1945
Our class executive committee meetings and my deadline for this column always seem to be crossing one another. On April 20 we did have a meeting in Boston and if the plans that George Pierce were laying ever materialized, and I see no reason why they shouldn't have, it was a gala affair. The meeting took place Saturday morning and was followed by attendance at the Charles River Dartmouth Club's annual spring tea dance at the Wellesley Country Club. When I tell you that the "tea" was provided by Jack Whitman '46, you will know that no leaves were unturned to give everyone a good time. After the dance, members of the class sat down to supper at the Club. In attendance as out-of-town representatives were Barney and Molly Oldfield and Nick and Mary Sandoe. That's all my crystal ball tells me at the present time; peruse the June issue of this MAGAZINE for further developments.
An indication of the close cooperation that so characterizes Class of 1945 relationships is found in the following letter received by Barney Oldfield from George French, southern Colorado sales representative for Pitney-Bowes: "I see you are using one of our postage meters to get out these bills (class dues). May I suggest that you contact our salesman covering your account and let him show you how you can send those bills out for less postage and still correct your mailing list. This might help you keep expenses down when the new rates come out in January." As you can see, everyone is doing his part to keep class expenses to a minimum. Thank you, George.
From Bob Paulson comes news that he has left Ampex Corp. to join KRS Electronics in Palo Alto, Calif., as marketing manager. "KRS manufactures a compact, unique, patented, multiple-cartridge tape recording system which has applications anywhere tape recordings are now used. The potential of the company is most exciting. . . Bob lives in Sunnyvale with wife, Marge, and three children.

My last item of the month is found in a New York business publication entitled "Small World" and involves the not-so-small activities of the Bunny Bear company of Everett, Mass., Eliot Mover, President. I found to my surprise that this company had started out 45 years ago producing radiator covers as well as wallets and knife sheaths as the Boston Leather Specialties Co. It soon became Bunny Bear, Inc., however, and since has moved to a position of pre-eminence in the field of juvenile products. The write-up is comprehensive and complimentary as well it should be, for the Movers, father and son, have made Bunny Bear a name nationally recognized.
And while on the subject, the prime Mover of the 1945 Dartmouth Alumni Fund drive still seeks your assistance. Let's get things "a moverin'."
