1961
I earnestly hope you are all out counting all the flowers that those April showers brought down like pennies from heaven to the little rose-covered cottage in the purple sage way out west in peace and war, blood sweat and tears. And another thing I trust you are all doing is cooperating with your local Class Agent in making our objectives in this year's fund drive. The big problem with Fund Drives is procrastination. Why not make out your check or pledge right this minute and avoid the possibility of overlooking the closing date of June 30?
The mails haven't exactly been bursting with letters from you gay cavaliers. One white knight who wasn't afraid to write was W. Patrick Moorman. It seems that our good friend is presently suffering the privations of life in Roma and on the Via Veneto. Pat is with the American Embassy in the land of milk and honeys. Moorman always was one for making the best of a bad situation. Hope he can find something to do in that dull backwash. Pat says that he will offer the 50¢ tour to any wandering '61's who want to rough it in Playland.
March 30 was the big day for Miss Ann Moseley and Guy Cox. Guy and Ann were married in Dallas, Texas, home city of the bride. Don't know exactly what Guy and his new wife will be doing way down there in the Southwest, but I'm sure they won't be digging for gold. New York City will be the scene of the May wedding between Miss Elinor Krasner and Steve Elson. Steve is an account executive with Grey Advertising in New York.
While speaking of engagements, Miss Linda Horowitz of New York and Bob"Tough Guy" Rosier will be taking the big walk in June. Bob is a lawyer with a New York firm and is studying for his Master's at the New York Tax Institute. I hope brother Rosier will publish a big book of tax tips and send it to all of us harassed taxpayers. Tax cuts are swell, but as they say,
"I don't know if I'll be able to enjoy much more of this." After hearing about the big tax cut, everybody dashed out and bought mink coats, sports cars, etc., etc., then it turns out that the average tax reduction was about eighteen dollars (eighteen lousy dollars - what kinda mink coat can ya get for eighteen bucks — be lucky to get a mangy squirrel skin!). Save us, Bob!!
Skip Mahady was kind enough to send along a report of his doings in White River. Skip and his wife. Susan are living back in Vermont where Skip works as a lawyer with Black and Plante. Skip graduated from Georgetown Law last June and coached debate, at a School of Nursing yet! LarryWilson graduated from Harvard Law and is with the Army for a short spell. Bob Kelley is working for Time-Life in NYC and is studying towards his master's.
A few quickies: Oscar Arslanian is with Scott Paper in Boston; Dave Clark is working in Morocco with Colgate Palmolive; Chuck Dayton is living in Minneapolis and is a busy lawyer; Bill Beck is in his last year of Med. School at Penn. Pete McCrea is way down in Saudi Arabia, and that well-known leader of men and artificer of fine waznebniacks Tom Mauro and his lovely wife and family are living in Minneapolis and hobnobbing with John and Jane King,Hob and Judy Holmberg, Jack and JudyHansen, Byron Olson, Mr. and Mrs. SamHughes and a bunch more sons of Dartmouth who find the City of Lakes interesting. Last bit of information, Walt Schlieman is in Washington with the Navy.
That's about the end of the hot scoop for the big, whopping spring centennial edition of your friendly column. As usual the majority of the news concerns the success of the young damsels in tracking down the brave bachelors of '6l who joyfully take up the responsibilities of matrimony. That news comes from the clipping services, so unless you gents wanna read about nothing but cupid and weddings and mushy stuff like that you'd better drop your old dad a line. Do it right after you contribute to the Alumni Fund.
