1926

Secretary,1618 Orrington Ave., Evanston, Ill.

Treasurer, 6 Stanwich Rd., Greenwich, Conn.

Bequest Chairman,

Our awe and humility, as we start this 5-year attempt to fill even one of Hub Harwood's Secretary-Chairman shoes, recall the emotions of 35 years ago, when cruel parents abandoned us ... 98 lbs. of pea-green freshman ... to face the great 4-year unknown on Hanover Plain. This time, thank goodness, no grizzled janitor nor conniving upper-classman has attempted to sell us the dorm-room radiator, or the '25 file boxes. Quite the contrary, our "senior" (Hub) has been only kind and helpful... even making a special trip from Boston to Chicago to turn over the files! (We regret to report that Hub's reception was a damp one; he arrived just after 18 inches of water had poured into your Secretary's recreation room and basement.) In all'sincerity, we doubt if a Dartmouth class ever had or ever will have a finer Secretary-Chairman than Hub. We hope our rattling-around in his Secretarial shoes won't prove too plainly audible. Meanwhile, there's quite an accumulation of summer and early-fall happenings . . . in several interesting classifications:

"THOUGH 'ROUND THE GIRDLEDEARTH THEY ROAM". . .

From far-off Hong Kong, last month, came Francis Pan... to start daughter Shirley at Wellesley, to visit Dartmouth, and to attend Class get-togethers planned in his honor in Boston and New York. (Details in Chip's Bulletin.) Almost as far away, Bill Hughes, with Palmer, is now stationed in Istanbul, "talking Turkey" on behalf of Socony Vacuum. Oil. Courtney Brown writes from New Delhi, India:

"Marge and I are now halfway around the world on an Eisenhower Fellowship, having visited and hastily studied some 10 countries so far, including Iran, Pakistan, India, Burma, and Thailand. From here we proceed east, ending in Japan. We expect to be back in New York by December 1."

Bob Breyfogle, of London, England, was an Honorary Vice Chairman of last month's Anglo-Canadian-American Great Issues Convoction in Hanover. Bob was recently placed in charge of all United Kingdom branches of the First National City Bank of New York. Red and Emmy Merrill returned to Hanover in August, after an extended European sojourn that caused them to miss Reunion. Tom and Grace Murdough, who first met in France, on post-college tours in the '20's celebrated their silver wedding this summer with a 7-country European trip. Because Grace felt it wouldn't be the same without handsome young college-men nearby, they took sons Charles and Tom along! Ozzie Fitts, Tom Herlihy and Carl Schipper are all reported to have flown to London in July, for the American Bar Association Convention.

"AS THE BACKS GO TEARING BY,"

this Fall, there'll be '26 get-togethers at each big game.

Brown at Hanover, October 12.

Hal Marshall and Hub Harwood will (or did?) host the pre-game festivities at the Chief Motel on Lyme Road, just outside Hanover. B.Y.O.L. (The "L" stands for Lunch!)

Harvard At Cambridge, October 26.

Commodore Nostrand has again chartered the S.S. Jonester for this famous '26 peeradede-luxe. Martini-time starts at 11, at the Smith House on Memorial Drive. Buffet lunch, for them as likes solids . . . then the boat ride to the Stadium, the game, and the boat ride back to Smith House.

Yale At New Haven, November 2.

Meet at Portal 3, as usual. Stop by and see the gang there before the game, even if you can't make it in time for picnic lunch. Princeton At Princeton, November 23.

Details next issue.

"HERE COME THE BRIDES"

. . . down the aisle with their '26 fathers. Hub and Dot Harwood's daughter Georgia was married to Lt. William Cameron Blackmore, Jr., U.S.A.F., June 29, in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Ed and Ollie Raisbeck's daughter Jane because the bride of Lt. Jeffrey Hall Smythe, U.S.A.F., July 27, in Darien, Conn., with Bob and Pense Cleary's daughter Susan serving as one of the bridesmaids. Tubber and Mary Weymouth's daughter Harriet ("Sis") was married to Vincent Victor Cavalli August 17, in Winnetka, Ill. Also, George and Margaret Bixby's son George was married to Miss Margot Morrill Painter June 16. (They'll live in Hanover.) Last but not least, one honest-to-goodness '26 wedding. On June 29, in Westfield, N. J., Miss Jane Grimier became the wife of our own Tony Gleason. jane, a Supervisor of Music in the Westfield schools, is hereby officially and heartily welcomed into '26 ranks.

