1927
There are 39 sons of members of the Class of 1927 now in college, and it occurs to me that it might be of interest to the Class to know just who they are, so here's a list of fathers and sons:
Father Hal Koerner Dick Pierson John Pike Cary Stiff Jim Chandler Don Colby Charlie Haynes Art Keleher Walt Quinn Ken Murdoch Bud Wesselmann Don Woodworth (deceased) Bill Browning Rufus Choate Larry Duncan Lee Greenebaum Reg Horton Urb Lauber (deceased) Warren Murray Son John H. '53 Emery L. '53 Robert C. '53 David P. '53 James J. '54 James G. '54 Ira G. '56 Rollin F. '54 Arthur M.'54 Edwin L. '54 George F. '54 Glenn A. '54 Don W. '54 William H.

From the above list it would seem that 1927 is doing its share in keeping up the quantity, and, I am sure, the quality of the College. Certainly a group like this is deserving of recognition in the form of a Class father-and-son weekend in Hanover, and while it is too late to arrange one for this year, I hereby promise that your officers will do their best to arrange one next winter. Volunteers for the job of chairmannmg such an event are hereby earnestly solicited.
Brad, Fuller was recently elected as. vice chairman of the school board of Newburyport, Mass This means that Brad will be the presiding officer of the board, as the mayor, by virtue of his office, is the chairman. He has lived in Newburyport for the last 25 years, and has been a member of the school board since 1939. The Fullers have five children; Barbara, the oldest, is married to Arthur S. Page Jr.; Margaret is a senior at the University of New Hampshire; and Lois, Bradley, and Roger are in school at home. Brad has been with the United Shoe Company since leaving college.
Sykes Hardy, who is president of T. Ryerson and Son, Inc., and a director of Inland Steel, was recently elected as a member of the board of directors of the American National Bank and Trust Co., of Chicago.
Marsh Cleaves, for reasons of health, has had to give up his responsibilities as head of the underwriting and issue department of Home Life of New York. Marsh joined Home Life in 1929, was appointed underwriting supervisor in 1936, assistant secretary in 1940 and underwriting secretary in 1941. He became underwriting vice president in 1950. Last year he served as president of the Home Office Life Underwriters Association and is a Fellow of the Life Office Management Association. Under the advice of his doctors, Marsh will take an extended period of rest.
Bill Auer, who is president of the Maiden Trust Company, and a member of the executive committee of the Massachusetts Banking Association, was recently elected a director of Kyanize Paints, Inc.
Francis Steegmuller is the translator and editor of The Selected Letters of GustaveFlaubert, published by Farrar, Straus, and Young. Also, for the benefit of those of the Class who do not read the literary columns of this MAGAZINE as thoroughly as the Class Notes, Bert Gruver has recently written TheStage Manager's Handbook, published by Harper and Brothers. For a review of this, see Page 6 of the January issue of the DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE.
Rufus Choate heads a committee set up by National Business Publications, of which he is a director, to represent its members whose books will be affected by the second-class mail rate decision. Rufe is president of Scott-Choate Publishing Corp.
Cliff Randall, a director of Rotary International, was a featured speaker at the conference of the 232nd district of Rotary, at Columbus, 0., on February 14. We are indebted for this information to Russ Webster '26, who says that Cliff's address was the highlight of the conference.
Ed Miner writes that he has been busy for the last three years at the Orange County Community College in Middleton, N. Y., and that the family live in Goshen. Also that his hair is getting thin.
Bud Wesselmann writes from Cleveland he is still holding the fort as manager of the Cleveland Branch of New York Life, and that in addition to his son Glenn, who will graduate from Dartmouth in June, he has another son, Lee, who will graduate from high school in June, and expects to enter Dartmouth in the fall. Bud says that Cam Clokey is still with the Telephone Company in Cleveland, and is now assistant vice president. Cam's youngest son is a senior at Shaker High School, with Bud's son, and they both recently received scholarship keys. Lee Wesselmann is editor of the school yearbook, and Dick Clokey is business manager. Bud says that this is history repeating itself, as in their high school days, Bud was the editor and Cam the business manager of the school newspaper. Did history repeat itself on the matter of the scholarship keys, too, Bud? Bud also reports having seen Jim Chandler, who is real estate editor of the Cleveland Press, at a Dartmouth luncheon a week ago.
A letter from Nels O'Rourke brings us somewhat up to date on the members of the Class living in Florida. Jerry Allis is living in Eustis, and engaged in the insurance business there. Jerry's son is now married, and lives in San Antonio, Texas, and his daughter is attending Brenau College in Georgia. BertSnow is living in Tampa, where he and his wife operate a laundromat, and Al Chabot has recently moved to Vero Beach, activities unknown at this writing. Abe Cohen is in the real estate business in Miami. Nels is in the security business in Daytona Beach, and tells me that his son, who is at Dartmouth, is an active member of the boxing squad, and that his two younger children are still in high school. He would like to see any members of the Class who happen to get near Daytona Beach, and while it is a little late to take him up on this this year, you might file it for future reference.
Bill St. Amant, who is with Field and Stream in Chicago, says that he bumped into Natch Corrigan a short while ago at a Curtis Publishing Co. meeting. Natch is with Curtis, in Detroit. He also reports that he has seen Si Morand lately, and that he is hale and hearty. (Si, that is - Bill doesn't say anything about himself.)
Rog Salinger has been elected to the board of directors of the Newton, Mass., YMCA, and also reelected to the executive committee of the Boston Alumni Assn.
Ted Selig has moved to Irvington, N. Y., as director of engineering with the Boiler Division of the Burnham Corporation. Ted has three children: Jean, who graduated from Syracuse in January, and is married and living at Langley Air Force Base, where her husband is stationed; Ernest, who is a sophomore at Cornell; and Larry, who is a freshman at Dartmouth and a member of the band.
It seems that about half the Class must have been in Hanover during February — at any rate the following were at the Inn: the BillBrownings, the Ken Russells, the HawleyPattens, the Hal Koerners, the Win Rodormers, the Frank Strongs with daughter, SykesHardy and Charlie Bartlett.
A goodly number of the Class gathered at the Dartmouth Club on March 2, for the New York Class Dinner. The feature of the evening was a talk by George Colton, who came down from Hanover to tell the boys what was going on at the College. The Class movies were also shown, to the amusement and edification of those present, particularly those who had not seen them previously at reunions. In addition to the New Yorkers who were present, Les Battin made the trip from Boston and Bob Long came from Rochester. Sam Wormser was in charge of arrangements.
The news came in a little better this month, which I hope is a good sign for the future. Keep it coming. And don't forget that it's Alumni Fund time. Howie and his gang of Class Agents are counting on every one of you.
