1959
All the hot flashes in these notes will have to burn brightly enough to last until the fall when the next regular ALUMNI MAGAZINE comes out. In the meantime keep me advised of any travels, changes or events which along with ice cubes and evening breezes, refresh your summer.
Class officers weekend early in May brought Jim Wooster and John Ferries to Hanover for a series of meetings and festivities. Things are looking up in the Alumni Fund, but we should be able to outclass '60 and '61 right from the start; and '57 isn't untouchable! John and I agreed that most of the questionnaire information is old hat now We'll shoot something else your way in the fall. Perhaps the main theme of the weekend was that concerning better development, by all classes, of regional organization to aid in both social and fund raising functions. If you have a nucleus in your area, let us know. We're all on a voluntary basis.
News this time is of a wide variety. DonBartlett, now in his fourth year at Harvard Medical School, will intern at Strong Memorial Hospital, Rochester, N. Y. Pete Scott completed with honors a four-week chemical biological and radiological course at Fort McClellan, Ala., back in February. John McCaughey recently graduated from the U.S. Air Force's Squadron Officer School at Maxwell AFB in Alabama. John was selected for the training in recognition of his "demonstrated potential as a leader in the aerospace force." He has now been reassigned to Dover AFB, Del. And more up-to-date word on Captain Dave Marr, U.S. Marines, he has resigned the Reynolds Fellowship mentioned last issue to accept the Edward John Noble Leadership Grant for International Fellows at Columbia U. He will enroll in the department of History. The award is for a student "interested in combining his professional talent and training with an international or public service career."
Also in the line of public service, JoeNadeau of Dover, N. H., was appointed chairman of the Strafford County Cancer Crusade. He served last year as city chairman of the American Cancer Drive in Dover. In addition to serving this post Joe acts as one of our class agents for the Alumni Fund and should receive thanks along with all of you who are putting in time and effort in that capacity. Hopefully, the contacts you make will be beneficial to you as well as the college.
Bob Bailey has recently been appointed to the faculty at Yale University. He is currently finishing his Ph.D. at Princeton and will go to New Haven in the fall. He will be teaching courses in Yale College as well as in the Graduate School of the University. Naturally he hopes to continue his piano playing.
Bruce Mclnnes is finishing his Master of Music this year at Yale. He is currently Director of the Apollo Glee Club at Yale, and assistant Director of the Yale Glee Club. Bruce has just been appointed to the faculty at Amherst College where he will be Director of the Glee Clubs, the Choir, and will serve as College Organist. He will also teach courses in the Music Department and offer private organ and voice lessons.
A longer bar should be put on our hitching post. Stu Mackler, one of our docs, will marry Elizabeth Lubell of Newton Centre, Mass., this June. She will do social work while he has patients (bad pun!). BobJockers and Gail Ann Perrault of Chappaqua, N. Y., announced their engagement in April. Bob is with The Reader's Digest in Pleasantville, N. Y. Shelly Landon will wed Margery Passett in Hartford, Conn., this summer. Shelly will finish up at University of Connecticut Law School this year. He earned his M.A. from Tuck in 1960. No doubt other wedding news will be made throughout the summer (or has just been made). Good luck to all of you. Send the details for the October issue.
And now to the new batch of address cards. They indicate that Don De Voe is in manufacturing out Minneapolis way, and that Dave Garrett is somewhere around Virginia Beach, Va., with the Navy, but who knows where? Norm Kurtz is an associate attorney with Eastman and Da Silva in New York. One of our many men in insurance, Wells Langbehn, is a bond representative for Aetna Casualty and Surety Co. in St. Louis. In Somerville. Mass., Jim Taylor serves as community organizer. The position comes under the general heading of welfare. And Dick Warden, fill me in on your current situation. What do you invest and what lured you away from that upper no-man's-land in Michigan? Dick's present address is Hopkins. Minn. Al Krutsch's card has the symbol "bk" on it and I can't decide whether that means banker or bookie so I'll wait to hear from him. His address is still Denver. Bill Lehan is presently with Mercoid Corp., a manufacturing firm in New York, and we can't find George Seielstad. George, are you still at the University of Alaska? Is the faithful Max still with you? Enough of these cards. I'll make a deal with all of you. Drop me an anonymous post card this summer telling me what another classmate should or shouldn't be doing. Then I can't print your name.
A tribute should go to Dick Watson for the fine job he did on Jack Keigley's In Memoriam article in the May ALUMNI MAGAZINE. God forbid that it happen, but when such a loss occurs I think a close friend should always be given a chance to express himself. Dick also makes a contribution as the secretary of the Dartmouth Club of Hartford, Conn.
As of September I'll be writing this column at the end of days spent in the Admissions Office rather than the classroom at Hanover High. I have accepted a position as an assistant to the Director of Admissions, Eddie Chamberlain '36, which will entail both admissions and enrollment work. I look forward to my job and the possibility of working with some of you in connection with it. Have a good summer.
