1928*
Three more '28rs have succumbed to the manifold advantages of matrimony. Latest is Bob Nespor, whose engagement to Marion Juliet Sullivan was announced September 20 by the latter's uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wright of Westport, Conn. Marion is the daughter of Mrs. David Sullivan and the late Mr. Sullivan, of London. Since the outbreak of the war, Marion has made her home with her uncle and aunt. Bob, an old Melrose boy, has been practicing medicine in Westport for the past four years. He is a member of the U. S. Naval Reserve, with the appointment of surgeon and rank of Lieutenant (j.g.), and expects to be stationed shortly at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
We just heard that Bill Breyfogle, of Peterboro, Ontario, was married over a year ago. With disdain for alumni reports such as ours, he neglected to tell us about the event. We are considering offering some sort of incentive for letter-writing, such as a case of champagne to every classmate who writes us of his wedding no later than two weeks after the event.
Louie Molina of West Roxbury, Mass., and Josephine Foster, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward S. Foster of the same place, were married September 27. Louie is a special agent with the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection & Insurance Co. in Boston. He was with us only a year and a half and later graduated from Harvard.
Bill Monaco, who enlisted in the Army and who arrived at the Armored Force School at Fort Knox, Kentucky, via Fort Dix, writes, "It is my opinion that the government has wasted a lot of money and has frittered away the time of our men in the past year because of exceedingly poor organization. It is still bad, we still have regular army "N.C.O.'s" forming the cadre of companies for the most part—they can't read or write and they have no business trying to train this civilian army, the level of which is much higher than that of the "regulars." I've noticed certain newspapers and periodicals taking up the cudgels for the men—l'm glad they are for public opinion is the thing which will cause shake-ups which are needed to improve the organization of the Army."
Mai Halliday, Assistant General Counsel of the National Labor Relations Board in Washington, has moved to 1556 East-West Highway, Silver Springs, Maryland.
Herb Adams, of Keene, New Hampshire, who has been in the U. S. Forest Service in the White Mountain National Forest for several years, has been transferred to Covington, Virginia, where he is district ranger of the Warm Spring district of the George Washington National Forest. After graduation Herb went to Yale and received his master's degree in forestry there in 1930.
The New York papers of September 11 gave big headlines to the conviction in Federal Court of three persons for conspiracy to violate (by bribery) the Selective Service Act. The case was important to the government because it involved the first indictment under the conspiracy section of the new Selective Service Act. The government's case was entrusted to Myles Lane, who deserves a lot of credit for the swell job he did.
A number of '2Bers are taking the lead in alumni affairs. Jack Zellers is the new president of the Dartmouth Club of Bridgeport, Conn. Jack is sales manager of the duplicator supplies division of Remington Rand. Dick Walker is president of the Association of the Dartmouth Alumni of the Plains; and vice president of the Byron Reed Co., Omaha real estate firm. George Holbrook is president of the Cheshire County Dartmouth Alumni Association, meeting in Keene, N. H. He also is an officer of the Holbrook Grocery Co. George Davis is secretary of the Dartmouth Alumni Club of Glens Falls, N. Y., as well as treasurer of the Glens Falls Insurance Co. Three presidents and a secretary—not bad!
Hank Walker, like many of you, is directly involved in our defense program. His company, the Great Lakes Carbon Corp., has a plant at Niagara Falls which manufactures electrodes and it is being expanded at the request of the Army Air Corps. With priorities, Certificates of Necessity, etc., Hank is completely swamped with work. Hank is the legal light of the New York office, while Fred Poeter '29 holds a similar position in their Chicago office. Incidentally, the Walkers spent their first vacation on Cape Cod, at Oysters, Harbors, and see no reason to ever look elsewhere for an ideal vacation spot.

Driving through the beautiful country hereabouts it seems as if every barn is decorated with an excellent, smiling likeness of "Dr. Gerald I. Cetrulo, coach of the undefeated Seton Hall College fencing team." in his fencing costume and smoking a pipe of Granger Rough Cut.
During the summer John Gulian bought out the Ben Franklin 5 and 10c store in Greenville, N. H., and changed the name to John Gulian Stores. He says this is his first store but he hopes some day to make the stores part of the name a fact. John worked for the W. T. Grant Co. from 1928 to 1936, and since then for the McCormick Sales Co., selling spices, teas and drugs. Congratulations, John, on going into business for yourself.
Whether you think so or not, news about you—your children, your job, your trips, is of interest to your classmates. The sending of this information to me is not construed as evidence that you want to see your name in print, but rather it helps keep the Class records up-to-the-minute. The Class wants to see new names and happenings in these columns. How about writing today, and enclosing that check for the ALUMNI MAGAZINE which I'll turn over to Bruce?
