1943
Here's that man again! We're really starting to roll though now—how'd you like that long newsy column last month? That's only the beginning. Thanks to each and every one of you, our column is going to be equally as newsy every month from now on!
I've installed a new system—now have eight fellow-classmen located throughout the country. There's Bill Remsen in New York, JimAdams in Flint, Mich., Sparky Adams in Missouri, George Barlow in New Jersey, JimDewey and Jim Olsen in the Chicago area, Dick Wood in Lebanon and Bill Maeck in Hanover. There may be some more names added soon—any volunteers would be greatly appreciated. These fellows are my official "news-gatherers" and they'll be out for blood —so keep them posted! They are also going to organize local class meetings so be on the watch for those—we've got to stimulate our class spirit. I am arranging to send our class movies on to those banquets, football movies, etc., so give those fellows your support.
As for me—how about sending me any newspaper clippings about yourself, don't be bashful! Engagements, weddings, birth announcements are a must—always put me on your mailing list! I want to have all the news that we print up-to-date!
"Cub-reporter" Remsen, in his first report, mentions that Al Hardie has left the insurance business in Hartford to go to Harvard Business School. Give us a call when you hit town, Al, and that goes for anyone else, too, by the way! Bill says Guy and Mrs. Mallett are in Paris writing for some newspaper, or something. Last I heard he was with T.W.A.who knows what's what? Chuck Feeney spends his mornings at Fordham Law School and afternoons helping "Uncle Horace" Stoneham and his Giants try to climb back up into the baseball limelight.
Jim Adams reported and sent a picture, too. He is trying to organize a Dartmouth Club in his area—anyone interested contact Jim. He reports that Ernie Guisti is about to pay him a visit.
Nice long letter from Jim Dewey—now at 5555 instead of 555 Sheridan Road, Chicagoyou're really on the beam, Jim, keep up the good reporting. He reports on the Chicago Alumni Association dinner at which he saw Paul Shroeder, Bud Younglove, Don Sheridan '44, Fred Lent, Shaxvty Shaw and Bob Craig. The latter had a baby a few weeks ago.
Scan the pages of Life Magazine these days because the wedding in pictures of Bob Meservey and Patti Hill will be there. It was a very unusual affair—all in ski togs. The article in the Dartmouth went as follows:
The bride wore a silver grey ski jacket, embellished with a multi-colored collar, _ ski pants to match and brown ski boots. She carried a spray of evergreens with a red ribbon. Leaving the church after the ceremony, the newly-weds passed under an arch of ski poles. The ushers, composed of former members of the ski-team, were clad in their oak green ski suits with the letter "D" on the front.
This month the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Boston has its annual banquet—hope to see all"of you Bostonians there. President Dickey is to be the main speaker, and the "Wheelock Tavern" will be in full swingsee you there!
The postcards are still rolling in, so I want to get more of that news over to you. Down Texas way, Matt Smith is working in the states of Texas and Oklahoma for the Balcrank Cos., in selling Lubrication Equipment. Art Handy, he says, married Margaret Brennerman in Austin a short while ago. Bob Scott reports the birth of his son Chandlee on July 15, 1946. Fred Coldwell is working for a retail furniture company in Middletown, N. Y. The long lost Hud King finally ended up in Chicago"looking." He too had a son, T.H.K. Jr., born October 15th.
Ted Hopper, now with U. S. Industrial Chemical Institute working in the research lab on development of synthetic protective coatings, sends news that Norton Grubb is in Santiago, Chile, working for the Standard Oil of Chile. Frank Slingluff is at the University of Texas in Austin studying oil engineering. Frank, you, Matt Smith and Art Handy should get together.
Here's a recent birth announcement—Laura Jeanne—born to Peter and Mrs. Southwick of Rolla, Mo., on January sth of this year. Pete's at the Missouri School of Mines studying for his B.S. and M.S. in geology.
Up in Seattle, I received word that DickSmith is a senior at the University of Washington. Walt Daggatt, Assistant Sales Manager for the Rubberset Company in Newark, reports the birth of his son, Pete—six months ago, southpaw, too.
Don Walls also became a Pop last summer, girl, born on August 20. He's a printing salesman in New York.
