1941
They had the Winter Carnival in Hanover last month and it must have been a lot of fun. All the papers wrote it up and Dartmouth came out all right in the skiing. February was okay on Long Island, too, and we had plenty of snow - enough to get the skiers out to the State Park. The first week in February saw the temperature hit a new low and the stock market hit a new high. We all hope the reverse isn't true come July.
We had a 1941 Class Dinner at the Dartmouth Club of New York along the latter part of January* and the attendance was extremely low. Only eight showed up but we had a whale of an evening. Those who atended were Red Taft, Red O'Connor, GeorgeMiddendorf, Lance Ballon, Bob Austin, MonkLarson, George Tamlyn and yours truly. A committee was appointed to make preparations for a cocktail party at the Club sometime early in May. A definite date will be selected and I'll give it to those of you who inhabit these environs, in next month's notes.
George Tamlyn who works with the Equitable Life Assurance Co. in New York is the father of three girls, Cynthia, 9, Janet, 3, and Patricia, 9 months. His wife Faye completes the harem. Red Taft told about his trips around the country and his visits in Minneapolis with Bob Krieger and the boys, and in Cincinnati with Lew Johnstone. I sat there bitching about the problem of writing class notes about people who are spread from one end of the country to the other and never bother to send any communications to me concerning their whereabouts. Under the prodding of several Scotches the boys began to loosen up and I picked up some vital statistics.
It seems that Dr. George Simpson does a lot of his work at sea these days, having taken a post as ship's doctor for the United Fruit Company. Charlie Merritt, whose hometown is Lynn, Mass., is transplanted to Brooklyn and teaching at Brooklyn Poly - the same school that sent Dick Cords, Bob Darbee, and Bill Cashel to Hanover.
Incidentally, I had a letter from BillCashel's wife Marie, indicating that Bill had been transferred from Bell of Pennsylvania to A.T. & T. in New York and had moved uf to Roslyn, Long Island. Glad to have yoi back, Bill, and we hope you'll give the Lorn Island alumni group the pleasure of you) :ompany soon.
I spoke to Stew Steffey on the phone last month and he asked me to thank HughMurphy for the great assistance in helping cllect class dues. Seems that Stew is quite content with this year's results. The Class Treasurer passes along these choice bits: JakeSidney is now in Pittsburgh; Tim Takaro is Director of Surgery with the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church and is presently in India; Hank Palmer represents Kennametal in the Carolinas; OzzieMilts vacationed in the Poconos and is living in Chesterland, Ohio.
John Williams, with the Arabian-Amencar Oil Co. in Saudi Arabia, reports that he ex pects to come home sometime next winter Let's hope he gets home in September in time to see the Dodgers win the World Series What? Who said that?
NEWS DEPARTMENT: The clipping: gleaned from the newspapers all over the country carry several items worthy of men tion, so I will begin at the top of the pile ant go through in no particular order. First, the Northern Trust Company of Chicago has announced the election of Stacy H. Hill of Lake Bluff, as asst. cashier in the Banking Department. Hill joined the staff of the Northern Trust in 1952 and becomes a member of Banking Department Division "D," which handles' the Bank's relations with brokerage firms. He previously served in the Investment Research, Trust Investment, and Savings Divisions of the Bank.
From the Detroit News comes an article about the election of Johnny Bowers as a vice president of Brooke, Smith, French & Dorrance, advertising agency. John owes it all to his undergraduate experience as business manager of Dartmouth Pictorial.
Another adman in the news is Lee Barrett. The New England Mutual Life Insurance Company announced the appointment of Lee Barrett as assistant director of advertising. We've never reported on Lee's doings in these notes, so a brief recap might be in order. After graduating in 1941, he entered the Marine Corps and saw service in the South Pacific. He was wounded in action and retired in 1946 as a major. After experience as a newspaper reporter and feature writer in Portland and Augusta, Maine, he joined the advertising department of American Optical Company as a copywriter. He was manager of advertising of Rodney Hunt Machine Co., Orange, Mass., before joining New England Mutual's advertising department in 1952.
From the San Francisco Chronicle come this Big Story. John S. Tate has been appointed as assistant treasurer of Standard Oil Co. of California. Tate joined Standard Oil in 1947, after obtaining a Master's degree in business administration at Stanford.
The engagement of Lucille A. Topkis of New York City to Art Samson has been announced. The young lady directs the guide raining program of the Visitors Services at the United Nations and is an alumna of the Women's College of the University of Pennsylvania. Art is a partner in the firm of Sam son, Abbott, and Frank, cotton converters And another bachelor bites the dust.
That about winds it up for another month We'll be back next month with our annual major league baseball selection issue. Bet you can't wait. Malenkov resigned but not me - I'm it until June 1956.
