1937

About the time you're reading this column, yours truly will be wandering around Hanover and environs with Fran Fenn, ArtRuggles and Rowley Bialla. The first weekend in May is a get-together of all Class Officers and always turns out to be a most delightful occasion as well as a stimulating one. Incidentally, just heard the other day that Fran Fenn has made the Million Dollar Round Table again for the seventh consecutive year. As noteworthy as his membership in the Round Table is the fact that none of the insurance policies which he has written have lapsed .

An announcement from Paul Olson indicated that we have good legal contacts in Brattleboro, Vt., as Paul has joined Osmer C.Fitts under the firm name of Fitts & Olson- a general practice of law which I understand covers a world of sin.

Next door in New Hampshire, classmates Cooper and Mclntyre are very much in print. Both, apparently with the help of unusually artistic and persevering wives (their rooms not the wives, were a shambles in '37) have had their homes written up in New HampshireProfiles as Home of the Month. Complete with pictures, they were a real treat to see and read about for an apartment dweller. Fortunately, our associate secretary, Bill Rotch, sent in the two issues of the magazine for us to read. Meantime, through another source, Bill shows up in the same publication as one of New Hampshire's outstanding editors. He is the sixth generation of his family to publish the Milford Cabinet and made the choice only after a variety of jobs and a tour of Navy duty aboard destroyers in the Atlantic and Pacific. In his own words: "It has never been easy for us to describe the feeling of satisfaction that we get from living in New Hampshire. Yet because that feeling is very real, it is a constant temptation to try."

Justin M. Smith has recently been appointed executive director of the Hitchcock Clinic at Hanover, assuming his new position April 15. After graduation, Jud joined the Putnam Woolen Division of Bachmann-Ukbridge Worsted Corp. in Putnam, Conn. In addition to being assistant manager of the firm, he has been prominent in civic activities as chairman of the Putnam Board of Education, Board of Finance, and the Housing Authority as well as a member of the Rotary Club. He has also been a member of the board of trustees of the Day Kimball Hospital since 1947 and chairman of that board since 1952.

Back to Vermont: it has been announced recently that Bancroft Dwinell is now production manager for all manufacturing operations of Rock of Ages in addition to such other varied operations of the company that president Robert S. Gillette may assign. Bandy is also president of the Kellogg-Hubbard Library in Montpelier, of which he has been a trustee since 1940. Coincidentally, Henry Whitaker is exhibiting a water color at the Wood Art Gallery of the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. This is one of 71 paintings which were on display for the entire month of February. Hank graduated from the Buffalo Art Institute and is the owner of the Monumental News Review in Barre, Vt.

Furman Stanley is a candidate for election to the Glen Rock, N. J., school board. He and Mary have three children and Furm is construction superintendent for the Hackensack district of the New Jersey Bell Telephone Co. Dick Lunsted is also a candidate for a school committee. He is a resident of Winchendon, Mass., and is presently associated with the Employers Group Insurance Co. in Boston.

Just heard that Don Pease has been appointed an assistant vice president of the Industrial Relations of the United States Steel Corp., where he will be responsible for general plans and special projects in industrial relations. He has been assistant to the vice president since 1946.

Floyd Hird has been elected a member of the advisory board of the Manufacturers Trust Co. for the Empire State office. He is president and secretary of Samuel Hird & Sons, Inc. of New York City.

Roy Hatch, now a brigadier general U.S.A.F., has just been stationed at Mitchel Field, L. I., where he is deputy commander of the Continental Air Command.

With any luck Bibs Bankart will be doing these notes next month to bring you up to date on Boston and a new slant on what's going on with '37.
