1958

This has been an extraordinarily slow month with respect to social news developments. We do have three items to report in this category, however. From West "Leb" comes word that Mr. and Mrs. Gerry Garbacz are now the parents of a new son, Geoffrey Alan, born September 20. Miss Carolyn J. Suwalski and Terry Doran announced their engagement in the early fall and were planning an October 17 wedding. The former Miss Judith Maccubbin and TedFurber were married on Sept. 5 in Red Bank, N. J. Ted is in his third year of law school at the University of Minnesota.

Several items of interest in the field of formal education of '58's have popped up. Vince Hovanec, who has been specializing in business and economic news reporting with the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times, has been awarded one of four Russell Sage Foundation fellowships in social science writing at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. The school's director of the School of Journalism described the purpose of the program briefly as follows: "Gaps exist between many areas of the social sciences and the world of public affairs. Our society needs as never before specialist writers for the press with understanding and skill to bridge these gaps." Vince, who is scheduled to return to the Times upon completion of the program, formerly worked in United Press International bureaus in North Carolina and on the staff of the Raleigh, N. C., News and Observer.

On May 29, Fred Bagnall was awarded a Bachelor of Foreign Trade degree at the American Institute for Foreign Trade in Phoenix, Ariz. "Bags" is now working in export sales for the Pall Corporation in Glen Cove, Long Island, N. Y. Another graduate of the Institute, Tom Morse was recently appointed Southwest District Sales Manager of Nicolet Industries Pipe Wrap Division. Tom, who was formerly the Southwest representative for the Kendall Company, maintains his headquarters in Houston, Texas. Phil Calkins is presently enrolled at the Institute.

Bueky Bucholz is now a graduate history student at the University of Chicago.

Several '58's are perched on the dictatorial end of the educational spectrum, in the teaching profession. Don Mansfield is teaching at Green Meadows Junior High School in Commack, N. Y. Don was formerly an adjuster for Allstate Insurance Co. Joe Hayse is teaching French and English at Highland Public High School in Highland Wisconsin.

The country's higher institutions of learning also boast of numerous '58's on their faculties. George Spyrides is an instructor in the Department of Biology at Harvard.

Business headlines have been made by several '58's since the last time we covered the business world. During the summer, Ward Burian was promoted to assistant treasurer of the J. Henry Schroder Banking Corp. and of Schroder Trust Co., both of New York City. Ward, who is living in Locust Valley on Long Island, is doing graduate work evenings at New York University.

John, who, with wife and two boys, resides in Northfield, joined the bank in 1960, following a tour with Uncle Sam.
