1936

September is a hectic month for parents. While there are a few who have just enrolled the small fry in kindergarten, there are many more of us who have refinanced the mortgage to send junior packing off to college. If you have transported a daughter to college, you have learned the real capacity of a station wagon. Bill and Claire Foster are in the middle of a major educational program. Bill is with Remington Arms in Bridgeport, Conn., where he has been since graduation. Bill Jr. has graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design and is working in New York with B.B.D.&O., and Elizabeth graduated in June from the Bridgeport Hospital School of Nursing. Ann is a sophomore at the University of Connecticut and the twins, Jennifer and Jonathan, are freshmen at Southern Connecticut College. Dr.Dan and Addie Barker's son. Bruce, has returned to Colby College, Waterville, Me., where he will captain the track and field team in his junior year. He holds the Maine state record for the shot put.

From his home in Tarzana, Calif., WaltKadlec, is marketing plastics for DuPont. His children are moving up the ladder and Ann is already in the business world, while David attends Valley Junior College and Wendy and Laurel attend high school in the San Fernando Valley. During his Alumni Fund campaigning, he contacted other '36ers enjoying the West Coast. Bill Bruckner has temporarily been in Sherman Oaks on a writing assignment, but plans to return to his home in Palm Springs. Wilbur Mullen lives in Garden Grove and is regional sales manager for Mallory Battery Co. Ken Lieber has been promoted to senior vice-president of Cyprus Mines of Los Angeles. His company has recently taken steps to acquire the assets of United Clay Mines Corp. of Trenton, N. J.

Hank Smith has been vice president of Higharn, Neilson, Whitridge & Reid, Inc. insurance brokers in King of Prussia, Pa., and his fine efforts on their behalf were rewarded in June with his appointment to their board of directors. Dick Treadway has added insurance to his activities by joining the Boston firm of Boit, Dalton and Church, Inc. He is serving as a vice president of this firm in addition to his duties as chairman of the Board of Treadway Inns, Inc., and chairman of the executive committee of the Harbor National Bank in Boston. Hesty Hirst has joined the board members of Blackstone Mutual Insurance Co. of Providence, R. I. Effective June 1 he was promoted to executive vice president and director of Blackstone Mutual with whom he has been associated since 1945. Maybe we could persuade Hesty to drive his antique fire engine to our 30th reunion, which is less than a year away at this date. If you haven't marked your calendar, get out the magic marker and circle June 13, 14 and 15, 1966 - your presence will be requested in Hanover.

Budd Schulberg was in Hanover in May as guest lecturer for English 84, the History of Motion Pictures, a new course surveying this art form. Mike Jackson, columnist for the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, devoted a May column to Budd in which he wrote, "There is no 'public' Budd Schulberg. There is only a man who writes. This he does so much better than any one else, except John O'Hara, that someday the campus literati will discover that we have a major talent in our midst."

Jim Pollock has been named assistant chief geologist, exploration, for the Hanna Mining Company, Cleveland, Ohio, a firm he recently joined after serving 13 years as director of geology of Calumet and Hecla, Inc. With his previous employer Jim had been responsible for geological services and exploration in the United States and Mexico. Prior to that he had been associated with the American Smelting and Refining Co. in this country and Peru, following service with the U.S. Geological Survey.

Kudos and plaques continue to fly among our ranks. John Sullivan received the annual brotherhood award of the Westchester region of the National Conference of Christians and Jews for his public service to civic, religious, educational, and charitable organizations in his capacity as president of WNEW. John was in Hanover in May to receive the first Ivy Broadcaster's award at a banquet concluding the two-day convention of the eight college stations in the Ivy Network. Fred Weiss has been elected vice president of Dartmouth College's General Association of Alumni. Fred is partner in the Mount Clemens Rose Gardens, Mount Clemens, Mich. Even though Fred raises roses commercially, I wonder if he has as much trouble with aphids as the rest of us. Andy Schmidt of Holyoke, Mass., has been elected president of the Pioneer Valley Dartmouth Alumni Club. Larry and Jane Marx were recipients of the American Jewish Committee's 1965 Human Relations Award. In August their daughter, Lynn, was married to Jon Silverman. Lynn is a graduate of Hood College and Jon, a McGill alumnus, received his master's from Cornell and is now studying for his doctorate at N.Y.U. (Larry has recently become a member of the executive committee of United Merchants and Manufacturers, Inc., where he is vice president and director. United Manufacturers is a diversified producer and distributor of textiles and best known for its chain of 376 Robert Hall Stores.)

Mac Rowell's interest in music is still going strong in Newport, N. H., where he is assistant manager of Rowell Brothers, suppliers of hardware and building materials. Mac is director of the South Congregational Church Choir and this past spring directed the Combined Area Choirs of Newport in an Easter program. From Orford, N. H., there is word that "The Report of the Bicentennial Celebration of Orford" contains an article by Dan Doan. The old timers were asked to contribute and Dan's "Ruffed Grouse in the Thirties" remembers partridge through rose colored gun sights. Some of our classmates in the Thirties did their quail hunting closer to Northampton, Mass.

Ray Dorsey, chief editorial writer of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, was in New York in the spring to participate in the American Press Institute at Columbia University. Ray received his master's degree from the Graduate School of Journalism of Columbia in 1937 and joined the Plain Dealer shortly thereafter. Ross Woodbridge visits New York City frequently for theCCase-Hot Corporation of Rochester, N. Y., printers extraordinaire. His daughter, Martha, graduated from the University of New Hampshire in June and is working for Xerox in Waltham, Mass. Dick and Dodie Taylor are delighted to have their daughter, Barbara, back in Fairfield, Conn., after her year in Germany as an A.F.S. student. Her trip home on the "Seven Seas" was quite eventful, if you will remember the newspaper accounts of this disabled liner's plight off Newfoundland when fire knocked out the engine room. A tug finally towed the ship into port and the hundreds of students on board were shuttled to New York by plane.

At the commencement program of the Cherry Lawn School in Darien, Conn., in June the Freedoms Foundation' Valley Forge Teachers Medal award was presented to Ludwig Zuber, academic principal and head of the history department at Cherry Lawn. This award was in recognition of Ludwig's ability as a dedicated and dynamic teacher bringing history alive for his pupils and making the concept of democracy vital and meaningful.

Dr. Francis "Bud" Soule, former captain in the U.S. Navy, has joined the Beverly Hospital in Beverly, Mass., as director of medical education. Bud leaves the U.S. Naval Hospital in Bethesda, Md., where he served as chief of medicine and director of clinical services. His special qualifications are as consultant and lecturer in gastroenterology and tropical medicine. The North Shore will need the former knowledge - the latter might have a limited demand, but the local medical staff has already extended a warm welcome.

August found the Alumni College well attended and enjoyed by Fran and Gil Balkan! of West Islip, Long Island, Dorothyand Dick Allen of Montpelier, Vt., Barbaraand Pete Fitzherbert of Auburn, Me., and Professor Larry and Charlotte Goldthwait, St. George's School, Newport, R. I. Perhaps we can obtain a first hand report on the program from one of them. Summer in Hanover these summers is as busy as the rest of the school year. Make plans for the THIRTIETH REUNION and see for yourself.
