1950
The occasions for returning to Hanover are altogether too tew and too far between. This first weekend in May has been one of them for your class officers, however, in order to attend our annual meetings. While yesterday's bright sunshine is all but forgotten in today's rainy downpour, we're having a good round of meetings and enjoying Dartmouth fellowship again.
Comments on the conclaves and results of our deliberations will, of course, be passed along to you later. Meanwhile, let's pass along to the business at hand lined up by ...
THE HITCHING POST
The month of April afforded three stalwarts of 1950 an opportunity to increase the number of members in our clan. On the nineteenth John Schalles and Elizabeth Cummings LaMontagne were wed in Syracuse, N.Y. Last time we heard, John was residing in Evanston, Ill.
The first of two nuptials performed on April 12 involved Bob McIlwain and Joan Phyllis Swenson in Montclair, N.J. Joan is a Smith gal and Crash collects his stipend periodically from McKinsey & Co., New York management consultants. Other Injuns participating included ushers Jack Harned, MaiHill, and Ben Johnson, as well as 49ers Rog Atwood and Lou Farrar. Seen among the distinguished (?) guests were two other older Dartmouths, Dud Burch and Bill Jones of 1949, and Rick Miller, the Clift Whitemans and Dick and Liz Hollands.
On the same day in Cleveland, Rev. Dick Trump married Joan Louise Burge. The bride is a graduate of Bradford J. C. and Mary Washington College. She's now doing graduate work at Western Reserve. Dick graduated from the Theological Seminary of the University of Chicago and is minister of the Glenville Congregational Church.
INFANT INFO
The only new papoose revealed to us in the past few weeks is a second son for the Paul Lena family. Paul Jay (not "Junior") was born March 13 in Oklahoma where his daddy is finishing out a hitch with Uncle You-Know-Who. Next fall comes another sort of hitch, Mary Hitchcock in Hanover for completion of medical residency. Paul says the welcome mat will be out for visiting firemen.
GRAPEVINE REPORTS
One of the nicest bits of news collected of late tells that Dave Davis, assistant professor of history at Cornell, has been awarded a 1958-59 Guggenheim Fellowship to study the American antislavery movement. This investigation, undoubtedly, will stop short of seeking answers to the elimination of dishwashing duties among male members of married couples.
Bud Veghte has skipped town. In fact, he flew the coop last fall and can be reached care of Deltec SA, Caixa Postal #4778, Sao Paulo, Brazil.... The Tom Ringes sojourned in the Hanover Inn in March.... Izzie Stahl is reported on le grand tour and has included visits to ski countries, Hank Barnes in Ithaca, and the Ozzie Osborn entourage in Cleveland.
Howard Lawrence has been elected vice president of Loucks & Norling Studios, Inc., New York. Howie's firm is one of the oldest in the business of producing industrial and Government films.
Red Holley has been named baseball coach at Commerce High School in Springfield, Mass.... Phil See is continuing to keep the National Shawmut Bank in good financial shape and now gets his mail in Marblehead. Says he's seen Sherm Clough back in bean town for another market research post at G. E.
Donald J. Hall has been elected administrative vice-president of Hallmark Cards in Kansas City. Don has been a director of the company since 1956 and for the past three years was assistant to the president. Recently he was named a director of the Commerce Trust Co. and holds a similar post on the boards of the Kansas City Association of Trusts and Foundations, and Science Pioneers, Inc.
In Baltimore recently we called Bill Clark but found him off traveling for Peterson, Howell & Heather, a transportation outfit in the city. Bill's wife, Agnes, reported there are two boys in the family, young Bill who's four in September, and a baby a year and a half old. And if we understood correctly, Bill logged five years with the wild blue yonder group.
Ralph Muehlig is industrial relations manager at the Westinghouse Electric Corp. plant in Edison, N. J. Ralph recently addressed the Raritan Valley Industrial Management Club on the subject of "Labor Relations: A Joint Responsibility."
Tom Doxsee is one of the youngest directors ever selected for the Board of the Mutual Agents Association and in January was named Agent of the Month among 1100 insurance agents. Tom operates the Goodelle and Bates agency in Minoa, N. Y.
That will have to suffice until autumn, gentlemen. Before you abandon the home-front for a session at a favorite retreat, be sure you've made a contribution to the Alumni Fund. Ted Bamberger's men will give you the whole story, but just remember that Dartmouth's current needs will still be filled largely through the Alumni Fund. 'Nuff said?
We'd like to see you when you get within striking distance of the address above. Barring that, drop us a postcard, and in any event, have a good summer.
Secretary,: 71 Tompkins Ave. Pleasantville, N.Y.
