Our first words as author of this column are in violation of the rules set down by the editor. Do not ramble, do not rue the lack of news. We will break the rules this once, attributing rambling to our newness at the job and solicitation for news justifiable as the life blood of this column. You as the source of this life blood are asked to write and let us know what you are doing, whom in the class you are seeing, and to share your happenings with your classmates who are truly interested.
Dave Squire has been appointed senior advisor on economic and social affairs to the United States Mission to the United Nations. His first assignment in the new post was to the Geneva meeting of the Economic and Social Council this past July. A large part of Dave's work will be in the social area dealing with human rights, population control, narcotics, education and housing. Dave is a man who uses time well and in addition to these new duties, will continue as a member of the Stamford Urban Redevelopment Commission, the Connecticut State Board of planned parenthood association, and as a national trustee of the NAACP Special Fund.
Roy Murray has been appointed vicepresident-corporate marketing for Data Control Systems, Inc., manufacturer of research instrument components and systems. When we saw Roy at the reunion he was already house hunting in Fairfield County and imagine by this time he has moved his family from Florida to that area.
Walt Peterson, speaker of the house of the New Hampshire Legislature, was recently guest of honor at a "Meet Your Speaker of the House Night" in Nashua, N. H. In addition to his prominent political activities Walt is a trustee of the New Hampton School.
Roland M. Routhier has been appointed assistant to the President of Texaco, Inc. Roland had been living in Brussels as assistant to the President of Texaco Europe Ltd. and by this time has been transferred to the New York offices to take up his new duties. We hope New York won't be too dull for Roland who has served among other places in Angola, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Morocco, Rome, and Brussels.
Robert E. Mulligan has announced the formation of his own business, REMCO Associates, a management consulting organization offering programs to business, government, and institutions. Another busy class member, Bob is on the faculty of the management department of the Fordham University School of Business Administration and also serves as a labor arbitrator for the New Jersey State Board of Mediation. Bob lives in Staten Island with his wife Pat and their two children. Congratulations and good luck in your new venture.
John B. Wilson has been elected president and chief executive officer of the Phillips Screw Company. John, who for the past year and a half had been president and chief officer of Kelox Industries Inc., will continue to hold this presidency in addition to his new duties. The Phillips Screw Company developed and introduced the famous head screw and the company is listed on the American Stock Exchange. John lives with his wife Barbara and their four children at 213 Old Connecticut Path, Wayland, Mass., where he has been a member of the Wayland School Committee since 1960 and active on the School Building Committee for the last ten years.
George J. Ferrarese has been elected assistant treasurer of General Motors. George joined General Motors as a member of the Corporation's financial staff in New York in June 1948 and after serving in various capacities was appointed director of financial analysis in November of 1957. It is from that position that he is now moving up as assistant treasurer (this is not an invitation to complain to George about your Chevrolet).
John T. Gray has been named associate marketing director of Corn Products' Best Foods Division with product responsibility for Karo syrups, Knorr soups, Rit tints and dyes, and Shinola shoe polish. John, his wife, and their four children live at 920 Pelhamdale Avenue, Pelham Manor, N. Y. Congratulations to all of these men on their progress and advancement. Your classmates share with you the feelings of accomplishment and satisfaction.
A few notes from Townes Harris regarding our class results in the 1967 Alumni Drive. Townes points out that the $22,862.93 that we gave was a new record for our class - 107.2% of our goal and $5,681.27 more than was given last year. Unfortunately despite the dollar amount, the number of contributors was off from 420 to 410. Townes, who has now retired after years of grueling service, well deserves the thanks of the class and we are sure he knows he has it.
Our new class president, Ed Senghas, in accordance with the class constitution and the directions of the class at the last reunion meeting is busy expanding the executive committee with the appointment of additional members and regional chairmen. Ed also mentions that tentative arrangements have been made to hold a meeting of the executive committee on Saturday morning, October 28 in Cambridge, Mass. We are sure you realize that this is no accident as it is the day of the Harvard game; more details on this and any social arrangements that can be made will be forthcoming.
Without any list in front of us but just from information picked up at the reunion, we understand that Al Goldstein and LesCorelitz both have sons entering the Class of 1971. We are sure there must be others, so please let us know. It certainly must be great to have another excuse (legitimate excuse) to visit Hanover.
The Armonk Tennis Club in Armonk, N. Y., was the scene of an informal mixed doubles tournament. Hosts were Sally andAlan Epstein and among the guests were, Joan and Al Bildner, Claire and Larry Goodman, Abby and Bob Kirsch, Paula and MelNelson, Gail and Gene Bokor '46.
As you read this the football season will have been under way and a few results already known. We look forward to seeing many '47 s at the various games and hopefully we'll all be singing "Touchdown Dartmouth" over and over again throughout the fall.
