1942

With the advent of the Third Century Fund, both the College and we in the Class recognized that increased emphasis would have to be placed on the Alumni Fund to continue it at its present level. . . . To give to the Alumni Fund is to "smile"; not to give is to "frown."

Short Shots

Harry L. Edgcomb of Short Hills (N. J ) has served as chairman of the Millburn-Short Hills school board's 4-4 committee for the past two years and also as a member of the education, finance, and property and planning committees. He is seeking reelection.

Bill Russell of Parsippany (N. J.) is "hotrhing it" a bit more than is customary for a married man. With both children crown his wife, Nan, is getting her Master's deeree' this year at Simmons College in Boston, in Library Science and Media. Anyone for "commuting" to Boston?

Don Meads has been elected to the boards of directors of Sentinel Growth boar Fund, Inc., and Sentinel Income Fund, Inc., two mutual funds sponsored by National Life Insurance Company of Vermont. He is chairman and chief executive officer of International Basic Economy Corporation, of New York City, and a director of Super Valu Stores of Hopkins, Minn., and Computer Systems International of Minneapolis. He is also a director of the Salvation Army.

Dick Cardozo, who is chairman of the experimental program to bring 1942 classmates into campus dialogue with undergraduates, reports that all is on the track. The first three sessions on January 1.4, 28, and February 11 involved Joe Wilder, the Reverend James Curtis, and Dave Sargent.

In case you missed it. . . the January ALUMNI MAGAZINE carried on pages 8-13 "An Interview with James Newton '68," the young man who made the graduation speech last June. (Note: Richard J. Vaules does the interviewing and says that he "became concerned that when the furor broke over Jamie Newton's graduation speech that it would develop into a ping-pong match between the ideological extremes among the alumni, with the greater number of that body watching and forming their opinions not on what Jamie said and meant but on what was said about him.")

Parting Shots and Tie-in Tips

There is no sure way to guarantee that your students (youngsters) will grow up to be the kind of people you would like them to be. The most likely way is for you to be the kind of person you would like them to be.

And remember . . . according to the September 14 issue of "Columbus Public Library Bookery Briefs," "Smile at People" is one of the Ten Commandments of Human Relations. . . . "It takes seventy-two (72) muscles to frown, only fourteen (14) to smile." (Sec. note).... So it pays to smile, even if it hurts.
