1929
Regarding new addresses given in the Mav issue, Fred Cook has written in the following: Was separated from active military service in March 1957 with the rank of Major. Worked as manager of mutual funds sales office one year. Now work as military intelligence research specialist for Corps of Engineers. How's New England?" Also heard from Ed Heister, who is Manager, Pittsburgh Office, Hearst Advertising Service. Inc., Telegraph Square Pittsburgh 30, Penna., and whose home address is 321 Highland Pines Drive, Pittsburgh 37. His nice letter was most welcome and the following bits of news are quoted:
Our daughter Anne completed her freshman year at William and Mary, during which she fell in love with a senior, the son of a West Point grad Since the Army was imbedded in "his muscles and his brain," he went right in after graduation and you can guess the rest. Yep - thev married and are stationed in Montgomery, Ala where he is the inductee psychologist. I'm a grandfather (a boy) with another expected in September. The reduction in our family size made us rattle around where we had been living so last October we bought a new home. The last house was on an acre, mostly in grass and flowers which was quite time-consuming weekends With a smaller piece of ProPerty, I hope to get in more golf this summer. As you know, Dartmouth didn't draw much business from Pittsburgh in 1925 In fact, I believe only two other '29ers still live here - Ed Chinlund and Sawyer Kier. I had a nice get-together with Ed at the recent Trustees dinner. Until about a year ago, "Woody" Woodbridge and Lyt Johnston came to town occasionally on business and we invariably hoisted a few.
Also heard from Lew Clarke whose new business and residence addresses are, respectively, 301 Washington St., Waukegan, Ill., and 1429 Hickory St., Waukegan, and who writes, "Same old grind at the law business in Waukegan. Lew Jr. has finished at Denlson University and reporting at the local radio station. Younger son Chuck in third year at Culver Military Academy. We are still sailing in the summers."
Bob Monahan has furnished us with a portion of the "Journal of the House of Representatives, January Session of 1959," dated Thursday, April go, 1959, which quotes a speech by "the Honorable Frank R.Kenison, Chief Justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court who addressed the Joint Convention." Frank's address was on the occasion of Law Day, U.S.A., and is exceedingly interesting and meaningful and we regret that space restrictions preclude our quoting parts of it. We have a copy, too, of a letter from Bob to Frank, subsequent to the speech, and we shall quote a small bit of the non-business portion therefrom -
You should know that many of my honorable colleagues, without realizing our personal association, remarked upon the clarity and significance of your comments. I only wish that on that day some of our Dartmouth professors in the Political Science Department might have been present to observe the current activities at the State House of their scholars in the Class of 1929. They would have concurred I am sure, with your observations from the Speaker's rostrum. They might have spied Arthur Bergeron button-holing legislators in his legitimate activities as a lobbyist. They could have called on Dud Orr at his vantage point nearby. And they might have seen me, as a committee chairman, seated in the middle of the front row of the center section in Representative Hall.
Frank's office is still at 20 Park St., Concord, and his mail address is P. O. Box 447, Concord, N. H.
Speaking of scholars of the Class of 1929, we have also received clippings from "The Dartmouth" relative to the spring edition of VOX, a literary journal published by The Dartmouth, and a review of this edition by Maurie Mandelbaum. Commemorating: the centenary of Charles Darwin's 1859-published Origin of Species," the sixteen-page special issue contains essays by six faculty members at the College dealing with the influence of the theory of evolution on their various distiplines. Although Maurie criticizes certain details in the various authors' essays, he is quoted as stating "each of the articles is assuredly worth reading with care" and "the authors are to be congratulated for the clarity and conciseness of their articles." Maurie is now chairman of the philosophy department of Johns Hopkins University.
A column, "Cabbages and Kings" by Ned Brown, in the Newburyport, Mass., "News" states the following:
Our congratulations to Miss Priscilla Morse, Amesbury High School senior, whose outstanding scholarship and industry have been repeatedly recognized during her final year at the school. Miss Morse is planning to enter Jackson College nxet fall. We are Sure she will distinguish herself and do honor to her home community. Miss Morse is the daughter of Mrs. Grace Corinne (Wilbur) Morse a home economics teacher at Amesbury, and Widow of Herbert O. Morse, Dartmouth College graduate, who was principal of the junior high school at the time of his death.
