1933
As our usual monthly service to bill collectors and former roommates, we give you some recent address changes, to wit:
Cornelius J. (Connie) Corcoran, having last fall married a Lowell girl, Ramona Home, has moved from Methuen to 4 Sanborn St., Lowell, Mass., where we believe he's still a newspaperman.
Henry L. (Larry) Durgin, formerly reported as a Lyme, N. H., farmer, must have voted right. His new address is 1475 Euclid St., N.W., Washington 9, D. C. One of Benson's boys, eh, Larry?
Fredric M. Frank, screen writer with Paramount Pictures, has moved from Hollywood 28 to Los Angeles 27, Calif., where he lives at 4119 Los Feliz Blvd.
Ted Okie has moved his place of business to 260 Madison Ave., New York 16, and lives at 128 Camp Ave., Darien, Conn. We think Ted is still account executive, vice-president and director of J. M. Mathes, Inc. (advertising). Right, Ted?
Tom Eastman, who traffics in coal and fuel oil, has likewise moved his office to 1930 W. 17th St., Chicago 8, 111., and also resides outside the city line at 148 Grace Ave., Elmhurst, III. Back in '38 Tom married a Mary Smith which gives your editor a feeling of kinship. I have two aunts and a next-door neighbor proudly bearing the same name.
We received from an anonymous but nevertheless appreciated source, pasted on the back of a bill for Class Dues (including subscription to the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine) for the Class of '43, these two thoughtprovoking clippings printed in green ink:
"W. L. Snead '33, of Columbus, 0., spent a little time with us during January." "Dr. DaveWarden '33 practices obstetrics in Huntington and lectures on that subject at Bellevue Hospital when he is not duck-shooting on Maryland's Eastern Shore."
We also received an honest-to-God letter from Jim Doherty in response to a query in this column. The letter, of course, has been framed, representing as it does a symbol of what we expect but don't get from each of you, but it states that Jim works for the Installation Division of Western Electric, was assistant superintendent of labor relations in N.Y.C., and last June was transferred to the Atlanta area where he is district superintendent of installation. Jim and his boys install all central office and other types of communication equipment for the Bell System, and his responsibilities cover the states of Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina. Jim, Mrs. Doherty and 10-year-old Deborah are pleased with Atlanta and they would all be happy to see any of you guys who might be passing through. From his letterhead comes this arresting office phone number, OFficial 8600. Thanks, Jim, and may the fact of your letter-writing prove exemplary to the rest of your classmates!
Gleanings from here and there: Rumor hath it that Walter P. Chrysler Jr. is one of the backers of a new show scheduled to open in N. Y. soon. Can you give us more details, Walt?
Under date of March 4, the headline of the Claremont (N. H.) Eagle screams "HARTFORD VOTERS OUST DEWEY, BROWN," and we learn that Bill lost out by 35 votes (1107 voting) in his run to be reelected to the board of selectmen of the Town of Hartford. However, so the day would not be a total loss, the electorate again voted the sale of beer, wine and hard liquor. We're sure Dewey's worry over Class Dues prevented him from going all-out in his campaign. Come on, you guys, and pay up (only $6 including subscription to the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine adv't.) to free his mind for these greater tasks!
Jim Woods (who is President of Whitehill Tax Service of Maine) and wife practically live at the Hanover Inn. Nearly every month we note they have registered there. Hereafter, Jim will need to be more spectacular, albeit none the less to be envied, to crash this column.
Alva Z. Allen has been appointed by New England Mutual Life Insurance Co. district Group manager with headquarters in Cleveland. His district will include Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia and parts of Pennsylvania, New York and Michigan. If Alva gets around the circuit much, some of you boys ought to be running into him so you can hear for yourselves how, after nine years of experience in the field of secondary education both as teacher and high school principal, Alva heeded the siren call of the group life insurance business and has steadily progressed in this field with Connecticut General, Northwestern National and New England Mutual.
Another adopted Ohioan, Dr. Richard P.Goldthwait, professor of geology at Ohio State University, broke into print in the Urbana (III.) Courier recently as about to deliver a lecture on "Glacial Events on Baffinland in the Arctic." Dick has been interestingly busy (and cold), and we quote:
"Prof. Goldthwait is internationally known for his studies of glaciers and glaciation. In 1951, he was a member of an expedition to Bamnland, where he studied glaciers and peri-glacial features. He is also recognized for his research on active glaciers in Alaska and the Alps, and is deviser or the method used for making seismic soundings to determine the nature and thickness of glacial ice. As a result of this research, he was invited to London to address the Royal Geographical Society.
"Prof. Goldthwait has made extensive studies of Pleistocene glaciation in the U.S., including work on Cape Cod, on the Presidential Range and elsewhere in New Hampshire, and more recently in western Ohio. a member or the Reynolds Expedition to China in 1947, he made a reconnaissance study of the geomorphology or northeast Tibet. During the war, he served as consultant with the U.S. Army Air Force.
Two address changes not previously reported: Edward S. Lord, 45 Marquette Rd., Upper Montclair, N. J., and Richard F.Meyer, 4 Deacon Drive, Kirkwood 22, Mo.
From the Greenfield (Mass.) Recorder-Ga-zette of February 9 comes news that WilliamE. Porter Jr. has been named treasurer of the Westfield River Paper Company which operates mills, in Lee and Russell, Mass., and two in Philadelphia. We don't yet have Bill's new address.
And from the Lawrence (Mass.) Tribune of February 7 we learn of the appointment of Arnold H. Salisbury, 301 Johnson Street, North Andover, Mass., as an assistant attorney general of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Congratulations to all of you mentioned herein on your promotions and appointments! And this brings us to one of the most worthwhile promotions we know, viz.:
The ALUMNI FUND is rolling in high gear. Dick Jackson and his A. C. A.'s are beating the bushes and the Class is responding with good early returns. Last year 370 men of '33 contributed about $9700; this year we are out to beat '33's record of 400 contributors, and our goal is $14,070. Simple figuring on the back of an old envelope will show that if we should equal our record of contributors, the average contribution must be better than $35. Some of us just can't afford this kind of money, while others of us can do substantially more. But each of us can send something for the Dartmouth that was, and is, dear to us. Together we can carry the load, and shoulder to shoulder men of Dartmouth everywhere will again magnificently accomplish this amazing and inspiring act of faith which is the Alumni Fund. Above all, let our contribution be a thoughtful one! And let it be an early one, too! Every check in now takes a lot of pressure off Jackson and his boys for the June 30 deadline. If each one of us in the Class were to consider himself an Assistant Class Agent and immediately dispatch his own check, what a cinch would be the job of Class Agent!
Secretary, 217 Goundry Street, North Tonawanda, N. Y. Class Agent, Legal Dept., B. & M. R.R., 150 Causeway St., Boston, Mass.
