REUNION - SECOND CALL - '42s gigantic TWENTIETH on June 16-17-18. CharlieBrown has been in town early and signed up Middle Mass for all you guys and gals so we will have plenty of room for everyone. Don't forget to send in your reunion questionnaire to help in the committee's planning, there are big things afoot and we won't leave any stone unturned to make this a memorable occasion. And keep an eye on your mail, the inimitable Lipp is at it again and you'll not want to miss any of his witty reminders or newsletter coverage of things to come.

The Sharon Steel Corporation recently established an integrated public and industrial relations department as another step in consolidating and centralizing administrative responsibility. To affect this move, a tested staff of executives has been brought together including Dale Bartholomew, who will continue as manager of labor relations. Dale assumed these responsibilities in 1959, having previously served as superintendent of blast furnaces for six years. He originally joined Sharon Steel in 1945 following three years of service with the Air Force.

Dr. John Biel, who became director of laboratories for Lakeside Labs in 1959, has been appointed chairman of the Division of Medicinal Chemistry. John has been associated with the Labs since 1947 following attainment of his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. Prior to his recent appointment, he served the division as alternate councilor, and secretary, 1958-60. John and Shirley, with their three children, live in Milwaukee, Wis.

As assistant business manager of Grit Publishing in Williamsport, Penna., Deet Lamade is deeply involved in a current three million dollar expansion program encompassing a new printing press and building with more to be added later at a new site for the company. When weather permits, he swings away at his twelve handicap but hasn't effected any material change. During the snowbound months, bowling one night a week produces a 175 average which most teams, I'm sure, would be happy to have aboard. With two teenage boys in the family, it's not surprising to find him coaching a basketball team of 10-12-year-olds in. the winter and a 13-15-year-old baseball, team in the summer. Deet's usual success in the fall at bringing home venison for the family was frustrated this year and they will have to wait until next fall to replenish the larder. In the meantime, Deet, in his tenth year as chairman of the local interviewing committee has just completed another busy period reviewing applicants for the Big Green.

Congratulations are in order for Phil Moon, who has been made vice president of the National Bank of Detroit. Prior to his promotion he was assistant vicepresident. As you know, Phil has been active in Dartmouth affairs in the Motor City, serving first as secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Detroit and then as president from 1955 until 1958. He was elected to the Alumni Council for a one-year term in 1957. Phil, together with his wife Frances and two children, Richard and Madelyn, is making his home at 44 Oxford Rd. in Pleasant Ridge, Mich.

Last fall, State Senator Bob Crane was elected chairman of the New Jersey Tercentenary Commission charged with the responsibility of planning for the 1964 celebration as well as arranging for the state's participation in the World's Fair to be held in New York the same year. For the past two years, Bob has been a legislative member of the Commission and is deeply interested in a program for the creation in Trenton of a new state library and museum complex aswell as having an effective program throughout the state for the anniversary year. A year-end illness had Bob hospitalized and we hope that by the time this reaches print he will feel 100% again.

Bill Russell, of Mt. Tabor, N. J., was competing at year end in the American Contract Bridge League championship as well as entering the national master open pair event from which the winners and runners-up will become eligible for selection in the 1962. U. S. world championship team. As a member of the New Jersey Bridge League, he has competed in most of the major bridge tournaments in the East. Bill is employed' by Robert G. Edwards Associates in Morristown, N. J., as a land surveyor.

Among the most recent address changes are two upon which we expect to have more information later but in the meantime we find Leo Caproni, who has been manager of St. Croix-By-the-Sea at St. Croix in the Virgin Islands, has moved to Birmingham, Ala., and Paul Forte, an executive of Textile Thread Company in Massachusetts, has moved to Anniston, Ala. That's it for now, but we'll be back again as spring approaches and while you are perusing the new Class Directory.
