1931*

Two months ago he said we were going to list the names and addresses of all the members of the class now in the Armed Services, with the hope that each one of you would pick out one or two and drop them a note. One of the most important things, they all agree, is a letter from home, and while we feel sometimes that we are being asked to make some sacrifices and that we have a great many demands on our time, they're really nothing compared to what our friends in uniform have had to do. A cheery note with a couple of good stories and a little bit of news won't take too long to write and it won't cost any money, but it will be very welcome on the other end. The MAGAZINE is going to print the group in two or three lists, in monthly instalments. I would suggest you save the issues and then paste the lists together so you have a complete list for yourselves. Also, when you write anyone listed be sure to put "Please forward" on the envelope, since home addresses are given.

HETFIELD ELECTED

At the annual stockholders' meeting George (Chubby) Hetfield, senior member of the law firm of Hetfield and Hetfield, was elected to the Board of Directors of the Plainfield Trust Company. This is one more responsibility in the string that Chubby has earned for himself in his native bailiwick. Besides this, Chubby's president of the Plainfield Bar Association, was formerly president of the Plainfield Common Council, was a member of the Board of Governors of the Muhlenberg Hospital, trustee of the Social Service Center, trustee of the United Family and Children's Society, and trustee of the Plainfield Visiting Nurse Association. That's the pay-off! Well, we never could see Chubby leaving the women out—or was it the women leaving Chubby out?

OMASTA TAKES POSITION WITH THE A.A.A.

Sam Omasta is now in Washington, where he has a position with the Agricultural Adjustment Administration in the department of materials, all under the auspices of the U. S. Department of Agriculture.

After his graduation from Dartmouth Sam became very much interested in farm problems as a tobacco and potato grower associated with his father in Hatfield, Massachusetts. He later worked for the A. A. A. as a farm checker and in 1941 was promoted to a position in the state conservation office at Massachusetts State College. His new position in Washington is a direct outgrowth of his interest in the problems of the farm, and he seems well qualified to do the job.

FORMER MAYOR GOES BACK TO SCHOOL

Charlie Felker, who was one of the youngest graduates Dartmouth ever had (and with high honors at that) recently declined to seek re-election as Strafford county treasurer in order to enter Harvard Law School. For the past few years Charlie has been in the real estate business in and around Rochester, and has been very active in local and county politics.

By way of Bill Geiger we received a very nice note from Ruth Martin, wife of Dr. A 1 Martin, who is now in the Army Air Corps as a first lieutenant. After his six weeks of training at Miami A 1 was sent to Salt Lake City, and from there to Alamogordo, New Mexico.

And just to balance the records between the Army and the Navy, we received an announcement from our pedagogical friend and erstwhile bachelor, Johnnie Milos, lieutenant junior grade in the U. S. Naval Reserve, announcing his marriage to Susan Marie Mader in Annapolis. Prior to joining the Navy John was teaching mathematics in Pelham High School and was the head of the Westchester County Teachers' Association, where he did an excellent job in organizing the teachers and working with the government authorities for the handling of rationing programs.

Congratulations, John and Susan. Along about the end of January we had a good class dinner here in New York where some 19 men showed up, including Ed Gristede, Hank Richmond, Shep Wolff, Jim Lyall, A 1 Torras, Frank Hodson, Les Klein, Ed Maas, Mickey Syrek, Frank Quinn, Joe Mullan, Charlie Schneider, Dutch Holland, Johnnie Camph, Jack Warwick, Hart Gilchrist, Will Lapidus and Charlie Warne. The piecede resistance was Master of Ceremonies Gristede's appearance with cans of evaporated milk and quarter-pounds of butter as door prizes, which went to the lucky fellows who pulled the right numbers out of the hat. The prizes were easily worth the price of the dinner in this day and age when butter is gold. I don't see how any of you fellows around New York can afford not to come to the next dinner whenever we have it. You never know what Gristede will show up with next.

Incidentally, don't forget your check for the Alumni Fund. The College needs the money and I think we all agree that when the war is over we're going to need the College possibly more than we have ever needed it before, and the only way that it will survive is by taking our present war conditions in its stride and to do that it needs the help of every one of us.
