1954

August 1950: We came to the Hanover Plain with some trepidation, up two-lane highways, from all four corners of the country. Bill Rodgers from Maine, JoelWertheim from Florida, Leo Murphy from southern California, and Fenn Shrader from Washington State. Freshman trips, beanies and name tags, carrying furniture and "'54 out" beckoned. It was a different world. We entered a new adventure.

Odds and ends (some old news): Larry Martz has left Newsweek after 32 years to become editor of the World Press Review, a publication that reprints pieces from the international press to give Americans an indication that there are other points of view.

John Fenn has retired as chief of staff of the Yale-New Haven Hospital after 42 years. (He worked at the hospital during his Dartmouth summers.) An anonymous donor established the &400,000 John E. Fenn Endowment Fund to provide seed money for clinical practices in the laboratory to honor John.

The Berlins spent the Fourth of July with die Mullens in Evanston, Illinois. Check page 308 of the 40th Reunion cookbook for Steve s Red, White and Blue drink. After a couple of rounds it becomes white, blue and red (I think). Steve's pyrotechnics (legally bought) are Evanston's best. Carol enjoyed the display immensely.

Don Berwick has not wandered tar from the Hanover Plain. He walks to work (B&S Leasing) from his home in Plainfield, N.H., just down the road from Hanover on Route 12 A.-If you have been in Hanover for Alumni College and viewed the Shriner Parade you've seen Don in one of the lead cars. He is longtime general chairman of the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl football game held in Hanover each August. Earlier this year Don received one of the Shriners' highest honors when he was installed as potentate of Bektash Temple, or leader of the Shriner state head-quarters in New Hampshire.
