SUMMER
1974 MARTHA SNYDER Retires
The American Graduate School of International Management has just
completed its most successful year. The School had an average enrollment of over
800 students, and these 800 students were admitted on a highly selective basis.
The Admissions Committee sticks closely to the 2.5 minimum grade point average
requirement and carefully evaluates the potential of all applicants for successful
international careers. At the moment we are projecting 800 students for the fall
semester selected from several thousand applications.
The summer school is now a regular semester and we assume this pattern
will continue. Currently about 550 students are enrolled. More and more students
are entering in the summer and more students are opting for the summer session
so they can graduate in one calendar year.
The School received financial support for capital improvements this past
year from such companies as Talley Industries~ Caterpillar, Motorola and Fire­stone.
As most of you know, our plan is to refurbish as many of the original
buildings as possible. This will retain the traditional Thunderbird image and will
also make the old dormitories, dining hall and office buildings more liveable. We
are still in nt.'ed of aUout $2,000,000 for such development. If you have any
suggestions as to possible contributors to this program, all of us would greatly
appreciate it.
We also need your help in finding able, internationally-minded students. The
School receives an increasing number of applications, but we continue to look
for outstanding candidates. We would appreciate anything you can do to influence
bright, young people toward international careers fostered by the Thunderbird
approach. ft is extremely important that we continue to graduate outstanding
students. The success of the School has depended on those who attended here.
ft is you who have made Thunderbird's reputation, and we must continue to
uphold your high standards.
Martha Snyder is retiring this year. I need hardly tell you what a great loss
she will be. Her contribution to the School and to the welfare of many alumni
has been outstanding. You have been informed of the Martha L. Snyder Scholar­ship.
We hope you will assist in this project so her good works will be long
remembered at the American Graduate School.

ADDRESSES GRADUATES
Mr. Jordan J. Crouch of Reno, execu­tive
vice president of the First National
Bank of Nevada, was commencement
speaker for the 191 graduating students
at the May 22nd exercises.
Crouch, a past president of the Bank
Marketing Association and president of
the Nevada Bankers Association, pre­dicted
that within the next 26 years
cancer would be conquered, the life
span increased and the new mass transit
would bar passenger cars from down­town
areas.
"One company deep in research and
development," he said "says that 75
percent of its income by the year 2000
will come from things not even known
today. But, certain basic fundamental
truths that do not change must be fol­lowed
if success is to come your way."
He added that persons need good
character and a right attitude toward
life to be successful and happy, and that
there are also certain logical business
steps such as self inventory, plans, goals
and schedules to follow.
"An individual must stop and take
audit of the progress made toward life's
goal. If progress is not what it should
be an inventory should be made to de­termine
what alterations are necessary."
Seventeen of the 191 graduates were
from Arizon'a; thirty-seven foreign stu­dents
represented 23· countries.
The Athletic Award was given to Driss
Ben Khaled, and the Phoenix Newspa­pers
Advertising Award was presented
to the team introducing "Christian
Brothers Wine in Japan," which won
the Spring '74 advertising competition.
Members of the team were: Robert C.
Brady, Cindy L. Cotton, Susan T. Lentz,
Reed C. Walter, Martha A. Taber and
John W. Wicker, Jr., with Jeffrey
Fischmann as Advisor. Excellence in
Capstone Subjec.ts Awards, presented
for outstanding performance and excel­lence
demonstrated by its recipients in
the team-research oriented Capstone
Course, were given to Jeremiah A.
Briggs, John R. Maxwell, Peter C. Reck,
Thomas F. O'Dea II, Sharmon D. Wilson
and Jose C. Carreiro.
OUR THANKS TO JERRY JACKA
We have received so many compli­ments
on the cover of the Spring issue
of THE THUNDERBIRD that we want
to publicly thank the photographer,
Jerry Jacka, for allowing us to repro­duce
the beautiful Arizona scene. Jerry
is well known to readers of the ARI­ZONA
HIGHWAYS and is famous in
this area for his beautiful photos ap­pearing
in that publication and in local
and na tional magazines.
TELL INTERFAITH

