1930

There is no question about it, Al Marsters certainly put a complete finish to his "Sabbatical leave" which he was enjoying during the early part of this last summer. In last month's issue, we reported that during July Al had been made assistant to the president of Colt's Manufacturing Co. in Hartford, Connecticut. On September 15 Al was given the additional duties of director of sales for all of that Company's divisions. The president said, in a published statement, that Al would be in charge of all domestic and export sales and advertising for the small arms division, commercial dishwashing ma- chine division, plastic and fibre-glass division and package machinery division of Colt's. Al's new residence address is 43 Hickory Lane, West Hartford, Conn.

Eddie Jeremiah is a busy man during the fall, most especially on weekends, officiating in football games. Not incidentally, your Secretary overheard the Director of Athletics of a well-known sister college in New England state that, in his opinion, it would be difficult to find a more capable, fair and energetic football official than Eddie. During the summer Eddie has undoubtedly been very much engaged in supervising the installation of the ice making machinery in the Davis HockeyRink. But did you also know that Eddie was a tennis player of considerable repute? The Valley News, which is published in White River Junction, reported a tennis match between the Varsity Courts Club tennis team and a team from Montpelier which was held in Hanover in late August and which was won by the Hanover team by a score of 6-5. The Valley News reported that the climactic game was the finals doubles match which was a hard-fought, three-set affair in which Eddie Jeremiah and his partner, Al Kagann, outlasted their opponents, 6-2, 4-6, and 8-6. The article went on to say, "Earlier, Jeremiah, no stripling himself, was on the losing end of a three-set singles match being defeated, 6-2, 4-6, 6-1, by Joseph Wilson, a spry 63-year-old campaigner."

In its issue of August 31, Radio Daily (New York City) ran a short feature on Stan Osgood '30 as "Today's TV Personality." In part, it said:

"Stanton M. Osgood, NBC film division's manager of production, is responsible for the introduction of several new TV-film techniques in -the current production of the 'lnner Sanctum' film series, to be made available to local stations and to local and regional sponsors in the fall. Stan joined NBC in 1950 as assistant director of TV operations after extensive experience in the theater, films and television.... He served in the U. S. Navy from 1941 to 1946 where one of his major assignments was the production of training films. From 1946 to 1948 Stan was with RKO Pathe and for the next two years was director of production for CBS television."

The Saturday noon of the nationally televised Dartmouth-Holy Cross football game the Dartmouth North Shore Club staged a most successful Dartmouth-Family picnic gettogether in the North Shore Sports Arena prior to the game. Between 600 and 700 Dartmouth men and members of their families either brought their picnic lunches or purchased them on the site and enjoyed the company of their fellow classmates or acquaintances from Dartmouth and the members of their families. Ed Butterworth was the "Master of Ceremonies" and introduced the speakers of the occasion, who were President Dickey and Bill Cunningham. Other Thirtymen who were in attendance at this affair were Rollie Booma, Sam Carlisle and Les Godwin. Last-minute difficulties prevented Herb Chase from attending the picnic, but he did make the game. Herb reported that he and Marge had spent two delightful weekends at "The Keenes" in Etna during the summer.

The 1930 second generation continues to make its mark at the College. The following 1930 sons are in the freshman class: Samuel Albert Adams, Arthur Kidder Birnie, Ronald Hodell Chilcote, and Ryland Ellis Dickinson Chase (son of "Kip" Chase). Congratulations to you, boys, and may your four years in Hanover be as enjoyable as were those of your father and his classmates!

Roger Ela's wife, Anna, has long been a noted horsewoman. But both Roger and Anna experienced an unusual thrill on the occasion of the North Shore Horseman's Association horse show which was held in September in West Peabody, Mass., when their daughter Nancy, aged 12, triumphed over a field of six in the Western Trail Class Competition, winning over her mother, who finished second. With such a victory at such an early age, Roger is sure to find his daughter bringing home many more blue ribbons during the course of the next years.

By the time this appears in print, your class Executive Committee will have held its meeting in New York City on the Friday preceding the Yale game. The meeting was scheduled to consider many important class matters, most especially those connected with 1930's Memorial Fund and the plans for our 25th Reunion in Hanover. Next month's is- sue will carry further word of that meeting.
