1933
My research associates are fallible! In naming the Hanover area '33 contingent, I first noted that I had skipped Branch. Then I realized that Gamble's name was not included. And now I find that I skipped Cutting Johnson who is at Thayer School. But the nice thing about all these goofs is that no one got mad and no one even pointed out my omissions! Maybe no one reads these notes. I apologize, Cutting. And let that be another lesson to me to not make lists unless triple checked. And having said that, I hasten to give you a list - but this one was furnished me by Wes so he'll have to take any responsibility. Those '33ers who attended the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Boston meeting in February were: Jan and Wes Beattie, Babe and Bob Fox, Hope and Ed Halligan, Marion and Hal Henchey, Mel Hershenson, Clif Johnson, Whit Kimball, Dolly and Arch Lade, Charline and John Scanlon, Miriam and Sid Stoneman, Mary and Jim Walker, and Bob Mitchell. Wes says this was a great evening and he's only sorry all '33ers in the Boston area did not attend. How about next year?
I had nice chats the other day with Dumps MacCarty and George Drowne down at Mary Hitchcock. More about them in next month's notes. A change of address has come through on Jus Stanley showing he is now associated with Mayer, Friedlich, Spiess, Tierney, Brown & Piatt in Chicago. (I'm glad I don't have to answer the telephone there!)
John Meek III has been doing a great job this winter with the varsity skiers placing well up in every meet and contributing greatly to the success of the team. If you have read the sport section of this MAGAZINE you will have seen that they won four straight carnival meets this winter and were the most successful varsity winter sports team. John is a senior so, unfortunately, the team will have to go on without him next year.
On her election as president of the executive board of the Long Island Jewish Hospitals' Women's Service Guild a nice tribute to Mrs. Melville Katz (Ruth to all of us) appeared in the Nassau Herald. The article tells of her tireless efforts in behalf of many charitable agencies.
As reported by Bob Fox in the Newsletter Walter Watson is now with Burgess & Leith stockbrokers in Boston. He had been vice president of Putnam Fund Distributors, Inc.
A few thumbnail sketches of classmates that you may or may not have seen or heard about lately: Jack Wright is a highly esteemed member of Hitchcock Clinic where he specializes in the practice of internal medicine. He also spends some of his time as an assistant professor at the Dartmouth Medical School. He is a past president of the Northeast Medical Association, of the New England Diabetes Association and of the New Hampshire Medical Society. At one time he was a Hanover selectman. He has curtailed his outside activities in order to have more time for his family and himself. Madge and Jack took a trip to Hawaii last fall. He said the first two weeks were great but then he couldn't wait to get back to the shop. Jack Jr. graduated from Williams in '5B and from Harvard Law in '61 and married the Jack Manehesters' daughter Martha. Nancy Wright is a graduate of Bennett Junior College '63 and Boston University '66. She is married to John Howard. So far as I know there is one Wright grandchild.
Lee Sanborn is superintendant of the New York State School for the Blind in Batavia, N. Y. After leaving Dartmouth, Lee took his master's at Syracuse and has taken other courses at Columbia, Cornell, and St. Bonaventure. He is past president of the New York State Association of Secondary School Administrators and is chairman of the Publications Committee of the American Association of Instructors for the Blind. He has been very active in his community as a past president of Rotary and the Salvation Army Advisory Board. He is president of the Genesee County United Fund and has chaired the building committee and the pastoral relations committee of his church. Agnes and Lee have three daughters. Barbara is now Mrs. Frederick Williams. She is a graduate of State University at Potsdam and is now teaching in Webster, N. Y. Susan is a junior at Elmira College and Betsy is at West No. Hingham Academy in Colora, Md.
Christine and Yin Young live in Concord, Tenn., and Vin practices medicine in Knoxville. He reports that he belongs to the "usual medical societies."
The activities of our Bequest Chairman, Wood Foster, are legion. He makes a living as a partner in the law firm of Oppeaheimer Hodgson, Brown, Wolff & Leach in St. Paul. (He took his law degree at the University of Minnesota.) He is either a board member or a board member and officer of the St. Paul Chapter American Red Cross, Camp Widjiwagan Branch of St. Paul Y.M.C.A., Theatre St. Paul, St. Paui Council of Arts & Science. He is active in United Fund annual campaigns. He is a former board member of Riverview Memorial Hospital, St. Paul Society of the Blind, Dartmouth Alumni Association of Northwest. Wood and Elizabeth and their four boys and one girl have been avid skiers and they are the proud owners of a lovely lodge where they spend a great deal of time, summer and winters. Son, Henry '61, is married and working for his master's at Middlebury during the summers. Son Wood Jr. is also married. He graduated from Amherst in '65 and is at Michigan Law School. Dave is Dartmouth '69. Edward is in high school and Elizabeth in junior high.
Bill Lewis, executive v.p. of Franklin National Bank, was elected a director of PepsiCola Bottling Company of Long Island.
By the time these notes arrive at your house, the Alumni Fund will be well underway but many will not have made their contributions. So there is still time for me to add my voice to those you have already heard that we all go all-out this year to make 1933 an outstanding class in the Alumni Fund roster. Giving to worthwhile enterprises in more than token amounts can give great satisfaction as many of you know.
