1929
We have heard that Bob Monahan has two articles, "Dartmouth Skiway" and "The Calvin Coolid<re Homestead" in New England Journeys No. 6.
Karl Michael has had another good swimming season with a 7-3 record, the team being captained by John Graf, son of Kennie Graf '28. History repeats, too, inasmuch as Karl had son Bob as one of his top divers this past season.
Art Nighswander, as president of the Laconia (N.H.) Hospital association, took part recently in one of the most unique projects in New Hampshire, occasioned by a series of gifts to the hospital by the Laconia Lions for the treatment of almost all types of optical injury.
Ben Stacey shared the platform with Gov. Lane Dwinell '28 of New Hampshire at the 130th quarterly meeting of the New England Council in Providence, R.I. Ben, assistant vice president of the business research department of the First National Bank of Boston predicted that New England's population will grow by 600,000 by 1965 and also predicted a "modest upturn" in the current recession "before 1958 ends, probably late in the third or early in the fourth quarter."
Dick Barrett and Squeek Redding were recently named to the Greater Boston Special Gifts Committee for the College's forthcoming Development Campaign.
Frank Kenison, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New Hampshire gave an address, recently, before the faculty and students of Boston University's School of Law. He declared: "Today the heretofore established rules are being tested and evaluated and consquently are subject to change. This is indeed a challenging task, for it is not sufficient to learn what the law is, but the student has to consider whether the law meets the demands of a modern, advanced society."
"The Board" in the Hanover Inn has, in recent months, carried the names of FredArmstrong, Duke Barto, Ed Fowler, Mike Sherman and Frank Small - lucky fellows.
Information has been received that Chuck Darling is now Promotion Manager at the Beacon Press in Boston and that his new home address is 3 Langdon St., Cambridge 38. Also, a new address for Dick Exton - a 124 Clairmont Road, N.E., Decatur, Ga.
Word has come from the West Coast that Jim Hodson, judge of the Superior Court due to his outstanding service in safety work became the first winner of a new safety award, the Kenneth Colman perpetual plaque, at the annual dinner of the Seattle-King County Safety Council. Jim was, at one time, president of the council and was one of its founders. Incidentally, Jim has completed ten years on the Superior Court, is sixth in order of seniority with twelve judges junior to him, and is, at present, Presiding Judge due to rotation of this position on a seniority basis. In a different vein - for those who are not aware of it — Jim and Hessie's daughter, Betsy, is finishing her freshman year at Skidmore.
Your scribe and wife had the pleasure of attending a science teachers' meeting in Denver, Colo., the last week in March which also provided the opportunity to have short, but exceedingly pleasant visits with Bill Condon, Harry Lewis, Art Rydstrom and Ralph Sherberg. With very little free time from the planned schedule of the meeting, we were very lucky to have Bill take us by his house to meet Willa and daughters Karen and Ann on the way to the airport. We look forward to the possibility of seeing Karen again if she comes East to college next fall. Harry was tied up with the annual tax return siege, but was able to inform us that Margretta was recovering nicely after being hit by an automobile several weeks before. His son Harry will finish his tour with the Navy in June; he and his wife will probably be coming back to Denver and the accounting business. Art and Harriet had us out for a delightful dinner and we learned that they were about to take off for a European tour which was to include the fun of playing a goodly number of golf courses from the south of France to Scotland, as the weather warmed up ahead of them. Ralph took time out between patients to come over to the hotel for lunch with us. We certainly hope that we will have the pleasure of seeing these families in Hanover at the 30th Reunion in i960. (Note: i960 is correct, not 1959 this time, due to the "staggered" reunion schedule which brings us back with our contemporaries rather than the classes five years before and after us.)
