1913
This spring Bill and Mildred Davis called on the Len Manleys at their La Jolla, Calif, home at iB6O Torrey Pine Road, and then came Hap Atwood who was attending a convention in Coronado. Hap will now chairman the 1949 Farm Forum sub-committee of the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce.
After serving in the Navy from July '41 until December '46, fighting the battle of Washington, George Stiles is still with the Navy in a civilian capacity. However, in 1945 "they" gave him a captain's stripes, so we have one more captain. He and Grace bemoaned their inability to be at the reunion. Grace is an assistant U. S. District Attorney for the District of Columbia and has been prosecuting criminal cases for 10 years. She is a very clever lawyer and George says he can't win an argument with her. Caroline, whom most of you will remember from our reunions, was married seven years ago and she and Johnny Livengood have two sons, one nearly 5 and one 2 last May. They live in Richmond, Va.
Albert Kilbourn's daughter, Mary Lou, was graduated from Burlington Junior College last June and attended eight weeks of Teacher Training Courses at lowa Wesleyan this summer for her teaching this fall. Their other daughter, Margaret, was elected as one of six lowa delegates to the meeting of the National Council of Pilgrim Fellowship at Defiance College, 0., which started last June 25.
We were shocked to learn of the death of Ed Grothe's wife following a long illness in the hospital, which changed his plans to attend the reunion last June. The sympathy of the class is extended to him. Ed is with North Western Public Service Cos. at Huron, S. Dak.
Larry Nickerson is associated with Henry W. Savage, Inc. of Brookline, Mass., in the real estate and mortgage field, after serving during the war as Administrative Assistant to the Director of Transportation at the Boston port of Embarkation.
Ralph Samuel had to change his reunion plans due to a few extra-curricular communal difficulties but they spent their month's vacation at Lake Morey Inn at Fairlee, Vt. and went to Hanover several times, particularly when he needed a haircut.
Announcement of the change in dues was made by John Remsen in his News Letter. At the Class Meeting in June the secretary reported that this action by the Executive Committee would undoubtedly be necessary and the report was accepted. The cost of the subscription to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, the finest college alumni magazine in the country, has been increased at long last, and yet the new price is probably the most reasonable of all the magazines on your table. Then we must have a nest egg to care for the books presented to the Dartmouth Library at the death of a classmate, marked as a memorial gift in place of flowers. The most recent volume was presented in September after the death of Judge Arthur D. Healey.
George Steele made a Labor Day trip to the Hanover Inn, no doubt lining up part of his Class Agent's duties, previous to receiving records from John Remsen. John's News Letter will be in your hands before you read this and you'll see the remarkable job he has done for us and the job you have done through him all these years. He has been a tireless worker for 15 years, a long time, and the results obtained indicate he well deserves all our praises and the nice things said about him and to him. His efforts for the class will not end—he has always been a great worker: recall his 5 years as president of the Class before he was class agent. Well does the secre- tary know the value of his counsel and help.
It is with regret that we announce the death of Judge Arthur D. Healey on September 16. Full notice will be found in the Necrology. It will be remembered that Arthur was a 100% New Dealer and you may recall Time, August 21, 1939, "To help laconic Mr. Howard Smith (of Virginia) dig into NLRB, Speaker Bankhead appointed .... Massachusetts' Healey With relief out-spoken Arthur Healey resigned his hot spot on the Dies Committee, shifted to the Smith Group. Prematurely grey, Mr. Healey, long a stentorian New Dealer, had been working under wraps on the Dies Group, with his strongly Catholic constituency clamoring for more rigorous Red-baiting. California's young Jerry Voorhis will step into Healey's lukewarm shoes as the New Deal's flat foot assigned to watch Mr. Dies." Arthur's smiling picture accompanying the article was especially natural.
Details are available on another Noble June wedding, Edwin Austin Noble and Pauline Emma Robinson were married on June 26, Rev. Miller Levett of the Hillside Methodist Church performing the ceremony in the Goddard Chapel of Tufts College in Medford. The best man was Philip C. Noble of Schenectady N. Y. A reception was held after the wedding in the Barnum Room of the College Museum. Ed and Pauline are graduates of Tufts and Edwin has done graduate work at the University of Grenoble, France, and the University of Colorado. He has taught this past year in the Chester (Vt.) High School. This coming year he will study geology in the University of New Mexico and Pauline will do work in the University in connection with the biology department.
Judge Hugus is running again this fall for the State Legislature. He served there from 1921 to 1931 and again in 1943 and 1945. Outside of that he has been practicing law in Wheeling, W. Va. His daughter, Mary Ann, 19, has just graduated from Stephens College where she was a chip off the old block and became tennis champion. Wright Jr. was also the same at his school. Martha has not been well this past year, we were disappointed to learn. Judge has been his own good self and both regretted their missing the trip to Hanover in June. Lucky for Mose Linscott,Clarence Meleney and Marc Wright he didn't show them up in their tennis game, for Judge continues his old rep at the game. He's as good as ever, believe it or not.
The Chicago Journal of Commerce announced in July that the Andrew W. Cornstock Group which fought the matter of the inter-company claim in the Missouri Pacific reorganization all the way to the U. S. Supreme Court, will ask for a re-hearing. The high court, in a close, very close 4 to 5 decision against Andy's group, upheld findings of an appeals court that "Mop's" claim against its subsidiary was valid. Justice Robert Jackson delivered in June the 5 to 4 decision. Justice Frank Murphy wrote a dissent in which Justice Hugo L. Black, William O. Douglas and Wiley B. Rutledge concurred.
The attendance at the Wednesday luncheons at Patten's has been good. This summer we included with 1914 and 1915, GeorgeKnight, Joe Cheney, Nat Rice, Mose Linscott,Marc Wright, Carl Shumway and the secretary.
Nearest thing to a Hanover paragraph this month, as College is not open as this is mailed to the magazine office, is a one day trip the secretary made to Hanover from Ragged in August to get some new clothes, and spent a good afternoon and evening with Fred andMabel Hovey at their home on Star Route, Etna. He now has a picture, cut from the local news sheet last year, showing the bull moose in the pasture with part of the J. B. Perley herd, so he really was there. We'll expect more news of him this fall, undoubtedly. Fred and Mart Remsen know the Perley cows and cattle well; ask any of those on the hill about them.
