1930

By the time this appears in print our 1961 informal reunion at Woodstock on September 30 will be a matter of history. If early interest is a good indication, this will have been one of our most successful interim meetings as it will be coupled with the 1961 meeting of the class executive committee. We were unable to give these events a preplug in this column, but for the next issue hope to have a comprehensive run down on the deliberations of the Committee and a list of those guys and gals who attended. We can, however, enter a timely reminder of the 1930 fall class dinner to be held at the new quarters of the New York Dartmouth Club on Thursday evening, November 2, and about this you will hear in detail from Charlie McDonough very soon.

This seems to have been a busy summer in many ways, but our notes folder is not exactly bulging — as we dig into it, marriages and other doings of children seem to have predominated. For the social events column, we have been advised of the following marriages, but guess that there are as many more of which we have no knowledge:

Jennifer Kelly Brennan to Roberts Walker French '56, son of John French at Webster, N. Y., June 8.

Deborah Bliss Alderdice, daughter of the late George Alderdice to Andrew B. Randolph at Pittsburgh, July 1.

Barbara Ann Wylie to Robert Bramley Barker '60, son of Bob Barker at New Dorp, Staten Island, August 12.

Mary Jane Phillips to Albert Inskip Dickerson Jr. '56, son of Al Dickerson at Cameron, N. C., June 18.

Dick Butterfield wrote that his daughter Joan was to be married in June but failed to supply the name of the lucky gentleman.

Also the announcement of the engage- ment of Walt Rosenberry's daughter Lucy, to Walter R. McCarthy of Wayzata, Minn.

Ev Low's son Gil '61 is to be a Rhodes Scholar this year and will study international politics and economics at Magdalen College, Oxford. Jim Dalgiish's son Tom '61, who was managing editor of The Dartmouth and undergraduate editor of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, will study law at Michigan. Fred Jaspersen's son Fred '61 was selected as a Peace Corps volunteer for a farm and village development program in Colombia.

Dale Sarles '58, son of our late classmate George Sarles, was ordained to the Deaconate of the Episcopal Church at Mount Kisco, N. Y., shortly after receiving his degree of Bachelor of Sacred Theology from General Theological Seminal. Now York.

As a trust officer of the Bankers Trust Company, Russ Sigler has been charged with arranging a November auction of a group of privately owned old masters, including a painting that has come to be known as the "Million Dollar Rembrandt" - his "Aristotle Contemplating the Bust of Homer," painted in 165 3. Should this sale be held at Parke-Bernet, only two blocks from our office, we will try to attend, but only for newsgathering purposes.

Charles West, from whom nothing had been heard in about fifteen years, has been located practicing medicine in Las Vegas, Nev. During World War II he held the rank of major in the U. S. Army Corps.

The return of Pat Weaver to television has been announced, upon his election as president of M-E Productions, the "radio and television division of Interpublic and of McCann-Erickson. His new appointment is a reflection of Interpublic's interest in the growth and development of world-wide television and the attainment of quality programming. At the same time Pat will continue as chairman of the Interpublic division which directs offices in 22 countries.

Judge Jack Keating is president of the Board of Trustees of the Low-Heywood School, Stamford, and presided at its graduation exercises in June. Jack also made the presentation at the annual dinner in May, of a citation by the Dartmouth Club of Western Connecticut to Harold Rider '25 as alumnus of the year.

Across our desk recently there came a copy of a speech made by Fred Page - "Electric Utilities - Relatively Undervalued Growth Stocks." This is what, in varying degrees, we are all looking for, and it is likely that copies can be obtained by writing to Fred, care of Tri-Continental Corporation, of which he is vice president, at 65 Broadway, New York 6.

Horace "Al" Allyn has just celebrated his 30th anniversary with the Prudential, where he is associate general manager of the ordinary policy department. In the same field, George Parktarst was named a member of a Maryland commission to study the possibility of State insurance for deposits of savings and loan association.

Red Gould has been named New York district manager of utility sales by Phelps Dodge Copper Products Corporation, with whom he has been working for over twenty years. Nels Flanders has been elected controller of Amerace Corporation, New York, where previously he had been secretary-treasurer sine; its formation in 1957.

Fran Horn wrote it was unlikely he could be at the informal reunion because of a commitment to speak that day at a convocation to be held at the Strafford, Vt., home of Justin Smith Morrill, author of the Morrill Act. This is the opening event in a celebration to take place throughout the coming academic year of the centennial of the landgrant college movement. Fran had a busy summer, with time to spend only weekends at his summer home in Provincetown. He was honored twice during the commencement season by the award of the honorary degrees of Doctor of Letters from Ohio Northern University and Doctor of Science in Education from Bryant College.

Horst Orbanowski sailed his Atlantic Class boat, Ann, into print about a dozen times this summer, in regattas out of Greenwich, Larchmont, Port Washington, et al. We learned recently that George Franson has been sailing for many years in these same waters, and that his son, Bob, was a member of the crew on Wind Call in this year's Marblehead to Halifax race.

Jim Curtiss was elected to the Board of Directors of the United StaUs Trademark Association at its 84th annual meeting. He is a partner of the law firm of March and Curtiss, Glen Rock, N. J., and has been chairman of the Unfair Competition Committee of the New York Patent Law Association.

Fred Watson has been appointed export manager for the Polyolefins Division of E. I. du Pont's polychemicals department. MeadeAlcorn has been named a distinguished professor of public affairs at the University of Massachusetts and will offer a course in American politics for graduate students and selected seniors and juniors. Dick Butterfield has been elected a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, and was honored for distinguished performance in architectural design, by the Connecticut Chapter of the Institute at its June meeting.

Ed Warren weighed in with a suggestion that a class award for "pure interest and affection" should go to Pete Callaway, whose office in the swank new Time and Life Building is numbered, appropriately, 1930! This of itself may not warrant such an accolade, but there are other reasons why Pete is deserving. We hope Ed was successful in selling Pete some advertising space in House Beautiful, against what must be very high powered competition, and we give you the following resume from The New York Times to indicate present levels:

L. L. (Pete) Callaway, advertising director of Sports Illustrated, will be richer by $320,000 this morning, but only for an hour. His temporary benefactor will be Sales Management Magazine, which would like Sports Illustrated to become a major advertiser. His good fortune will come about this way: A space salesman for Sales Management will arrive, accompanied by armed guards from Brink's bearing the cash, who will then pile it on his desk, to represent the power of its annual subscription income. At the end of the presentation, the money will be picked up and returned to Brink's vaults.

Too bad, but let's hope Pete retained his composure and decided this matter on its intrinsic merits.

We greatly regret to have to report the deaths of two more well known and loyal members of the Class, Wes Wilkinson at Cleveland on June 19, and Howie Eldredge at South Carver, Mass., on August 25. The Class extends its sincere sympathy to the families of these men.

Harry Casler '30 (second from right), public affairs officer of the U.S. Embassy forthe Federation of Malaya and director of U.S. Information Service, participated inofficial ceremonies when American Ambassador Charles F. Baldwin (second from left)presented his credentials on April 29. The mid-day temperature and humidity madethe white ties and tails something less than ideal attire for the season.

Secretary, 30 Boxwood Dr. Stamford, Conn.

Treasurer, 9420 W. River St., Schiller Park, Ill.
