reasonably self-explanatory note in time to beat our last dead- line of the season, to wit: "I forgot to mention it, but Mary and I had a second child twelve months ago, in April of '62, named Hope Griffith. Mary has already enrolled her in Smith. We are _ dwelling in Bronxville and frequently run into Jay and Ellie Urstadt '49 who lives 25 yards away and whose son, Charlie '78, uses my boy, Dave '78, as a football." Hey, troops! It's baseball season but put down that bat!
Another legacy to Dartmouth arrived January 19 opine Bill and Joan Sholten from their Northbrook, Ill., abode. Editorial comment from the distaff side was a vote in favor of finding femmes at the Chicago D Club dinner from President Dickey in March.
Somehow our manners have failed for we've neglected to let ladies go first. The lass in question is Miss Leigh Brenner, "another skiing Peppard" who checked in on March 30 at eight pounds, three ounces. The announcement by Ray and Nancy Peppard was done on a picture of the Gunstock ski area near Belknap-Laconia-Gilford, N. H., New England's Family Playground. Guess the idea is if you're going to play around, you're going to have a family. Sounds like good advice.

The big news from the public relations pushers at Bethlehem Steel these days concerns our own GerrySarao. It seems Bethlehem decided Gerry didn't have enough to do as president of the Dartmouth Club of Western Connecticut and in other Dartmouth affairs so they went ahead and promoted him to contracting manager for New York sales. He succeeds a gentleman named Shook who, if you will pardon the expression, was Shook up to the home office. Gerry joined Bethlehem in 1951 after completing the Thayer School course of studies, took the Loop course in management training, then took time out for three years with the Navy. He returned to Bethlehem and New York as a contracting engineer in 1956 and was appointed a salesman in 1962.
