1933

We would be remiss if we didn't mention, in this first issue since the Alumni Fund, the terrific job done by Sid Stoneman and his loyal assistant agents in surpassing our previous high dollar total of $15,159, registered in 1957, by $3,270. Yes, 375 out of a possible 486 givers contributed $18,429 - an average of just a shade under $5O - and incidentally and generously our average class age. That represents 80% of our dollar objective. No one will dispute Sid's entitlement to a 1933 Man of the Year Award. Sid, incidentally, has asked that we use this column to express his heartfelt thanks to all who made this achievement possible.

Among our summer gleanings is a welcome letter from Bob Goodell who has been in Germany for over five years with the U. S. Information Service, first, as Director of the America House at Koblenz; then to Frankfurt as Cultural Officer and, in 1959 to the American Embassy at Bad Godesberg, Bonn, as Chief of the Cultural Operations Unit which involves providing books, speakers, artists and exhibits to the twenty America Houses in West Germany. Bob has kept his hand in teaching, having held appointments in American literature at the Universities of Frankfurt and Bonn. He indicates that he wishes that we here in the States could know more of the valuable work being done by the USIS since he feels that we hear mostly the bad reports. Bob expected to be in Washington on home leave in August and then to be reassigned, possibly to the Far East.

Bob Sands writes from Caracas, Venezuela indicating that this column has assisted in the shattering of six years of isolation for him. Bill Lang had read about Bob's being in Caracas and called him when he was on a mission to U. S. Steel's Venezuelan subsidiary, the Oronoco Mining Company. Bill promised to stop in Caracas on his next trip, complete with tennis racquet and swim trunks.

Stan and Del Colla were the only ones brave enough to admit to being old enough to have children of marriageable age this summer. Early in June, they were kind enough to advise us of the then forthcoming marriage on the 24th of their son, Coleman Parker Colla, to Miss Leslie Eugenia Collins, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Collins of Pasadena, Calif., where the wedding was held. Miss Collins attended Smith and Stan's and Del's boy graduated from both Dartmouth and the Thayer School.

Apparently the quacking of ducks kept in the Medical Science Building has been a problem to the neighboring residents of Rope Ferry Road and Bill Gillies heard of it. Helpful Bill wrote to the Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds suggesting the use of an electrostatic precipitator. Sure enough the College had one, but it was too far away to be effective. At least, Bill deserves an "A for effort" in good Samaritanism.

It is with deep regret that we report the passing of Danny Rollins' second wife. We're sure that everyone in the class joins us in our sympathies for Danny for whom this is the second such experience in recent years.

When we picked a treasurer, we sure got quality. Listen to this about George Farrand, recently elected a director of the N. Y. State Society of CPAs. He, too, started with Lybrand, Ross Brothers and Montgomery, is a second year Tuck graduate, and is now treasurer of Young and Rubicam, Inc., the international advertising agency. Before his present position, he was in research with the American Institute of Accountants; did a stint in the Navy; worked in the Office of Contract Settlement immediately after the war and returned to public accounting beand still holds several offices on the state and national level in the various accounting, controller and financial management associations. He also has lectured at various colleges and written many articles in his field. He and Polly live in Upper Montclair and have three children: George Jr., Lehigh 58; Carolyn, Colby Jr. '59 and Richard in high school. George will be blowing the bugle for class dues shortly so why don't you get it off his and your minds pronto when you receive his notice.

Dick Goldthwaite, world famous specialist in glacial geology and polar studies and also director of the newly founded Polar Institute at Ohio State University, made a five-day visit in June to the University of Alaska and Fairbanks under the sponsorship of the American Geological Institute's visiting scientist program. He made a series of speeches before university, technical and civic groups.

Pete Hart, newly appointed U. S. Ambassador to Yemen and Saudi Arabia, was honored at a buffet supper reception given for him by the Charge d'Affaires of Yemen, Assayed Ahmad Zabarah, before his departure for his new post in early July. He also paid a final call on President Kennedy before leaving. His wife, Jane, and daughters, Margaret and Judith spent part of the summer with Jane's parents in Evanston, Ill., prior to joining Pete in August in Jedda, the capital of Saudi Arabia.

Congratulations are due Bob Dickson upon his elevation to the presidency of Walter Kidde and Company, well-known manufacturers of fire extinguishers. Bob graduated from second year Tuck and went directly into accounting with Lybrand, Ross Brothers and Montgomery which firm he left in 1941 to go with Kidde as chief accountant. He became controller in 1947; vice-president in 1952; administrative vice-president in 1957; a member of the board in 1958; executive vice-president in 1959. Bob and his wife, May, live in Montclair, N. J. They have three children: Dave '62, Susan and Deborah. Nice going, Bob.

Win Hobbs, vice-president of the Corporation Trust Co. of Washington, D. C., and New York, former chairman of the board of the Scarsdale, N. Y., Community Fund and president of the Fund, was back in harness again this spring assisting his successor on the Fund. He has been a resident of Scarsdale for thirteen years where he served on the education and the zoning and planning committees. He and Emily have three children: David E. '63; Dorothy E. and Frederick G.

A fitting tribute has been paid to CharlieWebster with his election as vice president of the Controllers Institute Research Foundation. The election took place in August at a meeting of Foundation's board of trustees at Virginia Beach. Last year Charlie was elected vice president in charge of finance by the National Biscuit Company, a firm he joined as clerk in 1933. His office is now located in New York City.

John Labbe, who attended Dartmouth with us and then Oregon is the co-author with Vernon Goe of "Railroads in the Woods," published by Howell-North. Both writers are down to earth woodsmen, John going right into the woods upon graduation, and "wrote this story out of their own muscles and memories." The latest we have on John is that he still is active in the lumber business in Sandy, Ore.

Fred Birmingham's new book, "The Ivy League Today" continues to receive good reviews. The latest we've seen, from the San Francisco Chronicle, ends with: "Mr. Birmingham's advice — Go northeast young man." Which reminds us — we should all begin thinking in that vein since our Thirtieth - yes, we said our Thirtieth - is just around the corner in June 1963. The boys around New York got the jump on the rest of us in that direction late in the spring and had, what they hope will be, their first of many annual 1933 get-togethers. 33 '33ers gathered at the Dartmouth Club from New York City, Westchester, Long Island, Connecticut and New Jersey. A committee composed of Heagan Bayles, Hal Mackey, BobNeibling, Mel Katz, Ned Lord, Hank (N.J.Hank) Smith, Manny Sprague and Jack Robinson joined in gathering the clan from their respective areas. They do admit that they had to admit to honorary membership the bartender to make the magic number 33. How about some of you fellows in other areas following suit and keeping '33 on the ball.
