The World's Goofiest Sport as written up in This Week of July 25, 1948 recalled MarcWright's world record, the world's first 13 foot pole vault in 1912. This record was followed by his trip to Europe for the Olympics. Jake Enright was also on that Olympic Team, representing the U. S. in the high jump.
George McClary came east this spring to meet Nelson returning from the Antarctic Expedition. We regret that they couldn't repeat the 25-year reunion trip to Hanover when both George and Nelson were with us.
William W. "Jud" Judson, Vice President of Operations and Maintenance of the Northern Pacific Railway Cos., is living in St. Paul. He has been stationed at various points on all parts of the system between St. Paul and the Pacific Coast in his long service with the Company—3s years. He was unable to be in Hanover for the Reunion but Phil and HelenSauer and Hap Atwood can tell him they are not to be missed in the future.
Professor "Bill" Tapley of St. John's Law School was inducted as an honorary member of Taft Inn, international legal fraternity of Phi Delta Phi at the University Club Manhattan, last spring.
Ben Fay Andrew is living at 966 Chambers Circle, Columbus 12, Ohio. He was right "in between two jobs" so couldn't make the trip to Hanover, but we can count on him in 1953.
Harry and Florence French attended the medical meeting in May in San Francisco and followed it by a very enjoyable trip to Alaska, leaving Seattle by boat and a round trip to Seward—"beautiful scenery, fine sunny weather, a smooth passage and good food; better try it sometime."
Kippy Tuck, as most of you know, has been appointed a director of the Suez Canal Cos. He is the first American to be named and his appointment is being made in recognition of the increased importance of U. S. shipping through the canal. His new address will be: Chateau de Bellerive, Cologne—Bellerive near Geneva, Switzerland. During his long career he served as consular officer and diplomatic secretary in Europe, the Middle and Far East, and South America, being stationed variously in Constantinople, Paris, Alexandria, Cairo, Vladivostok, Budapest, Proque and Buenos Aires. He was Councilor the U. S. Embassy in Vichy, France for October 1941 to November 1942 and was appointed Minister to Egypt in 1944 and promoted to Ambassador two years later.
Earle Raudnitz has been located. Probably all of you will remember him during freshman year. Len Martin dropped in on Gladstone Kellogg in Rosemead, next door to Pasadena, and had a most pleasant visit. Kellogg said that Earle changed his name to Rodney shortly after leaving college and has been successful in the brokerage business. He sold out his holdings before 1929 and went to Europe for a couple of years until things settled down—"wise hombre." He reentered the securities business on his return. Will get more information later from Gladstone and perhaps some direct from Earle.
Harry Hodges Semmes Jr. and Miss Luette Goodbody of Perrysburg, Ohio were married June 23 at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Maumer, Ohio. Harry Semmes was the best man for his son and the ushers were John Gibson Semmes and David Hopkins Semmes, brothers of the groom, and Albert Solton of Milwaukee and Frank Glenghuff of Vienna, Va. Chip must have made a hurried trip to Ohio from the reunion in Hanover. Harry Jr. graduated from Dartmouth in 1947.
Joe Cheney attended the Congress of Correction in Boston from August 28 to Sept. 3 the main reason he and Hazel had to miss the reunion in June—for he is chairman of the Professional Council, National Probation and Parole Association.
The Remsens and the Catteralls had a visit with the Nutts at Staten Island in July to hash over the reunion with hamburgers cooked outdoors and all "the fixens" so a good time was had by all.
Earle Barber has sent us a very lovely picture of Phyllis and a reprint of Wm. Channing's "My Symphony." He and the two girls have appreciated so much the expressions of sympathy received.
John and Mary Noble reached Hanover and the reunion on Sunday after most had left for home. They were delayed by Philip's wedding in Bethel, Vermont.
George Davidson spent the summer as usual at Westport, Connecticut, where his address is Box 546 until he and Hattie return to Palm Beach, Florida. He sent snapshots taken in Hanover in June and Charlie Buffum sent some. Louise Ashton sent some fine pictures as usual, and, of course, "T. D." Jewett came through with many shots, some we certainly didn't know were being taken. I wish those with good prints would mail them to the secretary and also those with movie films which will be available in 1953, if not before, will let the secretary know so that a real showing of films of all reunions can be arranged. Don't forget this feature. If you have movies of old reunions or shots taken in Hanover for which you have no further use will you donate them to the class and the College. Send them to the secretary, to be added to Sherm Ward's.
General Willson is now living in Brookline, Massachusetts, at 1514 Beacon St. He sold his home on Shadow Lane in Rutland, Vermont.
