1945
Class Reunion - The 14th Hanover — June 19, 20, 21
As you are probably aware by now, this year's Alumni Fund drive is being devoted to the final leg of the Capital Gifts campaign. This campaign comes to an end in June and by then it is hoped that Dartmouth will have realized the goals that mean so much to her future. You, or, rather, many of you, will be approached by Class Agents for your part in this tremendous undertaking. They will stress the importance of the "share" plan of giving
and it indeed deserves your time. For, although there will be no official Alumni Fund Drive this year (it will be resumed in 1960), there remains a class competition based on giving to the Capital Gifts Campaign. My appeal to you is on two bases: 1) Dartmouth men have always responded with spectacular warmth to the needs of their College, and this is a time of need; 2) The Class of 1945, broken as it is by circumstance, has amazed its contemporaries by the generosity of its giving. It is asked to give, and give it will, but I, for one, would be tremendously proud if my class was the top giver in its group. How about you?
It seems as though every item I have this month involves money, but as you will note they are all dear to our hearts. And this item in particular, for it involves the Dartmouth Class of 1945 Memorial Weather Post. You have all received mailings by now and if you have not taken action as yet, may I urge you to do so. $2.00 is not a great amount to provide a fitting memorial for our war dead. On that list there must be someone you knew. Make it a personal gift in his memory. Please make your checks payable to Dartmouth College (Weather Post) and many thanks on the behalf of the Class of 1945.
And while I'm on the subject, money, that is, I hope you got your reunion check in to Geoff. Maclay in time for the five dollar discount. Not that reunion is going at a discount for this will be one of the pleasantest weekends that you have ever spent, but the Reunion Treasurer needs ready cash to take care of the many and myriad details that planning for a reunion entails. But, of course, of most importance and greatest significance is you. Are you going to be there? There are lots of people who figure you will be and therefore are looking forward to seeing you. Don't let them down.
No more money matters; now for the news. Incidentally, some of you are getting pretty stingy with news of your doings. Maybe you're figuring that you'll see old SEC at reunion anyway so why waste the paper. All well and good and don't think you'll get away when the time comes. I plan on loading up on enough info to last me until next reunion.
I have an extremely nice letter from Dr. Dean Miller of Monroe, Wis. Dean, apologizing for having been out of Dartmouth affairs for some time, relates that he is back in the Green groove and hopes to attend Reunion with his bride of last December, Gladys. We hope so too. Dean is a GP and is practicing in Monroe after having graduated from the University of Chicago School of Medicine in 1956 and interning at the Cook County Hospital.
The Leominster, Mass., Enterprise headlined, last March, the engagement of Martin Anderholm to Miss Eleanor Peck. There was not much more information except that the wedding was planned for June. When? Wallace Barnes was recently promoted to the rank of Major in the Judge Advocate General's Corps of the Army, and is currently assigned to the Caven Point Army Terminal, Jersey City. Kurt Konigsbacher has lately been appointed associate development manager at Evans Research, N. Y. Stan Howard, a neighbor of mine in Concord, has been named an assistant secretary of the Middlesex and Lynn Mutual Fire Insurance Co. Stan also holds the position of manager of the fire loss department. Howie Brundage has recently been elected a trustee of the Mountainside Hospital Association, Montclair, N. J. "Properties," a trade paper in Cleveland, gave a big January spread to Charlie Williams, builder extraordinaire. President of Charles B. Williams, Inc., Charlie's corporation specializes in custom built houses in the $30,000 or $15,000 category in the Rocky River section of Cleveland. See Charlie and Marty at reunion if you're in the market for a house or, at least, some good ideas. Fred Hoffman is a salesman with James Hill and Co. of San Francisco. Neale Lawson, associate with LaRoque and Hewitt, both lives and works in Kinston, N. C.
And that's all for May. I may even see you before you read the next issue, but anyway, I'll be coming your way in June with the very latest in reunion info. Get aboard the wagon train. It's Hanover Ho!
Ted (Edward B.) Smith '45 has been elected assistant manager of the General Services Division of the First National Bank of Boston by the bank's board of directors.
