1938

The summer months slip quickly by, as members of the Class send their hopefuls off to camp, take vacations themselves, and tend the manorial preserves of Suburbia. The quiet of Hanover this summer was almost devoid, however, of 19385, even with the proximity of that capital of camp civilization, Lake Fairlee not too far away.

We had a very pleasant two visits with the Don Boyles, just to make an exception to the above statement, and found them flourishing in their inimitable fashion. Don reports that Bob Kelley had finally returned East from his ranching activities in California just long enough to board a liner for Europe.

To keep this column strictly on the Poly Prep level for the moment, comes news of Lawrence Cameron Hull III via the Shell Oil Co.'s public relations department. The Big Cheese has been named to the newly-created position of assistant sales manager of Shell Oil's Los Angeles marketing division. I never have been able to keep up with the almost annual moves of the Hull menage; so here's a run-down in retrospect: "Hull joined Shell in 1946 as a salesman in Brooklyn, N. Y. Since that date he has served as employee relations manager in the Chicago office, sales supervisor at St. Louis, and manager of the Queens-Manhattan district of the New York marketing division. His most recent assignment before coming to Los Angeles was with the company's New York public relations department." Larry now resides at 1840 Las Flores Drive, Glendale, Calif. That winds up the group except for Wilson, "That's all."

No month is complete without news from Ganter; he, incidentally, was one of the few I saw on Main Street all summer. Bill looked in grand shape and seemed cheery and contented. And no Ganter account is complete without mention of the peripatetic operator, Major Brett; this time off for his annual summer tour of duty in the reserves. Frank had had a pleasant evening with the McMurtries (on past class funds?) in Boston, but what the purpose of the McMurtrie visitation was is not recorded for posterity. The Charles Y. Hitchcocks are renovating a 200-year-old house in Hingham, and my condolences from my own experience on that score!

Tommy Herbert was elected an assistant treasurer at Bankers Trust Co., N. Y.; this occurred sometime in April, and has just come to light, so apologies for the delay. Tom's assignment is with the investment research division of the bank, which he joined in 1954.

Charley Livermore has been appointed as executive secretary of the N. Y. State Commission Against Discrimination. He has been program director for the President's Committee on Contract Compliance in Washington. This is the Federal group headed by Vice President Nixon that is charged with eliminating discrimination in employment under Government contracts. He has been executive director of the BufEalo Board of Community Relations. He was twice president of the National Association of Intergroup Agencies.

Comes the season of the opening of school and college, and with it, news of personnel and plans. The Plymouth, Mass., High School has announced the appointment of Jim Cuffe as a teacher of mathematics. Dr. Alfred R.Wolff, student personnel director and associate professor of education at the University of Bridgeport has been elected president of the Connecticut Personnel and Guidance association. Recently he was also elected to a threeyear term as secretary of the New England Personnel and Guidance conference at a meeting in Boston.

Thirty-eight's leading musical light, Clem Sandresky, has been advertised as the opener of the Winston-Salem Symphony five-concert series for the coming season. He was to open last year's series, but he suffered a broken wrist in a summer auto accident and was forced to withdraw. Clem, as previously reported, is dean of the Salem College School of Music.

Not much has been heard since 1938, at. least in this corner, of Colin McLeod. The Bethlehem (Pa.) Bulletin gives only-a glimmer of news when it states: "Trainer ColinMcLeod, who is readying Companas Stables' Ros Clag for the April 18 opening at Laurel, is an avid ski enthusiast." I wonder how Ros Clag did and could use any inside stuff Colin is willing to divulge.

In the political turmoil of New Hampshire politics, where graduation from Dart- mouth seems almost an essential qualification, 1938's Happy Warrior, Charley Tesreau has filed as a candidate for county solicitor. Last election, Charley was unopposed, but this time a hot contest looms as it did two elections ago when Tesreau defeated the same opponent. Bob Jones will also be meeting some opposition in his race for reelection as County Commissioner.

Johnny Scotford frequently ships along little items of news picked up from sub-agents and other undercover sources. From Bob Emlen, via Scotty: "Bill Troxell joined Columbia Ribbon and Carbon Mfg. Co. in 1954 in Philadelphia and is doing a big job there today in the sales department. Until then he had been in the Army and later working for the Army apparently in a civilian capacity."

Soon now will be the season of meeting people at Gate 24 or Portal 1 or somewhere in the parking lot outside the Stadium. Keep in touch and let's hear who shows up and what he's doing. Pretty soon now we should be producing some material for the Big Green; one rugged character coming along belongs to Whitey Mays. He sent me a picture of a belligerent youth with a big green "D" on his chest. Since MAGAZINE policy is not to print such pictures without a member of the class in same, I can only remark that Dawson Coleman Mays looks ready to chew up the nearest Yalie in the vicinity.

As always to wind up last year's business now that the returns are in, Scotty put on another marvelously vigorous campaign and a superb stretch-drive. All possible thanks and credit are due him, as is true each year, and to his many faithful and energetic assistants. The class is continually lucky in having as many men as we do willing to devote their time and energy so devotedly to the Class and College.

Peter Schaeffer '38 is the lucky (?) owner of a 1921 American-La France fire engine, won as first prize in Holiday Magazine's 10th Anniversary Admin's Contest. Properly hatted, Schaeffer, an account executive with McCann-Erickson, wife Emmy and youngsters Pete, Pamela and Billy are shown with the prize which they keep in an empty airplane hangar near their home in Purchase, N. V.
