1930
Plans for our Reunion the weekend of July ig, 20, and 21 are progressing. By the time you read this, further details will have reached you, so for the present we shall merely urge you to make your plans to join the Thirty throng in Hanover this summer. Si Chandler, who staged our frivolous Fifth and tremendous Tenth Reunions, has again agreed to serve as chairman of the committee, and is now busy with his cohorts lining up a program which will make this the best gathering we have ever had. Besides the fun and opportunity to see your classmates, our contemporaries in the classes of '2B, '29 aad '3l will be in Hanover at the same time, so you will see friends in other classes who were in college at the time we were.
Charlie Widmayer has found the picture of our Reunion banquet in Commons, taken at our Tenth, and promises to try to find room for it in a subsequent issue of the MAGAZINE.
The Hanover Inn has arranged to furnish class secretaries with the names of members of their classes who have been in town, and from this source we learn that the Bill Blanchards and the Clarence Bensons were in Hanover for the New Year holidays, and a bit of skiing. Major Bill Doran was there the following week to rig up a deal between the Dartmouth Medical School and the Veterans' Hospital in White River Junction, which he negotiated successfully; and a few days later, Hughie Johnson was there for the Alumni Council meeting.
While in Chicago for a convention late in January your secretary had a brief reunion with Hank Embree, Mickey Emrich, Newell Rumpf, Fred Schmidt and Fred Uhlemann at an Alumni luncheon. It was the first time in years we had seen Newell and the two Freds. The latter are a little heavier, while Newell looked just the same, and was modestly accepting congratulations from all on his promotion to assistant vice president of the Harris Trust and Savings. Later we bumped into Bob Rix on a Palmer House elevator, where Bob was attending an orthopedic convention.
Mrs, George Peek Morrow has announced the marriage of her daughter Rosemary to Mr. Harry Sproull Casler on Thursday, the seventeenth of January at the Church of the Transfiguration, New York City. (That's the Little Church Around the Corner to you.) Harry is now with the State Department in Washington, and he and Rosemary are living on their Maryland farm.
In a letter to Charlie Raymond, Sandy McColloch brings us up to date on the Hildreths and McCollochs. Sandy writes:
We just-got back from a weekend up in the wilds of Billerica with the Hildreths. They have found beautiful old colonial home there with a firet are in every room, which they have recondifinned and modernized sufficiently for present-day living without destroying the charm ot the early L home. It really is something. Roger is doing Snlte well, but is much too busy with the housing shortage being what it is. I got out of the service in October and have been in the housing whirl, finally finding a place in Arlington which we hope M occupy sometime before I retire on my social security Lina sold the Maiden house as I had intended to settle in Ohio. I was fortunate to land a nh after about a month of hunting, and am learnns the fine points of false teeth in the best outfit n the business. The future looks assured and the prospects very favorable... .. As you probably know I got my commission in 42, went to Harvard for communications and finally got sea duty with the Armed Guard. Spent all my time in the Atlantic and Mediterranean, missing a Pacific cruise by days as V-J Day caught us on the way to New Orleans to load for the great co-prosperity sphere.
Charlie Street also got out of the Navy lastOctober. At last reports he and his wife wereabout to take a delayed honeymoon beforeCharlie settled down once more to businesslife.
Jack Fitzpatrick has been appointed agency supervisor of the State Mutual Life Assurance Cos. Prior to entering the service, Fitz, a chartered life underwriter, had served as agency organizer for the Boston office of the Mutual Life Insurance Cos., of New York. According to an announcement in the Cincinnati Post, Paul Hoffman has been appointed to the executive staff of the Ford Motor Co.'s general sales division.
Major Dud Ferguson has returned to the U. S. for discharge, after twenty-nine months overseas. Dud served with the Fifth Air Force in its sweep through New Guinea, Netherlands East Indies, the Philippines and Okinawa. In Korea he was stationed at Seoul University. Major Heinie Stewart is also out of the service, and says his Tyrone, Pa., address will suffice until he can End himself once more settled down in civilian medical practice.
Judging from the latest list of address changes received from the Alumni Records Office, we assume that Jack Keating, Jim Mitchell, Snub Poehler, Tex Stigall, Phil Dakin and Ken Mac Donald have also resumed their civilian pursuits. Although we have heard that Cotton Holmes is out of the Navy, we have learned that both he and Ted Seidman received promotions to the rank of lieutenant commander.
Dick Temple, associated with his father and brother in the practice of law, has been appointed City Solicitor of Marlborough by Mayor Allen. Dick seems to be following the footsteps of his law partners, for his father, Class of '97, is a former mayor, and his brother, Class of '23, served as the solicitor fifteen years ago. Dick is also a trustee of the Marlborough Savings Bank, a director of the Boys' Club, a member of the Rotary Club, Home Guard and a past Master of United Brethren Lodge.
We were extremely sorry to learn from Herm Schneebeli that Bill Smith's wife, Emily, died last October. Bill is living at the University Club, gth and Broom Streets, in Wilmington, Del. His eight-year-old daughter, Christine, attends a boarding school nearby. Bill himself was hospitalized for over a month last year with stomach hemorrhages. Herm, who is sweating out points at the Holston Ordnance Works, Kingston, Tenn., also said he had not seen Jim Dunlap for a long time, but understood the stork was hovering over Lancaster, Pa., again.
Alex McFarland is bemoaning the loss of one of his ace assistant agents, Joe Golan, by virtue o£ the fact that Joe has been given a tremendous job by Eastman Kodak, involving the building up of their foreign plants and markets.
If any of you care to come out to Montclair, N. J., after the 20th of March, Shaw Cole, Fred Page, Jack Wooster and Bud French will be glad to line up their cars for you and proudly show you their four new license plates, each bearing the sacred figures, 30 D.
See you in Hanover July 19th!
