1938

News of classmates is sparse this month. However, as it is the first month of my tenure as Class Secretary that I have not had one or more obituary notices to insert I consider it a good month for the Class of '38.

In an effort to add an international flavor to this otherwise drab column I solicited news from my onetime roommate and erstwhile fellow Babylonian, King Van Denberg, who reported as follows: "King Van Denberg is alive and working in England and living in an old barn at Henley-on-Thames." Apparently he is already acquir- ing the English penchant for understatement. The barn referred to, though two hundred years old, is now a gracious country estate and his work is publisher of several trade journals for McGraw-Hill. He further reports that he has gone back to golf and limited his yachting activities to punting on the Thames with an outboard motor.

From Pelham in the County of West- chester and State of New York comes the intelligence that Warren Flynn was elected president of the Pelham Board of Education just after being sworn in as a new member of the board. Warren, incidentally, was graduated in 1934 from Pelham Memorial High School where he received the Memorial Tablet Award. Presently he is director of marketing research, advertising and marketing services of the First National City Bank of New York.

Word has just been received that the bachelor ranks have been thinned by the June marriage of Frank Brett to Sandra Jean Schwartz of South Portland, Me. Frank is president of F. W. Brett and Co., a general contracting firm in Boston.

John Putnam Merrill, M.D., a native of Hartford, was among nine honorary degree recipients at the 148 th Commencement Exercises at Colby College in Waterville, Me., this past June. Frank was cited by President Strider as "a distinguished physician and scientist."

At the Boston Gear Division of North American Rockwell, Don Badger has been named to the new post of manager of marketing services with overall responsibility for marketing research, advertising, promotion, and sales training. He's been with Boston Gear for seventeen years, most recently as assistant to the vice president for sales. A member of the American Marketing Association, he and Geraldine and their two sons live in Braintree, Mass.

Here's hoping that I can garner some gossip at the Penn game in Hanover and the Harvard game at the home of the bean and the cod.

Marine Brig. Gen. James Feeley '39 andIst Lt. Warren Cook '67 met in Vietnamand discovered their common Dartmouthbackground with hockey captaincies under the late Coach Eddie Jeremiah.
