Another winter has sped by and, I hope, without too many sore muscles from snow-shoveling, and with a minimum of medical bills.
Last month the news of the promotion of handsome Joe Guidrey to the position of manager of the Data Processing Center of Sylvania Electric Products was topped by a photograph of our photogenic colleague. Now for a few of the details: Joe, his wife and two children, are planning to move from their present home in Topsfield, Mass., to Camillus, N. Y., near Syracuse, at the end of the school year. Joe began his business career as an auditor with Lybrand, Ross Bros, and Montgomery in Boston. Before joining Sylvania as a cost accountant at Towanda, Penna. in 1953, he was comptroller of Heyden Chemical Corporation of New York. In 1955 he became manager of the company's Internal Auditing Department, and in 1957 he went to Salem as comptroller. Joe is a member of the Controllers Institute of America, the Institute of Internal Auditors and the National Association of Cost Accountants.
Lt. Col. Phil Hallam has been recently assigned to Headquarters, Air Training Command, at Randolph Air Force Base, Tex., as assistant director of the Operations Services Directorate in the office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Plans, Programs and Operations Services at Air Training Command Headquarters. ATC is one of the nation's largest major air commands. It operates 25 air bases throughout the country and recruits and trains all officers and enlisted personnel in the United States Air Force. So Phil has a big job ahead, for which he just completed training at the Arm Forces Staff College, at Norfolk, Va. The new assignment will mean a change of residence for Phil, Phyllis, and their five children from nearby San Antonio.
OTHER NEW ASSIGNMENTS AND RECENT PROMOTIONS
Dana Chase is now Special Projects Test Operations Engineer for Aerojet General Corporation at Sacramento, Calif. Ray Welbourn is Sales Service Manager of the International Paper Co. at Aldan, Penna.

Club Activities: Al Hutton is heading up one of the enrollment groups of the Dartmouth Club of Cleveland to act as liaison between the local schools of his fair city and the colleges. In our nation's capital, George Flather is chairman of the local enrollment committee of that busy metropolis, in which capacity he recently sponsored a very successful and extremely well-attended "College Night" for prospective students and their fathers. Charlie Smith is so adept at counting money that he was designated Treasurer of the annual Christmas luncheon of Dartmouth Club of Central New York. Stu Steffey seems to have a permanent assignment as one of the principal speakers at the monthly luncheons of the Philadelphia Club. After returning from the winter meeting of the Alumni Council in Hanover, Stu informed a luncheon audience about the functions of the Council. In the neighboring State of New Jersey, Josh White was one of the prime movers behind the spring concert of the Dartmouth College Glee Club, sponsored by the North Jersey Club. Jim Morgan is Secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Central New Jersey.
As usual there is plenty of activity among our Massachusetts classmates. Ed Martin has been elected President of the Charles River Dartmouth Club. Ez Crowley is cochairman of enrollment of The North Shore Dartmouth Club, and a member of the Execute Committee, along with Dick Hill, of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Boston
Many of the gang have a very strenuous two months ahead of them as area chairmen and teams captains for the Capital Gifts Campaign to assure one hundred per cent participation in the campaign and to help [he College attain its $17,000,000 goal. Ez Crowley is a Division Chairman for the North Shore area of metropolitan Boston. Bob O'Brien is a Division Chairman for Boston's Mystic Valley area. One of the team captains for Berkshire County, Mass., is Anthony Guerrierri. Chuck Bolte and Ira Skutch are campaign leaders for Greenwich, Conn. New Haven is being ably covered by Bill Hotaling and Norm Locke is a team captain for the Bridgeport area. The midwest is also ably covered by Al Gordon as a team captain in Omaha; John MxCuiston as a team captain in Detroit; Charlie Carleton as campaign chairman for the Minneapolis-St. Paul area and Don Martin as a team captain in the same area; and by Lew Johnstone as chairman of the Cincinnati area. Jim Keating is doing his bit down New Orleans way. These stellar efforts by so many of the gang who always seem to find time to do their bit for Dartmouth should certainly be an inspiration to all of us and instill in everyone a firm resolution to make a contribution to the Capital Gift Campaign.
