1925

The football rally held on the steps of Webster Hall the evening before the New Hampshire game really marked the opening of the college year from the standpoint of the alumni. The enthusiasm of the gathering to hear coach Bob Blackman introduce each member of the squad and to surround the tremendous bonfire erected by the Class of 1969 was dampened very little by the downpour of rain which fell during the proceedings. The weather turned cool and clear the following morning, however, and we enjoyed watching a talented squad of players get some experience at the expense of an inferior team from Durham. The usual class contingent from Hanover and vicinity was observed at the game. We were particularly happy to see Marly Huberth, who had recovered from the illness which kept him away from our reunion last June.

Mentioning reunion reminds us that Bob Borwell, following that delightful occasion, spent ten days cruising on his boat in Northern Michigan and Canadian waters. After a few weeks of catching up on his work with Marsh & McLennan, he took a short pleasure trip to Europe, driving about 2,000 miles through southern Germany, Austria, northern Italy, Switzerland, and ended up in Paris. Larry Leavitt also did a bit of cruising along the Maine coast with the Bill Jenkinses. One night they had dinner with the John Packards at Northeast Harbor and the last evening at Camden the Doug Archibalds came down from China to enjoy dinner on board. While up around New Brunswick the Jenkinses ran into DickNye, who was cruising in that area. Incidentally, our sympathy is extended to Dick, whose wife, Florence, well-known Republican Committeewoman from Greenwich, passed away early this fall.

Jack Norris with Bea and the Frank Kennedys attended the Alumni College last summer. A note from Stub Dwinnell, who normally commutes between Langhorne, Pa., and New York City, reports he rented his house for the ummer and took a 19th floor apartment in the city "while the Fresh Air children are on vacation and I am on 24-hour call." Charlie Hayward addressed the annual meeting of the Vermont Historical Society at Montpelier on the subject of "Yankee Dictionary" - which is the title of his most recent book.

Dutch Schroedel, who was unable to attend reunion because of illness, we are happy to report has recovered. Among other activities he has served as consultant for the development and planning committees for a new multi-purpose building to be constructed by the Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church. Red Martin, assistant secretary at the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co., has announced his retirement effective September 1. Red, who is a Springfield native, has been with the insurance firm for the past 35 years.

The Charles F. Moores Jr. have established t rust funds in memory of their fathers. The income is to be used for college education for graduates of Nauset Regional High School on the Cape. If that school should cease to exist the fund will be divided between Dartmouth and Harvard. Professor Walter Stockmayer has been given a $1500 award by the American Chemical Society for his research with polymer molecules and their size and shape. Walter, it will be recalled, occupies the chair which is financed by the Class of 1925 Professorship Fund.

Lou Kimball was the recent recipient (in absentia) of the Annual Governor's Award to the one who has done the most in the past year for the industrial development of Greater Jacksonville. Lou earned the award through his work as vice president of the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce for Established Industries, as well as his work as a director in the Junior Achievement Program. He is also a member of the executive committee of the Board of Governors of the Greater Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce, and treasurer and director of Rotary Club and has participated in many other civic and church activities. He is a member of the Board of Trustees of Jacksonville University. The award was announced while Lou was at Hanover last June. At this writing the Governor hadn't been able to catch up with him to present it personally because of Lou's frequent absences, from home.
