1933
February, the shortest month in the year! And, who knows? These notes may turn out to match the month - windy, cold and short. The outdoorsmen should be happy, though. While ice conditions are probable at Baffin Bay, a fine talc over hardpan is reported at Eagle Pass, and we notice barrel staves being vigorously creosoted next door for the soft run through Toddlers' Notch down to Delaware Park Lake. Slalom and the Seven Vales opens at the local opery house next week. Speaking of sports, here's news of some sports we have known:
Jack Manchester has been named a director of the Dartmouth National Bank and JohnMeek has been elected chairman of the board. Although Halsey C. Edgerton, who knew us and our financial status when, is retiring as president of the bank and will remain as a director, it looks as though '33 might be able to float a small loan if our Memorial Fund should slow down from its present exhilarating pace. On second thought though, let's come up with our own jack rather than putting our Jacks on the spot. It's an easy deal if every man-jack of us does his part. Don't ferget!
Frederick L. Jackson, sales manager of the Grinnell Co., was making his first bid for public office as a member of the city school committee of Greenwood, R. I., in the November elections. We're still waiting to hear how you made out, Fred.
Jack, or Johnny, as he used to be known, Donovan, the genial principal of Concord (Mass.) High School, showed the proper spirit recently when he and his football coach took three of his senior gridders and one junior footballer to Hanover for a weekend to look over the College. Concord should have a fine brawny and brainy delegation next year.
You probably read in the MAGAZINE of the appointment as Director of Development at Dartmouth College of J. (which we assume stands for Jack) Ross Gamble. Cheers for the appointment of a good man for a tough job, Ross. Your adoptive class stands behind you.
Cliff Johnson (or is it Jackson?) put our name on the mailing list for Johnson's Bestovall News (H. A. Johnson Co.) which is published once a month. If you are in the bakery, soda fountain or retail food business, you ought to drop Cliff a line and get the News. We enjoy it even though we aren't in the business, and particularly a column written by Cliff's dad who combines wisdom and humor and a zest for life into a delightful monthly cake icing.
The public prints bring us news of other sports. The Vineyard Gazette of Edgartown, Mass., announced the approaching program of the Carolers, that fine group of vocalists whom we have reported before and with whom Leo Bernache is one of the tenors. The Valley News and the Springfield Republican report that Rotary Clubs are still securing good speakers, since it appears from the former that Theriault spoke to the White River club on new teaching methods involving student participation, and the latter told of Rideout's talk to the Springfield club as previously reported here. The Wellesley Townsman reports (courtesy of Dick Morton '36) that Byron McCoy is one of the top-notchers in the profession to be selected by the Engineers Joint Council for inclusion in the 1954 edition of Who's Who in Engineering. This is a real honor, and the Class is proud of you, Byron.
In catching up with our address changes for the traveling sports, we have some that are not as fresh as they might be. If any of these have changed since they first became effective, please drop a line to your reporter who will be glad to rectify the error: Bob Niebling, Mellon National Bank & Trust Co., Pittsburgh 30 (Incidentally, we asked last spring about Bob's new job and had a letter from one of our mutual friends in '33 giving details; the letter disappeared during the summer, but if we can find it among the kids' tents and sleeping bags, we'll pass the details on to you.); Jim Doherty, 1893 Greystone Road, N.W., Atlanta, Ga.; Dr. Alan A. Jaques, 165 N. Village Ave., Rockville Center, N. Y.; Henry H. Hixon Jr., importing coffee at 1218 N. Halsted St., Chicago, living at 810 Kimball Road, Highland Park, Ill.; Parmer B.

This finishes February and your reporter's bag of tricks. If you would avoid a dull dissertation on detrimentalism for March, be a sport and write in some sporting news for the column. Vaya con Dios!
