Up here in Vermont, summer is now long departed. The leaves turned, faded and dropped. The last of the motorists drove south and Saturday morning in Hanover before the Harvard game we had the first few flakes of snow. Since then it has snowed several times and winter is fast closing' in on the North Country. This is the season when we become very conscious of elevation. In the valley where we live there has been no lasting snow, but the youngsters coming to school from the tops of the surrounding hills are already sliding.
Despite this kind of weather, however, thousands came to Hanover to the Harvard game and never had we had such a large group of Thirty men and their families. In the Coffee Shop at noon we ran into Ote and EleanorHumphrey, together with their two girls Jane and Carolyn, up from Simsbury, Conn., for the game. In the Inn lobby was Al Masters, and from a distance we saw Walt Birnie, his wife and son. Hank Newell drove up from Concord. As is their usual custom, Charlieand Eleanor Raymond and Alex and CarolineMcFarland stayed with the Bowlens for the weekend. Stepping out on the Main Street, we all ran into Les Godwin with his wife and daughter Jane. While we missed seeing him, someone said Lee Chilcote was in town visiting his boy, as were also Boof and Billy Perkins and the Fred Scribners. Dick Barnard was present with his nephew and the Tom Dunningtons followed their usual practice of being present at all of the Hanover games. In the '30 delegation at the game was Ray Olsen and the Horace Allyns, accompanied by those perennial weekenders, the Herb Chases. Present also were the John Frenches, the BillStearns and Dud Day. It was also reported that Ted Wolfe and Sam Butler were both in Hanover for the game, although I did not see either of them.
We were glad to receive from Fred Chase an announcement of the birth of a daughter in the Chase family, born September 3, and as Fred adds, "Sound of wind and also of limb, born here in Dunedin."
We were also much pleased at the thoughtfulness of Jean Newberry Carnell when she wrote,
"I thought it might be newsworthy to announce the arrival of Elizabeth Bradley Hlavacek, Brad's and my granddaughter - daughter of Lynda Carnell Hlavacek and of her husband Lawrence."
Congratulations this month to Bob Glasgow upon his appointment as vice president of the Continental Casualty Company in Chicago. Bob joined the Company in 1930 and has progressed through the organization at a steady rate, having last been executive assistant vice president.
In this season of football games it would be a full-time task for your Secretary to be present each weekend, but in lieu of this CharlieRaymond was good enough to write of the Brown game in Providence, saying, "The following were on deck and maybe more: Hoxsie, Jordan, Latham, Birnie, Chase, Coppock, Bud French, Sam Butler, Lillard, Godwin, and McFarland. It was more pleasant than ever to meet them because in many cases there were offspring along whom we had met at reunion."
If you were present for the First Philadelphia Meeting of the National Industrial Conference Board, you must have heard Dr. J.Brooke Willis, Associate Professor of Banking at the Graduate School of Business, Columbia University, take the floor to discuss "Bank Loans in 1955; effect on 1956." Brooke is the latest of several '30 men to have talked at meetings of the Conference Board, the personnel division of which you all know is directed by Ave Rabue.
Sons and daughters continue to make much of the news for the Class. Latest is young Bob Keene who on October 13 took as his bride Miss Jean Elizabeth Millane of Westwood, Mass. The wedding took place in the Church of Christ in Hanover, and the couple will reside in Durham, N. H., where both are seniors at New Hampshire University. The bride is a member of Theta Upsilon Sorority and Mortar Board Honor Society and Bob is a member of Acacia Fraternity. All those back for reunion got to know Bob well, and will join in very best wishes for the couple.
Pete Hamm, after serving two years as the first managing director of the Interstate Commerce Commission, has resigned to return to his previous position as president of the Traffic Service Corporation, and publisher of Traffic World, Traffic World Daily and Traffic Bulletin.
The Yale game weekend brought forth a volume of interesting material, only a portion of which will we have room for in this issue. On Thursday night preceding the game a tremendously successful New York-New Jersey dinner was held at the Dartmouth Club. It was arranged for by Charlie McDonough who deserves a great deal of credit for getting out such a large crowd. CharlieRanch showed the Reunion movies, and RedGould had excellent colored slides of Reunion which he showed. A list of those attending which may have omitted a name or two includes:
Wallace Blakey, Vic Borella, Pete Callaway, Jim Dalglish, Dud Day, Lee Eisler, Bud French, Red Gould, Art Hayes, John C. Holme, Ken Johnes, Charlie McDonough, Alex McFarland, Jim Mitchell, Frank Rath, Charlie Rauch, Bill Reinhart, Rusty Morrill, Chuck Sherburne, Ed Schuster, Shelly Stark, Dick Tilt, Eugene Zagat, Rollie Booma, Cliff Vogt, Al Dickerson, John Tiedtke, Bob Keene, Harry Condon, Win Stone, Hank Embree, Art Behal, Horace Allyn and Ranny Hobbs.
On Friday before the game, the class Executive Committee met in New York, the first meeting of the newly constituted group. AlexMcFarland reporting on it says:
"Those who were in attendance were: Borella, Condon, Embree, Rich, Cliff Vogt, VanDerbeck, Watson, Schuster, Dunning, Bob Keene, Rollie Booma, Horn, Tiedtke, Win Stone, Kohn, Alcorn and Rauch. Milt Mclnnes was traveling over the Erie road with his Board of Directors and could not attend the meeting, but 'in between trains' ran over to Vic and Ceil Borella's wonderful cocktail party to say hello and have a quick drink with all of us."
Lest this last note seem to indicate that all was frivolity, let me hasten to add that the actions taken at the business meeting will take up a major portion of the January notes!
The Dartmouth-Harvard game in Hanover was the occasion for an extra reunion for Harvard '30, which had a reported 170 men and wives in town for the weekend. For the. class gathering at the Norwich farm of Gardner Lewis, Dartmouth '30 sent its greetings in the form of a large cheese and a carton of crackers. George Lord, who was our official emissary at the Harvard gathering, had a sign printed in green and crimson, reading "To Harvard '30 from Dartmouth '30 - The Cheese That Binds." The gesture made a big hit with the Harvardians and warm appreciation was expressed.
And just to complete the weather report with which we started, it's beginning to snow again.
