1942

Fortunately, your writer has more news than he can shake a quill at, so with a cheerful "welcome back" from what we trust was a pleasant and restful summer for each of you, we will proceed to the accumulated releases before Lipp scoops us with a surprise edition.

Dave Niven has been named New England advertising sales manager for Life Magazine. Dave joined Life in 1946 as a retail representative, served on the merchandising staff in New York and was assigned to the sales staff in the Boston office in 1954. The Nivens and their three children reside in Wellesley Hills. John de la Montagne participated in a summer field study in Italy sponsored by the American Geological Institute. John obtained his Ph.D. at the University of Wyoming and is professor of geology in the earth science department at Montana State College where he has done work in avalanche control. He planned to visit the Swiss Avalanche Institute at Davoe.

Jerry Tallmer was married in July to Marcia Ann Levant, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Levant of Beverly Hills, Calif. The bride attended the University of California at Los Angeles. She has appeared in New York stage productions and in off-Broadway plays. The Tallmers are in Europe where Jerry is studying on a Ford Foundation Fellowship. Our very best wishes are extended to them.

It is a pleasure to pass the word that our chairman, Bob Kirk, has been appointed general manager of Sealtest Foods milk and ice. cream operations for Southern New England. Bob started with the company in 1938 as a summer ice cream salesman and rejoined Sealtest following four years with the Naval Air Force. Bob has called a meeting of the Executive Committee in Hanover, Saturday morning of the Brown game, October 17. Any members of the Class are welcome to attend, 9:00 a.m. in 101 Parkhurst. The Class is arranging a pre-game cocktail party and luncheon at the Winships, 3 Parkway, to which student sons of classmates will also be invited. Any of you planning to be in Hanover are welcome, with families — just drop Ad and Kiki a note if you plan to be there.

Once again death has come to members of the '42 family. Bruce A. Stephens of Springfield, Mass., passed away in June after a period of being hospitalized, apparently with cancer. Lowell S. Peterson of Arcadia, Calif., died suddenly from a heart attack, also in June. The In Memoriam section of this or a subsequent issue provides additional information about these classmates who have passed from this life so unexpectedly.

Bob Strasenburgh II, president of Strasenburgh Laboratories, a division of Wallace and Tiernan, Inc., here in Rochester, N.Y., supplied the following quoted information.

"This past weekend (June 6-7) I ran into three classmates: Hazen Hinman, BobSearles, and Bob Hill. The occasion was graduation ceremonies at Holderness School, Plymouth, N. H. Hazen has a son, Jeff, who was in the graduating class, along with my oldest boy, John. Bob Hill gave the keynote speech at the graduation dinner - a knowledgeable talk on Latin America. He spoke eloquently and with conviction.

"Bob Searles is Director of Development at Holderness, and doing an excellent job. His almost snow white hair and perpetual tan really create an aura of an elder statesman. Harry Jacobs (who was not there) also has a son at Holderness who will graduate next year. I understand Harry's boy is a topflight skier, and will be heading for Dartmouth. Incidentally, Hazen's boy has been admitted to Dartmouth, while my son will be going to Claremont Men's College at Claremont, Calif. All in all, the weekend was a memorable occasion."

A steady correspondent who has proved a real blessing is Ad Winship. Here is what he wrote (edited, of course):

On the reportorial side, Dave Biggs was in Hanover with his son for an interview as a prospective candidate. In my recent travels I enjoyed visits with Ed and Dee Spiegel and Ernie and Jean Grinnell in St. Louis. Both couples were in Hanover for the June meetings. I also enjoyed seeing Joe Logan at the St. Louis alumni meeting. In Kansas City I had a pleasant visit with Paul Uhlmann who planned to visit Hanover later in the summer. I missed connections with Joe Chasnoff but had the pleasure at an enrollment meeting of meeting his nephew who may be a candidate for Dartmouth.

Last week Krete (Ed: who we imagine spent the summer smiling) and I enjoyed a luncheon at the Dartmouth Club in New York with Milt Williams and Bob Encherman.

Dartmouth's first Alumni College was attended by Jane and Harry Bartlett, Walt Haley, and Loring Jones. They were among the 200 alumni wives who spent two weeks of August in Hanover to enjoy lectures and seminars on such subjects as English, Economics, Physics, and Philosophy. One of the planners of this unusual venture, and a member of its faculty, was Harry Bond. The return to campus was complete, including dormitory life, Thayer meals, the added pleasure of plays and concerts from Hopkins Center's summer fare, and the bountiful recreation offered in Hanover in the summertime.

Bernie Teichgraeber and family were seen pausing briefly on Hanover's Main Street, en route home after picking up daughters at summer camp in northern New Hampshire. Stock and bondsman Bernie packed a mean load on the luggage rack of his Catalina wagon, and nimbly demonstrated some admirable hitches while the family shopped.

George and Weezie Clark visited Hanover in August with four-fifths of their offsprings, plus a handsome 18-year-old from Iceland who is spending a year in the Clark family as an American Field Service visitor. Reason for the trip was an admissions interview for son Donnie, who is not planning to follow elder brother to Harvard.

Olly Quayle's one-year-old firm of the same name is thriving nicely, in fact is up to its ears in election year affairs. Oily left his partnership with pollster Lou Harris a while back and now operates out of oficces in home town Bronxville, N.Y., keeping a highly skilled finger on the political pulse of the nation, as well as doing public opinion research for business and industry. You're apt to catch him on your ABC screen as analyst for that network's political commentators during any national election or significant state primaries.

'42s have had a remarkable summer from these indications. The balance of items, equally exciting and important, must wait the next issue. See you then - and keep up the great work!
