1941
As we roll into the spring, more communiques have arrived from places throughout the country from '41s who are making plans for the pilgrimage to Hanover for the Fantastic Fifteenth Reunion, June 15-17 next. I'm giving you the date right now since I have had several notes indicating the date was unknown to most of the class. I'm sorry for neglecting that very important item but there it is - June 15-17 — and you've still got plenty of time to plan your trip.
Chuck Bolte writes from Riverside, Conn., that he'll see us in Hanover next June, God willing. Says Chuck: "All well here - new house on the water, twelve-foot outboard, ten Irish setter puppies, both boys and Mary flourishing."
And from Snyder, N. Y., comes a message from Ed Marlette: "Just to say hello and hope that all is going well. I don't see too many Dartmouth men although I have seen TomDunlevy and Red Taft during the past year. Good luck and will see you in Hanover next June."
Ed McMillan moved back East last call and is settled down in Boston, Mass., as manager of the Boston office of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Beane. Ed was formerly manager of the brokerage firm's office in Westwood Village, Los Angeles. It seems that he is making up for lost time, since reports indicate he and his family have visited Hanover twice in recent months. This is another fellow we're hoping to see at the Fifteenth.
Quentin Deming is an assistant professor of medicine in the Columbia Research Division at Goldwater Memorial Hospital, Welfare Island, N. Y. George Cruze is advertising manager of the Burlington Free Press in Burlington, Vt. Out on the Pacific Coast, GeneD'Olive is manager of client public relations in the San Francisco office of Foote, Cone & Belding, another fine advertising agency. George Guerrieri is chief of the Orthopedic Section of the VA Hospital at Newington, Conn.
Julian Koenig, who gave sliding instructions to would-be Softball players every night in Gitsis' restaurant during undergraduate days, is currently in training at his home in Connecticut, so he will be in shape for a demonstration at the 15th Reunion. Julie is currently the brains behind the fine advertising copy that comes out of Ellington & Co. (Wouldn't you know a jazz fan like Koenig would end up at Ellington!)
Charley McLane is assistant professor of political science at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania. Jack Kelley is a partner in the insurance firm of Fred S. James & Co. in Minneapolis. Seen any good tackles out that way, Kell? And speaking o£ tackles, BobO'Brien is a vice president of Marsh & McLennan in Boston, the well-known insurance brokerage firm.
Les Overlock is regional sales manager for American Photocopy Equipment Company in Chicago, Ill. Bill Paddock is secretary-treasurer of Newark Cold Storage & Ice Co. in Walcott, N. Y., and also runs a hardware business. John McAllister is a Marine Corps Major and stationed at Santa Ana, Calif. FredLeopold is an attorney in Los Angeles, Calif., and resides in Beverly Hills. What a life! Sunshine and plenty of tennis, I'll bet. Jim McGaughey is in the medical department of Connecticut General Life Insurance Company.
A bit of news from the Southwest. ChandlerRobinson is situated in Fort Worth and is an industrial development analyst for Texas Electric Service Company. Also, Chet Williams is now director of Student Training at the University of Oklahoma.
As I go through the clippings from the news bureau, let's see whose names are in the papers this month. Bruce Friedlich, our Class Agent par excellence, has left Fortune magazine after fourteen years with that publication. Bruce was New York advertising manager and has resigned to take a new post in charge of merchandising and promotional activities at Bache & Co., one of the nation's foremost investment firms. Incidentally, I know Bruce would want me to mention the fact that the Alumni Fund drive has started and that this year our hopes are high for a Green Derby championship. Last year we had a record-breaking 93% participation index, yet lost out in the Derby because our total gift just edged past our quota by seven dollars. But Bruce points out that last year the aim was at high participation and that was certainly highly successful. This year we're hoping to keep participation up and have the average gift increase enough to get us home in front. Let's all make Bruce's job as Class Agent easier by responding promptly.
The Baltimore News Post reports that EdWalten has been appointed assistant trust officer of the First National Bank of Baltimore. Ed graduated from the University of Baltimore Law School, and joined the trust department of the bank in 1953. Another name in the news is Art Hills. Art has been named a special partner in the firm of Charles F. Rittenhouse & Co., certified public accountants in Boston.
How about that Dartmouth basketball team winning the Ivy League championship! By this time you all know what they did in the NCAA tournament, but at this writing I don't. Next week I'll stop oft at Madison Square Garden and watch them play West Virginia. Maybe I'll pick up some news for my next notes.
If you noticed a large number of names in the notes this month, I had a purpose in putting them all in. You see, I figure my tenure as class secretary will be up following the Reunion and that means I have just two more issues of the class notes to write. I'm going to put all I can into those issues so I won't have a lot of news left over at the end. After all, the new secretary, whoever he may be, wouldn't want me to hand over a lot of news all set for publication. Or would he?
Secretary, 121 Meadbrook Road, Garden City, N. Y.
Class Agent, 150 Morningside Rd., Verona, N. J.
