1936

Every year around this time, our vital statistics department becomes revitalized—thanks to a fairly generous response to Jacko Morrison's postcard enclosure with his dues reminders. So, let's catch up on the new children, homes, jobs—and some miscellaneous greetings from here and there.

From Johnny Ovitz: "Virginia and I are happy to announce the arrival of Jack Williams Ovitz on July 3, 1948—potential member of Class of '66. That makes two girls and a boy now."

Rog Williams, writing from RFD No. 1, Yarmouth, Me., reports the arrival of a second son, Guy Gannett Williams on Aug. 17.

The Don Robbins have always been and, from the looks of things, will always be leaders in the class Stork Derby. Their fifth child, Patricia, arrived July 12.

Mac Rowell is assistant manager of Rowell Brothers, Inc. (building materials, builders' hardware, etc.) in Newport, N. H. The Rowell clan, besides mama and papa, include Virginia Ann, 11; Mac Jr., 6; and Donald, 4.

The Fred Gonnerman outfit has moved into its new home at 10 Cedar Street, Hillsdale, N. J. The only description we have of Fred's business activities are meagre—and cryptic

"Trade Association Executive, N.Y.C." Can you set us straight, Fred?

Huf Fuffman's third son, "Mike," was born on June 3. Other sons—Steve, 9 years old and Tony, 6. Huf writes, "They aren't very tough, but they sure sound tough. Probably a psychological reaction to 'Horace' for a first name for 34 years."

And still they come .... Robert Harris Sullivan, first son of the Barry Sullivans, arrived in May Locky Barfs new daughter, Betsy Kendall Barr, was born July 20 in Stamford, Conn.

From El Palmer: "Am now Canadian manager of the Wm. S. Merrell Cos. (pharmaceuticals). Are there any '36ers in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa or Quebec?" There should be, in such a large territory; but our records answer "no," El.

Wendell Harding has changed positions from teaching and coaching at the Hill School in Pottstown, Pa. to principal of Stowe (Vt.) Junior-Senior High. He has a house which he claims is big enough to accommodate extra '36ers for skiing. With winter coming on, that's a pretty generous invitation, Wendell.

Over in Lincoln, N. H., Marty Brown reports that Alumni in the North Country are organizing a club for northern N. H. and part of Vermont, because there are over 100 Dartmouth men north of Woodsville. Marty finds himself the only '36er in the group, and asks a completely irrelevant question: "Has Joe Millimet admitted that he ran for the U. S. Senate?" Come on, Joe, admit it—and while you're at it, tell us on which ticket, etc., etc.

Thanks to Clarence Mark for a recent letter which brings us up to date: "I am still working for Clayton Mark & Cos." (Water well supplies since 1888, Evanston, 111.) "Germaine and I just passed our thirteenth anniversary in July and have four childrenThomas age 12, James age 8, Mary Jean age 6, and Kathleen, 1 and a half. I have charge of our labor relations at the plant, and today with unions as they are, it is a full-time job. We have approximately 600 employees and could use a whole lot more if we could get some steel."

Walt Beinhart, Personnel Manager of The Formica Cos., in Cincinnati, has been an attorney-at-law since August 19.

Stoney Jackson, with the home office of the National Life Insurance Cos., Montpelier, Vt., has recently solved his housing problem—a 140-year-old farmhouse, barn and 37 acres of countryside near the village of East Barre. .... Bob Chaffee, Curator of Geology, Dartmouth College Museum, has also located a house which he describes as"new to us but old in years. Southwest corner o£ Lyme Common."

We quote Ted Olson's note in its entirety: "Have finally been 'ousted' from Squantum .... no other news."

Ted Whitmore is now works manager, Tricot Division, of Textron, Inc. Making that lovely Nylon.

From Dr. Bill Curtis: "Never see any classmates, so will have to stay with the autobiography Since last writing, I have finished my training in X-ray, taken my boards, and somehow passed; so I am officially a Radiologist. Also took basic science exams in Colorado, obtained a Medical license here, and am now trying to earn a living. Have moved the family and furniture, purchased a house, and am flat broke. The move was from St. Louis to Denver. The family remains the same in number—two boys and a girl " (Bill can be reached at 758 Fillmore, Denver.)

Ralph Ruggles apparently is settled in Cleveland for good, covering Northern Ohio for a number of concerns as a food broker. We'd better quote Ralph from here 0n.... "Happily married to my high school sweetheart, Ruth. Which reminds me—ChuckRichards and Bob Prentice each owe me a fin, from a freshman bet that our romance wouldn't survive four college years. Two proofs of its survival—Tom, 7 years and Susie, 4 years."

Sub Harris still seems to be the Lone Ranger for '36 in the Lone Star State. On his summer vacation to New England, he made up for being cut off from civilization by spending some time with Harry Lowd, DanPoor and Gage Aborn.

Alan Hutchinson is teaching at the Corcoran School of History at the University of Virginia Dean Nicholson is practising law in Haverhill, Mass.

Although* yon may have expected to find in this month's column a report of the outcome of the class questionnaire on the disposition of the Memorial Fund—your votes are as yet inconclusive. The deadline was extended, and the votes for plans A and C were so very close, that we'll have to get more of you to answer. It's important that as many of us as possible express a definite preference on this matter.

Don't forget—you who make the Yale game. .... Look around you, and you should see a good concentration of '36ers. This year, they're seating us together!
