1925

A dividend will be declared in September by Jerman & Jerman of 323 West 4th St., New York. To take care of the addition to the family in suitable luxury, Paul has started building a new home at Shippan Point, Stamford Conn. So it's a race between the stork and the contractor. Paul recently became a partner in the architectural firm of Hart, Jerman and Associates of 247 Park Ave., New York They're -up to their ears in orders, but only up to their ankles in bricks.

Jim Adams is again a stock broker. He is with A. G. Edwards & Sons at 61 Wall St after an exciting experience in England France and Germany, making a hard-boiled analysis of the amount of damage done by aerial bombs. Many of his findings went into the huge and very convincing report that was published by the Air Forces.

Milt Emerson, vice president of United Piece Dye Works at Lodi, N. J. is leaving soon for Los Angeles to set up a factory on the Coast for his firm. Walt and his wife and fourteen-year-old daughter live in Teaneck.

Attention of Pete Haffenreffer: Ken Hill writes from Boston: "If the boys want beer this Reunion they had better remember the 50% cut in production and start saving now!"

Eddie Pease, one of the very few remaining bachelors in 1925, is an enthusiastic bowler. He is secretary of the Boston Duckpin League. Ed will serve again as assistant treasurer of the class at Reunion in July to make sure everyone pays cash on the line.

A May wedding is planned by Miss Eleanor Brinley of Washington and New York and Carl Pipsohn. Miss Brinley is a graduate of Chandler School. Carl is on the staff of the Boston Chamber of Commerce and is an instructor at Northeastern University. We hope they'll have a second honeymoon at 1925's 20th Reunion on July 26th.

Dr. Ed Ober of Painted Post, N. Y., took a few days off from his busy practice and stayed with his wife at the Hanover Inn.

Here's the 20-year-r£sume from Slim Baumann:

After leaving Hanover, I went to work for the Telephone Cos., Tacoma, Wash. In 1929 after a nine months' training course in New York, I went to work for the National City Co., security affiliate of National City Bank, San Francisco office. In 1932, I Sailed on the four-masted schooner, Lome Bennet, f he Bering Sea, in quest of king salmon, and five months. Shortly after my return, I Went to work in the San Francisco office of Blyth & Company, investment bankers. In 1937 I resigned to To work for the Pennsylvania Salt Mfg. Cos., Tacoma, Wash where I was in charge of the sale T othe production of their Portland Oregon, plant, md the promotion of a new agricultural insecticide on a national basis.

In 1942 I resigned to go to work for the David D Bohannon Organization, largest community developers in the country at this time During the war done we built over 4,000 homes My present position is vice president and general manager. Among activities is the development of San Lorenzo Village the largest private enterprise development in the country. We have, at present, 1,492 homes in this tract and are getting operations under way to construct an additional 1,000 to 1,500. This may make it very difficult for me to attend the Reunion as our operations will be in full swing in July. If 1 do not attend, I will certainly make a trip to Hanover and way points later in the year

I was married in 1935 and have three children, a girl 8 boys 4 and 6, both of whom have been registered at Dartmouth. In case any '25er's should be coming here to live, I can promise them a house to live in which should be some inducement for them to look me up. I live at 525 Dorchester Rd., San Mateo, Calif.

As you may know, Commander Phil Coykendall has been working with our organization for the last five months. He is employed to head our Engineering Department and has done such a bang-up job that he has just been promoted to construction superintendent as well as being in charge of engineering. He has made me look very good, having recommended him so strongly for the opening we had.
