1933

Last month's notes were devoted to much deserved recognition of the "work horses" of our class and to factual items of interest, not only to members of our own class, but to alumni in other classes. This is in line with the MAGAZINE'S new policy to confine the secretary's notes more closely to "matters of record" and to leave the details of items of specific interest to the individual class to the Newsletter.

The growth in both the numbers of classes reporting and the sizes of recent classes, with attendant increased news coverage required, necessitates reductions in space quotas for class notes. This policy will also enable the retention of costs within reasonable limits and permit the continuance of news and articles of general alumni interest in the front section.

While it is not intended that this column become "a sure cure for insomnia," your generous understanding is requested if these notes are more in the nature of a straight secretarial report.

To conform to this new policy and yet give you complete factual and newsy coverage, your capable and enthusiastic Newsletter Editor, Bob Fox, and this "recorder of deeds" will confer monthly and apportion any in coming news accordingly. Currently, our conferences are very short. Practically, no letters have been received since reunion. We urge each of you to take pity on us by sending news of yourself and classmates, as it developslest this column shrink to shameful proportions. NOW!

We hope to hear particularly from you fellows who haven't written tor a long time or ever, from those who didn't complete the 25 Year Book biography and from those who live far from Hanover and Boston. Bob an" I live in Boston, but our hope and intent is to cover the class nationally and not just those of you we see around Boston. But, we can't do it without you. We'd like pictures too.

Now - to catch up on some old and new press clippings that space would not permit in the previous issue. You will all be glad to learn that Jack Masten, who missed reunion because of a coronary, has come around nicely and is hoping to be in almost "full harness" by the time you read this.

George Rideout, vice-president of Babson Reports, continues on the circuit speaking on "The Business Outlook."

John Monagan was nominated, by acclamation, as the Democratic candidate for Congress from the Fifth Connecticut District. Two judges, no less, withdrew when they saw "the run of the tide." John proclaimed himself "a member of the society for the prevention of cruelty to delegates," cut his acceptance speech short and invited all delegates to a party. Best of luck, John.

Carlton Burrill was recently elected president of the Brockton, Mass., University Club. Bill Lang became president of the board of trustees of the Short Hills, N. J„ Country Day School. Jim Pimper, secretary of the Federal Maritime Board and Maritime Administration, was in London earlier in the year as U. S. Advisor to the Maritime Conference on Labor Organizations and later, journied to Honolulu to speak before two groups on, "What the Federal Maritime Administration Means to an Island Community."

Al Jennings, who started with Dupont in1933, has just been made manager of theirFairfield, Conn., plant and lives at 85 Fairfield Beach Road. Hal Naramore, president ofBridgeport (Conn.) Fabrics and active inmany business and civic organizations there,was elected to the New England AdvisoryBoard of the Federal Mutual Insurance Company. In August, Bob Dickson, vice-presidentand controller of Walter Kidde and Co., Inc.,was elected president of Controllership Foundation, Inc., the research arm of the Controllers Institute of America.

Manny Sprague's resignation as AssistantSecretary of Defense for International Security Affairs is scheduled for early October.Previously, he had served as General Counselfor the Department of Defense. These twoimportant positions, plus two years war service with the Navy and five years in the Connecticut legislature, give Manny a total often years in public service - a creditable andsacrificial chunk out of any man's adult life.Our plaudits to you, Manny.

The Class will be saddened by the news of the tragic drowning of Stirl Wheeler in August and the passing of Huddy Stone in July from a heart attack. Both are reported more fully in the obituary section. Our heartfelt sympathy is extended to Page Worthington whose wife, Mary, died on August 20.

In line with a policy encouraged by the college, it is hoped that each of you, when you know in time of the death of a classmate in your area, will organize a delegation of accessible classmates and express the sympathies of the Class to the widow and family. Officially, that is the duty of the chairman or secretary, but generally we won't know in time.

It is also the secretary's duty to write, or have written by some classmate close to the deceased, an obituary, whenever a classmate dies. Our records, in many cases, are insufficient to make possible the writing of an appropriate tribute and resume of the man's life. It is hoped that each of you, upon learning of a classmate's death and in a position to do so, will advise your secretary immediately of the details of the death, information appropriate for an obituary (or an obituary) and the member of the deceased's family to whom the class sympathies should be expressed.
