1931
The news has come in well this past month. Tower Snow helped out no end with details of the '3l dinner in Boston. Al Beisel, JohnnyBenson, John Boermeester, Dave Berkum,Dick Chase, Frank Clarkson, Charlie Dwyer,Jim Frame, Jim Godfrey, Mai Hall, Steve Hall,Ed Ha?iauer, Orrie Hobbs, Phil Holden, DaveLoveland, Cliff McDonald, Leo McKenney,Adrian O'Keefe, Frank Pope, Al Rikkola, KenSampson, Russ Woodward were there. Tower wrote:
"We had thirty turn out for our dinner at the University Club last night (April 14) and we had a heck of a good time.
"Ed Studwell phoned yesterday that he could not come, due to his wife having to go into the hospital for a sudden operation. Because of a change in plans several other fellows who were supposed to come couldn't make it at the last minute, and included in this list are Ralph Jonas,Ed Kel Wiles. Rolli Peterson couldn't make the dinner but stopped by to say hello to the gang a little earlier.
"We had a round robin where everyone brought their own past history up to date and passed on whatever news they knew of other members of the class and it was extremely interesting. Following this we had some discussion and a committee was appointed of Dick Chase, Orri Hobbs, ShepWolff and myself to serve for the coming year, and work out plans for three definite meetings during the next twelve months, and if possible to see if we might be able to have more frequent meetings for those who would be interested. After this committee meets, I will see that we get you the dope so you might put it in the column and thereby reach other fellows."
Jake Marcy and Bill Mclntyre weren't able to make the dinner. Bill Phinney of Sheehan, Phinney and Bass, Manchester, N. H., HalGlickman, Charlie Nims, Sam Groves, PeanutWinslow, Ernie Moore, and Joe Clough, all had to send their regrets.
Ed and Peggy Brummer stopped overnight in Norfolk on their way to a vacation in North Carolina. It was good to pass the time of day with the two Woodbounders. In writing to Tower Art Birkett said: "I'm really sorry I can't attend the '3l Dinner on April 14. Our local church choir is presenting an Easter cantata on Good Friday evening. Since I'm the organist and the night before is the final rehearsal I'm not able to get away. I'm again manager of the Fitchburg field office of the Social Security Administration but continue to live in Natick. Best Regards to the gang."
Writing from 11 Glendale Street, East Hampton, Mass., Red West asked him to "Please remember me to the gang. My work, selling in the four western counties of the state for The North American Fibre Products Cos. of Cleveland, brings me in touch with quite a number of Dartmouth men, but none of our class. The problems of keeping up the business contacts and keeping up with the household cares with three boys doesn't give me much chance to get even the comparatively short distance to Boston."
Dick Holbrook has done an excellent pieceof work in contacting close relatives of deceased members of the class. Dick has receivedmany letters of appreciation but we want topass this one from Martha Morris Smith, onto the class. Martha writes:
"Thank you for your nice letter honoring Ed(Norris). Dartmouth always meant so much to him. I keep in touch with the College through a friend of ours who is a graduate but would love to receive the MAGAZINE and wish to thank the class of '3l for its thoughtfulness. We heard the Glee Club (of which Ed was once a member) on their annual Spring Tour this year and they were wonderful! We all enjoyed the concert so much. There is just one reservation I would like to make in accepting your kind offer, namely: If there are any veterans of '3l or members who perhaps could not afford to subscribe to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE I would prefer to have it sent to one of them in Ed's name. Otherwise I accept with pleasure your kind ofFer."
A nice letter from Line Page, then in Custer, S. D., was overlooked in last month's notes. Line wrote:
"News from South Dakota is as scarce as '3l's. Early this month I was in San Francisco for the purpose of giving a paper on 'Uranium in Pegmatites' before the American Institute of Mining Engineers and the Society of Economic Geologists. Luckily I avoided the transportation difficulties I encountered in January when I spent a week getting from Custer to Reno, Nev. That trip wasn't so bad after I got out of Rapid City—4s miles from home—where I spent five lonely days eating and sleeping while the snow piled up outside. It made me think of the times Charlie Procter and I were in the Winter Hut on Mt. Moosilauke back in 1929-30 and the Senior Mt. Washington trip. The snow drifts were as high and the wind as strong. Even the class 'Parson' would have been blo"wn about. Looks like I will be in Washington the first half of March so if you come up that way look me up—F.W.A. Bldg. Room 5209."
Last year, in this column, we tried to get John H. Chamberlin married when it should have been John B. Chamberlin. John B. writes:
"Let it never be said that I permit more than a year or two to go by without sending a few lines to the Class Secretary. I have a prospective Dartmouth candidate who arrived last November 15. He has more red hair than I presently can brag about. I wish John Hopkins Chamberlin to take particular note, as some time ago the MAGAZINE seemed to be a bit confused as to which of us was recently married, and J.H.'s children were said to be asking him embarrassing questions. My last contact with any group of Alumni was at the Hanover Holiday here last February. I can't say that the class of '3l was very well represented numerically. While there are a good many of us in the environs, we don't seem to get together at the same time. I am chiefly occupied with corporation and labor law at the present time, so if some of the 31'ers who I note are corporate Presidents and Vice-Presidents need assistance, I'll be glad to oblige."
A card from Hanover says: Arthur G-Boardman Jr. '3l has been promoted from Assistant Vice President to Vice President of the Irving Trust Company of New York. Mr. Boardman joined the staff of the Irving in 1932 upon his graduation from Dartmouth and the Amos Tuck School. He has assisted in the administration of the company's business in Great Britain and the Scandinavian countries, the direct supervision of which he will now assume.

"I have been one of the silent members of the '3l group so maybe I can make amends by 'giving out' a little news concerning my activities, etc. After graduation I was a coach, teacher and professional ball player. These activities covered a period of 8 years. For the past 10 years I have been employed by the Norton Company of Worcester, Mass. They are the largest manufacturers of grinding wheels in the world. The past 10 years have been very happy ones for me here at Norton Company. After a variety of jobs during my first years at Norton's I was promoted to a supervisory job. To assist me in doing the job properly, the Norton Company sent me to the Harvard Business School for a three months concentrated training course. We have a very progressive company and educational opportunities are never lacking. "Here is a thumbnail sketch of my family status. I have been married for 15 years and have one 10 year old boy. Dartmouth and the Detroit Tigers, now that "Red" Rolfe is manager, are his favorites. Football, basketball, baseball and tennis seem to be his main interests. Which one he likes best depends on the season of the year. We seem to have a difficult time curbing his energy. My wife is always worrying about him 'wearing himself out.' I wonder if others have the same trouble? I guess it must be pretty universal."
While in Chapel Hill, N. C. recently attending a Phillips Exeter Reunion, your Secretary called Maury Whittinghill to find that he is now with the Biology Division of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tenn. Bax Ball was elected to the presidency of the San Francisco chapter of the National Safety Council at a meeting in February. We are all watching Red Rolfe's tough assignment with the Detroit Tigers. Nick Okeksiw is a member of the board of Macy's, San Francisco.

Don't forget to (1) keep the news flowing through the summer months; (2) get your dues in to Bill Schuldenfrei if you have procrastinated this long; and (3) help Ed Studwell to keep up the good work with the Alumni Fund. Have a good summer.
