C lass Notes Editor’s Note

20 --------------

As those of you in classes that have secretaries already realize, we use one official mailing each year to obtain news, which will be in the FALL magazine. SPRING magazine Class Notes are taken from reunion, holiday, and phonathon news, the flap on the Annual Giving remittance envelope, and the “Grapevine” on the inside back cover. Although the news might seem “old,” we have found that most people love to read news whenever. This time lapse is unavoidable, as the processing of Class Notes from secretary to Alumni Office to classmates to secretary to Alumni Office to typesetter to printer covers a 14 to 16 week period! Please remember that you can send a note to your class secretary or to the Alumni Office anytime. To those of you whose class has no secretary, how would you like to volunteer? The job has been simplified to the point that you will probably find it downright enjoyable! It is no exaggeration to say that the position of class secretary, like that of class agent and reunion chairman, is absolutely essential to the vitality of the school. Please consider it.

Julia Hawkins Miller received a long, newsy letter from Jeannette Thylor. Excerpts: “If you have heard from Jesse (Thylor Drew ’31), you know that I live in England. I never married....I came over here during the war, working as a librarian for the Office of War Information, and when that job ended, stayed on as librarian for a semi-British govt, department, the Medical Research Council. When I retired, I and my flat-mate moved down to a very small village in Somerset. We own a tiny farm...have two tenant farmers....We love the rural life and being part of this village community. “I have been back to the States occasionally, but not since 1982, and I don’t believe I’ll manage it again. But we’re in close touch. “I loved the book about the early days of the Academy and Kimberley. It was a wonderful reminder of the past.” It was Naomi Bruce, long in touch with Jeannette, who sent on Julia’s request for news of old classmates. Jimmy Morris Munoz also wrote: ‘‘Carolyn Jones Ferguson spent a week with us [in La Jolla, Calif.] in March...we have kept in close touch over the years. Bob and I celebrated our 60th wedding anniversary last April. Our two sons, four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren visit frequently.” Everyone praised Julia for taking up the pen as class scribe! MA Lt. Cmdr. Alden W. Smith Penury Priory, Temple, NH 03084 From Homer Whitmore: “As I approach 83 in December I often recall (Headmaster) Walter D. Head’s advice to “Think it but don’t say it.” Homer recalled Dr. Head’s kindnesses during and after WWII.

Elias J. Marsh M.D. ’32 received the Clifford W. Beers Award at the 75th anniversary celebration of the C. W. Beers Guidance Clinic (Conn.) in November 1988. “Dr. Marsh has distinguished himself as a leader in the quest for the provision of communitybased mental health services for the children and youth of Connecticut.” Dr. Marsh majored in anthropology and archaeology at Harvard, and spent 1936-41 working on archaeological sites in Lebanon and Syria. He graduated from Yale Medical School and then specialized in psychiatry and child psychiatry. He had a 25-year career directing the state’s community mental health and child psychiatry programs, and was chairman of the task force which led to the founding of the Connecticut Department of Children and Youth Services. Now semi-retired, he still sees a few private patients and continues his interest in history. Dr. Marsh and his wife, Harriet, have two children, who both followed in their father’s profession: Claire is a psychiatrist and Kenneth, a medical social worker.

Thank you to Ruth Powers Shaugness, who is “retiring” after many years as class secretary. Ruth was an enthusiastic 50th reunion chairman, who spent much time and effort personally contacting classmates for the golden reunion. “I’d like to put in a plug for the wonders of modem medicine,” writes Janet Watkins Cook, “as I am now the happy recipient of a total knee replacement and two cataract removals with corrective lens implants that have given me 20/20 vision. There’s life in the ‘old girl’ yet!” Margaret McGregor wrote that in January she was embarking on a ‘Round the World cruise “which will take more than 80 days” ! MA Mr. W illiam J. Thompson 36 Hawthorne Place (ilK, Montclair, NJ 07042 Helen and Dave Stanley spent much of the year visiting family and friends all over the country, touring Alaska and cruising the Mediterranean.

Vardy Laing wrote two final exams and took an oral for his MA in history the week he turned 75! The degree will be awarded in June; congratulations! He spent three weeks in January in the Canary Islands, and plans to celebrate his 50th reunion from McGill Ui )3 (Medicine) in September. Our condolences to the family of John D. Sylvester, who as “Johnny Sylvester” lives on in baseball lore.

Structurally the school we attended no longer exists; hence it was only fitting to tour the “new” school.

Last summer, he took a drive cross-country with a friend from college. On his return, driving through Tfexas, David collided with a van and was killed Instantly. The following lines are an attempt to recall a young Academy alumnus of unusual personal gifts. ‘green and golden’ I will remember David crossed docksiders long sprawling from beneath the desk shock of brown wavy hair and wry/shy smile skeptical do you really think fitzgerald meant ‘ferry cross the metsey’ tall standing in the front hall for the last time wow three dogs maddie and katie back and forth scrambling over bare legs jack-knifed sam darkly sniffing brownly muscular calves bemused disillusioned looking for a new job they weren’t doing what they could/should failing streams and ponds and marshlands and earth green shirt on a muddy princeton pitch gray afternoon in the mist marking out of the game the cogsville titan in white anger and frustration exploding off the backs of David’s legs tango templets and circles rebounding from the ragged sod flying into the sky a golden card against the gray glinting off clotted boots aux trois bandes d’or I will remember David ‘green and golden’ in the misty gray in the muddy boots ‘green and golden’ on the holy field john m noble
