You know who is in charge of figuring out what moppets like to wear? Or at least what their mothers will buy? None other than bachelor Don Smith, who heads up the market research department for Carter's, world famous manufacturer and purveyor of kids' knitwear, sleepwear and other apparel. Don is back in Beantown, after a succession of marketing posts in the East and Southeast.

One New York educator who isn't having trouble with student demonstrations these days is Dick Greene, director of educational services of Strategic Systems Institute, which specializes in teaching clerical workers how to get along with the computer. Dick's sophisticated teaching programs find a ready market in Wall Street, where the paperwork jam-up still abides. Strategic Systems, says Dick, does just about everything in the computer area except hardware; this means data centers, time-sharing, sipftware services - plus Green institute. Dick, Joan, and their three offspring live in Manhattan.

Dr. Malcolm Moss has just been elected president of the Dartmouth Club of Bergen County, N. J. His first act was to post GusAllen for delinquent dues, according to a highly unreliable informant.

Not too long after graduation, GeorgeJacobus took note of his surroundings and determined he was (a) in Air Force blues and (b) in Big Spring, Texas. A lesser man would have sought solace, if not oblivion, at the barroom rail. Instead, George married Libby Jones and, by way of demonstrating the general superiority of Dartmouth men as husbands, built a house in his spare time. An eager buyer appeared, more houses were built, and before you could say "three baths and a two-car garage," George was the biggest home-builder around. Exiting from the Air Force, he hooked up with an old pal and together they became the number one home-builder in Fort Smith, Ark., accounting for roughly 800 houses. George then turned his energies to recreational homesite development and is now in the midst of developing 5,000 acres surrounding Greer's Ferry Lake, a new 35-mile-long, man-made lake in the Ozarks. George's company is called Fairfield Bay, Inc., and if you've been hankering to have a place on the lakeshore where you can water ski for 182,000 feet without turning, George is your man.

Doug Cassel has departed Pasadena for Detroit, where he is in Du Pont's district sales office. Doug's specialty is pigments, so the color styling of Motown's multi-hued four-wheel products will presumably be Doug's prime responsibility.

Bay Yee isn't merely the name of a classmate, it's the name of a company. Bay K.C. Yee & Co. was formed a year ago in Honolulu to offer a broad range of business consulting services. A unique feature of the operation is that after the consulting job is done, Bay hangs right in there to implement his recommendations. His broad experience, which includes Stanford Research Institute, McWayne Marine Supply, Janss-Hawaii Corp. and Oceanic Properties' Mililani Town, has been successfuly applied to many Hawaiian enterprises, particularly in land economics services. Right now Bay is working on a top quality condominium in Maui. Right now, peering through the Manhattan murk, that sounds like a good idea.
