1924

Bequest Chairman,

The summer is gone, Labor Day behind us and now (as I write) we are getting ready for the Convocation which will be reported in this issue in detail. For me, this has been a wonderful summer. After the wedding in June we travelled to Montego Bay, Jamaica; then to enjoy the coast of Maine; then some work at Cornell which was a springboard for two weeks in that area and up into Canada; shorter trips to Cape Cod and Lake Champlain. It is surprising that we managed to miss all classmates, although not by design.

We hope to see many of you here in Hanover at the football games, and are pleased to know the plans of some of you. We have filled the motel with our group, and I have secured the banquet hall of the Howard Johnson's, just out of White River Junction, for dinner for hungry 1924s on Saturday night. The time is 7 P.M. This worked out very well last year and so we're set. It will help all of us if you will reserve places through me, please, for that dinner. The meal is a la carte; you name it.

As for the motel, that's full and I have requests for others. I'll do my best to find them other accommodations, but that's a rough assignment. We have already reserved the same motel for next year — or we'd never have it. I'm mailing out assignments and asking immediate confirmation with a deposit. Those who stayed in the Coach n' Four last year liked it and asked for the repeat. This is for the Brown game, October 12.

I still have compliments on the new birthday card Stew Eldredge designed for us. I've seen none half as nice, and many classes have none at all. Your officers feel sure this has been a very well worth while contact and plan to continue it. Speaking of art, Joe Butler has just completed (Labor Day) his 22nd Annual Midyear Show, at the Butler Institute of Art at Youngstown, Ohio. The catalog lists invited artists and others with a sample of some of the works displayed. This I'd like to see.

Out of the Orient, in Singapore, we hear again from Red Newell. Son Ralph, now 16, returns for a fourth year at Blair Academy; Emily, 11, is at home attending the American School using the Calvert System for the 200 students of various ages and nationalities. He reports Clara as having fun in making some 6 acres look well with her gardening skill. He has been busy with a new banking quar- ters (a 9-story cooperative), and in need of exercise —with plans for a game but "fully expect it will rain heavily." Business is reported as "fairly satisfactory, so long as the prices of rubber and tin stand up."

Those of you who remember Al Brown when he ran the local advertising agency in town will probably also know he was with Best Foods, Inc. for 30 years. He spent three years with the Colorado Fuel and Iron Co. - "years ago." That accounts for the 33 years. Now he lives with his wife (no children) in an old salt-box house in Westport, Conn. — with all the many other advertising fraternity.

Spud Spaulding sends me the prosgram of the events in establishing the Bill Buettner Memorial, to which I have referred earlier. The program is on file in the Alumni Records office for any who wish to see it. This Memorial is in recognition of his outstanding work with the National Pest Control Association, of Elizabeth, N. J. The memorial tablet described him as "Architect of an Industry." Bill was its first president, in 1933 and Executive Secretary from 1934 to his death in on September 6.

Lee Remsdell, with whom I chatted here in the office a while back as well as when I talked in Philadelphia last spring, tells me his second boy is enrolled in the Northwood School at Lake Placid - on the way to Dartmouth, we all hope. Speaking of those talks to advertising groups, they continue to keep me on my toes to supplement my course in advertising; Cornell in July and local chapters of the N.I.A.A. in Chicago and Detroit on September 9 and 10.

Josh Goldman was guest speaker (and a director) of the Eastern Conn., chapter of Professional Engineers. He had his B.S. and M.S. from Dartmouth; an honorary Ph.D. from Caracas. Before World War II he was prospecting, consulting, and manufacturing; during the war he was a Commander in the Naval Research Reserve. For the past ten years he has operated the Hadlyme Laboratories. Roily Gibson is Associate Professor of Economics at the University of North Dakota; a Ph.D. from Columbia University.

John Parker left real estate to join the Travelers Insurance Co. in 1937. Recent news states he has been appointed as an Administrative Assistant in the group sales department.

Leo Fitzpatrick is the new president of the Bergen County (N. J.) Medical Society; also chief of the Dept. of Anesthesiology at Holy Name Hospital, Teaneck, and Bergen Pines Hospital. Leo has many recognitions of his work in this field. He lives with his wife and four children in West Englewood.

Mike Branch sends me a picture of the new building for the Lake Worth (Fla.) Federal Savings and Loan Association, of which he is President.

We'll all miss the Van Huycks this fall; Lou and Van are on a trip to Europe to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary. Bon voyage — and congratulations on the job you did for the Alumni Fund, Van.
