Nobody has written your secretary about what they did last summer, so it's back to birthdays. Thirty-two classmates were born in January 1935. Fred Abraham will be serenaded by his brass quintet at the Blueberry Brain Institute in Stowe,Vt. Professionally, Fred is "concerned with forces of conformity and exploitation, prejudice and hate, and their preferred counterparts of individuality, cooperation, respect, and love." Don Alexander will turn 50 in Indianapolis watching the displaced Baltimore Colts. In Bedford, Mass., attorney Win Bridge will celebrate his birthday looking for "great issues." GeorgeBrophy was mentioned in an earlier column as having taken over a company in Oshkosh, Wise.

In New York City Dick Burg will turn 50, as will Hugh Calder in Dallas. Tony Carleton, a third-grade teacher in Belmont, Mass., has the finest birthday present of all, "the satis faction and serenity in the life processes of parenting and teaching."

For some reason our January classmates are noncommunicative. We can note only the last known and perhaps current residence for Bob Cole in Beverly Hills, Bill Davies in New York City, Joslyn Demos in Media, Pa., and Francis Dineen in New Haven, Conn. The list goes on. Presumably Roy Dixon will turn 50 in Lexington, Ky., Bill Faunce in Ocean City, N.J., and Lee Ferguson in New York City. A previous column mentioned NormFiering as having accepted an appointment as director of the John Carter Brown Library in Providence, R.I. No new news is known about Phil Haslam in Framingham, Mass., Jim Hill in San Francisco, or Art Katz in New York City.

The class ayatollah, Doug Keare, will turn 50 at the World Bank in Washington. He has given up Southeast Asia for Latin America as his area of concentration. Now that he is so much older, we will all have to give him more respect. Len Kimball will "reach out and touch someone" on his birthday at NYNEX in Boston.

Arnold Kroll will turn 50 in New York, as will Tom Kuhns; the latter is an ophthalmologist as well as professor at New York University. Another physician, Myron Luria, will be honored on his birthday in Shaker Heights, Ohio. Somewhere in the world of theater, Paul Margulies will take a curtain call. Russ Mead will take time out from raising funds for others to accept their thanks on his birthday. Another professor and doctor is Neil Raskin, who teaches and practices neurology in San Francisco. The basketball team at a school in New Canaan, Conn., will honor teacher and coach Ed Scovner. JohnTamagni will take a day off from investment banking and hitting up classmates for the Alumni Fund in New York City.

Out in Los Angeles, Robert Taub, a physician, will be honored by his patients. DickTaylor, from his home in Danbury, Conn., will play the Alumni Fund futures market. Word has reached your secretary that FrankTerhune plans to bicycle 50 miles on his birthday in Dallas. Finally, George Tracy, who was last heard of in California but who may be in New York, paused in his unique career of integrating dance and theology to suggest that he "hopes now to move gracefully through middle age." Don't we all? And happy birthday!