Harry Bishop, M.D. is now stationed at the Vets Hospital in Cheyenne, Wyoming—18 months to go before his discharge. "Unknown" is a "desk jockey" with the U. S. Rubber Company in New York City—he didn't sign his name. Come on out whoever you arel BobBrown, Assistant to Industrial Relations VicePresident of the Richardson Company, reports that he sees Ged Carrington some. Ged's in the Advertising business. Working for himself in a partnership set-up is Gardner Colson, a textile convertor and jobber in New York City, Art Clement, he reports, is with NBC in New York. Studying at Teachers' College of Columbia in preparation to teaching Russian History is Jim Evans. Finally, I have word from Chris McCord that he is a ward officer in communicable diseases at the Walter Reed General Hospital.
Johnny Kos told me the other day that Johnny Krol became a Pop in December—son, and it is reported that his hands are large like his old man's.
I've asked Bill Maeck to write to all the nongrads of our class telling them how they can get the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. If anyone has any further questions, drop me a note, any questions about anything, for that matter!
Now for some letters: Bob Moyer, reporter for the Evening Sun in Baltimore, and Secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Baltimoresent a swell letter. Thanks, Bob, you've seen your news spread throughout the column. JimKerley wrote—Jim, I've sent that "item" up to the MAGAZINE.
Jerry Riley also wrote, and by now he has seen his picture in print. Jerry, Tiger's address is c/o A, Kiger Jewelry Cos., Kansas City 13, Mo.
A belated report on Bob Fuicks. Bob sent a nice long letter. He is married and works at the New York Daily News in the Merchandising Department in charge of durable goods. He sends the following news—Graham Conkling working for a textile firm in New York, Ed O'Brien with Revere Copper and Brass, but leaving soon to go to the far northwest to work for a lumber company, JohnTrosier married in September and, finally, ScottyMitchell is with G. E. at Schenectady.
Bob Dodge sent a newspaper clipping which I'm trying to get printed in the MAGAZINE. He's with Liberty Mutual in New York City. I announced last month of Walt Howe's Commission in the Foreign Service. Walt wrote a nice letter telling that he will be leaving soon for Batavia, Java, for a twoyear tour of duty.
Charlie Cusack writes about his new set-up out in the wild and wooly west—he's with the Industrial Indemnity Cos., specializing in Workmen's Compensation Insurance. He expects an offspring in February—must be here by now. Charlie, BillJones' address is R.D. No. 1, Box 341, Schenectady, N. Y. I see lots of Farmer Mead, around town these days. Charlie says to tell Paul Hanlon that there is a secretary out there from West Roxbury that thinks he used to be pretty sharp—what do you mean, used to be?
Smed Ward wrote a nice newsy letter and also a picture, which I've sent to the Alumni Association for future publication. The picture has Phil Bowie, Chick Webb and Smed in it and is a "sober pre-game (Princeton) shot of one-half of the old 3 School Street gang." Smed gives the following news: Jack Mack, "Denver's gift to the Beta House," is working in Washington, D. C., and is homesick as hell for the Rockies. JohnnyWynne is working hard (?) at Connecticut Law School, Kev Kenney is there too. Chick Webb is trying to get his old man to let him have a long weekend away from the factory so he can hit the snow trails. "As for me," Smed goes on, "I'm probably the last reserve still in the Navy, and I'm there only because I'm frozen with the Navy Coal Mines Administration in vice-ridden Wheeling. I hope to be released in time to go to Penn. Law School April first." Thanks for all the news, Smed, keep up the good work!
Doug Kipp wrote a nice letter. I'm sorry I didn't get it in the February issue, Doug, but I had so much news that I couldn't put it all in because of my quota. As it was, I went over the quota. Doug's at Boston University "getting some necessary Physics and Chem courses needed for Tufts Dental School," which he hopes to attend next fall. He reports that Chet Roche is also at B. U., studying in the Business School. It's interesting to note that Doug married Jim Cruickshank's sister, so they see a lot of each other while down in Pawtucket.
Before I go too far, I have some engagements of interest to announce: that of Margot Grace to Frank Hartmann; Frank is back finishing up at Hanover; Ann Wilson to Totri "Winger" Munn; Deborah Weekes to Warren Preece down in Connecticut; Gloria Green to Sam Mills of New York; Barbara Brokaw to George Lowden in New Jersey; and Helen Brandt to John Moore, now a pilot with American Airlines. I have written to each of the above sending congratulations on behalf of the class.
Two other items of interest are: first, that BobCostello has been named Director of the Yale Dramatic Association, and finally, that Jim Oppenheimer has been appointed to the faculty of Stone College for the winter term.
That concludes my column for this month —keep up the good work in sending me all the news you can!
THREE PEERADERS, all '43s, at the Princeton game last fall. Left to right, Jim Bowie, Smed Ward and Chick Webb. Judging from their expressions, they must have been snapped after the game.
