1943
Another year, another month and another 43 column nestled in the back pages of your favorite MAGAZINE. Have you broken any resolutions yet?
As has been our custom lately, we're starting off this month's offerings with news from the armed services. From Annapolis comes word that Lt. William Alexander is now assigned to the executive department of the Naval Academy, his other alma mater. He had been serving aboard the U.S.S. Richard E.Kraus out of Norfolk. (This makes the second '43er to take up residence in Annapolis recently, the other being Lt. Walter Delany.) A naval reservist recalled to active duty is Pawtucket (R. I.) textile machinery advertising man, Jim Cruikshank, who is now stationed in Washington. .
The number of '43ers who are engaged in the most fundamental occupation, farming, be counted on the fingers of one hand. One is former New Canaan, Conn., resident, Bob Burnap, now at Weathersfield Farm, Amenia, N. Y.
Dartmouth and Oxford-trained Curt Cecil has joined Jim Kerley on the faculty of George Washington University. Curt is an English instructor, while Jim has been a member of the civil engineering department since 1947.
In the land of milk and maple sugar, RayColby is one of the co-owners now of The Maunsell Co., Montpelier, serving as vice president and treasurer. Ray had been associated with the Vermont company since the first of last year. Formerly, the firm sold both office furniture and business machines. Ray and the other co-owner (Philip Maunsell) are now servicing and selling office machines only.
From Williamstown the mailman recently brought us a most welcomed letter from our former compatriot on the The Dartmouth, Williams Political Science Instructor DrexGodfrey. "I smugly remember the Daily D," writes Drex, "as the most professional and mature of all college newspapers that I've run up against and that opinion hasn't changed since undergraduate days." Summarizing his activities of the past five years, he reported:
"1. Left original instructorship at Williams in Fall of 1947 to do graduate study at Princeton and instruct in politics. 2. June, 1950, left Princeton with Midge and Peter (now age 5) for year in France on Fulbright and Social Science Research Council grants to study and hobnob with French labor unions. Found self quickly restricted to non-Communist unions which are few, weak and largely ineffective. 3. Kate born June 13, 1951, in New York. 4. Had lunch one day this summer with Kelly Coffin, Bob Pinto, Don Reich and Art Brown (latter leaving with family the next day for a five-year stint as director of religious studies, the American University, Cairo.) We were all roommates at Hanover and exchanged the usual banalities about hairlines and waistlines. 4. Came to Williams this fall, again as instructor. I am currently teaching American government and international relations."

In the world of journalism, Herb Harrigan has abandoned his reportorial duties for a nice, soft, chair on the rim of the copy desk of the Providence Journal. (Among the copy he writes headlines for is that of Bob Williams a state staff member.) The New York press informed us that Tom Schroth, now assistant managing editor of The Brooklyn Eagle, was scheduled to take part in the first of a series of television programs entitled, Starring TheEditors. The show, which was launched by the Dumont network in December, hopes to get guest newspapermen into a spirited discussion of world problems.
Joining the group of '43ers who have left newspapers for publicity work is Bob Moyer, who has forsaken The Evening Sun in Baltimore to become director of information services for the Housing Authority of Baltimore City. Bob had been with The Sun since he graduated from the Columbia School of Journalism in 1945.
