1938

"PACE SETTER Dawkins" we'll be calling him for a while. Y. P. Dawkins recently got out his first issue since heavier duties squeezed Scotford out of the responsibility. And Dawk did a fine job with his first blurb from White Plains, N. Y., where he can be reached at 112 East Post Road. Emphasis on reunion planning is very timely. If you have any ideas send them along to Dawk or John McLane, Chairman for the Big One in 1963 Your Twenty Fifth, Brother. It's later than you think, but plenty of time to plan to attend. Good luck, Dawk from all of us on the PACE SETTER.

Lou Frick was in Hanover with son, Roy, during the summer. He put stars in the lad's eyes by showing him the campus. The boy has lots of high school to finish before he rockets to Hanover.

Talked with Mallory and Whitey Mays while in New York. Both are in fine fiddle, especially the White-man. He has a Junior wearing a beanie in Hanover this fall, and expects to spend as much time as possible visiting the campus. Mai and Helen had a busy summer with the five kids. First, there was the wedding of Debbie on the West Coast in June. Back in New Canaan, Conn., there was plenty of activity with Barbara, Robb, Blaine, and little Wright. But the glass seller holds up well at home and at his office at Anchor Hocking. He, Frick,Duckworth and Mays are looking for a formula that will better unite the Class in New York. Recent meetings have been poorly attended, and a spark is needed, Mai states. Incidentally, the New York Club has been moved from 39th and Park to the Commodore Hotel.

Bob Harvey, the Reverend Robert Harvey, is at St. Augustine's College, Canterbury, England. He's attending a central theological seminary of the Anglican Communion during the 1961-1962 academic year. Bob's had a great experience in the Church. He built up a little parish in Aurora, Ill., added a lovely church, and has now gone on to more of the Higher Power's work. Bob writes: "Family: four boys, now. John is seventeen, George fourteen, both at Kent School. Reid and Nathaniel are at home. Little Nick is one, our pride and joy after all these years. As for travel, we'll have it. The year at Canterbury for me and Suzanne and the two young ones. At the end of the school year we hope to have enough money left to bring over the two older ones for a month or so of mooching around Europe and the islands. John is working on an NROTC scholarship for Dartmouth. That will help us stretch the green stuff for the others. I'm hoping during the year to get time to write a book on the Christian stewardship of money. . . . It's a timely subject for an investment man turned priest."

Peter Schaeffer is in the brokerage business having left Madison Avenue some time ago now. The switch from jazzy copy to profitable investments has posed Pete no great problems and he is reported doing fine with Shields and Company down Wall Street way.

Back to Whitey Mays, who also is a strong man in New York's business community. He reports that Duckworth is doing it fine with the N. Y. Daily News; that Frick is the Account Executive for House and Garden on his account; that Bob Gibson and Moose Taylor, both 1939, are prosperous. Gibson is a wheel with Toro tools and Moose is a mining, oil, and cattle mogul, headquartered in Colorado, I think. The Morgan and Jones textile official also sees Hutch who is doing a good job with Curtis Publishing and John Crandell '40, Time Magazine's office manager in New York. Mutt Ray '37, vice-president of Royal McBee, and Dave Camerer '37, writer, are also in recent range of White's New York contacts. He signed off with me saying that Slattery can now be reached at 417 Hill Street in San Francisco where he is happily and newly married. Whitey, Hank McDuff and Art, plus spouses, plan to join at the Yale game.

I've got a new questionnaire going out to you characters. It requires a little thought to complete. Maybe that's where I made my mistake, but returns are lousy. Strain a little boys. You've been awful good so far. Keep it up.

Dick Keresey hits the news again. This time the Harvard Business School releases the fact that Dick is enrolled in the Advanced Management Program. He is General Counsel, Esso, N. Y.

Russ Tolles got the Silver Beaver Award by the Mattatuck Council, Boy Scouts of America, Waterbury, Conn. Over a ten-year period Russ worked from Cubbing to District Scouting Leadership.

Bob Goldsmith of 15 Senate Place, Larchmont, N. Y., has been named vice-president of the Lawrence C. Gumbinner Advertising Agency in N. Y. C.

Dr. John Merrill of the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston is cited in Scientific American Magazine for his kidney transplant work.

Johnny Wiswall is Treasurer of Consolidated Paper Box in Somerville, Mass. And that ain't all. He's also a golfer and has official capacities with the National Paper Box Manufacturers, the Wakefield, Mass., Trust Co., the Wakefield Savings Bank and the Wakefield Gas and Light Department.

Sid Francis died on September 17 in the Massachusetts General Hospital after a short illness. A complete obituary on this beloved member of our Class will appear in the next issue of the MAGAZINE.

Al Pettoruto, a Lawrence, Mass., attorney, is a candidate for that State's Legislature. Capt. Vining Sherman, USN, of Plymouth, Mass., has been named second in command of the giant base at Yokosuka, Japan.

And that about does me, fellows. Let me hear from you, and fill out the questionnaires, when they arrive.
