1952
I was able to make the Harvard game and thanks to the ingenuity of our Athletic Director, Seaver Peters '54, I was able to see the game. Of course it was a little crowded for Mary and me inside the Ath- letic Department extra equipment trunk adjacent to the bench, however, Mary was a good sport about the whole thing. She allowed me to look through the keyhole during the half-time activities. Did you ever sit on a pair of upturned football cleats for an entire football game? I swear everytime Mary and I look at a waffle we get a pain in the rump.
Sorry I missed some of you at the program's festivities at the boathouse, however, we joined the group in the Hotel Continental telephone booth after the game. Boy! That hotel certainly believes in togetherness. Jay and Edie Anderson looked real fine. Jay's cowboy outfit and Edie's micro mini dress really'stole the show. Bob Binswanger, perched on top of the coin box in the booth, took notes during the entire affair. Fred Carleton, located way to the rear of the booth, kept raising his hand to no avail during the fracas, so he finally settled for Jay's cowboy hat. Talk about Fall-out! The Wylies, Chet and Judy, who no doubt have found the Fountain of Youth, kept dodging pointed questions as to its whereabouts. Roger Eastman persisted in playing his clarinet in the booth - meanwhile four husbands were socked by wives who thought they were too free with their hands.
Out of the past and into the future. Harvey Kelley, an executive with the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company, has written a million plus again in his valuable life insurance commodity. Harvey also finds time to hold down the treasurer's post for the West Side Community Nursery School where he can obtain the educational pulse of the pre-grade system. West Side has incorporated the regular tuition pre-grade students with those of the Head Start Program and Harvey finds this experience extremely interesting as well as rewarding. Kel is living in Manhattan with his lovely wife Dorothy and their three very .energetic children. Allison, Brad, and Hilary, ages 4½, 3, and 1. Keep up the fine work, Kel, and your aid in posting me on the '52's in the area will be appreciated.
