1930

mainly the major item to report to the ass this month is the Hopkins Dinner held on february 5 in the Grand Ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City. The details of the dinner, I am sure, will be covered elsewhere in the MAGAZINE.

However, prior to the dinner, all the members of the Class, their wives and guests, were invited to a cocktail party given by Vic and Eleanor Borella in the Rainbow Grill of the RCA Building. This was a wonderful party, attended, so far as your secretary could tell, by everyone who later appeared at the dinner, and gave us all a delightful opportunity to have what amounted to another one of 1930's famous informal reunions, with 113 wives and husbands present, the largest delegation of any class. At the close of the cocktail party everyone went across town to the Waldorf where '30 was well represented with Nelson Rockefeller presiding and with Fred Scribner and MeadeAlcorn also on the dais. The seating list for the banquet indicated that the following from the Class were present:

Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Meade Alcorn Jr., John F Birmingham Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Blakey' Mr. and Mrs. Alan Bolte, Mr. and Mrs. Victor Borella, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Bowlen, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bowes, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur M.

Wooster and Mr. and Mrs. Eugene H. Zagat.

In addition to these, we ran into Al Fink,Les Godwin, and Kenny Johnnes at the dinner, and leaving the ballroom, ran into Charlie Raymond who, delayed in Providence by business, had arrived only in time to hear a portion of the program by way of the loudspeakers. It was a wonderful night for the Class and one that will certainly live long in the history of the College.

There were a few bits of information we picked up at the cocktail party which included the fact that Chuck Fay is coming east in the spring to take an advance management course at Harvard Business School; Wally Wasmer's boy is happily situated at St. Lawrence; Pete Davis' son is a basketball star for Brockton High; and Charlie McDonough is anxious to have all the New York area men know that there is an upcoming meeting of the Class shortly in New York.

Nelson, from the speaker's stand, pointed out with all the tact in the world, that the class with the largest representation at the dinner was "the class which followed John Dickey." The New York group which was responsible for the wonderful turnout was headed by Pete Callaway assisted by BudFrench, Charlie McDonough, Wally Blakey,Gene Zagat and Si Chandler.

Les Godwin continues to make a name for himself in the fuel business, having recentlybeen elected chairman of the Better Homes Heat Council, Inc. In addition to this, the current issue of "Fuel Oil News" features a two-page article on the modernization program which Les has established at the General Oil Company in Medford, Mass., of which he is treasurer.

Another house organ, that of W. R. Grace Company in New York, reporting on the International Industrial Development Conference in San Francisco, features on the same page pictures of two of our handsome classmates —Nelson Rockefeller, President of the International Basic Economy Corporation, who was a key speaker, arid an excellent picture of Bob Bottome listed as investment banker in Venezuela. Down in West Hartford, Conn., Manuel Glass has just been named to the Town Library Board. Manuel has been a member of the Board of Directors of the Chartered Life Underwriters' Association and in 1954 was Chairman of the C. L. U. Institute at the University of Wisconsin.

In a similar vein, the Attleboro, Mass., Chamber of Commerce has just announced the election of John Coppock as a new Director. Jack is vice president of the First National Bank in Attleboro.

Since the Bowlens live near Hanover, weare afforded the luxury of frequent attendance at the local hockey and basketballgames and were delighted at the recentPrinceton hockey game to run into the McFarlands staying at the Hanover Inn for theweek end who reported that Bud and CelieFrench also were in Hanover at that time.Scouts in Hanover also report that NormMcGrath was in Hanover in January.

Speaking of Hanover brings us to a subject close to our hearts - the editor of thismagazine who so very nicely avoids publicityabout himself. However, we had occasionrecently to corner him and Charlie Widmayerreluctantly reports as follows:

Knowing the value of ALUMNI MAGAZINE space, I write this simply because you deserve an answer and not because I expect the editor to let you get away with anything so inconsequential as the report that the Widmayers are keeping their noses to the grindstone and are doing pretty much the same old things. So long as the calendar keepsgoing and the deadlines roll around, I have my work cut out for me. An added fillip since summer has been my labor with a dozen other alumni magazine editors throughout the country to produce a special 32-page story, "American Higher Education 1958," which we will all run in April and which 140 other magazines are picking up for a total press run of 1,300,000 copies.

Larry, working part-time at the Hitchcock Hospital, is the source of that dulcet voice: "Calling Dr. Kildare, calling Dr. Kildare." Fred moves on to college next fall, and a strenuous extracurricular activity of late has been the wrestling match with application and scholarship forms. Martin, nearly 14, is the social butterfly of the family but seems able, at the same time, to float buoyantly on the academic waters. There is no floating for me, only hard running from side to side, as I keep my weekly squash date with Al Dickerson. But this, plus a little skiing and golf in the summer, has failed to keep my suit size from "trending upwards," as Martin puts it.

Here in Springfield, Vt., your secretary was delighted the other day to experience one of the few occasions of classmates coming through Springfield who were good enough to stop in to visit. This time it was Hank Newell from Concord, N. H. Hank was in town on a labor of love, to speak to the local high school seniors on the requirements and advantages of engineering. This apparently is a program Hank is active in in both New Hampshire and Vermont and is all the more laudable with the birth of the Sputnik.

We end our news for this month with the happy word that Paul Clarke has just become a general partner of Lehman Brothers, investment bankers. Paul is in charge of the Public Utility Division and has devoted a large part of his time to the development of Trans-Canada Pipeline Limited financing.
