1929

It is with a spirit of enthusiasm that your secretary embarks upon his responsibility of recording the activities of classmates. May our friendships continue to grow closer with the years.

John Dickey recently received the Commander's Cross of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany from Dr. Guenther Motz, German Consul in Boston. He was cited by German President Heinrich Lubke for fostering international understanding between the United States and Germany.

Rt. Rev. Archie Crowley, Suffragan Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan, received the degree of Doctor in Divinity (D.D.) from Kenyon College in June. He was cited for his great, simple gifts of friendship, his attention to things of learning, and his concern for justice.

frank Kenison, the Chief Justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court, was the Law Day speaker at Pease Air Force Base in Portsmouth. He reminded all that law and order are the keystone of our liberties.

Dud Orr's daughter, Marjorie, was married in June to George Albert Maclver Jr. of Worcester, Mass., a graduate of Wesleyan University '52 and Tuck School at Dart- mouth. Marjorie graduated from Wellesley in June.

The engagement of Eddie Dean's daughter, Mollie Josephine, to George Milburn Auchincloss, of Darien, Conn., was recently announced. Mollie and her fiance graduated from Colby College in June. Her parents now hail from Winchester, Mass., and are good neighbors of your secretary.

Doug Gray has been appointed Sales Manager of the Torrington Division, American Brass Co., in Torrington, Conn.

At Finlay continues to make news with his activities in providing school facilities for Wayland, Mass. As chairman of the School Building Committee, he has announced the opening of Wayland's new two million dollar high school.

George Naylor, of Framingham, Mass., has been named a Director of the Atlee Corporation, with headquarters in Waltham's Bear Hill Industrial Park. George is a partner of the Boston law firm of Tyler and Reynolds.

Bob Carr, president of Oberlin College, in Ohio, writes that although he misses Hanover scenes and friends, he finds his new position a busy and challenging one. His son Norman is at the Columbia Law School this fall, and son Elliott, who was graduated from Dartmouth cum laude in June, goes to Princeton to begin graduate work in economics. Robert, the youngest son, will be a junior at Harvard this year. Old Bob received an honorary LL.D. from Dartmouth last June.

On his way home from Reunion, Al Benjamin, of Glencoe, Ill., visited with Kel Krist and Frank Headley. Kel is with Bell Telephone Laboratories and has a "charming home in Mountain Lakes, New Jersey." His gracious wife, Helen, is Frank's sister. Frank is one of our legal brethren and is active in local politics. He is affectionately known as "Judge" and reportedly persists in climbing mountains. Al reports that George Hersam is now living in Miami, Florida, presumably in luxury. Al's son John graduated from Dartmouth this year, and his daughter Betty will be a senior at New Trier High School. Al finds life astoundingly varied, due, no doubt, to his extremely liberal education.

Jack Hubbard reports that as he grows older he works harder and harder and knows less and less. Jack works at real estate and corporate financing with Hubbard, Westervelt & Mottelay, Inc. in New York City. Son John enters the junior class at Dartmouth this fall. Jack takes golfing "lessons" from his wife, Sue, who also excels in cooking, gardening, chaufEering and stitching. Jack and Sue bought a farm in Dorset, Vermont, last year. Perhaps Jack will excel in milking cows.

John Davis", of Brockton, Mass., sailed to Martha's Vineyard this summer. Upon return to port at Marion Harbor, he hailed Bill Andres and Phil Mayher, who were anchored on Bill's boat with their charming wives, Kay and Alice. John leaves shortly for James Bay in Canada to shoot geese. Son John will be a senior at Northwestern this fall. John and Virginia are four times grandparents. Daughter Jean (Mrs. Donald Bates, of South Windsor, Conn.) is the mother of a son and daughter, and daughter Debbie (Mrs. Stephen Delaney, of LaPorte, Indiana) is the mother of two daughters. John and Virginia were at Reunion and enjoyed seeing old friends. They find Hanover more attractive every year.

Van Jamieson and his family toured the Gaspé Peninsula in Canada this summer. Van now lives at 296 Engle Street in Tenafly, N. J., where his son Peter is entering junior high school and his daughter Marcia is in the second year of junior high. Van has been active with the organization and programs of the Dartmouth Club of Bergen County, and with the local interviewing committee. He finds that the applicants are a poised and impressive group of young men and he wonders how any of them can fail to make the grade. He-has sympathy for the Director of Admissions.

Morry Hartman now lives at 19300 Shelburne Road, Shaker Heights 18, Ohio. Morry is Vice-President of Central National Bank of Cleveland. We note that he is in charge of the Loan Division. We assume that this is why he frequently sees George Case, Walter Bergstrom, Bill Irwin, Bill Strangward,Red Flynn and Bob Jones. It must be that they are involved in corporate financing. Morry has the prevalent complaint of children growing up. Daughter Diane is a senior at Skidmore and daughter Hilary is a sophomore at St. Lawrence.

Jim Hodge, of South Norwalk, Conn., is inclined to believe that the only valid writing is symbolic. He reports that our letter to him arrived when he was painting the garbage can - a nice Dartmouth green. He hastily adds that .this is more to explain the "mutation in vacation activities." He will let it rest there. Jim calmly admits to an association with Jack Hubbard in business affairs. He rides the "prairies" on the New York, New Haven every day and casts an envious look at non-commuters, Mat Rock and Ev Buckley, whom he sees in Norwalk frequently. Jim enjoys the camaraderie of the Dartmouth Club of New York and reports that while none of this is "cosmic," he does see old friends. His daughter Susan, a graduate of Wellesley, is married to an optical physicist and they are presently on a sand spit off Pensacola shooting missiles to study the infra-red trails. Son Robert is a combined musician and tennis expert with two more years of high school to go. Robert attended the Aspen Music School in Colorado this summer.

Your secretary has received many interesting letters and it is with a mixed feeling of regret and relief that he must save them for the next issue. It is with a deep sense of appreciation that he has received such a response from classmates. Keep the letters coming even though you do not think that your activities are cosmic or genuinely exciting. News of the 1929 clan is always interesting.

Secretary, 10 Cranston Road Winchester, Mass.

Treasurer, 2 Gateway Center, Pittsburgh 22, Pa.
