1932

Predictions in early November: No. 1. The football team will win the Ivy League title by beating Princeton in a come-frombehind effort on Nov. 20. I will see many of you, and several (et ux) will come to our room at the Nassau Inn for appropriate celebration. (Crow - Old or fried - will be consumed in proper recognition of this prediction.)

No. 2. The kids in ABC '65 have attained a proportionately greater upward bound due to their short Hanover participation than the football squad as a result of its team-game- participation. (If this is obtuse or questionable, let me know and I'll write you a half-column on the problem of the human residue resulting from parts of Ferry's Triple Revolution.)

Prediction No. 2 results, in part, from hearing Dean Dey '52 talk to the Washington alumni on ABC. Jack McRae, MikeCardozo, and Ben Burch were there, all looking well. The luncheon was good, in the plush atmosphere of the Madison Hotel, while we heard about the poor, disadvantaged youth being so well improved. As Boothbrace observed, after he sneaked in from the bar, "I wonder what all the poor people are doing."

From Washington University in St. Louis has come word of more academic honors for Al Levi, who has been philosophy professor there since 1952. Al has been named the first David May Distinguished University Professor in the Humanities. The new chair is one of two established anonymously in honor of Rosa and David May, grandparents of Morton D. May '36, president of the May Department Stores Company, St. Louis.

Before going to Washington University, Al was on the faculties at Dartmouth, Chicago, where he took his advanced degrees, and Black Mountain College. The author of a half-dozen books, he was the first recipient of the Phi Beta Kappa Award in History, Philosophy, and Religion for his 1959 book, "Philosophy and the Modern World."

Oscar Noyes has been appointed manager of the Andover Companies' newly-established northern New England insurance department, operating out of Cape Elizabeth, Me.

Dr. Charles E. Odegaard was appropriately commended in a full-page spread in the education section of "Time" dated November 5, for his rebuilding of the University of Washington since he took over as president in 1958. He walked "into a mess" and has done "a terrific job revitalizing this place" - to quote but briefly. Oddly missing from such a story were the facts that Charlie was a Phi Bete in the Class of '32 at Dartmouth, and that he holds graduate degrees from Harvard, Lawrence, and Miami U. (according to my records). At first, I wanted to write "Time," then decided that the world didn't need to know, as long as we know. Our congratulations, Charlie, for a job well done, as well as for recognition by the establishment.

Albert Zinggeler has been named vice president in charge of the Automation Papers Co. of Neward, a new division of Lawrence Packaging Supply Corp. Reg Abbott was recently appointed director of public relations and advertising of the New Hampshire Insurance Company in Manchester. Harold Chinlund was elected to the governing Council of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants at the Institute's 78th annual meeting in September. A partner in Lybrand, Ross Brothers and Montgomery, Harold is a past president of the Maryland Association of CPAs, a board member of the Baltimore YMCA and treasurer of the Maryland Association for Children with Learning Disabilities.

Marv Chandler, president of Northern Illinois Gas Co., was presented with the American Gas Association's Distinguished Service Award at its annual convention in October. This award is given to those who have made "individual contributions of a distinguished or outstanding character in the general interest of the gas industry." Coincidentally, Marv recently reported that "Carmen and I got our second son married on August 21, and then took off for a cruise to the Mediterranean, Majorca, and two weeks in Ireland. ... Those Irish golf courses are something - challenging. ... We are truly blessed - a couple of grand sons, even if one did go to Princeton (magna cum), two delightful daughters-in- law, a charming 1%-year-old granddaughter, and a job I love. ..."

I will honor Charley Boak's request and not "print" what he sent me on a card; but you might like to know that he's alive and thinking. Ev Hokanson writes from Milwaukee, wondering why he can't read about '32 only in one piece, then recognizes the ALUMNI MAG'S need to limit these columns to items of more general interest.

Warren Moore reports a coincidence: "Hazen, Jack Hall and I each gave away daughters on the same day - Sept. 11. I now have two daughters married, one grandson, two daughters at home, and my only son is a second classman (junior to you) at Annapolis."

Frank (Pete) Power says that he has been with Kodak 30 years, and that he and Helen have been married 31 years. (Pete: did you get married without having the job?) He continues: "Our son Stephen graduated from Dartmouth in '61, worked a year in New York City as a banker, then went to O.C.S. and spent his 3 years in the Navy and is now back in Hanover at Tuck School."

Doc Ralph Littwin, chief radiologist at Bristol (Conn.) Hospital, recently attended the International Congress of Radiology in Rome. He then spent several weeks in Switzerland, Belgium, and England. Joe Byram showed his continuing good taste by taking wife Nancy and daughter Liz to Vermont for a vacation in August. On the shores of Lake Champlain, he bumped into MorryHubbard and his wife, son and daughter.

Dan Kraft says succinctly: "Two daughters have recently graduated from college while two sons are still in (seniors). One son has been in the Navy and is now in the printing industry. Another is in the Navy while one is a technical school senior. My wife Florence (UVM '36) is a public school teacher. I am a social work supervisor in Conn. State Welfare Dept." Tell me, Dan how many are going to St. Kraft's?

Ben Burch tells us a lot: "Have taken up tennis at an advanced age and played briefly in a tournament this summer at Northeast Harbor, Me. See Judge Carl McGowan occasionally on the courts. Ed Marks and Margaret gave a farewell party in Georgetown for Bill Brister and his bride prior to their departure for Bolivia. Don McPhail was among those present."

I can report with confidence that WhipWalser was home at Hollywood, Fla., on October 4, because he sent me a kind card on that date. Maybe you can appreciate his ending remark: "See you at next reunion in ESCROW!"

Speck Macy wants to see anyone who comes to Concord, N. H., where, since April '64, he has been administrative assistant to the N. H. Commissioner of Labor. He has been concerned mostly with setting up and programming data processing systems. (Side thought: I hope all the Hanover men are getting exposed to EDP, along with Great Issues, etc. They need to know.)

Joe Fanelli modestly opines: "As Carlyle said, 'Happy are the people the reading of whose annals is tiresome.' So it is with the Fanellis. Mary and I are well, happy, and busy. One daughter is happily married and now coordinating Girl Scout activities in six or seven counties in Indiana. One son and one daughter still at college."

If I remember correctly, we were told at our 25th reunion that we had passed our peak and that we would be sliding quietly toward our retirement. I suggest - eight years later - that there's a lot of action left. We are all aware of the possibility of the sudden cut-off - like a Chuck Riley of the peak action. But we also recognize the quiet effectiveness of many who have not recently been elected to something and live on. And many are still being elected to something.

How about sending me personal definitions of success not related to income or titles?

Honored dais guests at the 45th annual dinner of the Investment Bankers Associationof America New York Group, included (l to r) William H. Morton '32, GeorgeChampion '26, Earl H. Blaik, Robert R. Krumm '43, and Sumner B. Emerson '17.Harry A. Jacobs Jr. '42 was also on the dais but missed the picture-taking.
