1938

In thumbing through Gus Hennessey's 25-year 1938 Class book, one wishes that some of our far-flung members would keep us better posted on their activities. Joe Jova in Santiago, Chile; Fred Mayne in London; and Ev. Wood in Afghanistan are accounted for. But Jack Donovan, now in Oslo, Norway; Yokichi Fujiyama in Tokyo; and Franz Krell in Madrid have been practically lost to the class these many moons. Any accounting of them would be excellent grist for the Pace Setter Mill.

As with any other organization, a class depends on the work and efforts of very many of her constituents; so too does a college, and I am sure that a statistical total of the number of alumni who are active in various areas of college affairs would be fantastic. One tends to think of 1938'ers primarily in the context of their service to the class, but, locally, one recognizes their leadership in general alumni matters.

Ed Perrin is a member of the Alumni Council from the Hartford area and is a member of its committee on Enrollment and Admissions for the Connecticut area. The secretary of the Tuck School Association is, of course, our Karl Hill.

Among the Club Officers serving throughout the country we have: Ralph Sethness, President of the Fort Lauderdale Club; JimBonnyman, Secretary in Sarasota; Lou Fortuna, Acting Secretary in Atlanta; RalphVan Orsdel, President in Honolulu and also a member of the National Enrollment Committee for the Hawaii area; RoyceRandlett, President of the Mystic Valley (Mass.) Dartmouth Club; in Hanover, EarlWard, Secretary of the Dartmouth Club of the Hanover Area; Paul Urion as President of the Dartmouth Club of the Seacoast Region (N. H.); and Dick Gilbert, President of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Dayton.

Other members of the Enrollment Committee include: Bob Hallock in the Worcester area; Joe Fogarty, Mid-Hudson, New York; the same Lou Fortuna for Georgia; Bill McMurtrie in Indianapolis; and JimCooney in Des Moines. I am sure Bob Blackman appreciates their efforts, as does also whoever is presently coaching the chess team.

Some of the final settlements of the Bernard Goldfine scandal are being made locally by Bob Reno, who was up from Concord the other day, and former County Solicitor, Bob Jones of Lebanon. There is not much more left of the Goldfine empire than there is of the Andy Ferguson empire here in Hanover.

On the national level, President Kennedy recently organized an advisory council of nineteen prominent industrial executives to try to open up job opportunities free of discrimination and to seek full use of qualified Negroes and other members of minority groups. Among those included on the council was Ray Berquist, director, compensation administration and employee services for Colgate-Palmolive Co.

Gerry Ullman broke into the news late in August when he filed a request with the Federal Maritime Commission asking it to require the government to obey its own shipping laws. Gerry is counsel for the NewYork Foreign Freight Forwarders and Brokers Association. The details of the complaint are not appropriate to a House Organ of the nature of the ALUMNI MAG., but I am sure legal eagles in the class will follow the facts and reasoning much better than I.

Joining the ranks of Florida residents, and this' class is much too young to be heavily represented in that Senior Citizens paradise, is Bill Baxter, who has been promoted to Assistant Manager, Office Administration Department of the Travelers Insurance Co. in Clearwater. The change from Atlanta, Ga., should not be too much of a shock, climate-wise. Gulf Oil Corporation has moved Bill Main from Manchester, N. H., to Hingham, Mass., but there is no word as to whether this is merely to be nearer the ocean or something to do with the business. Bob McConeghy evidently got tired of the New England climate and has moved to Tucson, Ariz., from Chelmsford, Mass.

I didn't think I would be writing many more of these notices, but Charley Cherry stepped off the deep end with Mary Honore Wilkinson in Walden, N. Y. Charley is employed at the MacBeth Corporation in New Windsor. All of this from one of my favorite newspapers, the Walden Citizen Herald. There can't be many more bachelors left, and those that are, probably are confirmed ones at that.

Even since Reunion time, the face of Hanover has changed. There is a brandnew stretch of smooth road where the old Lyme Pot-hole course used to run out by the golf course; new buildings are reaching higher; and old ones have taken to moving hither and yon. It's hard to keep track of the place any more; come on up and have a look for yourself.
