1930
Carol and Joe Golan visited the Walt Dressers in Calais, Me. n a trip through New England in late October. From Calais the Golans went north through the famous Aroostook County, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario and on home to Rochester, N. Y. Joe showed the Dressers some movies taken by Joe o£ 1930's last Reunion picnic and Walt was especially interested in a shot o£ Red Gould toting away his lottery prize of the 100 lb. bag of "Summers 5-10-10 LawnLifting Fertilizer." Walt volunteered that if Red has already completely consumed that hundred pound bag on his two ivy plants, Walt will gladly send him some more to keep the Gould ivy crop in prize winning condition.
Wayne Van Leer supplied recent news from the Washington, D. C. area, where Wayne has been handling all Government contact work for Great Lakes Steel Corporation since last June. We have never become accustomed to astronomical Government figures, and this one is equally challenging, but Wayne reports that this fall "they" sold 50 lineal miles of 40 foot wide steel Quonset Buildings to the Department of Agriculture for the purpose of storing shelled corn in nine midwestern states. Wayne reported that Bill Howe and Fred Jaspersen were part of the Big Green cheering section at a recent Cornell-Dartmouth luncheon in Washington. Dick Squire also was a visitor from Newark, where he is General Superintendent of Hahne & Cos. (department store) and Dick and Wayne had a pleasant get-together at Win Stone's in McLean, Va Frank Ryder, writing from Wood's Hole, said that the sea was never quite as thick as the night air in Connecticut the night of the Dartmouth-Yale game this fall and that he hopes never to experience such "tough" driving again. Frank is looking forward to the Boston Alumni Association dinner in February The Progress Edition of the Tulsa, Oklahoma Tribune of November 7, 1949, carried the picture of DonMcßirney as President of the National Bank of Commerce of Tulsa. That edition of the Tulsa paper was forwarded by an older Dartmouth man who referred to our "esteemed classmate" and made it abundantly clear that "Don is an important figure in the community."
Pat Weaver, Vice President in Charge of Television for NBC, was named Chairman of the Advisory Committee for the American Heart Association's 1950 campaign, to be conducted in February, which has for its goal the amount of $6,000,000. The purpose of the campaign is to carry forward the fight against heart disease through a national program of scientific research, education and community service Harold Kaplan is now Associate Professor of Physiology and Acting Chairman of the Physiology Department at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, 111. Harold became associated with Southern Illinois University this last September and recently was also made a Premedical Advisor at the University Walt Rosenberry has turned up with an address change from St. Paul to Spokane, Wash., but we don't know whether this is merely temporary or whether it represents a permanent change of address George McClellan, after two years in Japan, is now back in the United States and as of this January 3 commenced work at the Los Angeles State College, where it is understood that he accepted a professorship (but in what department we do not know).
Many Dartmouth men serve the College in many different ways. Those who are serving on committees interviewing candidates for admission to the College devote a great deal of their time to the College and their contribution to Dartmouth should not be overlooked. Many Thirtymen are serving actively on interviewing committees, but the following are chairmen of committees: Red Alcorn Johnnie Maitland Jack Cheney A 1 Marsters Walt Dresser Herm Sander Jim Dunlap Paul Shanley Win Durgin Milt Shultz Chuck Fisher Art Shurts Bill Harrison Cliff Williams Cotton Holmes
George Parkhurst is the member of the Alumni Council in charge of interviewing for the states of Maryland and West Virginia.
Bud French has received an enthusiastic response, for the benefit of the Memorial Fund, to the suggestion which was made to him and which he reported by letter to the Class late in December, that Thirtymen who were in the Armed Forces might wish to contribute all or a part of their National Life Insurance refunds to 1930's Memorial Fund. More and more fellows are starting now with their ultimate Memorial Fund gift by making contributions in "smaller bites" over a period of several years. You, too, must want to "share your luck" with Dartmouth through 1930's Memorial Fund.
HITTING THE BOOKS AGAIN, after 20 years as an alumnus, Linton Weil '30 is back in Hanover to get the degree he missed when he left at the end of Junior year. He plans to go on to graduate work and possibly teaching in the field of psychology.