We heard, recently, that Brud (Edwin W.)Woodman had moved from Arlington, Mass., to be an innkeeper up in the vicinity of Mt. Washington. His reply to our inquiry was ''The call of the mountains finally became stronger than the struggle of the city. Last winter, I bought this picturesque, delightful inn. Needless to say, the welcome mat is out, spring, summer, fall, or winter for one and all who wish a few days or a few months away from the hustle and bustle, the must and the rust, the ulcers and the cancers. We have found true contentment here and are ready, willing, and able to share it with the finest people on earth, our guests." Brud's Inn is known as Idlewild and it is in Intervale, N. H., near North Conway, on Routes 16 and 302.
Class Officers Weekend, May 1-3, in Hanover, found Bill and Kay Andres, Jack Blair, Chris and Jane Born, Frank Foster, Jack and Jerry Gunther, and Jack and Roz Moxon in attendance. Much business was accomplished and the meetings were both interesting and stimulating. Needless to say, Hanover's spring was "bustin' out all over" and it was wonderful!
On the way home, we stopped in, briefly, to see how Chan Bete's Scriptography business was going - especially as the recent booklet on the Capital Gifts Campaign was put out by his office - and found, with great regret, that the new Interstate 91 (which will run north through New England from New Haven) is going to run right through where his very old, elm-surrounded house and office building now stand. For all the future convenience to Hanover-bound, and other, travelers, this will be a great loss to our countryside. Chan is not yet sure where he will reside, nor where his office will be relocated, but he expects to divide his time, to some extent, between Greenfield and Marion, Mass., where he owns a house jointly with his brother.
Received a nice letter from Albion Ross from one of his stops on his present assignment in the Far East. He is certainly "on the go" and from his far-reaching knowledge of distant places, it almost seems that he is more familiar with them than he is with the local scene. Not only did he inquire as to the time of our next reunion, but have just received a note from his wife Cecilia asking for the same information. For the benefit of everyone, our 30th Reunion is shaping up as follows:
REUNION IN HANOVER - JUNE 13, 14, 15 (Mon., Tues., Wed.) 1960. (30th Reunion is delayed one year, on the staggered plan, to allow us to return with classes in college with us. Will immediately follow Commencement which will be on Sunday, June 12, 1960.)
PRE-REUNION ACTIVITIES - Get-togethers are being planned for just before or after the Harvard and Yale games on October 24 and 31, 1959, respectively. Set these dates aside, now, if you can plan on one or both of them. You will receive further information from Reunion Chairman Barrett and/or in these notes in the September issue of the MAGAZINE. Anyone having ideas for prereunion activities in any part of the country - for next fall, winter or spring - please write Barrett about them as soon as possible at 30 Federal St., Boston, Mass.
The following was recently received: "Mr. and Mrs. John Ross Hughes announce the marriage of Mrs. Hughes' daughter Mary Stewart Duncan to Mr. Dereck Bradford Williams on Saturday, April 4, 1959, in Flemington, N. J." The bride and groom are now making their home at Walnut Run, R. D. 1, Lebanon, N. J.
Panos Georgopulo is mentioned again in two clippings just received. One, from a clipping service, reads: "In the 1928 edition of 'Dartmouth Pictorial,' a yearbook, Panos George, who now owns Napoleon's Restaurant here, is listed as circulation manager. The assistant editor: Nelson A. Rockefeller." The other clipping is from Paul Woodbridge and it reads: "Panos George, Napoleon's Restaurant owner, has unearthed several bottles of Chateau-Neuf-du-Pape, vintage 1949, which he'll deliver on a first-come, first-served basis." Paul has written alongside "All gone! Barrett got most of it. And Enders and wife, the rest."
Down in Houston, Cal Soriero has been elected a director of the Greater Houston Bowl Association, a corporation that will inaugurate next December 26 a new post-season football game called the Bluebonnet Bowl. The NCAA has given its blessing to the new project.
We deeply regret reporting the death of Hal Walker. In addition, we have just heard that Melvin W. Hubbard died in New York City on June 15, 1958 - no details are available, we regret to report.
