1941
The winter is almost over now, with just a few weeks to go. It seemed to fly by this year. One reason was the Christmas card I received from Linda and Les Davis. It carried a picture taken at their Cimarron, New Mexico, ranch of the proud parents and young Warren Davis perched atop a beautiful horse. This is probably but one of many horses at the Davis ranch. There seemed to be plenty of sunshine and just looking at that happy group gave me a terrible urge to drop everything and take a vacation in New Mexico (or even Arizona in spite of the Giants). I'm sending the photo along to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE editor with the hope that he will be able to reproduce it for all to see. Les saw Sandy Courter and family last year when the good doctor stopped by at the Davis ranch for a few days. He also gets to see Mort McGinley occasionally. Mort, as reported in these notes during last October, is in Colorado Springs with the law firm of Higby & Renwick.
H. Thurston Hillard, who during our days on the Hanover Plain was known only as "Butch," is a habitant of these parts of Long Island, as is William Steel, prominent insurance agent. Both have apparently heard of the rising costs of tuition, rooms, food, spending allowances, etc., at Dartmouth for both are currently engaged in raising families entirely of the female sex. Both Mrs. Steel and Mrs. Hillard were mothers for the third time last December. Both had girls for the third time. Said Butch: "That Thurston in my name doesn't mean I'm a magician." Said Steel: "I'm going to see if there's any insurance which pays off for four-of-a-kind." The twist to this story will come if Dartmouth goes coed ill time to nail them for three tuitions each.
John Beaumont, for the past three years a resident of Seaford, Long Island, N. Y., first became interested in the theater while at Hanover. As a member of the Dartmouth Players, John was in charge of the lighting for the many splendid shows which that group put on in Hanover. Following his service during the war, John went to the Yale Drama School to build a background for a career in the theater. Although there was a big demand in TV for lighting men when John left Yale, he somehow drifted away from the theater and into an allied field - tape recording. John's company at 730 Fifth Ave., New York, is known as A-V Tape Libraries. This company has been a pioneer in the field of producing and selling pre-recorded tape. In a field that is just becoming well-known, A-V Tape Libraries has made great progress. As production manager of the company, John guarantees that reproduction is just as good as you get on long-playing records without the distortion that is always found in the middle of any record. Sounds like a good way to get information for my class notes. Maybe I ought to get a tape recorder and send blank tapes around the country to you characters and let you send me back the news on the tape. Anyway, tape recordings will soon take their place alongside of the other famous American tapes, namely, Scotch and ticker.
One of the pleasant husband-wife teams in our class is the combination of Julia and AllenKeniston who are both M.D.s and practice together. Bob Griffeth and his wife Punkin were out on Long Island recently and Bob visited his old roommate Monk Larson. Monk is associated with the Martin E. Segal Co. in New York City, engaged in the preparation of welfare and pension programs. Griff is the comptroller of Tecon Corporation which is engaged in various kinds of heavy construction.
Seen about town in New York: Oscar Israel having lunch at the Hotel Statler; Dan Libby spotted in the Empire State Building where he has his headquarters - Dan sells textiles and commutes to the city from out in New Jersey; Hal Newell in from Cleveland on business.
New York newspapers carried a story about Chuck Bolte, who for twelve years has donated a pint of blood on Armistice Day, because eight blood transfusions saved his life in North Africa. A large group of the American Veterans' Committee joined him at the Red Cross to make blood donations.
Pete Scott is now in Washington, D. C., with the C&P Telephone Company. Capt. DickJachens still has a San Francisco APO address. Sam Pratt is now an assistant professor at Ohio Wesleyan University. Boots Nanos is assistant branch sales manager with Remington Rand out in Cincinnati. Jack Larigan has moved to the southland and is located in Birmingham, Ala., as Southwest district manager of the St. Regis Paper Company. Slightly more than a stone's throw from Great Neck, Jack. Dr. George Clabaugh is with the Wesley Hospital in Chicago, Ill. Downey Gray is down in old Kentucky with the General Box Company. What happened to Kentucky against Georgia Tech?
