John Clark '32, Jack and Hazel's older son, of New Boston, N. H., has been named executive secretary of the steering committee which will organize the "Great Issues" course planned for Dartmouth seniors next year. John served with the Office of Strategic Services in Europe. His senior year, he was a Senior Fellow and Editor-in-Chief of the DailyDartmouth. For two years after graduation, he published a weekly newspaper and then went to the Washington Post as reporter and editorial writer. He later joined the International Labor Office for assignment in Latin America, transferring in 1940 to the Office of the Coordinator of Inter American Affairs in Washington. The "Great Issues" course, to be required of all Dartmouth Seniors starting next fall is the most significant feature of the College's recently revised curriculum. Pointing up the primary obligation of the College to serve society, it will "bring the foundation knowledge acquired by the student in the first three years of college into sharper focus on the great national and international problems of the world today which he must confront as an acting citizen." John has a new daughter, his fourth child. Alec Clark, now out of the Army, and his wife are living in Ridgewood, N. J. He is with the Rockefeller Personnel.
Warren Currier III was married on October 19 to Marian Rich at the Marble Collegiate Church, 29th St. and Fifth Avenue, New York. After the wedding, a reception and dinner were held at the Gramercy Park Hotel. Warren is with Allen and Company, investment bankers.
Howard Cowee's family spent the summer at Bass River, Cape Cod. Howard went down weekends. Barbara won the Memorial Day race and Howard won a couple of special races during the summer. He saw the Brown game at Providence.
It now develops that Captain Don Frothingham is still in uniform on active duty in Washington. Following his return from Holland in August, he enjoyed a thirty-days leave in the Adirondacks with his son Commander John, just in from the Pacific and John's new wife. Don met Commander Sandy Stearns of the South Orange Stearns' in London last summer. Don and Sandy worked together managing the ceremonial visit of the United States Fleet and Admiral Hewitt in Holland in July. Don came out of that job with a strong admiration for the ability of Commander Sandy. Don's Washington, D. C., address is 1808 Eye Street, N. W., Washington, D. C.
Dutch Elwell was in the Massachusetts General Hospital the last week of October. We have not had any reports on his condition and progress since that time.
Art Lewis's son Jack is with the LewisShepard Co., in charge of the production program on a new electric truck after working at Field Artillery Production for nearly five years in the Army. Art's daughter Virginia is living and working in Palm Beach, Fla.; Carolyn is living in Boston after four and a half years residence at the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard, Sally is in her last year at Milton Academy.
John Hinman's son Howard is assistant manager of the Company's Kraft paper mill at Camden; Edward is assistant superintendent of the newsprint mill at Dalhousie, N. B.; Crawford has a fellowship in Pathology for six months at the Free Hospital for Women in Boston; Dick graduated from Dartmouth in September and is now attending Thayer School.
Art Rotch has been pretty quiet and circumspect since his dentist began working on him in July. He saw the Holy Cross game and is the proud owner of a shiny new Chrysler (adv.) The October issue of the Vagabond edited by Thomas Drier contained the following paragraph;
L. G. Treadway of the Treadway Inns writes from Williamstown that he approves of the jabs and pokes I inflicted on cigarette smokers who stink up homes of non-smokers. But he wants a knife into the fellow who leaves cigar butts in the ash tray. He says he hates the smell of stale cigarette butts, but he hates even more cigar butts.
Lela went east the last week of October to visit our Mary at Smith for several days and to go from there to Hanover to visit Bill. While in Northampton, she and Mary had dinner one evening with Mort and Marguerite Hull at Holyoke and report a most enjoyable evening. Lela stretched out her visit in Hanover long enough to see the Harvard game. As we belatedly go to press, she has just reached home. Mike and Annis Stearns and Mort Hull were in Hanover for the game. There may easily have been other members of the class among the 16,000 at Memorial Field whom she did not see. As near as we can make out from her first report, she had such a good time that she hopes President John Dickey will ask her to play the piano at the Convocation exercises when College opens next fall and she plans to get a season ticket from Bill McCarter for all home football games next year and to attend the Winter Carnival as well as Commencement, and the Class Reunion.
