1920

As I write these notes it is 22° below. We have some real Hanover winters in Glens Falls but I'll wager that all of our classmates located in the South Pacific theater would trade places without a second thought.

The New York boys have lost one of their best enthusiasts. Norm Richardson has resigned as manager of Tubize Rayon Corp. to return to his former residence at Laconia, N. H. Norm joined Tubize in 1929 at the time of the merger of American Chatillion Corp. with Tubize. Prior to that he was engaged in hosiery manufacturing and sales with C. H. Bacon Co. and Rufus W. Scott Co.

Speaking of New York brings to mind a note in the December Dartmouth Club (N. Y.), News. It states that Dr. Charlie Mc Goughran '20 is recuperating from a long illness at Atlantic Beach, Fla. We are of course pleased that Chas is on his way to good health but a bit baffled by the title—what goes on? ....The News also lists Al Palmer, Lee Hodgkins and wives as recent guests of the Club.

Flash—a letter just arrived announcing the decoration of Lt.-Col. Charles H. Sargent Jr. by the French government with the Croix de Guerre with gold star. It is our understanding that he is the first Dartmouth man to be so honored. We're proud of you, Charlie.

Bill Farnham is now living in Spokane, Wash., and with the Electro Metallurgical Cos. which operates a magnesium plant just north of Spokane. Bill's phase of activity is accounting and auditing Jack Allenburg owns and operates a jewelry store on West Adam Blvd., Los Angeles.

Paul Richter, the roving '20 ambassador, recently returned from a business trip to the Coast during which he saw, talked with or heard about many of our boys. Lunched with Abe Winslow in San Francisco and the same with Dick Kimball in Los Angeles; dined with Johnnie Allen in Seattle but found John Beranek out of town; breakfasted with Leo Ungar, the furniture tycoon of Council Bluffs but missed John Sunderland. Dined and theatered with the w.k. St. Louis attorney, Geo. Rassieur.

A member of the '19 recently confronted me with the statement that he thought it very unlikely that '20 would approach the amount they raised for their 25th Year Memorial Fund. Whether this is the general feeling of that class I don't know but it does put it up to us to dig deep. Only four months remain before we make our presentation. We must pledge, Tioenty Grand FOR TWENTY'S GRAND TWENTY-FIFTH!
