1930
Maybe when you read this, Dartmouth will have backed into the Ivy League championship, or at least ended the season in a tie. Whichever, there will be no denying the fact that Dartmouth has contributed to a new era of Eastern college football, a mixture of the best of running and passing that makes pro football appear dull in comparison. This was well demonstrated at Cambridge where a sizeable group of 1930's gathered. It was good to see Frank andMargaret Rath down from Swanzey Center. With Frank Ir., a Phi Bete Harvard graduate, they must have had mixed feelings on the outcome of the game. Frank Ryder joined us to watch the morning rugby game with Harvard. Alan '68 is playing on the A team, and Eleanor and I have learned that like skiing, rugby is a way of life and as the Rugby Club brochure explains a form of "organized mayhem." Dot Ryder, by the way, is probably one of the few 1930 wives who single sculls on the Charles River. After the game we dined with Budand Celie French and Ray and Sally Raymond Locke of Watertown who are now parents of our second grandchild and first granddaughter, Dana Page. Wayne French is married, living in Verona, N. J., working for Bankers Trust, and he and Joan have a son. Dave has completed his Navy service and is working for American Foreign Insurance Association in New York.
In connection with alumni fund activity last spring, Bud had a nice note from Lucille Lewin who reports that son Read wants to enter medical school and that both Martha and Donna Mae are fine. Annabel Day wrote of Dud's strong affection for Dartmouth, and Marjorie Crosier, who is living in Norfolk, spoke of Bud's pleasant meeting with her daughter Connie (Mrs. Ronald Gibson) when he was in Norfolk with the baseball team last spring. Eleanor Howe is proud that her son William Henry was graduated cum laude from Dartmouth in June. Bud also heard from Dave McCloud, attorney at law in St. Paul, who promised to bring us up-to-date shortly on his situation.
Not all timely news, but good nevertheless. Peter Lent '63, doing graduate work at Johns Hopkins, is engaged to Marjorie Stearns, Smith '64. Her father is professor of civil engineering at Thayer. Parents Deane and Rachael Lent live in Cohasset, and Deane is teaching at MIT. Martha Sander was married in June to Ensign Stephen Martin in Durham where she is in her senior year at the University of New Hampshire. Mary Van Leer Hancourt was married in May to Michael C. Behnke. Mary attended Smith College and her husband is an Amherst graduate. The Joe Hancourts live in Wellesley and Joe is manager of the Investment Advisory Division of Brown Brothers, Harriman in Boston.
Jack and Dorothy Rich, after many years in Cambridge, have moved to 9 West Hill Place in Boston which by the way bears little physical resemblance to the 1930 city of our memories. Bob Hooker, who has moved about many times in his profession of hotel, motel, and club host, is now general manager of Kernwood Country Club in Salem, Mass. Jack Richard is now in South Dennis on the Cape where he is proprietor of Richard Supply Company. WadeSafford is assistant rector of Truro Episcopal Church in Fairfax, Va. Hank Odbert serves as Director for Psychobiology, National Science Foundation at Berkeley. Colonel Kel Clow (ret.) is related to Tongue Point Job Corps Center at Astoria, Ore., and Lt. Colonel Clark Denney is stationed at Andrews AFB, Washington. Bob Ryan last May was appointed by Governor Hoff as chairman of the Vermont Liquor Control Board. A director and vice president of the Chittenden Trust Company in Montpelier, Bob is a past president of the State Bankers Association and the Vermont Bar Association. Pat Weaver, who resigned from Subscription Television, Inc. last April, will on January 1 join Wells, Rich, Greene Inc., a New York advertising agency. Presumably Pat's specialty will be television. He is currently executive producer of the Garry Moore show and is expected to continue in that position.
Congratulations to Nelson on his smashing victory in the New York election. In his eight years as governor he has demonstrated great courage and leadership in the matters of state finances, medical assistance, water and air pollution, transportation, and park and land preservation. We are proud of his accomplishments and look forward to seeing him and Happy more frequently at 1930 affairs now that the campaign is done.
The 1930 executive committee and class dinner to honor members of the Class who have devoted their lives to secondary education, will be held at the Harvard Club in Boson on Friday, April 7. We expect to carry the meeting over to Saturday to give us a chance to discuss more thoroughly 1930 plans for the next few years.
Holiday greetings to all of you and a healthful 1967!
