1943
Unlike a prominent candidate for whom many of you will be voting next month, we do not come to this office of secretary of the Class of 1943 unfettered. What deals were made at a meeting of class big-and-little-wigs in a third floor room of Wheeler Hall prior to our nomination reunion weekend will undoubtedly come to light in the near future. Careful readers of the July ALUMNI MAGAZINE will have noted that Rod Wolbarst had been named to succeed Whitey Fuller as director of publicity for the DCAC. He arrived in Hanover late in August following a stretch on the sports staff of the Washington Post.
Dave White was scheduled to receive his M.A. degree from Clark University in August and plans to remain at that institution as a teaching fellow in economics and sociology. Dave is married and has two children.
Although the following item is old news to Cambridge, Mass. residents, we quote in part a recent news story from a Cambridge weekly:
"Fred Stockwell, newly appointed chairman of the 1949 Cambridge Community Fund Drive, already has started things rolling. By October, when the Community Fund starts, he will be responsible for the enrollment of some 1200 volunteer workers. The Chairman, a well-known Cambridge business-man, is Vice-President of Storer, Damon and Lund, located at 18 Brattle Street. Mr. Stockwell has been active in the Community Fund and Red Cross campaigns in recent years and is a member of the Executive Board of the Cambridge Boy Scouts. Other organizations which have claimed Mr. Stockwell's interest and participation are: Cambridge Chamber of Commerce, Cambridge Rotary Club, Harvard Square Businessmen's Association, Beaver Lodge, A. F. & A. M., and the Dartmouth College Alumni Association of Boston."
