1947

For the past three months, Carl Kaufmann has been working for General Electric in Schenectady, N. Y. He is working with the General News Bureau which provides, as a company service, stories for the newspapers and magazines. Carl is soon to be married to Miss Ruth Wyman of Scarborough, N. Y., a 1946 graduate of Vassar. Carl is not the only Dartmouth man in his office, but he is interested to know if other '47's are working at the G. E. plant there in Schenectady.

Ted Platz is in the advertising business with the J. Walter Thompson Company as an assistant account representative in the international department. His main accounts are the Owens-Illinois (Glass) Company and Gillette; he is in charge of their foreign advertising. Ted hasn't seen any '47's recently, al- though he reports that the classes of '44, '45, and '46 are well-represented.

From Washington, D. C., Bill Clay writes:

"I've managed to tie-in with the 'look sharp' crowd and am now peddling razor blades for the Gillette Safety Razor Company. A few weeks after leaving Hanover in February 1947, I made my connection with Gillette and after a month of beating around with other salesmen, I was given the Washington office. My titular position is that of Washington Representative, which means I do everything the company wants done down here from sweeping the office floor to negotiating contracts with government agencies. The beauty of all this is the fact that my activities are not just those in the sales field. Our advertising activities carry me into radio, newspaper, and television in my attempts to get added promotion, check lineage, and promote good will. I attend conferences, luncheons, and conventions as the company representative all of which isn't hard to take."

Bill has met some '47's in Washington: BillGoode, who is at George Washington University doing work in the Foreign Service School for his Master's Degree; Vic Brum, who is attending medical school, presumably at the same institution; and Jack Halpin, who is studying at the Institute of Public Affairs.

From Hank De Angelis in Flanover comes an interesting correspondence. On September 21, 1947, Hank was married to Miss Sara May Thomas, and since that time, he and his bride have been living in Hanover. Hank has a teaching fellowship in chemistry which makes it possible for him to do graduate work to- wards his M.A., which according to schedule, he will receive after two more years on the Dartmouth campus. Hank has recently heard from Lem Monlton, who has received his Master's Degree in Math at Columbia. Lem is now at Brown University with his wife, working for his Doctor's Degree in Math.
