1959

The summer seemed to whiz by, assisted in no small way by the myriad activities and events of the summer term. There is a fairly cosmopolitan flavor to the place during the summer months blended by the mixture of earnest executives and drama and music students, the ABC boys, the Peace Corps trainees and nicely iced off by the rather foreign but pleasing parade of coeds - standing on the Inn corner to check the thermometer took as long as fifteen or twenty minutes these days. But that's all gone by now and the traditional colorful and spirited fall is well under way, so I'd better get down to business.

The Buffalo Evening News recently ran a story about "Opie" Jones and his Peace Corps experiences. Opie is in the Philippines teaching English as a foreign language to Filipino students. He has been home in Buffalo for the summer but will return for a third year and a more dedicated Corpsman you could not find. Marv Sezak, a high school language teacher, will go to England to teach this fall through a Fulbright Hayes Act International Educational Exchange grant. He will teach in the city of Birrhingham, College of Commerce. Dave Page recently received his Master of Science degree in physics at lowa State University. For those of you who still have your erector sets, his thesis topic was Electrical Resistivity of Thorium and Dilute Thorium-Gadolinium Alloys. In lune, NYU awarded a D.D.S. degree to Lee Othan. During his senior year, Lee was elected to membership in Omicron Kappa Upsilon, the National Dental Honor Society. He began his internship in oral surgery at Yale New Haven Hospital in July. Fran Noel received his Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Colorado and is currently studying at the University of New Mexico on a special grant. He had been a teacher in the art department and coach of skiing at Colorado Rocky Mountain School and was chairman of the National Junior Ski Meets held in Oregon. JoeBete was recently elected executive vice president of the Channing L. Bete Company, Inc. in Greenfield, Mass. A June letter from Doug Wheeler describes his duties at the United States Army Intelligence School as an extension course writer and indicates that as of July 1 he has been with the Department of History at the University of New Hampshire teaching the history of Africa. His letter contained news of Tom Noonan whom he met on a quick honeymoon trip. Tom is newly married himself and finishing Ph.D. work at the University of Indiana.

A newspaper clipping of several months ago gave a fine writeup to Bob Bailey who is currently of Yale Music School faculty. Bob was commended for his part in the concert series finale down in New Haven and for his lectures related to it. Better late than never, I can report the birth of a son, Terence Walter, to Dr. and Mrs. TerryCeranski. February 24 is long gone so I imagine they have been sleeping nights. On May 5, Jim Burner became a father when his wife gave birth to a daughter, Virginia Louise. Mr. and Mrs. Dave Duclos became the parents of a boy, Thomas David, on March 24. Howie Chickering, assistant professor of English at Amherst is completing, or has just completed, his doctorate at Indiana University. Down in Bristol, Conn., Walt Vincent was recently appointed Industrial Relations Manager of the special products division at the Ingraham Company. Greg Holthusen is back in Hanover as an intern at Mary Hitchcock Hospital. He, Sandy, young Greg, Heidi, and Peggy are living out in Rivercrest. We combined forces for a picnic a while back and succeeded in alleviating the effects of the drought somewhat by turning all the kids loose on our front lawn with dripping popsicles. As of May 27, Butch and Cle Priest have been residing in a new ranch type home in Wellesley, Mass. Their post card reminded me that I had not mentioned the birth of Chrissy way back on December 8 of last year. By now she's probably old enough to read this column and can reprimand me herself.

Cliff Lamberg-Karlovsky writes that he received his Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Pennsylvania last June at which time he also concluded his first year of teaching at Franklin and Marshall College as an assistant professor of anthropology. He has accepted a position in the Department of Anthropology at Harvard as an assistant professor and hopes to start archeological excavation in Iran in the summer of '66. Archeologist that he is, Cliff managed to dig up some news about Fred Lockyear who is busy and active in Los Angeles as a stockbroker. Ted Bachelder was recently named to the research staffs of the Boston Fund and the Canada General Fund as an industry specialist. Now living with his family at Marblehead, Mass., he was formerly associated with the All State Insurance and the Northern Trust Company in Chicago as an investment analyst.

The females are slowly eroding away our bachelor reserve. In a June letter, MaiSwenson informed me of his engagement to Susanne Murth of Innsbruck, Austria. They met at the University of Innsbruck where he studied after leaving Hanover. Mai has been graduated from the Harvard Business School and now lives in Concord, N. H., where he works for the John Swenson Granite Company. While visiting his fiancee this past winter, he was able to get together with Chuck Miltner who has just completed his Master's Degree in City Planning at Berkeley. Apparently he was rewarding himself with a European holiday. Renny Drew married Lois Ann Page a few months back.

I've probably missed a few but maybe they will provide a good starter for next month's column.

Keep the news flowing. Hope to see some of you in Hanover this fall. You can catch me up on the news I've missed at that time. I am writing this in mid-August as I leave for a few weeks vacation so while it will be in on time, it will not be completely up to date - but is it ever?
