1954

I am writing this column in the beginning of May for you to read in the end of June. This unfortunate early deadline makes it impossible for the column to cover the 25th reunion, which many of you will have attended. You will have to wait for the reunion issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE to read about the hoards of classmates that invaded Hanover in June. Sorry about that, but it's one way of making you look for the next issue.

The Darien Review in Darien, Conn., informs us that John Heston is supplementing his advertising work with church lectures. John was the feature speaker at an adult education hour at the Congregational Church in Darien where he lives with his wife Betty and three children. Cindy attends Connecticut College and Laurie and Bill attend Darien public schools. According to the Darien Review, John is the senior vice president and international management supervisor of Ogilvy and Mather Advertising Agency. John manages the American Express Company advertising in the United States and in 24 other countries. He also handles the advertising for the Marriott Hotels and does public-service work for the Museum of Natural History. John joined Ogilvy and Mather in 1961 after five years with N. W. Ayer in Philadelphia.

Rollie Haynes has been appointed to the newly created position of senior vice president of Dead River Company in Bangor, Maine. Rollie continues as the company's treasurer.

The Campaign for Dartmouth Committee has announced the new appointments of area chairmen and co-chairmen. Included in the list were Pete Ankeny, Don DesCombes, Pete Johnson,Tom Kelsey, Charlie Morrison and GeorgeVoss. Our class obviously is well represented in leadership positions in the Campaign.

The activities of George Graboys's family are getting to be a media event in Providence. Lois Graboys was recently written up in the Brown Alumni Magazine for her activities as an artist and art consultant to industry, and also on the front page of the Providence Sunday Journal because of her volunteer effort with the Providence dog pound. Lois was praised for her activity in fostering more interest in overcoming the inhumanity shown to pets by both bureaucracy and owners. Not to be outdone by his wife, George has got his share of deserved recognition. It wasn't enough for George to encourage the Ocean State Marathon as president of the sponsor, Citizen's Bank, but George ranand finished the 26-mile course. He was bolstered through the last six miles by son Ken, who joined him for his run to the finish line!

Thanks to Dick Barker's dues notes, we've caught up with Sheldon White in Westport, Conn. Sheldon's oldest daughter, Susan, was married this fall, and his daughter Kathy is in her second year of attendance at the University of Maine.

In the years of writing this column and the newsletter, I always found that I never had to worry about there being no news. I could always count on finding an article about Jonathon Moore somewhere in some magazine or newspaper somewhere in the country. I recently had the opportunity to spend some time with Jon at the Institute of Politics at the Kennedy Government Center at Harvard. I can now better understand why you hear so much about him. It was a fascinating experience to see Jon in his natural habitat, involved in the lives of the many government officials who have participated in the learning and counseling at the Institute of Politics. It appears to me that Jonathon Moore's career is dedicated to bringing the decision-makers of government together in a non-pressured environment where they can exchange ideas with people from many different disciplines, and help to develop their Philosophies, which have such a great influence on the lives we all lead. As director, Jon has created a unique position for himself in the world of government. I'm sure we'll see more of him as an activist in the future. Thanks, Jon, or being the subject of ten years of columns.

I am sorry to report the death of Dr. JeromePearlman on February 3. Jerry left Dartmouth to complete his medical education at Northwestern University. He subsequently distinguished himself as an ophthalmologist and as an associate professor in the Department of Ophthalmology at UCLA. A more detailed obituary will appear later. Our heartfelt condolences to his wife Margaret and son Joshua.

This column marks the retirement of the current executive committee of the Class. DavidMandelbaum has provided aggressive and capable leadership as president for the last five years, aided by the capable executive committee of Dick Barker, treasurer; BobMcCartney, newsletter editor; Steve Mullins, heat agent; and committee members, Pete Barker, Bob Berry, Phil Christophe, John Gillespie, Dave Gleason, Pete Kenyon, Ed Kidd, Bob Levine, Jim Love, Art Rauch, and Howdy Russell. This column also concludes my ten years as newsletter editor and class secretary. Over this period of time I have written so much about so many of you that I feel as though I know all of you and all your families personally. You are a great group to know. I hope you've enjoyed the ten years of musings as much as I've enjoyed writing them.
