1954
There was big news this month from the "Black Rock" (New Yorkers' affections nickname for the CBS corporate offices at 51 West 52nd Street). Pete Barker was named chief financial officer of the CBS Fox Company, a joint venture between CBS and 20th Century Fox. The venture will include new cable activities, ties, the CBS Cultural Cable Channel home video activities, and the CBS Studio center. Pete will continue to be headquartered in New York City. Super news!
Pete has also been most helpful in supplying all sorts of tidbits of information which he forward to me for use in the column. He kindly furnished me an article from the Greenepaper on Barry Nova, vice president of U.S. Tobacco, who is chairing the 1982 Greenw Conn., Pro-Am Golf Tournament.
Hugh Nolin sent me a great color photograph graph showing the wedding party of his daughter, Lisa. She married Pete P. D. Tagge '78 recently in Southport, Conn. Lisa attend; Smith College (as did her mother) and met Peter at Dartmouth, where she spent her junior year. The class of 1954 was well represented, in addition to Hugh, Peter Geithner, John Heston, and Jack Christy were on hanc for that big Dartmouth wedding. Wish we could have had the picture printed in these pages for you, but color doesn't reproduce well enough
We were pleased to see that Art Geller's son Mark 'B4 won top honors in this year's student telethon effort for the Alumni Fund. Forur nights in mid-April, over 360 students shatpledges all previous records by soliciting 1,800 pledges totaling $lOl,OOO from alumni and parents for the 1982 fund; 50 phones had beer set up for the occasion in the Top of the Hop. Congratulations, Mark!

Here it is the first of May, the deadline for the June column, which will be the last one till next October. Due to printing and constraints, you probably won't get your jssue till the last week in October. Thus, although it is only the first of May, 1 think it 1 ould be expedient to run over some of the of what your class is planning this fall in the way of get-togethers in Hanover. For start-re both Vale and Harvard will be playing in H3nover this year. The Harvard game will be October 16 and will be in conjunction with Dartmouth Night. Our class will be hosting at vast three cocktail parties in the area over this Weekend, jo this would be a great time to head to Hanover. It will also coincide with the height of fall foliage in the Upper Valley, which would make the trip even more worthwhile. October 30 will bring the Yale football team to Hanover for another great game. Again, our class will be hosting a post-game cocktail partv (ay Chandler is also making elaborate plans tor a class get-together the weekend of the Princeton game this year. Complete details on these fall weekends will be reaching you in late summer.
Your class officers met in Hanover May 8 for Class Officers Weekend a pleasant assignment. Topics for discussion were our 30th reunion (June 1984 just two years away!), the class award program for 1982, and this year's Alumni Fund. Head Agent Peter Kenyon's bidden departure to London (for at least three years) left this year's fund program in limbo. George Voss and Bob Berry have once again risen to the occasion to join President Steve Mullins in completing this year's campaign. Suggestion: Take a load off those guys; don't wait for them to call you in July. If you haven't .ontributed yet this year, do it today!
This marks the end of my third year of writing the class column 25 columns to be exact, at this point. with another 1"6 to go. That's a lot of material! Next fall I look forward to your help in furnishing me with information about yourself or classmates. 1 really need your support to make this thing work. As my Aunt Mary passed away recently, I may have to regale you with the adventures of Sandy's uncle (a Yalie) on his recent train trip from Paris to Hong Kong via Russia. That should just about fill ten issues. . . . You have been warned!
Thank you for the nice notes, which were greatly appreciated, about the recent column that focused on the main events of 1932. I even had a letter from a '32 who encouraged his classmates to read the article!
