1936
If nothing got crossed up with his orders, Stoney Jackson is right now stationed at the Naval Supply Depot at Mechanicsburg, Pa. Stoney came out of Fracas IX with two and a half stripes and rejoins with same, having secured a leave of absence from the National Life Insurance Company, Montpelier, Vt., where he has been administrative assistant in the agency department. With a little good fortune in the matter of house hunting Maisie and the two boys have joined him by now. Incidentally, Stoney comes rather naturally by the Navy, his dad having been a captain in the Supply Corps.
We had occasion to be visiting 285 Madison Avenue, N.Y.C., recently and noted a plywood panel in the spot where glass usually is found in the revolving door. Arriving at the 17th floor Curtis Pub offices we found George McCleary sucking on a phone the other end of which was connected to some casualty insurance rep's ear. Seems the aforesaid George had stuffed his south end through the revolving plate by Pittsburgh and while no damage was done to the McCleary derriere, the peddler in the quarter following lost a minor part of a digit as the glass shattered into a million guillotines. Can't figure whether our old roommate was going too slow or New York going too fast but as always, he still makes excellent use of what he has to fall back on.
The Business World
The Dartmouth Alumni Association of Wisconsin elected Steve Stotzer their new vice president at the annual dinner; Steve, by the way, reports a heavy winter in and around the dairy state which slowed things down a bit in the granite business which conceivably could be of some small moment to Herr Stotzer, he being, you'll recall, Vice President in charge of sales for the Stotzer Granite Company of Milwaukee. . . . While we're in the Middle West leave us note that Dick Brierley, as reported in American Paint Journal, has been named to the Bureau of Raw Materials, American Vegetable Oils and Fats Industries. As head of Soya Products Division of ArcherDaniels, Dick is also vice chairman of the executive board, Soya Food Research Council. During the war he served the War Food Administration as a member of the Soya Food Advisory Committee and has twice represented the American soybean industry on official missions to Germany.
Rather nostalgically we recall the days when as freshmen, in order to investigate what went on at fraternity house parties, we picked up a group known as the Pie-Eyed Pipers and played the KKK dance . . . first horn part went to a guy named Conkling—and in case your kid won't practice his damned trumpet just cite for him the case of this same JimConkling who Variety reports has just been elected President of Columbia Records, Inc. Good work, Jimmy, boy! Until the switch Jim had been Vice President of Capitol Records in Hollywood and presumably Donna and the youngsters will leave the San Fernando Valley to join the old man in the East—Columbia's executive chambers being situated in Manhattan.
Personals
Had a pleasant surprise the other day when Dick Treadway sought a few minutes refuge with us in the Statler Office Building in Boston . . . pumped the old gourmet for bits of class news on which we made copious notes which now turn up missing but do recall the one which has Gene Tamburri owning and managing the Yankee Pedlar Inn at Holyoke, Mass. We've known the Inn by its fine reputation and will make a special effort to sample the appointments in the near future. Dick guarantees Gene has what it takes for success in the feed-em and sleep-em field.
Can only report two consequences this trip: (1) Jonathan Dayton Jones, born January 26, bringing the total to three boys for the HughJohn Morris Joneses of Stoneham, Mass. (2) Peter Sage Knight, brother for Julie, and a February 12 birthday for subsequent remem brance in the Winchester, Mass., household of Jan and Dick Knight. . . . Incidentally, while supplying us with details on young Pete, Dick brought us up to date on Hank Mascarello, who modestly but effectively is carving a name for himself in the field of criminal rehabilitation. Presently Henry is Executive Director of the United Prison Association and a member of the board of directors of the Washingtonian Hospital in Boston . . . he's a top-notcher in the field of criminal psychology and one to whom the executive echelon in Massachusetts turn for advice and counsel on matters penal the entire effort deserving of a lot of credit, Hank.
We had some notes on Bill Hoffman but our good friend Joe Cunningham scooped us with a typically comprehensive Tithe job to which we can add nothing except to agree that ol' William Lehner is overworked and underpaid • • • rigbt, Pat? . . . Things can't be so miserable for Bob Fernald at National Lead—his card to us postmarked Los Angeles indicated some careful research being attended to up and down the West Coast for a space of three weeks . . . New York papers, please copy! . . . By a bit of sleuthing we find Dick O'Hare is back in Washington, D. C. Our informers have the tall one with the law firm of Cochrane, Youngman and Rowe, or its equivalent, assuming a few errors in spelling.... 'Tis said, too, that Chet Young has given up his teaching-coaching duties at Quincy (Mass.) Junior High in order to go after his M.A. and/or Ph.D. at Boston University before the G.I. privileges run out.
Ed Nilsson has been doing a burn since his company, the Van Dusen Aircraft Sales Corp., consolidated their operations at the East Boston Airport. . . . Ed has a house in Concord which was right handy to the Bedford Airport, his firm's old headquarters, and finds the new commuting run a little painful particularly after having sold his plane back to the company. . . . A group of the North Shore brethren pulled a party recently at the General Glover Inn in Marblehead, Mass. Wives got the nod and each of the following brought one: Gage Aborn, Don Sutherland, Cliff England, Pete Fitzherbert, Dan Poor and HarryLowd. Beer, pretzels and conviviality followed at the home of Doc Lowd, popular purveyor of pills and pediatrician for plenty of particular people. As we get it the good medico has gone loco—that's short for you ought to see his electric trains a Lionel in every room, they say!
SIESTA IN THE SUN: Dick Cooper '37 (i), chairman of the New Hampshire State Republican Committee, enjoys a short winter rest at Miami Beach in company with (I to r), Mrs. Cooper, New Hampshire's Gov- ernor Sherman Adams '2O, and Mrs. Adams.
Secretary, 21 Leewood Rd., Wellesley 81, Mass. Treasurer, 80 Federal St., Boston 10, Mass. Class Agent, The Brick Cottage, Woodholm, Manchester, Mass.
