1933

Dartmouth's tremendous Alumni Fund is in the home stretch, and it looks as though ,09 9 might set a record for itself in participa- tion and dollars. If you haven't already sent your contribution to Hanover, do it now be- fore the June 30 deadline. The difference be- tween a spectacular and a mediocre perform- ance by 1933 rests upon a relatively small number of men who have neglected this happy duty to date but who only need a re- minder that June 30 is fast approaching. In- limber your pens for the stretch drive, and let's set a mark for some of our less fortunate brothers (anyone who belongs to a different class) to shoot at. _ n U

From down Boston way, we learn that BobFox (Esso public relations) was chairman of the recent Boston convention of the National Association of Training Supervisors and that the convention went off like clockwork and was hailed as eminently successful. The George Rideouts have a new child, making the score four girls and two boys, we think. During the last few years, there has been con- siderable argument about the largest 1933 family, but the Rideouts latest production should put them at least momentarily m a tie with the Pierre Graces. Do we hear any othei challengers? ,

Moving westward, do you know what attor- ney John Faegre Jr. does with his spare time in Minneapolis? Listen - commander in the inactive naval reserve, formerly president ot the Viking Council o£ the Boy Scouts o America, now president of Minnesota Com" munity Research Council, Inc., one of the or- ganizers of the Parkview hospital program or chronic illness, a director of Hennepin County Red Cross, a sponsor of the United Negro co lege fund, past president of Northwestern Dartmouth Alumni Association, judge advo- cate of the Navy League, active in American Legion and church affairs. If you could ever catch John at home, you would find him a 5236 Kellogg Ave., Edina, Minn., with his wife Florence and two children.

Retracing our steps to Massachusetts, we find that Arnie Salisbury, recently appointe an assistant attorney general of the Common wealth as reported here, was seeking e ec as town moderator in North Ando\er. haven't yet heard how he came out;-

Jumping now to the District of Columbia, we acknowledge a swell letter fr°m ' ' Gay E. Milius Jr. (Department of the wavy, | BureaS of O##, Vpilltj"1 25' which comments on the value of perseverance in regard to Fred Frank's "Oscar," since Gay states that the first time he ever met Fred in Hanover, Fred was working on a scenario. Gay says he hopes to be in the Navy for quite a while; spent an evening in Washington with Dick Jackson re Alumni Fund; Dick Lyons is the big real estate attorney; Cat Milans had a reason for not attending the Dartmouth Club dinner, but the dog died; Dick Bradshaw has again opened his own office in Washington for modern interior decorating and design; FredAwait has left the State Department and is a representative of Michael Baker Jr., for whom Fred is now returning from a trip to Saudi Arabia. We would like more details from Fred on the nature of his duties and the identity of M. B. Jr. Dr. Vince Young is still an outstanding proctologist at Yates Clinic in Washington. Gay ends his encyclopedic epistle with a small amount of news about himself he has moved to an apartment in Arlington and was elected president of Wash- ington Chapter #3, National Sojourners, a masonic order of officers, past and present, commissioned in the armed forces of the U.S.

Thanks, Gay; your letter is the sort of wel- come reporting we here highly encourage. Let others follow your noble example. Which reminds us we recently received a communi- cation from Ivy League Alumni Magazine asking whether we had any proof-of-reader- ship of this column. Somewhat startled by the request, we had to admit that we had nothing concrete on hand except that Jim Merson, in the course of a telephone conversation the other day, reluctantly admitted he had picked up a bit of news of personal interest from the column, and a myopic '32 friend of ours stated that he usually found himself halfway through the column before realizing he was in the wrong class. It would seem quite appro- piate and highly desirable, therefore, that proof-of-readership, if any, be established, in answer to our frequent plea, by a flood of letters reporting your own and other 33 activities. This is particularly fitting now that Jackson's need o£ interesting data for the Newsletter has slackened with the approach- ing end of this year's Alumni Fund.

Harry P. Carruth Jr. is still with the Mead Corp. (paper mfg.), but now as director of plant publications in Chillicothe, O.

Robb G. Gardiner, co-ordinator of student activities at Michigan State College since 1949, is now assistant to the dean of students and lives at 1142 E. Grant River, East Lansing. Mich. If we remember correctly, the Michigan State student activities on the gridiron have been particularly well co-ordinated since 1949-

George E. Hamilton can now be found at 637 Meadowsweet Drive, Corte Madera, Calif. We think he is still with New Zealand In- surance Cos., Ltd., and wonder if he ever gets any field trips to the land of the lamb and the mutton.

Edwin C. Knapp is now at Morgan Road, Canton, Conn., and also sticks with insurance. Still Aetna, Ed?

Ford Marden has urbanized by removing from R. D., New Hartford, N. Y., to 1003 Park Ave., Apt. 3, Utica, N. Y. We are curious as to whether he's still selling steel for Re- public. Please enlighten us, Ford.

John S. Thompson and Ariadne are shuf- fling around Westchester County and have settled at River Road, Scarborough, N. Y. John is still in the cotton goods department of A. D. Juilliard & Cos. We are reminded that, in regard to proof-of-readership, we received a letter from John packed with no news whatsoever when this column first started and have heard nothing from this source since. Doubtless, a proof-of-nonreadership!

Don't forget the ALUMNI FUND NOW!
