1930

It is only natural that, following the successful "delayed Fifteenth" Reunion in July during which those fortunate enough to be present caught up with one another over the past years and months, and the summer vacation period, our news file should be, as it is, at a decided low. Your secretary trusts that, after these summer months, each member of the class will again open up the keyboards or pick up pen or pencil and keep him advised of news of yourself and other Thirtymen so that the class records may be kept complete.

Word from George Chang is to the effect that after having made an inspection trip to different ports in China on behalf of the Central Bank of China to investigate foreign trade and exchange conditions, he has been transferred to Canton in Kwangtung province in charge of foreign exchange operations and as assistant manager. George had been in receipt of the MAGAZINE up to February of this year but wanted to make sure that he received the remaining issues at his new address.

Not having heard from him for some time, we were not only surprised but glad to find that Maurie Chait is now in Boston ("returned to civilization" as he puts it) and is General Manager of Scott Furriers, Inc., in Boston. The grapevine reports that BurtDowell was transferred by Continental & Western Airlines from Washington to their New York office at 521 Fifth Ave., in May of this year. Four recent promotions in the treasury department of the Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance Co. included that of Arch Clark to assistant manager, city mortgages. Arch joined Phoenix in 1935, was appointed inspector, city mortgages, in 1939, and became supervisor of city mortgages in 1942.

Sam Carlisle, who has been with the Corps of Engineers, New England Division, for the past five years in charge of Public Relations, Training, and as Advisor on Labor Relations, reports the birth of his second daughter, Miriam, at Wyman House in Cambridge on February 26 of this year. Sam's oldest daughter, Anne, is now four years old and Sam admits that both of the girls "are strictly Powers material." Margot and Si Chandler recently adopted a bouncing six-weeks-old boy who has been named Stephen and who no doubt will appear for matriculation in Hanover in the fall of 1963 with other '30 "legacies" of this past year to give that class a good background and send-off.

The August issue of the MAGAZINE reported the appointment of Al Dickerson as Director of Admissions of the College. Al's promotion to this most important post in the administrative offices in Hanover is one which every Dartmouth alumnus will agree is highly deserved and which all will admit is a fortunate choice for the College. Al's demonstrated ability in many fields makes certain his qualifications for this new job, and those of 1930 not only take pride in this new position for Al but extend to him our heartiest congratulations and the fullest extent of our help and cooperation in the complicated duties which will be his to perform.

Announcement was made late in June of the gift to the College by Carl Hafjenreffer and his brother Rudolph, Class of '25, of a collection of power tools and shop equipment, formerly used in the famed Hereshoff Shipyard in Bristol, for use in the College student workshop which is directed by Professor Virgil Poling which has attracted an increasing number of students and faculty members as amateur craftsmen.

Al Schumaker has moved from Rittman, Ohio, to Nutley, N. J., and is working for the Dicalite Co.—"diatomaceous earth," by this time Al has undoubtedly been in touch with the numerous Thirtymen in the vicinity of his new home.

In order that the Class records may be as complete as possible with respect to our "delayed Fifteenth" Reunion held in Hanover this last July, a special request is made for the forwarding to your secretary of copies of pictures, and especially movies, taken on that occasion. If movie reels could be forwarded by way of loan, it is most possible that we should wish to have copies made for the permanent class movies, and still snapshots, especially if in glossy print, might well find their way into these columns. Please send these along together with your letters which will be most welcome.

Secretary, Herrick, Smith, Donald & Farley 1 Federal St., Boston 10, Mass. Treasurer, 24 Jennys Lane, Barrington, R. I.
