1919*
The Hayes family has contributed much to the progress and development of the United States including a former President. The present generation of which we claim three is carrying on in the best tradition and all of our three have distinguished themselves this year. It is our pleasure, therefore, to commend them publicly and let you share in their accomplishments.
Ralph Hayes is serving in Washington as Lieutenant Commander in Naval Reserve attached to Communications. Rock Hayes was made a partner of Paine, Webber & Co. Clif Hayes was elected Vice President of Pacific Mills in charge of all southern manufacturing operations. Anyone familiar with the textile industry knows that this is a real job. Clif has been with Pacific 17 years.
Pictures of the three '19 Hayes' appear in this issue.
By the time you get this the 1941 football season will be more than half over. The first two games in Hanover attracted good crowds and as usual '19 was well represented. In addition to the ones on the ground the Norwich game brought in King and Alice Cole, (young King is a freshman) Jack and Hester McCrillis, Spider and Bea Martin, Jim and Mary Davis, Hal and Helen Avery with Hal Jr., Jack and Kathryn Reilly and their sons, Jack Jr. and Philip.
In Hanover for the Amherst game were Rog and Helen Clark and their daughter, Jean, (Rog Jr. is a Sophomore) Pete and Mary Grey and their sons, Robert and Spencer, (Robert is on the books to enter college next fall) Everett Moxon, George Rand, Bill Picken, Mrs. Bill and their son who is attending Clark School in Hanover.
Bill Picken won the Atlantic Coast Championship of the Star Class in the series that wound up under the auspices of the Harlem Yacht Club and won it by the unique margin of seventeen points (Yachtsmen will understand what this means).
While on the subject of championships, we are happy to report that the Chan Browns of Strong, Maine have one in their family. Here is the story from Chan himself:
"The Ford Good Drivers League (not a Ford Propaganda proposition in my opinion, but a very well worth while movement) is very probably nothing new to any Dads who have sons of driving age. However, the Browns happened to father the State of Maine Champion this year. As a result both the Dad and the Mother (Vermont 1919) had the pleasure of a trip to Detroit and a week there while the contestants were taking their final tests. Woolson was not one of the big money winners, being able to tie with the 44 contestants remaining after the first five had been awarded the larger scholarships ranging from five thousand to five hundred dollars, but he still got his hundred dollar scholarship, the trip, the honor and the chance to meet the winners of the State Championships of the other forty-seven states and D.C. Whether any other Dartmouth Dads were along or not I was unable to determine, but I think not. They had better be another year."
The number of our men in service continues to grow. Major William A. Eddy "on leave for the duration" as President of Hobart College (Bill gave the baccalaureate sermon in Hanover at commencement last June) is Naval Attache and Naval Attache for Air, American Legation, Cairo, Egypt. He left San Francisco by Clipper on July 15th and arrived in Cairo July 29th. He was three days in Singapore and eleven days flying—a record for commercial air service in that part of the world. Mrs. Eddy is remaining in Geneva, N. Y., for the present.
A note from Jigger Merrill tells of his Army activities:
"Am now on manoeuvres Second vs. Third Army 30 miles north of Alexandria, La. Expect to be here for two weeks and on the way back to Fort Austin for two weeks.
'Jack Berry, wife and daughter visited us in Battle Creek one Sunday in July from his home in South Bend, Ind. They all looked and acted line. One of Jack's boys is in the field artillery in 33rd Division at Camp Forrest, Tenn. Jack says his business— Nash Kelvinator—is limited only by quantity he can get from the factory for delivery.
'Speaking of production, three stores I've been in down here in the last 24 hrs. were sold out of what I wanted—milk, ice cream, etc. One said, 'lt's no use getting ice cream 'cause we haven't large enough facilities to handle what we can sell.' How is that for a seller's market?"
Will I. Levy is on active duty in the War Department in Washington, living at the Shoreham Hotel. If you are in Washington you can locate him by calling War Department Information.
Nock Wallis is doing some defense work in Framingham as Division Head—Coordination & Cooperation Div. of Framingham Committee of Public Safety (Civilian Defense). His wife, Eleanor, is on the com- mittee of Public Safety as head of all First Aid for the Town, and is chairman of the First Aid and Life Saving Division of Framingham Chapter of Red Cross. Their elder son, Bill, (Senior at High School) is manager of football and President, of local High Y Club and is heading for Dartmouth next year. Their younger son, Sam, is in his first year Junior High.
The Sandoes spent a good part of the summer along New England shores in their schooner. Their oldest son, Nick, is now a Freshman at Dartmouth, and the second boy, Bob, is in his last year at Kent. One of Bill McMahon's many sons is on the New Rochelle High fooball team. Tom Bresnahan's son is at Exeter, drawing a roommate from Hanover, the son of Professor Washburn, head of the French department. Alex Henderson summered at Cape Cod. Fat Jackson and Tom Bresnahan took in the Louis-Nova fight.
New York has its Protest Club fathered by Champ Clements with McMahon acting in the role of Clifton Fadiman. Boston comes through with a twilight golf team composed of Jim Davis, Rock Hayes, Art Havlin and Spen Dodd. At 6 P.M. they were on the 15th tee. By 9 P.M. they finished the 18 th. This unhurried progress toward the club house is explained as follows: On the 18th tee all four of them lost their drives—the rest of the evening was spent adding up the scores.
Louis Munro gave Cleveland a thrill in September when he went there for a convention. In his honor Raible, Stecher and Jeavons gave him a luncheon. Raible is in the process of buying buildings and equipment for a farm just outside of Gates Mills. Soy beans is the crop and already a tractor operated by the "Rabbi" himself has been seen moving trees and other impedimenta.
Russ Potter has a new bride—the stepmother of Brenda Frasier. Stew Russell and Ray Adams were here in New York recently. Clements went over to Asbury Park for his annual checkup by Dr. Dan Featherston. Bill Stedman is now with Macy's. Murray Botsford Hawkins, Dartmouth '63 was born September 10, 1941.
Richard L. Strout is the author of an article in the August 6th issue of the Christian Science Monitor entitled 'Americans Are a Friendly People, Yes, Indeed."
