1913
Best wishes for a Merry Christmas to you all!
Herb Osborne is chief of the Product Design Dept. of the Webster Electric Co. at Racine, Wis. Oil burner accessories and sound equipment are what they manufacture.
Herman Parkinson as chief of stocks at the New York Public Library in N. Y. City has his work cut out for him these days of school book scarcities and an unusual call on the libraries. He lives at 184 Longview Ave., White Plains, N. Y. While not usually found in attendance at Dartmouth affairs his father is always among those present in Hanover.
Lloyd Riford is president of the Beacon Milling Co. in Cayuga, N. Y., and lives in Auburn..... Carl Shumway has been released from active service with the Navy and is back at R.F.D. No. 1, West Peabody, Mass., taking his leisure before starting in a "new job."
Since Kippy Tuck wrote to us for the reunion in July he has been raised to the rank of Ambassador and the Legation in Cairo to that of an Embassy. He started in 1913, also in Egypt, as a Deputy Vice Consul "not of career" and now is at the top of the Service in the same country 33 years later. Kippy did it the hard way without any pull. His story is interesting and the list of offices and countries is long and impressive. We shall hope for it all later, but now we're indebted to Alec Tuck for the information of the Ambassador title.
John Peterson is assistant manager of the W. H. Hill Envelope Co. in Worcester, Mass., another business where everything would be fine if you or they could get the "raw stock" to manufacture their product. Pete lives at 11 Pomma Road in Worcester..... Phil Sauer is in the Marketing Research Division of Brown & Bigelow in St. Paul—Remembrance Advertising. As he lives in Minneapolis he divides his time between the twin cities Ed Stilles is Chief Engineer for the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co. at Trail, British Columbia. No very recent information from him aside from his address, but we hope young Edwin has been back from overseas for a long time Bill Tapley is Professor of Law at St. John's University Law School in Brooklyn, N. Y. He also lives in Brooklyn on 181 Maple St., evidently near where the tree grew, if it was a maple.
E. Clayt Tucker is vice president of the Chemical Paper M£g. Co., Crocker McElwain Co., in Holyoke and lives on Yale St., that city Harold Underwood has joined those in our class in the Retired group. He's living at Carmel, California and can be reached through Box 2754 Chet Vander Pyl is vice president of E. H. Edwards Co., with offices at 200 Bush St., in San Francisco. He commutes from Burlingame (1572 Columbus Ave.) and we are sure he met President Dickey in Frisco on November 26th.
Parker Trowbridge of Worcester was reelected president of the Bay State Society for the Crippled and Handicapped, Inc. in October. At the meeting the increased need for care of the cerebral palsied children was discussed. Buy your Easter Stamps when the time comes.
Major Tom Sullivan was supposed to have sailed on Oct. 23, 1946 from Tokyo, Japan for Frisco and the hospital there, or one in some other state. He had two operations at St. Luke's (Episcopal) Hospital (now 42nd U. S. Hospital) and left for duty too soon, worked until almost exhausted and was sent for a rest to the Jap Mountains near Odawara, (South Yokohama). On another return to duty, however, he had two heart attacks and landed in the 42nd General Hospital again and is now evacuated to the U. S. A. He and Walter Nolan are the last of the class left in the army.
HANOVER PARAGRAPH: Furniture and meat shortage hit Hanover and the students before and after college opening. Any old dish was raked out and "did." We know of one dish that did yeoman service in 1918-1922 and is now used by the second generation. Meat and mostly poultry with some beef stew on Sunday and liver on Monday on the Coffee Shop Menu. Butchers' aprons in the meat shop were spotless clean The Dartmouth is making an intensive drive for trained personnel according to Editor Howard D. Samuel, '46, son of Ralph Samuel.... "get into the DOC and then get out and know the North Country" President Dickey tells the freshmen sound advice Dartmouth House is open in College Hall and Mrs. Margaret Broderick, hostess, is in charge. She will be remembered by many as having been such a wonderful hostess for the College and the Navy in the C & G House while it was the Hostess House during the war. More power to her No parking for cars in Hanover this winter so "get your car out of town or under cover or it will be plowed under"; 300-400 cars there now for which there will be no parking space
Something new in student government at Dartmouth In October an Undergraduate Council was proposed, composed of the captains of all athletic teams, chairmen of the executive committees of the upper classes, a representative from each fraternity and dormitory, each publication and functional organization, and from the honor societies. It will out rank the old Palaeopitus The Aegis for '47 will have the pictures of the three senior classes, '45, '46 and '47. It has not been published since the beginning of the war.
Secretary, Box 2057, Boston 6, Mass.
