1958

The activities on Dartmouth Night and Yale weekend were highlighted by Sally Prescott's open house for '58s in Norwich, Vt., and the pregame gathering which Dave Bradley has Faithfully and generously hosted for so many years that it has become an institution. All enjoyed the Saturday dinner at the Lyme Inn arranged by Sally and Joe Jacquet. Also Class President John Graf skillfiilly conducted a fast-paced class meeting on Saturday. The wives apparently enjoyed the excellent shopping in Hanover, a feature not to be omitted in promoting a weekend trip to the College.

Make your plans to visit Hanover next fall when Dartmouth will play Harvard on October 27. Be sure to attend Dartmouth Night, where you will be charmed and energized by the youth, vigor, and enthusiasm of the undergraduates. It is a homecoming that makes one feel at home.

John McMillin has relocated to Dallas, Tex., with W. R. Grace. Friends can reach him at the office at 214/770-0210.

David Chisdes lives and works in Elizabethtown, Pa. He is in charge of the quality assurance laboratory of a plant own by M & M/Mars, Inc., where he is involved in the analysis of the chemical composition of ingredients for their products. David keeps fit by climbing the six flights of stairs in the elevator-less plant. He assuredly will live a long time since his father is going strong at 88 and David's children are 10 and 16. In-cidentally, David complimented JohnWhiteley on his skillful solicitation for the Alumni Fund.

John Armstrong and Skip Coggin are neighbors in Glencoe, 111. Skip tells me that John is still working hard and playing golf with enthusiasm. Skip also disclosed that John Blunt left Northern Trust after over 20 years and has established his own investment business. Skip continues as vice president and general manager of Williams Manufacturing in Elgin, 111., which manu- factures the Zenith chiropractic table, world's largest seller. About 10 percent of their sales are now in Japan, showing that one product has penetrated that difficult market. Skip is now a step-grandfather and has children in high school, college, and graduate programs.

F.P. "Skip" Raymond has one of the class's most interesting professions. He operates a sail-making company in Stamford, Conn. When I called for details, I was told he was at a boat show. Well, someone has to do it. Seriously, Hathaway Reiser & Ray- mond makes sails, masts and riggings for sailboats, 25 to 55 feet, LOA. Interesting work in a beautiful area. Skip Raymond's own sail boat has been used by the Dartmouth team in racing competition.

Visiting our parents recently in Harlan, lowa, my mom handed me a Dartmouth Glee Club program dated March 29, 1958, for the Omaha, Neb., concert. Among the memories it invoked was C. RobertThompson singing "One Girl" by Park Taylor '50 and Frank Logan '52. Bob captured the entire town that night. The Injunaires led by Hew Baldwin and PhilStoddart were equally sensational. The Glee Club for 1958 was warmly received wherever it performed. It is paired in my affection to the 1956 Club with Tom Marvel, John Wheatley, and the unforgettable Dean Sheldon. Eric Kunzel occasionally conducted.
