1924

Congratulations to Don Coyle who has been appointed by the Alumni Association as our new Alumni Fund Agent. He is taking the place of Mike Watkins who found it necessary to resign because of a heavy business schedule in connection with his work with the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Company in Chicago. The class is fortunate in having Don as the new agent because he is well qualified for this position. He has been active in Dartmouth affairs in New York and was assistant agent for a number of years before he left for war service. During the war Don was captain in the Marine Corps and saw service at Quantico, Parris Island and was sent overseas in August 1944 as transportation officer of a Marine scout bombing squadron. He took part in the Philippines campaigns as adjutant in a Marine bombing squadron. Since December 1, 1945, Don has been back at his old desk in the New York Trust Company. Let's all get in back of Don and help him put over this year's campaign. It's not a one-man job. It takes the cooperation of every member of the class.

Sam Stickney was recently appointed branch manager of Diebold Incorporated in Los Angeles. He was formerly assistant manager of the branch at St. Paul, Minn. Good luck to you, Sam, at your new job Bevo Beers has just written on the stationery of the Magdalena Fruit Company, Santa Marta, Colombia, South America, as follows:

My presence at the class Reunion has practically made a new man out of me. After seeing how well some twenty-odd years had treated my classmates, I felt the sap rising in my arteries again. Nothing else would do but I stowed away the golf clubs (used mostly for getting to the 10th hole) and I brought out the old tennis racquet and got it restrung. After an eight-year layoff, and with the Metropolitan Life Insurance ads in my mind, I started at the bottom of the ladder and worked up gradually through mixed doubles, men's doubles, and was just about to try singles again when it happened. I think all the muscles in the back of my right leg, from knee to ankle, let go at once. Two months later, on Thanksgiving Day, I got out of the hospital with a gait like "Louie the Gimp." The doc says that the limp will go away in time and to sell the racquet, get out the clubs again and settle for waltzes at the New Year's Dance. As soon as ye gam gets a little better we are all packing up and going to Colombia again. That should be in a couple of weeks if all goes well. I've flown this route so many times I could give Burton Holmes aces and spades.

Here's the story on the Harvard game, received from Luit Luitwieler on December 12.

Apparently there were quite a few members of the class on hand. Sally and I and my daughter, Sally, went up on the special train Saturday morning from Winchester and met Norma and Red Maloney and their son, Jerry, at the Hanover Inn. We had lunch together and went on down to the game; we saw there the Wheatleys, the Higleys, ParkerHicks, Whittaker and the Leamards with their children and Goddard and the Briscoes. Undoubtedly several of the Hanover contingent were present, but I did not run into them. It was an excellent game and if it had not been for the wonderful outcome of the Princeton game, I think it would have been the best game that Dartmouth played. We left right after the game on the special which was well crowded and a very enjoyable time was had by all.

The Cornell game marked finis on football for a while. Harry Holmlund has written us as follows: "I went to the Cornell game withTubber Weymouth '26, Monty Phillips '27,and all our wives. We went down on a specialcar from Rochester and saw very few people atthe game. Harlan Miller and his wife werethere, but I do not recall seeing anyone elsefrom the class of '24.

The New York Times and other papers associated with the Associated Press carried adispatch recently concerning Ted Lamb, alongwith his picture. The A.P. dispatch, dated atToledo, December 28, was headlined: "Edward Lamb, Who Won First Portal Suit, WarnsUnions on Possible Congress Action," andstated:

The lawyer who set in motion the series of employe overtime suits against manufacturers, now snowballed into an enormous sum, advised unions today to proceed cautiously. Edward Lamb said that the union leaders and their lawyers should not risk tough, restrictive action from Congress by asking "fabulous and reckless" amounts of the portal-toportal pay. Mr. Lamb, who obtained from the United States Supreme Court a decision that employers must pay for all substantial time a worker spent at his site of work at an employer's request, said in an interview: "Attorneys filing these suits for back pay shouldn't try to name the sum they think is due the workers. Such a suit itself is only an accounting action, asking the Court to say how much. But it is not necessary and it is unwise to specify these fabulous and reckless sums. They frighten industry and may stir Congress to adopt restrictive legislation in the coming session." Although he has been retained by numerous unions planning to claim portal pay, Mr. Lamb himself plans to take off for a vacation next month at an Idaho winter resort. "The last time I was out there skiing," he smiled, "I sprained both ankles and was otherwise pretty badly banged up. I hope I am not as clumsy next month." Mr. Lamb, who is 44, lives with his wife and two children in a 118-year-old house on a suburban twenty-five-acre estate on the Maumee River, where he collects autographs, first editions and historic documents for a hobby. His autographs include those of all Presidents. Educated at Dartmouth College and Harvard and Western Reserve Universities, he said he practiced law "for the fun of it" and had "the largest non-paying practice in the country." He has taken part in numerous Civil Liberties cases. With Kenneth D. Tooill he publishes The Erie (Pa.) Dispatcb-Herald-Sun, and is president of the Unity Corporation, which operates radio stations WTOD and WTOD- FM here.
