1933

Happy St. Patricks Day - even though you may be reading this a few days after the festive occasion for the "wearing of the Green." I might better wish you a Happy and Early Spring (starting officially March 21) as these notes are being typed on Ground Hog Day (February 2) and the forecast fortunately is for less than six more weeks of winter weather, according to the Punxsutawney, Pa., Ground Hog Club. Good luck wherever you are!

Lorrin Riggs has been named a recipient of the 1974 Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award of the American Psychological Association, the highest honor given research psychologists. The Edgar J. Marston Professor of Psychology at Brown, he won the award for his research in the nature of the visual process. Most recently, he has been collecting data on the relationship between human perceptions of color and form, noting the relationship of linear and color perception. Hence the lines with which he is pictured here.

George Rideout, in addition to being president of the Roger Babson Foundation, chairman of the board of Gordon College, and vice president of the New England Baptist Hospital, continues to be in demand as a speaker for a variety of groups on the lecture and inspirational circuit.

Along with Seasons Greetings, word has come via Jud Pierson from Charlie and GeneClark of their busy and satisfying world. For five weeks last summer they drove 4,500 miles in England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. After their return they visited their three married daughters, Carolyn, Judy, and Nancy and their families in Houston, Denver, and Albuquerque respectively. Charlie is governor nominee of the largest district in Rotary International with 70 clubs and 4,000 members to visit during his governorship beginning July 1. A training period in Florida next May will be followed by the Rotary International convention in Montreal.

Charlie also sings with the Rotary Men of Note and is helping plan a Rotary Group Study Exchange program. Other activities include the board of directors of the Oklahoma Society for Crippled Children, Easter Seal chairman, and a book study group. For Gene it's PEO, Rotary Ann board, book reviewing, a course in Stretch 'N Sew and Assistance League of Tulsa.

I am happy to report, based upon a recent check with Bill Lang, as chairman of the nominating committee, that we are on schedule for action by the nominating committee in presenting a slate including a nominee for class president, for Randy Valensi's replacement on the executive committee and for additional executive committee members, to the executive committee for their action hopefully about the time you are reading these notes. The results will be confirmed to the executive committee and reported to the Class-at-large as soon thereafter as is feasible.

We are pleased to note that Jim McFarland is a member of the steering committee for Citizens for a Strong Energy Program, a bipartisan group urging a strong energy policy on the president and the congress.

News from class members continues about as limited as the reported snow conditions at most of the eastern ski areas. How about taking time to write!
