1935
'35 Up! Let's sound the battle cry, and go all-out for the Alumni Fund this year. It's really a '35 production this time, with Ralph Lazarus as general chairman and two more '3sers on the national committee - Ed Ramsey and Dave Williams. To say nothing of Cramp Carrick, our new class agent, and his crew of hard-working assistant agents.
We've got 'em outnumbered; so let's show 'em up! Who said the Class of '35 can't raise $48,000, or even $50,000 for that matter? We're betting on you!
I knew when I listed '35ers in education I'd miss somebody. Joe Waters' wife, Onalene, writes that Joe is now Professor of Military Science and Tactics at Cornell. Joe is well qualified for the assignment, after a career that includes World War II duty with Merrill's Marauders, attendance at the Leavenworth Command and General Staff College and extensive duty in Europe. Onalene writes that the family is in love with Ithaca, N. Y., and may even retire there. Meanwhile, she extends an open invitation to any '3sers to drop by, if they are in the Up-State New York area.
Lots of promotions this month! LowellHaas has moved from Chicago regional sales to the Sales Planning Group at United Air Lines EXO (airlinese for executive offices) out near O'Hare Field. Lowell's daughter, Carol (Mrs. Marvin Kelly) is now in ticket sales at United's ticket counter in Washington National airport. So, if any '35er wants special attention paid to his reservations while visiting the Capital, you know where to go.
Another Chicagoan, Herb Knowles, also changed jobs. Herb is now Manager of Marketing Administration of Ozite Corporation, the folks that make indoor-outdoor carpets, after 20 years in the Wholesale Division of Carson-Pirie-Scott. Herb's daughter, Joan, is a sophomore at Colorado State College in Greeley. His older son, Herb Jr., is a junior at Deerfield (Ill.) High School and young Todd is a 4th-grader.
Chuck Brown, after a career in journalism, has moved into public relations, and recently was elected vice president of International Executive Service Corps. The IESC is known as "The Businessmen's Peace Corps," and is a non-profit corporation which recruits American executives to serve as volunteer advisers to companies in the developing nations. Chuck joined the IESC soon after its founding two years ago. Previously, he was an editor on the staff of the New York Times Magazine and an editor and foreign correspondent of Newsweek Magazine.
Jim Holden was re-elected Chief Justice of the Vermont Supreme Court, in the February election. Jim has had a distinguished record in the Vermont judiciary. Appointed a Superior Judge in 1949, he was named Associate Justice of the Vermont Supreme Court in 1956, and Chief Justice in 1963. He also served as Chairman of the Vermont Statutory Revision Committee. Jim's son, Peter, graduates this June in the Class of '67.
Neil Roberts, our regional class chairman in Denver, is spending an active year as president of the Colorado Bankers Association. Although Neil completed his second term in the Alumni Council last year, he continues a busy role in education. Currently, he is on the Board of Trustees of Colorado Woman's College, and head of its fund-raising effort. He's also a trustee of the Colorado School of Banking at the University of Colorado. Neil writes:
"Our children, Steve and Sue, have both finished college - Steve from Dartmouth and Sue from Stanford. Sue was married two years ago, and has just earned her Master's in English Literature at Colorado U. Steve has finished his Army training, and is now with Dean Witter & Company in Denver. Really have little to complain about - except that I don't see as many Dartmouth classmates as I would like."
Ernie and Holly Draper, Doug and RuthLey, and Bob and Henrietta Hage all got together in Hanover over Winter Carnival Weekend. The Leys and Drapers were up to chaperone fraternity parties. Ruth and Doug also were busy with movie cameras, shooting film for a movie on campus life. Those who attended last fall's reunion can testify that Doug and Ruth are no novices in this department. Their superb movies of the French wine country (not to mention genuine samples of the product) were a big hit at the fall soiree!
The Class will be saddened to learn of the passing of two classmates. George Barnes died February 2, after an extended illness. Further details are reported in the "In Memoriam" section of this or a later issue. From Boyd Rogers comes belated news that Dick Howell passed away in November, 1963. Boyd writes:
"Dick had not kept in touch with the college and, as far as I can tell, his death has never been reported to Hanover. Dick incurred a very severe case of spinal arthritis, right after graduating from Tuck School. He battled failing health for years, and finally succumbed to pneumonia. He is survived by his wife, Sue, and three children - Richard, a junior at M.I.T.; Gwen, a senior in high school; and Mary Jane, a junior. I remember him not only as a wonderful friend, but as one of the best bridge partners I've ever had." All of us who knew George and Dick extend our heart-felt sympathy to their families.
Bill Krieg is now director of Argentine, Paraguayan and Uruguayan Affairs in the State Department. He took over this responsibility about two years ago, and since then has made three trips to Latin America. Bill reports seeing Howie Croninger in Montevideo, before Howie moved back stateside. As for the family, Bill writes that son Lawrence is a junior at the College of Wooster (Ohio), and both daughters are in high school.
From Bob Richter comes the news, "Two older daughters graduated from college and married. We are grandparents now. Son graduates from Denison University (Ohio) this June. Youngest daughter is a sophomore at Heidelberg College in Ohio. With the children gone, Audrey and I are free to travel - and have been! We're already planning for a trip to Hawaii in '69 to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary."
Quickies: Len Bryant elected a director of the National Association of Manufacturers. Paul Siskind named to a three-man panel to investigate conflict-of-interest charges against former Lt. Gov. Bellotti of Massachusetts. John Gregory running for a third term on the Wayland (Mass.) School Committee. Sandy Brown delivered the installation sermon, as the First Grace Church Universalist of Lowell (Mass.) installed a new minister. Wiley Hubbell and frau photographed with a group from Roanoke (Va.) while vacationing at The Homestead, in Hot Springs, Va. Frank Wright, Lowell Haas and Ed Freeman, along with yours truly, gave '35 a quorum at a recent Chicago alumni luncheon, addressed by Dean Thaddeus Seymour.
Art Allyn, branching out in sports. He and brother, John, who also own the Chicago White Sox, are angels for the new Chicago professional soccer team, the Chicago Mustangs. They have hired Stu Holcomb, former athletic director of Northwestern University, as general manager, and will field a team of foreign, stars this year. Their ultimate goal is to develop American talent to compete in a sport long dominated by European stars.
