1934
Class Reunion - The 25thHanover - June 18, 19, 20, 21
In this my last regular column, I want to make amends and mention some fellows whose names appeared all too infrequently in this space.
I have a clipping from the Tribune-Chronicle when Curt Howard joined the American Welding & Manufacturing Co. as advertising and sales promotion manager. Curt and Dorothy and their two children live in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. Another item from the Bridgeport Post announces the purchase by Ted Thompson of an employment agency. Ted's agency offers personnel consulting services to business and industry in the Fairfield County area in Connecticut. Ted was associated with NBC for sixteen years and more recently was training coordinator for Du Pont and personnel manager of the Bridgeport Brass Company.
From the Times in Barre, Vt., an item on the address made by Stan Abercrombie about the progress of driver education. Stan is secretary of the National Commission of Safety Education in Washington, D. C., and lectures all over the country to associations of state groups. Another Washingtonian whom we missed seeing last month was Frank Everts. He and Helen live in Bethesda and one of their main hobbies is gardening after Frank spends a full day as chief of the Analysis Branch, Tobacco Division in the Department of Agriculture. Also failed to contact LineDaniels, director of community services in the Children's Bureau of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. After taking his M.A. in Education at Columbia, Line and Carla with their children, Ingrid and Kenneth, have been residents of the nation's capital for many moons.
One of our most traveled brethren is Cal Calmon. He is now director of the Chemical Laboratories of the Permutit Co. with a Ph.D. from Yale and degrees from the University of Paris and Minnesota. His journeys have taken him through most of Europe and Asia pursuing his interest in desalting of sea water.
I never got around to saying hello to Andy Donaldson and Nancy his wife. Andy is general manager of the Strobridge Lithographing Co. He is a deacon of the Presbyterian Church in Cincinnati and has done a wonderful job interviewing Dartmouth applicants in his area. Apologies too to Joe Dolben. Joe is Secretary of the Winchester Country Club and is one of* the few experts in our class in the sport of curling. He and Nina have three children, Joe, Tom, and daughter Holly. Dad is with the Gustin Corporation, manufacturers of building materials. And Joe, if your club needs new members, George Beal has just moved into the neighborhood at 12 Norfolk Road in Winchester, Mass.
My belated thanks to Earl Draper who sent me a wonderfully long letter about himself and family. For sometime he has been in Pittsburgh with H. H. Robertson Co. in their Quality Control Department. When he was living in Nashua, N. H., he saw Al Cotton and Ed Hill occasionally.
We congratulate Russell Smart, head of the Department of Child Development and Family Relations at the University of Rhode Island. He has just won a coveted Fulbright Fellowship. Russ received his doctorate of philosophy from Minnesota in 1938 and is the author of a college textbook "The Individual and His Relations, with Others." With his wife, Professor Mollie Smart, also on the University of Rhode Island faculty, he is coauthor of "It's a Wise Parent" and "Living and Learning with Children." Felicitations to Chick Chickering's son, Howell, who received a James B. Reynolds Scholarship for study in a foreign country and to Clarence Davies' son, Terry, who was awarded a Ford Foundation scholarship to study Political Science.
Who's news - Commander Roily Wilson, former executive officer of the repair ship Vulcan, has assumed the duties of public information officer to Rear Admiral Crommelin, Newport Naval Base Commander. BobLindstrom, vice-president of National City Bank of Cleveland and a director of American Welding & Manufacturing Co., was elected a director of Thew Shovel Co. of Lorain, Ohio. When Moe Frankel received a distinguished service award as Director of the Joint Council of Economic Education his citation read in part:
AH those familiar with the accomplishments of the Joint Council know how much its successes are due to the human warmth, enthusiasm, integrity and selflessness so characteristic of Moe Frankel. He has imbued educators and lay people with confidence in the goals and methods of the organization.
We are in receipt of a note from GeorgeEngel who has been promoted to full Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Rochester School of Medicine. He will be Acting Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry commencing July 1. He sends news of his twin brother, Frank Engel, who is Professor of Medicine at Duke and is the American representative of the organizing committee for the first International Congress of Endocrinology meeting in Stockholm in 1960. Frank and George have written countless articles and books individually and in collaboration with one another. Frank went on an executive lecture tour throughout South America in 1956. Speaking of medicine, George Donahue is assistant treasurer of the Father John's Medicine Co. After doing post graduate work at Boston University in the College of Business Administration, George spent most of his working hours with his company but still finds time to relax with his golf and bowling. Jim Bayles, a busy attorney with the Veterans Administration, writes that he too indulges in the aforementioned sports plus photography, fishing and gardening.
From the former Massachusetts State Class B squash champ, Ed Davis, comes word that Whitin Machine Works have grown by leaps and bounds. Ed is employed as an engineer with this large maker of textile machinery and printing presses. Ed is the only man in the class with a Certificate in Prospecting received from the University of Manitoba. In the past he has spent intriguing time exploring and developing mining properties in Canada.
Dartmouth teams were active in the vicinity of New York City the day of Bill Scherman's Prelude to Reunion. The rugby team defeated Princeton 11-3. The victory was marred by an injury to Dave Bathrick. As a result John Bathrick was unable to attend Bill's spot of tea after the game. Dotty, Jimmy and Roily Morton, Dotty and Nels Krogslund, Kitty and Wil Maynard, Marty Dwyer and his children Dolores, Bob and Dennis, and Carl Ray '37 and his family did partake of Bill's hospitality. Like Eleazar Wheelock's party the drinks were spiked with a tot of rum. While down at Baker Field the varsity baseball team was succumbing to Columbia 6-3. On the same day seven young college poets (not a Dartmouth undergraduate among them) competed for a prize at Mount Holyoke. The judges did not select a winner but the Holyoke girls' favorite verse was:
That the girls at Mount Holyoke Neither drink nor smoke Is a myth Believed by the girls at Smith.
On that day there also appeared an announcement that Princeton had elected two vice presidents, for the first time in the 213 years since it was founded. One a financial V-P and the other an administrative. Orv Dryfoos says it is just unbelievable the amount of work and strain which college officers have to bear these days.
And now as we come down to the wire a wonderful hand to Dick Gruen and his Reunion Committees. The only ones excused from attending are people like our Class Father, Ed Moore, who mirabile dictu is about to have the latest addition to his family just as we are reuning in June. The other mortal men with wives and children I shall look forward to seeing in Hanover.
Secretary, 160 Broadway, New York 38, N. Y.
Class Agent, 1750 Elm St., Manchester, N. H.
