1941
The lucky ones who were able to return to Hanover in September and early October enjoyed the dual pleasures of cheering the Big Green to victory in its first two home games and getting a preview of the flaming autumn foliage which regaled the Hanover hills with its splendor about one week ahead of schedule. A few of the fellows who could not wait until the football season or for the Big Twentieth to return to Hanover, were among the 1900 summer vacationists who visited the Dartmouth campus between midJune and mid-September. Doug Wheale journeyed from Greenville, S. C., during the week of July 4, for his first visit to Hanover since graduation. Doug and his family spent the night up in the mountains at one of the Dartmouth Outing Club cabins on Armington Pond. Bruce and Kathy Friedlich hopped over to Hanover during their two-week vacation in Vermont. On their way home they hopped over to Hinsdale, N. H., to call on Russ Garfield, another paper tycoon from the "north country." Russ gave Bruce a guided tour through his plant while Genie and Debbie were gracious hostesses to Kathy on their palatial "ranch." I understand that Russ has become quite an equestrian.
Snuffy Smith, who is now back in Hanover as associate director of Athletics, reports that Bob O'Brien, Walt Winchester and Gus Broberg, were all summer visitors in Hanover and that each of them is anticipating returning in June for the reunion. Walt and Gus out-distanced Doug Wheale in the Hanover marathon, each of them traveling from Florida. Gus, who is listed in the "Who's Who" of Palm Beach, was able to steal away from his busy law practice and duties as police judge. Walt deserved the rest after the stellar work he performed in Florida as a Class Agent in the 1960 Alumni Fund Campaign. Not only did he collect a lot of dollars, but he collected a lot of information on the recent doings of some of our colleagues fortunate enough to be permanent residents of the Sunshine State.
Win Shorey, now the associate dean of the University of Miami School of Medicine, is a real live wire. At a recent American Medical Association convention held in Miami, Win moderated a widely acclaimed closed circuit television panel program.
Bill Holler is living in Deland, Fla., where he manages the Deland office of a large Oldsmobile agency, which he owns jointly with a brother, and which also has offices in Orlando and Winter Park.
Since troubles in the North brought John Moore to Florida in 1952, he first settled in Fort Lauderdale and moved to Pompano Beach in 1955. Norm Brandt is in the aviation industry in Coral Gables.
Before leaving the subject of deans and television, it seems appropriate to herald the recent accomplishments of Bob Lawrence, the dean of television commercials. Seven first prizes were awarded by the American Television Commercials Festival of i960 to Bob's various concerns. Judged by a distinguished panel of fifty leading advertising executives - Bruce Friedlich and MouseHall were disqualified for partiality - Bob emerged as the winningest producer of television commercials in the United States and Canada. In addition to seven first prizes he also won two honorable mentions.
One of the foremost audio tape engineers in the United States, Jack Beaumont, recently drew on this reservoir of talent present in Robert Lawrence Productions, one of Bob's prizewinning organizations, by joining up forces with Bob's production supervisor, to form a new company, Audio Techniques, Inc., which will offer a comprehensive film and tape sound recording service to New York's motion picture and recording industries. Jack is the former eastern branch manager of the United Stereo Tapes Division of Ampex Audio, Inc. He has been the head of Audio Design Association of Chatham, N. J., and chief engineer for both Vanguard Recording Society and Livingston Audio Products. He has also been a frequent contributor of research reports to audio conventions and publications.
I cannot get Bob Lawrence out of the act regardless of how hard I try. One of the first prizes that went to Bob was for his commercial on Lestoil. The producer of this household product, Lestoil Products, Inc. of Holyoke, Mass., recently elected Jack Bolten a member of the board of directors and its treasurer. Jack is also vice-president and treasurer of Standard International Corp., which is the principal stockholder of Lestoil Products, Inc. He is also responsible for the German and Argentine operations of plastics producing concerns founded by his father, and later merged into the General Tire and Rubber Co. Jack has been associated with these various companies since his graduation from Dartmouth, serving first as vice-president in charge of production and then as president. After the merger with General Tire, he became the production manager of the Bolta Products Division of General Tire and a member of the Manufacturing and Analysis Staff of General Tire.
It is either feast or famine. First it was television and audio; now it is chemicals. Ted Hinson was recently appointed product manager of petroleum chemicals for Monsanto Chemical Company's Overseas Division at St. Louis, Mo., after serving as a divisional area sales supervisor.
Tom Willers deserves a Wah Hoo Wah for his recent election as a director of Hooker Chemical Corporation of Niagara Falls, N. Y. Tom just took up residence in Greenwich, Conn. Maybe he is planning to commute by jet.
Many classmates have expressed the desire to kick off our quinquennial reunion with an up-to-date Class Directory. The consensus of opinion is that a new directory would be helpful to our classmates in contacting one another about reunion plans and arrangements. The College is planning to run a new edition of the Dartmouth Alumni Directory, which will be ready for distribution in late spring. Both undertakings require the wholehearted cooperation of all. The questionnaire for the College Directory has already been circulated. The questionnaire for the Class Directory will probably be circulated with the Class Newsletter. I therefore urge every member of the Class to lend a helping hand in these undertakings by filling out these questionnaires completely and returning them promptly to their source the College questionnaire to Hanover and the Class questionnaire to yours truly.
