1938

By the time this screed sees the light of day, the executive committee of the Class, together with any other interested members of '38, will have met in Hanover the morning of the Cornell Game to educe a successor to Mallory as Class Agent.

When one considers the amount of time some of the alumni activities take, and Class Agent more than any other, it seems a nearmiracle that willing volunteers can be found. Certainly anyone who has made the vast contribution of time and effort which Mallory has made, deserves the utmost gratitude from the Class as a whole. Overcoming the natural inertia of most people to writing checks requires perseverence, persistence, and perspicacity.

At this time of year we are reminded of the very many members of the Class who are making their contribution in all phases of alumni activity and in all sections of the 50 states. They are the ones who keep Dartmouth going at the grass-roots level as well as the headquarters workers.

1938 can be proud to have four members of the Class serving at the same time on the Alumni Council. From Region I (New England), we have Ed Perrin of Hartford, Conn.; from Region IV (Mid-West) there is Bob Manegold; from Region V (South) comes Bob Jones; and from the Class Presidents' Association, Dawkins.

Turning to Club Officers throughout the nation, we find Jim Bonnyman in Sarasota, Fla.; Dick Morse in Honolulu; Paul Urion in Rochester, N. Y.; Marty King in Cleveland, Ohio; and Gus Hennesey in Montreal, P.Q.

A vital alumni activity, essential to obtaining the finest possible student body (as well as keeping Mr. Blackman et al. happy), is the National Enrollment Committee. The following members of 1938 are in charge of various districts: Bob Hallock, Worcester, Mass.; Frank Donne, Hampshire-Franklin, Mass.; Bill McMurtrie, Central Indiana; Ross Borneman, Northwestern Indiana; and Ralph Van Orsdel, Honolulu.

Typing Bob Manegold's name in the above list, recalls to mind a very delightful lunch fathered by Karl Hill at the Hanover Inn in honor of Bob's visit here in October. Present, as well as Manegold and Hill, were: Charley Tesreau, Ted Hunter, John Scotford, John Rand, Fred Wagner, and Gil Tanis. Charley Tesreau was the only one sans wife, for obvious reasons. There is some idle chatter about having a monthly luncheon in Hanover for the '38'ers in town and the surrounding boondocks.

From the Windy City comes the word on official stationery reading "Office of the Treasurer" that FranReilly has been elevated to that august post in Wilson and Co. Fran has been manager of the real estate and insurance division of the company since 1959. He started with Wilson and Co. in the headquarters law division in 1953, and was transferred to the real estate department as assistant manager in 1956.

Robb E. Kelley, president of three Des Moines insurance companies and chairman of the Industrial Development bureau of the Greater Des Moines Chamber of Commerce, is Business and Industry magazine's Man of the Month (for August, that's how long the dog teams take to get here from lowa - ed.'). Mr. Kelley heads Employers Mutual Casualty Co. EMCASCO Insurance Co. and Employers Life Co. He was 1962 chairman of the United Campaign, is first vice president of the Greater Des Moines Chamber of Commerce and head of the industrial bureau, is a trustee of Drake University and past president of the Conference of Mutual Casualty Companies. A Mason, he is a member of High 12, the consistory at Des Moines.

Not content with being "assailed" (of. New York Times Book Review section, Thursday, Sept. 9, 1965) by Moscow for his book on Russian Law, Hal Berman is sticking his neck out by running for School Committee in Newton, Mass. Professor Berman has served on P.T.A. Councils at the Mason-Rice School and the Weeks Junior High School, and he has spoken at various P.T.A. meetings as well as to special assemblies both of students and of teachers at Weeks. He has also been active for some years in the World Affairs Council of Newton, of which he is now vice-president. In 1962 he was the principal speaker at the annual celebration of United Nations Day held under the auspices of the World Affairs Council of Newton. In addition he is a member of the Friends of the Newton Free Library and of the Newton Fair Housing Practices Committee.

In the neighboring town of Brookline ("wealthy town"), John F. Graham has been elected a senior vice president of Norfolk County Trust Co. John is a certified public accountant and joined the staff of Norfolk County Trust Co. in 1947. He has been the senior loan officer at the bank in charge of all commercial loans. He is a past president of the New England Chapter of the Robert Morris Associates, a director of a number of corporations, and has been active in United Fund work.

For the first time in many, many years, I have received no word from agents dispatched to various stadia in the New England area, except for the Brown Game, which I reported in the November issue of the MAGAZINE. Either the agents partook too freely of the tailgate goodies or else were completely incompetent. I myself took in all of the games this year except Brown and Columbia, but did little better on my own. My apologies to all the faithful who annually get their names in print for attending. No doubt by the time this is published, I shall have noted several people at the Cornell and Princeton fracases. At least I am hoping to get together with Ed Meservey at the New Jersey whing-ding. For all those omitted, consequently, better luck next year.

And to all members of the Class of 1938, their wives, children, and grandchildren, all the best wishes for the holiday season and for the year to come.
