1938
Of prime importance to the Class is the acceptance by Marty King of the onerous and vital position of Head Class Agent. Dawk spent a great deal of time canvassing the possibilities for the job and is, naturally, overjoyed that Marty will take on the responsibility. At the same time, Dawk has appointed Ham Mitchell as a new member of the executive committee.
Ham has been named Chief Executive Officer of The Reuben H. Donnelley Corporation whose headquar- ters are in New York. He continues as President of Donnelley, a position to which he was elected in 1961. He is also a director of Donnelley and its parent company, Dun & Bradstreet, Inc., a trustee of the National Recreation and Park Association, and a member of the Transportation and Communications Committee of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce. The Mitchells and their two younger sons have lived on North Manursing Island, Rye, N. Y., since 1962.
Another man of note is Morgan C. Marshall, appointed vice-president, marketing, of H. A. Johnson Company of Boston. Morgan joined the company in 1953 as sales promotion manager after an extensive background in the wholesale food and bakery field. He also served as sales manager and in March, 1963 was named marketing manager. In his present role he has complete responsibility for sales and service of the bakery, soda fountain, institutional, and equipment divisions. Morgan went to Harvard B. School after Dartmouth and served in the U. S. Navy Supply Corps during the war .
Some of the front-page news in the Valley News of West Lebanon, N. H., has recently been concerned with the attempts of the Busted & Maimed Railroade, through its New Hampshire attorney, John Nassikas, to abandon passenger service in New England. I talked with John on the telephone recently and found that he is on the road constantly with hearings in such places as White River, Brattleboro, Montpelier, etc.
It is a pleasure to report that that paragon of the law and partner in the firm of Cotton, Tesreau, and Stebbins of Lebanon and Hanover, N. H., Charley Tesreau is not wasting away. Although he must be doing all the law work in the firm, since the others are up to their necks in politics, Charley appears to be bearing up very well under the strain.
Speaking of the political scene, and now seems to be a good time to do so, BeldenBly is reported in the Shoppers' News of Lynnfield, Mass. (circ. 4,600) to be considering trying for the post of Lieutenant Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, — that is, if the present incumbent runs for Attorney General. In the 1964 elections, Bly received more votes than any other candidate for Representative in the entire state, even in a district which is relatively smaller than most others.
Bly is now serving his 9th term in the House of Representatives, and, during this time, has devoted much of his attention to problems relating to education. He has served as Chairman of the House Committee on Education and was the bi-partisan choice to the legislature's Conference on Education.
Bly's own education includes Harvard, Boston University, Northeastern, and the University of Colorado. He holds the A.8., LL.B., and Ed.M. Degrees. A practicing attorney, he has been a law teacher for the last 20 years and was a recent winner of a National Science Foundation Award in Bacteriology at the University of Colorado.
In New York City, Gerald H. Ullman is a contender for the City Council seat of one Theodore R. Kupferman. Gerry ran an un- successful campaign for the Assembly in 1960 in Greenwich Village, running as a Republican.

'The Veterans' Administration's Role in Today's Society" was the topic of a talk to the Kiwanis Club by Charles T. Sweeny, Chief Contact Officer of the Veterans Administration. Where?,— I don't know, the clipping doesn't say. Charley is a veteran of the 26th Infantry Division (YD). He is a member of the Quincy School Committee; past Chairman of the Quincy Park and Recreation Board; President of the Massachusetts Association of School Committees; and Board of Directors of the Quincy United Fund; and is the father of seven children.
"A leading United States expert on Soviet Law suggested yesterday that the trial of two Russian writers might, in fact, have established the principle of judicial protection for political suspects in the Soviet Union," so is quoted Harold Berman by the New York Times. Hal pointed out that, for the first time, defendants were not forced to plead guilty and, as a matter of fact, were allowed to have a vigorous defense.
Chuck Bullock, denizen of Tulsa, Okla., reports himself as running one of the smaller companies in that area as a manufacturer's representative. He has been in Tulsa for 12 years now and has just recently remarried (last May) "after having been a bachelor for a few years."
From Assonet, Mass. (wherever that is, - it's somewhere near Taunton), HowieMoulton reports that he has bought a business in Raynham and is now trying to rent his Cape Cod house in Harwich for the summer of 1966 (advt.). He is presently living in a trailer in Berkeley, next to the Myricks R. R. station with a Taunton phone and an Assonet Post Office. How compliated can you get?
Elsewhere will be found the sad nows of the death of Hank Molloy Jr.; it came as a complete shock to most of us and all will be saddened by his loss.