.~t\.r' \~ ~~
A very impressive ceremony on May
1st marked the formal dedication of the
TELL INTERFAITH CENTER, pre­sented
to Thunderbird by Mr. and Mrs.
A.P. Tell of Phoenix. Such a Center

facility to be used by all faiths.
Thunderbird is indebted to these stu­dents
for their efforts, to Mr. and Mrs.
Tell for their generosity and to the
Center Committee, composed of Lou
Andreadis, Richard Buck, Terry Burton,

KLEIN '47 RECEIVES
JONAS MAYER AWARD
JOSEPH M. KLEIN, Executive Vice
President of the Cyprus Mines Corpora­tion,
headquartered in Los Angeles, was
presented the 1974 Jonas Mayer Alumni
Award at the May 22nd commencement
exercises. The award is granted each
year to an alumnus of the School who
has reflected great credit on American
international business.
A graduate of Thunderbird's first class,
he joined Cyprus Mines Corporation in
May 1966 in the newly-created position
of Group Vice Preside nt, International
Marketing Division. Although his orig­inal
job title depicted the rather narrow
field of international marketing, Joe
quickly became a member of the senior
operating management team and was
involved, at least at the policy-making
level, in all phases of the company's
worldwide business.
One year after joining Cyprus he was
elected a Senior Vice President in rec­ognition
of his expanded responsibilities
and, in July 1972, he became the Execu­tive
Vice President. In this position, he
is responsible for Cyprus' international
marketing program and its industrial
and manufacturing groups located
throughout the world.
Before joining Cyprus Mines he was
president of NBC International Ltd.,
and vice president of NBC News, based
in New York City.
Joe and his wife, Betty, were present at
the commencement exercises to receive
the Award, which was presented to him
by Mr. Frank Snell, former Chairman
of the Thunderbird Board of Directors.
PRESI DENT VORIS
VISITS EUROPE
Dr. William Voris, Thunderbird Presi­dent,
has returned from a brief trip to
Europe, where he met with a variety
of European businessmen and uni­versity
representatives. His trip was
funded by the Combined Communica­tions
Corporation, and included stops in
Copenhagen, Brussels, Paris, Berlin and
Barcelona.
One of the main objectives of the trip
was to better inform leading business­men
and university representatives on
the aims, purposes and needs of
Thunderbird, and to speak to the stu­dents
and faculty at the University of
Na varre in Barcelona, the Ecole
Superieure de Commerce de Paris, and
the Free University in Berlin. His visit
also included interviews by European
newspapers. President Voris attended
alumni meetings in ~aris and Brussels.

