1938

Time, Time, Time in a sort of rhythmic rhyme, to sort of paraphrase English One, is just a-fleetin', and we gotta put a few things down on the memory pads. The big notation is that Twenty-Fifth Reunion which is just one summer from this coming one. Now hear this: You gotta be on tap. So, that's a mid-June date in 1963 that you must make mental note of right now. Thought-number-two goes along with that occasion. We gotta deliver a peck of cash to the College. Here's where we muster our might and put up or shut up about this great Class of 1938. I've got the faith. I'm not implying in any way, like a gloom merchant, that we are going to have to shut up. Put up, I'm sure we will. This is just a reminder to be thinking about that one too. What's it worth to you have been a Dartmouth man those 29 years . . . and what's it worth to project this opportunity as a heritage for fine young men . . . our sons and grandsons down the road? The Baron Von,Art Soule, John McLane and Bob Stearns are gearing up to help us deliver. The latter is now building up a fresh corps of Class Agents for this year's Alumni Fund and that bigger one coming up in '63. If you are asked to help, the pleas are that you go out of your way to help Dartmouth stay.

"Spook" Averill writes a spooky note which can't quite be made into too much prose. It indicates he's frisky and kickin' and that one daughter is at Smith, and that he's still running Nelson House in Poughkeepsie on the Hudson.

The Doc, who seems to get "OOOHHHS and AAAHHHS" from the ladies, HankMeDuff, that is, would like to hear from his old roomies, Fletcher and Lewis. The big, tall Medico is making progress in obstetrics down Providence way, and the Macs have a couple of teen-age young ones. The thirteen-year-old little guy ran the 100 last year in 10.6 ... on grass yet. Hank sees lack Cummings '39 quite often and usually has annual meets with Reno, Whitey Mays and Soule. Sandy Mills from here asked me to say hello, one ex-tanker from another.

Ed Thomas has just been promoted to general sales manager of Garlock, Inc., Palmyra, N. Y., according to an announcement released by the mechanical packing firm. He has been with Garlock since his release from military service in 1946. In 1952 Ed was made district sales manager in Detroit. In February he took over the top position in the company's sales department consisting of 120 sales engineers with fifteen district offices in this country and Canada.

Abe Winslow '20, who is Secretary of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Northern California and Nevada, writes that Frank Newman, Doctor Frank, that is, has been officially installed as Dean of the School of Law at the University of California, following a distinguished career in administrative law and the legislative process.

A press clip goes on to say: "A member of the California Citizen's Legislative Advisory Commission, Dr. Newman has served on the Council for the Governor's Commission on Unemployment Compensation and as a consultant to the General Accounting Office in Washington, D. C." How to go, Frank. And thanks to you, Abe Winslow, out in Orindo.

"Where's Fred Pickering and what's he doing?" That's the query of the Big HerbBayer, who's been seeing a lot of Ed Shumaker and Frank Davenport in the environs of Tyrone, Pa. There's a Bayer daughter, 18, going to Loch Haven State Teachers' College, and the Big, Big Bayer is quite philosophical and contented by the way he writes. "If I had it to do again, I'd have just as much fun, but maybe work and learn a little harder." He believes that Dartmouth should go co-ed and likes growing older to enrichen memories of those Happy, Happy Days.

Ed Tracy has been mixing a little law and politics up in the Spa country of Saratoga, N. Y., County. The Republicans recently named him Assistant County Attorney. He was already attorney for the towns of Milton and Ballston and Ballston Spa. Ed took law at Albany; is married to the former Eileen McNames and the couple have a son.

There hasn't been much done in the city of Leominster, Mass., during the past ten years that has not felt the hand of and brain of Oman S. Cook. An article in "The Sentinel." Fitchburg, Mass., places Orn in the middle of community activity, and indicates he's a high-quality leader.

That carries us for now, gang. Drop us a line.

Secretary, 2945 Fairmount Cleveland 18, Ohio

Treasurer, Hunter Lane, Rye, N. Y.
