1945
The fall school and football seasons have burst open together in great shape with the largest enrollment Dartmouth has seen, with bigger and better ball teams all over the country, and with Dartmouth '4ss helping out at both ends. After an exciting and excellent victory over Holy Cross just passed, the Big Green met Syracuse in Hanover, the same weekend school opened. This also was a tension-packed game, everyone was full of emotional spirits and the elder classes were full of the liquid kind too. As everyone by now must realize, the victory over Syracuse has already made this season twice as successful as in 1945; victory is always sweeter after drinking the dregs of defeat (even close defeats which are agonizingly more frustrating). Some '45s seen on the field, in the stands, and at various points around town included Art "interception" Carey, Mo "Mills punter" Monahan, Al "glue-fingers" Russell, and George Holy Crossicus (after the manner of the Romans) Pulliam;'also Jug Agry, Feep Aldom,George Barr, Maurie Baruth, Bill Berge, FredBontecou, Fred KC Byers, Tom Tiger Candler (that old drunken sot—how we enjoy this!), Fletch Clark, Howie Farrant, HowieGermaine, John Gooding, Bernie Leiberman,Barney Oldfield, Prentbottom Prentice, VeekSmith (who's grown another three inches), and John and Shirley Van Buren—huzza! huzza! surely a goodly number and almost all of them back as students.
Meanwhile the boys and girls are still at it;so we had best catch up on the latest chimesof the wedding bell. First, alphabetically atleast, is Jim Andrews, who has gotten himself engaged to Carol Lee Bick, Skidmore '45,now at Columbia for a Master's. With Jim atthe Long Island College of Medicine that'sgonna be one educated family! Also at theL.I.C. of M. is Ted Safford who recently became engaged to Jean Taylor of NYC, Katherine Gibbs, and Junior Bazaar Magazine.Last month's notes reported that Paul Gloverand Oscar Falling were engaged (to girlsnaturally, not each other) and already bothof them are married, and each one to thegirl he was engaged to. Paul and EleanorDiane Rose were married August 3 at Westbury, L. I.; Oscar Falling married John Jenmugs' sister Lois in Waltham on August.24. Both the Glovers and the Fallings are back at school. John Gooding has become engaged (in August) to a South Carolinian, Ethel Winston, of Lake City. Bob Lee was married July 27 to Mary Dawson. of Floral Park, N. Y., and Mount Holyoke with '45s DickConklin and Tracy Mitchell in attendance. Stan Newton and the former Ruth Phillips of Waterbury, Conn., and Emerson College, were married August 31. On July 20, Ensign Warren Smith took the step with Joan Hargrave of Alhambra, Calif., in Miami, and what will the California C of C have to say about that? Mr. and Mrs. S will be living in Hanover this fall. And John White, graduate of M.I.T. (Thayer School's Boston Annex), has engaged himself to Marion Morton of the state of Maine. We single guys are getting to be a vanishing race!
Last month we reported that Dick Murray married a girl whose name was Helen Carpenter. Well, we certainly slipped up (and are heartily sorry and blushingly embarrassed) because the young lady's name was Helen Keen (a Mary Hitchcock nurse, by the way). Anyhow we got her new name correct: it's still Mrs. Murray.
News from "all over the place"—JohnPlumrner, formerly a sergeant, was commended last spring for his work as an interpreter in the Japanese occupation. Last April Bob Paulson was promoted to first lieutenant and was attached to the signal section of allied headquarters in Caserta, Italy. Bob is married to the former Marjorie Norcross. In June Ed McCrum got his M.D. at the University of California and is now interning out there. Frank Edmands is manager of a trucking firm in Danvers, Mass. Win Sargent is with the Sun Chemical Corp. in NYC. Paul Pappy Talbot is out in San Francisco, but we have no idea what he's doing. MonkTaylor is with the U. S. Pipe and Foundry Co. of N. J. Bob Willcox is still going to school—this time it's Columbia. Charlie Baker is secretary and treasurer of the Baker Lumber Co., of Springfield, 111. Ken-yon Bird is working in Rye, N. Y„ as a draftsman, and John Campbell is with Mannington Mills of Salem, N. J. Max Goldfine is part of the textile industry of Boston. Dick Momsen is assistant manager of the Lake Champlain Club, and Jug Morgan is a sales engineer for the Warren Petroleum Corp. in Tulsa, out where they raise oil wells and football players. This paragraph is beginning to sound like the classified section of a phone book.
On the Hanover scene, the place is darn near lousy with '45s—Sachem Village is what Gordon Cray, Don Cutter, and CharlieWaterman call Jiome, and Ray O'Crowley hangs his hat at 4 Wigwam Circle. (With all this Indian lingo, we want to know where they hide the wampum.) Bob Haffenreffer, Mr. and Mrs. Harris Hinckley, Blair Mc-Clenachan, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Williams (at Tuck), and Phil Shatinon are back in town as transient permanents. (Phil served on the cruiser Santa Fe which went to the aid of the burning Franklin during the Pacific war.) Bob Anthony is assistant engineer for the town of Hanover; Bob's first job should be to iron out those frost heave wrinkles in Tuck Drive. Moose Rowan had the lead with the Players in The Late GeorgeApley and Bob Joy is still sparkling through that perennial favorite, Love Rides the Rails, we hear. Joe Young is business manager and Frank Hutchins is local advertising manager of the Daily D. Lee Kreindler is chairman of the Hanover chapter of the American Veterans Committee and at this writing the World Series is all tied up at one game apiece. Wah Hoo Wahs for all these achievers.
By the time the November ALUMNI MAG. comes out, the Yale game will be over, but we hope we will have had the pleasure of seeing lots of you guys down in the bowl as we make things tough for the Elis. And by all means drop us a line if you get the urge.
BRIDE AND GROOM, Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Crough '45 shown leaving the church following their recent wedding in New York City.
Acting Secretary, 273 Converse St., Longmeadow 6, Mass.
Treasurer, Steele Chemistry Bldg., Hanover, N. H.
