1939

Fall is the finest season of the year. Let no man among us let his spirit get so old that he look upon it only as a dying season. This is the time for deep breathing, long walks, and soaring thoughts. This is the season for log fires and color-filled forest panoramas and football games. This is a fine time to get things going. This is a time to celebrate Dartmouth Undying in thought as well as in song.

Bert MacMannis is working his old brain overtime in listing possible projects for the Class. There's no doubt about it. We are coming of age, both individually and collectively, and all intelligent suggestions for worthwhile projects by the Class would be welcomed. Come to think of it, maybe some crazy suggestions might yield a good one. On some fall trip, give this matter some thought. We all have great faith in Dartmouth, and if you believe in something as strongly as we do, it seems as if we could apply our thinking toward a very meaningful project.

We've had our best summer here, and now the mountains of western North Carolina are breathtakingly beautiful. We have perhaps a greater proportion of deciduous trees than New England, and as the leaves fall, greater views open up every day. We have seen the thrilling Alabama-Georgia game and a number of other fine football games, but we yearn to see the Big Green in action. We hope a good number of you have watched the backs go tearing by this fall and that the Woodstock Inn had a capacity crowd for that extra reunion, which should yield an annual dividend of everything good.

Fall must be a time for changing leases and moving into new houses and keeping ahead of the sheriff. Jim Corner is back at Horseshoe Hill, Hockessin, Del. Bob MacLeod has shortened his address to Box 244, Malibu, Calif. Warren Pinoey now gets his mail at Room 1208, 211 North Ervay Bldg., Dallas, Texas, while Sidney Birge gets his at Box 425, Ivoryton, Conn.

Bob Kaiser is now the boss in 305 Crosby Hall in Hanover and is about to run the Dartmouth Bequest and Estate Planning Program. Bob writes interestingly and candidly that "that old debbil" merger reared its ugly head in late 1964 and swallowed up the company he'd been with since the war. His area of work in the new combine appeared uninviting, so he turned in his suit at the end of the year, and in his new status - unemployed - was able to consider a long-held desire to return to the education world. Naturally he turned first to Hanover, and one thing led an another. He was offered the job in April, accepted it and started to work in May, bought a house in July, and moved the family up in early August. The Kaisers are only 200 yards from the practice football field, so Bob can give us something better than knothole reports. He thinks the offense will show plenty of fireworks and excitement, and as this is written, he is 100% correct. He very generously offers a watering spot for all visiting classmates plus "plenty of parking space in the neighborhood." What more do you want? Bob seems to love his work, and he would be a natural to advise us on a good class project.

Col. Eddy Palmer has migrated to 141 Upper Mountain Ave.; Montclair, N. J. Eddy received the Legion of Merit medal upon his retirement from the Army Medical Corps this summer and has accepted a position with the Veterans Hospital in East Orange.

Dr. Ralph Reynolds has moved a few numbers to 75 Willett St., Albany, N. Y., and Dr. Fred Worden may now be reached at 1541 Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles. Bud Andrews has moved to 5673 Mapleridge Drive, Cincinnati, Ohio, and ClemBurnap to 224 20th St., Newport Beach, Calif. Arnie Childs may be found at 5415 South Third St., Arlington, Va., and BillRussell has left Hanover for Cornish Road, Peterborough, N. H.

We have heard from Armando Chardiet that his wife, Mary Jo, after a long illness died last August 2. He says, "Her last wonderful time was at our class reunion." The sympathy of all of us, especially those who were at Reunion, is extended to Armando, whose new address is Vernon Court, Woodbridge, Conn. He is an associate professor at Fairfield University.

Our star tenor sax player, Lew Joel, who is superintendent of schools in Clinton, Conn., on the side, received his Ph.D. in June from the University of Connecticut. Ever since we heard the Barbary Coast, we knew he'd succeed.

Bob Thomas, who has been dean of students at Adelphi College in Sayville, N. Y., resigned in June to become dean of students at Mac Murray College in Jacksonville, Ill.

Dr. Charlie Thompson has been named to the Advisory Council of the Newton, Mass., Health Department. Jack Parkhurst, who teaches English at Castleton State College in Vermont, received his Master of Arts degree at Fairleigh Dickinson last June. Hugh McLaren has tackled a new job. The paper we read said he was a "roving specialist" named by the New York City Board of Education to assist in planning the city's massive building program. He has done the plans for the city's new Food Trades High School and the new expansion of the High School of Fashion Industries.

Skip Morse, who is director of purchases for Union Bag-Camp Paper Corp., has been elected president of the Purchasing Agents Association of New York. Lou Oldershaw, one of Holyoke's prominent civic leaders, has been elected president of the National Blank Book Co. there.

So many men have brought distinction to the Class recently through promotions and awards that we're going to have to save some items for next month. Meanwhile, please report on all informal reunions at the games. Keep the clippings and letters coming up the mountain to old Hank. He appreciates them and will try to mention everyone soon. And now if you'll excuse me, we need some more logs on the fire!
