1923
Bob Haggart, the mastermind of The Haggart Construction Co., Fargo, N. D., says the motto of his firm is "Good Roads Help You."
Joe Lombardi writes that he and Raffaela would like to have any classmates passing through White Plains look in on them. They have a picture of a granddaughter to proudly show their visitors.
Joe Millar presented the secretary with four bound volumes, one for each year, of the Daily Dartmouths covering our four years in Hanover. During the six years they have been in the secretary's custody they have proved to be very interesting reading. If any group of 1923-ers wants these books for a month or two to pour over they can be packed in a wooden case and shipped via express to any part of the country. It seems Joe mailed each copy home in his laundry box and they were carefully preserved by Joe's parents. Joe is now President of the Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners of the state of New Jersey.
Joe Malone is carrying along exceedingly well his principalship of Boston English High School. Joe is considered an authority in the field of high school education. English High School opened its doors in 1821 and is today the oldest high school in the United States.
George and Jean McLaughlin have a vacation or holiday house on Christmas Lake, a few miles out of Minneapolis. Your secretary and his wife were visiting very briefly a neighbor of George's whose home is only 500 feet down the shore. Unfortunately the McLaughlins were away from home at the time. George has a Catamarian sailboard on this lake and would enjoy taking any visiting 1923-ers for a sail.
Joe Zone has had a very busy legal career in Stamford, Conn. He served as treasurer of Stamford from 1931 to 1939. He also served two terms as prosecuting attorney, one term as junior judge and one as senior judge of Stamford's City Court. Presently, he is a member of the Stamford Planning Board having been reappointed in i960 to a fiveyear term. He has practiced law in all courts of the state including the Supreme Court of Errors, Connecticut's highest tribunal and in the U. S. District Court for Connecticut. Joe graduated from Dartmouth, Summa Cum Laude, and was valedictorian of his class. He was graduated from Harvard Law School in 1926 and has actively practiced Jaw since. In 1927 he formed a partnership with former Judge Max Spelke. This partnership continued to 1952 when Judge Spelke retired for health reasons. Joe is now senior partner of Zone, Bernstein and King of Stamford.
George G. "Bud" Fisher is now retired from government service and thus finds time to be chairman of the National Y.M.C.A. Physical Education Committee and the Olympic Committee on volleyball. Two years ago Bud married Elinor Curtis (his date at a Dartmouth Junior Prom).
Freddy Davis not only is a vice president of Travelers Insurance Co. but he also finds time to be vice president of Constitution Plaza, Inc., a redevelopment corporation for the downtown office center of Hartford. It Is our understanding Fred is doing considerable after-dinner speaking on this program. While Bill Blake was president of the Hartford Rotary Club, in 1959-1960, Freddy was his right-hand man as chairman of the entertainment committee.
Willard C. Cousins is now manager of special services in the life agency department of Aetna Life Insurance Co. of Hartford. Willard joined the company in 1925 and subsequently served as general agent at Springfield. Called to the main office at Hartford in 1933 he became supervisor of accident and health production, and in 1950 was appointed field supervisor.
Peyton Hawes now has one of his Pay Less Drug Stores in Albany, Coos Bay, Cornwallis, Eugene, Klamath Falls, La Grande, Medford, Pendleton, Portland, Roseburg, Salem and The Dalles all in the state of Oregon; also in Pasco, Richland, Walla Walla, and Yakima in Washington; one in Redding, Calif., and one in Lewiston, Idaho. His general offices and warehouses are in Portland, Ore.
Joe Schiffenhaus, President of Schiffenhaus Bros., Newark, N. J., would welcome the visit of any 1923 classmate at his corrugated fibreboard container plant in Newark.
Win Wadleigh proudly announces that his son Theodore, Dartmouth '56 and Michigan Law School '59, is now practicing law with him.
Johnny Paisley sent in five very interesting photographs taken while we were in college. The secretary is starting a collection of these pictures and they will be on exhibition in Hanover at the Brown game next October 14. It is hoped many 1923-ers will find their way to Hanover for this weekend which might very well be made to include the October 12 holiday, which falls on Thursday. The foliage is usually at its height at this time.
Roger Melvin Wilkinson of Southport, Conn., manager of price forecasting in Socony Mobil Oil Company's economics and special studies department, retired at the end of 1960. Roger, who joined the "company in 1923, thus completed 37 years of service. In 1942 he was appointed assistant director of marketing and distribution in the Petroleum Administration for War in Washington. This important appointment has never been reported in this MAGAZINE. At the end of the war Roger returned to the company as manager of marketing analysis and assumed his present responsibilities in early 1959.
"Double Dracula" is the title suggested by Ralph Duffy '23 (left) and Jerry Spaulding '24, who were star performers as the Players Club of Worcester, Mass., staged a "Bungling Bros. Hokum and Wailing Circus" on March 2 and 3. Mrs. Duffy was the director, which may explain Ralph's willingness to perform daringly on the tightrope, attired in vivid blue tights and orange striped shorts.
Secretary, 170 Washington St. Haverhill, Mass.
Class Agent, James D. Landauer Associates, Inc. 666 Fifth Ave., New York 19, N. Y.
