1918

Doc George Daniels, one of the outstanding psychiatrists in N. Y., has this to say. "Had some reactivation of my lung condition and have to take time out again and am staying at Summit Park Sanitorium at Pomona, N. Y„ in Rockland County. Came here Sept. 14 and seem to be making good progress." Come back soon George.

From Phil Sanderson: "Walt and Evelyn Willand had a busy weekend when daughter Helen (mighty pretty, too) was married to Walter Mulstay in the First Methodist Church in Portsmouth, NH. The following Monday the Willands observed their Silver Wedding anniversary." . . . And a nice card from Eddie Butts—"Marge and I are still here, in San Francisco; life has been very nice. We have been doing all those things we wanted to do for years—spent about a month in Hawaii; just returned from a wonderful trip in the Northwest— salmon and trout fishing; we saw the Lyman Blacks in Seattle and they both are well—(then, to polish off the Atlantic coast Yanks) hope you and yours will have a chance to come out to avoid the lousy weather which you have in the East." How do you gallivant around like that, Eddie? Retired? Struck gold? With the local Internal Revenue office?

Very nice card from Woody Hulbert, (not Red, but Woody)—" Son Richard graduated Summa at Harvard '51 and was awarded Sheldon Travelling Scholarship, from 9 to 12 months, depending on how long the money lasts. He has been assured that his National Scholarship would be available for Law School where he has registered, and this depends on his draft status. Cliff (my wife) and I spent our vacation in August on Lake Morey and often showed off Dartmouth to our adult guests. I climbed 4 or 5 mountains including Cardigan, Black and Washington."

AI Gottschaldt, one of the leading advertis- ing men of Florida, made a flying trip to New York. Al left Nov. 17 in an 80 deg. temp., landed in N. Y. City at 25 above; spent most of the day going here and there in taxis so didn't mind the cold, flopped into bed exhausted, to recharge for another heavy day. It was welcome news to hear Al's voice on the phone if only for a minute. Said Al, "Florida is booming terrifically, taxes or no taxes. It's an all-year-round place now. Gus Pratt '44 and my daughter, Mary Louise, his wife, and their 3 youngsters, moved to South Florida this fall, and needless to add, Bee and I here in Coconut Grove heartily approve."

'l'B's N Y City Class Dinner Last Jan. 11. Highlights of the event were Eric Ball, who had come down for the motor boat show; the cracking of saltines on the dome of Paul Miner, now flourishing with a thick crop of dome vegetation, and the reminiscing of Benny Mugridge and Steve Mahoney, of their varied experiences on the Hanover plains. Bill Christgati was there (son Billy is now with North Amer. Insur. Co. and pretty daughter-in-law Patty runs a smart shop on E. 54th St.). Bob Knowles was nearly caught off guard in a relaxed moment when '18ers pressed for an '18 party some hot day on their beach at Lido, N. Y. Ethel and Bob might be at Deerfield Beach, Fla., this month—or* over at Cuba's Veradera Beach seeing Charlie Wolf '17. Henry Hesse, old roomey of Fred Cassebeer, whose two daughters Alice and Barbara had the benefit of one of New York's finest schools, the Brearly School, was there. Inquiring reporter Stan Jones commenting on how fine Henry looked, got the reply that he was on his dogs all day long, and therefore he was shod in fine, comfortable Dr. Lockes, (Macy's own) arch supporting shoes (sorry, Ben Stone, he wasn't wearing "Now You Can Be Taller Than She Is" shoes.)

Another one at the dinner was Asst. V.P. and head of the Mtge. Lending Dept., walt Nelson of the East River Svgs. Bank, and founder of the Peter Minuit Legion Post and its first Comdr. Eric Ball said he was sitting at a Yale basketball game recently when a goodlooking undergrad beside him commented, "Dartmouth might take Yale." "Gee," said Eric, "he was a goodlooking man." Who should it turn out to be but Tom St urgess' son who is going to Yale. Out of Eric's dark undergraduate past came the story from Steve Mahoney and Bennie Mugridge that Eric was with Jack Cannell and others at a memorable beer party in a blacksmith's shop one night at White River June., and Eric remembers wrestling and falling on top of one another as they all light heartedly wended their way along the black road to Hanover. JohtinyThayer reported Kath and Ev Young bought a cute house in Delray Beach. "Jays us Le Fevre looks young and full of beans," continued Delray Beach's ex mayor. Mildred and Jay were slumming at the swanky Breakers in Palm Beach.

