1935

Greetings, once again, from your somewhat rusty correspondent. For me, it was a pretty busy summer, with much travelling. Didn't realize fall was upon us until the insatiable maw of the Dartmouth presses started clamoring again for the printed word.

First, grateful thanks is due to all who helped with the Alumni Fund. As a class we were pretty slow getting the show on the road, but when the final count was in, the class agents, spearheaded by Ted Harbaugh, and aided by a big percentage of our '35 membership, had rolled up a fine record.

BRIEFLY SPEAKING. .

Al Sherwood now a member of the Eastchester, N. Y., School Board. He explains: "No opposition, so elected for three-year term. Too bad, no pay."... Utica, N. Y., newspapers reported the election of Oliver Knode as director and v.p. of Savage Arms Corp. Oliver had been works manager of the corporation's plants since '49.... Charlie Haussermann's July bride was Eunice King Anderson. Charlie's now president of the Van Iderstine Company in Long Island City.. .. Fred Hickok resigned as treasurer of the Ware Cooperative Bank in Ware, Mass., to become vice president of the Cheshire County Savings Bank in Keene, N. H.... Jim Le Sure and his son paid a surprise call on Bob Hage. Jim watchdogs the tutelage of Connecticut children by being in charge of Teacher Certification for the State Board of Education.... Our class is well represented on the Dartmouth Alumni Council with two new members—Frank Cornwell and this correspondent.

INTERNATIONAL NOTES.. .

Had all to brief phone conversation with Sy Millstein, whose New York import business sends him shuttling, every fall, between the U.S., Hong Kong and T0ky0.... Postmarked from Athens was a welcome letter from Harris Dawson, who holds down the Deputy Director's post for the U.S. Operations Mission to Greece. Swanee writes: "Evelyn and I, plus three youngsters, take off in late summer, in our Mercury station wagon, for a two month's tour through Yugoslavia, Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. Not too keen on driving through Tito's territory, for the roads are reported to be terrible, but it's the only way out of Greece by road.... Probably be another ten months here, then back to Washington or to another foreign post."

OUR LITERARY LIGHTS.

With frequent reports of new publications authored by '35ers, it had occurred to your correspondent that, as a class, we are unusually prolific on the literary side. We checked with our Hanover legman, George Colton, and George reported back that Dartmouth Archives show more than thirty books written or co-authored by members of our class. Such a record of scholarly toil and accomplishment should not go unnoticed, so we shall list herewith the names of the authors and their works:

SERIOUS MOMENT. .

You may not have heard that Murray Beiley, who died last spring, made a provision for Dartmouth in his will. In this connection, we understand a number of Dartmouth men are making the College a final contingent beneficiary in their wills. Nothing to be lost, and possibly something to be gained. For, should there be a string of unforeseen circumstances, whereby none of your designated heirs was alive, your estate would finally come to Dartmouth instead of some particularly repugnant or unknown realtive. Something to think about.

LOST AND FOUND...

Ted Harbaugh asked me to track down long-lost J. Gordon Studebaker, whom I finally smoked out in Bronxville, N. Y., 5 Kensington Terrace. Until a year or so ago Gordon was a co-owner of radio station KSON in San Diego, finally trekked East again, and now works for the American School on East 42nd Street, N.Y.C. Gordon, you may remember, spent only a year at Dartmouth, then, lured by longtime West Coast friends, tiansferred to Stanford, where he was graduated in '35.

HABITAT HANOVER

It's no news flash that Administration executives Hage, Colton and Cameron are usually in the general vicinity of the campus, but it may be a surprise to most of you that five additional members of our class (or eight in all) make their headquarters in or near Hanover. Morris Heller is an anesthesiologist with the Hitchcock Clinic. Line Washburn, who ranks as Professor in the Department of Geology, teaches a College seminar, although he and his family trek regularly to the research base he's established m the remote northern part of Greenland. Nick Jacobson's permanent residence is Norwich, although his writing career calls for frequent trips to N. Y. Also in Norwich is Jim Huntley, who commutes to his job with First National Stores in North Haverhill, N. H., but uses his spare time to play the organ for the Episcopal Church in Norwich and work among rural churches in the area. I hen there s FayReed, faculty member at Kimball Union Academy in nearby Meriden, N. H., who frequently visits Dartmouth with Academy teams.
