1938

Sandy Mills gave up a beat-up appendix to Dr. John R. Reed '41 at Cleveland's University Hospital this April end, and I'm told the digit wasn't suitable for transplanting even in a muttnik. But the old partition-builder survived the slit in grand style and is serenely back on Corona-Coronas. Roland "Bill" Jones, Sigma Nu and six-two, once a Massachusetts native, may leave Hinsdale, Ill., to join the Tow Motor Company here in Cleveland. He'd be in Sales there under Bob Fairbank '33, and become a welcome member of this excellent Dartmouth Group. (And I'm originally from Joisey.)

Clem Sandresky is Dean of the School of Music of Salem College, Winston-Salem, N. C. There is a bride, of course, and two children, but Clem didn't send along names. Hi, anyway.

Ted Thorne, Pan Am's Public Relations expert, has a couple of lads, Keith and Cameron on the High and Junior High School ladders leading 'to Hanover. Then, there's Kirby who is pushing his way up from the lower rung in grammar school. With Edna, 'the boys all live in New Canaan, Conn., and the old man occasionally languishes in Nassau or Montego Bay as part of the job of promoting travel.

"Hi, Marty!," is about all the detail received from one of this Class whom this editor highly respects. It's Merrill N. DavisJr., and we very 'badly want him "to come home" to his rightful spot as a leader of the Class. I sometimes think that I haven't helped "Stinky" much . . . certainly, not that he needs it from me . . . but I did call him out in La Crosse, Wis., some years back, and he gave me a swell story for the Pace Setter. In effect, as I now recall it, he said 'he always earned the love and respect for (he College and 'the Class, and hoped he could be more active. Other things developed in my party-bound days and I never ran the piece. Well, it's run now, and I sincerely feel that I'm the boob. Let's look for "Stinky" up at the Twenty Fifth. Maybe we'll have some work for him. Merrill can be reached at 405 Rivoli Building in La Crosse Where he and Mary have Merrill III, Carolyn and Loring, and the Old Man is a City Councilman besides an Equitable Life Assurance Society-man.

But, there is somehow time for the Warner gang 'to sail up to Georgian Bay and around the North Channel summers.

H. S. "Skip" French is Vice President and Trust Officer of the Marshall and Iisley Bank in Milwaukee and a Director of Time Insurance Co. The Frenches have three boys and a girl: Steve, a sophomore at Miami University, Ohio; John, High School sand Michael in grade school. Mary is also in grammar. Old Savoir Faire Gorman and lovely Jean meet with the Frenches, and the Schlitz is on "Skip."

Ever since we had the Capital Gifts Drive I've gotten into the mental rut that I'm caught up on giving to Dartmouth for a while. . . . But That Just Ain't Right. Maybe I'm only speaking to me . . . but if it applies also to you . . . wake up . . . I will too. The 1961 Alumni Fund needs help and I hope these notes are a good reminder.

Another brief note from Bob Hallock reporting all is well in Holden, Mass. FranReilly still protecting 'the beff as a legal guy with Wilson and Co., hamburgers to basketballs. He and Beverly have Martha and John and all goes well around the Loop. FrankWright is still bottled up as West Coast Manager of the Glass Container Manufacturer's Institute . . . seems like that means he's also working for Mallory of somebody and somebody and Hocking Company. Funny how 'that Hocking is all I can remember. Frank's wife, Jeannette, held a nine 'handicap in the Women's Western. We'll have to arrange a match with Mrs. Duckworth at Reunion. Roy and Frank can caddy. Daughters Jean and Margaret are fine.
