1930
Having heard approximately "nothing from nobody" you will find that, even though remedial reading theory was almost unknown in our day and you didn't reap its benefits, you will still be able to get to the bottom of this column in pretty nearly nothing flat.
We were not able to attend the 100th anniversary dinner of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Boston, at which its president, Les Godwin, did a masterful job as chairman of the evening and its secretary, Dick Barnard, played an important part in bringing off what we hear was a splendid occasion. Among the 1200 at the dinner, 1930 was out in full force and with an attendance of nearly sixty just barely missed winning the attendance trophy, captured by 1927. The class had choice tables, front and center, in the Statler ballroom and was in a good position to lead the cheering for President-Emeritus Hopkins, President Dickey, and Nelson Rockefeller, who was the honored guest speaker of the evening. Ed Butterworth was busy circulating from table to table drumming up interest in next October's informal class reunion.
Bill Steams has been elected President of the Manchester (N. H.) National Bank, thus becoming the third generation of the Stearns family to assume active supervision of Manchester's oldest bank. Bill joined the Manchester National Bank in 1932 and became executive vice president in 1956, six years after he had climbed the ladder to vice president responsibilities. According to a report that is several years old now, and therefore lists only a small portion of his present "outside" duties, Bill was very active as an officer and director of many other Manchester firms. He served for three years in the Navy during World War II.
Harry Dunning, president and a director of Scott Paper Company, has been elected a director of the Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania. Belatedly we can add that Harry was the convocation speaker last October at the College of Business Adminis- tration of the University of Rochester.
Last month it was announced that the Ritter Company, producer of dental and medical equipment had acquired, through an exchange of stock, the Kerr Manufacturing Company of Detroit, a manufacturer of dental waxes and chemicals, as well as industrial molding materials. Bob Kerr has been president of Kerr for about 20 years, and has spent his entire business career with that company. Whether he would continue as its head after becoming a division of Ritter was not stated.
Win and Betty Stone are in London until next September, on an assignment under a Fulbright scholarship, its exact object not stated in the few words which drifted back via our class treasurer. On behalf of that hard working gentleman, inasmuch as the active period for Alumni Fund work has not opened, it is proper to mention that any one whose dues have not been remitted, still has the opportunity to send same to HarryCondon at 200 Berkeley Street, Boston.
As we write this, the Olympic winter games are just over, and it is noted that the United States hockey team, coached by Eddie Jeremiah, fared rather poorly, particularly against the Russians and the Canadians, winding up with a 2 won, 5 lost record and tied for fifth place among the eight teams.
If you read other parts of the MAGAZINE, you may have seen last month that we were embarrassingly double-scooped by the Wah- Hoo-Wah and Tuck School columns, in reporting that Cliff Michel, prominent Wall Street investment banker, had been named a trustee of Briarcliff College, Briarcliff Manor, N. Y. He is a partner in the firm of Carl M. Loeb, Rhoades & Co., and is chairman and treasurer of Dome Mines, Limited of Toronto. Recently, the engagement of Miss Betsy Shirley of Bernardsville, N. J., to Cliff and Barbara's son, Clifford Lloyd Michel, was announced. Both young people are students at Yale Law School, following their respective graduations from Smith and Princeton.
The marriage of Ethel Carnell, daughter of Jean Carnell and our late classmate, BradCarnell, to John Reydel on December 28 has been announced. Ethel teaches at Dutch Neck, N. J., School, following two years spent teaching in Tripoli; she is a graduate of the University of Vermont. Her husband, a graduate of Princeton and of Harvard's Graduate School, is now a teacher of history and coach of football and baseball at Lawrenceville.
Dr. and Mrs. Max Kenneth Horwitt announced the marriage of their daughter Mary Louise to Samuel Goldman, December 22, in Elgin, Ill., where Mac is director of the biochemical research laboratory of Elgin State Hospital.
Just about the time this issue will be mailed, the results of the first presidential primary in the nation will be known, that of New Hampshire, where Governor NelsonRockefeller has put a great deal of effort into his candidacy for the Republican nomination. He and Happy have traveled exten- sively there and into other states, coast to coast, on seemingly split second itineraries, have met thousands of people, and many speeches and informal talks have been made. This column wishes the Governor success in his effort, and particularly at the moment, that the outcome of the New Hampshire primary will measure up to his hopes.
Note from Ed Butterworth: "Don't be left out, make your reservations now for the Dartmouth-Princeton weekend, October 10 Informal Reunion."
