1941
Ideal football weather at New Haven on November 1 turned out 42,000 sun worshippers to see the Big Green squelch Eli's second halt rally. Many 41'ers were on hand to sweat out the first Dartmouth victory over Yale in five years. Bruce and Kathy Friedlich were, as usual, gracious hosts to an unruly weekend contingent consisting of Bob and Winnie Tepper, Dick and Polly Hill, Don and Pat Stillman, Frank and Su Hall and Dan and Baillie Provost. My better-half and I also had the privilege of joining the happy throng. Don and Pat Stillman had just returned from a very enjoyable combined business and pleasure trip to California. Tep is still hard at work in his Asbury Park, N. J., department store. Danny had just returned from a week of passing out cigarettes in Richmond, Va., with U. S. Marshal Matt Dillon, alias James Arness. Dick is hastily climbing to the pinnacle of success with the First National Bank of Boston. Bruce is very pleased with the progress his recently established advertising concern is evidencing. Crooner Mouse Hall was too busy serenading the ladies to bring me up to date on his latest successes in the same field in the canyons of Wall Street.
Also seen applying the Skol to avoid Indian summer sunburns were Bob and Alice Taft,Snuffy and Fran Smith, Win and Janet Watson, Felix Lilienthal, Hank Childs, Buz Willis, George Seel, Gordon Ide and Dr. LarryBarnett.
Win Watson, also in advertising, is creative director of G. M. Basford Agency of New York City, the largest of industrial advertising agencies. He organized his concern's copy department, having been with his present employer for four years, starting as an accounts man. Win, also a Conn, resident, commutes to the "Big City" from New Canaan. He and Janet have a thirteen-year-old daughter who is quite an artist and an eight-year-old boy named after his dad. Win, along with George Tamlyn, have been serving as a captain and team member respectively in connection with the Capital Gifts Campaign.
George has been with the National Securities and Research Corp. of New York City since July, 1957, as a fund executive. In addition to managing a sixty-four million dollar mutual fund, George is a specialist in the analysis of securities of public utility and machinery companies. George came to his present company from the investment department of the Equitable Life Assurance Society. The Dodgers may have deserted Brooklyn, but not George. He, Faye, their three girls and son still reside in the home borough.
Coincidental with news of participation in fund drives and of the recent doings at New Haven, comes news from that fair city about the appointment of Bill Hotaling as vice chairman of the industrial division of its United Fund — Red Cross campaign. Bill has served in United Fund drives as a team captain since 1952. He has been with Bethlehem Steel Company for seventeen years. He just com- pleted a special six months' assignment with the U. S. Government on loan from his com- pany.
As in football, so in elections - to the victor belongs the spoils. But to Monk Larson there should go a reverberating round of applause for the relentless battle he waged in the Republican stronghold of Nassau County for election to Congress. Monk campaigned hard every day from morning to night. He shook hands with commuters at railroad stations in the morning, gave souvenir shopping bags to housewives at supermarkets during the day and debated key issues at evening political rallies. Barbara often drove Monk on his electioneering tours, with the four children piled in the back seat. His rival, an "old pro," knew he had a fight on his hands. As a result of Monk's herculean efforts, the margin of victory was much slimmer than predicted.
In order to spice up his radio and television shows, Arthur Godfrey recently hired Dick Krolik, as a public relations expert. Dick is accumulating a lot of flying time these days hopping around the country in "Goldie's" fifteen-seat plush private plane placating photographers and reporters.
Prof. Dick McCornack, whose article on "Unrest in Latin America" appeared in the last issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, recently authored two other articles, which appeared in the May issue of Foreign Service Journal and the June issue of New Hampshire Profiles. I have also been informed via the grapevine that Chuck D'Olive recently wrote a novel. Chuck, also in advertising, is with the J. Walter Thompson Company of New York City. Before coming to New York, Chuck was manager of client public relations for the San Francisco advertising agency of Foote, Cone, & Belding, Inc. He is also a Conn., resident, making his home in Cos Cob.
The Dartmouth Club of Mystic Valley, Mass., of which Art Hills is a newly elected Director, was recently host to Snuffy Smith as its guest speaker at the semi-annual dinner. Snuffy demonstrated to his captive audience how inflation has affected college athletics.
Bill and Sally Reeder are charter members of the new Permian Basin Dartmouth Club of West Texas and Southeast New Mexico. Over New Orleans way, Jim and BunnyKeating are regular participants in the activities of the Dartmouth Club of Louisiana. Up north, Bill Danforth recently promoted a clambake for the Dartmouth Group of the Boothbay Harbor, Me., Region.
Tempus fugit! Another year is rapidly drawing to a close and once again it s time for Mom to press the pretty red ribbon for the wreath on the front door; and for Dad to dust off the punch bowl and dig out his favorite recipe for holiday cheer. When the time comes for the toasts of the Holiday Season, may I join each and every one of you in a special libation for a very Merry Christmas and most Happy and Prosperous New Year for all.
