1950 to 1958Class Notes ArchivesPromotion '50 From November 1999 AALFNY Newsletter: ● Bernard Begue lives in Salt Lake City, Utah with his wife and four children; his mother, Mme. Louise Begue, taught at the Lycee in the 40’s and 50’s, later becoming a professor at Sarah Laurence. Bernard, an engineer, worked at U.S Steel, American Cyanimid, General Foods, and Abbot Labs, for 20 years. From March 2000 AALFNY Newsletter: ● Anne Benech Cirier nous envoit le bonjour de Belle-Ile-en-Mer (Bretagne). Veuve maintenant, ses 5 enfants sont tous en France. Elle est restée en contact avec Catherine Rocherolle Leportre (habitant au Connecticut), Francis Dognin (Paris), et Bernard Bégué (Salt Lake City). From February/March 2001 AALFNY Newsletter: ● Robert M. Gutchen attended the Lycée from 1947 until December 1948. During the 47-48 year, he was in the class of 2nde. Robert fills us in: "For a few years after leaving, I kept up contact with Georges Gourévitch, Jean Gerassi, Michel David-Weill and Sanche DeGramont, but long ago lost touch with them. Gourévitch went to Princeton as a researcher, Gerassi wrote books and articles on Latin America, DeGramont (who changed his name to Ted Morgan) is a prolific and successful writer, and David-Weill is a prominent banker. I went on to be a professor of History and research administrator at the University of Rhode Island; I am now retired, although I still do considerable consulting on research administration." From Winter 2003-2004 AALFNY Newsletter ●In Memoriam: From Bernard Bégué '50: “My good friend Alexis Kalioujny '50 (aka Alex Kalven) died last year. He fought for five years a rare and incurable blood cancer. Alex had a wife, Theresa, but no children.” ● Dorothy G. Barnhouse writes to us: “I just happened upon the website of the Lycée Français alumni organization and was pleased to read news of a few people I remembered, sad to not find news of so many! I was in 4eme ‘45 to ‘46, repeated the class ‘46-47 (I knew very little french when I entered) and then was in 3eme ‘47-48 . At the time, I believe that Kitty McGowan and I were the only two US Americans at the school. She and I are still in touch. Some of my other friends were Claudette Jobin, Jean-Pierre Radley, Philippe Guerlain, Georges Steiner. After leaving the Lycee, I finished high school in Toronto at Branksome Hall, then Radcliffe. After college I taught the 3 R's in Spanish at a small school in Tangier, Morocco where my students were semi-literate adults, refugees from Franco. Then I married a German and lived in Germany for about ten years where my twins were born; I studied voice at the Berliner Hochschule für Musik, and had a modest career as a mezzo-soprano soloist in Lieder and Oratorio. After divorce, I returned to the United States, lived near Boston for 6 years where I continued to sing, also taught languages and then was assistant head of the Arlington School, then of Milton Academy. I moved to San Francisco where I lived for 18 years, singing, teaching voice and languages for singers at the SF Conservatory of Music and the SF Community Music Center. In the '80's, (because I had spoken Spanish since childhood) I became involved with Central Americans who had come to the US fleeing the turmoil in Salvador and Nicaragua. This led me to spend time first in El Salvador working with human rights organizations, and eventually to move to Nicaragua where I lived ten years teaching. First I helped establish an English Department at the Agricultural College, and then gradually moved into doing music with small children in some of the poorest barrios of Managua. What began with my spending 1 hour a week with 8 little children expanded into a program in which I taught about 20 teenagers to teach music to children. Today there are about 400 children in about ten barrios and schools involved in Musica en los Barrios. Now I live in San Francisco again, near my son and his little girl, and teaching voice part time.» **DECES: From Bernard Bégué '50: “My good friend Alexis Kalioujny '50 (aka Alex Kalven) died last year. He fought for five years a rare and incurable blood cancer. Alex had a wife, Theresa, but no children.” ...................................................

The Lycee has meant so much to me in my lifetime. I got out of the fast-paced life of a TV new reporter to do something quieter, but with a great deal of meaning for me. I work in non-profit at the American Civil Liberties Union, and it has been fascinating. I also continue to dance competitively, for those of you who know of my rather insane passion. My two children are thriving, but I will let my daughter speak for herself if she so chooses, as she is also a Lycee alumna, class of 1988." ● DECES: Wendy (Kupsick) Sherman ('58) also wrote to us regarding Ariel Brun de Pontet, '58: "I see you are looking for information on my colleagues from the class of 1958.
