1935

Hello, gang. Here we go again for the last time this year. It's June. And June means graduation and weddings, brides and grooms. And, as a consequence, direct or indirect, children. And that brings us to the opening news of this column.

Fritz arid Ali Hormel announce the arrival of their first daughter Elizabeth Laurence, born January 10. Fritz is a lawyer working in New York. And out in Chicago, Betty and Dick Montgomery have a boy Warren Alan, who arrived March 29. Dick also sends along a letter in the further explanation department

"Two of the newest members of the Dartmouth clan met face to face Sunday on the occasion of their one-month birthday. Betty Jo and Ed Freeman brought over their new daughter Barbara to exchange wails with our new son. Though they were born one day apart, they made the celebration a mutually noisy one. Ed Offutt passed through here a short while ago and we had a most enjoyable lunch We tried to nail Bo Kreer, but McCannErickson's busiest vice-president was more than busy that day, and Ed and I were forced to drink our martinis without him. . . . These new accounts (Goetz Beer and Elastic Starch) have had me out of town more than in. Coupled with that, the excitement at home, the chores involved in moving our office to new quarters give you the general idea why Dartmouth has had to take a back seat for the time being."

Thanks and congratulations, Dick. See you on your next trip to New York. And to you, too, Fritz. We'll probably meet soon at some street corner waiting for the light to turn.

A couple of months ago we gave you the dope about Charlie Nayor's sterling defense of Boston's young womanhood. Here's a follow-up from Charlie:

"Apparently the case attracted some international attention as T. S. Eliot commented about it to the King of England when he was dining with him one evening as reported by the London Thnes. A number of friends wrote me calling attention to newspaper articles about the case in Miami, Nashville and several other spots where I had no idea they even read newspapers. . . . Just so that you will not be frustrated as a result of never knowing how the case came out, my position in behalf of the Kathleen Dell School was upheld, and the teacher who sued the school received nothing. . . . Have recently had some business dealings with Paul VanAntiverpen out in Milwaukee and we frequently are in touch with each other. And the Boston group recently had a terrific cocktail party out at NewkStainsby's home in Dedham. Am already looking forward to the next one. They're always bang-up affairs."

And here's a letter from Jack Egan, newly moved from New York to Cleveland: "Thanks for the plug in the MAGAZINE. However, I'm working for Lamson Corp., not Samson as you mentioned. (Ed. note: The typesetter must have been a strong man.) I bought a home at 1065 Maplecliff Drive, Lakewood, and expect to move in about May 15. Recently saw LouWeitz at one of the Cleveland luncheons. He and I are going to get together some night and do the town while I'm still a bachelor." You'd better hurry, Jack. Those good steaks and martinis won't last for ever.

Had lunch in New York recently with Maury Rapf, who is looking around the big city for something to keep him occupied next winter in the film making line. He's planning to move down from Norwich next September. Introduced him to one of the Compton television directors who turned out to have been a juvenile actor in the first movie that Maury scripted in Hollywood after graduation. Between the two of them they spent hours remaking the movie from beginning to end.

Willie Ogg was made Chicago district sales manager for the Norton Company, grinding machine division, on April 16. Will has been with the Norton Co. since graduation and was New England sales representative.

A news item from Cincinnati: "GeorgeCook, merchandise and service director for Palm Beach Co., has been chosen to head the trimmings purchasing department also. George went with the firm immediately after graduation in 1935, beginning in the production department and eventually working in nearly every division of the business."

At the annual meeting of the Missouri State Horticultural Society in January, John J. Bell of Boonville, Mo., was elected President for 1951. Johnny has been in the farming business for the last several years and his good work apparently is being recognized.

Recent visitors to the Hanover Inn include: Hank Muller from Pittsburgh, Dr. and Mrs.Dan Reagan from Boston, and the Mac Mccartys from New York.

We end this column on a very sad note. In the back of this issue will be found notice of the death of Ralph Colby of Boston. Ralph was very active and interested in Dartmouth and class affairs, a spark plug in Boston activities, and, most of you will remember, cochairman of our last reunion.

The fund drive is now almost over. Hope you all saw fit to participate. If you haven't yet, how about doing something about it right now? Thanks and see you next fall. Have a nice summer.
