1940

Another summer has passed, one which has undoubtedly proved to most of us that we cannot play as many holes of golf, as much tennis, or swim quite as far as in days gone by. However, other abilities in the business world continue to develop and there are a raft of promotions to announce.

Two members of 1940 have moved to Los Angeles, namely, Scotty Rogers and John Crandell. Sco is now in charge of the two O-ring manufacturing plants of Parker-Hannifin Corp., the Cleveland company with which he has been associated for some years. He now makes his home in Santa Monica. John continues in the advertising department of Time, but his area of operations has been shifted 3000 miles from New York

Gerry Schnitzer has been made vice president of the new Robert Lawrence Productions affiliate, Lawrence-Schnitzer Productions, Inc., Hollywood. He is a seventeen-year veteran of the motion picture field and has, during the past few months, won three awards from the Chicago Art Directors' Association and the Los Angeles Advertising Club. Gerry's first film efforts were as writer and director for films on the Canadian provinces produced by the Canadian government. Later he was a free lance writer and director in Hollywood and was one of the guiding lights in the production of the award winning "Naked Sea." Prior to his recent promotion, he was vice president in charge of production for Volcano Enterprises.

Still from California we learn that Jack Rourke has a new radio program called "Teen-Age Partyline," sponsored by the Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company of Los Angeles. The press release states that the program will feature beeper phone calls (whatever they are) from all over the area, with clubs to be formed in schools.

Just to show that all good news does not originate in California, we learn that Chet Ferguson has been named commercial department manager for the Vineland district of New Jersey Bell Telephone Company. Chet has been with the telephone company for twelve years.

Bill Hayes is now field sales manager for the toiletries division of Shulton, Inc. Joining the company in 1946, he takes his new job after having served as assistant to the Eastern branch manager since 1954.

Lamson Kerins has just been made assistant vice president for industrial engineering of the U. S. Steel Corporation. He makes his headquarters in Pittsburgh.

Earl Hotchkiss has opened an office in Bridgton, Me., to engage in surveying and timber cruising. He is equipped to provide deed search, plans and blueprints of house lots, wood lots, and shore developments.

Francis Whaland resigned as sales manager of the Archie Slawsby Agency in Nashua, N. H., to become a partner and general manager of the Interstate Insurance Agency in Boston. Another promotion in the, insurance field is that received by John English who has been made agency manager of the new office of the First Colony Life Insurance Company in Bethesda, Md. John has been in the insurance business for some years. He was formerly with the Mutual Benefit Life and New York Life.

On Saturday, October 4, in the morning prior to the football game with Pennsylvania in Hanover, there will be a meeting of the Class Executive Committee, which meeting will be held in one of the college rooms not yet designated. We would be delighted if all classmates who are in town for the game and who are interested would attend this meeting in order to give us the benefit of their thinking on matters that will be discussed. The time and place will be an- nounced in a stuffer which we hope to be able to enclose in the envelope with your tickets which you will receive from Hanover. This meeting will point towards the Twentieth Reunion, and we need all the help we can get. Please be there.

Secretary, Hemphill, Noyes and Co. 15 Broad St., New York 5, N. Y.

Treasurer, 88 North Main St., Concord, N. H.
