1919

Among the '19ers seen in Hanover during the summer and early fall were Madeleine and Bunny Collins, who desert Sarasota in hot weather and come to New Hampshire at the nearby Ragged Mountain Club; Ed Warnke, on his way to the White Mountains; Mary and Larry McCutcheon of Pompano Beach, Fla., who spent the summer in Canada and New England; and Mary and Jim Davis, who have adopted New Hamp shire as their home - the town is Henniker. There were probably many others in town, but your Secretary was away frequently and doubtless missed them. Virginia and ChetJDemond, Chet fully recovered from a heart attack, came in during September, and got Virginia's nephew installed in the class of 1965. Hattie and Bob Paisley enjoyed a fine trip to Europe during the summer. Quoting in part from a letter from Hattie, "We took an American Export Line cargo boat over. There were ten other first-class passengers and we enjoyed every minute. We debarked in Genoa and then took the train through Italy, stopping at Florence, Rome, and Milan. We trained to Zurich and were there a week. We then took off by car with our friends from Tanganyika, taking in Holland, Belgium, and Germany. From Hamburg we flew to London and home again by 'S.S. Berlin' of the North German Lloyd Line."

Win Batchelder is associate chairman of the Darien (Conn.) Fund Drive for 1961, continuing his long interest in civic affairs. He was formerly Chairman of the Board of Education and President of the Dartmouth Club of Western Connecticut. Batch retired a few years ago as President of the National Credit Office. A press release from the Famous Artists Schools of Westport, Conn, states: "Rear Admiral Paul J. Halloran has taken to art as a retirement hobby. He has just completed a three-year course in commercial art and illustration, and was recently the proud recipient of a handsome certificate from this home study school. The Westport Art Institute is headed by a faculty of distinguished artists among whom are Norman Rockwell, Albert Dome and Jon Whitcomb. Rear Admiral Halloran had had no previous art training but he feels painting or drawing are excellent hobbies for those contemplating retirement."

William L. Phinney Jr. was recently appointed assistant professor of mathematics in the School of Business Administration at Canisius College. Bill retired in May from the Western Electric Company, where he had been quality assurance engineer and supervisor since 1943. A picture of GordonMeader appeared in a recent issue of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin with the news that he was the newly appointed director of the Maritime Museum at 219 South 6th Street. Gordon helped organize the Philadelphia Ship Model Society in 1931. A card from Elizabeth and Norm Sterling from Painter's Lodge Fishing Resort, Campbell River, British Columbia indicated that Norm is chasing the elusive salmon, as is his annual custom, before making the trip back to Hanover in October. One of the local papers announces the resignation of Rev. Frederick W. Alden D.D., minister of the New Hamp shire Congregational-Christian Conference. Fred has been elected a full professor in the Department of Ministry at the Hartford Seminary Foundation, Hartford, Conn.

Charlie Singleton, whom most of us have not seen for too many years, comes through with a brief note, "It is always good to receive a birthday card from you, representing the Dartmouth Class of 1919. It gives me certainly a feeling of nostalgia - very warm indeed." Charlie is a partner in the insurance agency, Altman-Singleton Co. at 114 West 10th Street, Kansas City 5, Mo.

Twenty prominent Americans have been appointed by the House and Senate and met in Washington in August. Their mission was to study ways of strengthening the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance. This group, called the U. S. Citizens Commission on NATO, was set up by the last Congress and instructed to organize an Atlantic convention of similar groups from the fifteen NATO countries. 1919 is represented on this distinguished group of citizens by Alex Warden, whom your Secretary has been trying to get back to our Woodstock-Hanover gathering for some time. Alex now advises that all his new duties prevent him from coming, but to keep on reminding him and he will make it eventually. (See's note - the old saw, it's later than you think, Alex.) However, we will continue to plan the Woodstock-Hanover assembly for the mid-October game as long as our good friends Frank Holmes, owner of the Woodstock Inn, and Jim McFate of the Hanover Inn will take care of us in their accustomed wonderful fashion. An account of this year's gathering will have to wait until the December issue of the MAG-AZINE, but, as of late September, it looks like the biggest and best ever.
