1930
Hello again, and we hope every one had a good summer, even as we. Before it might slip our mind, are you all set to foregather for cocktails and dinner on the evening of November 3, at the Yale Motor Inn, Wallingford, Conn., following what we hope may be a Dartmouth victory in the Yale Bowl? Full details have been sent out by Charlie Rauch, and we sincerely hope to have a very sizable turnout on this occasion which is a bit of a departure from the previous custom of holding our informal re- unions in the vicinity of Hanover.
Usually at this time of year we would expect to have a roster of children’s wed- dings to mention, and another of European trips taken by classmates and their families, but this must have been a different kind of year, for we have heard of only one of each. Charlie and Eleanor Raymond’s daughter Sally was married July 14 to Raymond S. Locke, USA, in St. John’s Episcopal Church, Barrington, R. I. They will live in Panama during Ray’s military service. Sally was graduated from Connecticut College in June.
Charlie and Anne McDonough decided one day to make another visit to Spain, and were off the next for what they said was a very enjoyable vacation.
Nelson Rockefeller will be running for re- election as Governor of New York State, against (at the time this is written) an as yet unselected Democratic opponent. He has participated in many, many activities and it would be a simple matter to fill this column with accounts of various of his speeches, ribbon cuttings, and so on, but you all have read of many of these events and recounting them would leave no space to write about others. So let us confine this paragraph to expressing the sincere hope, in which we are sure all classmates will join, that we will awaken on the morning of November 7 to learn that he has been successful in his bid for reelection to a very important post in the field of public service.
XXX txxv xxwxvx vxx. UVX T xw* Some weeks ago we had a very nice letter from Paul Freeman who has spent fifteen years with the Educational Testing Service in Princeton, the last two as assistant direc- tor of curriculum studies, a group concerned with testing and evaluating new high school curriculums. Paul has had the misfortune to contract multiple sclerosis and is leaving the Educational Testing Service, for this reason, but he has many plans to engage in a num- ber of activities from his home, such as preparation of tests, correspondence with educators, and teaching music theory. At Dartmouth he was a music major, played the banjo in the Barbary Coast, and the bass drum in the band. In later years he became an accomplished guitarist. Paul spent several years in military service during which he supervised a variety of testing programs in gunnery and for the Air Force. After the war he pursued his studies and received his doctorate in Education from Columbia in 1953.
Last winter we essayed duplicate bridge for the first time, after having played con- tract for years, and managed to pick up about one-eighth of a master point for the winter’s effort. Recently we read in a bridge magazine that Sam Stayman, of Stayman con- vention and other bridge fame, had amassed 2,889 master points in his lifetime. Like the Mets, we are not going to stop playing this game, but we know we will never catch up. In the late spring Sam played at the international tournament at Juan-les-Pins on the French Riviera but placed only twen- tieth, where four years ago he and his part- ner had won the event. Soon after that he was a member of a team which won the Reisinger Cup at the Eastern States cham- pionships held in New York.
Among the bankers we find that Si Chan-dler was elected executive vice-president of the Connecticut Bankers Association at its annual convention held in June at West Harwich, Mass. Pete Heftier, from whom little has been heard in many years, is a director of the Manufacturers National Bank, Detroit, and otherwise is a member of the law firm of Bodman, Longley, Bogle, Armstrong & Dahling.
Rhode Island College awarded the hon- orary degree of Doctor of Pedagogy to Fran Horn, president of the University of Rhode Island. If our reckoning is correct, this is his eighth different degree of a total of ten held, and this must make him our most degreed classmate. His vacation, as usual, was spent in Provincetown.
At about the same time it was announced that Ave Raube had been elected a vice president of the Na- tional Industrial Con- ference Board, with which he has been as- sociated for the past twenty years. He is an author and lecturer on employee relations practices, and is direc- tor of the Board’s di- vision of personnel administration. He has also been on both the President’s Advisory Committee on Industrial Safety and the Personnel and Labor Committee of the Na- tional Management Council.
Charlie and Larry Widmayer attended the summer conference of the American Alumni Council in Banff, and then enjoyed a taste of ranch life on the way home at Jackson Hole, Wyo. Charlie is director for publica- tions of the Council and had charge of the alumni magazine part of the program.
Horst Orbanowski was out sailing again this summer; in fact, week after week his Atlantic class sailboat, “Ann,” placed first or second in its class in the various Long Is- land Sound regattas. He is highly pleased that his son Peter is a Dartmouth freshman this year.
Pete Callaway was one of a group who sued in Federal court to compel the Inter- state Commerce Commission to rescind an order increasing commutation fares on the New Haven Railroad. This action was brought on behalf of the Westport Com- muters Association and all other commuters between Connecticut and New York City. We appreciate having unknowingly been joined to this effort, but have learned noth- ing about its result except to observe that no fares have reverted to previous levels.
Eddie Jeremiah has been honored by be- ing named coach of the 1964 United States Olympic hockey team. Buck Downey has been named principal of the newly built Fairgrounds Junior High School in Nashua.
Jack Keating has announced his candidacy for re-election as judge of probate in Stam- ford, a post he has held since 1948, and it is hoped he can win again as handily as he did the last time, as almost the only success- ful Republican in an otherwise Democratic sweep of the city. Jack is a highly respected citizen and devoted public servant who has also given much of his time to various civic associations.
Congratulations are in order for EdSchuster upon having been named first vice- president of H. C. Bohack Company. He is a director of the company, chairman of its executive committee, and director of its la- bor relations. Unfortunately for Dartmouth, somehow his son Peter has been enticed to Brown University, following his gradua- tion from Adelphi Academy where he won letters in soccer, basketball, baseball and track!
Before Charlie cuts this off for exceeding the space allotment, it should be noted that the Executive Committee of the Class will meet in Boston October 26. Hope to see many of you then.
