1952
Hot dog and wow! I lay buried under an avalanche of mail, inundated by a flood of correspondence which informs me of all the great and happy things which are befalling the lot of Dartmouth '52. Oh you marvels, you irrepressible paragons of the American Way. I hardly know where to begin. Shall we do it alphabetically?
Then we start with Jack Barclay who was unanimously elected president of the Independent Wire Rope Manufacturers Association at a March meeting of that group in Key Biscayne, Fla. Then we move to PeteBurnside who used to have American League batters trying to figure out the tricky slants he had on a baseball as a pitcher for the Washington Senators but who now has a different slant on things as a star hurler for the Hanshin Tigers of Japan's Central League. This latter bit of news comes to me via a clipping from the Japan Times, an English Language newspaper sent to me by Sonny Drury '48. The clipping tells of Pete's five hit victory over the defending champion Yomuiri Giants by a 4-1 score. Sonny also tells me Pete won his second start but he didn't have the details on that one.
Already I've erred in my attempt to alphabetize this column. I should have mentioned before, that Joe Baute was a candidate for membership on the School Board in Keene, N. H. Joe had previously been a member of the board for five years, serving one year as chairman. Joe is marketing manager of Markem Machine Co. and a director of the New Hampshire Council for Better Schools. Joe's interest in good schools undoubtedly stems from his family of four children who range in age from 3 months to nine years. And also among the B's, Bob Brace has just been appointed to the Board of Trustees of his wife's alma mater, Pine Manor Junior College.
From the University of Illinois a report of recent appointments to the faculty shows us that Dr. Ed Futterman has been named assistant professor of psychiatry in the College of Medicine. Previously Ed had been working with the Mental Health Division of the Chicago Board of Health.
Now we skip from the F's to the L's and find that Brock Lewis has been appointed trust officer of the Farmers-Matteawan National Bank of Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Formerly Brock had served as assistant trust officer of the Fidelity Union Trust Company in Newark, N. J.
Down in Atlantic City last month JohnLloyd III of Dartmouth '52 and the State Department spoke to the Atlantic Kiwanians on "Thailand and Our Economic Aid." John knows his subject well. During his 12 years in the State Department he has served in Bangkok, among other places, and is now working on Thai affairs in Washington.
And speaking of the Far East, as we come to the M's, I have news of one' of the most interesting new jobs in a long time, a job which takes my neighbor in Old Greenwich, Roy Megargel, to that far-away part of the world for extended stays. Roy is the new associate counsel for Hewitt-Robins Corp. in Glenbrook, Conn., maker of industrial equipment such as conveyor belts. Roy has already spent two months in India since the first of the year and when I talked to his wife, Kate, tonight she told me he's back over there again. She further informs me that she will be going over to join him for a visit in five weeks but that between now and then the task of getting their boat in the water this spring falls to her. They have a beautiful 33 foot ketch called "Seebar" which sleeps four comfortably and on which they spend most of their summer weekends. Much as Roy enjoys his new work, Kate tells me, he is quite anxious to get back to Connecticut and the "Seebar" this summer.
It looks as though the folks at S. C. Johnson & Sons will be waxing even stronger than ever (oh, you just can't trust a punster!) since our own TerryMalone has been named assistant to the executive vice president of the pre-eminent maker of products for the beautification of the home and auto. Terry joined Johnson's Wax in 1956 as an inventory analyst, was named systems planning coordinator in 1960, and budget manager in 1962. Please think kindly of Terry next time you find yourself on all fours with that waxer, boys!
This certainly is the month for the M's. Down in New York The Bank of New York has made Pete McCreary assistant vice president. Pete joined the bank is 1957 and became assistant secretary in 1961. Pete and Harriet live with their two daughters, Patricia and Elizabeth in Plainfield, N. J. And up in Boston. Robert E. Eastmen & Co., national radio representatives, have made Steve Meterparel New England manager. Wah-Hoo-Wah for all the M's and from them to the...
...R's like Edwin T. Rice, vice president of the insurance firm of Godard, Rice & Co., Inc. (Ed led his class scholastically in a recently completed insurance course held at the home office of the Aetna Casualty & Surety Co.) or Charles Mcßae "Bobby"Roberts, the newly elected president of the Penn Charter Alumni Society and not-too-long-ago-elected assistant vice president of the First Pennsylvania Banking and Trust Co. in Philly.
Last letter in the news this month is S, representative of Walt Simons who was elected vice president of Barnet and Reef Associates, Inc., an international public relations. firm. Walt, a senior account executive of the firm, was formerly with Standard-Vacuum Oil Company in New York and Indonesia, so he's another world-traveling member of the One True Class.
There was one other vice presidency of the month but it went to C. Blakemore of Compton Advertising and I didn't want to put it up front with the B's for fear it would attract too many creditors.
