1936

The Dartmouth-Princeton game in Hanover on an October weekend - what could hold more promise for an ideal holiday. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the billing. Dartmouth Night was held that Friday evening and was climaxed by a tremendous mid-campus bonfire of railroad ties assembled by the freshmen. Greetings to the College were received from far and wide and were later posted in Hopkins Center. A telegram from Dune Newell read "70 strong in sunny Phoenix, where the sun will not have set when you gather at Dartmouth Hall, have Dartmouth Night in their hearts." On Saturday the battle cry Put the Tiger in the Tank was to no avail and the score was as dreary as the weather. However, a record crowd was on hand including a fine representation from 1936. Bill Macurda entertained Phi Kappa Psi '36 at his summer place on Lake Sunapee - fratres present were Don Ballantyne, Lindsey Brigham, Al Gibney, Sub Harris, Bill Hoffman, Jerry King, Paul Lynch, Dick Morton, Dick Spencer and Vin Wentworth. The class executive committee held a meeting and open house at the Bonnie Oaks on Lake Morey with these members present: Pete Fitzherbert, Jim Stephens, Chuck Aaron, Gil Balkam, Cliff England, Bob Fernald, Paul Guibord, Norb Hofman, John Sawyer, Chuck Sims, Brint Schorer, Gib Sykes, Bud Titcomb and Ross Woodbridge. The game was also attended by Roy Adams, Ted Andrews, Bill Davis, Russ Capelle, Ralph Earl, Art Greene, Arnold Hatch, Nox Howard, Dick Jewell, Bob Keller, Art Levin, Ross Martindale, Joe Millimet, Ben Moyer, Bill Sicher, Morrie Stein, Don Sutherland, Jim Tindle, and George Tillinghast.

The weekend was an occasion for brief family reunions. Barbara and Pete Fitzherbert's daughter, Nancy, came to Hanover from Colby Junior College. Bounce and Ross Woodbridge met their daughter, Martha, who is a senior at the University of Mew Hampshire. Bill Davis flew in from Bartlesville, Okla., to see his daughter at Middlebury as well as attend the game. Since overnight accommodations around Hanover were at a premium, a friend with a house in the area was a decided asset. GibSykes entertained at his summer home in Dorset, Yt. Gib is chairman of our Titanic Thirtieth Reunion which is to be held in Hanover on June 13, 14 and 15, 1966. Although this might seem a long time off, many of you must make long range plans for this holiday in Hanover. So, mark your calendar and plan to be there.

The October 10 issue of Business Week featured an article on the Cyprus Mines Corp. with home offices in Los Angeles and operations scattered throughout the world. This organization is controlled by the influential Mudd family of California and it lists Ken Lieber as Vice-Pres.-Operations. Numerous inspection trips must keep Ken airborne a good percentage of his time, but it sounds fascinating — Cyprus, Hawaii, Holland, British Columbia, Australia. I can't get out of Brooklyn! The 41st Annual Report of the American Management Association lists two familiar names on the planning council - Art Toan, partner of Price Waterhouse and Bill Ferguson, Asst. Controller of the Carborundum Co. of Niagara Falls. The weekly Journal of Concord, Mass., recently carried a detailed outline of the services of Appleby and Wyman, Insurance; Bill Wyman, president. Bill represents 20 different insurance companies in that area and his staff is ready to counsel and write a policy for anything.

Communities throughout the United States this month are displaying thermometers on billboards to indicate the "health of the local United Fund or Community Chest campaigns. Bath, Me., has an advantage - Bill Niss is heading their special gifts division. Bill is vice-president, treasurer and director of the Bath Iron Works. His son, Robert, is at Proctor Academy and daughter, Sarah is at Bath Junior High.

Bob and Betty Frank of Lake Geneva, Wis., were excited this past summer when their daughters, Marnie and Nancy, as crew members, won the-North American Women's Sailing Championship. Marnie is a freshman at Carleton College, Northfield, Minn. Bob is directing research for Morton Salt and Morton Chemical Co.

Subscribers to Life have probably noticed literary articles and critical reviews signed by editor, David E. Scherman. The October 9 issue had an amusing literary editorial by Dang entitled "Let's Pep Up Those Old Classics." The November 6 Life featured the work of another editor, Frank Kappler. Frank did the lead story on Jean Paul Sartre occasioned by the publication of Sartre's autobiography, "The Words."

We are at that point in life when our parents have reached the twilight years and are leaving us. Bob Button recently lost his father, a former account executive for Merrill Lynch and a native of Maplewood, N, J. Chan Libbey's mother passed away in Lewiston, Me., and Chan came on from his home in Livingston, Mont. Chan has been in the west for many years and operates a successful beer distribution business. If Schaefer goes west, perhaps we can enlist his services.

Before we leave autumn and the football season, we should mention the Yale game in New Haven. The weather was glorious and even though the score wasn't anything to cheer about, the day was. The parking lot picnic crowd was out in force for martinis al fresco and a basket lunch on the tailgate. The College seats classmates together and around us we spotted Jack and Dotty Squiers, Bob and Theo Prentice, Dr. Joe Wool and family, Jim and Ollie Gibney, Ken Wilson, Herb Beskind, Ed and Ruth Brooks, Norm Simon, Boyce Price, Paul Guibord, Pep Minte and Jack Smith proudly wearing his U.S.A. Olympic navy blue blazer. The undergraduate slogan for the day was "Eliminate the Eli" but it worked in reverse.

In the northeast we are hoping that winter precipitation in the form of snow compensates for the terrible summer-fall drought. Our children have embraced skiing with a zeal which has put many of us back on the slopes.

Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a wonderful, prosperous 1965.
