1939
Let us begin the New Year by noting the glorious manner in which several of our young men ended the old year. (I am full to the brim of the New Year spirit as I peck away here. Forgive me if this deathless prose seems dated when it reaches your eyes, somewhere around St. Valentine's Day. Magazines and eternal cities take a little time....)
Here they are. All men of high forehead and lofty step:
William R. Carter Esq. has become a partner in the eminent law firm of Messrs. Chadbourne, Hunt, Jaeckel & Brown, in New York City. This doesn't quite make Bill a full-fledged Wall Street lawyer, since his offices are around the corner on Pine Street. Nevertheless, it does put him in a class with Mr. District Attorney and Philadelphia lawyers generally. Bill makes his home in Westfield, N. J., where he is active in Red Cross circles when not being daddy to two little girls and their little brother, who will reach his first birthday come May 6.
Richard M. Monahon has been made Vice President of the Newark Paper Box Co., in the New Jersey city of the same name. Dick, when not making boxes, is a gentleman farmer down in Basking Ridge, N. J., where he enjoys a local reputation as an expert cider presser, chicken executioner, and builder of a basketball court for his two wild Indians, Rick and Grant.
Anthony L. Hunsicker has been elected president of the Philadelphia Food Brokers Association. When in Philadelphia, eating members of the class will do well to bear in mind the name of A. L. Hunsicker Co., Food Brokers - canned foods, dried fruits, nuts, specialties.
F. Russell Fette has become a partner in See, Fette and Stith, general agents for the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company in St. Louis. After wartime service with the Navy and the Department of State, Russ joined New England Mutual as brokerage supervisor in 1947. Since that time he has received the certificates of The Life Insurance Agency Management Association, the Life Underwriters' Training Course, the College of Life Underwriters, and he is currently teaching the Life Underwriters' Training Course at St. Louis University. He is past president of the Dartmouth Club of St. Louis, is married and has three children.
C. Henry Glovsky Esq. was elected to the Massachusetts Senate in a special election to fill a vacancy on December 15. Sen. Glovsky had been a Representative in the Great and General Court of Massachusetts for three years when he resigned in order to campaign for the Republican nomination for the Senate seat. After polishing off two opponents in the Republican primary - carrying his native Beverly by better than 8 to 1 - Henry polished off his Democratic opponent in the grand final. The contest attracted national interest among the political set, since the Democrats had made strong efforts to capture the usually Republican district.
And the names of Messrs. Moreau Brown and Richard Brooks continue to pop up in the news. No. 1 has been elected vice president of the Middle States Association of Collegiate Registrars and Officers of Admissions, while No. 2, in addition to having been the guest of honor at Dick Brooks Day in "some town in Pennsylvania" (my correspondents don't trust me with too much information), was the subject of a big and splashy feature story in the New Bedford (Mass.) Standard-Times, the latest and 132 nd paper to carry the famous Jackson Twins comic strip.
Society note: Apparently it was more than melting snow that took Johnnie Litchfield out of Idaho. Word has been received of his marriage to Miss Jeanette Winchell of Auburn, Me., and Ann Arbor, Mich., at the Congregational Church in Spokane, Wash., on last November 20. Mrs. Litchfield attended Beaver Country Day School in Brookline, Mass., and served overseas with the Red Cross during the War. Johnnie has retired from his position as director of the ski school at Sun Valley and is now in business in Spokane, where he and Mrs. Litchfield are making their home.
Additional Society Note: The annual Christmas dance at the Dartmouth Club in New York on December 29 gained in prestige what it may have lost in grace, through the presence of a large delegation from the College's foremost class. Puffing away on their 1-2-3, 1-2-3s in the best 1939 fashion were Ethel and Herb Hirschland, Meth and CurtAnderson, Pat and Charlie Neer, Sydney and Al Ley, Pat and Rodger "Waltz Faster, Max,They're Playing the Rhumba" Harrison, as well as your secretary and his bride. Also, Clem Burnap, Dick Monahon and DonWheaton, who graced the stag line briefly, before rushing home to Elaine, Joan and Ginger, respectively, on the 7:17, 8:03 and 9:15, also respectively.
It was a surprise appearance on the part of Clem Burnap. He and Elaine had returned to the states on the new Italian liner, AndreaDoria, just a week previously, after three years in London and Milan. Clem has been selling compressors in such places as Norway, Saudi Arabia, North Africa and, on six different occasions, in Yugoslavia. He has come home to become export manager of Clark Bros. Co., with offices in New York City. While abroad, he and Elaine saw the Jim Parkers in Cairo, the Bill Parkhills in London, and Bill Tucker in Milan and London. His comment upon the glamorous life abroad: "Darn glad to be back in the U.S.A."
Interesting bits from or about other membersof the dancing troupe: The Neers have moved out of New York City and into their new home in Englewood, N. J., where Charlie will offer stiff competition to the local orthopedists. Curt Anderson is a successful entrepreneur, owning and operating Mechtronics Corp. in Mamaroneck, N. Y., manufacturers of vacuum-formed point-of-sale displays. PhilWentworth was seen in New York recently doing business for the Prince Gardner Co. (wallets, bill folds, etc.) of which he is national sales manager. Jack Cumming has taken over as president of Colonial Laundries in Providence, R. I. Old Wetwash also is a prime mover in Dartmouth affairs in Providence, and a tireless worker in civic affairs in Barrington, where he makes his home. Dr.and Mrs. Bob Clymer of Reading, Pa., were seen when the lights went on recently at the end of a Broadway hit, by Monahon, who must get around a lot since he can't remember the name of the show.
Jim Brenner of Macon, Ga., and Ed Oppenheim of Oklahoma City are hard workers in the current campaign to make Dartmouth an even stronger "national" college than it has been, by encouraging promising young men from the South, the Southwest and the Far West to enroll at Hanover. By the time you read this, mention of their work may have appeared in the January MAGAZINE, in connection with a report of the regional conferences recently held as a part of the campaign. If you missed it, go back and read it, and then join us in a short cheer for Jim and Ed. Ed, incidentally, also deserves notice for the work he has been doing for the past two years as a sort of Alumni Fund Super-Agent, handling the campaign in the Oklahoma City area for all classes which have too few members in the area to warrant the appointment of Assistant Class Agents.
