1941
Plenty Of Indians And Not Enough Chiefs! That's a fine thing for a pretty Injun maiden to say about the Class of 1941. But women have been wrong before, so it looks like it remains for every one of us to show this squaw that her accusation was entirely unfounded.
Nine of us got a sneak preview of the 1957 Alumni Fund kick-off masterpiece authored by Bruce Friedlich and Frank Hall at the New York Class Agents' Dinner at the Union League Club in March. Naturally Bruce and Frank were present. Also Don Stillman, BobTepper, John White, Chuck Bolté, Bob Taft and Bob Barr. However, money was not the only topic of conversation during the course of the evening. Everyone reported fully about their doings and about other classmates recently encountered.
Don often rides the train from Conn, to New York City with George Thompson. George commutes from Norwalk. He is connected with the exclusive distributor of Wedgwood China in the U. S. On a recent business trip to Cleveland, George attended a Dartmouth "wing-ding," at which JackWaldorf, Warner Bishop and Ossie Mills were present.
A fellow townsman of Don Stillman is Don Brown, who has moved from Riverdale to Darien. Conn. Don is quite a yachtsman. He spends his summer vacation from his chores as Loan Officer of Schroder Trust Co. tacking around Long Island Sound in a slick sloop that he rents annually for the occasion.
Spring fever must have struck early in the Nutmeg State. Hank Childs has prepared for the warm weather by building a swimming pool.
This month's success stories are in the medical profession. Dr. George Guerrierri has returned to Pittsfield, Mass., to reopen his office for the practice of orthopedic surgery. George started out his medical career in Pittsfield in 1948 as a general practitioner, but left in 1951 for specialized training in orthopedics and general surgery at the Veterans' Administration and Children's Hospitals in Milwaukee, instructing at the same time at the Marquette University School of Medicine. For the last year and a half he has been chief of the orthopedic service at the Veterans' Administration Hospital in Newington, Conn. To complete the return to old familiar places, George has made his new home for his wife and two sons, Gary and David, in his home town of Stockbridge, Mass.
The winter vacationers have returned from Florida with news of the appointment of Dr.Winston K. Shorey as Associate Dean of the University of Miami Medical School, where Winston has been associate professor of medicine since 1955. The major responsibilities of this new post will be to coordinate the medical school's clinical teaching program and to develop its internal programs. Prior to coming to Miami, Doc Shorey was associated with the University of Pennsylvania Medical School staff from 1947 through 1954, as an assistant instructor, instructor, associate in medicine and assistant professor, successively. Simultaneously with this heavy schedule, he carried on a private practice, specializing in internal medicine. He's doing the same in Miami, where the Doc, Mrs. Shorey and their three-year-old daughter also make their home.
Ed McMillan's position as manager of the Boston office of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Beane, underwriters and distributors of investment securities, entails considerable adeptness at public speaking. Ed had a chance to put his talents to work recently in connection with a talk he gave to the Men's Club of the Wellesley Hills Congregational Church on "Investing in America's Future." Prior to going to Boston about a year ago, Ed served his firm well as Account Executive, Sales Promotion Manager and Branch Office Manager in Portland. Ore., and Los Angeles. He keeps in shape for his arduous assignments by being an active member of the Union Boat Club and the Manchester Bath and Tennis Club.
Three of our classmates are recent recipients of appointments to important committees established by the Trustees Planning Committee, in connection with its extensive study presently being made of Alumni relations and on other fronts. Chuck Bolte is a member of the Committee on Alumni Relations, serving as chairman of its subgroup on Communications and Public Relations and as a member of its subgroup on Intellectual Interests and Activities. Chuck's membership on the Committee on Alumni Relations merited him the well-deserved honor of a seat on the speakers' dais at the New York Class Agents' Dinner.
Dick McCornack and Snuffy Smith have been recruited by The Trustees Planning Committee to aid the Committee on Plant Development in the comprehensive review to be made of Dartmouth life. Snuffy is to serve in the dual capacity of a member of the Athletics Committee and the Student Health Committee. Dick is serving on the Athletics Committee with Snuffy.

Charlie Hadley of Lancaster, Pa., was selected to represent the College at the inauguration of the President of Franklin and Marshall College in April. Regular attendants of all the social functions of the Dartmouth Alumni Club of Louisiana in New Orleans are Bunny and Jim Keating and Elsie and Mike Gross. Last fall Jim worked with active New Orleans alumni of Cornell, Yale, Princeton and Pennsylvania, to promote an Ivy League picnic a bit further north. Hank Gunst is first in command of a committee of the Virginia Alumni Association that is charged with the important task of making a thorough reconnaissance of Richmond and environs for prospective applicants for freshmen classes.
