1941

Recently a New York City newspaper carried an article suggesting a revision of the calendar so that long holiday weekends occur regularly and more frequently. Perhaps someone should suggest a revision that would extend the summer because this summer seemed to pass more quickly than last summer, and the summer before that. It seems like it was only yesterday that I completed another year of Class Notes with best wishes for a pleasant summer for all. Already it is time to inaugurate my fifth year of class notes, which I can begin with enthusiasm and gratitude, because the mailman made frequent detours from his trips to the beach to replenish my stockpile of news.

Some of the "gang" who sneaked off to the track on an occasional summer afternoon to cool off and to place a sawbuck on a "hot" filly, probably scanned the "dope" sheets for horses trained by Eddie Stone. Ed spent a very busy and successful summer at Rockingham, Suffolk Downs, and other tracks in the circuit, training horses who "ran in the money." During the past racing season, a three-year-old trained by Stoney won four races for his owner and picked up three seconds and a third. In addition to being a topnotch trainer, Ed is a shrewd trader. To get into horse racing, he paid $200 for a filly, and had her mated. The end product of Ed's $200 purchase and $50 stud fee was a filly that earned more than $11,000.

Some of us devoted at least part of our summer vacation to Uncle Sam as members of the Naval Reserve or Army Reserve. Lt. Commander Bob Frothingham attended an instructor training course for Naval Reserve officers at the Armed Forces Staff College in Norfolk, Va. Bob has been with the Naval Reserve Officers School in Stamford, Conn., since 1955. In civilian life he is sales manager of International Petrosolvents, Inc. of New York City. Bob was previously with C. P. Steuber Co. as import sales manager.

The past summer has also brought about some reassignments and changes in status for the "regulars" in our ranks. Dick Jachens was recently promoted to the rank of Major and is now assigned to the Student Detachment of the Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Commander Bob Sherwin is now stationed overseas with Hq. U.S. Eucom. Major Clayton Gray has a new address in Troy, N. Y., where he has been stationed for the past year as a member of the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps Detachment at R.P.I. Colonel Frank Tomlinson's latest assignment at Westover Air Force Base in Massachusetts is with the Headquarters of the 814 th Combat Support Group of the 57th Air Division.

Speaking of sneaking off, Ed McMillan admittedly sneaked away from his duties as a partner in the High Street, Boston office of the investment dynasty of Merrill Lynch, Fenner & Smith to "goof" - I mean golf - with Er Crowley, who deserves a rousing Wah Hoo Wah for the wonderful work he is doing in his recruiting endeavors for Dartmouth as a member of the Executive Committee of the National Enrollment Council and as National Enrollment Chairman for Massachusetts' North Shore. Ez has put a tremendous amount of energy in this work and, as a result, has come up with some fine prospects for freshman classes. Modest Ed McMillan also deserves a round of applause for the fine work he did as a class agent in the i960 Alumni Fund Campaign.

The "spanking" breezes that sped the pawls out of Plymouth Harbor and wafted inland to cool the countryside bore with them the news of the appointment of John Ryan as an Assistant Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. John has had his own law office in Plymouth for some years. Prior to venturing on his own, he was with the Boston office of the Fidelity Casualty Company of New York. John, Judy and their four children also live in Plymouth, where John spends most of his spare time attending to his duties as Commander of the Plymouth American Legion Post.

To make sure that he would not have to rely on air-conditioning to keep cool during this past summer, Dave Nutt stepped up his activities as an arctic explorer. During the summer Dave, who is now serving as Vice-Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Arctic Institute, journeyed to Copenhagen to present a paper on the result of his Greenland ice structures to the Greenland Symposium of the International Geographical Congress. Next on his itinerary was a visit to East Greenland to observe activities and conditions there.

Back to school for the children not only gladdens Mother's heart. The paper tycoons in our ranks lick their chops at the thought of increased gobs of pack, note books and lunch bags. Among them are Dick Pace and Larry Norton. Dick, who also did his much appreciated "bit" as a Class Agent, is now with the Gulf Carton Division of the St. Regis Paper Company in Pensacola, Florida. Prior to joining Jack Larigan as an employee of St. Regis, Dick was President of the Gulf Paper Co., Inc. in Pensacola. Larry Norton is sales manager of the Albemarle Paper Manufacturing Co. Larry, Kitty and their three children live on an estate in Richmond, Va„ which is the envy of horticulturists and which Larry makes his base of operations for traveling the eastern territory. Right after graduation from college, he started his business career with the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Co. as a sales trainee in the Philadelphia office. Larry's employ with this company took him to New Jersey, to the home office in St. Paul, Minnesota, and to Charlotte and Greensboro to cover the Carolinas. After spending four and a half years with the Gilman Paper Co. of New York City as sales manager of its standard products division and assistant vice-president, he left Gilman in 1955 to return to Greensboro, where he spent a year and a half with the Henley Paper Co. until he joined his present employer in 1957. In addition to being an active member of at least eight trade, church and civic associations, Larry still finds time to serve as local chairman of Dartmouth's National Enrollment Committee.

It is a wonderful feeling to enjoy the unique experience of not having to close with an urgent appeal for more news for the next issue. But that does not mean that I want you to forget me when the Clan gathers in Hanover, Providence, Cambridge and New Haven to cheer the Big Green on to victory in the first six games. The repartee that will be exchanged between touchdowns will certainly breed choice bits of news worthy of publication.