MARTHA SNYDER RETIRES
By Mabel Erickson
Martha Snyder joined the American Graduate School of International Manage ­ment
(then the American Institute far Foreign Trade) as my Secretary in the
Registrar's Office on January 20, 1953. She also served in that capacity in the
Placement Office and Alumni Affairs Office. She was appointed Executive Secretary
of the Alumni Association on July 1, 1963, and has< served in that capacity ever since.
One of her responsibilitioo has been the editing of the alumni publication, "News
of Thunderbirds," now called "The Thunderbird." She has done a remarkable job
in reporting news of alumni, current campus activities, and even the "Cradle Roll,"
many of whom we hope will be future Thunderbirds.
Her W8'rm and cordial contact with alumni has elicited extraordinary coopera­tion
from them in keeping the school posted on their progress. Also the School is
constantly being complimented on the alumni records Martha set up and has
maintained.
As I wrote to Martoo on the occasion of a party given in her honor at the
home of President and Mrs. Voris recently, "I am glad to haye had the privilege
and foresight to have brought you into the Thunderbird family. I remember our
initial interview . .. Somehow, we had instant rapport which has lasted throughout
these many years."
Sometimes, during the leaner years, our job seemed analogous to Hannibal's
crossing the Alps. Our early poetic attempts for alumni fund raising often brought
roars of laughter from the graduates. Some of you will remember the following:
You may think we are kind of sneaky
When we say the roof is leaky -
And printing and postage costs go
sailing
So why don't you your check us
mailing?
Not to be outdone by our literary en­deavor,
one alumnus sent his check with
the following response:
"Can't resist my check you mailing -
When your humar's so unfa,iling.
You'd get no where with a fast line
But how ignOTe that deathless last
line?
It goes to prove the thing they often
tell:
Nothing pays off like the soft-sell!"
AnotheT Thunderbird finished off our
annual contribution rhyme with:
"My bank balance is a-wailing
My family is a-ailing
But you folks I'm not a-failing."
During our tenure, we laughed a lot,
we tried hard, we worked hard, and
cried some. In that regard, I could cite
many incidents and escapades, but lest
I slight any of our wondedul charac­ters
(alumni that is), I will keep this
very simply as a tribute to Martha.
One of the highlights of Martha's party
was a lovely scrapbook of memorabilia
gathered from around the world and
presented to her. Another highlight was
the announcement of a scholarship set
up in her name. To date, approximately
$2,700 has been received. We hope that
figure will grow as more alumni and
friends become aware of the scholar­ship.
We shall miss Martha on campus, but
she will still be in Phoenix, and I am
sure she will join us in some of the
fun things that regularly occur here.
And I am certain too that many of the
alumni will recollect nostalgically what
some of those fun things are. When she
retires on June 30, 1974, she can do so
with assurance that she has served
admirably with loyalty, dedication, ef­ficiency
and love. We wish for her a
happy and fulfilling retirement. And
Godspeed.
BRIDGES SERVES ON
PRESIDENTIAL
INTERCHANGE PROGRAM
ED BRIDGES '66, Executive Assistant
to the President of the International
Division of Tennessee Gas Transmission
Company in Houston, Texas, is on a
year's leave of absence to serve on the
President's Interchange Program in
Washington, D.C.
The program was established in 1969 to
provide highly talented executives with
an opportunity to gain experience by
crossing sector lines to work temporari­ly
in government or business during the
important middle years of their careers.
Business executives, and other execu­tives
in the private sector, are selected
for year-long assignments in Govern­ment.
Similarly, government executives
are selected for assignments in business.
To qualify for the exchange program
the candidate must have the following:
(a) the potential to become a senior
executive (b) a proven record of man­agement
ability (c) significant accom­plishments
and (d) integrity and a high
intellectual capacity.
Ed has been assigned to the Bureau of
East-West Trade, Department of Com­merce,
as an international trade spe­cialist
with the Trade Policy Division.
While with the program he has authored
"How to do Business with the U.S.S.R."
and co-authored "Financing East-West
Trade through Switch & Barter." He
also attended a total immersion course
in the Russian Language and an Ameri­can
Management Associations Seminar
on "Coping with Foreign Exchange
Problems in International Operations."
He serves on the Policy Analysis Staff
of the Administrator of the Federal
Energy Office ; is a Director of a De­partment
of Commerce Trade Mission
to the U.S.S.R., Hungary and Austria,
and is a Project Director for Commerce
on Financing East-West Trade, and on
the optimum U.S. corporation organiza­tion
and management structure in deal­ing
with the Centrally Planned Eco­nomics.
Formerly with J. 1. Case Company, E<l
fulfilled assignments in Lebanon and
Greece.
LATIN AMERICAN
PARTNERSHIP THRIVING
On June 1st, 1973, B. PAUL SMITH '62
and ROBERT V. GIBBS '69, along with
four others, graduated from Chase Man­hattan
Bank to form the First Inter­americas
Corporation, a Delaware cor­poration
with headquarters at 77 Walter
Street, New York City.
Paul writes: "I remained in Mexico. We
have an office in Bogota and will soon
open in Caracas and Sao Paulo. Our ob­jective
has been to raise capital in Latin
America (about US $5,000,000 paid in
to date) to organize an investment
house with access to the New York
money market which would serve as a
vehicle to channel more capital back
to Latin America. Our activities com­prise
financial consulting, corporate in­vestment
and financial counselling,
generation of market-and-feasibility
studies, generation of country informa­tion
and intelligence reports and find­ing
foreign and local sources for loan
and capital funds.
"Some of our activities in Latin Ameri­ca.
are financed with lines of credit
granted to us by leading New York
banks, although this is the smaller part
of our activity. In October, First Inter­americas
in conjunction with two Mexi­can
stockholders bought a majority in­terest
in Underwriters Bank and Trust
Company, New York City (changed to
United Americas Bank in February
1974). This is more in the way of an
investment in a related field rather than
a source of financing. Growth has been
rapid and we have been profitable from
the start, so prospects for continued
cxpansion are good, which can also be
said for Thunderbird!"

