1938
Bill Heydt and Pat Gorman were in Hanover over Freshman Fathers' weekend at February's end. I had stationwagonned there with four Cleveland High School lads who have hopes for the Class of 1963. Young Bill Heydt is a strapping six-foot-pluser who held down one of the football ends on the Yearling Club. Young Pat earned his hockey numerals. Both boys are doing fine while their fathers purr with pride.
I spent a lot of time with many different boys on this visit. Also had some time with Eddie Chamberlain '36, Ort Hicks '21, Charlie Widmayer '30, John Scotford, and football coaches, Bob Blackman and Jack Musick. Was also lucky in catching Red Rolfe '31 for a word.
I got a good look at the dorm and academic life and saw a good section of the sports program. My conclusion is that Dartmouth enjoys an all-time peak of quality performance. President Dickey, in my opinion, is achieving through fine leadership the goal of preeminence for the College. The plant is improved and everyone is excited about the expansion program beginning with the erection of the Hopkins Center. The faculty is strong and morale everywhere seems high. New outdoor facilities, such as the five-course Ski-way near Lyme, are springing up all around the area.
And the dozen or more boys I saw - well, they're great kids. And they're thinking about things in Hanover and abroad; thinking hard. My conclusion from this trip is that I'm just a lucky guy that I went to Dartmouth when I did. It could be that I would never make it now. All the lads say it's tough.

They call him the Big Green Pepperpot alumnus in Hartford, Conn., but he is Eddie Perrin on the record. We don't know the diagnosis, but hear Eddie is recovering from surgery. "Doing nicely," the Hartford Courant says in a news note. That's the way we want it. Eddie has caught many a foul tip before.
Leighton Tuck used to play some good baseball in Lynnfield Center, Mass., and at Hanover. Then he went to Tuck School and into banking. First he worked near home with the East Cambridge Savings Bank in Massachusetts. After the Air Corps in World War II he joined the California Bank in Los Angeles. Recently they made him a vice president in the Real Estate Loan Department.
Another member of the Class in the banking world is Augustus Southworth. He was named Deputy Comptroller of the Control Division of the Chemical Corn Exchange Bank in New York City recently.
The guy with the touch is this man, Von Bomel. Glamour Magazine has named Howie Beauty Advertising Manager. (Poor Me, Howie. I do the same thing for light bulbs, but there isn't much glamour.)
