1946
A current play calls this the "Fifth Season." You know, summer, fall, winter, spring and slack. In Hanover we call it "Duckboard." No matter how you slice it it's still cold.
From out of the "Lake Country" comes news of Frank Carleton. Frank and Mary had a Frank Jr. this past November. Dad is an accountant with that very fine firm of Haskins and Sells in their Minneapolis office. JimMorse is finally free of the Navy after two years mine sweeping in the South Pacific. What was that tired joke ... headline - "Mine Sinks Destroyer," what does yours do? Home from a valuable and tough job with our Foreign Service in Indo-China is Dave Whipple. Whip married Carolyn Terhune Decker of Westfield, N. J., in February. Carolyn is a graduate of Wells College. Dave is now a vice- consul in the U. S. Foreign Service. Up in Buffalo, N. Y., a strong hold-out on marriage succumbed to the Lovely Suzanne Towns. He's none other than that sly gentleman SamJohnson. They plan an April wedding.
Art Young finished his second tour with the Marines and is making a leisurely motor trip back to his home in Springfield, Mass. Not too leisurely, Art, got to be in shape for that line coach spot with Amherst. Herm Schulting was elected president of the Greater New York New Hampton Prep Alumni Association. Herm has been very active in this fine work for New Hampton. Let's get some of those big Jersey footballers to polish a year at this school and be ready for the bigger teams at Dartmouth. Charlie Ferrin is at the University of Texas Medical School and recently announced his engagement to Jeanne Allen. Jeanne is a geologist with Gulf Oil in Amarillo, Texas. You doctors certainly cover all the bases, Charlie. In Plainville, Conn., Art Sharr married Alwin Koehorst. Alwin is a native of Holland. They are honeymooning in Florida. Art received his Master of Arts degree from NYU.
Here's the case of Ralph Canning working for a rope company and giving himself enough rope etc. Lands him in an engaged-to- be-married situation. Excuse the lightness, Ralph; it's grand news about you and Mary Murray. Ralph's in the research Lab of Plymouth Cordage Cos. in Plymouth, Mass. Probably no truth to the story, but Boston reports a large Cadillac cruising the streets with two hockey sticks forming the familiar "V" on the hood and driven by the leading "Caddy" salesman in New England - Bill Reilly. BobKimball's building a new home up Boston way, anyone worried about how your dues are being spent? Bud and Betty Wingate found a couple of weeks during the flour dour season to vacation in Chicago and Minneapolis. Ike's administration is off in strong style and even 1946 basks in some of his glory. T. ColemanAndrews' dad has been named Collector of Internal Revenue. You can't keep the old fire horses in pasture.
Our recent Newsletter editor Bob Hunt writes a splendid letter with much good information of our members. Mr. and Mrs. Bob have a new little guy, Douglas Sinclair, born last May.

Jim and Gene have two little girls. Bob, thanks for this fine news.

Tim Hartnett is staying close to the tobacco crop in Danville, Ky. Growler Whitman is practically a "Raleigh" chain smoker; keep the leaf growing, Tim.

Dick Turk is back from Korea finishing his stretch at Amarillo, Tex. Dick is a psychiatrist and did special combat fatigue work with our troops in Korea.
Flash from Ithaca. Walt and Mary Snicken-berger had their second boy, Thomas Warren, January 15. Congratulations, but keep him clear of that Cornell influence, Walt. General Foods is again functioning smoothly, but for a couple of weeks it struggled while AudBrindley welcomed his first son into the world. Vel's first comment to Aud was, "He's got big hands and feet, watch him sweep those boards." Dr. Roy Campbell is resident 0.B. at Nassau (L.I.) Hospital and he had a sign set up over the little guy announcing a Dartmouth Class of 1974 candidate. Proposed name for the Inauguration Day baby, Dwight David Brindley.
