of the nomination of Keegan for <strong>University</strong><br />
trustee. This is certainly an honor for him<br />
and, indirectly, for the class. Let's get behind<br />
him!<br />
"Chuck Reynolds' class development committee<br />
is making great strides in the study<br />
and planning of a class project. Council<br />
members at the meeting agreed that we<br />
should push ahead on something dramatic<br />
as part of our 20th Reunion (only two<br />
years away) celebration. The goal must be<br />
realistic and, certainly, beneficial to the<br />
university and its students. Such an endeavor<br />
will require the support and hard work of<br />
all '49ers . . . and I'm convinced we can<br />
do it. You'll hear more about this."<br />
Special notice: any Forty-Niners returning<br />
to Ithaca this June for the off-year Reunion,<br />
please contact Don Geery about informal<br />
get-together or dinner arrangements.<br />
Severn Joyce (picture) has been appointed<br />
director of purchases for the Owens-Corning<br />

He will be located in<br />

Ohio.<br />
William H. Novak, 156 Jason St., Pittsfield,<br />
Mass., reports that he is still with the<br />
GE ordnance dept., doing design engineering.<br />
His family recently expanded to three<br />
boys and a girl. Don D. Ward is the manager<br />
of quality control for GE computer<br />
equipment dept. in Phoenix. Don admits<br />
that he is adjusting to all the sunshine<br />
slowly. His address is 5143 E. Calle del<br />
Norte, Phoenix, Ariz.<br />
<strong>News</strong> from Texas: Walt Boychuk is<br />
southwestern sales manager for Rachelle<br />
Labs in Dallas. Walt's family (including four<br />
girls) live at Slumber Corners, Weston,<br />
Conn. Oh, for the life of the commuter!<br />
Allen W. Smith, 111 Chestnut St., Lake<br />
Jackson, Texas, is starting up a new plant<br />
for Dow Chemical. He thinks Texas is great!<br />

This year Sylvia Hirschhaut Frank has<br />
taken the large and important job of New<br />
York metropolitan area chairman for the<br />
<strong>Cornell</strong> Fund Drive. In addition, she has<br />
started classes at Adelphi College's School<br />
of Social Work, and next fall will begin<br />
two years as a full-time student, which<br />
means three days of field work weekly plus<br />
two to five courses. Social work at home<br />
includes husband Bob, and the children, the<br />
youngest of whom will be entering junior<br />
high next year.<br />
Elaine Rosenfeld Cines lives a busy life<br />
in Florida, N.Y. She and Bob have two<br />
sons, Steven, 11, and David, 7, and a family<br />
clothing store. Along with helping in the<br />
store occasionally and her other community<br />
activities, Elaine became village librarian<br />
this past year, which means two<br />
afternoons of work plus lots of responsibility.<br />
There are other <strong>Cornell</strong>ians in the<br />
area and she writes of seeing Renee (Wolf)<br />
and Fred McKible in Newburgh, and Janet<br />
Sager Lloyd in Middletown.<br />
The cooking course I have been giving<br />
in Livingston Adult School is continuing<br />
this spring with a change of pace to main<br />
courses rather than desserts and, happily,<br />
a nicely enlarged enrollment. My co-instructor<br />
and I are hoping to expand further into<br />
daytime classes later this year. It is all quite<br />
exciting—and a little fattening.<br />
We have been having trouble at times<br />
with our mail delivery. If any of you have<br />
written and have not been included in the<br />
column, please send me another card.<br />

With the coming of May we have the end<br />
of school to look forward to and a beautiful<br />
summer in Ithaca to enjoy. Not to bore<br />
you with my personal life, but Doris and I<br />
are happy to announce the birth of our first<br />
son on St. Patrick's Day, March 17, when<br />
Steven Albert arrived upon the scene to<br />
complement our daughters Christine and<br />
Susan. We also became frustrated in our<br />
attempts to plan and build a home on<br />
some property we had purchased on a hill<br />
on the east side of Lake Cayuga and decided<br />
to delay this move for the present. We have<br />
purchased a home on the west side of Lake<br />
Cayuga on a hill overlooking the lake,<br />
<strong>Cornell</strong> <strong>University</strong> and Ithaca College campuses<br />
and Ithaca Falls, and are quite happy<br />
with our new home and its beautiful view.<br />
We look forward to our classmates visiting<br />
