1927*
If you could only imagine our extreme pleasure at having received five letters during the past month we are confident that at least two of you would spend the necessary fifteen minutes and squander three cents so that we might have another happy month. Even though you think you have no news, some sort of comment on how lousy this column reads and what could be done to improve it would be appreciated.
Larry Duncan has been associated with Robert W. Upton in the practice of law in Concord, New Hampshire, since 1930 when he graduated from Harvard Law School. Larry was married to Miss Doris M. Hackett in 1932. They have two sons, Stuart 8., born in 1933, and James H. S., born in 1939.
Charlie Paddock writes us a short note confirming his engagement as reported in the last issue, and predicts an early consummation of the nuptials. Charlie also reports seeing Bill Spinney, Ding Heap and Bill Cusack skiing at the winter carnival held recently at Groton by the Dartmouth Outing Club of Boston.
Phil Fowler and his wife chaperoned at the Psi U house during Carnival this year and report that it was a grand party. Phil recently had a part in the Brookline Amateurs production of Disraeli, in which your scribe had a small part. Phil is also very active in the Shakespeare Club of Boston.
On a combined business and skiing trip Dinty Gardner recently spent a weekend in Waterville, Maine, which town has become quite a winter sports center. Among the local enthusiasts Dinty found none other than Professor Dick Lougee of Colby College. Dinty phoned us to report that the Lougees now have a son, born about six months ago.
At the annual meeting of his company in March, Bill St. Amant was elected Vice President of National Sportsman and Hunting and Fishing Magazines.
Ethan Hitchcock writes that Bob Stevens left New York last December and sailed from Los Angeles on December 16, for a three year stretch in Java where he will be Sales Manager for General Motors. Bob made the trip via Honolulu and Singapore. His address is: General Motors Java, 10 Tandjong Priok, Java, D.E.I. Hitch also reports that he sees Jimmy Van Loon quite regularly. Jim is an insurance broker in the Travelers office at 55 John Street.
Dr. Jack Greener writes in part as follows: "Two miniature Class of '27 reunions occurred recently. When the combined choruses of the New Haven University Glee Club, the Yale Glee Club and the University Glee Club of New York got together at Carnegie Hall for a concert for the Finnish Relief Fund, it brought Bob Mix down from New Haven and added his tenor to that of Ted Girault whom I finally persuaded to join the New York Club this fall. The two concerts netted about five thousand for the Finns.
"This winter at the insistence of my wife I took up skiing again. We haven't ranged any further north than the Berkshires, but the last time I went to Pittsfield I found myself riding up the Ski-tow with D. O. Granger, who was considerably more at home on skis than I proved to be. I've fallen in more uncomfortable positions than I ever did in Hanover.
"My home and office are now combined in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn. Now I can keep a closer eye on my three Indians, Ann, Alan and Betty Jane. Alan at five doesn't yet size up as good varsity material. He still seems to have two left feet. My work is tending to grow towards specialization in cancer therapy. You can understand why I go in for glee club work and skiing for recreation." Jack also enclosed a card announcing that on January 15, the last shingle went up on the Kortlucke's new home in Kew Gardens, Long Island.
A note from Don Kinney says: "Am now located permanently, I hope, in Greeley managing the above Company (Northern Colorado Finance Company). Have a couple of nice youngsters, one a boy who should be ready for Dartmouth Class of 1949. Just returned from Chicago where I attended a convention of finance companies. Saw Chuck Burwell and Cary Stiff while there. They are both doing well."
Recent publications by Dartmouth men finds '27 twice in the scoring column. Plautine Technique in Delayed Exits by John Hough has been reprinted from the January issue of Classical Philology. Volume 112 of the Journal of the American Medical Association has an article by Climenko entitled; Sulfapyridine inPneumonia. The same doctor-author scores again in Volume 67 of the Journalof Pharmacy and Experimental Therapy with: The Influence of Disulfanilamide inExperimental Influenza Infections.
From Mr. and Mrs. Charles Slack Huntley of Harlingen, Texas, comes a little card announcing the arrival of Joan Huntley on February 12, 1940.
Art Keleher has been teaching in the New York City Schools since graduating from college. He is a member of the New York Dartmouth Club, and is chairman of an interviewing committee for prospective freshmen. Art runs a summer camp for boys and girls in Northfield, Vermont. We also noticed in the February issue of this MAGAZINE that Art has been elected temporary secretary of the newly formed Dartmouth Club of Long Island. Among Art's neighbors who he sees frequently are Hooker Horton and John Shaw. Art says he is getting old, but is looking forward to the Fifteenth Reunion.
Bill Crane is now located in Kingston, Pa., where he works for the Pressed Steel Company of Wilkes-Barre. He has in the past been associated with Eaton, Crane and Pike Company, Lesilgo Mining Corp., of Helena, Montana, Time Chocolate Company of Columbus, Ohio, and Standard Register Company in Dayton, Ohio.
After graduation Dick Simpson spent one year at the Oklahoma graduate school of Geology. He then worked for two years with the Gulf Oil Corporation and the Geophysical Research Corporation. For the next three years Dick was a geologist for the Fleetborn Oil Corporation and since 1933 has been an independent oil producer. Dick married Miss Eleanor Pringle on January 2, 1937, and they have a daughter, Eileen, born August 15, 1938.
Brick Stone has probably travelled as much and seen as much of the world as anyone in our class. Since 1935 Brick has been located in Mexico City where for four years he was supply manager for General Motors, Mexico. Since 1939 he has been Manager of the Delco-Frigidaire Division of General Motors, Mexico. The first year out of college Brick went around the world as a Cadet for the American Export Lines. In 1928 he stopped off in Antwerp, Belgium, where he remained for the next four years carrying out various assignments for General Motors Continental along with Nick Zaro and Bob Stevens. From 1932 until he was transferred to Mexico, Brick was Assistant Sales Manager for General Motors Peninsular in Barcelona, Spain. Brick is hoping to have a vacation in the States this year and we sincerely hope he will plan a long stop in Boston on his itinerary.
