1930

There is no doubt that the "1930 Man of the Month" for this issue is Milt Mclnnes who, on April 15, was elected Vice President of the Erie Railroad in Charge of Operations and Maintenance. Milt's advancement is certainly the modern Horatio Alger story. One month after graduating from the College in 1930, Milt went to work for the Erie Railroad at its Duane Street Station on Manhattan Island where he served as a dock clerk checking carload arrivals in New York from the railroad's Jersey terminals. During the course of the next three years Milt filled a variety of jobs, serving as yard clerk at Undercliff Junction, N. J.; as checker, assistant foreman and foreman at the Jersey City milk station; rodman at Hornell, N. Y.; assistant dock foreman at Edgewater, N. J.; and foreman at the 28th Street freight house in New York where the Erie car floats deliver cars from New Jersey. In 1933 he was appointed vardmaster at Hornell: a few months later he was appointed to general yardmaster at Corning, N. Y.; and in '935 went back to Hornell as general yardmaster.

In 1936 Milt received his first experience with the general system operations of the Erie when he became chief clerk to the superintendent of transportation in Cleveland. A year later he was named inspector of operations and three months later became trainmaster on the Mahoning division. Subsequently Milt became trainmaster for the Kent division and thereafter served as chief trainmaster for the Mahoning division. After serving for a year as assistant superintendent of the Marion division at Chicago, he was made superintendent of the Buffalo and Rochester divisions in 1940. In 1941 he was appointed assistant general manager o£ the Erie's Western district at Youngstown and in 1942 assumed the same position of the eastern district at Jersey City, where he advanced to general manger of the eastern district. In 1949 he became a resident of Cleveland when he was appointed assistant vice president of operations and maintenance. In addition to this exceptional record of promotion with the railroad, Milt and Blanche have for years taken a most active interest in church and Boy Scout affairs. Milt has always been a stalwart of the Class, having served on the Exec- utive Committee and for many years as an assistant class agent. Everyone in the Class shares in the pleasure of this good news concerning Milt and is proud with and for him.

On the next following day, April 16, HankEmbree announced his departure from the lumber business and his acquisition of a controlling interest in Citrus Products Company, of which he is President, and which has its offices at 11 E. Hubbard Street, Chicago. The chief stock in trade of this concern is flavored concentrates for the beverage industry. Its franchised bottlers use the names "Kist" and "Chocolate Soldier" and it is understood that the company's merchandise is shipped all over the country and to foreign territories. As might be expected, Hank is energetically becoming acclimated to his new business

Vic Borella has added to his business affiliations, having been appointed a member of the new Board of Overseers of The Hanover Inn.

Word has only recently been received of the appointment on February 20 of Joe Golan as superintendent of the Cine and sheet film division of Eastman Kodak at its Kodak Park plant. This is a further and well-deserved promotion for Joe who has been with Eastman since graduating from Hanover. He was first in the production engineering department, was later in the motion picture field production department, thereafter was general sup- erintendent of production and following the war was in charge of the reconstruction of foreign plants and markets.... Win Stone is the recipient of a second Guggenheim Fellowship which will enable him to continue his work on the 18th century stage which is to be entitled History of Dramatic Performancesin London.

Bill Blanchard was elected a Director of the Morristown Trust Company at Morristown, N. J., the first of this year.... At the annual stockholders' and directors' meetings of Bates Manufacturing Company in April, Fred Scribner was elected a director and vice president as well as treasurer of the Company.... Word was received that Bob Keene underwent an operation on his back in Manchester during the,latter part of April. He was in good hands, however, as Bob Rix was the surgeon in charge. The informant indicated that patient —Bob—was doing well and was expected home before the first of May. With all of his outdoor activities during the winter months, Bob certainly gave no evidence of any back trouble. ... Freddie Bowes was scheduled to give two lectures at Tuck School during May, one on public relations and one on advertising, and that was an occasion for Freddie to take his entire family to Hanover for a short vacation.. .. Don Hight continues his active work as Staff Surgeon at the Memorial Hospital in Worcester, but has made it a point to give addresses to various lay group meetings on important medical subjects. During April he addressed the Lions Club of Worcester in support of the American Cancer Society's drive for funds.

It is with deep regret that we report the deaths of Warner Crane and Julio Herrera.
