1944

It sounds as though Wemo Epply's Fall House Party over the Holy Cross weekend is going to be a dandy. There's going to be quite a '44 contingent on hand. The golf tournament should be a spectacular. Speaking of golf, I watched Sperk Welch and West Shell lash out at the ball the other day and with surprising talent.

Bud Coith will be exposed to some household and child care problems the next three weeks while wife Nancy makes a continental tour of the art centers for the Junior League and the Cincinnati Art Museum. There was a picture of Bud in the newspaper this morning forlornly pointing to a remote spot on the globe.

I was interested to note that 26 members of our class are active in and have contributed to the Dartmouth Educational Association. This group provides the funds on a loan basis to needy students and has financed numerous men who without their help could not have gone through Dartmouth.

Martin Shea is a newly-elected vice president of Morgan Guaranty Trust Co. of New York. Marty is in the personal trust administration department of the bank's trusts and investments division. After leaving Hanover he earned a bachelor of laws degree from Columbia in 1946 and joined Morgan Guaranty the same year. In 1950 he was awarded a master of laws degree from NYU School of Law, and in 1954 he became an assistant trust officer. Four years later he was made a trust officer of the bank. He's a member of the New York State Bar Association, a trustee of The Altman Foundation and of St. Joseph's Day Nursery, and a director of the CYO of the Archdiocese of New York.

New Hampshire native, Bob Smith, is back home after being named Supervisor of the Keene District office of the State Department of Health and Welfare. He had been doing similar work in New Jersey. Cliff Baum is now making his home in New Canaan. Air Force Col. Gene Callaghan is operating out of Dayton these days, and Commander Bill Trier is comfortably situated at the U.S. Naval Hospital in Bethesda.

Don Lindell, with over 16 years foreign duty in the insurance business, joined the Continental Insurance Companies in New York last year. Comfortably settled in Stamford, Don received a recent promotion, as superintendent of the foreign department. Oh well, dust off the old Oshkosh and passport.

Jack Grimm, as v.p. of Colgate Palmolive, has been promoted from marketing director of the Household Products Division, to general manager of the Toilet Articles Division. I was unacquainted with the Gustin-Bacon Mfg. Co. in Kansas City until one of our men reported that he had lost an order for some lab equipment out there. Then the next day I got some address changes from Dartmouth, one of which was that of AlexMcPherson, general manager of research for Gustin-Bacon. Oh well.

At a directors' meeting last July the board of Robert O. Fleming and Co., Seattle Managing General Agency and brokerage firm, elected F. B. Beattie as president. That's about our tenth president this year. But Clark MacGregor is the chap I'm waiting for.

Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co. has named Don Warner as Toledo general agent. Always active in community affairs, Don has been president of the Toledo Underwriters Association, the Toledo chapter of Chartered Life Underwriters, and is a past director of the Toledo Estate Planning Council. After Don left Dartmouth he went to work in Washintgon for the then-Senator John Bricker.

Dr. Jerry Yudkin, who has been director of the Clifford W. Beers Guidance Clinic, Inc. for six years, has resigned to go into private psychiatric practice. In his new work he will treat adults as well as youngsters but will still be particularly concerned with problems of adolescents and children. Save up your problems till next June when you can get Jerry to straighten you out at reunion.

You'll be pleased to know that Bill McElnea's continuing hard work for the Class and College has been recognized by his election to a three-year term on the Dartmouth Alumni Council. Here's a guy who doesn't get into mischief for only one reason - no time.

Dick Smith has joined the William S. Merrill Co. of Cincinnati as assistant to the Market Research Manager. Formerly Dick was senior marketing analyst for Mead Johnson in Evansville. While you can understand the ALUMNI MAGAZINE'S policy of not permitting alumni family pictures unless Daddy is in the act, there are times you'd like to change it, specially with a picture like that which Bob Rader sent of his two beautiful daughters and handsome son. Incidentally, Bob did a great job for the Alumni Fund in Pennsylvania this year.

Lt. Col. Dick Paul is getting the idea, now makes Gettysburg home base. I can't recall whether I reported that Bill Paine is president of Henry W. Savage, Inc. in Brookline, Mass. And that Hal Cannon is assistant vice president of Commonwealth Life Insurance Company in Louisville.

You'll soon start getting the propaganda on the Roaring Twenties from Messrs. Berry-Craig-Welch, but this is just a reminder not to do any vacation planning aside from June and apart from New Hampshire.
