Although Henry Kauffman may attribute the bull market to lower interest rates and signs of recovery, the Journal reports another possibility Ed Snook. It seems the bears are running scared now that the former Outland Trophy candidate will bless Solomon Brothers with his orthodontistry. Looking suave and sophisticated in his pinstripe suit with matching hip pads, Ed plans to infest Wall Street with general good humor, in much the same way as his predecessor, Franco Sedan.

Additionally, Judy Roitman recently returned to Hanover to help celebrate ten years of coeducation. She spoke about her current career as a union organizer.

Here are my final wedding announcements: Arthur Pearson is engaged to Barbara Harris; a summer wedding is planned. Bill Hunt is engaged to Cynthia Thompson. Bill is completing his doctoral research in neuroscience at Dartmouth. Perhaps he examined the skull of Mike Gallegher, who continues to play rugby for the Old Green, despite his age and condition.
