194l

Happy 1962 from your Executive Committee, every member of which sincerely hopes that each and every member of the class and every member of their family will enjoy a happy, healthy and successful year.

1961 being the year of our Twentieth Reunion, it was most fitting that the year was replete with achievements of renown among our ranks. It seems like it was a year of particular distinction for our medicos. Dick and Barbara Olmstead journeyed from Philadelphia to Palmer Stadium to get a last look at the Big Green eleven and to bid farewell to their "Eastern" classmates before packing up for their move to Portland, Ore., where Dick inaugurates the New Year by assuming his new position of professor and chairman of the department of pediatrics at the University of Oregon Medical School. Dick has left his positions as assistant professor of pediatrics at Temple University School of Medicine and director of the out-patient department at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children in Philadelphia to assume this new undertaking.

It appears that the Barbaras are largely responsible for the recent professional successes of their husbands. I am certain that Dr. George Guerrieri of Stockbridge, Mass., also feels that his wife has been a prime mover in his rapid ascent to medical renown. At a cap and gown ceremony during the recent annual five-day clinical congress of the American College of Surgeons George was inducted as a new fellow of the world's largest organization of surgeons.

Dr. Dave McGaughey of Wallingford, Conn., was recently appointed associate medical director in the medical department of Connecticut General Life Insurance Company. Dave joined the company in 1952 and since 1958 he has been an assistant medical director. He is also a deputy director of civil defense in his hometown and surgeon for the Wallingford Fire Department.

1961 was also a year of uncontained parental pride in the accomplishments of the younger members of the Dartmouth family. Rumor has it the scouts have already submitted encouraging reports on the gridiron triumphs of several potentials for future Big Green elevens. Lou Young's fourteen- year-old son was a star lineman on a Pop Warner team that was selected to represent the Philadelphia area at Miami over the holidays. Ed Marlette's son directed the play of the Nichols Day School eleven as its quarterback during the last football season. He is only a sophomore. Whereas the necessity of being on hand to give his son a few last-minute instructions just before game time was the cause of Lou's not being able to join Stu Steffey, the Boltès, Kenworthys,Cashels and others to glory in the recent rout at Palmer Stadium, Marty and NancyGibbs delayed their attendance at a Dartmouth game until the Princeton game in order to witness the weekly exploits of their son on the high school gridiron.

The male members of the "young brood" were not the only ones to carve niches for themselves on the walls of the 1961 Hall of Fame. Bob Krieger's Nan won acclaim as the homecoming queen of her Minneapolis high school. It looks like we have a future Winter Carnival Queen in the making.

1961, a year of "hot issues" in Wall Street, was the year in which Don Samuel's brokerage firm of Ralph E. Samuel and Co. received public acknowledgment as the largest non-clearing house of the New York Stock Exchange. Don is in business with his father, also a Dartmouth man. With no selling organization and no board room the father-son combination does more than two hundred million dollars' worth of brokerage business a year. It also serves as an investment advisor to Energy Fund, a no-load investment fund of which Don is president. Before joining his father in Wall Street in 1948, Don worked as a store manager in the Robert Hall chain. In September Don, Berelle, and their three daughters (including twins) moved from Scarsdale to Manhattan.

Things have been popping in New Jersey recently. In December Arnold Bartlett assumed his new post of principal of Glen Ridge High School, moving from Hingham, Mass., where he held a similar post and served for several months in the capacity of Superintendent of Schools. Before going to Hingham, Arnold was principal of the Sharon High School and Sharon Seminary in Kingston, N. H. In addition, he was head of the English Department of the Chicago Latin School and he taught mathematics and English at Hillsboro, N. H. Last but not least, he is the father of ten children.

In October politico Don Hagen was appointed manager of the New Jersey Bell Telephone Company's Raritan Division Major Accounts Sales Office in Union, N. J. He was formerly an engineer in the company's Plant Extension Engineer's Office in Newark. Don has been with the Telephone Company for fifteen years. Don and Jane have ten children.

It was good to learn from across the river that Tom Jardine has completely recovered from the illness that prevented him from attending Reunion and that he is back in harness again as a busy attorney in Newark. Tom and Pete Coombs took in the Yale game and Tom "treated" his son to the Columbia game. Tom Trump recently had a cartilage removed from his knee. Here's hoping he has fully recovered by now.

Dana Chase's goal for 1961 was to overtake Arnold Bartlett as 1941's Number one father. During the year he chalked up another addition to the family to bring the total to six braves and two squaws. His oldest boy, Dana Jr., graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy last spring. In his spare time Dana supervises testing of solid rockets at Aerojet General in California.

Wonder what 1962 will bring!
