1941
First off let's talk for a little bit about the Alumni Fund drive. Lew and all his cohorts are hard at work in making this another successful year for the College, and incidentally their fruitful efforts will make it another banner year for the class of '41 so far as our in. dividual green derby race is concerned. We may all rest assured that our class organization is in excellent hands, for year after year Lew Johnstone has handled this drive so efficiently that our class boasts an outstanding record. Let's all get our checks in earlier than usual this year, and make the job of the Class Agent that much easier. And believe me that check is going for about the worthiest cause that anyone could mention to you. When you realize that the student payments represented by tuition and other lees cover only about 50% of the cost of education per man, the success of the Alumni Fund becomes paramount. Dartmouth must depend upon her alumni for continuation of the Dartmouth life that we all knew. To help enable other men—present and future—to share that high water mark experience, is something each and every one of us count as one of the more worthwhile things we accomplish.
By the way, that outstanding photograph you see in this column boasts a new "papa" in its midst. The fellow looking so pleased about the whole thing is Dick Hill, for his first youngster, Steven Devereux, was born March 6. So the master of 5 Rainbow Road has a new master now, and I hope for the benefit of your sleep, Dick, that he is well past that 2 A.M. bottle.
News other than that however is on the skimpy side this month, so we will run through it now and keep our fingers crossed as to whether we can fill all that space the MAGAZINE gives us each month. Another fellow whose picture appears in that stellar group is Bill Philbrook, who broke away from the life as a restaurateur long enough to spend a few relaxing days in Hanover in March in company with his family.
Bob Feller has recently received some attention because of a speech he delivered before the Bucknell chapter of the American Chemical Society, entitled "How to Shoot Pool and Influence Molecules". Bob, incidentally is an instructor in chemistry at Rutgers. After graduating from Dartmouth he completed his Master's at Rutgers, and is now studying for his doctorate at the same institution.
Another announcement, a bit belated, is the birth of a daughter, Marshall Carter, to Mr. and Mrs. Lance Ballou Jr. on January 10. Bob Baker is with American Overseas Airlines and stationed in Gander, Newfoundland. Cam Farmer is now in Chicago—93B N. LaSalle St. to be exact. Why not give your secretary a phone call some day, Cam? Michigan 2-4300 is the number.
Another overseas boy is Lee Grace, now with American Express, and working out of gay Vienna. John Tate is living in San Francisco and working for Standard of California-Don Knight is in Kalamazoo, Mich. FredLeopold is a lawyer in New York City. JohnMcAllister is a Captain in the regular Marine Corps and has an FPO number again. Rufy Majoros is back from Europe, and at home again in Rockville Centre, Long Island. Dan Woodward, that southern gentleman, is now making New York City home. Bob Thorne 'v up in Ithaca, N. Y., and Sam Pratt is also in the same town. Glad there is a little green in that Cornell town. That does it for this month. See you again in June.
