Around the middle of September, MaxKenyon took off on a two weeks' business trip to Mexico City, according to the Saddle River notes in the Ridgewood (N. J.) News.
Will Nicholson left Denver on September
15, to take a two weeks' stretch of Army active duty in Washington, D. C.
On August 20, Harvey Moses was elected vice-president of the Third National Bank and Trust Co., of Springfield, Mass. He assumed the duties of that office in addition to his duties as trust officer. After Dartmouth, Harvey was graduated from John Marshall Law School, Chicago, and entered the bank in 1925. His elevation to a vice-presidency speaks well for the judgment of the Board of Directors. (Harvey, from one Ticonderoga boy to another, special congratulations upon your promotion.)
Unless something turned up at the last minute to prevent it, Dick and Mary Louise Willis attended the national convention of the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company in mid-September at Mackinac Island, Michigan. His right to participate in the three days of educational and recreational activities accrued to Dick as the result of outstanding accomplishment as a New England representative of the company.
In a letter bearing the address as Route Three, Excelsior, Minnesota, Louis Gluek wrote in part as follows:
"The doctors decided that I did not need all of my right lung so they cut out part of it. That was in June, and they have still got me in bed. I hope to be back on the job around the first of the year if everything goes right."
Everything will go right, Louis, and I want to point out that, under the new system, our 30th Reunion comes in June of 1951.
One evening last summer, Carter, Allie and Barbie Hoyt, Carroll Dwight and daughter Mary Gay, Odie Lee, and I were entertained in Carter's home by Andy Marshall, who brought with him and ran off the movies he filmed at Reunion. They are in color and good. Andy has thoughtfully offered the films for any class groups that may wish to view them. They will be available in the near future after they have been titled and reassembled.
Dick and Mary Litchfield were at the Hanover Inn the early part of August. Apparently, a mid-summer trip to include a stop-over in Hanover is an annual affair for them. It is a nice custom.
After several summers at St. Johnsbury, MaiClarke conducted his summer school for boys at Lyndon Center, Vermont, this past season and expects to continue it there as the Lyndon Summer School. During the regular school year, Mai carries out his duties as a member of the faculty in the schools of Bronxville, N. Y.
After a highly profitable six weeks of instructions this past summer at Mai Clarke's school, Bill Bullen Jr. was accepted at Kimball Union Academy for the current year.
Killie and Elizabeth Kilmarx were at the Hanover Inn on September 2.
Ted and Beth Robie, with their daughters, spent the last half of the summer season on Cape Cod.
Andy Marshall met Harry Wellman and Charlie Throop for dinner in Pittsburgh on June 26. Harry is district traffic superintendent for Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania, while Charlie serves Pittsburgh Steel Company as assistant superintendent of the coke plant at Monessen, Pa.
Without knowing where he was between Reunion and that date, I do know that WesNutten returned to Hanover with Mrs. Nutten on June 28.
Bill Cunningham recently granted the privilege of reprinting one of his articles at no charge to The New Hampshire Troubadour upon the request of its editor, Andrew Heath.
One day not so long ago, I looked out of my fifth floor office window just in time to see Sylvester Bingham alight from a taxi. I was unsuccessful in my attempt to attract his attention. My guess is that he was being conducted on a shopping trip.
A while back, in passing through Greenfield, Mass., it was my good luck to happen upon Clif Akey. It was the occasion for a brief but pleasant visit.
Shortly after Reunion, I was in St. Louis with a short wait between trains. I reached Doc Colton by 'phone to tell him how impressed we all were with the able farewell address delivered by his son as 1947 Class Valedictorian. Doc was very modest about it, but I am as certain as one can be of anything that he was bursting with pride.
Then I tried to get a call through to BenRassieur but repeated attempts right up to the time of my train departure resulted in nothing but busy signals. This was between five and six in the evening and from my own experience at home those busy signals indicated the presence of one or more teen-agers in the Rassieur household.
Long before this issue arrives, you will have received the statement of current class dues. If you have not attended to it already, won't you please send your check to Carroll Dwight now. Your prompt response will lighten Carroll's task. Remember that the modest sum of four dollars not only takes care of your share of the operating expenses of the Class but also covers a subscription to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE.
I am always looking for news to fill this column. At this time, many of you have sons and daughters away at school. If you will furnish me with the details I think it would be nice to publish the information here. Maybe some of our youngsters are in school together, and we are not aware of it.
There will be a gathering of members of the Class in the Boston area on October 24, the evening before the Dartmouth-Harvard game. This affair is being planned and promoted by George Stanley. It seems certain that the attendance will be large.
Secretary-Chairman, 38 Newbury St., Boston 16, Mass.
Treasurer, 111 Laurel Road, Chestnut Hill 67, Mass.
Class Agent, 61 Clinton Ave., Ridgewood, N. J.
