1957

Hey '57's, still feel young? Still remember those good times in Hanover? Winter Carnival, Green Key, cold winter mornings and then warm spring afternoons; late nights with the books and long afternoons in the labs, a quick trip to Golfside or a flick at the Nugget; intramural sports and fraternity parties, the Daily Dartmouth, dining at Thayer Hall or Hal's, Mack's, or Lou's, etc.; hour exams and Great Issues; Baker Library, Dartmouth Row, and the Hanover Scene? It seems just like yesterday or maybe last year. The fact is that in 15 months the Class of 1957 will return again to Hanover for its 15th Reunion. Feel a little older now? Well, Ben Bixby is going to make us all feel younger again as he plans the 15th for the class. As Reunion Chairman, Ben, will have a monumental task organizing the activities and planning the weekend. He can use help and ideas. If you have either please write directly to Ben. His address is: 309 South Main Street, Bradford, Mass. 01830. By starting early, I'm sure the Reunion will be well planned and fun for all. Good luck, Ben!

Early in February I saw Chuck Schroeder in New York. He was in town for the 3rd Annual Institutional Investors Conference being held at the New York Hilton. Chuck is associated with the Miami Corporation in Chicago. Another classmate from Chicago, Quigg Porter, has been named a vice president in the Trust Department at The Northern Trust Company. He joined the Bank's Trust Department in 1958 after Tuck School and was named assistant secretary in 1962, and second vice president in 1966. Quigg is a member of the Midwest Pension Conference. He resides in Northbrook, Ill., with his wife, Joan and their three daughters.

Joe Stevenson was recently in Aspen, Colo., and visited Peter and Ruth Stone. They own and operate the Prospector Lodge in Aspen. Any and all 1957's are encouraged to contact the Stones if you are planning a Western ski trip. While in Denver, Joe saw Don Burkhardt. Don is an attorney with Grant, Shafroth, Toll & Mettendrie in Denver.

When March rolls around each year, the class members know that the following month is the Alumni Fund Kick-Off. Skip Kerr and his army are well prepared to serve the fund again this year. Why not make their job a little easier by getting in on the "57 Blitz." Remember to contribute in the first few days of April and the class will be off to a fine start. The College deeply appreciates your support.
