1933

A goodly number of the Class was present for the Fall Reunion to which the 34-0 rout of Brown gave added pleasure. BobFox and George Farrand and their squaws were present to represent the officers and report a terrific job by Mel and Ruth Katz in gathering the clan and organizing the luncheon at Occom Lodge and the post-game dinner at the Mitchell Club in Vermont. We could not be present because of parents' weekends at Colby Junior and K.U.A. and had reluctantly foregone even going to Hanover for a brief interlude in order to devote full time to our youngsters. But, a Dartmouth lad intervened and asked our daughter, Les, to the game so we did get there long enough to pick her up and take her back to school. This brought with it the good fortune of seeing George and Ray Theriault who have a delightful apartment as "faculty in residence" at Bissell and Cohen dormitories where we had arranged to meet Les. They were officiating at after-game coffee for the students and their guests. As you know their home on Valley Road has been known for some time as Bedlam Manor. We wonder if their new diggings won't earn the same title since it is located right in back of fraternity row and they report being surrounded by a water fight the first night of school. They also advised us that Don D'Arcy had to miss the weekend because of a severe attack of bursitis and a trip to Arizona for recuperation. We sure sympathize with Don. There is nothing worse. That Saturday was his birthday and we understand that due recognition was to have been given to his joining those of us who have reached the midfield stripe of Fifty, by the presentation of a cake at midfield during the half.

Back to the "reunion." We'll give it to you as received over the 'phone from BobFox, who didn't have his list of those attending at the office, so apologies for any omissions. The McKees from Cleveland came the farthest and were joined by the Chapmans, Mackeys, Drownes, Mecks, Theriaults, Blacks, Katzes, Valensis, Farrands,Foxes, Kimballs, the Ev Shinemans and Bill Dewey and Johnny Faegre who had with him John Krumme '63, one of the key players in the Brown game. Bob also reports on seeing the Carl Shinemans and their three boys, all drenched, after the game and their begging off to go in search of accommodations which were at a premium around Hanover. Despite the damp conditions, Bob reports a wonderful time was had by all. 1933 will be getting together again for a football weekend next fall in Hanover so why not start planning on it now.

We are happy to report on Cliff Johnson's being back in shape again after a disc operation last spring. We say in shape, but, actually, he's much smaller than he's been in recent years due to religious adherence to a strict diet. We understand that Norm andMargaret Erlandson have been in Georgia celebrating their entrance into the realms of grandparenthood and visiting the proud parents, their daughter, Margaret and her husband, Peter Brightman '58.

As soon as available each fall, we give you the names of the lucky '33 fathers who have sons entering Dartmouth as freshmen. This year we have thirteen, topped only by fourteen in the Class of 1963. This years crop brings our total to 74 since Bob Taylor's son Bob broke the ice for '33 sons by being admitted with the Class of 1955. Incidentally, as you might expect, all sons who were accepted actually matriculated. Here are the lucky ones in 1965: Bob (Mathis)Cox's son Robert; Hank Dericks - Gerard H. Jr.; Jerry Dutcher - David P.; Ed Eldridge — Paul A.; Mel Hershenson - Frank J.; Ed Knapp— Edwin B.; Mac McCoy - Allen H.; Hank McKee - Robert P.; DickMosher - Richard T. Jr.; Hal Naramore - Michael; Art Oesterheld - David A.; AlTerry - Charles D.; Ralph Wolff - Ralph F. Jr. These boys must have smart mothers.

The big news this month comes from Gay Milius whose wife Martha presented him with a baby girl, Martha Estes, on October 18 at De Paul Hospital in Norfolk, Va., where he is legal officer at the Naval Air Station there. Can't you see the Commander popping those Navy brass buttons with justifiable pride. Class congratulations to you both. Gay reports on seeing Jim Pimper at a Federal Bar Association convention in Washington; describes him as "a big-wig in the Maritime Commission." While "in-waiting," he has given much time to his ham radio activities and booked stations from lll foreign countries, most behind the iron curtain. His new call letters are W4NJF. The local station at the Air Station, of which he is a trustee, recently received commendations for participation in the alert connected with Hurricane Esther and also for over 300 messages between crewmen of the "USS Randolph" on maneuvers in the Caribbean and their families. He continues his interest in the stage and appeared in "The Pleasure of His Company" with the local military players group. Gay deserves special recognition as ye scribe's most faithful correspondent. We get at least one newsy letter from him each year. How about following suit, fellas.

BUI Porter was recently named general manager of the Foster Machine Co. of Westfield, Mass., where he had been vicepresident and treasurer since 1953. Previously, he had been with Johns-Mansville Co.; U. S. Steel Corp.; Firestone Tire and Rubber Co. and the Westfield River Paper Co. where he was vice-president, treasurer and a director. A member of the National Association of Accountants, and active in civic affairs, Bill and Marian have two children, Jane sixteen and Paul thirteen. BobFairbank has just been made executivevice-president of the Towmotor Corp. of Cleveland, this promotion coming on the heels of his appointment to the board last spring. He had been with Firestone Tire and Rubber Co. from graduation until 1951 when he joined his present organization. Bob and Dorothy are the proud parents of Bob Jr. '60, Jonathan '62 and daughter, Marianne, not yet old enough to try to follow her brothers' suits at Dartmouth. We have a newspaper clipping from Vermont indicating that Doug Field is still teaching at the Sterling School in Craftsbury where, we understand he is dean and teaches math and physics. Aside from a post-graduation stint with the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank and war-time service in the Army, he has devoted his life to teaching at the Beacon School, Wilbraham Academy, Stuyvesant School and the Berkshire School until the opening of Sterling Prep in 1958. Doug and his wife, the former Margaret Sterling (is there a connection, Doug?), have four children: Douglas fourteen, William twelve, Susan nine, and Nancy eight.
