1928
John Neary, co-editor of that invaluable publication "The '28 Campaigner" for the past ten years, has been appointed a vice president of John C. Dowd, Inc., a Boston advertising agency. He has been an account executive with the agency for several years.
The senior counsellor of the Institute for International Social Research, Hadley Cantril, of Princeton, N. J., spent last November in the Soviet Union where he went with a few other psychologists to talk with Russian colleagues. He just wrote us:
"I should have long ago written to tell you of the wonderful time I had with George Bell in Hong Kong last February. It turned out that I landed there on their New Year's Eve and was able to participate in various festivities that the Bells were kind enough to take me to. They also had me as their guest in their idyllic home and from my bedroom window. I had the superb view for which Hong Kong is famous."
Attending the annual Boston Alumni Dinner at the Hotel Statler on Jan. 21 in spite of very stormy weather were: Mutt and Mary Jennings, Craig and Eleanor Haines, Red and Charlotte Edgar, Jack and Pearl Phelan, Jack and Frances Kenerson, Larry Martin, Don Norris, John Neary and Cal Billings, a visitor from Connecticut who stayed overnight with Craig Haines in Milton. This was Mutt's swansong as president of the ancient Boston Alumni Association —he was succeeded by Bill Cusack '27. At the meeting, Jack Kenerson was elected third vice president.
Brougham Wallace has been elected to the board of the Orange (N. J.) Savings Bank. He is a vice president of the Guaranty Trust Co. which is in the process of merging with J. P. Morgan & Co. He will now be working for the same bank as Bill Hobson, who is a Trust Officer of J. P. Morgan & Co.
For the first time in '28 annals, we have the pleasure of announcing a wedding uniting two '28 families. Miss Mary Virginia Heep, daughter of Bill and Gertrude Heep, of Bronxville, N. Y., was married Jan. 31 to Richard Van Riper, son of Lawson and Kay Van Riper of Oxford, Conn., at St. John's Church, Colonial Heights, Yonkers. Elizabeth Ann Heep was maid of honor for her sister. The bride will complete her senior year at Skidmore College this June. Dick graduated from Dartmouth in 1957 and is employed by the American Brass Co. in Ansonia, Conn., where the couple will live after the bride's graduation.
On the same day and at the same hour, John Ballou Phillips, son of John and Peggy Phillips of Montclair, N. J., and Miss Janet Cook, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Russell M. Cook of Montclair were being married in the Central Presbyterian Church in Montclair. The bride is a graduate of Kimberly School and Vassar College. John graduated last June from Dartmouth where he was elected to Psi U and Casque & Gauntlet (just like his dad) and was crew captain. He is with Esso Standard Oil Co. The couple went to Nassau, Bahamas, on their wedding trip.
"The Square Egghead," a TV comedy by Lou Pelletier will be presented on March 11 on the United States Steel Hour over C. B. S. with June Lockhart and Tom Elwell in the leading roles. Oddly enough, Lou's play will be televised the night of the '28 dinner in New York —March 11. Lou lives in Pawling, N. Y., claims to live on Milltowns and Martinis and seldom goes to New York (says he hates the city). Hank Walker is chairman of the big '28 dinner to be held at the Dartmouth Club in New York on March 11. Hope to see you there.
Elly Jones is living in Cave Creek, Ariz., 30 miles north of Phoenix, where he sells life insurance for the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Co. He says they went to Arizona in September and he didn't intend to do any work, but found that that gets monotonous and he is back on a 5-day week work schedule. He and Nellie plan to live in Chicago 4 or 5 months a year and the balance of the time in Arizona. Ellis Jr. is working in the Chicago area and daughter Alice is teaching nursery school at Hull House in Chicago.
The Financial Report of Dartmouth College 1957-1958 shows (page 40) that the Howard M. Chapin 1928 Memorial Fund is $19,258 and that net income for 1957-58 was $1,147 which went toward support of the Daniel Webster National Scholarships. On page 45 we note that the Paul R. Kruming 1928 Memorial now stands at $344.42.
Hank Milton was appointed sales manager of the Plastics and Resins Division of the American Cyanamid Co. on January 1. Hank has been with Cyanamid twenty years and has been most recently manager of the process chemicals department.
Gov. Lane Dwinell was honored at a testimonial dinner in Manchester Jan. 1 by some 350 friends. U. S. Senators Styles Bridges and Norris Cotton were present and messages from President Eisenhower, Secretary of the Treasury R. B. Anderson and Gov.-elect Wesley Powell were read. A number of gifts were presented to Lane and Betty, including a console television set, recordings of the speeches at the dinner, and, in recognition of Lane's interest in railroading, a monkey wrench that was used on the first locomotive to operate from Boston to Woodsville in 1848.
One of the most popular members of the class, Charlie Dickinson, died Jan, 14 in Tucson, Ariz., where he had gone several months ago because of ill health. The sympathy of the entire class goes to Frances Ann and their son and other members of Charlie's family. An "In Memoriam" note will appear in this or a later issue of this MAGAZINE.
