1938
Although Reunion seems a thing of the dim, distant past, there still remain afterthoughts and further commendations. Else- where in this august publication will be found the Alumni Council resolution praising the Herculean efforts of Bud Walls and Art Soule.
Through the enervating effects of Cape Cod sunshine in June, I thoughtlessly omitted in my Reunion notes the generosity of Ralph van Orsdel in providing orchid corsages from Hawaii for the distaff side of the Reunion. Ralph couldn't make it himself, but certainly made the occasion more pleasant and decorative by his gesture.
"Designed for New England, a traveling architectural exhibition, opened at the Paul Creative Arts Center of the University of New Hampshire in March and moved into the Hopkins Center in June. From there it has gone to the Addison Gallery in Andover and the University of Michigan. "Designed for New England" is a series of 53 panels showing the work of the architectural firm of E.H. and M.K. Hunter. The Hunters have also been invited to send the exhibit to Zurich, Switzerland.
Royce Randlett of Winchester, Mass., has been moved up to office manager of Draper, Sears & Co., stockbrokers, in branch office in the same city, in close proximity to Massachusetts' burgeoning electronics row on Route 128. Royce had been assistant manager previously. In addition to his business activities, he has been Chairman of the Red Cross in Winchester; belongs to the Mystic Valley Dartmouth Club, of which he has been president; the Squirrel Island Club in Maine; and a trustee of the Winchester Visiting Nursing Association.
Another recent promotion came to GusSouthworth, who has been elected vice-president and controller of the Chemical Bank New York Trust. Another banker of note is Charley Keyes, who has been made an Assistant Vice President of the State National Bank of Connecticut. Charley also had the privilege this summer of attending the Graduate School of Credit and Financial Management in Hanover, one of those prosperous-looking characters wandering around Hanover with big identification buttons.
It is always interesting to read of unusual activities of our classmates and their respective progeny. Wendell Lake's boy, Peter, aged 19 has been spending the summer in an unexplored section of Peru, parachuting into the jungles in search of Inca relics. The expedition has been sponsored by the National Geographic and the New York Zoological societies. Peter has been jumping ever since he was 16. Like his father before him, he is now a student at Dartmouth, having graduated from Marblehead High.
One who was not with us very long, if recollection serves correctly, was Milo Peck, Mayor of Windsor, Conn. Milo is now seeking his fifth term on the Town Council. In 1962 he was named the outstanding Republican of Windsor. After leaving Dartmouth, Milo graduated from Wesleyan; he has three children; and has been active in myriads of public service organizations.
In the appropriate place in the MAGAZINE will be found the obituary of Hank Barnet, whose sudden passing came as a shock to all of us. Gil Tanis was among those representing the class at the funeral and very graciously agreed to write the account.
By the time this appears in print, the football season will have been off to its customary fall start, and each encounter will alford a chance for members of the class to get together "outside Portal 1" or whatever rendezvous is appropriate. There have been increasing suggestions over the past years that 1938 schedule an off-season reunion, as so many other classes do, here in Hanover on the occasion of one of the good games. It is now too late for any organization to be set up, but your secretary will get busy so that another season can find Hanover inundated by a flock of 1938'ers, wives, and offspring. Anyone having any bright ideas, please communicate with me, as I shall need the benefit of any and all help.
Speaking of football game reunions, it would be a tremendous help to the undersigned if anyone picking up any significant news on those occasions would send them along to me, even though there may be a month or so delay in getting the news into print. Any libelous items will be sold to the Saturday Evening Post and the proceeds turned over to the Class Treasury.
That just about empties the shoe box. If any of you chance into Hanover, ask the Tanzi Bros, where I can be reached. I should be delighted to dine at the Inn with any 1938'ers, at their expense.
