1942

These parts are still echoing with "zoom, zooms," "Wah-hoo-wahs," and female squeals of delight as the aftermath of last month's visit of the Glee Club. The boys, under the able direction of Paul Zeller, did their usual excellent job. The overflow crowd in the Cranbrook School Auditorium, Bloomfield Hills, Mich., thundered their appreciation, keeping the group overtime, demanding more encores! If their local showing was typical of the whole fifteen-city tour, the trip must have been an overwhelming success.

When Paul Zeller learned that the Michigan concert exclusively was to be plugged by Ed Sullivan on his "Toast of the Town" TV show, he was a little concerned because the other fourteen cities were being neglected. Behind the scenes we see the fine hand of JackScolaro, who headed up the publicity for this extravaganza for the Dartmouth Club of Detroit. As those of you know who saw the CBS-TV show featuring the Glee Club, Sullivan even said he planned to be in Detroit himself for the concert. Well, I didn't see him, but I guess maybe he sold a few tickets for us anyhow.

The new president of the Dartmouth Club of Detroit, none other than big Phil Moon, also served as chairman of the dance arrangements. This pleasant interlude followed the Glee Club concert and took place at Oakland Hills Country Club. Phil is an old Tuck School man, veteran of the Navy Supply Corps, and now a pillar of the National Bank of Detroit. There was considerable talk that it was this background and training that enabled him to arrange for cokes to be sold at the dance at the new low, low price of only 85¢ a glass (plus tax). In fact I think Phil also put in some time at the Harvard Business School and that undoubtedly helped to make the above coup possible. (Just for the record it should be stated that we are in no position to render an opinion on the quality of the aforementioned beverage based on personal contact.)

It is doubtful whether Oakland Hills had ever before experienced anything quite like it. Bill Mitchel was last seen roaring down the thirteenth fairway in his Thunderbird. Bud Maynard, through some careful research among the undergraduates in the bar, was able to determine that Dartmouth football next fall under the new coaching staff is going to show us something new and revolutionary. They may not win many, but there's been an awful lot of character built in the past few years.

On the Island of Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands, Ford C off man is the pastor of the Christian Union Church in Lehui. He is planning to come back to the States sometime this summer, presumably to observe how we poor oafs are knocking ourselves out pursuing the elusive buck.

Henri Bohle gave us a capsule account of a 10,000-mile combination business and pleasure trip which he and his family staged last summer. He packed wife, Jo Anne, and child, 5-year-old Wendy, into their small English car and set off with a trailer tagging along behind. This touring about the U. S. sounds like all pleasure to me, despite a blowout at 80 mph. in Arizona. Where is this business we speak of, Henri? George and Lady Liskow hosted the Bohles in Louisiana where George bemoans being the only Dartmouth about. It seems that there has been some misunderstanding in the past about the age of the Liskow progeny. Just for the record Miss Liskow is only about 2. Whatever you say, George.

One of the better traveled members of the class was in Detroit not long ago. Bill Harris is back in the U. S., at least temporarily, after a long tour of duty with the State Department in Europe. Currently engaged in the lumber business, he is undecided about a possible return to a diplomatic career in the future. Bill reported seeing prominent New York attorney, East Birkett, in New York. East can't seem to get himself elected on the Democratic ticket in Great Neck, N. Y„ but he has been named chairman of the law and issues committee of the Great Neck Democratic Club. He's either in the wrong party or the wrong place, seems like.

The Norton Company has announced that Lariy Holfelder has been assigned the Central Indiana territory as an abrasives engineer in their abrasives division. After graduating from Dartmouth he did postgraduate work in the Graduate School of Education at Boston University. He then put in four years in the Army. Since returning from service Larry had been with General Motors and the Equitable Life Assurance Society before joining Norton in 1953 as a sales trainee.

Harry Hanna has been named public office manager in New Haven, Conn., for the Southern New England Telephone Company.

Here are a few random notes: Dick Remsen is a textile representative for Cone Mills in Philadelphia. Bax Lanius is attached to the American Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden. Andy Wood is planning to be married and that's more than a random note. His engagement to Miss Anne Coverly Bodkin of Cambridge, Mass., has been announced by her mother, Mrs. Robert Alexander Bodkin. Miss Bodkin is a graduate of Mount Holyoke College and the management training program of Radcliffe College. Andy graduated from Dartmouth and Yale Law School. The wedding is planned for June.

Have you sent in your contribution to the Alumni Fund? Last year over 18,000 individlals contributed to Dartmouth's 40th annual Alumni Fund. The money is being used throughout all areas of College activity. It is applied where it is most needed in the judgment of the Trustees. It pays a share of the scholarship expense, thus helping to insure a top-flight student body. It pays part of the faculty salary expense and enables Dartmouth to'keep its first-rate teaching faculty. It helps to buy books for the library, to maintain the athletic program, and to pay heat and light bills. There is no area of Dartmouth that is not benefited, at least indirectly, by the Alumni Fund.

Remember every Dartmouth alumnus received in effect at least a 50% grant of financial aid as a student. Tuition covered half the cost; the balance was provided by the gifts of those who went before.
