1933

It was a beautiful day in Hanover for the first game of the football season against New Hampshire. The new east stands cut down somewhat the view of Balch Hill but certainly add to the seating capacity of Memorial Field. As the stands get larger, the boys selling cokes and hot dogs are getting smaller. They are no longer college students but I would rather guess, grammar school boys. Bea and I saw quite a few '33 people in the stands but unfortunately could not speak to them all - Swede Branson, BillDewey, George Drowne, Hal Hackett, WhitKimball, Hal Mackay, Jack Manchester,Jud Pierson and Al Terry.

General Mills Co. recently named president Jim McFarland as chief executive officer succeeding General Edwin W. Rawlings who will continue as chairman of the board until he retires next year. Congratulations, Jim!!

I am sure there are a great many fellows travelling all over the world and I would appreciate being placed on your postcard list. In this way I can share some of your experiences with the rest of the class through this column. In addition I would like to have some news from all the rest of you - what you are doing, whom you have seen from the Class, and other highlights. Thanks!

Ed Knapp recently sent a card from Honolulu where he was enjoying all the beautiful surroundings. I understand from the underground that Jack Taft is off to visit his son, Gil, in Frankfurt, Germany and then on to Africa to visit his married daughter, Jackie.

Sid and Miriam Stoneman are going to Israel, stopping off in London on their way over and in Rome on the way back. Unfortunately they will miss both the Princeton and Harvard games - the latter they have not missed since World War II.

Jud and Ginny Pierson made a quick trip down to New Jersey to visit his folks. While there they stopped to see Carl andJanet Rugen's new home in Rossmore. "Delightful— and they are very happy after living all these years in Brooklyn. Rugie is in the process of retiring but it will be several years, I guess, before it is complete." Carl represents the Travelers Insurance Co. in New York City and specializes in pension trusts.

Jud and Ginny also visited Jack and Dottie Manchester at their "farm" in Sharon. "It is a great spot near George Smith's summer estate." Congratulations are in order for George on his appointment as general auditor for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Robert Ewing McDonald and Miss Mary Jo Littlefield were married on July 7 at the Community Church of New York followed by a wedding supper at the Plaza. Bob is vice president of the Foreign Policy Association and Mary Jo is a copy group head at J. Walter Thompson Company. We wish them a great deal of happiness.

Ken Spang was pictured in the June 10 issue of World Trade Bulletin published by Commerce and Industry Association of New York Inc., presenting a bond to essay winner, Patricia Mulhearn of Valley Stream, Long Island. Ken is vice president, Overseas Division of the First National City Bank. Listed among Ken's many affiliations are membership on the African Advisory Coun cil of the U.S. Department of State and director of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States and chairman of its International Committee.

John Meek, has been elected a director of Ginn & Co., the Boston textbook publisher.

Page Worthington, general public relation manager of the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company, has been appointed to the board of directors of the Baltimore radio station WFBR.

Our Class is quite mobile with ten members moving in the last month. Most of them stayed within their own general areas but Ed Holmes moved from the University of Maine in Orono to Parkdale, Prince Edward Island, Canada and Don D'Arcy has located at Canterbury 3, King's Forest, Boxford, Mass.

John Monagan was pictured in Time Magazine in the center of the Connecticut delegation at the Democratic Convention in Chicago. John is running for representativ from the fifth Congressional District (Naugatuck valley area of Connecticut). John was first elected to this office in 1958.

Thoughtful acknowledgements expressing thanks to the Class for our memorial book gifts to Baker Library have been received from Mrs. Rollie Bradford, mother of "Brad" Bradford; Mrs. Harold Payne, Mrs.Laurence O'Leary, Mrs. Lyle Spencer, Mrs.Stanley Zebrowski, and Henry Stone 'OB, father of Hudson Stone. Mr. Stone had planned to attend his 60th reunion but he was prevented from doing so because of illness at the very last minute.

So that is it for this month. I hope to see you at one of the football games this fall.
