1941

Tempus fugit! And with it, the passing of the World Series, elections and the rapidly waning 1958 collegiate gridiron season. There's sorrow in Mudville tonight — I mean Milwaukee - thanks to "ole Casey." But don't despair all you "guys and dolls" from out Milwaukee way. There is always next year. Besides you had your chance last year. We easterners deserve a break once in awhile.

At least we all have one thing in common this fall - the enthusiasm for the victory trail being blazed by the Big Green Eleven. With the coming of "turkey-time" we all also share the common wish for a very Happy Thanksgiving for all.

Recently announcements of promotions and appointments of classmates to positions of prestige have been coming to me in dribs and drabs, with the details following at a later date. Thus I feel that I should avail myself of the opportunity to fill in the gaps in the earlier reports of the recent good fortune of Ed Tanzi and Don Taber.

Ed Tanzi was chosen headmaster of Winnacunnet High School from a field of 25 applicants. His outstanding achievements in the educational field merited him the distinction of being the unanimous choice of the regional school board for this position. Ed received his master of arts' degree from Teachers College, Columbia University, in the field of secondary school administration. He has completed all requirements for his doctorate in education except the final project work. His professional preparation has been directed, in all its phases, toward the administration of secondary schools, principally at Enfield High School in New Hampshire and then at Valley Stream High School in New York, where Ed was assistant principal for the past four years.

Don Taber's relentless crusading for city government in Lebanon, N. H., recently won him the interim appointment of mayor of that "fair" city. Don thus became Lebanon's second mayor. He got his feet wet by serving as assistant mayor since the establishment of the new government in January of this year. When Don runs for reelection he will have his own campaign committee right in the family; his wife, Betty, being a local girl, will be ably aided by a doorbell ringing squad of four little Tabers.

Another civic leader of our favorite state is Hank Frechette. Active in his home town of Keene, N. H., as chairman of the building committee of the Y.M.C.A., Hank was one of the illustrious participants in the recent ground breaking ceremony for the Y.M.C.A. construction project.

Tom Willers was recently elected treasurer of Hooker Chemical Limited of North Vancouver, British Columbia, producers of chlorine and caustic soda. Tom is vice president of the parent U. S. firm of Hooker Chemical Corporation of Niagara Falls, N. Y., his home town.

The willingness to lend a helping hand to a fellow in need is certainly not lacking among 41'ers. Horse trainer, Ed Stone, wrote to me about the helping hand he received from Monte Winship. Dick Sawyer, Unc Richardson and Art Hills in connection with a recent lawsuit.

Bob Thorne, of the Department of Botany of the University of lowa is quite an author. He recently wrote for Brittania an article entitled "Some Guiding Principles of Angiosperm Phylogeny." He also contributed to an article in the Plant Science Bulletin entitled "Suggested Outline for Teaching Systematic Botany."

Ed Patterson of Tulsa, Okla., was recently elected president of the Downtown Tulsa Kiwanis Club. Ed is treasurer of Patterson Steel Co. He is very active in Dartmouth affairs in Tulsa, along with Jack Bates and Ray Hall, who are reported to be prospering mightily.

AROUND THE HORN: Capt. Dick Jachens has returned to the good old U.S.A. from Tokyo for a new assignment. He is now living in Arlington, Va Dr. George Clabaugh, a resident of Chicago, is in private practice and a clinical assistant in medicine at Northwestern University Medical School. Ashley Pace is president of the Gulf Paper Co., Inc., of Pensacola, Ha., where he also resides. Dan Provost is now Public Relations Director for Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co. Jack Becker is president of B. B. Trailer Sales, Inc., of Detroit, Mich. Everett Lord-Wood is now employed in the office of the Town Planner of good old White River Junction, Vt. Harry Patterson is president of Patterson, Flynn & Johnson, Inc., of New York City. He recently moved from Maplewood, N. J., to Westfield, N. J.

Whenever an all-out effort for Dartmouth is underway, 41'ers always put their shoulders to the wheel. The Capital Gifts Campaign is certainly no exception, which already has on its roll of honor many generous donors, and which has obtained many enthusiastic workers from among our ranks. Hank Gunst is a co-chairman of the special gifts campaign for the Richmond, Va., area. Bob Hess is a team captain. Just to mention a couple. Incidentally Bob is an "old hand" at fund raising. At the moment he is busily at work on the Second Century Development Program of Lenox Hill Hospital of New York City for his employer, Marts & Lundy, professional fund raisers.

This is the month for giving thanks for our many blessings. In view of this, may I respectfully urge that our class demonstrate the enviable record of having every classmate show his thanks to Dartmouth by giving to the Capital Gifts Campaign as generously as his means will permit.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

Secretary, 26 Broadway, New York 4, N. Y.

Treasurer, 30 Summit St., Chestnut Hill Philadelphia 18, Pa.