A FINAL MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR
It is with mixed emotiens that I edit this publication, my last issue
ef THE THUNDERBIRD. I shall soon leave AGSIM, taking with me
wonderful memories ef my mere than twenty ene years on campus,
the alumni parties that I have attended, and the friendship of my
co-werkers and alumni areund the werld. It has been a delightful
and unforgettable era of my life and I have enjoyed every minute of it.
Naturally, I feel a certain sense of sadness when I realize that
I shall no lenger be an important part of Thunderbird and yet, I am
so thankful and happy for having had the opportunity to work fer,
and with so many wonderful people. Thunderbird and its alumni shall
always hold a very special place in my heart.
I shall miss the "Dear Martha" letters, the buzzing activity ef
campus life, the arrival of new students, the goodbyes at graduation
time, the chapter parties and the visits. of returning alumni - but life
shall gO' on, and new interests have a way of replacing some of the
eld. I onJy hepe that my Thunderbird friends will not forget me and
that at least some of them will continue to' keep in teuch with me
and! stop in fora visit when they are in the area.
I am deeply honored by the establishment ef the MARTHA L.
SNYDER SCHOLARSHIP, altheugh I am not at all sure that I deS€rve
the recegnition. I wish to' thank these whO' sO' genereusly centributed
to the Fund, and all my alumni friends who sent messages ef con­gratulations
and best wishes en my retirement. If you will bear with
me, I premise to eventually send a persenal thank-you to each of
you. The incoming notes, letters, telegrams, etc., were cempiled in
an albwTI and presented to me at the marvelous May 15th FIESTA
DE LOS ALUMNI hosted by President Veris and his levely wife,
Mavis. It is a very impressive volume and ene that holds beautiful
memories ef my happy days at Thunderbird.
As for the future, my plans are indefinite. Rest assured that I shall
not be· idle. I plan to devote a pa~t of my time to work, and the rest
will be spent catering to my ever increasing family, doing seme volun­teer
work at one of the lecal hospitals, and taking advantage· ef some
of the outside diversions that a nine to five jeb precluded. One of my
part-time activities will be as National Secretary ef Delta Phi Epsilen,
and since the Lambda Chapter represents about 20% of the total
membership I shall be keeping in close teuch with many of you.
For the time being, my address is 6050 North 21st Avenue, Apart­ment
B, Pheenix 85015 . Telephone (602) 242-398l. PLEASE REMEM­BER
that the Welceme Mat is always out.
I wish for each of you the best of everything in life, and in the
years to come may you find the fulfullment of your dreams. I know
that I can depend on each of you to give my successor the same
wonderful ceoperatien and friendship that you have given me.
Although this is my final message as editor, I will not say "good­bye"
- I shall only say -
Until we meet again,
Although Martha vetoed the use of her picture on the cover of this issue of THE
THUNDERBIRD, the day after her retirement we changed her plans and rushed her
photo to the printers. PUBLIC Al"F AIRS OFFICE
FUND RAISING
DINING HALL CONTRIBUTIONS DROP
Donations to the Dining Hall Renovation Fund have "sagged" in the last four months (Fehruary 15 through June 15),
totaling. only $3,179.80, and our hopes of finishing the project in 1974 have dimmed. We anticipate that we should pick up a
large part of the $25,000 deficit through a special letter campaign to alumni who have not contributed to the current project
and who have not responded to previous fund drives. Originally scheduled for May, these letters should be in the mail in July.
If you are among the non-givers PLEASE drop your check in the mail today. Remember your contribution is tax­deductible
and that you can double your donation if your company participates in a Gift Ma,tching Program. YOUR SUPPORT
WILL BE AN INDICATION OF YOUR CONTINUING INTEREST IN THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THUNDERBIRD.

