1941
Shortly after the June 1958 issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE went to press, I received word from Charlie P. Hadley, of Lancaster, Penna., that he had not died, as I reported in the June issue, but was vigorously alive. As Class Secretary, one of my jobs is to collect news to write news. The news received from classmates is generally accurate and informative. Unfortunately, there are exceptions to every rule. Naturally the authenticity ]of all news items cannot be investigated. Thus there are occasional slip-ups, against which there is no guarantee. I am very sorry that this unfortunate incident occurred. My apologies to you, Charlie, to your family, and to all your friends in the Class of '41 disturbed by this misinformation. For once it was a pleasure to be in error.
This is the time of year that the political bandwagons are rumbling along the highways and by-ways. There always seems to be a certain number of '41ers aboard. At the opening day of the Nassau County Fair I encountered Monk Larson stumping for election to .the U. S. House of Representatives in Washington, D. C., on the Democratic ticket. Monk is very confident that he will be victorious on Election Day. Good luck, Monk! Don Taber got a head start on most political aspirants by getting himself elected Mayor of Lebanon, N. H.
In an election with a different flavor, Ed Marlette recently won the post of membership on the board of directors of the National Association of Metal Finishers, an international organization of metal finishing firm owners and operators. Ed qualified for this important position by virtue of his excellent performance as general manager of Marlette Plating Co., Inc., of Buffalo, N. Y. He has served as past president of the Western N. Y. Assn. of Metal Finishers and was one of the nation's top membership drive leaders in a recent campaign. Despite this heavy work load, Ed is also engaged in numerous civic, community and educational projects. He is a member of the board of directors of his old alma mater, Nichols Preparatory School, of the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Manufacturers, and the American Electroplaters Society. Ed is also active in the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Western N. Y. and the Little League. He must be jet-propelled. I am sure that Norma and the five children will agree.
Harris Richardson of Winchester, Mass., recently became associated with Eaton and Howard, Incorporated, a Boston investment management firm, as an assistant vice president. For the past twelve years Harris has been associated with the Old Colony Trust Company of Boston. Since 1954 he has served in the dual capacity as an investment officer of the Old Colony Trust Company and trust investment officer of the First National Bank of Boston. He is also President of the Dartmouth Mystic Valley Club, a Selectman in Winchester, and a member of the Investment Committee of the Winchester Home for the Aged.
Another one of our financial wizards, Ed Anderberg, was recently installed as president of the White Plains, N. Y., Y's Men's Club. Ed has been affiliated with the YMCA since childhood.
Also from up Westchester way comes news of Frank Nye's new venture, a branch store in Bedford Village. Frank has owned and operated the Corners Shop in Pound Ridge for the past six years. His stores feature a complete line of sporting goods. Prior to going into business for himself, Frank was employed in the sporting goods business in White Plains for nine years. Being one for mixing business with pleasure, he has been active in Little League and Babe Ruth League activities.
Nor is the educational field devoid of advancement these days. Witness, Arnold Bartlett, who was recently named Principal of Hingham High School of Hingham, Mass. Arnold went to Hingham with ten years of administrative experience, having served as Principal of Sharon High School for three years and Principal of Sanborn Seminary in Kingston, N. H., for seven years prior to that. During 1947 and 1948 he was the head of the English Department of Chicago Latin School and from 1945 to 1947 he taught English and mathematics at Hillsboro, N. H. Despite this record of fine achievement, Arnold's proudest accomplishment is that of being the father of nine children.
Dr. Gene Stollerman, of Glencoe, Ill., an associate professor of medicine at Northwestern University's Medical School, recently received a $5500 grant from the Glen view United Fund to continue his research on rheumatic fever. Gene is principal investigator at Northwestern for a foundation established for research in rheumatic fever and allied diseases.
Dr. John Lockwood, Professor of Physics at the University of New Hampshire, was the keynote speaker at the New Hampshire Science Fair in April. The subject of his address to New Hampshire high school students was "The International Geophysical Year Without Sputnik." John is currently doing research at the University of New Hampshire on cosmic ray intensities with time. His work involves continuous measurements of cosmic rays on Mt. Washington. During World War II, he worked on nuclear research at Oak Ridge. Subsequent to that he conducted research work on the high energy electron accelerator at Yale.
The frost is on the Jack-O-Lantern and the football season is here again. On subsequent Saturdays there will be many gatherings of the clan, at which choice bits of information about classmates will be disseminated from one bent elbow to another. Please do not let it stop there. Even though postal rates have recently increased, I certainly would appreciate it being passed on to me.
Secretary, 26 Broadway, New York 4, N. Y.
