1930
By the time Charlie Widmayer's office staff has duly edited these notes, his printing presses have rolled out the finished product and Uncle Sam's postal authorities have delivered this copy of the MAGAZINE to your home, most of you will be completing your plans for our Twentieth in Hanover on June 17, 18 and 19. Charlie Ranch and his Reunion Committee have been hard at work on all of the many detailed plans and from responses to date not only will there be a good crowd but it will be one of those weekends "not to be lost." Few of us realize the amount of time, thought and energy involved in making plans for a reunion and I am afraid that most of us have been altogether too dilatory and uncooperative in advising Charlie and the members of his committee of our plans. But everything is arranged and you will be the loser in more ways than one if you are not in Hanover at the time of our reunion. An innovation this reunion, for the benefit of our Memorial Fund, is the lottery, of which the chief promoter is Bud French. The contributions already made are clear evidence of the fun to be had, as well as the sizable addition which should be made to the Memorial Fund. After hearing of some of the articles contributed, I should like to go to reunion in a beach wagon in order to bring back what I hope will be my fair share of the loot.
Jim Dalglish (now apparently known to most of his friends as "Garv") joined the Medical Department of Eli Lilly Company on March i, to be head of a new Editorial Department supervising the publications which this large pharmaceutical firm distributes to the medical profession. Jim has moved to Indianapolis from Philadelphia where he was editor of the Medical Book Department of J. B. Lippincott Company. Jim has four children, three boys and a girl, one of whom is a most recent addition. It also appears that Jim has digressed from the strictly editorial fields and has written four novels, with mounting hope of getting at least one of them published in the near future While in the literary field,—a tardy notice came to my attention of Ranny Hobbs' appointment as Vice-President in charge of college text books at Rinehart & Company with whom Ranny has been associated since 1943. Previously Ranny had been with Macmillan for eight years as a traveler and promotion director for the College Department.
On his recent mid-west tour Charlie Widmayer visited with Charlie West who is a practicing physician and surgeon in the Detroit area and both of the Wests are looking forward to a combination trip to New England and reunion during June ... . Dick Barnard, assistant personnel manager at the Boston headquarters of the Employers' Group insurance companies was elected to membership on the Salvation Army Greater Boston Advisory Board during April Fred Page, Vice-President of Tricontinental Corporation of New York, was elected a Director of Atlantic City Electric Company in April succeeding Philip Sporn, President of American Gas & Electric Company Van VanDerbeck was elected President of the New Jersey Alumni Association at their last annual dinner. Van joins an increasing group of Thirtymen who have been and are taking an active part in the activities of the local alumni associations.
George Fredrickson and Edith A. Keller participated in planning and building a home at 752 Neponset Avenue in Norwood and thereupon, on January 9, 1949, were married and spent their honeymoon in Florida. The list of 1930 bachelors is certainly dwindling
Dick Parker returned in March from months of field work in Egypt for the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago. On this trip Dick spent most of his time copying and translating inscriptions in the Mortuary Temple of Rameses 111, the last of the great pharoahs who lived in the 12th century 8.C., and has been concentrating on the history of science in ancient times. After this seven months of research, Dick is preparing, as Professor of Egyptology at Brown University, to help make Brown a center for Egyptian studies under the terms of a substantial bequest which was made to Brown some time ago SiChandler will have spent between six and eight weeks in Sao Paulo, Brazil, by the time he reaches Hanover by direct plane connections for reunion. Si reports that his Portuguese isn't all that it should be, but that Sao Paulo is a thriving metropolis of industrious people which puts many of our larger cities to shame.

Even if you can't make reunion in Hanover, give Jack Rich and his class agents a boost by getting in your Alumni Fund contribution now. In this reunion year, 1930 certainly should do more than its usual share for the College.
