1919
Have you sent in your check or pledge for the 1950 Alumni Fund? If not, do it now and help the Class come out in the number one spot in our group.
Other winter travelers than those mentioned in previous issues of the MAGAZINE were Jock and Edna Murray who were in Bermuda during February, and Jim and MaryDavis, whose card indicated that they were enjoying the fine weather and climate in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Heinie Siegbert checks in with some up-todate information on his activities:
"Just a line to bring you up-to-date on my doings. Am now back in New York after having spent nearly a year and a half in London as Deputy Chief of the E.C.A. Mission to the United Kingdom. It was an intensely interesting job and by far the most broadening experience I have ever enjoyed. After dealing with momentous international problems, day to day life in New York seems a bit dull. After resigning the end of August, I spent about four months travelling around France, Italy and Switzerland before returning home the end of January."
Thanks, Heinie, and you may be sure that you will be kept posted on the goings-on o£ New York 'lgers. And we will hope to hear from you at some future class dinner.
From Chicago comes a note from ErnieRautenberg from the offices of the Celotex Corporation:
"It is always nice to know that our Class goes to the trouble of keeping up with its records and remembering us on our birthdays. The card this year is particularly nice and I appreciate receiving it. The only trouble is that much as we would like to forget our birthdays at our age, you good keepers of the records won't let us. When is the class going to get out a new directory? I travel quite a lot and occasionally I have time to look up to see if there is a classmate in town and phone him for lunch. This does not happen at every stop, but I do recall now with pleasure that a few years ago in Dallas I looked up Gene Neely and had lunch with him, and now that he has passed on, I am very glad I did. I noticed in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE last night that Phil Watson is Chairman of the Pow Wow in Detroit in October, and I am going to write him for hotel reservations, as I certainly want to see that game and as many members of the class as possible. Best regards to all 'l9ers in your section . . . ."
We refer the inquiry on the directory to Batch, who was responsible for the last one, and maybe has a spare of that issue that he can send Ernie.
A clipping from the American Banker notes that Fred Daley has been named to the board of directors of the Colonial Trust Cos., of Waterbury, Conn. Fred is president of the Sponge Rubber Products Co. of Shelton, Conn.; also a director of the Derby Gas and Electric Co., the Derby Savings Bank and the Manufacturers Association of Connecticut. Great going, Fred, and the class hereby extends its best wishes for your continued success.
From time to time, mention has been made of some o£ the busier men in the class. It would appear that Bill Cunningham, the pride of the Boston Herald,,—columnist, sports writer, radio commentator and after dinner speaker, belongs at the top of the list. Outside of his newspaper and radio work, Bill is in great demand as a speaker on all sorts of occasions, both in the Boston area and elsewhere, and it would seem as though he were on a perpetual merry-go-round of activities. Note to Doris—tell the old man to slow down a bit, it's later than we think.
Again reporting from the Boston area, EvMoxon with some news (wish Ted Townsend,Simon Stein, Charlie Singleton, Freddie McCrea, Wilbur Johnson, Roland Foss, GeneFluck and other classmates in the West would come thru with some news—have a heart on your sec., will you!?) Ev writes:
"Am still with the Kendall Cos. with offices at Walpole, Mass.—am controller of the Kendall Mills division of the Company. Been here 22 years, my oh my! After 25 years of residing in South Weymouth, decided to move nearer my work, so I built one of those rambling ranch houses, no stairs—it's wonderful for old men, you know. My daughter Dorothy is now a Junior at Wellesley and having a grand time there. Looks some different now than when I used to rush out there some X years ago."
One of Los Angeles' stellar members of the class, Murray Hawkins did come across with a note reporting:
"As you may know, my son is graduating in June and I fortunately am going to be in Hanover for Commencement and stay over for the Alumni Council Meeting the following week My wife Carol and small son Nick will also be with us. As we get back East so seldom, we are making a real trip of it, leaving here around the first of May. I will be in Cleveland around the middle of May and expect to see Bob Stecher and will be in New York the last week in May and hope to see you."
Murray also reports seeing San Treat in Los Angeles and that daughter Jane is at the N.Y. School of Social Work studying for her Master's Degree.
(Sec.'s note—The Dean of the N.Y. School of Social Work is Ken Johnson, Brown 'l9, and old World War I pal of your secretary's. His son is in the freshman class at Hanover and Ken is rapidly becoming an enthusiastic Dartmouth fan!)
Winter travelers, continued—Bunny andMadeleine Collins have been spending the winter at Sarasota, Fla., and are returning to New England via lowa City where they will visit their daughter. They ran into ChampClements and say that he and Adelaide are there for a year at least.
Belatedly from Worcester, Mass .—DonaldP. (King) Cole was selected as the "Clark Man of the Year" by the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. The Clark chapter of the national fraternity has established this award to go to a man or woman on the Clark faculty or administrative staff who contributes most to the progress of the University during the year. The initial award to King is in recognition of his work in setting up an effective, longrange public relations program at Clark.
Still from Worcester, Chet Caswell is another busy classmate—head of the local Y. M. C. A., director of the Rest Home Association and a leader in all civic affairs in his home town.
The Westchester County (N.Y.) Alumni gathering took place on March 29 at the Apawamis Club in Rye and Tuss McLaughry and Bill McCarter helped make it a most successful event. Movies of the Cornell game were shown as well as a new movie depicting the Hanover scene around the clock, which is most interesting and should be a must at all Alumni gatherings. The Class was represented by Ken Huntington (who is taking a prominent part in the revived association), Mai Drane, Chet Demond (who, with Hal Halstead, 1912, recently won the championship in the College League Bridge Association), Nick Sandoe, Harry Colwell (Harry and Lil plan a fine trip to Europe in April and expect to tour Holland, France and other countries on the Continent and have a look at England as well) and last, besides your Secretary, the eminent retired Admiral, Commodore or something, Paul Halloran (too bad they didn't call on Paul to get the Big Mo in operation—the Navy sure needed help on that project!).
Sixty-three percent of all living Dartmouth Alumni contributed to the Fund last year which tops them all—let's hope that 1919 will get that percentage figure up this year.
