1938
The Hanover Plain was graced, during the past month, with two distinguished visitors in the persons of Ed White and BlissThome.
Big Ed, leading thespian of Wayland, Mass., via H. P. Hood Co., was in town for the purpose of having his son, Ted, interviewed at the Admissions Office. Ted is a senior at Hebron and a good enough swimmer to have phone calls coming in from New Haven, of all places. To complete the picture of Big Ed's activities, I personally observed him making several rather injudicious wagers on various losing football teams on New Year's Day.
Ted Thome was in town to see me - prominent author ("The Hump") and bon vivant (The Hanover Inn). As reported elsewhere, Ted's book is evidently being well-received; I have read several favorable re- views among the clippings sent to me by the College, as well as that in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE last month by Ellis Briggs '21.
One of my favorite newspapers must have to be the Wayland (Mass.) Town Crier, circulation 3,556. A recent issue contains an account of the appointment of JimKingery as vice president in charge of the Central Services Division of W. R. Grace & Co.'s Dewey and Almy Chemical Division in Cambridge. After Dartmouth, Jim received a diploma in Business Administration from Babson Institute.
Another leading publication in the great Commonwealth of Massachusetts is the Weymouth Independent (circ. 4,000). This great organ of public opinion reports that John F. Graham has been elected a senior vice president of the Norfolk County Trust Company. Mr. Graham, after Dartmouth, attended the Bentley College of Accounting and Finance and Stonier Graduate School of Banking. He is a certified public accountant and joined the staff of Norfolk County Trust Company 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.
Charles W. Wycoff, senior scientist at EG&G, Inc., Boston and Bedford, has been awarded the E. I. duPont Gold Medal for 1965 by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers. The award was made to him for his many contributions to the science and technology of high-speed photography and photo-instrumentation.
Charley has worked on an Xenon-flash sensitometer . for measuring film sensitivity, a new color print process, a unique background projection system, and a Shockwave recording method that was used extensively by EG&G and the Atomic Energy Commission in the study and analysis of atmospheric nuclear weapons detonation tests prior to the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty — if all of that means much to the average layman!
The Children's Hospital in Baltimore announces the election of Julie Westheimer to its board of trustees. Julie is a general partner in Baker, Watts and Company. He is presently a member of the board of trustees of Temple Oheb Shalom, member of the executive committees of the American Cancer Society and the United Nations Association of Maryland.
One who was with us only part of freshman year and then wound up at Wesleyan was Milo Peck, now elected to a third term as Mayor of Windsor, Conn. In addition, he is starting his sixth term as a member of the Town Council.
In Framingham, Mass., according to the "News" (circ. 15,205), Stearns MacNutt has been elected to the Board of the Salvation Army in that town. Another interest of his is that he is one of the Founders of the Nobscot Power Squadron. Stearns lives in Ashland.
Two members of the Class made the newspapers by virtue of appearing on the rostrum during the past month. In Watertown, Conn., Joe Stein, prominent architect spoke at the Taft School. In addition, an exhibit of his buildings was on display at the school; these include the Silas Bronson Library and the Waterbury Club. The library won awards of merit from the AIA and the American Library Association, and the Waterbury Club won an award from "Institutions" Magazine and from the Connecticut Building Congress in 1965.
Getting up before dawn, Ernie Hartung, twelfth president of the University of Idaho in Moscow, addressed the "early bird breakfast" meeting of the Greater Boise Chamber of Commerce, at 7:30 in the a.m.
A brief note from Joe Fogarty of Dominick & Fogarty, Newburgh, N. Y., notes that his ex-roomie, Sam Caldwell, is a lousy correspondent; he has written him after five years and hadn't gotten an answer in two weeks. As far as this respondent is concerned, the same observation could be made about a goodly number of '38's, judging from the lack of material for this column month after month.
Jerrold R. Golding '37, President of Essex House in New York City, the siteof the Lambert Trophy award presentation, had this Dartmouth flag flown onthe day the award was formally made.
