1933

The youthful group, especially the girls, pictured herewith, is made up of classmates and brides who attended the Annual Boston Alumni Dinner in January. Just to let you prove to yourselves that your memories aren't slipping and that these '33ers haven't changed in 26 years (i.e., no more than you have), we shall refrain from identifying these youngsters by position. Stop! Read no further. Look at the picture now and see how well you do.

All right, if some of you must crib, we'll clue you to the extent of an alphabetical listing: Stan and Del Colla; Don and Muggsy D'Arcy; Bob and Babe Fox; Norm and Margaret Erlandson; Clif and Bess Johnson; Whit and Ginny Kimball; Tom and Peg Maskilieson; Jim and Mary Walker and a welcome and surprise arrival, John Meek. Wil and Virginia Jaquith, plus yours truly and Jan couldn't make the party beforehand, but did make the dinner. We had the pleasure of our retiring and beloved Dean Joe McDonaid's company after dinner. With the memory of the pace we had set at reunion still fresh in his mind, his acceptance of our invitation contained some reference to "the kind of company a dean should keep."

Speaking of deans, our own John Reed (Dr. John F. to be formal) was appointed dean of the University of New Hampshire's College of Liberal Arts. John joined the faculty in 1956 as dean of the Graduate School and Coordinator of Research. Previously, he had taught at Amarillo College, BaldwinWallace and the University of Wyoming. In 1951-52, he was in the Belgian Congo as a plant ecologist for the U. S. Economic Cooperation Administration. Congratulations,

Edgar Patch writes, "For the first time since graduation, I am writing to the class secretary." (Thanks, Ed, hope the fever's catching.) After Hanover and Harvard Business School. Ed was with the E. L. Patch Co., pharmaceuticals, from 1935 to '51 when he resigned the presidency of that organization to go with Armour Laboratories. Last spring, he left his position there as general manager and bought a liquid fertilizer business in Kankakee, Ill., where he has been living in recent years. The company is now called the Kankakee Chemical Co. Ed says it is quite a switch from high mark-up items to low margin, high volume sales. Coupled with the fact that sales are highly seasonal, with 70% in April-May and the balance in October-November, this is giving him an entirely new experience in business, which is most enjoyable. Edgar is planning to concentrate on farm items and has the challenge of developing lines that will give him balanced sales throughout the year.

A nice note from Hoby Van Deusen, "Next June will find me on top of New Guinea! Home again about a year from now, after a tour of Australian and Japanese museums enjoyed every minute of reunion." This was followed by a news release from the American Museum of Natural History announcing Hoby's appointment as Assistant Curator of the Archbold Collections and Expeditions, a research division of the Department of Mammals. He will represent the Museum as mammalogist on the Sixth Archbold Expedition to New Guinea, which is being financed by a $13,500 grant from the National Science Foundation. Van has also been awarded a $1,500 grant by the Explorers Club of New York in connection with this expedition which will spend seven months in a series of collecting camps. He became a member of the Department of Mammals in 1945, took his first trip to collect a bear for the Museum's Florida Black Bear habitat group in 1946, went on Archbold expeditions to New Guinea in 1953 and Australia in 1948 as well as a trip to Colombia in 1952. Hoby is active in several organizations in his field. It is recommended that you all read his "biography" in the 25 Year Book. Here is one man who has found a way around this maddening world, yet made a lasting contribution to its cultural betterment.

From Duke University comes word of Dr.Henry Weitz, Director of Testing and Guidance and Associate Professor of Education. Henry has just completed an extensive survey of counselor and employment policies and practices in the 48 states. The results of this study appeared in a recent issue of "The Personnel and Guidance Journal." It is the most recent of many articles that he has had published in professional journals. One of his conclusions in this current article, "The fact that a trained guidance technician does not also hold a teaching certificate should not bar his employment by the public schools." He points out that 67% of those polled admitted a shortage of trained guidance counselors yet 79% of our states will not employ counselors unless they have teaching certificates - this despite the effective work being done by these "certificateless" technicians in "non-school settings." Henry has devoted his whole post-Hanover days to education and psychology, having studied at Columbia, received his Ph.D. at Rutgers, taught in Rahway, N. J., and served as the Director of the Psychological Service Center of the University of Delaware, after his war service here and in Europe as a major in the Adjutant General's department in personnel and psychology.

Thanks to all you good folks who sent Christmas greetings. Reminiscent of Reunion was one from Ed and Estelle Grenier showing them and their three youngsters in front of Dartmouth Hall plus a clever sketch by Ed of a 1902 (?) Rambler.

From Ken Jacques comes word of one of our long lost brethren, Wallis Ayres whose present address is 717 Paseo Del Mar, Palos Verdes Estates, Calif. Ken writes, "After leaving Dartmouth, Wally went to sea for a few years, lived in Hawaii about six years and then went to the University of California in engineering, I believe, and is working in that field at the present time." Thanks, Ken. Glad we relocated you, Wally. Hope you'll find time to fill us in on the details of this brief sketch.
