WHO'S WHO AMONG CLASSMATES'SONS IN HANOVER

Thanks to the fathers, we have biographical data on all the sons in Hanover. Each issue until the end of the year will include an account of a few of the boys.

Selwyn Ives Atherton '51, son of Ives Atherton, attended three high schools while his father was serving in the Navy,—Hartford, Conn.; Ann Arbor, Mich.; and Hanover High School. Sel is interested in all sports and has been skiing since he learned to walk. Dormitory—Fayerweather.

Peter Bronson Foster '48, son of "Pop" Foster, enlisted in the Navy Air Force before graduation from Wethersfield High School in 1944. Pete was sent to Yale for a calendar year (scholastic year-and-a-half). He had a few months at Chapel Hill, a couple at St. Mary's in California, then went to Memphis for a year's flight training. Took the option to get out just short of commission and wings and returned home. He entered Dartmouth in the fall of 1946 as a junior and is now in Thayer School, hoping to return next year for his engineering degree. He plays soccer and hockey and his fraternity is S.A.E.

William Russell Foster '51-again from "Pop" Foster:

"Bill entered this fall from Wethersfield High School. Trying out for a berth in Players and swamped by freshman studies. His interests are skiing, swimming, soccer and dramatics. Bill is just starting out and counts himself lucky to be at Dartmouth to make the family 100% Dartmouth (two uncles, father and brother). Hopes for a journalistic career of some sort." Dormitory—Gile.

Robert J. Lyon '51, Ev Lyon's soil, entered from White Plains High School. Bob is popular among his classmates and interested in all non-athletic activities. He is trying out for the Players. Dormitory—Woodworth.

George S. Bissell '51. It is a long time since we have heard from Howard Bissell, who practices law in Cleveland. Here's what he writes:

"I know that George would not care to have me say so much about his activities and I certainly wouldn't be so elaborate about myself, but somehow one of the pleasures we get in life is seeing our young folks have a good time and succeed. George is certainly enjoying Dartmouth, for which I am very grateful. He has played football on the freshman team, so that record speaks for itself. He played a fair game of basketball in high school. His real sport was baseball where his batting average was .420 last year, was a good southpaw pitcher and a better first baseman. He swims well, loves to sing and has a fine baritone voice which gave him solo parts in high school—this he inherited from his mother." George (Suds) entered from Shaker Heights High School and lives at 117 North Mass.

Frank L. Harrington Jr. '50. Frank and his son were on hand for the freshman reception last fall. Frank entered from Andover and won his numerals at soccer. He also is on the JackO'Lantern business staff. Kappa Sigma. Dormitory—Mass

Weston Blake Jr. '51. "Wes entered from Weston High School where he played football and was class president. His grandfather was in the class of '83. He takes after his father for he likes skiing and is interested in camping and mountain climbing. Dormitory—Streeter. More next month ....

Joe Liebling has just written a book, TheWayward Pressman. This is a collection of his stories from The New Yorker and an autobiographical section which has received very favorable reviews even though he criticizes the newspaper profession.

ELECT NEWSPAPER PUBLISHER as Mayor of Rochester, New Hampshire. Burbank defeats G.O.P. candidate by 383 votes. This bit of news brought forth a nice letter from TomBurbank, the new mayor, written on the stationery of the Burbank Publishing Company, publishers of The Rochester Observer, ExeterJournal, Newmarket News and The DurhamFree Press. He writes:

"I was one of those 'wise' birds who sold his auto two years ago in the fall at a high price and was going to buy another one more cheaply in the spring. I haven't acquired one yet and I have seen few classmates. Phil Gould, who hailed from Portland and married Professor Dunlap's daughter, finally gave up sweating it out as a chain store manager and has owned his own store in Springvale, Maine, for almost a year. He's purchased a home there, too. I used to see Henry Hudson two or three times a year when he was a salesman for belts and suspenders, but he's not been around these parts for four years. Vaughn Berry dropped in last fall when he was on his way to Hanover for a meeting 'and we had a nice chat. Jim Taylors daughter Rachel went to school at Colby Junior College here in N. H., and I had planned to take my daughter Rachel over for a visit, _ but plans went awry and I never did make the trip Up until this year, my hobby had been race horses (sulky racing), and two years ago I had the pteasure of winning twice at the Rochester Fair behind my own horse. In 1946 I was thrown three times without getting hurt and decided I'd had enough and took up the less dangerous pastime—politics. Yes, I was elected mayor, the fifth democrat to ever be chosen. The Republican candidate voted for the anti-labor Willey bill at the last session of the state legislature and that sealed his fate politically. I ran as a labor mayor and walked in. Well, not quite, but by a nice majority for a Democrat in a Republican city I came to Rochester 12 years ago from Reading, Mass., and bought The Rochester Observer. Subsequently, I added the other three papers you see on the letterhead. I have two daughters and two sons. Rachel, 21, is a senior at the University of New Hampshire and Eleanor, 18, is a sophomore in that institution. My older boy is 15 and a sophomore in high school. The younger is starting in the first grade of grammar school. Am still married to the same wonderful woman and own my own home in Rochester."

Congratulations and best wishes are stillpouring in to Dick Morin on his new job withthe College. How we envy him.

Leon Salter has written from North Rose,New York:

"Artists are supposed to be modest and shy. I am neither. I am always interested in seeing what my old friends are doing and I assume this works the other way too. In recent years I have turned to painting. Without any formal training and proceeding in the 'modern' vein from the start, my first brush with the canvas was accepted in a competitive show. Over the years I have exhibited in many cities, north and south (but never got in Joe Butler's museum in Youngstown). Have been in several national and international group shows. At the moment one of my paintings is in the current Whitney Museum show in New York. I paint under our original family name of Zoute and while I cannot guarantee all my former pals could tolerate my daubs in their homes, should they be interested, they can see my work at the Mortimer Levitt Gallery on 57th Street. I have had two one-man shows. At the first one, the first to congratulate me was Russell Cowles, himself a painter and who I learned later was, I believe, in the class of 1915 at Dartmouth. A book recently came out on Cowles and I am hoping the ALUMNI MAGAZINE gives him a write-up."

Ced Foster will be guest editor next month. Send the Secretary some news please!
