1958
It appears that there may really be something to this leap year gimmick. Throughout the country, since January 1, '58's have been falling by the matrimonial wayside in near record numbers. Further, the number of engagement notices that I have seen indicates that the trend presently shows no signs of reversal.
It is only fitting, however, before relaying the news of current year ventures, that we mention a wedding which took place last summer, that of Miss Pat Dufficy and Larry Bill. Although this may be ancient history to many of us, regrettably the news escaped the pages of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. Incidentally, Larry recently expressed some concern (certainly justifiable) over my ability to provide myself with an adequate quantity of cigars. This is a refreshing new concept as Church Pew and Dick Osgood, whom I have the rather dubious fortune of viewing at various and sundry Dartmouth alumni functions in the Boston area, express an equal amount of concern over my ability to supply them with an adequate quantity of the same item. This concern has increased several fold since the release of the Surgeon General's report concerning cigarette smoking.
Married on February 8 were Miss Jo Anne Marie O'Brien and Hank Reilly. Hank obtained a master's degree in 1961 at Boston University and is now employed by the Boston Redevelopment Authority. On January 11. Miss Kathryn A. Hope and Stu Clark were married in Rocky Hill, Conn. They are now living in Long Beach, Calif.
Frank Raymond of Stamford, Conn., and Miss Joan S. Fleck of New Canaan are engaged. Also planning to exchange nuptial vows are Miss Barbara Anne Krueger and Ernie Behrens, both of Hasbrouck Heights, N. J. Ernie, a Tuck graduate, is now with the Dowling Fuel Company. They plan to be married in May. Graf Berger, who has his MBA degree from Harvard, and is now working in Cleveland, and Miss Elizabeth H. Thompson of Kansas City, Mo., have announced plans to file down the aisle in the near future. Miss Jane Elizabeth Shevlin and Lt. (j.g.) Bill Walsh are looking forward to a summer wedding. Bill is presently assigned to the Staff of the Commander, Atlantic Oceanographic System.
Ray Robbins was recently appointed dean of the American School in Lugano-Montagnola, Switzerland. Prior to this appointment, Ray was a biology instructor at the school, and was instrumental in the establishment of an extensive sports program which now includes hockey, basketball, skiing, tennis, soccer, volley ball, and fencing. Ray performed graduate work at Harvard before leaving for Switzerland.
John Trimble was recently elected an assistant treasurer of the Fidelity Union Trust Company in Newark.
The Rev. H. Carl McCall is now the director of Church-Community Services of the New York City Mission Society. Carl is working on a cooperative program of city churches attempting to provide relevant Christian services to the churches in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn. Following graduation from Dartmouth, Carl studied at New College of the University of Edinburgh in England. Last year he received his B.D. degree from Andover Newton Theological Seminary in Newton, Mass.
Lt. Paul B. Bragdon, who is making a career of the Air Force, has been transferred to the Strategic Air Command wing at Bergstrom Air Force Base near Austin, Texas. Ann and Paul are now the proud parents of a son, Mark Douglas, born on February 24. Paul expects to doff captain's bars on May 4.
At a recent social gathering in Boston, I ran into Bill Smith, who is presently in the midst of his third year at Boston University Medical School. Although he was headed for the slopes the following morning at 5 A.M., and therefore felt he should forsake excessive revelry and depart at a reasonable hour, I did have an opportunity to extract a little information concerning his activities since 1958. Bill began his postgraduate educational endeavors in geology. Convinced that his interests lay elsewhere, Bill completed his military obligation and subse- quently coached skiing at Dartmouth in 1960-1961.
