1948

The only disadvantage of serving as Class Secretary is that the vacation between June and October seems much shorter than the regular vocation vacation. Anyway, it's back to the "mightier than the sword" so here we go for the 1969-1970 academic year.

Jack Mahoney, orthopedic surgeon in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., had a grandstand seat for the Apollo Moon Launching - something most of us could see only on T.V. Jack has a new Dodge motor home which he parked on the beach at Titusville. His description of the launching, "magnificent." Jack and Marilyn manage to ski every winter, usually in Colorado, through their membership in the Fort Lauderdale Ski Club! Six children, ages sixteen to four, plus tennis and fishing, with some of that rare Florida sunshine help to keep him young. Jack said he saw Dwight Burley recently at a Dartmouth dinner. Dwight is practicing in Coral Gables, Fla.

Congratulations to Phil Viereck who has been appointed elementary supervisor of the Southwest Vermont Supervisory School Union. Phil has been principal of two elementary schools in Bennington, Vt. He received his Master's degree in 1957 and has taught in Alaska as well as in the Bennington Schools. Phil has also written four books and recently finished a textbook for a social studies series which will be published soon. Phil and Ellen live in Shaftsbury, Vt., and have four children, ages 17 to 13. Among his duties will be the improvement of instruction, selection of teaching materials, and supervision of staff. It sounds like he will have little time left for skiing!

Barney Hoisington, director of Financial Aid at Columbia College, writes that he is enjoying his job very much despite periodic building "liberation." He neglected to mention whether he had been "liberated" for any period of time — however, his handwriting disclosed no evidence of mistreatment. Barney and Barbara have four children. Their oldest son Steve, a sophomore at Dartmouth, did well academically his first year. He also managed to acquire the ski bug and helped Ripley to the dorm hockey championship.

Milt Siegal is a psychologist in the Cranbury, N. J., school system. For those of us who are content in our work, Milt summed it up nicely by his statement that he finds his job "enjoyable, meaningful, and rewarding." He and Joan moved to a house in East Brunswick, N. J., and he finds this a delightful change for someone who was a N.Y.C. cliff dweller.

Malcolm Simpson, another of our teacher classmates, has been named to an administrative position. Malcolm is now the principal of the West Essex Regional High School, North Caldwell, N. J., having previously been head of the school's math department. After receiving his Master's degree from the University of Delaware he taught in Pennsylvania, East Orange, and in Newark before joining the West Essex system. Malcolm and Betty have three children and are living in Livingston, N. J.

Good to hear from Foxy Parker who was one of the many hard working class agents for Lou Perry last spring. Bill Wright, superintendent of the Greenfield, Mass., public schools, is heading the special gifts division of the United Fund Campaign this year. Wendell Griffith has changed jobs and is vice president and general manager of D. L. Auld Co. in Columbus, Ohio. The executive vice president of this company is Dave Auld. These two should make another great Dartmouth combination.

Ray Richards, with Cummins Engine Co., transferred from England to Columbus, Ind., where he is a vice president in operations. Dave Richards now deputy chief of staff at First Naval District Headquarters in N.Y.C. Rem Drury moved from Pittsburgh to Rio de Janeiro where he is director of Petroleo Gulf de Brasil, Ltda.
