1941
This issue will be the last for a '4l Class Notes section until the October issue. The publishers of the MAGAZINE are reverting to their pre-war schedule whereby the July issue will contain a review of Commencement and class reunions, and then skip August and September and appear again in October. Consequently we will try to squeeze as much as possible in this month, and catch up the loose ends again in October.
Now before the 1947 Alumni Drive be- comes history—just one more reminder to those of you who have not yet sent in your check. Please make sure that it gets to Hanover before June 30. We were just nosed out of first place last year, so let's make it up this year. As of this date of writing (May) we are sitting right up there on top—so let's stay there, and thanks to all of you.
Didn't have room last month to get in a nice long letter from John White. "Pudge" and John had their third child, Katharine, and as John puts it, "She checked in on February 9 at 6:31 A.M. (it never fails), weight 71bs. 13 ounces. Now we have quite a harem of three girls, but will have a Dartmouth candidate yet."
John reports a scarcity of '41s out Syracuse way, but did mention that "Monk" Larson and his wife and baby live not too far away in Constantia, N. Y. "Monk" is attending law school at Syracuse, and when both the Larsons and Whites are able to find baby sitters the same evening, they plan to get together.
The Dartmouth Alumni Dinner in New York in April was graced by comparatively few '41s. Those who did show up included Charlie McLane, Stu May, Don Brown, Felix Lillienthal, Bob Tepper, Lance Ballou, and "Red" O'Connor.
Mart McGinley was in town this month, and dropped around to say hello. Mort was just up from Baltimore for a day or so relaxing a little before heading back to work with Bethlehem Steel.
This guy WOlive is "bustin' out all over'' the Pasadena papers. Seems that Chuck is with a smart, new, young concern manufacturing furnace registers. The company, Fab- ristamp by name, owns their own aircraft which the company executives use for sales contact work. So with their own airplanes as 5.0.P., sales manager D'Olive is able to turn production orders over to the plant in two or three days where formerly the time element involved was from three to six months.
Seth Fitchet, and Ed McMillan, until recently with Merrill, Lynch, Fenner, and Beane here in New York have been transferred to Boston, and Portland, Oregon respectively. Both have been recent graduates of the firm's investment training school.
Lance Ballou, mentioned previously in this column, has recently been appointed promotion manager for the United States Television Mfg. Corporation. Lance, recently discharged from the Navy, is an active member of the American Television Society and has just completed a survey tour of television cities from coast to coast.
Frank Munsey became an engaged man recently, and his bride-to-be is Miss Otilise Elise lies of Davenport, lowa. As yet have no dope on their wedding plans.
On April 28, Dick Paul opened his own camera shop in Keene, N. H., and followed that announcement up on May 1 with another one announcing the arrival of daughter Linda Jean, weighing in at 71bs. 15 ounces. Congratulations, and best of luck in both ventures, Dick.
Visitors to Hanover recently included Austin Baker, and Mr. and Mrs. Bill Durkee. The Hanover Inn checked them in during March.
Kay Sue and Warner Bishop were in New York for a few days during May, and we did get together long enough to have a few cocktails—though I wish the visit could have been longer. I did make the train home that night, "Bro," though for a while Buckalew and I had our doubts.
George Seel has stayed in the active reserve, and is now on his active duty cruise, and reports that the Navy hasn't forgotten how to administer shots three or four at a time. The old arm is sore, eh Georgie? Kind of rough for LaCrosse, too, isn't it?
And that's it for this month. Don't forget that check for the Alumni Fund Drive if you haven't sent it in yet.
So long for the summer, and will see you again in October. In the meantime don't forget to write.
