1936
When spring gets into the air and April shows its colors, the planning starts for June events. Many of our Class will be heading for Hanover this June for the graduation exercises of the Class of 1968, which includes on its roster nine sons of '36. David Bergengren, son of Roy and Rosemary Bergeagren of Daytona Beach, Fla.; Alex Chisholm III, son of Doug and Sallie Chisholm of Shaker Heights, Ohio; Steven Goldthwait, son of Lawrence and Charlotte GoldthVvait of Newport, R. I.; James Hoffman, son of Bill and Pat Hoffman of New Vernon, N. J.; Peter Hofman, son of Norb and Pic Hofman of Scarsdale, N. Y.; Theodore Levin, son of Art and Betty Levin of Scarsdale, N. Y.; Robert Lowd, son of Harry and NathalieLowd of Salem, Mass.; Philip Lucas, son of Clarence and Helen Lucas of Indianapolis, Ind.; and William Martens III, son of Billand Stina Martens of Chatham, N. J. This is a sizeable group to have in Hanover. Perhaps they can arrange an unofficial reunion. Peter Hofman and William Martens are first year Tuck students and will be returning to Hanover in the fall to finish their graduate school work.
Weddings are the other main June activity. Tom and Jean Parker of Fairfield, Conn., are in the midst of planning for such an event. Their daughter, Nancy, a graduate of Smith College and presently working for Vista in Concord, N. H., will marry Michael Callahan, a Concord attorney and graduate of Wesleyan and Cornell Law School on June 1 in Southport, Conn. This will be a completely ecumenical ceremony at the Trinity Episcopal Church in which both the Episcopal and Roman Catholic priests will officiate.
A recent long distance call from New York brought me up-to-date on the activities of Bob Warren. He has written a book called "The Facts of Life" subtitle "For Teen Age Girls from 13 to 53." The volume is illustrated by Abner Dean '31 and is published by Rodney-Warren Publications. Although Rodney died in 1959 he is fondly remembered by our Class for his faithful attendance at reunions accompanied by Bob. Since the book will be widely publicized on TV, you will undoubtedly hear about it before too long. If you don't, just ask for it at your local bookstore'— price $3.95, plus local tax. Oh, incidentally, it's for unmarried girls. Sorry 'bout that. Maybe Bob could write a sequel for you married gals.
Snow arrived just in time to save the Dartmouth Winter Carnival this past February. Over at the Theta Delta Chi House Brint Schorer was acting as bachelor chaperone - whatever that might be.
The Harvard Business School Bulletin is always a good source of information about our classmates who continued on at that institution and became HBS '38. It's their 30th reunion this June and plans are underway for a big celebration. Al Gibney intends to be on hand. Siffrein Vass will probably not make it, since he has been transferred to Mexico by Ford Motor Co. and has taken up the general managership of Ford Motor CIA there. At least he will be right on hand for the Olympic Games this fall.
The Remington Arms Co. of Bridgeport, Conn., recently announced the promotion of William H. Foster to assistant to the director of marketing of arms, ammunition, traps and targets. Bill has been with Remington, a Dupont subsidiary, since his graduation from Dartmouth and has held many positions in the marketing field. Bill, his wife, Claire, and their five children live in Trumbull. In January in Greenwich, Conn., there was a joint meeting between the Dartmouth and Princeton alumni groups to hear John Kinefick, vice president of the New York Central, speak on "Mergers and Commuters." The meeting was chaired by JacksonSmith, president of the local Dartmouth alumni. As a commuter myself I can only say things have not been good since the merger. There are so many people standing on the 5:25 out of Grand Central it looks like an extension of the Lexington Ave. Express.
The College has sent out the Alumni College circular for this summer and the response has been overwhelming. The advance registrants include Dick and Dot Allen of Montpelier, Vt., Art and Francesca Davidson of Oconomowoc, Wis., Dr. Wilson andAnn Ferguson of Sikeston, Mo., Pete andBarbara Fitzherbert of Auburn, Me., Norband Pic Hof man of Scarsdale, N. Y., Jimand Mavis Pollock of Shaker Heights, Ohio. The Fergusons should be spending some time in the east this year since their son, Joseph, will be graduating from the Choate School in June. Dr. Bill is a surgeon and heads up the Ferguson Medical Group in Sikeston, Mo.
Stan Osgood was in Hanover for Freshman Fathers weekend in February to accompany his son, Jonathan, through his class schedule. Stan lives in Winchester, Mass., and works in Boston for Houghton Mifflin Co. He and his wife, Doris, have one other son, Christopher who is still in high school.
The Cherry Lawn School in Darien, Conn., suffered a $250,000 fire loss recently. It was subsequently learned that the fire was set by one of the volunteer firemen of Darien. Headmaster Ludwig Zuber kept the private preparatory school functioning smoothly during the crisis and has taken emergency measures to carry on all services.
The 1936 Directory should have reached you by this printing. If for any reason, you have not received a copy, please let me know and a copy will be sent promptly. Most of the credit for the directory is due Dick Dorrance who read copy, corrected proofs, and prodded the printer. Keep it handy as you travel.
