1930

1930 "Man of the Month" is Treasurer Charlie Raymond who, on February 3, was elected treasurer of B. I. F. Industries, Inc., located in Providence, R. I. The same day, Charlie was also elected treasurer of B. I. F. Industries' several subsidiaries, which are: Builders Iron Foundry, Builders-Providence, Inc.; Omega Machine Co.; and Proportioneers, Inc. Prior to this latest promotion Charlie had been assistant treasurer of B. I. F. Industries, Inc., which is a well-known and most substantial concern in the Providence area. Prior to joining B. I. F. Industries in 1947, Charlie was in the statistical and accounting department of the New England Telephone and Telegraph Co. from 1931 to 1944, and was assistant to the plant manager of Lawson Products, Inc., in Pawtucket, R. I., from 1944 to 1947. Everyone in the Class will agree that this promotion could not have happened to a finer fellow.

Also receiving headlines was Dick Bowlen, who was elected a director of Bryant Chucking Grinder Co.. of Springfield, Vt. at the annual meeting of the stockholders of that wellknown machine tool company which was held in mid-February. Dick is controller of Bryant's, as well as being treasurer of that company's subsidiary, E. G. Staude Manufacturing Co., Inc., which is located in St. Paul, Minn., and which is engaged in the packaging machinery business.

Word has reached us that Bob Kimball is now headmaster of St. Stephen's School in Austin, Texas. Bob went to St. Stephen's about two or three years ago, at the time this new school was first opened, as assistant headmaster Ellie Gilbert writes that he is now program director and musical commentator for station KTRH-FM, in Houston, Texas, broadcasting classical music and opera.. .. George "Heine" Garrett now appears with the title of president of Carbide Chemicals Sales Co., of 40 St. Claire Ave., East, Toronto. His new residence address is 45 Wimpole Drive, Willowdale, Ontario. Unfortunately we have no more details to report concerning this recent move of Heine's In early February the Honolulu newspapers carried pictures of NBC President Pat Weaver, and his attractive wife being greeted in typical Hawaiian fashion (bedecked with leis) by officials of the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce at a meeting of which Pat gave a talk on future developments in television and radio.... On January 30 Dr. B. Read "Heinie" Lewin of Claremont, N. H., was named by Governor Gregg to the New Hampshire State Board of Health.

In mid-February the McFarland family took off for a week's stay at Bob Keene's lodge in Etna. The youngsters skied while we "oldsters" enjoyed all that there is to be enjoyed at any season of the year at "the Keenes'" which is hospitality at its best. About the third day we were up there, the telephone rang and it was none other than Lee Chilcote, who was spending a few days in Hanover in advance of Freshman Fathers weekend. Your secretary went into Hanover, of course, to visit with Lee and we decided that it was in order that we should have a reunion with all those in the neighboring Hanover area. Whereupon we contacted Charlie Widmayer and plans were made for a luncheon meeting at the Hanover Inn. As Lee and I were walking down Main Street of Hanover, whom should we see riding by but the Bud Frenches and their two boys, Wayne and David. In the meantime, Horace Allyn and his attractive 17-year-old daughter Jane had arrived at the Keenes' to spend the night during a trip through parts of New England while they were looking at schools for Jane. Of course, Al was agreeable to postponing the time of his departure so that he might join the rest of the 1930 group. A mere telephone call produced Dick Bowlen from Springfield, Vt. Al Dickerson returned to Hanover from a trip just in time to join the group. Drs. George Lord from Hanover and Bill Putnam from Lyme somehow arranged with their patients so that they also could be present. Eddie Jeremiah was leaving with his hockey team for the Army game, but arranged with the bus driver to delay the time of departure so that he would not miss any of the 1930 luncheon. The group of ten present had a grand miniature reunion, replete with a specially decorated cake bearing the inscription "Dartmouth-1930," which had been arranged for beforehand by Lee Chilcote. Unfortunately, at the zero hour, an electric motor at the Keene's failed to perform, which meant that Bob was unable to be present. That luncheon was a good time. I only wish more of you could have been there.

It is with the deepest regret that we report the death of Addison F. Rugg on February 11.
