1949

PLANS PROCEEDING FOR 1949FIFTEENTH REUNIONJUNE 17-20, 1965

The reunion scouts, headed by Chairman Paul Woodberry, met in Hanover May 1 and 2 to plot and plan. McGean is Hanover undercover agent, slipping in the key reservations for choice spas. Since everyone in the class is much richer than they were in 1959 for our tenth, we expect many more to be there next June.

Chuck Hayward, career soldier, now an Army Lt. Colonel, is overseas eastward in the 24th Infantry Division and can be reached by drops at A.P.O. 112, New York.

Dave Kimball, breaking insurance in the family Wall Street Insurance brokerage, has moved a few feet in Scarsdale. His home is now at 46 Tunstall Road.

Tom Mullen has moved even less, inching up North Village Avenue in Rockville Center, N. Y„ from #414 to #435. Although he is obviously going up in the world, I'm not sure if he is still doing public relations with General Motors or not.

A 1 Neidle has left Indiana and emigrated east to Cleveland Heights. Al was in personnel with the Weatherhead Company. He is still in some kind of manufacturing, but details lack.

Chuck Yardley, whose climb up the New England Mutual Life Insurance Co. ladder is left foot, right foot, is now not only actuary, but also second vice president. He lives in Needham, Mass.

Johnny Adler is also boosting along. He has been a senior associate of Booz, Allen and Hamilton, the management consultants. Recently he took on new duties as vice president for corporate development of the Audits and Surveys Company, the country's second largest market survey operation. Before Booz, John was assistant general manager of Gimbels in New York. He says the new job is very exciting and offers great prospects. John is living in Scarsdale.

Dave Raynolds, our man at NATO, writes: "I'm probably coming down the home stretch of my assignment here at NATO, which has been interesting, but a bit off-beat for me since I've been working as an international civil servant rather than a U.S. official. This leads to striking rather unnatural attitudes, like Caesar's wife. Probably by summer I'll return to the U.S. fold.

"Meanwhile, I've had a fair chance to travel about Europe, sometimes on holiday with the family, and often on business. One of the difficult things to get used to is that international travel here is never taken lightly. There's such a hangover of the old awe of borders that when I make a one-day round trip to London or The Hague, everyone is appalled. The European method is to study the hurdle for a week or so, pack greatly, travel (the flight or train ride is only a few hours), arrive, flop into a hotel exhausted, rest a day, transact the two hours' worth of business, flop in the hotel another day, then return - thereby using up a week for the equivalent of a N. Y.-Washington flight. Though it's hard for us to understand, fifty miles here is distance, and 200 miles is a long way away." Dave enclosed a very weighty article he wrote entitled "The Search for Poise, The U. S. Balance of Payments."

Rog Sheldon left Arthur D. Little Co.'s thinkmachine and has taken up with Education and World Affairs, a fancy organization created a year and a half ago by the Carnegie and Ford foundations "to give some direction to the multifarious involvements in international educational activities of American higher education." I thought best to quote that, since I couldn't figure exactly what it meant. I'll let Roger continue first person: "My own responsibilities pertain to the oversight of all our program interests in relation to Latin America and scientific and technical international educational programs. Thus, I spend several months a year visiting higher educational institutions in Latin America. I am a part-time student as well, .attending a graduate seminar at Princeton and studying Spanish in odd moments.

"My work has taken me to Hanover and provided many interesting associations with faculty and administration. In our area of concern, Dartmouth ranks high, i.e. interest in and quality of international programs.

"Fortunately, I live five blocks from my office so I can walk to work and commute around the country and world."

Bob Schmitz married Joan Dittoe of Shaker Heights, Ohio, last February. ClaytMorey was in the wedding party. Honeymoon: Hanover.

Al Brooks, professor of the history of art at the University of Toronto, has been elected president of the Society of Architectural Historians at its annual meeting in Philadelphia. Al is completing a book about Chicago contemporaries of Frank Lloyd Wright.

Al Rich has been named headmaster of the Groveton (N. H.) High School. He was previously Headmaster of Haverhill Academy.

Zeke Straw, our Manchester, N. H., banker, will be head of that community's Community Chest Red Feather drive. Executive vice president and secretary of the Manchester Savings Bank, Zeke has held many public service positions. He is now assistant treasurer of the N. H. Children's Aid Society.

Nathan Gottschalk was guest conductor at a big function in the high schools of Troy, N. Y., called "Orchestra Day."

Ken Wheeler has been made vice president of Taft-Pierce Mfg. Co., of Woonsocket, R. I., makers of precision tools. Ken is manager of sales service. He succeeded his father in this position.

Roger Borregard is still in banking, and still in Maryland, but he has moved to the town of Lanham. Bob Jackson is another moving banker. From Chicago, he has moved to Wausau, Wis. Tom Towler, who has been following petroleum retailing in a supervisory capacity for Socony, is now relocated in Bethesda, Md.

Mike Bernkopf has moved to the Village, East 9th St., and is still in education. HughCruikshank hopefully, in absence of news to the contrary, weathered the Alaskan quakes. He has moved to Girdwood and is presumably still a newsman.

Gentlemen: Just this about the current Fund Drive Our class of 1949 is a dedicated class. We are important to the life of an important institution. We need to supply money in significant amount. Fortunately, the careers of most '49s are proceeding with enough economic power to make this possible. We are becoming increasingly pleased with the dedication of our class to one of its principal jobs, the annual Fund.
