1945

Class Reunion - The 14th Hanover —June 19, 20, 21

As you have read, the Class of 1945 will have a Memorial Weather Post on the Inn Corner. Although all the Executive Committee were involved in one way or the other, this plan was in reality brought to fruition through the efforts of your Chairman, Harry Hampton, with a large assist from Ellie Mover and Joe Michael. All three worked hard on the idea and there it will be come June 20. I feel it means a lot to this widespread class to have such a representation and sincerely hope it meets your approval and support.

Thought I would make the Boston gathering of alumni for the annual dinner but was mistaken. But Irv Graves has come nicely to my rescue with a rather complete report on the goings-on. This was the first time that the Boston Alumni Association has invited the wives to attend, and from what I gather the new look was a successful one. Irv reports that those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Sumner Dorfman, Mr. and Mrs. Ted Smith,Johnnys Brooks and Leggat, and Irv's fiancee, Miss Ann MacFarlane. Irv goes on to say, "Prominent at the head table was NickSandoe, who was lauded to the heights for his collection of a million; seven hundred thousand to date toward the Capital Fund of the College." Also, conspicuous by his absence was Moe Frye.

And now to the pre-reunion info, that I promised for your mental files. Parker L.Coddington has just been named Vice-President of the Reading Laboratory, Inc., with offices in New York, London, Philadelphia, and Santa Barbara, Calif. Prior to this appointment, Parker spent five years teaching at Wesleyan and at Case Institute. He has a Master's degree from Yale. As you have all undoubtedly read in the newpapers and newsmagazines, Howard Brundage has been named President of the New York Herald Tribune, replacing Ogden Reid. Dr. Bob Joy serves as chief of pediatrics at the new pediatrics clinic in Danbury, Conn. Nelson Craver now teaches sixth grade level in Foxboro, Mass. Bob Allen, erstwhile Assistant Secretary of the College, now resides in Lincoln from whence he commutes to his new position as the first full-time public relations director for the Kendall Company, Boston. In as much as Carol shops frequently in Concord, our paths occasionally cross. Tom Davidson lives in Garden City but commutes to The City where he is a security analyst with Bacon Stevenson at 39 Broadway. Dick Momsen is associated with the geography department of the University of Minnesota. Fred Perry of Carrasco, Uruguay, is a wool exporter. Ole, senor. In North Greenwich, Conn., lives Howie MacCurdy whose business connections are with the Overseas Division of General Motors. And that's all there's time for this month. Keep your notebooks carefully and you'll amaze the assembled multitudes with your photographic memory.

You've heard from the Grand Sachem. Heed his smoke signals. June is just around the corner, and there's nothing but fun and blue sky on the horizon. Next issue should have a record of early and eager "I'm-comings" for you to peruse. Get your name on the list. See you soon and keep your eyes peeled for further info, re reunion from the Grand Sachem, the Newsletter, or from SEC. The balloon goes up in June. Be aboard!
