1937
By the looks of this dusty typewriter it would seem that the summer vacation is quite definitely over and it has come time to reconstruct the missing months into some semblance of a class column.
First of all we have to report two items of a sad nature, namely, the tragic death in Hanover of Doug Orton this summer, and also the long unreported death of George Schmid. Both are written up in the obituary column. Such reports always come as a complete shock and are hard to believe. Notes of sympathy have been forwarded from the class.
As was reported, too, in several issues of Time, Life and Newsweek last spring, the annual clambake at Bill Brown's place in Gloucester was held on June 23 with a good attendance of men and wives, lobster and beer, slot-machine and casualties. Those in the accompanying picture were supposed to have been there although Jane Brown had just left to replace Bill the 4th in his crib. Here's the list: Dayt Morgan, Larry Brooks,Ed Loveday, George Roewer, Norm Marshall,iVes Wallenius, Monk Amon, Carl Lang, BillBrown, Jim Luttrell, Fred Mayo, Al Bryant (wifeless), Johnny Latchis and Bib Bankart. It was nice to welcome Carl Lang, Ed Loveday and Norm Marshall who were there for the first time. Norm is New England representative for the Hunter Fan & Ventilating Cos., which finds him doing a good bit of traveling through that territory. Carl is with the Verney Corp., textiles, and living in Peterboro, N. H. You might notice that LarryBrooks is sporting the latest "Arm-do" and we would love to say that he broke it trying to open a bottle of his company's Lepage's Glue, but he really sustained a nasty cut on his hand which required several stitches just prior to his joining the party that day. Due to an admixture of good things to eat and drink your correspondent sadly remonstrated with himself the next day in that he had neglected to cull any more personal news from the gathering other than appearing above—but we all had a helluva good time. Incidentally, my only news appearing on the notebook in the space reserved for "notes on clambake" is a heavily underlined squib to the effect that "Loveday had 4 pieces of cake and 1 brownie," whatever all that means.
Also we have a few words about the class officers' meeting which was held in Hanover last May 12 which found the following gathered for the occasion: John Dingle, RogAllen, Don McKinlay,Al Bryant and yers truly. Don ran away with honors in that he was publicly given an Award of Merit by Sid Hayward at the Saturday night dinner for his outstanding work on behalf of the college. This had to do with his activities on getting good material to apply for admission, being secretary of the Colorado Alumni Association, and really helping to build the name of Dartmouth in his section of the country. A local jotting of some interest to us all was also made to the effect that the Dutch Elm disease has been at work in Hanover and although they are combatting it they have had to take down some of the trees to keep it from spreading. So far it is not noticeable on campus, but they have many fears. John Dingle wants it known that he is in charge of a committee who are lining up a special train for the Dartmouth-Princeton game (November 25) which will start in Washington and make pickups all along the nay. They plan to have 2 bar cars and need 300 people in order to put the deal over. Last year they ran special cars on a regular train and it was highly successful but crowded. If you have any plans drop John a line at 1902 Woodbrook Drive, Westwood Manor, Wilmington, Del. There was also a true rumor about that Gus Farwell had been elected Prexy of the Bridgeport Alumni Association in Conn., for which congratulations are in order.
John Chapman seems to be the popular guy in educational circles around New York, three papers all at once carrying the news that he had been named principal of the New non, Conn., elementary school effective this past August. For the past year John had been acting principal of the Chatsworth .Ave School in Larchmont, N. Y. From the looks of him in the picture accompanying one of the articles he is most pleased with the new situation.
The diaper department has produced two new girls for the following doting parents: Tom Veling's born May 21, named Patricia, and Katherine Kimball Hall, born to Elise and Kim Hall on July 3. A note from the Halls says they are living in Los Angeles where Kim is doing rocket research as a chemist with a jet propulsion laboratory.
Fred Forsch and Lillian Sager were married on April 20 in New York and have a new address at 381 Park Ave. Also there is another wedding due shortly as a result of the July engagement announcement of Miss Wanda Dabrowski to John Ohlinger. For the past two and a half years Wanda has been a hostess with the American Airlines and John is deputy chief for scheduled air carriers in the CAA, Region 1. He served six years in the Air Corps and holds the rank of Major in the National Air Guard.
News from N. Y. In Bob Cooke s column in the Herald Trib we find the following which we quote, "By way of adding a little power to his staff of associates, Steve Hannagan, who will publicize baseball's jubilee next year, has signed Dave Camerer, the former Dartmouth athlete."
It may be a little late but there has been much publicity put out on the big Dartmouth Pow-Wow in Detroit, October 6-7, for the Michigan game. For anyone within hailing distance don't forget to drop in to the Statler Friday night and see who's there. And anyone who does go please drop me a line and give out with any items of interest to our class—it will be much appreciated. If anyone wants information now write to me and I will send you a circular on it.
During the past summer we had a number of fortunates who planned for one reason or another to get back to the famous hills we love so much. Inn says they were host to AugiePaeschke, Mort Ely from Hawaii, Mai Merritt,Jim Otis, Bob Crawford, Claude Clark, BillMauran, Dick Kryder, Mr. & Mrs. Bill Bell,Dr. & Mrs. John Herman, and Mr. & Mrs.Walt Robson. Now if any of you people want to say why you were there and what you found we would be most pleased to have a word from you.
A nice letter from Wayne Ballantyne rolled thru the door a few days ago from Los Angeles which he says was prompted by the arrival of the MAG and his signing up for a Dartmouth Deep Sea fishing cruise (which we would like to hear about). Wayne was in NY last May but was sorry he had no time to see anyone due to business pressure. Also, on March 30 the Ballantyne's added a daughter, Alice, to the family. Since moving to California they have not become 100% accustomed, as he describes the "balmy" weather as everlastingly foggy, smoggy, etc., but what can any real easterner expect? (Maybe this will get you transferred if you show it around.)
Just in closing we would like to make a plea. With this spector of additional service hanging over our heads due to Korea we would appreciate hearing from anyone who is called with any address changes as soon as you know them. AI Sutter, what can you tell us?
