1959

We're heading down the home stretch! Those of you who want to be present at the signing of the final column produced by your present secretary should let me know well in advance. I have saved each of the 54 pens I have used over the past six years and will distribute them to those who are here when the last word goes on paper for the June issue.

Things are proceeding nicely for our Reunion. Recent attendance estimates are up over three hundred, which is encouraging. Many of you have probably heard the Dartmouth Five perform in connection with the "Dartmouth On The Road" show that's been going around this spring. We have this same band lined up for Saturday night in our tent. They should help make the place hop. On Friday night, the Injunaires and the Charlie Breed Combo will add to the festivities. Our Saturday afternoon picnic at Area 5 of Storrs Pond will feature great eats and plenty of room to spread out, circulate and prove you're still in shape. Actually, the only two things we won't have control over are the class elections and the weather!

A little news has trickled in. Scott andSally Palmer and gigantic new son Walter were back in Canaan for spring vacation and the sugaring season. Scott reports he had the best run of syrup ever with all of it top grade. It is a rumor that Dave Gavitt was sneaking out there at night to work on Walter's left-handed lay-up. He's already deadly with the right. Blackman has given up because the shoes will cost too much!

Fred Webster is busy in the Hanover area serving as an assistant class agent. His latest gimmick is to bet classmates a bottle of firewater that they can't run a five-minute mile. If they do, he gives to the Alumni Fund; if they don't, they give or the College gets the proceeds from a special life insurance policy Fred is featuring. The only thing that is saving us is that Fred doesn't know how many laps there are to a mile!

Norm Carlson is presently a Senior Engineer with the Computer Systems Division of Westinghouse Electric Corporation and is working in the area of computer control of nuclear power plants. Number one child, a daughter named Beth Andrea, arrived in the Carlson home back in February. Thus, Churchill, Pa., has another clothesline flying a full strand of diapers. Mike Hurd is back home in Norfolk, Va., after a threeand-a-half-month training period in New York City. Mike is a stockbroker with Francis I. duPont Company and is also busy as president of the Dartmouth Club an' working at enrollment for the Admission Office. Jim Warner was recently appojntvice president of Gomco Surgical Corporation in Buffalo. He reports that he now has one wife: Marilyn from London, English; one daughter: Jaqueline Samantha, age 3½. How about ten miles of ace bandage for a tired jogger, Jim?

Scott Bush is presently with the U.S. Gov ernment Department of Commerce in Washington, D. C. Don DeVoe's line of work is manufacturing. He resides out in Edina, Minn., near Minneapolis. Owen Fiss is an Associate Professor of Law at the University of Chicago. When Ron Kabot isn't following the Lakers and the Warriors around he's busy working for Haskins and Sells out in Los Angeles. Carl Schulz is living out in Springfield, Ill., where he is the regions manager for the Chicago Title and Trust Company. From what I can gather, Erwin Butler is teaching law in a special program down at the University of Puerto Rico, Is there any special research on bikinis and the law of gravity? Dick Forster is a physician out in San Rafael, Calif. Steve Gould is still teaching down at Williston Academy in Easthampton, Mass. At last report, Mike Ivy was still a captain wtih the U.S. Army stationed down at Fort Campbell, Ky. And John McDonell is a lieutenant working for the Navy Department down in Washington D. C.

A few remaining tidbits: Lefty Cline is still living out in Mercer Island, Wash. John Cocco is a major at the United States Air Force Dispensary in Vietnam where he is an Internist and Chief of Professional Services. Dave Duclos is in manufacturing down in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Wayne Skeen is currently out in Winnetka, Ill., where he is serving as manufacturer's representative for Lebanon, N. H., based Profile Ski Wear. That's about it.

Some of this news is rather sketchy, so come and fill us in on it at Reunion. Those of you who absolutely, definitely can't make it, let me know and I'll make sure you're with us at Reunion on paper as part of my final column.
