1952

I am writing this February issue for the Alumni Book while watching the snow pile high, thanks to a furious northeaster, which shows promise of dropping fourteen inches plus of the wet white stuff before morning. It is not good for business, but my nine kids are sure happy at the thought of school cancellations and romping through the drifts.

Speaking of kids, the Coeducational Proposal from our Alma Mater is getting some pretty fair publicity - no offence to the females meant; however, I for one would not be happy to see mini skirts flitting through the hallowed halls. The poor professors could not hope to overcome the tremendous distractions caused by rising skirts. And how would the ancient and dishonorable art of Date Snaking survive under the Coeducational system. I again say that the undergraduates should suffer in silence - sorry, ladies.

Away from the unpleasant thoughts of "Vassarizing" the Big Green and back to those who at one time made the supreme sacrifice of "going it alone."

Herb Katz, vice president of the General Builders Supply Company of Norwood and Cambridge, Mass., has been recently selected president of the Massachusetts Retail Lumber Dealers. Herb, his lovely wife Barbie, and their four sons reside at 69 McLean Street, Wellesley, Mass. Keep those toothpicks in free supply, Herb.

The guy that keeps the puppies happy, Bill Kay, president of Rival Pet Foods, has been elected president of the National Society of Alfred P. Sloan Fellows. The Society is an organization of alumni of the Sloan Fellowship Program at the Alfred P. Sloan School of Management of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was formerly Society vice president and a member of the Sloan Class of 1962-63. Bill was also appointed to the Advisory Council of the Sloan School of Management of M. I. T. No wonder the canines are outsmarting their owners!!

We should be receiving dividends on our contributions now that Dave Edson has been promoted to associate comptroller of the Big Green. Dave first returned to the college in 1955 as assistant to the Dean. He was appointed an academic counselor in the Office of Student Counseling two years later and, in 1958 he became assistant comptroller, a position he has held until now. Dave and Elizabeth live with their three children in Norwich, Vt., where he is very active in civic affairs. Congratulations and good luck, Dave!
