1961

This will be a short column as you can tell by dropping your eyes to where it says '62. The reason it is a short column is that there are no facts to put into it - facts about you, yes you sitting there in your chair, leaning back, you who glanced at the cover, skipped to this page to see what's up with the boys and will now dutifully move on to read about the '59's and '60's and maybe a feature article or two, check what neat things you can get with the Dartmouth crest on them from Campion's and then throw the March Issue onto a pile on a shelf.

You see, you thought you were so unique and you're not . . . really quite typical. And, typically, you don't get too interested in reading about general topics concerning Dartmouth. You seek out news about projects and organizations with which you were associated and news of your personal friends. It's just dandy to do all this, but what about those friends . . . how the heck are they gonna find out about you if you don't write in???? Everybody likes to' sit back and get the gossip but nobody likes to take the time to make sure they're included in it.

Honestly, men, Reunions and reading the editorials in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE aren t enough to hold a class together. It takes a bit more effort than that. Messrs, Foster and Maura of the Newsletter and I are doing our best to keep everybody interested in Dartmouth and '61 in particular, but we need your help. How 'bout it?

Dick Noel had a big week last December — on the 10th he was promoted to assistant trust officer of the First Agricultural Bank of Berkshire (Mass.) County. On the 13th his wife Chris brought forth their second daughter. All them Noels are living in North Adams. Mark Grady is relishing in the last days of "one dependent for the Income Tax" what with his forthcoming troth-pledging to Miss Alice Edson of Chevy Chase, Md. Currently, Mark is at BU pursuing his MA, after that he'll whip PDQ to Md. to mind his P's and Q's at the parties, write the DOC and the USN and the WCTU and tell them the news.

Ross Sandler is engaged too. Ross and Miss Roslyn Freishtat announced their plans on January 4 and plan to do the ring thing in June. Ross is with a big accountant firm in New York, I think. Still more news of the Great Race . . . Bob Wendell is getting hitched on May 21 to Miss Kathleen Redmond of Bridgeport, Conn. Bob is with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.

John Zabriskie has taken a position with Merck and Company, a chemical and pharmaceutical company, as a senior research chemist. John is a doctor of Organic Chemistry and is living in North Plainfield, N. J., with wife Madeline and lots and lots of test tubes, beakers, etc.

And that, dear hearts, is it.
