1922
You will recall that we lost Evan Woodward during the war. A captain in the array, he died while a student at the Air Forces Intelligence School in Harrisburg in 1942. It is fitting and gratifying that Woody's son, Daniel E. Woodward, has been awarded one of the first Hopkins scholarships for sons of Dartmouth men who died in service in World War II. Daniel is a veteran of three years in the Marine Corps.
At its meeting for the purpose of selecting officers for the ensuing year, Eugene Hotchkiss III '50 was elected as one of two Executive and Operations officers of the Navy's ROTC unit.
On last August 19 Walter James McNerney Jr. was born in Providence, where his father is an interne in the field of hospital administration. The mother is the former Shirley Ann Hamilton. There are rumors afloat that Jimand Sally are inordinately proud of their grand-SON.
Ralph Rubins, for several months occupied with construction work in Okinawa, has been transferred by his company to Siam. He maintains a residence for his family at South Pasadena, Calif.
Barbara, daughter of Roy and Dorothy Ball, became Mrs. Donald Bacon last August 20 at a wedding at Flint, Mich.
Justice George H. Bingham '87 passed away on September 25, bringing to a close an eminent career as lawyer and jurist. After 11 years service on the New Hampshire Supreme Court, Judge Bingham received appointment from President Wilson to the United States Court of Appeals. We sympathize with Syl upon the loss of his distinguished dad.
Bob Baldwin was honored last spring by election to the presidency of the Springfield (Mass.) Chamber of Commerce. A past president of the Springfield Board of Fire and Casualty Underwriters and a past regional vice-president of the Massachusetts Association of Insurance Agents, Bob had served two years as a director of the Chamber of Commerce prior to becoming its head man. Bob entered the insurance field in his native city upon graduation from college and is president of the firm of Baldwin & Welsh.
Clif and Marie Akey with daughter Mary were in Meriden getting son John entered and settled at Kimball Union Academy the day we were there to leave Bill Jr. for his third and final year. It was nice to run into Clif again at Suffield, Conn, on October 1 when K. U. A. opened its football season with a game with Suffield Academy. John and Bill Jr. are both on the squad.
After being in operation for more than a half century, during which time a world wide reputation as outstanding pulp and paper mill engineers was earned, the firm of George F. Hardy & Son, pulp and paper mill architects and consulting engineers, has discontinued business. John A. Hardy, who succeeded his father as head of the company, has been prevailed upon by his physician, aided and abetted by his family, to terminate the business in the interest of his health. Alarmed at the implications of the announcement, I called Jack during a recent trip to New York and was reassured by his explanation that his retirement is not complete as he has retained his connections in two other companies. It is just a tapering off.
The boys here in the east will have the opportunity to recall happy days with WillNicholson during graduation season next spring. Nick plans to be here for the graduation of Will Jr. at M. I. T. and the graduation of daughter Gladys at Miss Walker's School in Connecticut.
Norm Crane gave a good account of himself in the 1949 club tournament of the Plainfield Country Club. In the third flight contest, Norm battled it out right down to the final round only to have someone step in at that point to deprive him of the trophy.
If you missed it, look up a copy of the August 27 issue of The New Yorker and read the entertaining article by Kip Orr titled "The Shifters and the Dittos." Incidentally, in August Kip made a trip back to Hanover, his first in several years. On that occasion he turned over to the library the letters which he had written home as an undergraduate and which his parents had carefully preserved and bound.
In a rearrangement of the Jamestown Amusement Co. buying and booking department, Carroll J. Lawler became booker for the houses in the Shea Circuit. Jake went to this New York concern several years ago taking with him an experience in theatre management acquired in his native city of Greenfield.
