1918

Secretary, 74 Trinity Place, New York 6, N. Y.

Treasurer, 420 Lexington Ave., New York 17, N. Y.

Bequest Chairman,

Hitch up sometime with Bill Christgau when he goes to Hanover - it's a treat. Everyone knows Chris, and he knows everyone. He saw Johnnie Campbell's son, Paul '57, graduate from the U. of Mass.; saw Gerry Geran's great admirer, McCarthy - felt it was magic the way Gerry used to take the puck up the ice. He noted that Carol Morse's Pete is doing well at Harvard; then was off to Jake and Ruth Bingham's daughter Jane's wedding in Concord. Attending the wedding were many of Jake's friends; Duke, Bob Shirley, Clark Bryant, Johnny Scully, Phil and Doris Sanderson, Don Brooks '17, and Doc Walters '17 were some that Chris ran into. Any '18ers going to Hanover, be sure to look up Margaret and Al Zulick's son Jack, who entered this fall, after 2 years at Mercersburg, in the top quarter of his class. . . .

Edith and Dick Holton (Dick tucking away another fantastic record for the Alumni Fund), headed for the coast in July, and had a nice visit with Eddie and ElizabethMader, and a delightful visit with Betty and Tommy Robbins in Banff. . . . How thoughtful! The wife of one of our departed '18ers sent in $100. for a foundation in memory of her husband.

Evelyn Colwell, blessed with wonderful weather on the Cape, had a delightful summer and was looking forward to seeing her many friends in 1918 at the football games.

Nancy and Red Hulburt tried a new vacation - while New York City sweltered in terrific heat, they were in Colorado, on Buck Horn Mt., sleeping under 3 blankets, at 8300 elevation and snowdrifts all around. . . .

New York Daily News - 5.27.57 "... N.B.C.'s Moscow correspondent, Irving R. Levine, and Nancy Jones, Dave Garroway's secretary, tied the knot in August." Stan and M. O. Jones enjoyed August at the Hillcrest Motel, Cheybague Island, Me.

Always mentioned in the Garden Section of the N. Y. Times, is our Fred Cassebeer, horticulturist expert, and in West Nyack, Fred and Marcia have exhibitions of tall bearded and Siberian iris. Their bulb business has been booming fantastically, and they love it, and only hope they won't be drawn away from their model drugstore - since 1878 — on Madison Ave., which is known for miles around....

Syl and Minetta's (Morey) Clayton, and 4 other Columbia U. grads, opened an architect's office at 150 E. 47th St., N. Y. City. . . . Giant Homer Hill, once topping considerably 200 lbs., is down to less than 190, and looks fine.... In philosophizing a bit, the Old Dane, Al Sibbernsen, Bennington, Nebr., and thanking M. O. for their thoughtfulness in sending books they could read during the long winter nights on the farm, said that graduates of U. of Nebraska and Dartmouth out there all seem to be real estate and insurance salesmen.

The class extends deep sympathy to Marjorie Poole on the demise of our Lyman C. Poole. He was a much loved man by many in his class who tried for years to get him out to class affairs. In a note Marjorie says, "To know that so many people loved Lymie too, is comfort to me, for he was indeed worthy of it. I'm sure he would be pleased, as I am, that a bookplate has been placed in a Baker Library volume." This Memorial Book Program is now undertaken by all the classes and the class is now investing $1090. in a worthy cause for these 109 bookplates ($10 each) for all deceased 'iBers to date. . . . Sympathy is extended to Herm WhitmDre, whose wife Tillie passed away this summer.

What a wonderful party that Oct. 26 Harvard Game will be! Listen to this: From Harvey Hood - With our 40th coming in June, we would like to try a buffet luncheon before the game. We're a block from route 9, which New Yorkers would come on. At Lee Street turn right, just before Brookline Reservoir - take next right on Warren St. - then 3rd house at right." Bill Christgau maintains we'll see more '18ers at Harvard than ever before.

Everybody loves to hear from Bob Fish so let's listen:

"You—and only you—will be interested to know that Harvey Hood has asked me to join the Committee on Community Environment—one of the somewhat numerous committees trying to hammer out Dartmouth's 'Third Century' program. It goes almost without saying that I've accepted. My active participation, however, will not commence until September or October. In the intervening months, we will be in California, in New Mexico, and in Wisconsin."

As of Sept. 1st, we were.given an address of 13210 Sunset Drive, P.O. Box 668, Los Altos, Calif., as Bob's.

No one name of a Dartmouth man appears more frequently in conversations around New York, than that of Wally Ross '09, brother of Ned Ross, who induced more good timber and material and splendid men for Dartmouth than almost anyone in those days. '185 Clint Carvell, who discovered Richard Hovey's grave in the North Andover Cemetery, tells Wally Ross how his college associations mean much more to him as the years move on. Walter Fuller, old roomey of Hal Eastman, of W. E. Fuller Co., clothiers, of Amesbury, Mass. (wife Edith is U. of Mich. — have 3 boys, 1 daughter), has been giving a lot of time to a good cause, and the difficult one of trying to "obtain legacies or codicils in behalf of our local, private cemetery."

