1949

Our New England musical representative. Nathan Gottschalk, carried the banner of muse Calliope to Hanover, where he directed the Dartmouth Community Symphony Orchestra, the Handel Society Chorus, and assorted soloists in a performance of Bach's

"St. John Passion." The testimony of an ear witness has stated that this concert was quite good. Mr. Gottschalk, as you know a violinist of considerable capability, was last heard of guiding the affairs of the Hart College of Music in Hartford.

By an equally circuitous route we have an unequivocal judgment that our architectural agent, Clayt Morey, is making something of vital importance in a big job for the Louisville & Nashville Railroad. Things are even more mysterious when we fail to learn whether this big job is a depot, office building, a platform for stalking up and down on while waiting for a train, or just what. However, the railroads are in such a state that anything Architect Morey does for them is Welcome and a Credit to our class.

Burgess Stanley scored a near Rochester miss the other day when he phoned from Ithaca to flop out of a threatened side trip here. The A. B. Stanley Company, of which our boy is a key member, makes laboratory layouts, cabinetry and counter tops, hoods, and all that sort of thing, for schools and industry. Burge at least sent me beautiful color pictures of their new approach to furniturizing the halls of science; they are light years distant from the dingy mortuaries one is accustomed to.

Ray Perry, our Scotch Tape man in Miami, avers, "Hanover seems pretty remote from Florida. The Winter Carnival is hard to visualize after years in a tropical climate." Any of those of us who have been shoveling through this winter could probably be forced to volunteer to test out Raymond's hypothesis. He says that the Miami Dartmouth Club is a hopping affair.

Our large and flourishing 1949 Insurance Agents Association reports that Bob Sawyer has merged with three other leading Greenfield, Mass., agents to form one of the largest and most flourishing agencies at 41 Federal Street. Bob and Nancy have three kids, now 6, 4 and 2. Bob has held several important posts in Greenfield civic enterprises, such as the Chamber of Commerce, the Greenfield Club, and the Franklin County Association of Insurance Agents.

Long John McIlwraith writes from the hinterlands of Midland, Mich., where he is keeping the lid on the Dow Chemical operations. He has been involved in the advertising of building products.

Our participant in Having-one's-house-de-stroyed-by-gas-explosions, Claude Offray, says that miraculously no one was hurt. If our dope is current, Claude and Gloria live(d) in Summit, N. J., and have two children, Vic and Denise. Claude is in the family business of making and importing things like ribbons, velvets and tapes.

Do not be surprised to see this column quintuple in length and quality shortly, as your Secretary is getting a good bit of high caliber help from undercover associates in your very midst. This program is aimed at ferreting out news of those unsung members of this Class, whose modesty has through the years kept their names out of the public eye.
