1943
We start off this month with a report that three more members of the '43 clan have or are about to desert the ever thinning bachelor ranks. (Two of these, incidentally, are former members of the Woodward Hall JunggeselleGesellschaft Nr. 1943) The one who has already said "I do" is that former WDBS tycoon, John Shaw, who was married March 18 to Corinne Mabb. John and his bride spent part of their honeymoon in Hanover, but unfortunately we were away from the reservation the short time they were at the Inn.
Announcing their engagements are ChuckArnstein and Bill Sweeney. Chuck's fiancee is Barbara Jane Forbstein of Providence, R. I., a member of the Class of 1949 at Pembroke. Still busy with the Capitol Distributing Company (distributors of Emerson Radios and Television sets in Rhode Island and Southern Massachusetts), Chuck in sending us word of his betrothal mentioned that he sees RayMacMahon and Jim Cruickshank often.
The future Mrs. Sweeney, according to our informant, is Miss Jean Marie Weyant of Tenafly, N. J., a Katlierine Gibbs School graduate and the secretary to the general sales manager of the United Press. Bill, as careful readers of the advertisements in the March issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE will note, is truck manager of the Stilphin Motor Company in Dorchester, Mass. The wedding is scheduled to take place May 7.
Back in Hanover late in March to brighten the Band's annual Variety Night was our own Doc Fielding, who was sporting a pair of socks with the name "Waldo" embroidered across the toe. (Typical Fielding Variety Night gag: "I just flew up from New York. Boy, are my arms tired!) A reviewer for TheDartmouth had some nice things to say about Doc's emceeing, and of course his record act had them in the aisles.
Before his Variety Night appearance, Doc was in town for a week's rest from his duties at Bellevue in New York. For three months he spent 30 hours weekly of his free time rehearsing for an hour and one-half television show on CBS. After Bellevue he plans to transfer to the Margaret Hague Maternity Hospital in Jersey City. His sidekick on Guam, Bill Wierman, is at the Mayo Clinic.
A very welcomed note from Bob Krumm in Maplewood, N. J. discloses that his first child, daughter Nancy Ann, was born Feb. 22, Duck Drake is taking time out from the excellent job he is doing in the warehouse business to give him a few pointers on bringing up children. Bob also reported having lunch with Mike Diaz and Bill Remsen. (Bill has been playing hockey for a team in the Westchester County League and also journeyed to Hanover early in March to take part in the annual alumni-varsity game for the benefit of the Mary Hitchcock Hospital.) Other items from down New Jersey way are that GeorgeLowden is working for Standard Oil of New Jersey and that Roy Kirch's nine-months-old son, Hank, is going to be a real woman-killer. And Bob's bank account this winter was considerably enriched by bets with the local Princeton alumni on the Dartmouth hockey team.
Several classmates were reported registered at the Inn last month, including Bill Glovsky,Mike McCormick, Walt Powers and BillRobinson.
Fragmentary news items gleaned from a list of address changes supplied by the Alumni Records office reveal that Charles Does has forsaken the Great Divide in Denver for Milton, Mass.; that Harry Gerber is an engineer for the Zontelli Bros, in Ironton, Minn.; and that Frank Slingluff has left the States for a position with the Mene Grande Oil Company in Barcelona, Venezuela.
Two other blessed events to report; A son, Christopher Coit, to the John Meleneys Jan. 23, and a son, Kimball Sands, to the BobFuiks March 13. (John is with the SimpsonThocher-Bartlett law firm in New York.)
And in closing, a word about class organi; zation. The annual class officers meeting in Hanover this month will give Stan Priddy,Ted Hopper and yours truly a chance to discuss ways and means of providing better service to you. (Ted, incidentally, with the help of Bob Costello designed one of the cleverest mailing pieces for our Alumni Fund campaign which we have ever seen.) Any suggestions from the class at large will be very welcome.
EDITOR'S NOTE: In checking through the above 1943 notes we notice that the class secretary has failed to mention the fact that he was married on April 10 to Miss Dorothy Louise Chase of Stratham, N. H. After a short honeymoon in warmer climes, Steve and Dorothy will make their Hanover home m Sachem Village.
The class will take pleasure also in knowing that as a result of his handling of the ress end of the 1949 Dartmouth Winter Carnival, Steve received the accolade of the Press Photographers Association of Boston in the February issue of their official publication- Said they: "When seven members of our Association voiced their unanimous approval 0£ the outstanding job of public relationing which Mr. Elmer G. Stevens Jr. accomplished at the 1949 Dartmouth Winter Carnival, we knew that we need look no farther for Good Guy for February For a good job, well done, we are happy to elect Mr. Stevens our Good Guy of the Month."
In extension, we will add only that press photographers are not easily pleased.
