1938

Seasonally, Class activities quite naturally run in various patterns - fall is the time for football game reunions; winter for dinners in various metropolitan areas; and spring for picnics, clambakes, and other outdoor orgies.

The groundwork is now being laid for planning an annual fall weekend in Hanover for 1938. Details of projected arrangements and a request for information and guidance will reach you in the not-too-distant future via the Pacesetter. Since Hanover is becoming more and more crowded every year on fall weekends, definite commitments will have to be made during the winter, or we shall have to pitch a giant tent in the middle of the campus.

Not being able to get to either Harvard or Yale this fall, I was fortunate enough (through the Yellow Pages - advt.) to engage the services of a private agency to spot various members of the class outside those ivy-clad enclosures, engaging in the time-approved rituals of picnic and half-time rites. This guy Seidenstuecker really gets around; I don't know what they do in Conway, N. H., during the fall, but he made it to both games. Also at Harvard were Irv Stronach, Parker Brownell, Dick Francis, Harry Ham, Bob Foley, Bob Reeve, Frank Brett, Charley Hitchcock, and Win Mayo. In case my operatives missed anyone or improperly identified someone who had told his wife he would not be going to the game, please notify this office immediately.

At the Yale Bowl, in addition to the aforesaid Seidenstuecker, were: Henry Beck, John McLane, Barron von Pechman, Don Boyle, Brad Jenkins, Bob Reno, Bob Deery, Bob Halleck, Hank McDuff, Blaine Mallory, Whitey Mays, Ray Troutner, Ted Thome, Dwight Parkinson, Fran Schildgren (I guess about now we ought to drop the "Pop" from that one), Alec Jones, Roy Duckworth, Gus Southworth, Young P. Dawkins, Luke Nims, and Bud Lynch.

During the early fall home season here in Hanover, there appeared to be a scarcity of 1938'5, in spite of my cordial invitation to any or all to take me to dinner at the Inn. Brown weekend Chandler was reported somewhere about, but we never did make contact. Holy Cross game I saw Phil Leach very briefly at the half. And that was all. Perhaps better luck Cornell game!

Perhaps another characteristic of the fall season is the rash of civic activities that various people get trapped into. Julie Westheimer, for example, is reported to have been U.N. Week Chairman in Baltimore. Among his other activities are: vice president of the Commerce and Industry Combined Health Appeal, president of the Suburban Club of Baltimore County, and a member of the board of trustees of the Park School, Temple Oheb Shalom, and the American Cancer Society. During 1960 he was chairman of the Cancer Society's Maryland State Crusade. In his spare time he is an investment banker.

This is also United Fund time, and in Leominster, Mass., Win Mayo, taking time off from attending football games, was named chairman of the clubs and national firms division of the campaign. He has been associated with the Fund for the past twenty years. Aside from being president of the Mayo Agency, Inc., he has also been a trustee of the Leominster Visiting Nurses Assn., past director of the Recreation Center, member of Rotary, Boy Scouts, Red Cross, and Chamber of Commerce.

In Needham, Mass., Charley Wycoff has been on the Survival in Disaster Committee; he should have been active at the Harvard and Yale Games! Charley is also a member of the School Committee.

The Rev. Roy B. Chamberlin Jr., has now assumed the pastorate of the First Parish Congregational Church in Gorham, Me. After leaving Dartmouth, he attended Yale Divinity School, Union Theological Seminary, Chicago Divinity School, Navy Chaplains' School, and Western Pastors School.

Out in Elkhart, Ind., Ross Borneman, vice president of Elkhart Products Corporation, is a new director of the First National Bank in that town. Just to keep in step with the rest of the class he has also been active in United Fund campaigns, March of Dimes, Sales Executive Club, Chamber of Commerce, Elcona Country Club, City Club, and Rotary Club, and has been a vestryman at St. Johns Episcopal Church.

Speaking of religious activities, Hanover's own Gil Tanis combines two such worthwhile interests as a vestryman of the Church here and as Faculty Adviser to Sigma Nu.

Somewhere in the dim past, I had heard that Bob Lang was with Voice of America. Just what has happened to him since leaving college and where the Voice of America bit fits into the picture is a complete mystery to me. In the 25th Yearbook, he is listed as being in the new York York office of the American Broadcasting Co. Now he shows up in Portugal. What gives with him and Salazar?

Not at all mysterious but equally meritorious is the promotion of Raldeau Jenny from Controller to Secretary-Treasurer of the Ludlow Mfg. Co., in Troy, N. Y.

And now Welcome Wagon notes from all over (at least two places, that is). The good people of Romulus, N. Y., have rolled out the velvet carpet for the new head Librarian of Hobart College, Bill Lansberg, formerly of Hanover.

From Shorewood (Wis., in case you are unfamiliar with the Milwaukee suburbs) comes news that the Pat Gonnans have moved into their new residence there. It must be quite a houseful, because Pat has four children and she has two. Pat is still advertising director for the Jos. Schlitz Brewing Co.

In the college's Handbook for Class Officers it recommends that Class Secretaries send all members birthday and Christmas cards. If you are planning on having a birthday during the period 1963-64, consider this my best wishes for many more. And at any rate, a happy holiday season this month.

And just to make everyone even happier, don't forget that pledge you made that comes due in January of 1964.
