1942
A grateful father was expressing thanks to '42s for the messages which were sent during his son's courageous fight to live, and the thought expressed is worded so beautifully it ought to be shared: "The messages we have had from our son's Dartmouth friends bespeak a brotherhood the memory of which will be dear to us as long as we live." These words effectively express the predominant spirit of our class, other Dartmouth classes, and the entire Dartmouth fraternity. Individually and collectively we, too, can be grateful that we share a ''prize" which is worthy of the "game" ... indeed fortunate are we all, and the many ways in which forms of gratitude may take shape are too obvious to mention, the annual Alumni Fund being one significant example.
This spirit was given full play in the February 24 Dartmouth Glee Club concert sung in Ridgewood (N. J.) and sponsored by the Dartmouth Club of Bergen County. The same spirit is being demonstrated by a rejuvenated Dartmouth basketball team which has sprung several upsets within recent weeks and has contagiously infected much of the current student body. And we predict there are many better nights to come next year, and the next. A tip of the Indian headdress to messieurs Zeller and Gavitt for the fine work which they are doing!
FRANK COMMENDATION
While tipping Indian headdresses we might add one for Frank Malavasic, who received a Department of Army award for outstanding performance of duty as Administrative Assistant to Colonel Oren W. Bryant, U.S. Army Forces Southern Command Mainte- nance Management Officer, Panama Canal Zone. We can feel somewhat relieved that Frank and Marion are down there looking after U.S. interests in Panama in light of the developments there within recent months.
Just to keep the headdress bobbing, our congratulations to Richard B. Fairman who has been named a vice president of Alco Products's (Inc.) locomotive and engine products division, in an announcement by the president of the Worthington Corp. subsidiary. Dick's promotion to marketing vice president has come after having served two years as division marketing manager. He will establish marketing policy for the division and be responsible for all marketing activities. He majored in civil engineering at Dartmouth and joined Alco in 1946 after discharge as a Navy engineering officer (Lt.sg) in both the Atlantic and Mediterranean theaters of World War 11. Dick and his wife, the former Anne Burford of Cleveland, reside with their three children in Schenectady.
Thomas O. Harriman is currently president of the Dartmouth Alumni Club of Greenwich and arranged recently for a joint meeting of the Dartmouth and Princeton Alumni Clubs of Greenwich at which John C. Kinefick, vice president-operations of the New York Central System, was the speaker on the subject "Mergers and Commuters."
Word was recently received that PhilipLocke of Glastonbury, Conn., has been appointed division counsel for Sikorsky Aircraft Division of United Aircraft. Phil graduated from Dartmouth and University of Connecticut law school. He joined UAC in 1954 as assistant division counsel at PWA, became counsel at United Aircraft Research Labs in 1955 and was division counsel for the former Missiles and Space Systems division from 1958 to 1960, when he joined the Research Laboratories as counsel.
Jim Ingersoll is in charge of all BorgWarner Corp. operations in Australia. Aloha! Jim's daughter, Jean, was married recently to Stephen L. Smith of Greenwich, Conn., who is completing his final semester at Tuck School. The marriage took place in Winnetka, Ill. (the Ingersolls reside in Australia) and one of Jean's six bridesmaids is from Honolulu, attesting to the worldwide interest in this unique "Dartmouth-flavored" wedding. Aloha!
Don Gates, who resides in Wisconsin milkshake country, has led a varied life since graduation - and has managed to pursue his bent for participating in dramatic productions a la undergraduate days - from president of the W. Goss Gates insurance agency to an insurance public relations acciates. Recently he was co-starred in the Shorewood Players production of "Seven Year Itch." He serves as toastmaster for Junior League Follies, is a stand-up comic for many local functions, and in World War II days wrote, produced, and directed a variety show performed on the deck of a carrier in the South Pacific.
DARTMOUTH SONS
Dartmouth '42 sons are "stirring the hill winds" with outstanding performances on the following Big Green teams: SwimmingChuck Hodgson, son of Ed Hodgson, and Clint Harris, son of Bill Harris; Football and soccer senior sons of Ned Skinner and Dave Heald have just finished fine careers as first-string football and soccer standouts. Dick, son of Phil Moon, is looking ahead to his final season as a varsity soccer starter. Oily Quayle's son Randy was the leading scorer on the Little Green soccer team which won 7 and lost 1. He is currently on the frosh basketball team and promises to make his presence felt on future varsity soccer and basketball teams. A feather from the oft-mentioned "headdress" to these '42 dads and their academically and athleticallytalented offspring!
WIDE HORIZONS
Leo Caproni and wife Joanna left in early February to survey the operation and management of a number of hotels in Morocco. He was chosen by Uncle Sam and is in charge of development for Treadway Inns. Lucky Leo and spouse will be making some vacation stops in Europe on the way home!
Reverend Bill Bishop has moved from Nassau, Bahamas, where he was headmaster of Saint John's College, a secondary school, to Lindisfarne College, Wynnstay, Ruabon, Denbighshire, Wales. (Newsletter Editor Milt Williams says "Try that after a peanut butter sandwich," but if you really want a challenge try that with your false teeth out. We should live so long!)
For Longer Life
The horse and mule live thirty years And nothing know of wines and beers, The goat and sheep at twenty die And never taste of Scotch and Rye.
The cows drink water by the ton And at eighteen are mostly done, The dog at fifteen cashes in Without the aid of Rum and Gin, The cat in milk and water soaks And then at twelve short years it croaks, The modest sober bone-dry hen Lays eggs for nogs, then dies at ten, All animals are strictly dry, They sinless live and sinless die. But Sinful, Ginful, Rum-soaked men Survive for three score years and ten.
Author unknown
Methinks there is a moral here. ... Feed your cats and dogs wine, gin, and beer ... they'll live longer! Don't get any ideas!
