1962
There can be no doubts that 1962 has some very special problems during Alumni Fund Drive time which the older classes do not have. What with 74% of us having gone on to graduate work and a number of others in the service, it is not very easy for Class Agent Terry Bentley and his assistant agents to contact each one of us personally. Mailing addresses are just not a good enough indication- of where people are. So how about giving some help to these men who are working hard to make this 50th Alumni Fund the best yet. Send your check in now.
One more thing needs to be said about the Fund. I must admit that last year even I hesitated at first to contribute, because I was not able to give very much. But the Fund does not ask everyone for a large gift, it asks for a realistic gift. Is this too much to ask?
Doing things in a big way Chuck andAmy Cohen became the proverbial proud parents of a 9 lb., 13 oz. baby boy, Andrew Jay '86, on April 4. I've seen him, and believe me, he's big. Another short item of interest - the Board of Directors of the University of Michigan Lawyers Club has named Jack Unger as the Club's disciplinarian. Should be a rather interesting year.
Ted Mascott has discovered that there are certain professional hazards in the radio business. Ted, a producer for Boston's educational radido station WGBH-FM, was in St. Augustine, Fla., to cover civil rights demonstrations in progress. With the assistant general manager of the station Ted was describing the scene, into a tape recorder, of police breaking up a group with electric "cow-prods," when he was seized by the police. Charged with inciting a riot, disorderly conduct, and acting in a disorderly manner, he was held in $2750 bail until the station could send him money.
Chuck Simpson is in NYC working for Manufacturers-Hanover Bank and really is enjoying his association with M-H. Chuck is adding his name to that long list of Dartmouth men who have put Dartmouth in eighth place in the number of alumni in executive positions. And checking up on Chuck is Dave Robbins who is with the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. Dave has gone aristocratic and is living on Beacon Hill. Another executive-in-the-making is FrankMori who has taken a job with General Foods. Sam and Marilee Anderson are back from Europe. After arriving in Berlin they found that the accommodations which were supposed to have been ready for them were not. So instead of studying at the University of Berlin for a year they toured Europe for a few months. That sounds like an education in itself. Dick Zartler is finishing up at Harvard Business School and plans to be on his first job by the end of July. Right now he's in the midst of trying to decide just what that first job will be. (Maybe the Winter Carnival Council could use an executive secretary, Dick.)
Dick Dojny, who was awarded his second lieutenant's bars at an ROTC commissioning ceremony before Commencement, was recently promoted to first lieutenant at Fort Monroe, Va. Dick is assigned as admin- istrative officer of the 8th Data Processing Unit, a support unit for the U.S. Continental Army Command Headquarters. Before his Monroe assignment, he attended the Officers Administration and Data Processing Course at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana.
Jerry Elfendahl, out Seattle way, keeps himself busy as an artist and art teacher. Jerry, who received a degree in art education from Western Washington State College, teaches on Bainbridge Island and recently initiated his own school art program for grades four through eight.
Finishing up on his M.A. in Spanish at Brown is Jim Haines. Right on the heels of his graduation will be his marriage to Marnie Scull of Langhorne, Pa., a Smith '62 who will be receiving an M.A. in sociology also at Brown. Tom Boudreau is spending his time in Boston pushing his way up the actuarial ladder. His major pastime seems to be showing pictures of his year-old daughter to anyone who'll look.
We received word from Lt. Tom Cranna, USMC, who is out Santa Ana, Calif., way. Tom was married on December 21, a week after he finished flight training at Pensacola, to Miss Bonnie Bird, Smith '62. At present Tom is getting a little experience for law school - he just finished seven weeks of Navy Justice School and is serving as Squadron Legal Officer.
Art Hoover is still grinding away at the law books in South Bend, but he's motivated. He's in love again. No details other than "she's all I could want." Art reports having done a little bit of tipping during winter vacation with Jim Connaughton and Chuck Allen. He also ran into Carter Strickland who is engaged to a girl from Joliet, Ill. According to Art, Carter looks in top shape, "just like he was while sweating for the Bullet."
Some Air Force officers take to the skies, but others, it seems, take to the skis. Among the latter can be found our own First Lieutenant Al Weeks who, we learned from an official U.S. Air Force release, is a member of the ski team from Olmsted Air Force Base, Pa. He was sent out to Snow Basin, Utah (flown no doubt) to compete in the 1964 Air Force Logistics Command Invitational Ski Meet, a five-day occasion in March, but we don't know how Al did. For those worried taxpayers in the class Al's major concern with the Air Force is as military procurement officer with the Middletown Air Materiel Area at Olmsted.
Another letter telling about pleasant times in Japan is from Tom Ackland who is a naval officer stationed in Yokosoka, Japan. Tom is on board an LST which runs a Grey-hound-type ferry service "solely for marines - they leave the driving to us." Joel Monell is a lieutenant, j.g., and navigator aboard the Pollux. Jere Hawkins, a lieutenant in the USMC is stationed in Okinawa "and says the marine corps is a good career for other guys." Also in the Orient with the above is Terrp Corbet, a lieutenant, j.g., who first spent eighteen months in Saigon, Viet Nam. Mike Parish .is on the Seventh Fleet staff, USS Providence.
