1922

Mr. and Mrs. Theodore A. Bartlett of Swampscott, Mass., have announced the engagement of their daughter, Beverly Ann, to Herluf V. Olsen Jr. Miss Bartlett is a graduate of Colby Junior College. Olie Jr., a graduate of Dartmouth, is now in residency at Lowell General Hospital completing the course of Hospital Adminstration from the University of Minnesota.

Harvey Moses is a member of the board of trustees of the Wesson Maternity Hospital in Springfield, Mass., and serves the hospital also as assistant treasurer.

Just before reunion time last June, I received a fine letter from Hardy Ferguson. He bemoaned the fact that he could not include reunion in his plans for he could think of nothing more pleasant to contemplate than a chance to renew old friendships. Unfortunately, Hardy has been troubled for nearly 20 years by multiple sclerosis. In his letter he brought me up to date. In 1927, he and Lucile Ward of Aurora, 111.,, were married and in the following year were presented with a daughter, Ann Ward. Ann was graduated from Skidmore last June and, by now, has completed her training and qualified as a registered nurse. After having been engaged in the paper industry and later in the wire industry, Hardy eventually joined his father (Dartmouth '89) to take part in the business end of his dad's consulting engineering firm. That firm was terminated recently when Mr. Ferguson decided to retire, so that Hardy's most recent chore has been to help with the many details of liquidation. Hardy and Lucile live at 15 Elm Place, Hastings-on-Hudson.

Dave Angell '51 is in his first year at McGill Medical School. Nancy Angell is a junior at Skidmore. This is the year Bill serves the Vermont State Medical Society as president.

Bob Booth's son Tom '54 has enlisted in the paratroopers. He is stationed presently at Breckenridge, Ky.

Gray Bates would rank high in any listing of persons conscious of their civic duties. His most recent venture in the field of help to others has been as a volunteer Red Cross Aide in his local hospital. Gray's son Alan made an excellent record at MIT and is now working for Union Carbide and Carbon Corporation at Paducah, Ky. He found the girl of his liking in Tennessee and married her last June. Gray and Dot returned from the wedding barely in time for reunion.

Last fall New York papers carried the news of the election of Steve Kenyon as vice president of the firm Lennon & Mitchell.

Betty Litchfield is a sophomore at Denison University, Granville, O. She is a music major and is making an enviable scholastic record. Betty was one of 25 elected to the school's freshman scholastic honorary society. All of which probably pleases Dick, as it should.

Jack Taylor Jr. has received his release from the Navy and has resumed his studies at the University of Virginia.

In a recent issue of a California paper, a picture of Rev. Hiram. B. Crosby Jr. accompanied the story of the dedication of the new chapel and social hall of the Los Altos United Church.

One of Bill Mann's recent assignments was to serve on the arrangements committee for the four-day meeting of nine economic and allied social groups that was held in Boston for some 2000 of the nation's leading economists. Bill is in the regional office of the Department of Commerce. Last June, he and Betty with son John made a trip to England. It was an opportunity for Betty to visit her family and for Bill to have a much needed rest to recuperate from the illness that prevented his attendance at reunion.

Although plagued with ill health from childhood, Arthur Norton's son Bill has managed to keep abreast of his studies and will graduate from Bayside (N. J.) High School near the top of his class. He expects to enter college, preferably Dartmouth, in the fall.