Jack Slabaugh is always so helpful in passing along news, and enjoying a fine relationship with Bill McKenzie '16, he heard of their very successful post-reunion party for 5 days up near Lyme; everyone had a delightful time. How about that, Bennie Mugridge and Bill Christgau for 1918? Jack and Thelma, Marion and Cort Horr, had lunch together in Chicago, as the Slabaughs were headed for California. Jack is the new Pres. of the Akron General Hospital Board of Trustees; with all that on his mind, he interviews candidates for Dartmouth (1 in out of 13), boasts of 4 grandchildren, and comes from rugged parents; father passed away at 97, Nov., 1956. That means Mel Southwick, Tom Shirley and Jack are in the same business—tackling the difficult task of running hospitals — as Bob Fish did so successfully.

In June, Cort Horr and Gene Markey had a wonderful reunion - and it was Cort who reported Mrs. Markey was making excellent recovery from her serious operation last May. . . . Newspapers over the country carried the announcement "Pres. Eisenhower, today nominated James M. Langley, New Hampshire newspaper publisher, Ambassador to Pakistan" under date line of 5.27.57. All who know Jim, know he will do an outstanding job and give a good account of himself. . . . Big headlines in the Denver newspapers, as of last Aug. 4 "Newest Water Commissioner Is Veteran in Public Service." Tom Campbell was manager of Improvements and Parks under former Mayor Quigg Newton, and has become a public servant again.

Good old Chuck Hilliker, old roomey of Taylor Cook and Johnny Cunningham, who was a Ford dealer back 10 years, ago, is ". . . doing a tremendous job with his long haul truck lines. He now has about 2000 employees." Johnny and Katherine Cunningham, who fully intend to be at reunion next June, say that maybe Chuck will be along too, for he hasn't been back since the 20th.

Ted Healy, the old Pres. of George Hallas' Alumni Assn., former members of the Chicago Bears, enjoyed (?) a diverticulitis operation last summer. However, he writes: "Luke and I are looking forward to next June with pleasure."

Shorty Alden is feeling like a million dollars; glad to know, Shorty, that you're back in East Orleans, Mass., and out of the hospital in Providence, R. I.

Thoughtful Clarence Opper, accountant, lawyer, and judge (Now U.S. Tax Court Judge), enjoyed Hanover last June, and a fine reunion with Amos Blandin and Rolf Syvertsen.... Katherine and Bill Mudgett, from Palo Alto, Calif., say they may fly back for the reunion next June. Daughter Peggy, who had 9 months in Honolulu, is now working at Stanford U. where she hopes to accumulate for a year in Europe or around the world. Says Bill, "On widely spaced trips through Deeth, Nev., I've missed Bill Wright three times in 3 years."

Lang Robinson says, - "Martha and I leave this weekend for the west coast to join our daughter. Sally who is teaching anthropology at the U. of California at Berkeley, to be gone for a month. Both Martha and I are looking forward to reunion and Hanover next June."

'18s Ray W. Smith, Dublin, N. H., gave a splendid talk at the Amos Fortune Forum, JafErey, N. H., last summer, on some of the implications of the Near East situation. Ray was with the American Oil Co. in Belgium and Germany, and Economic Advisor of the American Commandant of Berlin, and later U.S. Commissioner, on the Military Security Board in Germany.

Margaret and Jim Duffy (Pres. of Kellett Aircraft Corp., Willow Grove, Pa.) are planning to be at reunion next June. . . .Doug Johnston '51, son of Ann and Johnny, brought the total of grandchildren up to 7 with a 9 lb. boy on July 1 5t. . . . George B. Rowell ("Fat" to us) who has always been active with Red Cross and Salvation Army campaigns, was a Director on the Greater Boston United Fund.

Ruth and Roger Howland have been en- joying concerts and art exhibitions in Woodstock, N. Y., where Nancy and Red Hulburt were taking painting lessons one summer. . . . Al Gottschaldt reported a nice visit with Tommy Groves and announced an affiliation of his advertising agency with a leading Latin-American ad agency.

Bennie Mugridge and Bill Christgau have put in tremendous time and planning for our 40th next June to be the biggest ever. When Chris was in Hanover he made a special point to check up on the mattresses in the dormitories in Fairweather allocated to '18 for the June 1958 40th. He found the accommodations splendid and the Hanover crowd of 'iBers most cooperative in making it '18s greatest. (T'would be pretty hard to beat Priscilla and Tom's (Shirley) famous Banana Reunion.)

Edith and Dick Cooley had a fine month of August at the Eagle Mountain House in Jackson, N. H., where they have gone for years, and enjoy a fine crowd and plenty of good golf. We will all enjoy seeing them at the University Club, night before the Harvard game, and at Harvey Hood's buffet luncheon and "at the Commander cocktail party after the game for class members and friends, and for those who wish a pleasant evening, we have been able to arrange a large table at Blinstrub's Peasant Village in South Boston," says Dick Cooley.
