1946

Another summer has passed and with this issue we launch Volume 42 of the DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE. I am looking forward to bringing you the class notes for the coming year and right off the bat I'd like to ask for your cooperation by dropping me a line now and then. Through the summer I have written many letters and received some in return. Throughout the winter months I shall endeavor to write personally to more of you.

A little progress has been made with our permanent class records and you will hear more of this project in the coming months.

J. J. Lewis has accepted a position with the group department of the Connecticut Insurance Co. of Hartford. Jack and his wife will live in Ansonia. Also in the insurance department, John Heneage with the State Mutual Life of Worcester, Mass. is now in charge of the group department of that organization with offices in Kansas City.

Something unusual in the way of press clippings found its way to me earlier this summer, "Atlantic Beach lovelies can hardly wait to welcome back handsome, blonde, Robt.O. Jones from a year abroad." How about that! Bob has been working for his M.A. in International Affairs at the Sorbonne.

Dr. Howard C. Hewitt has been awarded a Fellowship for a year's research in fluid balance at the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor.

Mr. and Mrs. Welles Fendrich have a new addition to their household in the person of Kathleen Elizabeth, born on June 9. Welles is with the Link Belt Cos. in New York.

As might be expected a great many more '46's have taken the big step during the past few months and several more made known their intentions.

Jack Helsell and his crew sailed the "Westward Ho" from Los Angeles to Honolulu in the transpacific race that started July 4. They finished 12th out of 25 and would have done better if they hadn't blown out all three of their spinnakers and a variety of makeshift sails. Quite a feat.

That winds it up for this month. Start the letters rolling, don't be bashful.
