1941
Spring is herel The circus is in town. Next week the Dodgers will be back (the Giants, too). Dope From The Duckboards has again reared its head. The Alumni Fund drive is off to a flying start. I'll be going to Hanover for the annual Secretaries conference. Our daffodils are in bloom. All signs of spring. Too bad it won't stay like this forever. Next thing you know it'll be Japanese beetles. And then the Dodgers will be blowing another pennant. Meanwhile, let's all enjoy it.
One guy who missed a little spring this year was Dave Nutt. The newspapers have been just full of items about Dave's trip to Labrador to make scientific studies of water temperatures and salt tests. Plans called for the party to fly from Westover Field, Mass., to Goose Bay, Labrador, and then journey overland by dog sled and snowshoes to the Hamilton Inlet where the tests are to be made. The trip was sponsored by the Office of Naval Research and the Arctic Institute of North America. This is the way to spend a springtime?
Speaking o£ spring brings up thoughts of love etc. and X don't have any weddings to write about. But how about babies? Here's three for this month. On February 6 at Mary Hitchcock Hospital in Hanover a second daughter, Barbara Jean, was added to the family of Barbara and Dick McCornack. Dick's address is shown as 124 Greenwood Drive, Falls Church, Va., which is the town that Barb and Bob Harvey inhabit. Baby No. 2 this month is Margaret Boynton Wallace, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stew Wallace. This little lady was bora February 24. The third girl to be announced this month—and a longawaited addition to the Amie Bartlett family —is Jessica, born January 11, 1952. Arnie is headmaster at Sanborn Seminary and has four sons.
The guest cards sent down to me from the Hanover Inn are beginning to pile up. If you are interested in knowing which members of the class have been in Hanover recently here they are: Mr. and Mrs. Bill Philbrook of Newton, Mass.; Mr. Henry Gunst; Mr. and Mrs.George Kruger on vacation from Lima, Peru (see below): Mr. and Mrs. Robert Fry of Swarthmore, Pa.; Mr. and Mrs. Robert Tepper from Deal, N. J. (this must be some Deal since Bob was in Hanover on March 2 and again on March 16); Mr. and Mrs. Felix Lilienthal of New York City. Incidentally, we have a note from Mrs. George Kruger which indicates the family is back in Peru following their trip to the States. "George is busier than ever with his consulting geology firm. Our family now numbers three children—Karen, 7, Christy, 4 and Frederick, 1."
From the world of business come a few events worthy of note. John Dorriss who lives around Darien, Conn., has joined the advertising sales staff of Fortune magazine. John was formerly assistant advertising manager of Scholastic Magazines. Married and the father of two children, John will be in Fortune's New York office. That puts two '4ls in the Fortune office in New York—the other being Bruce Friedlich, who has compiled a wonderful record with that important business publication. From Boston, Mass., comes word that Dick Hill of Marblehead has been elected Assistant Vice President of the First National Bank of Boston. Dick is chairman of the 1941 Class Executive Committee. The Rotary ClubNews in Syracuse carries a welcome to JimScott who is now General Manager of the Protectall Safe Cos., a division of the Mosler Safe Cos. Jim used to be a neighbor of ours here in Levittown while he was employed by the Arthur Anderson accounting firm.
Fred Begole is off again. This time the new address sheets show him in Japan with an APO address. Fred's job this time is Manager in Japan for the American Express Cos. His work for American Express has carried him all over the world. Another on foreign soil is Tom Oakes, erstwhile business manager of the Daily Dartmouth. Tom is located in Colombia, S. A., and is Assistant to the President of Winston Bros., whose headquarters is in Minneapolis, Minn. And still another whose work has carried him away from the U. S. is BobBaker. Bob did not go to Togoland to teach lacrosse to the natives but is presently at Accra, Gold Coast, Africa, with Pan American World Airways. Harry Douty has the right idea. His job took him away from the States and over into Europe—for three weeks. He went over to examine the supply of sporting goods which he buys for R. H. Macy, a small retailer on 34th Street in New York. Harry was at the Dartmouth Club first Friday in April and looked great. Must be the salt air in Gimbel's.
Red Taft, who moves around the country more than H. S. Truman, reports a meeting with Ed Marlette in Buffalo, N. Y. They had lunch and separated six martinis later.
Oscar Israel writes from Mamaroneck, N. Y., that he and his wife have two sons and all are doing fine. Oscar says the boys can pick their own college—any college in Hanover, N. H. ■ Now here is a guy I haven't heard from in a long time—George Tamlyn. George lives over in Brooklyn but expects to move back to the United States soon. Kiddin' aside, George, how about some news of what's going on out your way? Jack Delander down in Raleigh, N. C., indicates Hank Gunst is the only '4l he has seen in a year. We were thinking of Jack the other day when someone mentioned that the boathouse in Hanover collapsed and all the crew's equipment was damaged or lost.
What does the Class Secretary have to do to get letters from you characters? I£ only a few each month would sit down and write a little note about other '4ls they know it would make (a) my job easier (b) news fresher (c) BudMartin happier because I could send him more stuff for DFTD. So let's have a wee bit of interest expressed this month. You know I don't have to do this for a living—l can always get a job writing the social column for the Vassar Bulletin.
On May 15 the Alumni Fund will kave reached the halfway mark. That means onehalf our class should already have contributed. Our 1952 objective is $7,870.00. Let's all help Bud Martin get there early. After all, he has to have some time left to sell cars.
NOW A VEEP: Frank W. Hall '41 has been elected vice president of Albert Frank-Guenther Law, Inc., advertising agency, with which he has been affiliated since January 1946.
Secretary, 47 Hook Lane, Levittown, N. Y. Treasurer, 1140 Wightman St., Pittsburgh 17, Pa, Class Agent, Martin Motor Cos., 438 St. Louis St., Springfield, Mo.
