1938

Following a suggestion made by the Alumni Council, it has been decided, with the connivance of Shylock Harvey, to send ALUMNI MAGAZINE subscriptions to the widows of members of the Class who have passed on. There has been no opportunity to consult general Class opinion on the matter, but a very brief discussion of the project at a New York dinner brought nothing but favorable reactions. None of us can think of any possible objection to the idea, especially since Brother Harvey feels he can shell out the necessary money without going completely broke.

Also of general interest, Marty King has agreed to take on the arduous duties of editor of the Pace Setter and has already started grinding out the grist. Bill Ganter, who had very generously agreed to assume the burden last June, has found the time just not available to him and was gracious enough so to notify me a week ago. Bill has been the most faithful volunteer news-gatherer in the Class, and it is with real regret that I had to accept his resignation. Bill will continue to keep tabs on the Boston contingent for me, while Marty coordinates in New York with Johnny Scotford.

"This is to inform you that I am back in the States again after a three-month sojourn in Spain. For a change I am back working for Metcalf & Eddy (Engineers) instead of one of their joint ventures." So writes Charles Y.Hitchcock, and the mystery of the Spanish Christmas card with the New York postmark is solved at last. "Jean and I had supper with Frank Brett the other night, so, though Boston may change, Brett doesn't."

The ex-Worcester Reillys crash through with two bits of news. The arrival of John Francis Reilly in mid-February was just in time for the removal of Clan Reilly to the Chicago area, - 208 Ravine Road, Hinsdale, 111. The change in venue was already men- tioned in earlier notes and is now effective as of April 1.

The gentleman karmer of Milford, N. H., yclept kas been on tke jump all over the country helping to coordinate a new advertising campaign by tbe wax papel' industry; he writes krom (Cincinnati at the moment. 'The Lyle estate is bopping witk continuous improvements wonder if the pine-panelling is installed yet!), and the menage now includes a korse. Lill and vetty have recently been to Stowe on a skiing expedition and are wildly enthusiastic about the improvements tkere since our time. Bill reports vacationing in Nassau.

From the new England Retail Register comes a long feature article about reineman Brothers "On the Square" in Rochester, N. H., which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year under the guidance of genial 1938 Bob Feineman. Bob joined the store alter graduation in a family partnership, thus making three generations of the same family. Robert Jr., 3½, is currently in training to become the fourth generation in tke business.

The Rochester Courier recently saluted the store, citing it as a member of the community noted for undeviating standards of quality and honesty.

From Winston-Salem in the Deep South comes the advance publicity for a concert at which Clem Sandresky was piano soloist with the Winston-Salem Symphony Orchestra. Sandresky, who is dean of music at Salem College, performed Mozart's Concerto No. 23 in A, major. This concert was Sandresky's first with this orchestra; he has previously performed with the Brevard Festival Orchestra and the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra.

Johnny Scotford had lunch with Ray Ammarell recently and reports, "Ray has been shifted from assistant business manager of Time to full business manager of the new weekly sports magazine being carried in the Timelife womb just now. It has not been officially named yet but is known in local advertising circles as Muscles. It is due to be born in August."

Scotty continues that Bill Guyther, prominent New York artist, publisher, etc., is the father of Laura Guyther, born March 14.

Terry Hollern checks in via an address change as a salesman for Powell River Sales Corp. in Los Angeles. Since his last address was in Chicago, this must mean a considerable change in residence; it isn't just overnight. Bob Coffin, who went on from Dartmouth to UVM for a BS in agriculture is now working on his Ph.D. at Cornell while teaching and working with the Extension Department at the same time.

While on a hurried visit to Hanover during the late spring recess, I checked in with the Alumni Fund Office very briefly. Nick Sandoe was greatly enthusiastic about the progress 1938 was making in getting ready for the Big Bite. Scotty has been going like mad grinding out the publicity, instructions to Assistant Agents, and all the other details of the very complicated and important job of getting the Class over the top. No amount of organization, however, can do the job of itself; it's going to help a lot if you send along your check as soon as possible. There will be enough information coming your way as to Dartmouth's need for your continued support. If you think for only a few minutes of the fundamental importance of education for the future of America (if only to have enough sensible people instead of McCarthys) and of Dartmouth's traditional place in American education and opportunity for future service, you will place the Alumni Fund ahead of all sorts of other bites you may be getting for worthy but fundamentally less important causes. If there is one obvious way in which you can help to foster the things you stand for, that should come first on your list.

Noted in another section of this issue is the sad news of the confirmation by the Government that Brad Tyndall died in a Korean prison camp on January 16, 1951. Although many of us knew he had been reported as "missing" or "captured" for some time, we continued to hope even after the initial exchanges of prisoners. There certainly was no more well-liked and respected member of the Class, who gave his life as so many have done for our way of life, which is typified by Dartmouth.

Next month's notes will be the last before closing up for the summer months, so if you want to achieve deathless immortality in print before October, you'd better shoot along any news you may have of yourself before May 5, or it will go in the old shoe-box until the fall season begins.
