1942
FLAME FANNING — "I am only one; but I am one; I can't do everything, but I can do something. What I can do, that I ought to do; and what I ought to do, that, by the grace of God, I shall do" ... from the Truth About Cuba Committee, this message should remind us refreshingly of the faith we have to keep secure freedom and justice for all....
It takes time to build a class, a college, a nation, a free society, but as we labor m the vineyards, however small they be, we can do our best to advance free institutions. Dartmouth is such an institution and the opportunities afforded great.
Classmates "have been keeping the faith" by helping to till the soil in this vineyard ...and we look forward to the challenge of the 1968 Alumni Fund Drives under new Head Agent John Nauss Jr. of Scarsdale. With the right spirit and nurture, money and toil can have dramatic effects upon the harvest.
A, Alexander Fanelli will "fan the flames" for two key committees planning Dartmouth's bicentennial celebration. As executive secretary, of these committees, the Bicentennial Executive Committee and the "Bi-Cent" Planning Committee, Alex will work with the former, made up of trustees and alumni serving in an advisory capacity; and the latter which is a working group of faculty and administrative officers headed by Frank Smallwood '51, associate professor of government. Alex will continue to serve as special assistant to President Dickey, a post he has held since February. The Bicentennial of Dartmouth's founding will be celebrated in 1969-70, and the Sesquicentennial of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in the Dartmouth College case will be observed in 1969.
THE PHILADELPHIA STORY: Our Class prexy read in this column about George Liskow's recent move to Philadelphia, called him, and has already had two lunches with him. George is happy as Corporate Labor Counsel with Atlantic Richfield Oil in Philly headquarters ... in mid-November the Liskows will move into house in Devon. (Jim O'Mara please note. George would like to make contact.)
Dick Baldwin has written benevolently to offer me a 3 x 5 card file of '42's that was used in putting the 25-year book together, but thanks, Dick, let us take a raincheck ... your secretary is surrounded by 3 x 5's ... virtually enough to completely cover the walls of an eight-room house.
New "Ex-sec" George Hinkley wrote to extend thanks for our expression of appreciation of all his good work in our behalf as a class, and added that he hopes this secretary will be blessed "with overflowing reservoirs of newsworthy tidbits."
THE LIGHTER SIDE - Speaking of "newsworthy tidbits" that Harvard-Dartmouth go-ahead-come-from-behind thing had to be the ultimate. The Crimson must have been green with envy of the manner in which victory was fashioned.
At this reading even the "Winship-engineered" informal class reunion over Cornell weekend is history. By the way, was the reunion or the game "informal"? Word has it that the reuning class group put a "Dent" in Uncle Tom's Cabin (pun intended) on the eve of the Cornell game, from 5-7 p.m. A tip of the hat to Ad and Lip for all the pre-planning which went into this weekend. Was Cornell still licking its wounds after an attack by an "English Boola-dog" or was my imagination faulting my concentration?
TROJAN HORSES —An article in The Troy Record in September pictured Richard E. Bolton of Defreestville, who was appointed counsel to the Division of N. Y. State Police. Dick has been conducting in Albany a private practice specializing in criminal law and trial work. He has also been active with youth and church in Troy for the last 21 years. Dick and Marian know the significance of "My Three Sons" because their names are Richard, Jeffrey, and Peter.
ARIZONA K - 'S - Just received a letter from Martin Kleckner, M.D. written in his best prescription handwriting to TreasurerDick Burns. Martin is specializing in Gastroenterology in Phoenix, Ariz. (Medical Building, 909 E. Brill St.). He is also a consultant for the V.A. Hospital... . The Kleckners are planning to fly in for one of the football games and to show Martin III Dartmouth, as he is registered and would like to enroll in two years.... Calls his wirehaired fox terrier 'The Dartmouth Yankee." Dad said he missed the "25th" because he was undergoing serious eye surgery which has resulted in 100% improvement.... Something in Martin's letter leads me to remind class members that this ALUMNI MAGAZINE is not published in August and September ... first issue is October each year, for ten-month period only. Gladys Kleckner, Martin's wife, is also medically oriented, holding a B.S., R.N., from the University of Minnesota.
PILGRIM'S PROGRESS — The name, Brewster, is figuring in banking circles these days. John D. (Brewster, not Rockefeller) has been promoted to assistant vice president of City Savings Bank of Bridgeport. He graduated from LaGuardia's Academy of Aeronautics and the University of Bridgeport. During WW II he served with the 272nd Infantry Regiment in Europe. He joined the bank in 1950, is a graduate of the Connecticut School for Savings Banking and is enrolled in graduate work in banking at Brown University. He and his wife Mary reside at 81 Skyview Drive, Trumbull, Conn.
Al Dingwall wrote the one-hour documentary shown on September 12 on Philadelphia's ETV Channel 13 entitled "Dartmouth's Hopkins Center." One famous alumnus who saw it commented, "As many times as I've been in Hopkins Center, I learned many things about the place that I never knew before."
GEORGIA PEACHES - Dr. Hank Wood-worth, it is reported by wife Evelyn, has returned to his first love, "country practice" . . . in Rochelle, Ga., a farm and industrial community of 2,000 people.... Hank went there in answer to a TV appeal for a community doctor by the townspeople, leaving his position as Chief, Streptococcus Immunology Laboratory, Communicable Disease Center in Atlanta.