"WE'VE GOT THE STUFF!"

A number of important honors, promotions and achievements by '28-ers were reported during the Summer. Tom Colt was appointed Director of the Dayton (Ohio) Art Institute. Dick Maloney has been named Associate Dean of the College of the Liberal Arts at Pennsylvania State University, where he has been Assistant Dean and Director of International Student Affairs for the past four years. The Lynn (Mass.) Republican, June 12, reports that

"Friends and associates throughout the state will honor Saugus Superintendent of Schools Jesse J. Morgan with a banquet and reception in the nigh school. Mr. Morgan has recently resigned signed his position to serve as Superintendent in the Chatham-Harwich area of Cape Cod. He came to Saugus six years ago, from Auburn."

Proving that Secretary-Chairman has not been Hub's only job . . . a 2-page article in the Worcester (Mass.) Sunday Telegram quotes "husky, 6-foot Herbert H. Harwood, head of the Boston and Albany," on the railroad's $6,000,000. expenditure for Centralized Traffic Control. Says the Telegram, proudly, "He was graduated from Dartmouth in 1926 in the same class with Dr. George C. Tully of Worcester." (But no mention of George's football prowess!) The article concludes with: "And so it is under Herbert H. Harwood, a descendant of Massachusetts folk from back as far as the 1750's, that the Boston and Albany will be converted to elec- tronics." Dick Husband writes:

"Governor Collins has appointed me Chairman of the Florida State Board of Examiners for Psychology, to enforce a bill the legislature just passed to compel psychologists who sell their services to the public on a fee basis to pass rigid standards — of education, supervised experience, and examination. I am also President of the Florida Psychological Association, and Commander of the Tallahassee Power Squadron. Keeps me so busy I hardly have time to go out in my own boat."

Brant Wallace has been appointed to the office of Magistrate for Mendham (N. J.) Borough, where he has also served as President of the School Board.

The Westficld (N.J.) Leader advises that Dr. Anthony H. Gleason has been named research associate and engineering associate with the Esso Research and Engineering Co., and that Tony has no less than 63 patents in the fields of additives, resins, synthetic rubber and surface coatings. Norrie Williamson and his Dad simultaneously celebrated their 30th anniversary with Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Co. Finally, and perhaps most interesting of all, an illustrated communication from Paul and Harriet Kyburg:

"York, Pa. July 3, 1957. We think you will be interested to know that on Monday morning, July 15, the Vernondale General Store in the pretty little village of North Sutton, N. H., will open its doors under new management. The new proprietors — Paul and Harriet Kyburg! We hope you will come in and see us. Glad to have you sample our cheese; no cracker-barrel philosophy offered. If you can't find North Sutton on the map, look about five miles below New London, N. H., in the Sunapee area."

The illustration depicts the little general store, directly between the schoolhouse and the post office. Harriet adds that Paul has resigned "from the pressure of Industry" in his job as Purchasing Agent for the York Corp., York, Pa. We all wish you luck, Ky and Harriet! We have an idea a great many of us will be envying you . . . and dropping in 011 you, too. To paraphrase the proverb: "A nose in the cracker-barrel is worth two on the grindstone!"

TWENTY-SIX CHEERS: -

Harry and Mary Fisher . . . for their magnificent performance in planning and managing our "Therapeutic 30th." They made it "Th era-perfect" by actually coming out $852.35 in the black! This money has been turned over to the Class Treasury, to be used for specific special projects, as the Class Executive Committee directs.

So it's only fitting and proper that the Committee's first and very special project was to honor and surprise Harry Fisher himself . . . with the gift of a Dartmouth chair, inscribed to reflect the grateful appreciation of the Class.

Charlie Abbott. . . for a fine job on the August Reunion . . . including the excellent write-up that appeared in Chip Chipman's live-wire September Bulletin.

Andy O'Conner and Don Hopkins . . . along with their team of Chip Chipman, Holt McAloney and Herm Trefethen . . . for a truly great 6-year job on the Alumni Fund. This year, as you probably know, Andy brought us in third in total dollars, fifth in dollar increase over quota, and one of only four classes to pass the $30,000 mark. We're sorry that Andy and Don couldn't make our June Reunion ... so that the Class could better express our appreciation for a long, tough job, well done!

And a final note of sadness. We have just received word of the death of Jack Altizer, June 22, in Charleston, W. Va. Further information will appear later in the In Memoriam pages.
