Challenging new highs in positions of leadership mark the progress of our classmates.
Lou Benezet, our career college president, continues to take on challenging opportunities in his chosen field. Leaving Colorado College after an eight-year presidency, he will assume comparable and expanded responsibilities at Claremont Graduate School and the University Center at Claremont, Calif. Prior to taking the senior position at Colorado he was president of Allegheny College for seven years.
As the Granite State moves forward toward the introduction of sweepstakes (proceeds of an estimated $4 million designated for New Hampshire schools) carefully guiding the Governor's hand from a legal standpoint is Joe Millimet, his legislative counsel, who was reported convinced, after discussing the matter with the United States Department of Justice, the sweepstakes program would not violate Federal law.
Although huzzahs are in order, we greet the news of George Beyer's recent appointment at Lever Brothers Co. with a wide cheery (Pepsodent) smile, for George is the newly-named products manager for the Pepsodent division of Lever Brothers. Formerly an account supervisor and member of the plans board of Lennen & Newell advertising agency, George was earlier associated with Lever Brothers as a product manager in the Lever division from 1954 to 1959. Before that he was advertising manager for Cannon Mills, Inc. George lives in Forest
On Manhattan John V. B. Sullivan continues to press forward as general manager of radio station WNEW. Last year he received, it is reported in the metropolitan press, an air-conditioned Cadillac convertible from the Board Chairman as a token of
How refreshing to read John's opinion on the radio voice! "Twenty-five years ago the classic standard for announcers was the pear-shaped tone. That's not true at all now. We want our announcers and commentators identified as real people, not just voices on radio."
George McCleary has been appointed director of marketing for film operations in the packaging division of Olin Mathieson Chemical Corporation and will continue as director of printing and specialty paper sales for the divisions Ecusta Paper operations. New chairman of the Weston (Mass.) School Committee is Boston-attorney Leo F. Glynn.
Doris and Brint Schorer are opening their house at Center Harbor on Lake Winnipesaukee for a class gathering Saturday, August 10. Dick Morton is co-sponsor for the all-day affair. Everyone is invited. Come and bring your wife, but let's leave the children with someone else for this one day.
Plenty to eat and drink and plenty to do: swimming, boating, water-skiing, dancing; and, for the more contemplative, a chance to renew acquaintances and look at one of the world's loveliest lakes. For what sounds like a wonderful day there will be a modest charge: five dollars per person (ten dollars per couple, obviously).
To get there take Route 25 from Center Harbor, N. H., one mile to Redding Lane on right signs two miles.
Write Doris and Brint a week in advance; they can put up as many as ten on Friday or Saturday night. Their address: Mr. and Mrs. Brinton T. Schorer, 26 Richmond Lane, West Hartford, Conn.
Looking through the forms sent out some months ago we came across some of the comments which were made in returning them to your secretary. Monroe Greenbaum, president of Lion Match Co., wrote at that time he was enjoying trips to Hanover to visit his son, Alan, then a senior, and to see Dartmouth both as an alumnus and as the father of an undergraduate.
From Brint Shorer came the word that he was interested in "all sports, especially Dartmouth." A bow from the class is due to Jimmy Tindle who has made himself the genuinely most valuable Dartmouth man in the Philadelphia area. He has been and is indefatigable and unfailingly successful in all things to advance the welfare of the College, especially in working with secondary school students interested in or who could be interested in Dartmouth. Among the things which have filled the time of Don Sutherland in recent years have been "golf, church activities especially the choir, Rotary and civic activities including serving on the Governor's advisory committee on Technical Education." Vigorously active in the ski business is Larry Jump who writes his work involves "lots of travel but very few moments for fun on the trips. New ski lifts are mushrooming up all over the country and we get our share usually about 30% each year." From JoeWool a genuinely honest comment as to his interests: "Kiwanis, golf, boating, vacationing in general." This "doctor's prescription" we would all enjoy taking.
Spike Darnels writes he is manager of trade relations for American Cyanamid Co. and an elder in the Presbyterian Church. We understand the latter office but would appreciate his letter explaining what are "trade relations" and other interesting recent developments. Ray Reitman responded, rather on the ho-hum level, that he participated in the "usual local charity drives, golf, swimming" and then came through with a really interesting avocation, namely, "trips to the world's wine regions."
All for now and have a happy summer.
