1930

Newell Rumpf has scored the first major success in our program to arouse class interest on a regional basis. From Chicago comes this interesting report. "After a lapse of many years, a reunion luncheon of Chicago area men from the Illustrious Class of 1930 foregathered at the Chicago Club on January 13. Our honored guest was our hard-working and notable Prexy, Fred Scribner, who was in Chicago attending a 'religious' meeting.

"Bob Chittim provided the laughs by bringing a copy of the 1930 Green Book. Perhaps the most noteworthy change was the loss of hair on the part of most of the brethren in the last 35 years. Had the pictures been full length, the added corpulence would have been equally prominent.

"As advertised, the luncheon was an attempt to bring about a closer relationship among us, and it was quite apparent from the conversation that this is long overdue. Now that we have '30 in Illinois starting to roll again, we can expect a better turnout on the next session. Following is a list of those in attendance: Bob Chittim, regional manager Midwest region Chase Brass & Copper Company; Mickey Emrich, executive vice president Chicago Corporation; Bud Fisher, vice president Folger Adam Company; Max Horwitt, professor of Biological Chemistry at University of Illinois, College of Medicine, Chicago, and director L. B. Mendel Research Laboratory-Elgin State Hospital; Bruce Mackey, president and owner Time Saver Tools, Incorporated; Jackson Moore, Partner-Kirkland, Ellis, Hodson, Chaffetz & Masters; Newell Rumpf, president, Harris Trust and Savings Bank; Fred Schmidt, partner, McDonald, Schmidt, and Baker; Chuck Simmons, self-employed; George Stone, partner, Hill & Stone; Bill Swartchild, president, Swartchild & Company; Dick Zeigler, vice president Pick Hotel Corporation."

Fred Scribner adds that this was the first 1930 activity in the Chicago area in nineteen years and that Fred Schmidt and GeorgeStone have agreed to join us for our Fortieth. And from experience, I can guarantee that Fred's persuasive powers will be extended to include many more of you who have let slide for too long a real opportunity to belong again.

Suburban Trust Company of Washington, D. C., has elected Ed Conklin assistant vice president and investment officer. Ed was formerly vice president of Birely and Company and held positions with Folger Noland and Company and United States Life Insurance Company. He is a retired Army colonel and the father of four. GeorgeFredrickson has been elected a director of Holliston Mills, Inc. in Norwood, Mass. George joined the company in 1922 as a part-time employee, while still in high school. In 1935 he became superintendent of the Norwood plant and was made general superintendent of all plant in 1940. He became general production manager in 1960, the position he presently holds. HaroldSherburne is the New York partner of Bacon, Whipple grid Company, a Chicagobased investment concern. Pierre Heftier is a director of Manufacturers National Bank of Detroit. And Glen Poorman has moved quietly to the top. Always brilliant, he went on to an M.S. degree in Mining Engineering at M.I.T. and then joined Standard of New Jersey. Recently he was elected as the president of Esso International Inc., a worldwide marketing and transportation affiliate of the Standard Oil Company, and chairman of the executive committee of Esso International, which he formerly served as executive vice president. Congratulations, Glen, and please don't miss the next New York get together. If not properly noted previously, Nelson Rockefeller was recipient late last year of the Dartmouth College Alumni Award, a silver bowl and a citation describing him as an "outstanding leader in culture, commerce, international affairs and as Governor of New York." Fittingly, Vic Borella made the presentation as vice president of the Alumni Council.

The 1930 dinner to honor Eddie Jeremiah will be held at the Harvard Club in Boston on the evening of April 4. The Executive Committee will meet at 3:30 and the Class, including wives, will gather for cocktails and dinner at 6:30 P.M. New Englanders will be receiving invitations by mail, but we are counting on many outside the area to schedule their travels in order to be present for this tribute to Jerry.

Fran Horn in late January was reported en route to Saudi Arabia. This news came from Bud French who attended the Clinic for Head Agents in Hanover earlier in the month. Bud is making apple selling secondary from now until June. He reports that in our class there are 52 who have given to the Alumni Fund for 35 consecutive years, 76 in the 30-34-year group, and 58 who have given consecutively for from 25 to 29 years. These regulars are the cornerstone, but goal attainment requires major gifts from many others. Why don't you join the 1930 Regulars in 1966?
