1934

We just received the first issue of The Bulletin from the College and the tang of autumn is in the Norwich hills and footballs fill the air on Memorial Field.

In Wall Street there was a luncheon sponsored by the Dartmouth Downtown Diners featuring remarks by Carl Ray '37 on Dartmouth football prospects. The Dartmouth Downtown Diners expect to meet monthly and at the first luncheon there were more than fifty men, including Les Reeve, JeffJackson and your Secretary. We have arranged to have notices of these meetings sent to all of the men in the Wall Street area, including David Callaway; Richard Gruen; WilliamHartman; Carl Hess; Jeff Jackson; HenryNecarsulmer; George Copp; Al Marks; RoaldMorton; Oscar Reubhausen; Benjamin Rippe;Les Reeve; Arthur Willis; Robert Ford; Walter Blood; Charles Goodfellow and WilfredMaynard. If anyone else would like to receive announcements, please contact me. These meetings will not take the place of the evening dinners which in the past have been held at the Dartmouth Club. Only three dinners are planned for the 1955-56 season.

Speaking of football, if anyone expects to go to Hanover for the Harvard game or for any subsequent weekend, we are advised hotel accommodations are very tight. It was GailRaphael's suggestion that we write to Treasurer Bill Wilson for suggestions as to possible places to stay near Hanover. Bill Wilson wrote us a lengthy letter stating that if the Hanover Inn had no space, some of the better inns and motels in the area are: the new Chieftain Motel on the Lyme Road and the Sunset Motel on the West Lebanon Road. In Norwich there is the Norwich Inn and some adequate looking cabins run by Louis Lackey. In Lyme there is the Lyme Inn which is excellent. In other places close to Hanover there is the Orford Inn at Orford, Lake Morey Inn at Fairlee and the Woodstock Inn at Woodstock. Bill Wilson is particularly enthusiastic about Dexter's at Sunapee, N. H., especially for skiing. It is a little far from Hanover but the facilities are wonderful, the atmosphere exceptionally nice, and it is run by Dexter Richards '42.

While we are on the subject of football, we received a letter from the old captain, which reads in part:

"As a matter of fact I thought it would be possible for me to get back East for reunion, but the dates were at an inconvenient time and I had to go on the road after Father's Day. Am sorry now that I didn't attend because it certainly sounds as if it was a grand get-together. ... Being so far away it is easy to lose touch and I only get East once a year. Though I wasn't present in body, the ol' Glazer spirit was there. ... I saw Ray Hulsart on my last trip. Asked about you and Jerry Danzig but both of you were out of the city. ... I'm still traveling in Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi for Superba Ties and making an honest living. It's a tough grind traveling, but thus far I haven't run into anything easy. I am sure you fellows will be seeing the Big Green in action soon. Feel certain that the new coach will do a good job but we will have to give him a year or two to get established. It is rough to get any Southern boy to Dartmouth. These Southern colleges give them everything but the kitchen sink. Phil Glazer."

Any television viewers not exclusively interested in the "564,000 Question" would haveseen Peanuts Davies when the Davis Cupmatches and the Nationals were played atForest Hills. He was the fellow you saw onyour screen with his hand on the net-cord.Peanut's oldest son Terry is a freshman atDartmouth this year, and last June when hewas graduated from Riverdale Country DaySchool, he received the award for the Outstanding boy in his class.

From graduating sons to sons just making their appearance in this world, congratulations to Marty and Joy Dwyer. The announcement of the birth of their fourth child, Dennis McDonald Dwyer, appeared in the HeraldTribune on September 19, ten days after the arrival of the youngster.

Before we leave the subject of football, it is to be noted that the Dartmouth team has already suffered several blows from injuries not incurred on the football field. One of them was to halfback Tony Bruscino, who broke a wrist eluding a bull in a Madrid bullfight ring and will be out for the rest of the season. This injury seems a far cry from those incurred in our days in "bull sessions."

The reason Stan Silverman was unable to attend reunion was due to the fact that on June 15 he married Peggy Whellan and moved to Hollywood immediately. His address there is 1324 Miller Drive, Los Angeles 46, Calif. He is working for Mark Stevens on a television series known as "Big Town." Stan is the editor and assistant to the producer as well as dialogue director and as time schedules are not permitted to interfere with either honeymoons or reunions, Stan had to leave immediately for the Coast.

Another Easterner who has gone West is Mike Menchel. When John Wanamaker closed in New York, Mike moved to the Coast where he is an executive of the Broadway Department Stores in Los Angeles. He writes as follows:

. Sunny California exceeds my fondest expectations and the kids and Mary sure love it as do I. what could be better than living just across the street from the golf course? I have settled into my work and all goes smoothly. I couldn't be happier or have a more promising setup."

Haven't brought you up to date on my erstwhile roommate, Jerry Danzig, who, after many years at CBS, now is working for NBC as "director of Program Planning and Development for NBC Owned Stations and Spot Sales." The words in quotes are part of Jerry's title which he informs me is the longest one at NBC or in existence anywhere.

During the summer Bill Embry came to New York on business and brought his family with him. Tried to arrange a luncheon for him but only Rollie Morton was able to make it on such short notice. However, Bill did lunch the next day with Marty Dwyer and Bill Scherman. Among others whom he tried to corral unsuccessfully were Carl Hess who was in Europe and Dave Callaway who was swamped at First of Michigan with a new bond issue. Ray Hulsart accepted but when we left the Dartmouth Club to go to "Tony's Wife," Ray couldn't follow the trail and missed a good luncheon at "Gilmore's." Bill Embry is most enthusiastic about his new company as well as his work in higher education. He has gained weight since college but tells me that his oldest son is taller and bigger than he is. Bill diets from time to time and only had a salad for luncheon, but he topped it off with chocolate cake and Rollie Morton's portion of chocolate ice cream.

Had lunch one day recently with Art Willis in the Federal Reserve Bank building. In addition to supplying funds to some of us, the Federal Reserve Bank serves a very good meal. Art is the secretary of the bank in New York and reports hearing from his roommate Thor Fraser. Art and family spend part of their summers at Martha's Vineyard.

Among others enjoying vacations in Hanover were Bob Engelman, who left his room at Richardson after reunion to spend two extra days at the Hanover Inn. Later in June names seen on the Inn blotter were Perry S.Woodbury and Jim Prescott as well as JohnnyLasher and wife, Henry Hazen and wife, and Henry Brown.

As a new college year rolls around we have an announcement that Seymour B. Dunn has resigned from the faculty of Hobart College as dean to become the academic dean at Gettysburg College. The Alumni News of Hobart College regrets his departure, but in accepting the appointment at Gettysburg, Sey "enters a field of wider responsibility than that with which he was charged at Hobart. His new work will include the field of dean of students with two full-time assistants, a dean of men and a dean of women, responsibility for student counseling with a full-time director of counseling as an assistant, and the responsibility of dean of the faculty." In addition to his duties at Hobart, Sey found time to be active in many community enterprises, as president of Kiwanis, a member of the University Club and a director of the Red Cross and Y.M.C.A.

If any of you see me at the Harvard, Yaleor Princeton games herding my youngsters,please stop and lend a helping hand and giveme news about yourselves and families.
