1947

We've just returned from rain-soaked Hanover where the Big Green was outsplashed by UMass in the football opener. I hope by the time this gets into print both the weather and the scores have brightened considerably for Coach Crouthamel's men.

Meanwhile, back closer to home. Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co. haannounced the appointment of Emmet; Jergensen as director of agency costs in the Agency Division. He has also been designated, senior official of the company.

Belated congratulations are due Jeffrey Burch, second son of the Doug Burches, who has won the Nelson A. Demers scholarship of the New England Newspaper Advertising Ex- ecutives Association. Jeffrey is in his senior year at the University of Connecticut.

And from New Jersey, Ed Senghas writes daughter Dorothy has been appointed a teaching assistant in the Department of Modern Languages at the University of Michigan, where she is also a candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in French. She was graduated magna cum laude from Mount Holyoke College and received a Master of Arts Degree from Middlebury after studying a year at The Sorbonne, University of Paris. Her brother Robert is a freshman at Ramapo College in New Jersey.

Some guys have all the luck. Take Gerry Phillips, for instance. A good part of his job last year involved fighting to prevent the censorship of the motion picture Last Tango in Paris. After graduating from Tuck School, Gerry went to Cornell Law School. He is a partner in the firm Phillips, Nizer, Benjamin, Krim & Ballon since 1951 has served as counsel to United Artists Corporation which has involved litigation on matters of distribution of their motion pictures. An article in the Tuck School publication notes that our classmate is also counsel to the Committee of Copyright Owners, a group of motion picture companies and others which is seeking new copyright legislation to cover cable I vision- The board of directors of the Motion television Association of America also has elected Chairman of its Legal Committee.

The Class of '47 makes its presence known in sundry ways. If we're not taking time out to tango, may be having dinner in a Long island restaurant. Which is what Paul Heneganwas doing earlier in the year when he overheard a young man mention Hanover, N.H. Naturally, Panl introduced himself, struck up a Conversation and ended up being the subject of article in The Daily Dartmouth headlined He Shoved His Ring Into My Face and Yelled 47! It seems the conversation came around to R.O.T.C., which our classmate defended so convincingly that the unidentified undergraduate writer suggested in the article that Dartmouth students should have the right to choose whether or not they'd like to consider the armed forces as a profession.
