Secretary, 152 Waban Ave., Waban, Mass.
We are glad to report that this column is again being written from our home, and that we are out of the hospital tor good, we hope. Although still hobbling a little on the left leg, we have been back at our desk with the New England Mutual Life for the past three weeks.
Lloyd Moulton has spent the past three years as superintendent of the Old Lyme schools in Connecticut. These schools are under the supervision of Yale University, and in his spare time Lloyd is studying at that institution of learning and broken jinxes towards the Ph.D. degree. In spite of this affiliation he still sits on the Dartmouth side at the bowl. In his letter to us Lloyd wonders if anything more can be done to put our class into the 100% subscribers to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE group. A general expression of opinion from present subscribers in the class as to the advisability and ways and means of adopting this plan would be greatly appreciated by your executive committee.
Bob Mix, new general agent for the State Mutual Life in New Haven, is. doing a grand job. We recently read in a national insurance publication that Bob gave the main address at a meeting of the Life Underwriters Association in New Haven.
The publication School EquipmentNews, in its January issue, carried an article entitled: "A New England Town Builds a School." The author is Ed Miner, superintendent of schools in Wellesley, Mass. The extremely interesting article has to do with the building of a new elementary school which was recently completed in that town.
In the March issue of this column we listed a few names selected at random from those who have not been heard from for some time and asked for news of their whereabouts. This form of appeal brought forth one much appreciated letter, which brings us up to date on the doings of Al Wellman. Al and his brother ('25) are running the Jamestown Sample Furniture Corporation in Jamestown, N. Y. This retail furniture store plus other business properties keeps Al's nose pretty close to the proverbial grindstone. He says he gets away for a couple of good trips a year and a few buying sprees in New York, but otherwise leads the usually pleasant life expected of one in a small city. Al was married in 1930, and now has two "lively, inquisitive, and aggressive" sons, the oldest seven and the youngest two.
Frank Coulter left Boston on Monday, April 3, for St. Louis, where he will take up his new duties as assistant to the general passenger agent of the St. Louis, San Francisco Railroad, better known as the Frisco Lines. For the past five years Frank has been New England general agent for the Frisco Lines, and this promotion comes as a fitting reward for the fine job he has done here. The day he left the New England Traffic Club tendered him a luncheon at the Chamber of Commerce in Boston. About one hundred members gave Frank a most friendly and complimentary send-off, and presented him with a beautiful wrist watch. Sykes Hardy, Charlie Bartlett, and your Secretary attended the luncheon, and we were very proud to hear the many sincere and friendly comments made about our classmate. Mrs. Coulter and the two youngsters, Nancy and Lee, will remain in Wellesley until after the school term, and will then spend the summer at their summer home in Groton, Conn., joining Frank in St. Louis in the fall.
Joe Russakoff writes us as director Press Bureau for the Thirty-Fifth Annual Convention of the Advertising Federation of America. The convention is to be held in New York, June 18-22, and Joe hopes all '27 men in advertising will attend, for, as he says: "it is a good show, whether considered as a business meeting or a social occasion, both elements being provided for in abundance." Joe either is or is with the Vanguard Advertising Agency, and spends his spare time as a member of the board of directors of a consumers cooperative in New York. About his agency Joe says: "Since Vanguard is such small potatoes, it is given a wide berth by all the highpowered '27 media reps, and so on. Which is a cause of regret to me, both for being small, and for being berthed."
Bill Abbott writes that on the night of the annual banquet of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Chicago, held on Dartmouth night at the Blackstone, a few of the class gathered early for cocktails. Those who put in an appearance were Carroll Daley, Merritt Joslyn, Phil Thompson, George Howell, Woody Burgert, and Bill Abbott. Unfortunately George Provost was unable to be present on account of having the "flu."
Again "Squeaks from the Golden Gate" provides us with news of a wandering classmate. We quote: "KENNETH MEYERCORD '27 —Ken came to San Francisco recently, as we understand it, doing some work for the Western Electric Company. The report is that he worked night and day and left town without paying any social calls. No one except Bruce McKennan saw him. That is the way they work in those big utilities."
Josh Davis was in Boston over one night last week on business. Your class agent, Gus, and your scribe spent several hours with him in his room at the Parker House, discussing plans for the coming Alumni Fund campaign. Gus has fine plans worked out this year. He and his assistants are determined to do all that is possible to bring our class into the group that contributes 100% of its objective. All that is needed to help them accomplish that abjective is the generous cooperation of each and every one of us. If we each gave up one Saturday night party, or some other such transitory pleasure, and added its cost to our usual contribution, we would go over the top flying.
