1953

Dick Goodman was elected to the first list of "Outstanding Young Men of New England." As superintendent of schools in the Milford, N. H., area, he has brought national school developments in his area. He was chosen by the New England School Development Council to improve education in their 255-member school. The press clipping wasn't specific, but I believe the election was held by the Jaycees.

A sailing trophy was presented at Dartmouth College ceremonies here recently in memory of an alumnus from our Class who was lost at sea eight years ago. The "Conover Trophy" was donated to the college by Donald C. Goss of New York City in honor of his college roommate, Lawrence Conover who was lost with four others when his family's yawl went down off Key West on January 1, 1958.

In making the award to its first recipient, Frederick H. Heerde '66 of Benton, Ky., Mr. Goss asked that the trophy be given annually at the college's "Wetdown" ceremonies, held each May to mark student government changeovers. He asked that it go "to that member of the Dartmouth Corinthian Yacht Club who best exemplifies the Dartmouth spirit of good sportsmanship, good fellowship, competitive excellence, and interest in sailing as a means to recreational enjoyment."

Bernard Dunnan has been chosen as superintendent of schools in Columbus, Ohio.

Gil Osborn has joined one of my old stomping grounds, Bradford Junior College, as assistant to the president. Gil continues in his role of fund raising, and will have charge of the college's fund support programs. Are the girls as cute as they used to be, Gil?

In the medical world, Dr. "Sammy"Franz has opened an office in Meriden, Conn. He is an orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Irwin Freedberg, recently appointed head of the Department of Dermatology at Beth Israel Hospital, has been named an American Cancer Society Faculty Research Associate and is the recipient of a $102,750 grant which will enable him to conduct research for a five-year period at the Boston Hospital. Dr. Edward Okun has been promoted to assistant professor of Clinical Ophthalmology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. He has been a member of the faculty since 1964 and also conducts a private practice.

Ton Philips has been back in the United States for the past year as advertising sales manager of Pace Magazine. The Los Angeles-based magazine is owned by Moral Re-Armament and is aimed at showing teenagers and young people the positive side of world affairs. Ton alternates between Los Angeles, New York, and Holland. GayJones has been appointed assistant production manager by the Ferry Cap & Set Screw Company in Cleveland. He joined the company in 1958. Fred Wolf has been elected an assistant vice president of Johnson & Higgins, the oldest insurance brokerage firm in America. Fred joined the firm in 1960 in the employee benefit department.

Billy Johnson ran a good race, but was defeated in his bid for the Republican Senate nomination in New Hampshire. His campaign was managed by Sherm Horton.

There's not much to report in the way of marriages or births this issue. Tim andJudy Thomas had a son, Taylor Goodwin, last July 14. Paul Paganucci was married in September in front of a large Dartmouth gathering. I hope to have more details and possibly a photograph by the next issue.

I was truly sorry to miss the Princeton game. There must have been forty or fifty '53's up for the weekend. Needless to say, the game was great and I understand the weather was typically beautiful. I saw PhilFast and Butch Edgar briefly on their way up and spoke to Norm Carpenter on the phone.

In closing, Jack Patten was in New York on a business trip from London. Had an "early" dinner with Jack which was fine even if I did miss the last train home.
