1919
Through the fine generosity of Greif andCathy Raible, two new scholarships have been established at the College with maximum awards each year of $2000 per student. These scholarships are in memory of their two sons, John and David, through the John R. Raible Foundation and will be known as the John Marshall Raible and the David Gardiner Raible scholarships. Quoting President Dickey, "The awards are the largest Dartmouth has ever offered and represent a fine step forward in Dartmouth's present drive for scholarship funds." Both scholarships will be granted on the basis of "scholastic ability, leadership and financial need" by the Dartmouth Committee on Scholarships and Loans, subject to the approval of the Raible Foundation Board of Supervisors. Preference will be given to students from specified schools in Cleveland, Ohio. One scholarship will be awarded, first in the fall of 1950 and every other year thereafter, to students who have been graduated from either West or the Lakewood High schools in Cleveland. The other scholarship to be granted in 1953 will be awarded every three years to a student who has benefited from previously established Raible grants in both the Hawken Junior High School and the University High School. The Class hereby extends to Greif and Cathy its most sincere thanks and congratulations for their thoughtful and generous gifts, that will give to Cleveland boys, who otherwise would not have had it, the opportunity to attend Dartmouth.
From Salem, Ohio, comes a note from JimWilson, the big wheel in the Salem Tool Co.Jim states,
"I had hoped to be in New York for the April party but plans are changed again. The Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Indiana group should certainly be in full attendance at the Michigan game next Fall. On a trip to Boston last February I had lunch with Jim Davis, the 100% plus merchandiser of the Bean City. How are plans coming for an impromptu reunion at one of the- White Mountain Hotels this summer or next? It would be fun if a group of the class could spend a week or a weekend together in the White Mountains. You know we have all reached that lazy age where sitting and rocking is a pleasant task. Of course, fellows like Jeavons are tireless."
Your Secretary tried to stir up some interestin an off-year reunion, with the N. Y. gang atour last class dinner, and made little progress.How about a few suggestions from the rest ofyou—when, where and how?—many classeshave these get-togethers with great success.
Visitors at the Inn during the early spring included Jim and Mrs. Wylie from Pittsburgh.
19's stellar representative in Vermont politics, Hal (J. Harold) Stacey has announced his candidacy for the nomination of Lieutenant Governor in the Republican primaries in September. Hal has long been a member of the State House of Representatives, serving as Speaker in 1947, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, the emergency board and the commission to study state finances. Good luck, Hal, and 1919 and all Dartmouth Vermont Republicans take notice as to who is running for Lieutenant Governor next September.
Early spring is the season for Alumni Dinners and the first one in these parts was the Boston gathering. Present were Phil Bird,Jack Clark, Dr. Henry Clay, Howie Cole, HerbFleming, Rock Hayes, Ray Hinds, Jim Hitchcock,Bob Proctor, John Shelburne, Nock Wallis and the eminent Boston surgeon, BillWhite.
Jim Hitchcock's son, David, was married early in the year to Maida Hyde, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hyde of Waban, Mass. The young couple will reside in Boston. JimStone and wife were present at the wedding.
Art and Madeline Havlin were among the winter travelers, having had a sojourn at the Elbow Beach Surf Club in Bermuda. Also, Stanand Alice Mauk with their two sons (both seniors at Hanover) were Easter visitors to Bermuda.
Rowland Pollard, who spent many years in Rangoon, Burma, with the Standard Vacuum Oil Cos., has finished his stint in the Far East, and is now living at 105 Morton St., Newton Center, Mass. Glad to have you back in the States, Rowland, and hope we can count on you for your continued interest in the Class and the College.
Cliff Hayes, Vice-President and Director of Pacific Mills, was back in the haunts of his youth (Boston) for the annual meeting of his large and successful company. Your Sec. still hopes to catch him on one of his New York trips.
The Hard Fibres Association of N. Y. (must have something to do with hemp) has announced the re-election of Bob Paisley as president and member of the board of governors. We missed you, Bob, at the last class dinner and the big affair at the Commodore.
From Providence, R. I., Bob Smith reports that he returned to work in October, and "feels fully recovered and intends to stay that way." Bob anticipates the marriage of his two daughters, Joan on April 28 and Constance in June. "This will leave me entirely out of daughters and Mrs. Smith and I will probably spend a certain amount of time travelling." Thanks, Bob for your note.
Staff Hudson noted the absence of the 1919 freshman football picture from the April issue as reported in the Class News. "I suppose the ALUMNI MAG. disappointed you—can you get it in a later issue?" This matter is hereby referred to Charlie Widmayer, the most able Editor of the MAGAZINE, who has promised to have it in the May issue—if it didn't appear, tell him about it. Staff goes on, "Our Pow Wow plans are well under way—Phil Watson is a most effective chairman. He and I being the only two '19ers in these parts (Detroit), want to fix a real get-together of the class here when the (Michigan) game rolls around." For those of you who can make it, contact Staff at 400 Buhl Building, Detroit, or Phil Watson at 1818 Buhl Bldg.
A very belated thanks to Bob Proctor, the well-known and successful Boston lawyer, for is nice note re the class birthday card—like- wise to Spider Martin, Rock Hayes, Batch,King Cole and Lou Munro, who send in news "ems as they pick them up-why don't a few more of you try it? It only takes a few minutes and helps keep the Class up-to-date on the doings of our classmates.
he New York Dinner on April 12 was a most enjoyable affair and the class turned out 22 men, a very creditable showing, and ereby beating the Boston crowd by 10. We assembled in one of the private rooms on the ballroom floor for pre-dinner libations and get-together and apparently this innovation pleased the gang, and it served to get the class into a group. Present were Clarence Buttenweiser,Ed Warnke (president of the Long Island Alumni Association), and Nick Sandoe (Alumni Council member) both at the speakers' table, Ed Fiske, the great curler and ex-sea dog, Bri Greeley, Mai Drane, MoseRobinsoti, Lou Munro, Tom Bresnahan, WinBatchelder, Sam Jenkins, another of our '19 doctors, Horace Hitchcock, representing the lawyers, Lou Garrison, Paul Halloran, OscarLewis (Ethyl Corporation,—who doesn't buy Oscar's product?), Dick Dudensing (who doesn't drink the products that Dick sells, swolleB?), Che I Demond, Ken Huntington and the pride of the New Jersey Medical Profession, Dan Eeatherston. Two added starters whom we had not counted on were DennieSullivan, who hasn't shown in a long time and was most welcome, and the sun-tanned and aforementioned Toledo lumber merchant, Stan Mauk. Hal Parsons had to miss it at the last minute and was duly regretful.
This being the sign-off until October on news of '19ers, how about sending in some notes on your summer doings so that the October column will be full of the latest on the Class? Have a good summer and remember your age.
And most important, send in whatever you can afford, and all of us can afford something, for the Alumni Fund,—before June 30.
TWO SCHOLARSHIPS of $2,000 each, the largest Dartmouth has ever been enabled to offer, have been established by Greif Raible '19 (above) and Mrs. Raible in memory of their sons John and David. Students from specified schools in Cleveland will have preference in the award of these outstanding scholarships, one of which will be inaugurated next fall and the other in 1953.
