1953
A Class Executive Meeting was held recently in New York to discuss class organization and affairs. The committee selected Ed Boyle as Chairman of the class for the remainder of 1958, to be succeeded by Howie Clery until 1963. Ted Spiegel has been given the responsible job of Class Agent. Our congratulations and best wishes to these class officers who will guide our ship through the next five years of alumni life and achievement.
Announcement of things yet to come takes top billing.
... George Weston will join with Charlotte Fleury of Holyoke, Mass., in a September marriage. The bride-to-be is employed by Tecnifax Corp., Holyoke, in the sales statistics division. George is employed by the same firm and obviously had Charlotte's number in his statistical department.
... John Buchanan has announced his engagement to Caroline White of New York City. Caroline is a senior at Wellesley College, and John currently is in his second year at Harvard Medical School, having recently completed study at Exeter College, Oxford University in England.
... Hotel "lingo" brought Dick Davenport and Cynthia Tripp together. The future bride was graduated from Boston University College of Business Administration where she was a member of Kappa Omega sorority. She is currently associated with the Commodore Hotel in New York, while Dick is connected with the Old Chase House in West Harwich, Mass., in the summer and the Mid-Pines Club in Southern Pines, N.C., in the winter.
... John Rogers is gloating over the fact Fay Anderson of Rockport, Mass., said "yes." Fay graduated from the New England Deaconess School of Nursing in 1956 and is now employed as a nurse on private duty in Boston. John finished up three years in Naval Supply recently, and is now an employee of Peat, Marwick, Mitchell and Company in Boston. April is the target date for this nuptial.
... Fred Miller plans that the springtime will bring Betty Ann Kickmeyer into his roost. Betty Ann received her Bachelor's degree from Washington University in St. Louis and her Master's degree from Wellesley College. Both Fred and Betty Ann are with IBM in Poughkeepsie. Wonder where they met? In the statistical department?
... Dick Markey and Joan Ruth Hyman of Shaker Heights, Ohio, announce their engagement. Joan graduated from the University of Michigan where she belonged to Alpha Epsilon Phi. She is currently teaching at a junior high school in Cleveland, while Dick completes his study at Western Reserve University School of Medicine. June will hear the chimes ring for these two.
Wonder what the following were doing in Hanover in February:
Tom Fraser, John Zimmerman, and Bob Lonsbury. Was war los, meine Herren?

One by one we grow in number. Don and Dottie Bigham are overjoyed with their son Peter Ladd, 8 lb. 8 oz., born on December 18. Don says: "The little lad is doing fine and has earned his old gent's eternal thanks for arriving well before the end of 'deduction time' and just a few days before the start of our Christmas Harvard Business School vacation."
John Alger and wife watched the scales tip at an even 7 lbs. 7 oz. on January 14, when Sarah Ford Alger entered their family.
Al and Bobbie Davis report the birth of their son, Gregory Freeman, at 7:39 a.m., Monday, December 30, 1957 — just under the wire also. Al is finishing up his Ph.D. in History at University of Wisconsin while teaching part time.
Ralph and Mary Lou Heyman announce the arrival of the Babyland Express - and a fine new baby boy it left at their house Michael Cary, on February 8. Congratulations from us all to all of you!
Had a very interesting letter from John Bender recently which relayed the fact that he and Russ Henry were present and actively engaged in helping Jack Amerman and Jerry Thompson tie-the-knot in Gadsden, Ala. John writes:
I doffed the Navy blue as of October '56, after which I took up as accountant with the Chase Bag Company in their multiwall bag plant in Crossett, Ark. Was made officer manager in October '57. Alice and I now have three children - John, age three and a half, Patty is two and Tom is six months. We now owe ourselves to the Southern Federal Savings and Loan but it's wonderful to be in our own home. On other news Bayee married in Singapore and is living in Honolulu. Mouldy Confair and Dtanne are out of the Army now and working in Williamsport, Pa., bottling Seven-up, I presume. Jim Boen has his Doctor's degree in Chicago and is married. Jake Jacobus also got out of the Air Force and is now a construction engineer in Midland, Tex. Bob C hies a is now married and is after his law degree at Boston University. Spread the word that the door is open at 705 Hickory Street, Crossett, Ark., should anyone get off the beaten track and head down into this area.
Jack Tangerman pens a note from 624 Park Avenue, Wilmette, Ill., to let us know that he is working for the USASIPRE of the CE, more commonly known as the United States Army Snow, Ice, and Permafrost Research Establishment of the Corps of Engineers in Wilmette. Jack says, "this job enables me to avoid the Midwestern summer heat waves by traipsing off to Greenland (Thule area) in the summer for nearly three months. I guess no one ever reported the pride of my life, Kristin Scott, born in August 1956. Blonde like her Ma and Pa, but twice the personality."
"Pud" and Liz Harrison write that they now are the proud parents of two sons, a year and a half and six months. "Pud" is currently a Navy doctor, working with about 1000 marines at Camp Pendleton in southern California.
