Michael McGean '49, the very efficient assistant secretary of the College, who is always being extremely helpful to this secretary says this is the best weekend of the winter as far as the sports schedule is concerned. It should be an ideal breather after the rush and confusion of the holiday season. The snow is usually at its best at this time of the year and the new ski operation at Holt's Ledge should attract many of our number. Every year we entice new faces to our midwinter reunion. After coming just once they never have to be urged again. Our speakers have always been top-notch at our banquet. We promise an excellent one this year.
Our delayed 35th reunion is scheduled for June 15-16-17. Howie Sammis, our reunion chairman, is scurrying around the country talking with the chairmen of former reunions and making some very interesting plans. He will make his first announcements in the February issue. Watch for this and start planning on a trip to Hanover in June.
The White family certainly produce bankers if Samuel and Carleton are any indication. In the New York Times of February 10, 1957, we learned of the appointment of Sam as assistant secretary of the United States Trust Company of New York after thirty years of service. Sam writes that banking business in his bank is very active - with first the recession, then the worry concerning government finances and the drop in government bonds and now the recent improvement in the economy. Sam is active in the supervision of a group of trust and management accounts.
In 1931 Sam married Mildred Van Blarcom. Their daughter Elizabeth married Alan C. Saunders, a theatrical producer and director, in September of 1957.
The Whites and Rube Winchesters had a fine reunion at the White home on the Georgian Bay in Canada a year ago last summer.
In the November 14, 1958 issue of the New York Times appears a picture of Carl White with the announcement of the election of H. Carlton White as vice president of the Bankers Trust Company. Carl is head of the finance companies group. He joined the credit department of Bankers Trust in 1944 and was elected an assistant treasurer in 1951 and an assistant vice president in 1954.
Your editor is happy to have information about Carl after an absence of 28 years from these columns. For those visiting the financial district of New York City Carl can be found at 16 Wall Street and Sam at 54 Wall Street.
The editor's cup is running over and he is extremely happy that he can report, in these columns, on eight members of the class who have never been mentioned in the MAGAZINE.
