1933

Carnival found your secretary and his good wife in Hanover on their annual weekend with a bunch from Melrose as guests of the Renz family, formerly of Melrose. Our first glimpse of '33 came as we were delivering brownies, laundry, and a check for Carnival to a Melrose sophomore in South Fayerweather. Preceded by his dog and equipped with pipe, brief case and a fur cap was George Theriault just leaving his Dartmouth Hall office. He was feeling quite proud of himself as the result of a surprise visit by Hank Smith's daughter, Susan, who had chosen him, from all the men available on campus, to call upon while she waited for her date to get out of class. We made no mention of the fact that there is safety in age and listened to George's further enthusiasm about developments in his Sociology Department, his son Terry's accomplishments, as a four-events-member of the undefeated Holderness School team, and the uncovering of his own latent talents as a skier in an effort to match those of Terry and his frau, Ray, an accomplished performer on the boards in her own right. Had the pleasure of Jack andDotty Manchester's company over a cup of coffee and went with Jack to the varsity and freshman hockey games. Saw Johnny Faegre's son, Charles, play in the freshman game which was refereed by Forrey Branch. Met June and Dorothy Drowne at the ski jump and talked with Jean Meek, in John's absence, over the 'phone. Got quite a charge out of seeing Jack Manchester's cute daughter Ellen as first-in-line with the Hanover Skating Club at Out-Door Evening.

Thanks to Larry Reeves and Johnny Monagan, a '33 get-together was arranged the following week at the University Club in Washington - coincident with your secretary's presence at the Pentagon on his annual Army tour of reserve duty. In attendance were: civil engineer, Fred Await; housewares distributor, Charlie Grob; Navy administrator, Bob Hagan; Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Personnel, Dick Jackson; patent lawyer, Cal Milans; Congressman, JohnnyMonagan; Federal Maritime Board and Marine Administration Secretary, Jim Pimper; insurance executive, Larry Reeves; Veterans Administration analyst, Bert Thorstenberg and telephone executive, Page Worthington, who made a special trip from Baltimore for the occasion. Monagan claims otherwise says Page stopped off at his office and left a trail of swooning secretaries on his staff "just a-pinin' for that cute Southern gentleman." Pete Hart was ill and Art Goodwin,Dick Lyon, El Sager and Ed Staudt unfortunately had prior commitments. It was reported unofficially that Dick Lyons, a widower for some years, was recently married and acquired a fine wife plus two nice youngsters. Dick already had two sons and now has a family of six for whom we wish every happiness. Dick is one of five alumni of the old Central High School in Washington who were recently given an award for civic accomplishment. Track was represented at our meeting, not only by star high-jumper, CalMilans, but by record-breaking hurdler, Larry Reeves, to whom we all must give belated credit after the passage of all these years. During our sophomore year, at a DartmouthHarvard track meet in Hanover, all contestants in one of the hurdles broke the track record with the winner setting a new world's mark. The hero was Larry along with his managerial-heeler cohorts who set up one less than the required number of hurdles. He told this on himself and agreed that this episode was too good to keep from the rest of the class.

Another brass ring for one of the '33 girls. This time it's Mary Stevens, Smith '33, wife of Roily Stevens, writing from Rochester, N.Y., and quoting from a telephonic interview one of the local newspapers had with Roily in Squaw Valley where he is one of some forty physicians on the official medical staff for the 1960 Olympics. He says that Squaw Valley is generally agreed upon as being just about the finest place for skiing in the country. As you will recall, Roily was a jumper on the Dartmouth Ski Team for four years and knows whereof he speaks. Part of his time is spent at the 25-bed hospital built for the occasion and part rotating as attending physician at the various events. He is quartered in Tahoe City in a school house being used as a dormitory. Don't let your kids read this - the evacuation of the school for dormitory purposes resulted in a school holiday for the students for the month of February.

Jus Stanley, already a member of the board of visitors of Columbia University Law School and formerly vice-president of Dartmouth College, has just been named as a trustee of Wells College in Aurora, N.Y. Harry Robinovitz of Somerville, N.J., has just been appointed to the Committee on Vacancy for Republican Freeholder candidate Anderson Fowler in Somerset County. The committee is empowered, in case of incapacity or death of a candidate, to name a replacement for the primary election. Harry, a lifetime resident of Somerville, is a member of the state bar and has been active in politics for many years, serving as a district committeeman and as an early president of the Somerville Republican Club.

Jarv Chapman and Ted Okie were scheduled to make their annual skiing trek with their families and several other couples to the Keene's in Etna over Washington's birthday weekend. Jarv expected to spend part of his time in Hanover with his son Larry at Freshmen Fathers' weekend.

1933 can well be proud of the contributions being made by two of its members to the operations of the Navy Department. The brethren in mind are Dick Jackson, who has the whole navy personnel, active and reserve, under his wing in his position as Assistant Secretary and Bob Hagan as Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of the Navy. Yours truly had a chance to get some inkling of their important activities at lunch with Bob and as a houseguest of the Jacksons during part of the tour in Wasington. Bob was justly proud of his son's acceptance for Dartmouth next fall under the new plan of early acceptance of highly qualified boys who are willing to make an advance firm commitment. Brother Jackson is continually on the go and takes off shortly with Helen for a European tour of Navy installations. His two terrific daughters are at the Holton Arms School in Washington with daughter, Debbie, scheduled to go to Hollins College in the fall. Wife Helen is born to the important cial affairs which Dick has to attend. We had the good fortune of being able to observe them in action on several occasions and were amazed at their detailed knowledge of naval personnel and affairs, both current and past.
