1938

Now that the football season is over, the chance for informal reunions rest with gatherings in the metropolitan centers or possible forays to the North here to Hanover. The success of the Princeton get-together bodes well for the future, and perhaps there will be renewals of the affairs in Cambridge and New Haven of recent years. Some classes have mid-winter gatherings, but, to my knowledge, we don't have an innkeeper in our midst in a strategic location, where the Class could foregather.

William R. Stead, corporate counsel for Interlake Steel, has been elected assistant secretary of the corporation in addition to his duties as counsel. He has been counsel for the steel firm since 1964 after joining the company in 1962 as secretary and counsel. He was previously general counsel of the Construction Materials Division of Martinwaii. Marietta, and he also served as general attorney and counsel for American-Marietta Company. Prior to that, he was with Crane Company as assistant secretary and attorney and is former associate attorney in the law firm of Gann, Secord, Stead, and McIntosh.

After graduation from Dartmouth, Bill received a J.D. from Northwestern University Law School and a M.B.A. from Chicago's Executive Training Program. He served in the Navy during World War II.

Speaking of executives in training, Big Ed White has been selected as one of 162 business executives and government officials to participate in the 54th session of the Advanced Management Program (AMP) conducted by the Harvard University Graduate School of Business Administration. He is sponsored by the H. P. Hood Co. for the 13-week course designed to prepare executives in, or approaching, top management positions to exercise full leadership responsibility in an age of unprecedented change and challenge.

Still in the field of business endeavor, William W. Baxter has been named manager, underwriting, casualty-property department at the Travelers Insurance Companies Tampa, Fla., office. He joined the company in 1938 at Camden, N. J., and later was moved to Philadelphia. In 1946 he was assigned to lacksonville, Fla., and in 1950 to Washington, D. C., where, in 1951, he was named assistant manager. He returned to lacksonville five years later and was transferred to Miami, Fla. He later served in Atlanta, Ga., and since 1963, in Tampa. Some moving around! He now lives in Clearwater.

Ham Mitchell has been elected president and chief executive officer of Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. He had been president of Reuben H. Donnelley Corporation, a whollyowned subsidiary of Dun and Bradstreet. He started with Donnelley in 1939 as a sales trainee after attending the University of Michigan Law School. He serves as a director and trustee of the National Recreation and Park Association and as a faculty associate at the Indiana University Graduate School of Business.

As noted elsewhere, in the field of human relations, Morrow Peyton was awarded the Silver Antelope by the Boy Scouts of America for distinguished service to boyhood. He recently received a Wah-Hoo-Wah from the ALUMNI MAGAZINE for having been elected senior vice president of the Northwestern National Bank in Minneapolis. Aside from scouting, he is a past member of the Minneapolis Charter Commission and has served for a number of years on the Board of Directors of the Minneapolis Area United Fund. He was formerly a trustee of the Breck School. He is a Legionnaire and a member of the American Institute of Banking. He formerly served as president of the Minikahda Club and a member of its Board of Governors. He is a vestryman of St. Paul's Episcopal Church and chairman of its Finance Committee.

Thanks to the good offices of Pete Schaeffer, I have two short items of news from classmates who came through promptly with the class dues. Ed Grace, squire of St. Louis, reports his is "still plodding along in the metal advertising sign manufacturing business." He feels the outlook is easier now that Congress has somewhat become disenchanted with Federal domination of the States' regulatory statutes. The family, consisting of Mary Kay, 12; Valley, 9; and Chipper, 7; all doing fine. "Hope we can make our 35th."

And from Jake Carey, "Our oldest boy graduated from University of North Carolina last June and is now working in the Foreign Department of the First National City Bank. Patty and I are still holding forth here in Hutchinson (Kansas)."

Word has been received from the State University of New York, Office of Architecture and Facilities in Albany, N.Y., of the death on August 25 of Robert B. Wilson. Since Bob was a non-graduate, and has been classified these many years as "notinterested," there is no further information available. I am sure the Class joins in sympathy for his survivors.

To end on a more cheerful note, a very happy holiday season to all members of the Class of 1938, and here's looking forward to June and our 35th!
