1933

First in our list of promotions this month is Bill Bates, financial vice president of the Aetna Insurance Co. of Hartford, who was made treasurer and a member of the board of directors in March by vote of the stockholders. Bill was with the Hartford National Bank and Trust Co. from graduation from Tuck School until 1947 when he joined Aetna. He is also a director of the Hartford Symphony Association, the Family Service Society and the Civitan Club. Bill and Eleanor have two children: Susan and W. Calvin '63.

Dick Jackson also rates our congratulations on his appointment as vice president and general counsel of the Fram Corp., which he joined in 1959 after four years' service as assistant secretary of the Navy. Preceding that, he had been general counsel of the Boston and Maine Railroad for eleven years. Like Bill Bates, he served with the Navy during WW II. Dick and Helen have two daughters: Deborah, Hollins '64 and Faith, a senior in a Providence secondary school.

Burt Hack is leaving the pleasant surroundings of Norwich, Vt., to become manager of F. W. Kendrick Co., Inc., oil distributors and heating specialists, in Plymouth, N. H. For the past fifteen years he has been country manager and director of the Bradford Corp., a subsidiary of the Whiting Milk Co. of Boston. Burt and Marion will still be just over the mountain from Hanover and their many friends there. They, too, are the proud parents of a Dartmouth son, Bruce '57.

Page Worthington has added another civic service to his already long list of community activities by accepting the presidency of the Health and Welfare Council of the Baltimore Area. Page was president of the Baltimore Kiwanis in 1961 and has been a director and on committees of the following Baltimore community organizations: Red Cross; Association of Commerce; Convention Bureau; Goodwill Industries; Better Business Bureau; Community Chest; Salvation Army and Y.M.C.A. You are already familiar with his many activities for the Class and the College and his recent reelection to the Alumni Council. Margaret and their three sons: Charles, Richard and J. Tyler can well be proud of his record of real service.

In connection with a plug for the Alumni Fund (this is one, too, if you haven't gotten around to it yet), we had a nice note from Frank Gump who runs his own firm of management consultants in Islington, Ontario. He and Betty have four children one girl and three boys, including Peter '60.

Worthy of repetition here is the recent announcement of Johnny Donovan's son, John Jr., being awarded the first Bill Cunningham Memorial Scholarship at a presentation dinner in Concord, Mass., in April. John Jr. will enter Dartmouth in the fall. His dad came in for his share of publicity, too, as principal of the Concord High School where he has been instrumental in adding closed circuit TV and language laboratories to the school's teaching facilities. If you missed it in the latest Newsletter, Art Aaron deserves commendation for presenting to the College a duplicate of the plaque memorializing John Ledyard, Class of 1776. It was found in a barn near Greenfield, Mass., and will replace the one presently at the site of the Ledyard Canoe Club in Hanover. Art's gift is a timely one since the one at Hanover is badly worn and nearly illegible.

Bill King's son, Billy, quarterback and captain elect of the football team, is keeping in shape and at the same time adding considerably to the strength of the team by playing lacrosse this spring.

Derothy and Jack Manchester of Hanover have announced the engagement of their daughter, Martha, to Jackson White Wright Jr., Jack and Madge's son; Martha graduated from Smith in 1960 and has been working at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Chip, having graduated from Williams and Harvard Law School, is connected with the law firm of Hausserman, Davison and Shattuck in Boston. They will be married in August. We believe this is the first '33 marriage in the history of the class.

If you didn't catch it elsewhere, President Dickey's declaration before the Executive Club in Chicago merits your attention, "the greatest single thing a man can learn is the capacity for being undismayed and to deal with the imperfection and impossibilities of today's complex living."

Ye secretary regrets that he has just returned empty-handed from Atlanta where we had hoped to have news for you on Bill Atwood who recently transferred there as manager of Olin's Rent-a-Car System. He was out of town during our two-week tour attending a National Security Seminar given by the Industrial College of the Armed Forces of the Department of Defense. This course, giving our current comparative position militarily, industrially, economically, politically, and otherwise is given in about fourteen cities annually and is well worthy of your consideration. It is generally sponsored by a local civic organization, such as a Chamber of Commerce, and is open to the public. The instruction is top-level and the course content most comprehensive. If you want to return to college for two weeks and find out where we stand in "this madding world," we can recommend it most highly. Your local papers will carry advance publicity if it is coming to your area. We have next year's schedule of cities and dates if any of you are interested.

Only two address changes this month: Archibald G. Delmarsh, Associate in English, University of California, Grand Ave., Ojai, Calif., and G. Jacques Mohr, Box 361, Lewiston, Pa.

Secretary, 80 Mooreland Rd. Melrose 76, Mass.
