1933
It's a bit scary to learn of one of our members retiring, but the curse is removed when you find out a month later that he's both retired and actively employed. In the first fall Newsletter, Bob Fox advised you that he had become an annuitant due to the severe curtailment in the operations of the Everett Refinery of Humble Oil where he had been employed since graduation in sales, as training director and, in the last decade, as director of public relations and head of the communications division. In early September, Bob accepted the post of public relations director at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Present indications are that he and Babe will move to Worcester where they are anticipating the challenge of a new career on which we wish them every success.
Jus Stanley was kind enough to respond to our request for a report on the trip which he and Leigh took to Europe last spring, partly in company with the Dickeys and Kay and Bill Andres '29. Jus caught up with the party momentarily in London, left for business in Brussels and Paris, and rejoined them in Athens where Bill also joined them. After a week in Athens with side trips to Corinth and Delphi, they chartered a sailing yacht (with motor) and visited many of the innumerable islands in that area. "This was more than a trip, it was an experience," says Jus in describing "the breath-taking view of the Parthenon, night-time in Delphi, Mycenae, and the delight of diving into the cool, clear depths of the Aegean." The trip was not without its Dartmouth reunions including a momentary, seemingly everyday meeting with John and Carol Schneider in front of the King George in Athens until they realized, with sudden excitement, that this was not the States or Hanover.
Sam Black, secretary and general counsel for The Stanley Works in New Britain, Conn., was elected president of the American Society of Corporate Secretaries, Inc., at that organization's annual meeting in June. Sam has been a member of the society since 1950, serving previously as a vice president, a director, and as a member of the executive and securities committees. He became secretary of The Stanley Works in 1944.
An article announcing the selection of Bob Doscher, State Supreme Court Justice, as featured speaker at July 4 activities sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce of New City, N. Y., gives us an opportunity to share with you a profile on Bob. After Dartmouth, he graduated from St. John's Law School and then began practice in Suffern, N. Y. At 27, he was elected to the New York State Assembly in which served only one term because of his entrance into the Air Corps as a private in 1942. He became an officer and had considerable combat service as an intelligence officer with the Seventh Bomber Command in the Pacific. Upon his return in April of 1946, he formed the law partnership of Doscher and Freund. In the fall of that year, he re-entered politics and was elected to a four-year term as county judge before successfully campaigning for his present judgeship which has two more years to run. Bob's civic and fraternal activities are many. One of his current services is teaching Sunday School at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in New City. Alta, who runs a real estate agency from their home, and Bob have five children and two grandchildren. Crile, their eldest son, is a resident surgeon at Cleveland Clinic. Brewster graduated from Syracuse in 1961. Bob Jr. is in high school, Pamela in junior high and Jill attends elementary school.
You can't vote for Bob yet, but those of you in Norfolk County, Mass., can do right by Dan Rollins by casting your ballot for him in his bid for County Commissioner. Dan is well qualified for the post and should be a shoo-in. A graduate of Harvard Law School; a practicing attorney; a captain in the Marines in the Pacific; Brookline selectman from 1940 to 1946; town counsel from 1946 until announcing his candidacy and with innumerable civic and legal activities to his credit merits your support. . . as undoubtedly do any other '33ers running for elective office this month, including Johnny Monagan whom we assume is running for re-election to Congress from Connecticut.
A recent business trip found us in Norwich, Vt., and provided a pleasant evening with Junie and Dorrie Drowne. It was full moon and the beautiful view from their hillside home down the valley is indescribable. The big news there was the announcement of the engagement of Miss Elizabeth Cocks Thayer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Thayer of Dorchester, N. H., and Captiva, Fla., to the Drownes' son, Peter '62, who is doing graduate work in the department of theatre arts at U.C.L.A. Miss Thayer, a graduate of the George School and Bradford Junior College is a senior at the University of Vermont.
George and Polly Farrand's daughter, Carolyn Virginia, was recently married to Peter Edward Hager, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert B. Hager Jr. of Upper Montclair, N. J. We don't have all the details but are quite sure that the bride is a graduate of Colby Junior College and the groom completed his second year at Tuck School last June. Coincidentally, your scribe worked with Peter's father on Wall Street and subsequently served with him in the Army for over a year.
An announcement, just in from Sid andMuriel Stoneman, tells of the marriage of their daughter, Elizabeth Laura, to William Brockway Deknatel on September 16 at Chestnut Hill, Mass.
Don D'Arcy, who has served on the Alumni Council since 1959 and been a member of the Board of Overseers of Hanover Inn, has been re-elected chairman of the Council's Committee on Class Gifts to the College. Bill Wynn, long-time Defense Department career man, has been advanced to the position of technical associate at the newly activated Defense Electronics Supply Center in Dayton, Ohio. Don Phinney has been elected assistant vice president of Merritt-Chapman and Scott Corp. in the Construction and Marine Department. He has been in heavy construction and engineering and was with Morrison-Knudson for twelve years prior to joining his present firm. For three years, Don served as chief engineer on the Boqueron Tunnels in Caracas, Venezuela, and has been engaged in construction projects in other South American countries as well as throughout the States. Max Field, executive vice president of the New England Shoe and Leather Association, was pictured in the local and trade press, officiating with Governor John Volpe of Massachusetts at the dedication of a plaque in Lynn commemorating the beginning of the mechanization of the shoe industry 100 years ago.
We have an address change for Professor George F. Theriault which must mean that he and Ray are on his sabbatical leave. The address is c/o American College in Paris, 65 Quai D'Orsay, Paris 7, France. We had been under the mistaken impression that they were leaving later this year. This will give them a wonderful opportunity to see their daughter who is married and living in France.
1933, brains and quarterbacking are synonymous - a fact that will have been proven by the time you read this. Two '33 sons will be guiding the football team this fall: Bill King, captain and Number 14 will be in the starting lineup and will be relieved on defense by Bill Madden, Number 18, as quarterback on the Savages under Coach Bob Blackman's new system of backing up the first team with defensive (Savages) and offensive (Tomahawks) platoons.
Don't forget the Princeton pre-game reunion with '32 and '34 at the Armory. This get-together and the one at Harvard are designed as primers for our joint reunion next June, attendance at which should be first on your list of New Year's resolutions.
