1933

I am sure that many of you have returned from spring vacations. Three vacations that I happen to have heard about - Jan and Carl Rugen spent three weeks on the west coast and in Hawaii; Jean andWalt Douglas were in Trinidad and Jamaica accompanied by their daughter Nancy; and Martha and Gay Milius write from Berlin during their 23-day trip to Paris, Geneva, Rome, Florence, Frankfort, Berlin, Copenhagen. Gay was able to meet many of the "hams" with whom he has spoken in the past. He says Martha "always wanted to see Europe, now she'll never leave the U.S.A."

Ev Shineman has sold his dairy business and is entering on a new career. What is it, Ev? Bob Sands is now with Pepsi Co. International in Mexico City after many years in South America with Superior Oil Company. Dick Jackson, who has been general counsel for Fram Corporation, is now vice president, law, with the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad in Cleveland.

Sid Stoneman has been elected to the National Campaign Cabinet of the United Jewish Appeal. Sid has had many important responsibilities in Jewish philanthropic efforts both in the Boston...area and nationally. The Village Board of Trustees of Kings Point, N.Y., announced that Al Swan was named chairman of the planning board of that community. Al is a member of the law firm of Maggin & Swan in Manhattan. Appearing on a panel at Lake Forest College to discuss "Legislative Problems in Illinois" was State Senator Robert Coulson.

In a letter to Wes, Win Hobbs tells a bit about his family. Son, David '63, is a mechanical engineer at Pratt & Whitney in East Hartford and is studying for a master's. His daughter Dorothy is a senior at Barnard and is looking forward to graduate study. And wife, Emily, has just finished two terms as a village trustee of Scarsdale the last three months of her term having been spent as acting mayor of the town in the absence of the mayor who had a heart attack in Florida. Win has been active in various civic enterprises, the most recent and noteworthy being the founding and launching of the Westchester County United Fund on which Board of Directors he now serves along with Charlie McAllister '31.

One of the most important news releases to come out of Union Carbide Corporation's public relations department, as far as '33 is concerned, reported the happy news that JarvChapman has been appointed Executive Vice President of that firm's Mining and Metals Division. Jarv, who has been with Union Carbide since his first days in the sales department back in 1936, was named a vice president in that division only last year. Earlier he was in the Carbon Products Division, serving as general sales manager, director of marketing, and vice president

Dottie and Jack Manchester, Ginney and I joined a group of about fifty for a Dartmouth Horizons programs just before Easter. Jus and Leigh Stanley had attended the previous session in February and I am sure they were just as enthusiastic about What they saw as we were. A word about this program for those of you who may not be familiar with it. Several times a year the College brings a group of alumni and friends of the College and their wives to Hanover for a weekend to give them some idea of just what the College is doing to keep in the forefront of American education. During a period of forty hours, our group were busy meeting with the top College administrative officers starting with John Dickey and Ort Hicks and spending forty minutes or so with the heads of many departments, the deans of Tuck, Thayer, and the Medical Schools, with Warner Bentley of Hopkins Center and in a final session with John Meek, John Masland, provost of the College, Dean Seymour, Eddie Chamberlain, George Colton, and members of his staff in the Development Office. Although I thought I had a pretty fair idea of what was making Dartmouth tick, this was an insight I wish all of you could have. I assure you Dartmouth is in good hands and those directing her destiny are conscientious, imaginative educators who will certainly do their best to see to it that Dartmouth does not take a back seat to any college. As far as physical plant is concerned, many changes have taken place. Dick Olmstead, college business manager, reported on the construction that already has or is right now taking place - at a total cost exceeding $31 million. Dartmouth is dynamic and we can all take great pride.

Has any of you wondered where JackSmart, Bill Dewey, and John Trost are at the moment and what they and their families have been doing? Jack Smart went on from Dartmouth and studied at Oxford. He and his second wife, Henderika, are living in Roxbury, Conn., where Jack is an associate in the Benham Agency engaged in the real estate business. His daughter, Beverley, is a graduate of Colby Jr. College and married Don Meginley in 1964. He reports an unexciting life in the country with good hunting and fishing and that his one hobby is travel. He has been abroad the past three years and went to Hawaii early this year. On the way he spent two evenings with DonSexias in San Francisco and he reports seeing John Monagan and Hal Mackey occasionally. Nice to hear from you Jack.

Sue and Bill Dewey as most of you already know, live in Queechee, Vt., and Bill is president of A. G. Dewey Co., woolen manufacturers in Enfield, N.H. Sue operates three woolen stores in Vermont and keeps very busy. They have three married daughters and the last I knew, four grandchildren. Bill is town selectman and very active as a member of the board of trustees of the Mary Hitchcock Hospital. And of course he is perennial reunion chairman of the great Class of '33!

Jack Trost went on from Dartmouth to Marquette University where he received his J.D. degree. His wife Rose Marie died many years ago. Their son, Michael, is a graduate of Parsons College in lowa. Jack is personnel manager of the Briggs & Stratton Corporation and lives in Milwaukee. He is a member of various personnel organizations and served on the Glendale, Wis., planning commission.
