For your Date Book —June 9-10-11-1958- Reunion - Hanover Plain. See you there?
We have finally caught up with Stanley Stratton who has retired after years of service with the Minnesota & Ontario Paper Company. His present address is 2 Ramparte East, Route 2, Media, Penna., c/o R. B. Davis. When you read these notes, the Class Officers' Weekend for 1958 will have passed into history. If the affair only equals those we have been privileged to attend, superlatives are necessary to express the uplift (mental, moral, & physical - shades of Craven Laycock's course in argumentation and debate!) which results from being present at these meetings. Quotation from The Town Gossip of Wellesley, Mass.: "New Orleans, Mexico City, Acapulco, Guatemala City, Chichicastenango, Antigua - these are some of the enchanting stop-overs planned by our Travelin' Man, Herb Austin." Herb is back again now waiting for the summer before taking off again.
A Memorial Service in honor of L.D. White was held at the University of Chicago's Rockefeller Memorial Chapel, April 11, '58. LD's final volume of his study on American administrative history has been published posthumously. It is entitled "The Republican Era, 1869-1901" and completes the series which included "The Federalists," "The Jeffersonians," and "The Jacksonians."
The grapevine let us down when we reported Ellsworth Buck in Africa. He reports: "Our peregrinations were confined to Florida and Eleuthera in the Bahamas. We froze in the former but did enjoy two weeks of warm, sunny weather in the latter." At the risk of making this sound "anti-Florida," a nice letter came in from Arizona where the HodPotters went in December expecting to stay four months. Decided to buy a house and stay there six months, coming back East for the other half year. He says "Phoenix is full of refugees from Florida, and the only reason there are not more is because of sheer ignorance. If any Floridian wants some good advice have him get in touch with me." Sends his best wishes to all, and would be happy to hear from any and all. The address is: 1410 West Glenn Drive, Phoenix, Ariz.
"Pioneering isn't Gambling" says Young & Rubicam's Sig Larmon in the Monday Memo, from "Broadcasting-Telecasting," Washington, D.C. in February. Sig talks authoritatively and interestingly of the various experiments in the type of television productions which have, and have not, been successful as advertising media. It is reported that FreddieDavidson and wife were at the Hanover Inn earlier in the year. SEE YOU IN JUNE!
