1930
There I was, far afield for a Bostonian and even further afield for a small town Westerner, —riding in New York's interborough subway. Notwithstanding the good and rare fortune of having a seat, I was nevertheless selfconscious of my status as a foreigner in a strange land, —that is, until my eyes, merely by chance, drifted toward the end of the car. There it was,—there was no mistake because it was double life size, spread entirely across the end of the car, and emblazoned on a field of red and white,—none other than the likeness of balding Don Cole with the news for all to see, —"Donald Cole has switched to Calvert be- cause Calvert is smoother." Having subse- quently seen newspaper advertisements to the same effect (also with Don's picture but pro- portionately reduced in size) there seems to be little doubt of Don's "conversion." What the subsidiary effects of this publicity for Don may be remains to be seen. There may prove to be some analogy from Carl Haffenreffer's pub- licity of Narragansett. To all of us, we shall never forget the slogan of "rich, creamy, mel- low," but as a result of Narragansett's broad- casts of the Boston baseball games this season, arranged by Carl, during which announcer Jim Britt frequently used the catch words which are now famous, we find our children literally screaming "Hi, neighbor," at the sight of every Narragansett sign along the highways.
Some time ago we referred to a Boston cartoonist depicting the likeness of Al Dickerson with the inscription below it of Dr. Dickerson. We have since learned that the cartoonist was correct. In connection with his appointment as Director of Admissions of the College, Al was made a full professor of the College, which gives him full faculty rating. Incidentally, can you name all of the Thirtymen who are officially connected with the College, other than through Alumni organizations? There is no intent to make these notes a "quiz program," but someone asked the question some time ago and in next month's note we will give the answer after an official checking with Hanover.
Blair Wood used his vacation this last June as an opportunity to see the North Country once again after a lapse of several years and drove his family on from Waterloo, lowa. Woodie was seriously injured while serving in the Navy during the war, but reports that that is entirely a thing of the past John "Red"Holme, who previously was Product Advertising Manager of Libby, McNeill & Libby, joined the General Foods organization in September as Merchandising and Advertising Manager of the Franklin Baker Division of General Foods Corporation. Those of you in New York undoubtedly saw this announcement and accompanying picture of Red in the metropolitan papers Gene Zagat took time out from his multiple activities to enter his son, Eugene Henry Zagat Jr., in the Class of 1961. In addition to having given lectures at C.C.N.Y. to ex-G.l.'s on the practical phases of locating and renting a store, Gene's other activities have recently included membership on the Board of Trustees of the Educational Alliance, a large settlement house on the Lower East Side of New York, and membership on the One World Award Committee which sent Norman Corwin on a world flight last year and which, this year, gave its awards to LaGuardia, Toscanini and Frederic March.
The principal speaker at the Dartmouth night festivities at the Dartmouth Club in New York, on October 10, was Eddie Jeremiah. The reports were unanimous that Eddie is not only a nationally famous hockey coach, but a real purveyor of the Dartmouth spirit and an excellent speaker Thanks to LeeEisler, who continues in the advertising business with Doherty, Clifford and Shenfield in New York, and who intimates that the assurances of some of his friends that he may not retain his batchelor status indefinitely may be correct, we are able to report on Gene Scadron's wedding on last June 6. Gene's bride was Margot de Vaulchier, a graduate of the Shipley School at Bryn Mawr, an editor of Mademoiselle magazine and the goddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Berle Jr. Gene and Margot were married at the Berle home and honeymooned in Jamaica. In addition to his private practice, Gene is Assistant Clinical Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Bellevue Hospital. Among those present at the wedding was Henry Kohn. Henry is now at the Oak Ridge Atom Bomb Plant studying "radiation sickness" for the U. S. Public Health Service During August, MerrillHayes and his wife, Bill Jessup and his family, Captain Jack Smith and AI Marsters were visitors at the Inn in Hanover JerryPearre and Bud Fisher of Pontiac, Michigan, both went to Chicago this last spring for the Alumni Council meeting, and both were reported as "looking like of old."
Jerry Goodman reports that he has resigned his position with the Florsheim Shoe Company, having for some time had the idea that he would like to be his own boss, and is now in the process of trying to find a business of his own to purchase. Jerry continues to live in Highland Park, Illinois Alex Hughes, who now lives in Westport, Connecticut, was a visitor with his wife to Chicago during the fall and had a reunion with the GeorgeGeigers and the Bob McClorys. Alex's four children range from 13 years down to six months Lee Chilcote was in New York during September on a hurried business meeting but did get in touch with Bud French to check up on the New York boys.
A recent check of our 1930 class records produced the following interesting statistics: 61 fellows apparently retain their bachelor status; there are 454 wives in the 1930 family, 313 daughters and 324 sons (the latter is sure to be a blow to Director of Admissions Dickerson). Pete Lillard, Nels Rockefeller and EdButterworth appear to have the largest families—Pete with four girls and one boy, Nel- son with three boys and two girls, and Ed with five girls. The foregoing statistics should be taken with a huge grain of salt, however, because notwithstanding the most efficient work of the Alumni Records Office, our class records are most incomplete. One of you is even recorded as having three children but no wife. The class records are important for a number of reasons and very shortly we propose to send to each of you a short questionnaire. Please co-operate in completing that questionnaire so that the class records may be fully up to date.
