Now that a poor weather summer has passed (we had .24 inches of rain in July) let's have more letters from you with NEWS. Our annual fall class executive meeting has been called by Jack Davis for 8 p.m. Friday, November 7, in Crosby Hall. All classmates are welcome and we want your ideas. At this writing a few room reservations are available at the Norwich Inn. That is the Columbia weekend, and fall houseparty time.
Dick Nye is to be congratulated on winning on June 27 the most coveted yachting trophy in the world the Bermuda Cup. With his son Dick '52 in the crew, they won this 18th biennial Newport to Hamilton race in his 46 ft. yawl Carina, which was the first time a class C boat has ever accomplished this. An early July issue of Life magazine carried photos.
Another success story concerns Charlesworth (Bud) Neilson, recently made a vicepresident and director of the New England Tel & Tel Co., specificially in charge of the company's revenue requirements. Bud has been with the company since graduation and is now based at Boston headquarters.
And, just off the press, Bill Farnsworth has been promoted to Brigadier General. He is in charge of procurement for the Air Force in the North East area, which takes in New England and part of New York state. Then there is Whitey, victor in the special Fathers' race at the Corinthian Yacht Club, Marblehead, in the Brutal Beast class.
A late June wedding was that of Stephanie Emerson, daughter of Milt and Alice, to Richard Frederick Weldon in the Community Church at Teaneck, N. J. I haven't details on classmates attending, but the reception was held at the Knickerbocker Club in Tenafly, N. J. Stephanie graduated from the Dwight School for Girls in Englewood and attended Hood College and Berkeley School. The groom graduated from Colgate, where he was a member of Delta Upsilon, and served with the Marines in World War 11. They honeymooned in Bermuda before taking up residence in New Jersey. Milt and his assistants are to be congratulated on their over-the-top effort in the Alumni Fund campaign. Against our quota of .$15,000, donations from 354 men totalled $19,455. Milt, an ardent dry fly fisherman, reports that this summer was not a memorable one. In his "secret spots" in the Adirondacks the streams were either too high or too low at least, so he says.
On July 5, Roxanne Wheldon, second daughter oF Ford and Gertie, was married at their lovely estate in Norwich, Vt., to Edward Kenneth Isbey Jr. '51, o£ Grosse Point, Mich. After a honeymoon in the Laurentians, they will make their home in Grosse Pointe, while he attends his second year at Wayne Medical School in Detroit. Roxanne, an assistant editor of the 25-year book, attended Dana Hall and Smith. The groom was a member of Beta Theta Phi and Dragon. Classmates attending the ceremonies included the Bob McKennans, Art Dewings, Rad Tamers, Alec Laings,Larry Leavitts and Henson Joneses, house guests from Toledo with their three children, Jacqueline, Barbara and Hens Jr.
Content Characterizations of Best-SellingNovels is written by Dr. Jack Harvey, professor of library science at Parsons College, Fairfield, la., and published in a microcard edition by the Microcard Foundation, Middletown, Conn. The book was written as a doctoral dissertation at the University of Chicago. Jack found that plenty of emotion, lots of wordage, exclamation points, along with a sentimental theme throughout the novel, are important factors in a best-seller.
Col. Max Emerson recently visited in Boston en route from Germany to his September station at the Atlantic General Depot. BennieWerntz, who travels over half the time, usually in his own plane, reports that his daughter Margaret Ellen graduated from Green Mountain Junior College a year ago and married William Harper Jr. of Cleveland, an R.P.I. graduate. They are living in Columbus, O. Son 0.B.W. Jr. went from Kiski to Center College for a while before enlisting in the Marine Corps. He is about to be discharged, but is under medical treatment with two knee injuries.
WLAW, the most powerful radio station in New England, one of Bunny Rogers' companies, recently carried the Marciano-Matthews fight. Nate Bugbee this summer joined the fine firm of Standish, Ayer & McKay, Inc., investment counsellors, with offices at 10 Congress St., Boston. Nate is a vice-president and director and will continue servicing his institutional accounts. Eddie Pease's fall schedule includes seeing all the Dartmouth football games. You guessed it, Eddie is still a bachelor. Ralph Gaskill has been elected president of the Detroit chapter of the National Office Management Association. Ralph is assistant cashier o£ the commercial banking department of the National Bank of Detroit.
In late May, Bob Canfield was married in the Perroquet Suite of the Waldorf Astoria to Althaea Kindlund of Westerleigh, Castleton Corner, S. 1., and a graduate of Vassar. BillGriffin has been elected a director of that ultra-ultra advertising firm of J. Walter Thompson Co. Jack Reeder has joined Benton and Bowles, Inc., as vice-president and Account Supervisor. Wen Jones, our art editor of the Jacko, has been made Assistant Professor of Art at Vassar. Larry Larrabee, purveyor of bank note engraving, has renewed his interest in tennis since his daughter Jeanne became a potential champ in Junior tournaments on Westchester courts.
Tom Carpenter has been elected executive secretary of the Empire State Foundation of Independent Liberal Arts Colleges. He holds an M.A. in sociology from the University of Chicago and, since 194.5, has been General Secretary of Staqford University, in charge of fund-raising and publicity. In June Eddieand Julie Hewitt were given a surprise 25th anniversary party by their bridal attendants. Julie attended the Vail Deane School and Vassar and is a past president of the Junior League of Elizabeth, N. J. Among the group were Guernsey from Miami and Brice Disque.
From June Bryant comes word that the Meginnitys, Bob, Gladys and son David were to meet Buck and Carolyn Jones around Labor Day at the Triangle X Ranch in Moose, Wyo. Seems to me something was said about how it might be difficult to picture Bob on a horse. June was elected a director of Friends of the Dartmouth Library, as was Francis Brown. Brownie's literary talents were recognized by the College in June when he received the degree of Doctor of Letters for his life of Henry Jarvis Raymond, founder and first editor of the New York Times, of which Brownie is the Book Review editor.
Keep the news coming and your secretary will attempt to do his part.