ARIZONA FIESTA
DE LOS ALUMNI
The May 15th FIESTA DE LOS ALUM­NI
hosted by President and Mrs. Voris
was a tremendous success with dozens
of Arizona alumni in attendance ph-ls a
s izeable number of faculty members,
administrative personnel and friends.
While the party was intended as a sur­prise
for your retiring Editor, the news
"leaked" out. well in advance of May
15th. It was a very enjoyable, fun­packed
evening with excellent food,
considerable imbibing and much social­izing.
The International Students fur­nished
the entertainment, followed by
an auction to raise money for the
Scholarship Fund.
We thank President Voris and Mavis for
hosting the party, and for their deep
and genuine interest in not only the
School, but in its students and alumni.
BOYE DEMENTE '53 will serve as
1974-75 President of the Arizona Alum­ni

RECORD ATTENDANCE AT
LOS ANGELES MEETING
LOS ANGELES area Thunderbirds
turned out 105 strong for the June 8th
cocktail / d inner party held at The Pear
Garden. The affair was in honor of
Senorita de Noronha of Phoenix (an
all-tin'e Thunderbird fav orite) and you r
r e tiring Editor. While it is always de­li
ghtful to see the Los Angcles group
that have been so faithful to the School
and to the Chapter, it was particul a rly
gra tifying to find so many graduates
from the earli e,r classes on hand, and
es pec ially those who had not attended
p revious meetings. There were also a
number of recent graduates.
As your retiring Editor, I wish to thank
the Los Ange les Chapter for their loyal ­ty
a nd cooperation through the years,
for their friend ship, for the courtesies
they have extended to me, and for the
lovely gift.
Newcomers in the area should contact
Larry Lips he r , Chapter President, (462 -
2088 or 729-7505) to assure that their
name is on the mailing list. The next
meeting will be held in October or
November '74.

EUROPEAN CHAPTER PLANS FOR 74-75
We received a full report from Dave Hertel on the '74 Fasching Weekend in
Munich sponsored by the EUROPEAN ALUMNI CHAPTER and indications are
that it was well attended and the accompanying photographs prove that a good time
was had by all.
We were sorry to learn that the MITCH SUMMERS have left Paris for a
Tehran-Armco assignment. Mitch and Judy have done a marvelous job for the
European group for several years and now that they are in Iran we look for increased
alumni activity in that area. We are consoled by the fact that the European Chapter
has been left in the capable hands of KURN KRUGER and DAVE HERTEL and
their Board of Directors.
Summer plans called for a cocktail/dinner party in Paris in honor of Thunder­bird
President Voris on the evening of June 21st. More on this in the Fall issue of
THE THUNDBRBIRD.
Perhaps one of the most exciting of the upcoming events will be the SKI NEW
YEAR'S GET-TOGETHER at St. Johann in Tirol, Austria, scheduled for December
27-January 1st. The FASCHING KARNEVAL WEEKEND will be held in Cologne
on February 7-9, 1975.
