1940
The summer mailbag has accumulated a goodly number of job changes and address changes. In some cases the latter is obviously prompted by the former, but for those moves for which I didn't get a covering news clip I'm sure an interesting story exists. It would be good to have my curiosity satisfied and I'm sure everyone in the Class would like to know the reasons behind all of the moves and what it has meant to you. So to those of you who are listed at the end of the column, with no explanation between here and there - "Take heed and fill us in!"
From Cincinnati, Ohio, comes the pleasant news that Herb Landsman has been elected vice president for research of Federated Department Stores, Inc. Herb joined the Federated chain in 1950 after working for R. H. White's and Filene's, both of Boston. Filene's is a division of Federated, the nation's largest department store operation. Herb is a director of the Retail Research Association and a member of the American Marketing Association, the American Management Association, and the National Industrial Conference Board. He earned his M.A. at Harvard and served as a Navy officer in World War II.
Dave Dance was upped from a big job to an even bigger one on the General Electric ladder. He is now general manager of the Hotpoint Division for which duties he has been training as manager of the household refrigerator department. When you remodel your kitchen or laundry you can help Dave's sales graph.
After a long affiliation with Sylvania Electric Products' lighting division, ChalCarothers has been appointed manager of marketing for the Radiant Lamp Corporation of Newark. Chal, who has been the coordinator of our class movies, and cameraman for most of the footage, had to miss reunion a year ago June so don't forget to contact him about your movies of 1940 activities before our 25th.
A welcome, newsy letter from ChapWentworth qualifies him as the correspondent of the month: "September 10 I was hired as business manager of this daily newspaper. The day I arrived I found the owner had made me manager and copublisher.
"The end of the same week he arrived from San Francisco and announced that I was publisher and he'd kicked himself up stairs to president of the Tahoe Tribune publishing Company.
"Polly and I have moved the seven kids up to a snug little house on the well-known Keys Boulevard in Tahoe Valley. We are in the South Tahoe area, near all the gambling spots. Best of all we are right at the foot of the Fabulous Heavenly Valley Ski Development, where the National Collegiate 4-way was held last year and expected again this year.
'""A new 25-passenger-car tramway is to be completed at Heavenly Valley December 1. Boy, it sure takes me back to the old days on Cannon Mountain!" Sounds like Chap has it made, with a new ski development practically in his backyard. Leave it to the Californians to do things in a spectacular way!
Donald Hause is now a member of the corporation which owns Ye Cocke and Kettle Motor Inn, a Seabrook, N. H., landmark. Don was formerly engaged in the commercial and industrial real estate business and has spent the past ten years traveling throughout the country buying, selling, and syndicating real estate for various real estate concerns in Boston and New York. Sounds as though he has a good background for judging the best part of the United States into which to settle!
A guy who must be as busy as the proverbial one-armed paper hanger is BufordHayden, a partner in the firm of Mott and Hayden Associates, Land Planning Consultants, in Washington, D. C., with little old Hanover having to resort to traffic lights and one-way streets to ease the crush of present-day traffic on streets built for another era, I can imagine the big problems Bu has to face in a city like Washington. He has been an expert land planner and city planner for fourteen years and has authored several published articles on Land Use and Traffic Problems. When your town has growing pains get in touch with Bu Hayden fast!
Iver Olson is another man concerned with community problems when he's not being assistant to the executive vice-president of the National Shoe Manufacturing Association. Iver is on the Mayor's Committee on Civic Improvement for Larchmont, N. Y.
Busy this month as head of the residential division of the Bronxville Community Fund is Johnny Crandell. He has to oversee the recruitment of more than 1200 volunteers to do the job and then crack the whip to keep them at it. John is New York advertising sales manager of Time Magazine and as a lifelong resident of Bronxville has an abiding interest in this drive. Johnny was one of the foursome which Jack Little got together for a weekend tournament at the National Golf Club in Southampton last summer. Diz and John Burnap were the others who made up the group of serious golfers playing on this hallowed course. After all the chips and putts were counted Diz walked off with all the bets by playing fantastically well — so well the rest couldn't believe the handicap he reported on which the bets were counted!
Hope to see some of you around the football stadiums this fall but hope they are drier than the one in Hanover for the "ran game. Everyone was so covered by ponchos and plastic garment bags that you couldn't identify a soul - everyone looked like a Monk.
