1941

As of the date of this writing, the Dartmouth-Princeton game on November 20 shapes up as a real wing-ding. It should provide a wonderful background for a Saturday afternoon when many of our classmates will get together at Palmer Stadium. On a good day weather-wise there are always a few groups of '41's camped along the banks of Lake Carnegie enjoying pregame cocktails, picnic lunches, renewing friendships and yes - even engaging in a little touch football. There isn't as much of the latter as there used to be for as time goes on more and more of the participants have moved to the sidelines and left the playing up to the youngsters who are by now an important part of class gatherings. So if you're in the neighborhood on the day of the game, come early and join the fun. Incidentally, if you haven't heard, the Dartmouth-Cornell game of Nov. 13 will be the NCAA regional game of the week in the East.

Not too much to report on the Reunion plans this month but a big meeting coming up on October 29 will mean lots of news on this subject in the December notes. Congratulations to Frank Simpson for getting "Dope From the Duckboards" back on the track.

We were pleased to get the news of Carl Krogh's promotion to general manager of the Tungsten Division of Firth Sterling, Inc. in Pittsburgh. Carl will have over-all responsibility for development, production, and distribution of the company's lines of tungsten carbide and other tungsten alloy products for aerospace, automotive, metalworking, ordnance, petroleum and other markets. Carl joined Firth Sterling in 1950 and prior to that had been with Osborn Manufacturing Company and Robert Heller Associates, the management consulting firm. Carl lives in the suburban Whitehall area of Pittsburgh with his wife, Mary, and daughters Christine, Jean, Betsy and Anne. Our thanks to another Pittsburgher, Treasurer Stew Steffey, for sending that news along to the class secretary.

A photo of Walt Lipman appeared in the Port Chester, N. Y., newspaper, "The Daily Item," during the summer to announce that Walt would be a chairman for the Community Chest campaign in Port Chester and Rye Town. A summary of Walt's career since Dartmouth days was included and warrants passing along to his many friends in the class. Going back to Army days, he was a captain and aide-de-camp to Brigadier General George Paine and later on the staff of General MacArthur in Tokyo. He is now director of real estate for Colt Industries, Inc. He has lived in Westchester for 11 years and in the Town of Rye for the past 5 years with his wife, Doris, and two sons, Arthur and John. He is a member of the Rye Town Planning Board and was chairman of the Committee to Attract Business to the Town of Rye.

John Hodel, who was enrolled in the Alumni College during the summer, got double honors from the West Virginia Press Association, receiving a plaque for the best editorial of 1964 and another for the best column. He won the latter award in 1963 as well. John is with the "Raleigh Register." Chuck Frantz of Shavertown, Pa., has two youngsters in college, a son Richard in the freshman class at Colby and a daughter, Melanie, in her second year at Dobbs. Another son of '41, Bole Steffey, is also in the frosh year at Colby.

While on the subject of the doings of some of the class sons and daughters, MaiScott attended the graduation of his daughter Lynette from Bryn Mawr last May. She followed her dad into college admissions work and is presently assistant to the director at Hollins College in Virginia. Time is flying by as we near our 25th Reunion and note that the careers of many of the children of classmates are in the formative stages.

Dick Sexton, a doctor in Providence, R. I., writes that a seventh child has been added to the family, namely, Antonio Lins — an American Field Service boy from Recife, Brazil - who is attending high school with Dick's son, Tom.

Lee Cone is business manager of Gordon College and Gordon Divinity School in Wenham, Mass. After graduating from Dartmouth, Lee studied at the University of Wisconsin, Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, and Gordon Divinity School. And before beginning studies at Gordon in 1958 he was active in the business world and served four years in the Air Force. Lee is married and lives in Hamilton, Mass., with his wife and four children.

The brevity of the notes this month is due to only one reason - lack of news. However, October is normally a month in which many contacts are made and items are stored for future reporting so your class secretary looks happily ahead to the next issue. Don't forget now, make plans for the Big 25th Reunion in Hanover - June 16 through June 19, 1966! Bring Mom and bring the kids! We'll remind you again next month.

Secretary, 121 Meadbrook Rd. Garden City, L. I., N. Y.

Treasurer, Room 2820 525 Wm. Penn Place, Pittsburgh 30, Pa.
