1919
News items from the Class during the past summer were quite numerous, but, if there were only some way for your struggling secretary to persuade more of you to give with what you are doing, this October through June account of 1919 activities would be more interesting to all of you.
Before reviewing past events of interest, mark down on your calendar the weekend of October 20-21 as the weekend you should try to make Hanover if within shooting distance. The class will convene at the Outing Club House before the Lehigh game for luncheon, and these fall get-togethers in Hanover are always a lot of fun. Try and be there.
Your representatives at the annual May gathering of class officers, club presidents, etc., included Ed Warnke, President of the Long Island Association, Ray Adams (Springfield, Vt.), Ken Gilchrist (New Haven, Conn.), KenHuntington, representing the newly-activated Westchester County (N. Y.) Association and your Secretary. The various meetings were most inspiring and interesting to all attending. Among other things, Al Dickerson stressed the point that early application for admission is still very important, so those of you with sons who want to go to Hanover should keep this in mind, and pass this information along to your friends.
1919's representatives on the Alumni Council are Nick Sandoe from New York and Murray Hawkins from Los Angeles. Nick is on the Committee on Admissions and Schools and is also Chairman of the Committee on Bequests. Murray serves on the Parents' Committee and is doing a swell job in Dartmouth activities on the Coast.
Late spring and summer visitors at the Inn included Chet Caswell, Burt and Mrs. Austin,Maurice and Mrs. Hall, Ken Smith, RockHayes (to whom congrats on the success of the Class in going over the top on the 1950 Alumni Fund), Bill Cunningham and Stanand Alice Mauk.
A most welcome note came in from PatLeonhard on the stationery of the Paterson Paper Cos. of Bristol, Pa. Pat is V.P. of the company in charge of sales, and regrets that he seldom sees any '19ers. Suggestion how about a trip to Hanover Oct. 20?
Cliff Hayes, another V.P. (Pacific Mills), is again in the news of the textile world and was recently elected President of the Cotton Mfrs. Association of South Carolina as well as a director of the American Cotton Mfrs. Institute at their annual meeting in Palm Beach.
From Rome (Italy) comes a note from JohnFornacca, whom most of us haven't seen for many a moon as he has spent most of his life, since leaving college, in foreign service with the American Express Cos. John acknowledged his birthday greetings from the class with thanks, but anything further on what must be an interesting life must wait until John retires.
The business section of the N. Y. HeraldTribune notes that Lawrence D. (Larry) Milligan has joined Duane Jones Cos. as V.P. in charge of a new Chicago office opened by the agency to service the Norge division of BorgWarner.
Rog Clark, general agent of the Northwestern Life Insurance Cos. in Pittsburgh, reports that he sees Joe Eisaman, Ben Wylie and RedMcConnell and that they all appear to be well and prosperous.
The Hingham (Mass.) Journal has a birthday greeting column and in one of them they paid a fine tribute to Ralph Loring as one of the country's outstanding physicists. Ralph was a member of Phi Beta Kappa at Hanover and has degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy. Since 1934, he has been connected with the University of Louisville (Ky.) and is now head of the Physics department there. A member of the American Physical Society and American Association for the Advancement of Science, Ralph has had an outstanding career in the educational world. Dick Pearson, 1920's sharp secretary, sent in the above—many thanks, Dick.
Still from the New England area, Spiderand Bea Martin are moving into their new home in Wellesley Hills in September, after a couple of years as Boston city folk. Spider sent in a picture of Bob Proctor which appeared in the Boston Traveler, stating that Bob was general chairman of the Air Force Association's National Air Fair at Logan Airport. This was in connection with the Association's annual reunion, which is quite an affair.
Chet DeMond, one of the better golfers in the Class, knocked out a 78 on the Meadowbrook (N. Y.) course the first time he played the layout. This was in a match sponsored by the College Club League of N. Y. in which the Dartmouths beat the Princetons by one stroke. (Let's settle for one point in the November football game.)
From Lowell, Mass., Tom Reilly sends an acknowledgement of his birthday card from the class and says, "It is a nice practice and sort of warms one's heart to get such a remembrance."
Buttsy (Clarence Buttenweiser), the wellknown N. Y. broker and war-time medical administrative officer, states in connection with his greetings from the class that, "Believe it or not, I do not feel a day over 75, but still hope to hit par." Please explain that, Clarence.
Moving westward, Vernon Burke of Painesville, 0., writes of his career, "I left Dartmouth in 1919, transferred to Western Reserve and then got mixed up in World War I. After the war, I returned to Western Reserve, got my degree and went in the fire insurance business I always think of Dartmouth as my college and back in 194.2 it gave me lots of pleasure to take my wife, go back to Hanover and attend the 100 th anniversary of my fraternity, Tri Kap." Thanks, Vernon, for the nice letter.
Fat and Mildred Jackson, on their way to Hanover and points east for a nice vacation, had a most unfortunate automobile accident near Putney, Vt., and wound up in the Brattleboro hospital with painful but fortunately not serious injuries. As these notes are being scrambled together (late August), Fat is still in the hospital after four weeks, but hopes to be home in Pelham soon. Mai and MarieDrane, Nick and Dot Sandoe, Dick Dudensing and Stew Russell, among others, dropped in to cheer up the big baking man.
Passing through Windsor, Vt., one notices the big sign hung across the main stem,
"Stacey for Governor." This is, of course, HalStacey, and all 'lgers wish him well as a candidate for the Republican nomination.
Sally McCrillis, daughter of Jack and Hester McCrillis, was married at Burkehaven, N. H., August 31, to Harold Newcomb Eldredge '50 of Pittsford, N. Y. Sally, who graduated from Chatham Hall and last year from Smith College, was with the Hitchcock Clinic in Hanover. Her husband, who received his Dartmouth degree in June, served with the Army's Tenth Mountain Division during the war. They will live in Denver for a year while Eldredge does graduate work at the University of Denver.
Another wedding of special 'l9 interest took place on the same day in Essex Fells, N. J.. where Nancy, daughter of the Ed Heydts, was married to David Lonsdale Green. Nancy attended Sarah Lawrence College and the University of Lausanne in Switzerland. Her husband, who served with the Army Air Forces in Japan for two years, is a senior at Princeton and the young couple will reside at the university this coming year.
Laura Newton Russell, daughter of Stewand Dot, was married in Holyoke on June 17 to Ernest Cavalli Bigelow Jr. of Bronxville, N. Y. Biggy is a Cornell man and now associated with the Union Carbide and Chemical Cos. in New York.
Max and Helen Norton announce the marriage of their daughter Mary Sawyer to Mr. John Wesley Masland Jr. on June 19. The young couple will reside in Hanover.
Hope to see you at New Haven, Hanover, Cambridge or Princeton and here's luck to Tuss McLaughry and his able assistants. They will probably need lots of it.