Stanley Jones, one of the fittest men in the class {Fat Sheldon knows it too—his steelribbed fingers pinched Fat in the nose for complaining about the Psi U's taking up all this space) was talking with Red Hulbert. Said Stanley, "Brother, I'm aging. Coming up from the Grand Central each morning, there are 3 flights of stairs—2 of 10 steps and 1 of 17. Dartmouth's most persistent repeater of Math I instantly asked Red "the total." At the dinner also was Leicester McElwahi, the Chase Bank stalwart, who always hungers at these gatherings —for his pals Howie Park, Dusty Rhodes and Spud Richmond. It was Dan Shea who asked, "Wouldn't it be nice if we could hear more from Helen and Lew Cousens ens? Do you suppose they'd invite us up some week-end? Lew is such a nice fellow even though he is a Tri Kap. They say that his lovely New England garden with its straight rows are very neat and little you'd realize that he was the man in N. H. Hall always stacking the other fellow's room, or defacing sweethearts' pictures on the walls of Don Scully, Tom Shirley and Nuts Poole." Old Timbertop Shea at the dinner (Capt. of the Dart. Track Team was a graceful sight over the high hurdles) got caught in the buzzsaw between Bentzie Mugridge and Steve Alahoney and his lips were twitching and smacking as the crossfire left him stuttering.

The beaming banker, mellow Richard Holton, with his youthful bowtie, was weighing each man mentally, for his contribution to the Alumni Fund, and bless his soul, may he ever keep us weighed to do our utmost for Dartmouth. Thanks, Dick. Sent in your check yet for the Alumni Fund? Then there was the old N. H. Hall stalwart Red Hulbert, roomey of Dick Oppenheimer, Woody Hulbert &Don Bliss, whose wealth of perspective and poise have been furthered by living in all parts of the world for 15 years—Belgium, Japan, Java, France, Switzerland. Glowing with health was Paul Miner, and referring to Paul's outstanding success with the Under- wood Co., where his picture was flashed a dozen times in their house organ not many months back, Art Howland, a Williams '98 man, commented, "Miner certainly made the front page—he should be in Hollywood; he is very photogenic. I'm glad to hear that his handsome countenance served as a guinea pig in this article. No wonder Underwood keeps him out front." Also at the dinner was good old Bill Wales, who is one of the successful representatives of the famed Donnelly Garment Co. of Kansas City, where the famous Nellie Don dresses are made. (Distinguished Mrs. Donnelly does a $10 million business too.)

Others at the dinner, were Steve Mahoney (seething with vigor from his 2-times-a-week workout at the gym, "the East Brookfield, Mass., boy; Connie Mack's town," Gerry Geran puts in) and Bennie Mugridge (also 2-times-a-week at gym), who has become a student of flower raising and competes with Fred Cassebeer and Judge Harry Collins. Cribbing now from Stanley B. Jones, Editor of the Dartmouth Club New in N. Y. City, whose words delightfully jump, we find "Consultant Bennie Mugridge '18 admits that his firm did a bang-up conciliation and educational job for the American Enka Corp plant at Lowland, Tenn., one that earned the award for the plant of the Public Relations Assn. Citation." . . . Also stealing Stanley's thunder, "Red Hulben reports that son Dick '51, tennis &.racquets lew winner, is now in Basic Training at Fort Dix....

Also at the dinner was the old roomey of Jack Draper and Frank Harrington, namely Ned Ross. It was Frank who enjoyed a visit with Harold Glendening at the Bar Assn. Dinner in N.Y. a year ago. Then there was Bill Rosenfeld, who is doing a grand job with Frank Clahane on Admissions work, and among the many who were missed were Dusty Rhodes, Gerry Geran, Rog Howlan,Dwight Sargent (his son is doing a hangup job with the United Business Service in Boston and they've been good to him), Frank Clahane, At Rice, Harry Collins.

Red Wilson's many admirers have sent in clippings of the fine recognition Red received in all the N. Y. newspapers as the New Chairman o£ District 13 of the Natl. Assn. Securities Dealers. Red is V.P. and Director of the Union Securities Corp. (one of the big 10 in floating securities in N. Y.) and is recognized as one of the leading and most able men in the Street. Said Red of the picture, "Currently I am on the receiving end of a good deal of ribbing about my undergraduate picture and should it make the ALUMNI MAG, you had better have them fix it up with grey hairs, so I'll look the part of a 'silvery grey' and personally I would be very happy if they didn't run it at all." We have missed Red at class dinners this year but no one shows greater interest in the class and wants more to attend than Red himself. Congratulations to you, Red.

From that sterling man, who rocked the Hanover Plains in our day, Stirling Wilson, delightful Sec of '16—"Larry Pope sang at a joint barbershop Nat'l Symphony Concert in Constitution Hall recently, a successful and astonishing event. It got the biggest crowd the Symphony has drawn this year except with Maggie Truman. You should hear Larry's bass in 'Asleep in the Deep.' Dick White has performed a major operation remodeling his house, which was very nice before and must be a palace now. During the upheaval the Whites lived with their neighbors next door, which indicates Dick must get along with his neighbors as he does with everyone. As for myself, I would be afraid to accept an invitation to spend the night with my former neighbors because I know they would turn the gas on when I wasn't looking and then leave me to my fate." Thanks, Stirling.

