1919
The Boston Alumni Dinner was held at the Copley-Plaza Wednesday, February 26. The following sons of 1919 were present:
Ray Hinds, Jim Stone, Mose Friedberg and guest, Slim Huntoon, Bunny Collins, Henry Clay, Leland Bixby, Jim Wright, Nockey Wallis and son, Sam, John Shelburne, Jock Murray, Bill White, Guy Cogswell, Herb Fleming, George Bingham, and Roscoe Hayes.
Jim Wright represents the Philip Carey Company and has been living in Winchester, for the past year. The Carey Company is an important building supply, roofing and insulating company.
Nock Wallis is the assistant Treasurer of Dennison Mfg. Cos. who make all of the tags, labels and other office aids that constantly come to our assistance.
Ray Hinds, if our records are up to date, is associated with Parker Wilder and Cos., accountants. "Heinie," ih case you don't recall, entered Dartmouth from his Birthplace, Keene, N. H., entered the U. S. A. Ambulance Service in 1917, and Harvard School of Business
in 192 a. Jim Stone has a lot to do with affairs of the Independent Nail & Packing Cos. of Brockton, Mass. He entered college from Brockton High.
Slim Huntoon, managing underwriter of the Merchants Mutual Casualty Cos. in Boston, was born (and grew up) in Contoocook, N. H., from where he entered our Alma Mater. Slim's great great granddad, Nathaniel Huntoon, was a Dartmouth graduate of the Class of 1808. Slim, not the great great granddad, served in the Coast Artillery in World War I.
"Bunny," Clark W. Collins, President of Johnson-Collins Cos. of Winchester, Mass., plywood manufacturers and distributors was born in Manchester, N. H., and finished high school in that city before Dartmouth received him. Bunny is well known in the plywood industry and served as secretary of the New England Plywood Distributors.
Guy Cogswell (we hope) makes his home in Newton Center or thereabouts although our last record shows him associated with H. W. Carter & Sons of Lebanon, N. H. Guy (whose son is in Dartmouth and playing sweet football) came to college from Henniker, N. H., via Worcester Academy, was junior grade Lieutenant in the Naval Reserve, World War I, and coached Concord, N. H., high school football prior to entering business.
Henry Clay entered college from Spring- field Central High School in Springfield, Mass., studied medicine in Dartmouth, took his M.D. degree at Columbia. Henry, early in his professional life took up hospital management and in 1944 was made assistant superintendent of the Mass. General Hospital in Boston. Incidently, a Rufus Choate scholar and Phi Beta Kappa.
George Bingham, sometimes called "Bing" and a cousin of "Jake" class of 'lB is vice president of the Cambridge Rubber Cos. of Lincoln, Mass., and is another product of New Hampshire, born in Littleton and educated in Manchester, before Dartmouth. George too was one of the ninety-day wonders of World War I—Ensign USNR. His father and grandfather were both Dartmouth graduates as well as two brothers and two cousins.
Herb Flemming, Melrose, Mass., man and boy is President and General Manager of Preferred Products, Inc., and is one of those loyal sons of 1919 who is always on deck for whatever the class may do. He survived as an Ensign in Naval Aviation several decades back and looks as young as he did in those carefree days.
Jock Murray whom we all know as one of our country's outstanding psychiatrists (and occasionally an auctioneer of live stock—remember "Norma" of Dartmouth's 15th Reunion) came to Hanover from Concord, N. H., High, and after service in the Navy, 1917 to 1919, completed pre-med and made his M.D. degree at University of Pennsylvania. Jock, Colonel John M. Murray, U. S. A. during our latest world conflict made great strides in curing battle fatigue and mental illnesses produced by war.
Leland Bixby, Watertown, Mass., has duties that take him into Hanover frequently. Bixby, once an Ensign in the Naval Reserve did a turn with the War Production Board in the General Industrial Equipment Division in the war just about completed by act of Congress.
Jack Shelburne, quite a fullback in his day, was born in Boston, Mass., graduated from Colby Academy, New London, N. H. (which later became Colby Junior College for girls and has educated several daughters of 1919) came to Dartmouth and made good, both as an athlete and as a scholar. John is engaged in boys' work in Boston.
Bill White, well-known and highly regarded doctor and surgeon, is identified with the Boston City Hospital. Bill,- born and raised in Roxbury, Mass., picked up his M.D. degree at Harvard and has specialized in practice of surgery. Another loyal 'iger who makes every effort to take part in class affairs.
