1933

This is written during the January thaw and youll be reading it during mid-March when we hope the real spring will be really awakening. As you read this, you'll have to start thinking seriously about our Thirtieth on June 17 to 19. We'll be in the midst of the Alumni Fund, too. Sid Stoneman and his team will appreciate your immediate action on that important phase of our membership in the Dartmouth family. As of this writing, some of the boys have sensed the need of early action this Reunion Year and have gotten us off to a running start with over $3,300 already in the kitty. That's over ten percent of Sid's goal of $30,000 for our 30th. Now it's up to each of YOU to keep the ball rolling so that we can attain our Alumni Fund goal for the first time in the history of the Class.

The announcement of the election of Herb Shea as a director of the Marlin-Rock-well Corp. of Jamestown, N.Y., gives us an opportunity to mention one of the fellows from whom we haven't heard in a long time. He's a vice-president of the Bankers Trust Co. of New York and is responsible for all its business conducted in New York state, New England, and Canada. This is quite a jump from being a messenger boy, the capacity in which he started with the bank upon graduation in 1933. He and Edith (Cook) have one son, Thomas H.. St. Lawrence '61, and live in Little Silver, N.J.

Dick Jackson is engaged in a bit of a hassle of particular interest to you boys in the legal fraternity. Despite the fact that he is licensed to practice law in Massachusetts and New York and is authorized to practice before the U.S. District Court in Rhode Island, the R. I. State Board of Bar Examiners ruled that he does not qualify to become an attorney in Rhode Island without taking the bar exams. Dick, now a resident of Rhode Island and vice president and general counsel of the Fram Corporation of East Providence, had asked to be admitted to practice in Rhode Island under a state Supreme Court rule on the ground that he had been engaged in "the required active general practice of law" for ten of the preceding fifteen years. The examiners ruled that Dick's eleven years as general counsel for the Boston and Maine Railroad, prior to his service as assistant secretary of the Navy for four years, did not constitute such practice. Dick, as you might suspect, is not taking this lying down and has asked the Rhode Island State Supreme Court to reverse the ruling of the examiners.

Thanks to Mott Brown '17 we have word of Dick Goldthwait's being chosen by the Columbus (Ohio) Citizen-Journal as one of its "Top Ten Men of the Year." As director of the Institute of Polar Studies at Ohio State University, Dick is a key man internationally in the accelerated geological studies of these frigid areas which he visits regularly. A member of seven national scientific organizations, he serves on national committees for the Geological Society of America and the International Geophysical Year. In 1958, he was elected president of the Ohio Academy of Science. Dick still finds time, as professor of geology at Ohio State University, to teach classes in glacial geology, his specialty. In addition, he is a national lecturer for Sigma Xi and spoke recently at Montana State College on "Glacier Fluctuations Since the Ice Age in Southeast Alaska." Besides his trips to both poles, Dick has been on two glacial studies to Alaska as well as expeditions to Baffin Land, Greenland, and New Zealand.

A Christmas card from George and bcottySmith pictures an enticing highlands farmhideaway in Sharon, Vt., only 18 miles away from Hanover "on a back road off a back road." Their two boys, Stephen, 4th grade, and Donald, 3rd grade, keep them on the hop. George is rounding out 30 years at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and is still active in the Army Reserves. Jeffand Bea Davis sent a clever "profit and loss Christmas card, which shows Jeff to be in excellent health after an operation in early 1962. Bea is now a kitchen consultant with the Davis Lumber Co. Their oldest daughter, Nancy Morgret, presented them with a second granddaughter, a red-head, Mary Ella. Could this be a first for the Class? Barbara is practice teaching and engaged to be married to David L. Delano this coming June. Shirley, too, is practice teaching and also a swimming instructor at the local "Y." Chip, their youngest, and the only boy, is now in senior high. They hope to sandwich in Reunion between two graduations and a wedding.

Cliff Johnson has just been elected a director of the Associated Industries of Massachusetts, the major organization in the state for the promotion of business and business interests in Mass. He is president of the H. A. Johnson Co., suppliers of foods and food specialties to hotels and institutions throughout New England and New York. After receiving his M.B.A. from Harvard Business School in 1935, he became associated with the Nashua Gummed and Coated Paper Co., which he left a year later to join his present firm which was founded by his grandfather in the last century. His father, a strict disciplinarian and always fearful of the danger of nepotism, made sure that Cliff worked his way to the top through the various departments. In 1951, he became president when his father stepped up to chairman of the board. Cliff has instituted many modernizations and has developed a smooth running organization. He and "Beth" (Hunton) were married in 1937 and have two children; Helen, 16, and David, 13. They live in Wellesley Hills, which they have made their home town most of their married life, except for a few years in New York when Cliff was with their subsidiary, the Murray Company.

Don D'Arcy, president of the Seacoast Region Dartmouth Club, led a very successful Christmas meeting at which State Senator Bob Monahan '29, the college forester and manager of the Dartmouth Outing Club properties, spoke on "Off-Campus Dartmouth."

Billy King '63 shared honors as most valuable playe? with Don McKinnon at the January 18 football banquet given for the two undefeated teams—l925 and 1962. Bill Madden '64 is taking on the Herculean task of following football by playing varsity basketball and is doing quite well.
