Three blizzards in eight days in March around Boston tied up, and postponed, many events and much work and play. Mail didn't get through and news is scarce.
Jay D. Runkle has just completed eighteen months' service abroad as retailing consultant to the Organization for European Economic Cooperation and now has become associated with Harrison Services, Inc., a department store catalogue concern in New York.
Harry French and his sister Edith, with Betty, left early in March for a visit with Harry's brother Roland in Gainesville, Fla. Betty was to return before the others to have some skiing in the resort areas.
Harvey McCleary is planning a trip East this summer which will be delayed by his daughter's graduation from the University of lowa, so look for him perhaps as late as the first of July.
Eddie Sides in Tampa, Fla., has been visiting his daughter and one-and-a-half-year-old granddaughter for several weeks. When he is back at work, it will be for the rest of the year only.
Henry Hamilton sailed on the Vulcania in February with his wife and daughter for Italy on an extended European trip. Henry expects to have a month and a half on the Continent. Nat Rice and Dorothy were on board, bound for Gibraltar, Canary Islands, Spain and Portugal. They only recognized each other when someone at the dining table happened to mention Dartmouth, so started to reminisce.
George and Grace Stiles are another couple in Florida - Hollywood, this time.
Lisa Wright Neff born on March 26, to Marianne Hugus Neff and Phillippe M. Neff. Grandparents, Martha and Judge Hugus are doing well in Forest Hills, Wheeling, W. Va.
With deep regret we report the death of Hilda Blackburn Maloney, wife of J. Loy Maloney in St. Luke's Hospital, Chicago, Ill. She and Pat were married in Winchester, England, on March 17, 1919, while he was an officer of the 94th Aero Squadron, with the Army of Occupation. She was an organizer and former president of the English War Brides Club and she and Pat were among the founders of the Flossmoor Community Church. Surviving are their two daughters, Mrs. Latimer D. Johns, Huntington Woods, Mich., and Mrs. A. Leroy Jenks, Portsmouth, Va., wife of a Navy lieutenant; four grandchildren, three sisters, two brothers-in-law and her father-in-law, James S. Maloney. The sympathy of the entire class is extended to Pat and his family. He is the former managing editor of the Chicago Tribune, now retired.
After 36 years with Minute Tapioca, Howard P. "Pop" Warren retired last July and with Arlene he left by Pan American Airways for what was originally intended to be a three-month visit with Janet (Mrs. Alan P. White) in Germany. They have two boys. With headquarters with Janet in Frankfort, they toured through the Scandinavian Countries, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. Harriet (Mrs. Courtland P. Hamlett), their second daughter, arrived with Courtland, a lieutenant in the Artillery, at Aschffenburg, and was transferred to Germany, so it was fine to have both families there. Pop had been instrumental in getting a new mill for Tapioca started in Thailand, so the Company suggested he visit the operation there. Thus they left Italy on November 11 and visited Athens, Istanbul, Turkey, Beirut, the Holy Land, New Delhi, India, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Honolulu, San Francisco and home (Orange, Mass.), arriving January 7. Son John is married, has one son and is teaching math at Phillips Exeter. Now Pop has been elected vice president of the Orange National Bank, so with his usual public-spirited jobs he is busy all the time, yet planning on other shorter trips.
Edmund "Buck" Freeman has been the only member of the Class at the Dartmouth luncheons in Washington, D.C., for a long time. He sits with '12, Connie Snow, Lyme Armes and John McCarthy, usually. He and Gladys have also been tourists to and visitors in Florida this winter.
George Steele, although retired from active teaching and management at The Choate School in Wallingford, Conn., is traveling for the school, visiting parents of the boys, most of whom he knows and has taught, as well as their fathers in many cases. After settling down in Wellesley, Mass., he will probably travel abroad again.
