1938

Another football season is now underway, and final plans have been announced for the Brown Game get-together at the Lake Morey Inn. If you haven't made reservations and decide to come at the last minute, be sure and contact the Inn in Fairlee, Vt., by telephone or telegraph. There is no assurance that there will be accommodations available at this late date, but it wouldn't hurt to try. Judging from the response to questionnaires sent last spring, there is sufficient interest in such an event to make it an annual affair, and we are proceeding on that assumption for another year.

Hanover was graced with the presence this summer of one Charles C. Keyes, who was attending the Credit Course at Tuck School; Jordan Colton, who was passing through on a camp tour; Don Boyle, staying with the family at Lake Morey; and YoungParran Dawkins with young hopeful scouting out the prep school situation as a client of your secretary.

Not in Hanover, and for that matter not even in the United States, the Gil Tanis family and the Stearns MacNutt family spent a month in Europe. Whether they made connections over there or not, I haven't heard. The Tanises' daughter, Margaret, spent the summer in Nimes under the auspices of The Experiment in International Living; she will enter Pine Manor Junior College this fall.

As some of you know full well by now, I have been sending out a form letter to all classmates whose addresses are reported changed. My secretary addressed one to "Fred" Davis, of Bloomfield Hills, Mich., to which the pithy response was: "For God's sake! What ever happened to 'Muff'?" The Muffer goes on to state, on the letterhead of U. S. News & World Report, that he was in NYC this summer and was royally entertained by Mattimore along with John Tower and various assorted members of the classes of 1937 and 1936 and even some "aliens" who had attended institutions in New Haven and Princeton.

The good news out of Dayton, Ohio, is that the past president of the Dartmouth Club of that fair city, Dick Gilbert, has just recently been elected vice president-administration for The Mead Corporation. Dick has risen fast with Mead for he joined that firm only back in 1961 on a shift from the McDonnel Aircraft Corp., where he was comptroller. In 1962 he was named director of information services and since then has been associated with the development of Mead's technology.

Whatever else the Class of 1938 can do, at least it appears to be articulate, judging from the speaking engagements filled by various members of the class since the last appearance of these notes. Dr. John P. Merrill, an outstanding expert in the field of transplantation, lectured on that subject at the Lawrence and Memorial Hospital in Norwich, Conn. He is presently senior associate in medicine at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston and professor of clinical medicine at Harvard Medical School.

Bill Lansberg, librarian for Hobart and William Smith Colleges, served as MC for the dedication of the west wing of the Demarest Library at those institutions. DickFrancis was the speaker on the subject of "Modern Communications for Today's Business" at the Kiwanis Club in Northampton, Mass. He is presently Western Division Sales Manager of the New England Tel. & Tel. Co. and is a vice president of the Sales and Marketing Executives Club of Springfield; he lives in Wilbraham, Mass.

"Wanted - Some Bench Marks in Education" was the topic for George Reynolds, when he spoke to the Edgewood (N.Y.) Parent-Teacher Association. He is director of program and research for Scarsdale Schools and lives in Chappaqua.

Rev. Telfer Mook, director of the work of the United Church of Christ Missionaries in India and Ceylon, was the guest speaker at the annual Men's Night of the Women's League of the South Congregational Church in Glastonbury, Conn. Since 1958 he has spent nearly three years in India and Ceylon in pursuit of his mission. At present he travels extensively throughout the United States.

The Tri-State Transportation Committee, which coordinates various matters for the states of Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York, has announced the appointment of Dr. J. Douglas Carroll Jr. as executive director of the committee. Dr. Carroll served as director of the Chicago Area Transportation Study from 1955 to 1963. He developed many of the study techniques now being used for urban transportation study programs and has written many articles on the subject. Dr. Carroll was director of the Detroit Metropolitan Area Traffic Study from 1953 to 1955 and more recently served as a consultant to the Pittsburgh and St. Louis Area Transportation Studies. Dr. Carroll holds a doctorate in city and regional planning from Harvard.

Morrow Peyton has recently been elected vice president of the Northwestern National Bank of Minneapolis.

From the armed forces comes word that Dr. (Lieutenant Colonel) John B. Harmon has been graduated from the Brooks AFB Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine and has been re-assigned to the USAF hospital at Carswell AFB, Tex.

The Rev. John Parker Coleman, rector of St. Dunstan's Church, Sumner, Washington, D.C., and the Church of the Redeemer, Glen Echo, has been active in revitalizing the church schools of those churches. Recognizing the waning of interest in Sunday Schools, he has instituted a "Monday School" instead. The plan has been copied by several other churches in the area and seems to result in better attendance, more serious work, and a more dedicated attitude toward the curriculum.

On the political scene, Representative Albert P. Pettoruto, Republican, has filed for renomination as representative in the 12th Essex (Mass.) District in the state primaries. The district includes Andover, Lawrence, North Andover, and Methuen. He is completing his second term in office, during which time he served as a member of the Committee on Pensions and Old Age Assistance. He was a member of the Republican House Advisory Committee, being the only first year man to serve.

And finally, the Lynn, Mass., Sunday Post featured in its department, "You didn't know, but it's your day in the Sunday Post," the career and personality of Attorney C. Frank Hathaway. A feature similar to "This Is Your Life" of erstwhile TV fame, the account gives a complete story on Frank and his career in Lynn.

This just about winds up the old shoe box for the summer months - see you in Cambridge, New Haven, and points elsewhere.

Secretary, 12 Summer St., Hanover, N.H.

Treasurer, Hunter Lane, Rye, N.Y.
