1942

This stork derby just doesn't quit! Latest flashes show Hal Eckardt making his bid, after a slow start, with daughter Lynn born June 28. Doris and Pete Koelsch report that their John Peter, formidable West Coast entry, was born July 3, joining 7-year-old Bill and 5-year-old Virginia in the running.

By the time you read this you will have had the word from Charlie Sturz that your class dues will be happily accepted at your earliest convenience. How we managed to get through another year without having the rate upped from four dollars beats me —in view of the general cost rise all about us. When Charlie claims it's a bargain, he has a point at that. While most of the class comes through, some have not in past years. This causes the class members who pay their dues to bear the additional burden of financing the ALUMNI MAGAZINE subscriptions, not only for themselves, but also for the delinquent class members. So, if you haven't already sent Charlie your check, today's the day.

Despite evidence to the contrary this column is not the official publicity vehicle for enterprising Dave Heald. There have been veiled hints that Dave has one of his operatives stationed in the Dartmouth News Clipping Service, but, as yet, this has not been proven. According to the Claremont Eagle, Dave has resigned as managing director of Sunapee State Park and has been named executive director of the newly formed New Hampshire Publicity Bureau. This is a private non-profit organization designed to advertise and promote the recreational industrial, and agricultural interests of the state with offices in Concord.

Now don't misunderstand me. I don't object in the least to the newspaper clippings that have been sent to me through the clipping service. I only wish I had a lot more of the same. So those of you who have your own drum-beaters, just include me on the mailing list for your publicity releases.

This month our bridegrooms, actual and prospective, are really getting around. World traveler Jerry Garduno o£ the Max Factor Co. in Mournemouth, England, has been named as the lucky guy by Miss Joanne Connors of Radcliffe and Lowell, Mass., in announcing the engagement recently. Bill Bishop (the Reverend William M„ that is) was married September 6 to Margaret E. Nichols in Halifax, N. S. The newlyweds stopped over at the Hanover Inn before returning to Port Dufferin, N. S.

There were some other lucky characters who were able to enjoy the Inn's hospitality in Hanover this past fall. Mr. and Mrs. W.John Nauss Jr. of Scarsdale, N. Y., Mr. andMrs. Herbert Englert o£ Short Hills, N. J., Mr. John Stewart of San Francisco, Mr. andMrs. Richard A. Braman o£ Torrington, Conn., Ad Winship, the Melrose ice cream magnate, and Bob Searles, the squire o£ Burlington.

Kennie and Phil Moon spurned New England and made their trip to Minneapolis to take in a bankers' convention. Which brings to mind a most important point. Just how do you list your life on an expense account? Caroline and Ted Schoonbeck came out of the wilds of Grand Rapids, Mich., to spend a week in New York, but it wasn't until Del and Paul Torian came up to Grand Rapids from Evansville, Ind., that they really had a good party. There was some excuse for a celebration, since it was their first get-together since Tewks was sprung from the Marines.

Betty and Alex Fanelli have forsaken the Hanover scene to set up operations in Starkville, Miss., where Babe will be an assistant professor of sociology in the Division of Sociology and Rural Life and Social Science Research Center at Mississippi State College.

Another New Hampshire fugitive is DickBurns, who has recently moved to Chicago where he is purchasing upper leather for shoes at the Forsheim Shoe Co.

There is a rumor making the rounds that Hal Eckardt and Frank Bartlett are spark- plugging an invasion of Hanover, via DexRichard's hostelry, for the Columbia game in November. That's the kind of a story that might well start a run on the local locksmith as the natives prepare to bolt all doors and windows.

Ann and Joe Palamountain please note: What is the story on the recent Swedish addition to your family? Type? Model? Brand?

Don't forget to send in your check to Charlie Sturz, whose address appears at the top of the class notes. While you're in a writing mood, send me a note, too. If everyone made it a point to write in at least once during our nine months of publication each year, I would have more than enough material to pass on to you in each issue. From the looks of my mailbox thus far I may be forced to start writing to myself.
