1959

As if Dick Jaeger doesn't have his hands full with his duties in the college admissions office, he is also starting his sixth year as a member of the Mascoma Valley Regional School Board, and his election after only four years in town has apparently set some kind of local record as it is unusual for Orange (New Hampshire) townspeople to elect a relative newcomer to anything so quickly. Dick has been working for the College ever since he gave up an English teaching job in White Plains, N. Y. when offered a spot in the admissions office nine years ago. And he doesn't miss the city at all as he says it takes about as long to travel the twenty-two miles to Hanover as it did the few blocks to work in suburbia. Sounds good, Dick, but what happens when it snows?

Bruce McInnes is probably the first one of us to attend a twentieth reunion of anything, and as a dignatary at that—he gave an organ recital this summer at a gathering of the Cathedral School (New York City) class of 1951. Where did those twenty years go? Bruce, who holds a master of music degree from Yale, is assistant professor and director of choral music at Amherst College and has been the college organist since 1964.

Wanted: a copy of our Freshman Greer. Book—mine never made it through senior year, and having a copy to consult when writing this column would be helpful, I would appreciate hearing from anyone willing to part with his edition.

Dr. Jim Longcope participated in a program sponsored last spring by the Nashoba (Mass.) High School Guidance Department in an effort to better under, stand today's youth. Jim's topic was the "Physiological Development of Adolescent and their Emotional Implications" and his point was that today's young people are maturing faster and better educated, thus preparing them to participate within society earlier than it is prepared to accept them. This frustration helps make the teenage period the most difficult one in life aside from that of being the parent of a teenager. Well said, Jim. His insight into this dilemma is no doubt due to his position as family physician on the Emerson Hospital staff, and perhaps having a teenager in the family.

Tim Crane has been elected a vice president in Manufacturer Hanover Trust's corporate trust department. After graduation, he attended New York University, joining the bank's management program in 1959 when he was assigned as section head in bookkeeping, transferred to corporate trust as an administrative clerk in 1960. and was elected an assistant trust officer in 1963 and assistant vice president in 1968. (That's a good, steady upward pace.)

The Class is saddened to learn of the Reverend Frank Spitzer's passing. His obituary appears in the In Memoriam section of this issue or a later one.

Dave Gavitt has been appointed athletic director of Providence College after serving as head basketball coach there for the past two years. Dave has had an enviable record in coaching, having been named New England Coach of the Year in 1968 while at Dartmouth, and again in 1970 at Providence, thus making him the first person to win the honor at two different colleges. Active in all aspects of the game, he is a member of the National Association of Basketball Coaches and currently chairman of its membership committee, and also vice president of the New England College Basketball Coaches Association. Dave, Julie and their two sons, Daniel and Corin, live in Rumford, R. I.

Now is the time to heed Treasurer BillDuggan's call for class dues. He will appreciate a prompt response and the class will collectively appreciate your taking an extra five minutes to jot down some current news on the dues notice and sending it along with your check.
