1954

This was another colorful and exciting "Indian Summer" for those of us fortunate enough to watch Bob Blackman's Indians on the warpath. My scouts report seeing a whole host of '54's at the Harvard scalping. Among those accounted for were Charlie Morrison, Art Keleher, Dave Metz, Dan McCarthy, Jim Adams, Jay Davis, Jim Love, Doug Smith, Bill Robbins, and Tom Corcoran.

The following weekend at Yale proved to be more of a close shave than a scalping. There was a considerable gathering of the faithful at the '54 section of the Dartmouth tent before the game. On hand were Wallyand Eleanor Anderson. Wally is an assistant treasurer with the Chase Manhattan Bank and can be found floating ship loans at the 25 Broadway branch in lower Manhattan. The Andersons, including sons Richard, age 9, and David, age 2, are in the process of looking for new lodgings now that the isolation gap which they enjoyed in their Staten Island home has been bridged. Dave Mandelbaum chose the occasion of the Yale game to introduce his boys, Timmy and Jamie, to the Big Green team. Dave was recently elected a director of the University Settlement Society of New York. This noteworthy agency, which provides substantial social services to the needy of Manhattan's Lower East Side, was just allocated a sizeable sum by the federal government to wage its war on poverty. Dave's experience in collecting class dues should come in handy here.

Also spotted at Yale cliff-hanger were Jerry Goldstein, Dick Page, Danny Neiditz, Dick Trowbridge, Pete Kenyon, Joe Mesics, Bob Higbee, Bill Rex, and Ev Rattray.

The sight of Pete Gutlon displaying a Dartmouth toilet seat was the biggest attraction in the Bowl parking lot. Pete, vice president of Barton's, a Providence, R. I. children's furniture manufacturer, had a trunkload of sample furniture using a new cloth and acrylic finish. Pete has made up a whole line of attractive furniture with a Dartmouth motif which Dick Fowler is promoting at the Dartmouth Co-op. Last month's ALUMNI MAGAZINE carried an ad featuring Pete's new product.

A more traditional aspect of the Yale game was Ed and Mary Lou Winnick's party held afterwards at their striking Woodbridge home. This was the sixteenth year that Ed has hosted this post game gala and as usual there were a good number of 54's at the festivities. Among those partaking of drink and delicious food was MikeSpicer. When not otherwise engaged in putting the finishing touches on his new Lawrenceville, N. J., home, Mike can be found busily engaged in the practice of law in nearby Princeton. Another attorney present, George Graboys, house counsel for U.S. Finance Corp., a Providence factoring concern, reported that Tony Migliaccio is his neighbor in Barrington, R. I., and that Tony has quite an active surgery practice. WayneWeil was on hand at the party, too. Wayne is one of those in charge of "exploitation" for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. This sounds like a subversive activity but translated from the movie lingo, it means that Wayne supervises the advertising of M-G-M's new films around the country.

News from the academic and professional fields is substantial this month. MickeySloane has left the University of Washington to become a research assistant professor in psychology at the University of Illinois in Urbana. Don Miller has become chairman of the English department at Holland Hall School in Tulsa, Okla. Previously Don served in a similar capacity at St. Mary's-in-the-Mountains in Littleton, N. H. Also teaching English this year is Capt. JohnPratt at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. The most distant bit of educational news concerns Frank vanAalst who has been appointed to the faculty of the University of Rajasthan in Jaipur, India. Frank will be teaching history.

Lyon Greenberg was among a select group of U.S. Air Force reserve doctors who attended a recent conference at Cocoa Beach, Fla., concerning liaison between the U.S.A.F. and major medical colleges throughout the U.S. The highlight of the conference was a tour of the facilities at Cape Kennedy. Lyon, a former Air Force flight surgeon, practices in Albany, N. Y., where he and wife Marcia reside. Leaving active duty in the service for civilian medical practice are Kay Wolff and John Herrmann. Ray, who was stationed at the 328 th U.S.A.F. Hospital at Richards-Gebaur Air Force Base in Missouri, is now living in Clayton, Mo. John has returned to Washington, D. C., where, while in the Army, he served at Walter Reed Hospital.

From surgical we turn to liturgical. Word reaches us from the St. Ann's Paulist Fathers in Boston that Rev. George Fitzgerald has been named Chaplain at Tufts University. Also from the Bay State comes word that Rev. Dave Ellms has been appointed curate of St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Barnstable. Rev. James Colby has been transferred from his post in Ethiopia to a new position in London.

There's also much news of interest in the business world to report this month. Lo-YiChan has just opened an office for the practice of architecture at 80 West 40th St., in New York City. Previously Lo-Yi was with the architectural firm of I. M. Pei. Don MeCuaig has been transferred by Standard Oil of N. J. from their Yokohoma, Japan office to 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City where he serves in the treasurer's department.

Up in the Green Mountain State '54's are on the go. Jim Stead has moved from Stowe to Montpelier, where he has been appointed sales manager of the Reddy Company. FredHolland was recently promoted to assistant sales manager of the Butterfield Division of U T D Corp. in Derby Line, Vt. Formerly Fred was northeast district manager for the corporation. Mort Galper has left Peterborough, N. H., and now resides in Framingham, Mass., where he has been appointed director of corporate planning by the Computer Control Company. While on the subject of computers, it is appropriate to report that Clint Gaylord, an industrial engineer for IBM, has been transferred from Vestal, N. Y., to Boulder, Colo. Dick Krimm, who had been general manager of the Charles R. Krimm Lumber Co. in Williamsport, Pa., has been named chief of the Division of Agents and Brokers for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

The glad news echoing from the hills of Stowe, Vt., is that Herb and Ann Hillman had a son on August 15. With young James joining ranks with his three older sisters, it looks as though the Hillmans are going to have to build an annex for the Golden Eagle Motel. It was a happy August too for BobWhite who married Delda Coe Herrick in the First Methodist Church of Harvard, Ill.

It is fitting to end this column and this year on a happy note since 1965 was good year for 1954. During the year innumerable promotions, marriages, and births were reported in this column. May the coming year prove to be as happy and prosperous and column filling as the past. Season's greetings to all!
