1941

Once again October, the month of diamond greatness and gridiron prowess, hardly made its debut before it saddened many hearts. Forever mindful of Alexander Pope's counsel to the effect that "hope springs eternal in the human breast," Lew Johnstone, Dr. Sandy Courter, Grant Hesser,Frank Simpson and Tony Nanos have deluged the Cincinnati office of Western Union with wires to their New York friends to "wait until next year." Cheer up fellas and seek solace in the comforting reports on results of the first two sorties of Coach Blackman's charges. These early displays of gridiron genius are certain to generate large turnouts at the remaining games away and in Hanover. If T.V. does not keep too many Big Green rooters away from the Yale Bowl on November 4, I am sure that the usual large number of 41'ers will be on hand. In past years New Haven has served as an off-year reunion site. Also the Brown and Cornell games will probably draw a lot of returnees to Hanover, particularly such football enthusiasts as Paul Mahoney, now a sales representative for the Nashua Corp., of Englewood Cliffs, N. J., and Dr. JackSelby. Paul and Jack have the added incentive of returning to Hanover to give a few pointers to their sons who just entered the freshman class.

When Congress returns to "work" in January, it ought to consider passing a resolution making October "Doctors' Month." Already we have alluded to the doings of two of our Hippocratic brethren. And this is only the beginning. Dr. Sandy Courter, a noted cardiologist, was recently elected President of the Heart Association of Greater Cincinnati. Dr. Win Shorey is now operating in high gear as the new dean of the University of Arkansas School of Medicine in Little Rock, a position which he assumed on August 1. Win was chosen from a list of 75 candidates for this important post. His only regret is that he had to leave beautiful Coral Gables, Fla., where he has been entrenched for the last six years as associate dean of the University of Miami School of Medicine, to assume this new undertaking. Win and Jeanette, also a physician, joined forces when both were medical students at the University of Pennsylvania.

Dr. Monty Winship, a diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, believes in basing the subject matter of addresses to civic groups on practical experience as well as professional qualifications. Monty, father of three girls and a boy, recently spoke to a Lions Club meeting on "The Role of the Parent." In addition to being in private practice in New Britain, Conn., he is head of the psychiatry department at the New Britain General Hospital, staff consultant at Children's Village in Hartford and consultant for the local school system.

Dr. Bob Rainie of Concord, N. H., is a master of more than one art. He led the singing of college songs at a recent all-New Hampshire alumni dinner sponsored by the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Merrimack County in honor of President-Emeritus Ernest Martin Hopkins. He was probably conscripted for this assignment by Steve Winship, the present President of the Association.

Another doctor is achieving renown in a different field of endeavor. Dr. ConradBrandt, a member of the Department of Political Science at the University of California at Berkeley as a teacher of modern Chinese politics, was recently appointed to the Editorial Advisory Board of Encyclopaedia Britannica to supervise Far Eastern History articles. He is well qualified for this assignment by virtue of his experiences in Japan, Hong Kong and India; his tenure as a consultant with the office of Intelligence Research of the U.S. Department of State; and his association with Harvard's Research Program in Chinese Economic and Political Studies.

Another illustrious educator, Dr. DustyRodes, president of General Motors Institute, recently addressed a dinner meeting of a subsection of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers on "General Motors Institute on the Horizon."

It is time to descend from Cloud 9 to the lower stratum that engulfs the business world, which, fortunately, is never devoid of achievement. Hank Palmer is the newly proclaimed number one resident of Salisbury, N. C. As executive director of the Salisbury-Rowan Chamber of Commerce, he was instrumental in prevailing on the firm that is the largest manufacturer of industrial wire cloth in this country to build a large subsidiary plant in Salisbury. GeorgeKruger, the newly appointed vice-president and technical director of the mining industry activities of the Chase Manhattan Bank, was recently elected a director of Inspiration Consolidated Copper Co., a New York copper producer.

How many squaws accustomed to casting occasional glimpses at the television soap operas while they are dishing out luncheon to the papooses are aware of the fact that the heroine of "Search for Tomorrow" for ten eventful, drama-packed years has been Mary Krolik, wife of public relations executive, Dick Krolik? As of September 3, Mary, known in the entertainment world as Mary Stuart, portrayed Joanne Tate in some 2,600 installments of "Search for Tomorrow," which has been on the air longer than any other daytime serial. Mary learned her acting skills at Tulsa University in Oklahoma, where she played numerous roles at the college's Little Theatre. In addition she organized and constructed a children's theatre, which not only presented plays regularly on stage but also broadcast them on a Tulsa radio station. After college, Mary came to New York to further her dramatic career. While working as a camera girl she was spotted by Joe Pasternak of M-G-M and given a movie contract. During the next few years she appeared in some forty films. After some five years in Hollywood, Mary returned to New York and began to work in television, appearing on such live shows as "Kraft Theatre," "Suspense" and others. It was not until she and Dick tied the knot in 1951 that she landed her present role. Mary's daily schedule of four and a half hours rehearsing for the daily fifteen-minute telecast and the actual telecast does not interfere with her home life, which is spent between their New York City apartment and their "little place" in Weston, Conn.
