Newsy letters are out from Kel Rose relative to the annual Alumni Fund subscription, and every member ought to get behind Kel and send that check today. Kel did a grand job last year, giving us the best record ever, and with your help, he can and will do it again. If you've forgotten his address it is: G. Kellogg Rose Jr., c/o Chase National Bank, Lexington Ave. and 43rd St., New York 17, N. Y.
We regret to announce the death of Frank Rohrs in Denver on March 10 after a long illness during which he tried to find health by moving away from his native New York to Colorado. A full account of his death is in the In Memoriam this month.
A good letter from Dan Waugh gives me the following: On March 10 in New York, Dan Waugh's step-daughter, Enid Belden, was married, with Russ Durgin's daughter Helen as maid of honor and Ray King's daughter Sally as general manager. The three girls were classmates at Colby Junior College. The lucky man is Lt. H. S. Robertson Jr., Medical Corps AUS, Cornell '4l.
Every couple of years I hear from Paul Gibson, and this time in a fine long letter in which he said it was his own personal "Dartmouth Night." He sent his check for the Alumni Fund to Kell, read the last issue of the MAGAZINE, and topped it off With a letter to me. Paul, of course, is still in Richmond, Va., where he is active in various kinds of war work; first as coordinator of OCD, and then, when those activities were curtailed, he became secretary of the Richmond Emergency Coal Committee. There's a Dartmouth Club, in Richmond which holds frequent meetings, but not a 'iser in the city or the State of Virginia. And he'd sure like to see someone from the class if he ever gets around that way. As he says his next trip North will probably be after the war is over, I am betting that we can count on him as being present at our postponed thirtieth whenever it may be held. As manager of the City Public Employment Office, I can see busy times for Paul both during and after war times.
The magazine, Minute Man, for February pays high tribute to Phil Alexander for his services as Colorado State Chairman of the War Finance Committee, mentioning in the write-up that prior to taking up those duties he had been a member of the War Finance Committee of the City of Denver. Phil, with two of his boys now overseas, and his own activities which include Red Cross, War Chest and Chamber of Commerce along with the above, is a busy chap these days.
From a Vermont newspaper we learn that Major Hubert E. Sargent Jr., Hubie's son, has returned home on a three weeks' leave after one hundred bombing missions in command of a B-24 over Germany.
Freddy Frederick writes me from Arlington, Va., that he has been in the Army since the summer of 1942, as a lieutenant colonel, but will, on April 15, be relieved from active duty. His work has been with the Officers Procurement Service and with the Industrial Personnel Division at the Army Services Headquarters in Washington. He is about to join the New York 'l5 contingent when he takes over his new position as director of personnel, Leat, Marwick, Mitchell and Cos., 70 Pine St., New York 5, N. Y. At present he is seeking a residence in a nearby New York suburb. His daughter Marion is a freshman at Wellesley and his son Peter is a sophomore at George School. I know the New York group will be right on the job to welcome Freddy to the fold and make him a part of that thriving 'l5 organization.
A newspaper clipping sent me from the Far West, tells that Walt Wanger is heading the annual Red Cross campaign in the film industry, and it is also reported that Walt is heading the building fund of All Saints Episcopal Church in Beverly Hills.
Johnnie Johnson, back at his home on Cape Cod, Mass., after a long winter around Boston in and out of hospitals, sends me a copy of the Cycle, the official newspaper at Ft. McClellan, Ala., which tells about General Howie Fuller. It's the same paper on which I commented in last month's issue, but it was swell of Johnnie to send it along and likewise to hear from him again. In fact, Johnnie is one of those guys you always like to hear from and the more the better.
Kell Rose's March 19 Bulletin is, of course, in your hands long ere this, and I will not repeat any of the news therein. Suffice to say that Kell puts out a swell letter and his work as our class agent is positively outstanding.
Three changes of address furnished by the College office this month are: Archibald Owen, 2518 Dearborn Drive, Los Angeles 28, Calif.; Henry S. Marcy, 718 Kanuga Drive, West Palm Beach, F)a.; and Leo M. Folan, Hollow Tree Ridge Road, Darien, Conn.
Secretary, Box 697, Lawrence, Mass. Treasurer 31 State St., Boston, Mass.
