1930

President Fred Scribner is starting his administration with a series of directives, pleas, and plans for a stronger, more interested and more generous 1930. Looking back on reunions, formal and informal, on Alumni Fund giving and on general class interest, it is apparent that no more than 50% of the Class are supplying 90% of all those requirements for excellence. It may be that we will have to pull up our socks if we are to continue to talk confidently about the "great Class of '30." As time goes along, Fred will reveal some of his ideas as to an approach to this rejuvenation.

Most immediate is a series of fall get-togethers that will be covered more fully in this column or the Thirtyteer as time goes along, but the following will serve as dates to save. Bob Keene's and Ed Butterworth's informal reunion on October 9 for the Penn game will include a tailgate lunch at the Bema and dinner at the Hanover Inn. This event will be preceded by an Executive Committee meeting at Dent Cabin on Friday afternoon. The R. I. Alumni Association will have a tent for the Brown game (October 16) across the'street from the stadium. Ed Butterworth will lead a tailgate party at the Harvard game (October 23). Those interested should write Ed at 16 Fuller Ave., Swampscott, Mass., to obtain admission tickets for the parking area at Gate 14. Leading a similar party at New Haven (October 30) will be Charlie Ranch whose camp site will be the green and white tent in the vicinity of the Walter Camp Memorial entrance to the Bowl. And rallying the pack at Princeton on November 20 will be Shaw Cole. Finally, on December 2, there will be a Class Dinner in New York to honor Charlie Raueh, Art Browning, and Wally Blakey for all their contributions to 1930 during the past five years. Red Gould will be organizing this affair which will probably be held at the Dartmouth Club. The dinner will be preceded by an Executive Committee meeting at 3 P.M.

Honors to three New Hampshire classmates. Bill Stearns, president of Manchester National Bank, has been elected President of the New Hampshire Bankers Association. In addition to his business interests, Bill is state treasurer for Radio Free Europe, treasurer of the Salvation Army and a trustee of the YMCA. Hank Newell, a partner in the Newell-Goodspeed architectural and engineering firm in Concord, was honored at the annual meeting of the New Hampshire Society of Professional Engineers for "outstanding contributions to NHSPE and untiring efforts through the New Hampshire Society for the elevation of the engineering profession." A testimonial dinner for EdDowney, retiring principal of Nashua's Fairgrounds Junior High School, was held in June. Ed has been a most respected educator in New Hampshire for many years. We join in this tribute to him as a man of "integrity and honor."

Lin Savage, who is a vice president of New England Merchants National Bank of Boston, was elected vice president of the Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts. After 34 years with the MacGregor Sports Division of the Brunswick Corporation, Jack Herrick has become executive secretary of the Mechanical Contractors Association of Cincinnati. Jack had most recently been serving as manufacturing manager of MacGregor. Frank Wallace has moved from the Sealright Company in Fulton, N. Y., to take the position of Assistant Production Manager, Scheduling and Order Department at Texas Pulp and Paper Co. in Silsbee, Texas. Fran and Billie Horn, always on the go, are attending a conference of the International Association of Universities in Tokyo, with side trips to Manila, Hong Kong, and Taipei. This is their third international venture within a year. And to keep young, Fran plans to teach a graduate level seminar on "Higher Education in America" at U.R.I, where as president for seven years he has seen the student body grow from 2500 to 4300, two new campuses established, and 29 new buildings erected.

1930 students in Alumni College this year were freshmen John and Ellie French and sophomores Fred and Jean Jaspersen. Ellie was spokesman for her class at the closing banquet. Dick and Gladys Parker are enjoying a holiday in Ireland "before going back to the papyri in the British Museum."

For those who read the yachting news out of Larchmont, it is obvious that HorstOrbanowski is usually in the van of the Atlantic Class. Interest in these 31 foot boats has been revived recently with fiberglass additions to the fleet.

Meade Alcorn is back in the Connecticut political picture as the Republican floor leader of the Constitutional Convention which convened on July 1 and will continue until October 29.

Buck Steers is serving this year as chairman of the American Association of Advertising Agencies. Al Marsters, executive vice president of Bausch & Lomb, has been named General Manager, International Division, to be responsible for the operation of all subsidiaries and affiliated organizations outside the United States.

Bob Jordan Jr. will marry Judith Anne Simonds of Putney, Vt., in October. Bob is a graduate of Harvard College and the Graduate School of Business Administration. Barbara Jean Childs, daughter of Ted and Ida, was married in June to Kenneth B. Sampson, and Katrina Rauch became the bride of Stearns J. Bryant Jr. of Winthrop, Me.

Harry Dunning, president of Scott Paper Company, will deliver the keynote address at the Annual Marketing Conference of the National Industrial Conference Board in October.

Jack Rich was renamed Bequest Chairman at our June reunion. In a quiet way, he has done much to interest members of our Class in this long-range project. Currently, 40 men have made a provision for Dartmouth College in their estate planning, and almost twice that number have expressed their intention to make such a provision. Please give Jack and the College your support as he continues this most important work.

Bob and Louise Keene will miss the Penn game as they expect to be in Szatperra, Sweden, where Bob will be pursuing his commercial photography interests.

Hope to see you all at many of our class meetings this year.
