1958

David M. Chisdes announced that son Michael is going to be a big brother in September. Michael is seven. Victoria Grace is expecting for September delivery. In May, Dave became laboratory manager of the Elizabethtown plant of M&M/Mars. He had been working for three years in analytical methods development in Hackettstown, N.J., for the same company. David has moved about ten times during the last 18 years and has now returned to the same neighborhood in which he started in Lancaster County, where he can walk to work in 20 minutes.

The Alumni Fund is now in full swing. Our class record is distinguished, but in the early seventies it was hardly noteworthy. More than anyone else, Herb Swarzman put us on top. He came to Dartmouth as the littlest, youngest member of the class of 1958, a tiny, Jewish intellectual with big eyes and tremendous drive. After graduation, Herb made a little money, as they say. He has since devoted both money and much time to the service of Dartmouth. He was head agent while we began topping the charts. He then moved up to class president, in which role he organized and presided over a series of well-conceived class activities that stimulated interest, pulled diverse elements of the class together, and culminated in our delightful 20th reunion.

In bringing us together, Herb has benefited from the counsel of three other thoughtful, perceptive classmates. Ron Snow, head of the class nominating committee, and Mel Alperin and Bob Eleveld, major gift solicitors, have also served us exceptionally well. These men of high ideals are dedicated to the service of the College and the nation.

Now Walt Vail takes up the challenge of heading the Alumni Fund and Joel Portugal moves up to president after his superior service as head agent for the Alumni Fund. When they reach out to you, give them your best self, for the honor of dear old Dartmouth. People come and go and the institution changes, but the ideal remains ever before us. We work together in diverse ways to make Dartmouth the finest liberal arts college in the land.
