Cathy McGrath is not proud to have missed a class of '80 column. Weddings and such continue to dominate the news. A bespectacled and beaming Bill Stewart is the proud husband of Anne Sheehan Stewart. Bill is pursuing a master's degree in engineering at Stanford.

What I want to know is whether American College has a football team? Can Dartmouth play against them? The team is not too proud to do that, is it? Also, is there an Unamerican College? What about an Amerika Kollege? Would it give unprofessional designations? (This feeble humor does not make me proud.)

Gaby Shear has joined IDS Advisory Group, a division of IDS Financial Services, as vice president and marketer. Gaby proudly possesses an M.B.A. from Harvard. She has worked at Paine Webber, Shearson Lehman Brothers', and Quantam Matrix Corporation. Can't you keep a job, Gaby?

Barb Ryan is at Chapel Hill doing graduate work in English. Barb is proud. I was supposed to promise not to tell who told me, but his initials are Todd Young. I ain't too proud to tell.

Laura Gold is proud to be married to Bruce Zimmerman. John Buse, once a proud Charlestonian, is married to Laura Raftery. Dave Teplow is proud to have Wendy as his wife. I will print more details as reports come in. Please write. I ain't too proud to beg.

In this year of 1987, when some of you will turn 30, and even older, and many of us will turn 29; when we must contemplate receding hair lines, smile lines that do not fade, sagging and expanding bodies, and two more years of Ronald Reagan, be proud.If not proud, be precocious and have an early mid-life crisis.

As for me, I be Wade. Take care.
