1930

There have always been highlights in each year of 1930's history. For this year, events included the 35th reunion, the informal reunion at Hanover in the fall, and the New York meeting in December. Perhaps we didn't realize it, but these were only preliminaries to the Boston climax in early April when the Executive Committee, 31 strong, old and new, met at the Harvard Club, and when 110 classmates and friends of Eddie Jeremiah's met at dinner to honor him and Timmie. This was it, and those who were there will never forget it.

At the afternoon E.C. meeting, BudFrench reported gifts of $16,577 towards our Alumni Fund goal of $51,940, with 32 increases recorded. The Class has contributed $600 to Hopkins Center in sponsorship of the Latin American art shows held there in April. Bob Keene reported on the Princeton game reunion in Hanover on October 8, with Woodstock Inn as headquarters. Executive Committee meeting at the Inn at 3:30 on Friday afternoon. All 1930's who are in the area are invited for cocktails at the JohnFrenches' Friday evening. Then Saturday lunch at the Bema and a class dinner at Woodstock Inn that night. Seek your own reservations, but move quickly - it's going to be a popular weekend.

Continuing his program of dictatorship by committee, Fred Scribner formed and staffed committees: (1) to consider a 40th reunion book and new class directory, Blakey (chairman), Horn, Browning, Cole, and Dickerson; (2) to study a class award program, Brazil (chairman), Clark, King, Browning, Perkins, and Wiggins; (3) to expand the involvement of wives and friends of 1930, Sturman (chairman), Johnson, Pratt, and Condon; (4) to study future informal reunion plans, Rauch (chairman), Godwin, Rich, Keene, and Alcorn. The geographical organization of the Class is progressing and a full report of the regional and state chairmen will appear in a later column.

Although it was a dinner to honor Jerry, and this was well handled by Haffenreffer, McGrath, Dickerson, roommate McDonough, and Ernie Roberts, former Dartmouth director of sports information, we suddenly discovered that Jerry was honoring Dartmouth and 1930 for contributing to his success and happiness. With him we walked down Memory Lane as he reviewed 40 years of membership in his special 4H Club; Harmon (who encouraged him to go to Dartmouth), Hockey, Hanover, and Happiness. John Dickey's greeting called this a "shining hour," and we will all remember Jerry's command to his hockey troops, "Look up, keep fighting." Fred Scribner presented Jerry with a 1930 Bowl award. It was a wonderful affair.

As a by-product of messages from many who would have liked to be there, there is some news. Much of it has to do with travel: The Rauchs at the Homestead; Herband Marjorie Chase and Jack and EdithFitzpatrick in Sarasota; the Bert Crandalls in Eleuthera; the Poolers in Boca Raton; Pete Callaway just returned from Australia and India; the Kohns in Mexico, and the VanDerbecks in Florida.

Win Stone has just been reelected to the board of directors of the American Council of Learned Societies and to the executive committee of the U.S. National Commission for UNESCO. Collier Young insists he will make a 1930 meeting "one of these years if ever I get away from this fiendish TV business." Rannie Hobbs reports a first grandchild, son of Ranny and Kate who live in Washington. Charlie McDonough, who has been assistant district attorney in New York, has recently been elevated to the position of assistant attorney general.

Bill Truex Jr. is an architect in San Juan, and Bill and Alberta have made several trips to Puerto Rico to visit with him and his wife and son. John King '63 is teaching and coaching at Lawrenceville Academy and Nancy is a senior at Smith.

Burt Sherwood has been elected vice president and trust officer at Seaboard Citizens National Bank of Virginia in Norfolk. He joined the bank in 1959 after 22 years in the life insurance field. Fred Scribner is clerk of The Newcomen Society in North America, which is chartered for the study of business, industrial, and institutional history.

The Nelson Rockefellers crowned Monique Bolden as queen of the Le Bal des Fleurs and the Governor welcomed Mrs. Gandhi, India's Prime Minister, on the occasion of her recent visit to New York.

And the news from Hanover transmitted by Al Dickerson is that "the sap is running in the maples."

More than a hundred classmates, wives and friends gathered at the Harvard Club,Boston, on April 4 for a 1930 dinner honoring Eddie Jeremiah '30, who retires nextseason as Dartmouth hockey coach. At the head table (I to r) are Timmie Jeremiah,Eddie, toastmaster Les Godwin '3O, and class chairman Fred Scribner '3O.
