In line with our customary policy of recording vital statistics on members of theClass, we quote herewith, in part, an announcement recently received from LarryLougee:
"Recruit Richard William Lougee, ASN 0000004, having reported in at this station at 1625 hours (4:25 PM) on Friday, 23 March 1956, said Recruit is hereby attached for Quarters and Rations to Colonel Laurence W. and Mary E. Lougee, Quarters 106-B, Governors Island, New York 4, New York."
It is also very pleasant to report that BobCarr has been appointed to the directorship of the Great Issues Course for this next year. Bob recently returned from a half-year of study in England under a Guggenheim Fellowship, comparing civil liberties in the United States and Great Britain.
We have also just heard that Marv Braverman has been reelected to a two-year term as treasurer of the National Travelers Aid Association. Marv has been a member of the board of directors of the Association since 1950.
We had no information about Bud Mcintosh for the Twenty-Five Year Book, but we now have plenty of interesting information for the next book, whenever that may be. In the meanwhile, here is a partial quotation from an excellent article about Bud in Manchester's New Hampshire Sunday News:
"There are two ways of becoming a top-flight boatbuilder. One is to apprentice yourself out to an experienced veteran for a few years and pick up the tricks of the trade as you go along. Then you strike out on your own.
"The other is singularly more original and is the one that has been followed by Bud Mcintosh, the Dover Point boatbuilder, whose craftsmanship is rated tops among U. S. yacht builders and designers.
"If you aspire to turn out a quarter of a million dollars' worth of sleek, sound boats in 25 years and wish to follow in the Mcintosh footsteps, you first graduate from Dartmouth as a Phi Beta Kappa in an English major. You then take advanced work at Harvard in the same subject, teach for a year in a family-owned business college in Dover, build a boat in the barn, marry a Smith girl, and 25 years later the country's leading boat designers will be beating a path to your door.
"That's how easy it looks.
"In addition to actually building boats, Mcintosh also is responsible for the design of one out of every three boats built at his yard. He recently designed and built a 25-ft. auxiliary for Dr. Clarence Campbell of Hanover which could be lugged around on a trailer."
We hear that the Hanover Inn Bulletin Board carried the names of Bob Drake, TedShackford and Ken Wilson.
We were very pleased to receive a clipping that advised us that Perley Perkins has been appointed underwriting supervisor at the Boston branch office of the American-Associated Insurance Companies. Perley entered the insurance business with the Liberty Mutual as an underwriter in 1930 and has had 25 years' experience in this field. For the past eleven years he has been senior underwriter with the Indemnity Insurance Co. of North America.
We hear that Ben Stacey has given his answer to the question, "What Lies Ahead for Business?" in a recent talk in Fall River, Mass. Ben is an industrial analyst for the First National Bank of Boston and also serves on the New England Economics Education Council.
It is hard to realize that since 1947, when Bob Monahan took the job of college forester and manager of college outing properties, his responsibilities have grown to cover so much territory as has been pointed out in an article recently received about Bob. The Dartmouth Grant is the largest and wildest of the properties which are Bob's responsibilities - the Grant being a 26,800-acre area, known as the Second College Grant and which was given to the College by the state legislature in 1807 because the legislature felt, at that time, that without its aid to provide additional income, the College "must inevitably decline and be finally reduced to ruin." Other properties are the Moosilauke area, including the Ravine House; the 6000-acre timberland tract, the Gardner Forest, in Springfield and Wilmot, N. H.; the 700-acre Clement Estate in West Corinth, Vt.; the Oak Hill lift, the Golf Course tow and Occom Pond; the College-owned Dewey Field community garden near the intersection of College Street and North Park Street, which provides garden land for 37 Hanover families; chairmanship of the college committee planning the overall development of the 640-acre Holt's Ledge ski area; and he is also secretary of the governor's sixman Mt. Washington advisory committee (as most of you know, the College owns all the stock in the company which owns the summit tract and operates the summit house and the cog railway).
