1930

The trend in all areas today is towards early recognition of the holiday season, and the MAGAZINE is no exception because of its requirements for a four-week composition period. So it is that in preparing these notes in early November, I will open with a hearty Merry Christmas and Happy 1966 to the members of 1930. Among the resolutions we expect you to make is one that will lead you to more active involvement m Class affairs which to so many of us already is a fact and a great joy.

In the business news. Nels Flanders, vice president finance of Amerace Corporation, was a recent speaker at the annual convention of the National Association of Investment Clubs in Cleveland. Pat Weaver is one of the organizers and president of a new television network to be known as Prime Network Inc. which will operate on Sunday nights only, through fifteen independent stations in major cities. Operations expected to begin in mid 1966. Fred Page, vice president of Broad Street Investing Company, made the news again in pointing out that mutual fund shares are not just for the small investor. Bob Johnson is back m New Hampshire after a long stay in Kentucky, living in Concord and serving as engineer, New Hampshire Water Pollution Commission.

Our sympathy goes to Fred Bowes Jr. whose father died recently. Mr. Bowes was a member of the management of Pitney- Bowes since 1922, retiring in 1945. Vic Borella is chairman of the executive committee of The American Arbitration Association whose members are being used more and more for out of court settlement of labor, commercial, and casualty disputes. Not business perhaps, but Carol Haffenreffer has been elected as vice president of The Rhode Island School of Design, having served as a trustee since 1959. Dick Squire is completely absorbed in administrative work at Summit (N. J.) Hospital, after _ a lifetime of retailing experience. Dick Jr. is attending Florida Southern College. Chriss Chrissinger has moved from California to Apt. A 128, 7505 Democracy Boulevard, Bethesda, Md., to work with TRW/Systems, formerly Space Technology Laboratories of Thompson-Ramo-Woolridge, in support of the Navy ASW Program. More of his family situation will appear in Fran Horn's newsletter.

Bill Milne's Bill Jr. will be out of the Army in December and will return to engineering studies at the University of Pennsylvania. Jack Rich reports the marriage of Cynthia to Charles A. Bonnes Jr. This is a Mount Holyoke-Dartmouth combination strengthened by way of an M.A. and LL.B. at Yale. Nancy Rich Coolidge is living in Beverly and has provided Dot and Jack with their first grandchild, David. Doc Harris' family is large and interesting. Joseph is a space technology physicist, Ethelyn married to Herbert Jacobs '54 an Atlantic City judge; Oscar Jr. a Howard University graduate; Mark still in high school; and Joy Anne who reuned with us in June, a student at Friends School, to say nothing of an adopted son Arthur Lee '50, a doctor in Atlantic City. All this and eleven grand-children keep Elveta and Doc thinking young. Chip Raymond will marry Jo Ann Strauss of Darien in December. Both are at Syracuse University. Dick and GwenBowlen's Martha is enrolled at American International College in Springfield.

On the political front, Nelson Rockefeller, in the news daily; welcomed Pope Paul, helped break ground for Fordham's major addition to its Lincoln Center campus, and described the Lindsay election as "a hell of a victory" which for the inept in discerning political overtones, leaves some unanswered questions.

On the football front, an exciting team has produced some exciting games. At Harvard, Ed Butterworth commandeered a choice parking area for the Class, and those seen at the tailgate party or game were, Frederickson, Dresser, Barnard, Leahy, Rich, Condon, Fletcher, Parker, Ryder, Lowery, Chase, Scribner, Hancort, Butterworth, Haffenreffer, Hal and Roly Booma, Marsters, Lillard, McFarland, Ekstrom, and Godwin. It has been good to have Les Godwin's General Oil Company of Medford as a sponsor of radio broadcasts of Dartmouth games. And it was pleasant to have Babs Allyn and Liz Doherty join us for the Harvard game.

Add to this the Yale Bowl contingent, and you have some measure of the aroused interest in 1930 affairs which Fred Scribner and his staff are attempting to generate. Filling the Bowl up were Ackley, Bowes, Bob Blanchard, McFarland, Frenches, J. and G. W., Browning, Rip Vogt, Fisk, Rauch, Blakey, Butterfield, Pratt, Orbanowski, Morrill, Borella, Covell, Chase, Stayman, Hillson, Blais, Buhler, Shaw Cole, and Wasmer.