Bill Wright, (Mary's River Ranch, Deeth, Nev.) exroomey of Ed Noyes and Jake Glos (deceased) and distinguished Rhodes Scholar Carl Newton 'ao, was asked some years back by Sid Hayward to represent Dartmouth at the inauguration of a new Pres. of the U.of Nevada, which Bill gladly did. In a recent letter Bill paid tribute to a man Dartmouth is proud of, Al Dickerson, Dean of Admissions, and referring to a trip to Hanover as fall at the Cornell game, Bill wrote,

"Also while there I would like to in Dickerson, with whom I have also had some correspondence about the boys. In fact, it was largely as the result of his suggestion that the boys got to Andover. I would like him to meet John and to let him know that his suggestion has Paid dividends as far as lam concerned, even if neither one of the boys winds up by going to Dartmouth, which seems to be the case as of now."

"John graduates from Andover this year has an appointment to West Point, about whicch he is only lukewarm at present, and expresses much interest in the possibilities of Stanford, which Bill loves and enjoys very much. I feel that Dartmouth will have lost two good boys and they will have missed something that no other school will give them. But after all people have to live their own lives. They have been fine boys as far as I am concerned, always meeting their obligations and responsibilities and building a sound foundation on fundamentals. Beyond suggestions I do not press them as to their college choice."

Syl Morey was out in the North West in Jan., when the deep snow storms were falling. Chrm. of Board of Assessors (Granby, Conn.) and town prosecutor, a copy of a letter from Paul Miner to Lymie Burgess who also works for Boy Scouts, Am. Legion and the Grange says this, "A letter from my brother Ted '23, a Springfield Medic, tells me that you are confined to the hospital following a bullet injury in a bank holdup about 6 wks. ago (near Xmas) and I was glad to hear Ted say you were making good progress."

At a football game last fall, the warmth of the great Bill Christgau in the football stands, caught the silent man sitting beside him and in no time flat, Bill thrust out his Howitzer palm and .shook hands. Since then we've been trying to locate this 'iBer and wrote to RayHurley who replied as follows:

"Many years ago in a small town in Tennessee, a very valuable mule was lost. The local constable and others searched the country in vain to recover the lost mule. Finally a reward of $5. was offered, and the following day the village halfwit brought in the mule. When asked why he had succeeded when all the bright people had failed, he said he figured out where he would go if he was a mule and he went there and the mule had. I haven't any knowledge of the whereabouts of Ward, but Jiving as I do in Chicago I have, on a mutually profitable basis, an information deal with one Cortland B.Horr, well known to you, with whom I have dis- cussed this problem and have assigned it to him for solution." His report says, The mans name is not Allen but Alex. This is a long way to tell you I don't know anything about Ward, and if anybody can track him down, X am sure Cort is your man.

That stout, sturdy individual we all so enjoyed, Bob Morrison (and why not talk about him even if he is gone?) looms up out of pictures Miriam showed us once of George Arnold, Freddie Carleton and Bob jumping in the nude, or in bathing suits, in snowdrifts around the Tri Kap house (maybe you'd loan them to us for the MAG, sometime, Miriam). Miriam was at Ann and JohnnyJohnston's "Tom and Jerry" party at Christmas, and did Evelyn and Pete Colwell enjoy it!...In the center back ground of the picture showing Harry Truman and just a bit to the right of the photographer's baseball cap with the kindly benign race and the reflected light on his glasses, is our outstanding Editor Phil Sanderson(Portsmouth Periscope, Portsmouth, N. H.). Phil gave his impressions of the press conference with the President on his own vacation down to Key West in Dec. Phil was fortified with letters of introduction from the Portsmouth Shipyard Commander to the Commanding Officer of the Key West Naval Base, and after a thorough screening, the 9:30 scheduled conference began, and after 10 minutes with photographers President Truman was ready for an exchange with the scribes, the majority of whom he could call by their first name. It was all very informal. Not only did President Truman draw Phil to Key West, but also in the Periscope, it said, "At the U. S. Naval Hospital, Key West, Fla , a son Richard Allen was born Nov. 19th to Mrs. Edward R. Beane, who is the former Ruth Shirley Sanderson." . . . Peggy and Ty Tyrrel were itching for Florida in Jan., may be there now. . . . Tilly and Herm Whitmore are adding their customary 8000 miles spanning the continent to see daughter Jean at Laguna Beach, Califs., and the dear ones Herm has so joyfully helped out over many years in addition to his own family.

Ruth and Jake Bingham (Jake's a member of the N. H. State YMCA Comm. for World Services) were in high fettle after midyears, when pretty Janie came home for a few days from Colby Jr. keyed up with a return trip to the Dartmouth Winter Carnival.

Mel Breed, who served 2½ years as a Major in the Signal Corps in Australia in World War II, is very ill at the Murphy General Hospital in Waltham, Mass. No visitors—due to blood transfusions. He's been in the hospital since June. Pitch him a note to cheer him up. Thanks.
