King Cole is back in Washington where on April 11 he began his new assignment as informa- tion specialist with the Press Branch, News Division, of the Department of Defense In- formation Office. King started his government work in the Pentagon in 1942 and is happy to be "back home," having previously spent seven years in Washington and Arlington, Va.
Henry Holley, principal of the Monson (Mass.) High School, spoke before the Ramapogue Women's Club recently. Henry is past president of the Massachusetts Headmaster's Association, past president of the Hamden County Teacher's Association and is a very active member of the community. At a recent luncheon in New York, staged by the Dartmouth Club to welcome the new football coach, Bob Blackman and his staff, LouStone, Lou Munro, Ed Warnke, Lou Garrison and your Sec were among the large crowd present. The new coach made a fine impression, and Dartmouth football should get a much needed shot in the arm next fall.
Bob and Anne Lewis took off for an Eastervacation and, among other spots, visited SanJuan, Puerto Rico and St. Croix, in the-Virgin Islands; also St. Thomas, before headingback to the doubtful spring of the LebanonHanover area. Ken and Marge Huntingtonwere in Florida for a few weeks staying atKey Largo and Key West, and also spent sometime on the West Coast. Speaking of Floridaand indicating that '19ers really get around,the following came from Paul Clements ofthe Country Store, Sarasota, Fla., and Nantucket. Quoting Champ:
"This year I am going, to reverse the procedure and thank you for my birthday card before I get it. Don't think it bothers me to get it, because I don't care any more. I am old, so let's face it. I am only glad that there are some left to remember it. My last two attempts to contact you when I was going through N. Y. were unsuccessful and as I am going to be busy with my youngest son's wedding when I go up this spring, I am afraid I may miss you this time. Jim is marrying Carol Lightfoot, from Larchmont, May, 21 and we are leaving for Nantucket the next day. Life goes on pleasantly and profitably for us here and my list of '19ers and Dartmouth friends grows each year, I mean the ones that have stopped by to see me. Cbet Gale and Emily were the last to come through. He said it was his youngest son he had with him, but I think it was a body guard. Gosh, he's big!
"Bill Cunningham took time off from watching for Ted Williams and spent an afternoon with me last week. Doris didn't come down with him this time. He made one public appearance at the Hammond organ for the benefit of the Red Cross. He has improved some since he played at Phil's. Batch and Harriet came by last month and Bunny andMad Collins and Adelaide and I had a great gab fest over cocktails at Mullet Over on OKay Bayou, our house. Earlier in the winter Pug Henderson and his family stopped in; they were over from the East Coast seeing how the other half of Florida lives. Among others I have seen recently are Guyand Muriel Cogswell, Jerry and Frances Stone '20, Jim and Mary Davis, Spider and Bea Martin,Bobby Bard, and Dick Werfelman. I hear occa- sionally from Norm Sterling, but Jacksonville is a long haul from here."
Cliff Hayes, V.P. of Pacific Mills and residing in Lyman, S. C., has recently been elected a member of the executive committee of the American Cotton Manufacturer's Institute. Back to Massachusetts, Ray Hinds of Milton, notes:
"Thanks for the thoughtful birthday greetings - the card is very clever (with a bow to LouGarrison). Harriette and I spent the Christmas holidays in Florida with the Goldieres. They are going to Europe in June for the summer. Goldy plans to do some studying in France. Our son, Ray Jr. '52, who, I think you met at reunions, was married last June to Jo Anne Towle of Wellesley. He completed his tour with the Air Force in January and is now with the General Fireproofing Metal Furniture Co. in Boston."
Bri Greeley, one of New Rochelle's loyal classmates, writes:
"Many thanks for the class birthday greetings. Meant to drop you a line before this but you know how time flies. I suppose that at 59 I do not feel nearly as old as I thought 59 would be when I was 25. In case you are looking for family news (See's note - he is always looking for family news) Sally, our older daughter is a freshman at Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pa. Louise, the younger, enters senior high school next year. Sorry, Adele and I cannot keep up with the 'younger' class members such as Raible, et al."
Bill Hoard, publisher of Hoard's Dairyman, Fort Atkinson, Wis., in a brief note to FredDaley, our sterling Class Agent, states that he and Mrs. Hoard are flying to Lisbon April 10, apparently for a tour of the Continent, and also that the Alan Jones are leaving for Spain, Africa and England at about the same time. Sherm Green, 'who has spent most of his life in the State Department, says in a letter to Nick Sandoe Jr., enclosing his check for the 1955 Alumni Fund (have you sent in yours yet?) that:
"In upcoming years, I hope I shall be reachable by Alumni Fund' Class Agent, but there may be some difficulty since I am retiring from Government service at the end of April and expect to devote at least fifty per cent of the next few years to travel in various foreign countries, revisiting posts where I have served. When not on the move, our primary base will be a home in Acapulco, Mexico, which we purchased last year while on a vacation visit."
Dave has latterly been in the American Embassy in Havana, Cuba. Charles Mills of Cleveland notes:
"It is always pleasant to be remembered by the class greetings. There is no special news at this time. I am finishing my thirtieth year in the same Cleveland high school. Mrs. Mills (Cornell 25) and I continue to spend our summer vacations traveling, - most of the years to southern Texas where our daughter lives. Sherman Mills 57, our son, is trying to make up his mind about his major and is active in his fraternity."
Also from Cleveland comes a good letter from Norm Jeavons, expressing nice thoughts about the Class and the College. Incidentally, Norm had three sons graduate from Dartmouth, - is there anyone in the class that can beat this?
"It's just a shame there are so many rivers and mountains between us. Incidentally you re the bum. We seem to cross them fearlessly every year but you're the fraidy cat. You never come out this way. I didn't thank you for the birthday card because you might have published it and I cant quite trust my spelling or grammar. Anyway it s a wonderful idea and just as friendly and wonderful as our class. The older I get the surer I am we went to the right college and we couldn't have picked a more loyal class. Gawd knows I d never qualify if I tried to get into Dartmouth today, we didn't do anything this winter. Just stayed home and enjoyed our own fireside. It really was quite nice and now that summer is just around the corner, we're rearing to get back to our mountains in old Virginia. I think we'll be able to get down there about the Ist of June for the summer.
Last call for the 1955 Alumni Fund - there is little that your Sec can add to the efforts of Fred Daley and his agents who have told you the story about the needs of the College. The most important thing is to send in something and for those of you who can afford to do so, to put Dartmouth high on your list of worthy,realistic giving. So long until October.
Secretary, 1273 North Avenue, New Rochelle, N. Y.
Class Agent, Shelton, Conn.