Mose Friedberg came to Dartmouth from Salem High, Salem, Mass., and following a term in the Naval Reserve, entered the real estate business, and our record shows him as a broker with the Elm Hill Realty Cos. Mose's son Robert was Class of '43 in Dartmouth.
Rock Hayes claims East Pepperell, Mass., as his birthplace and West Newton, Mass., as home. Rock, a partner of Paine, Webber, Jackson & Curtis, securities firm of Boston, served as a second lieutenant in the Field Artillery in 1918, returned to Hanover to complete his education and added Tuck School and an M.C.S. degree to fit him for what has followed. Rock put in years of service until June, 1946, as vice president of our class. He is Spider's unfailing aid in class agent activities in the Boston area.
Before leaving behind these very brief references to those who were in attendance at the Boston Alumni Dinner let it be known that most o£ the gentlemen referred to have most attractive better halves as witnessed by the secretary. "We will say all when we meet the few still unknown to us."
April usually brings the New York City Alumni Association annual dinner and a fine visit with our college President who breathes Dartmouth into our hearts and gives us food for thought about a great College on the Hill.
February 28 might have been the date set for a 1919 class dinner at the Dartmouth Club. We prefer to review that evening as a meeting of our 1949 Reunion Committee. Red Colwell, Batch Batchelder, Spider Martin, Horace Hitchcock, Clarence Buttenweiser, George Rand, Louie Munro and Ken Huntington dined well in the Landon Room. Fat Jackson, with us before dinner, left to meet his son who was down to put the shot in the I. C. 4A Track Meet after some success in that department in recent New England contests.
Attention was directed at October 11th, 1947 and a football game to be played in Hanover on that date (Univ. of Penn). Another pre-game luncheon at that time should be added reason for those who saw the Harvard game to make the Penn game this Fall.
We missed Mose Forrest at our class committee meeting. He was ill and sent regrets as did Hank Siegbert, San Treat, Tom Bresnahan, Hal Parsons, Mai Drane and Nick Sandoe.
Stewart Wark is executive vice president of the Bermingham Castleman and Pierce Inc., advertising. Stew's father has his summer home on one of the most beautiful sites on Lake Morey, the reunion picnic spot most favored by our class.
Budd Welsh 'l9 has a son Budd Jr. '44 just graduated after interruption of war service, in September 1946, who has started his business career with Ciba as an accountant.
Sam Wallis son of "Nocky" has received highpraise through the Boston Press for his prowess as leading scorer on the Framingham High Hockey Team. Wallis was named to the State All-Star Squad this winter and is leading contender for the Tiger Mitchell Memorial Trophy just put up to honor the only Framingham Hockey player to lose his life in this war. Sam will enter Dartmouth in 1947 where he will surely report to Eddie Jeremiah.
Speaking of hockey reminds us that Nick Sandoe, Jack McCrillis and San Treat were among the 8,000 guests this February at Winter Carnival.
At Chicago, in January, Windsor C. Batchelder 'l9, chairman, spoke for the Class Gifts Committee which reported a total of $281,600 on record in Hanover from all classes participating in the program. This is an increase of $54,000 since last June 30 which will be augmented by the final results of 1922's current campaign leading up to its 25th reunion in June. He made special mention of two classes which have just started Memorial Funds—l9o6 under Norman J. Russell and 1912 under Henry Van Dyne. The latter class has turned in a remarkable record of $8,610 in its first year. The chairman expressed great confidence in the increasing strength of the Class Gifts plan which is certain to add great support to the financial security of the College in the future. Although only in operation ten years, Class Funds are already accounting for a substantial addition to the Alumni Fund—the income on Class Funds (of classes past their 25th) is added to the class achievement in the Alumni Fund campaign and the total of these credits to the Alumni Fund in the '46 campaign was more than $4,000 The Class Fund functions as endowment within the structure of the Alumni Fund and the certainty of annual increase in, income in the future is one of the most gratifying developments in Dartmouth alumni affairs in many years. "Batch" spoke of the excellent work being done by Mr. Colton, secretary of the committee in Hanover, where central management is given to the growing activity of Class Fund Committees.
William L. Phinrtey Jr. has moved to: 1 Glenwood Street, Worcester, Mass. Bill, last we know, was one of the top professors in the mathematics Department of Worcester Polytechnic Institute. He took his master's degree at Clark University after returning as Lieutenant U. S. Army Signal reserve Corps in World War I.
HONOR 'IBER. Hubie McDonough 'lB, left, re- ceives the keys for a new Buick from Ken Moore, chairman of Manchester, N. H., Central High School athletic council, at a testimonial dinner in December when the former retired as Central's football coach after a regime of 26 years.
