1940
The fall season always seems to bring with it a number of changes in educational institutions. With these changes come added honors or new positions for some whose work involves this highest of the professions. George T. Mills is one of the faculty of Lake Forest College who has been so promoted. Associated with the college since 1964 his appointment to full professor of Sociology and Anthropology was announced this fall. A move from Juneau, Alaska, back to Laconia, N. H., brought T. Gary Allen to his new position as chairman of the mathematics department and high school math teacher as announced by the Winnisquam Regional School Board.
On the non-teaching level, but vitally interested in education. Jack Willson has added to his many activities, another job that of being a member of the Vermont State Board of Education. Jack, incidentally, succeeded Bob O'Brien to this position. Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Ala., announced that Bob Weil was named to their Board of Trustees. Bob is also actively working on a number of Dartmouth projects including serving on the Alumni Council and as area enrollment chairman. In addition he's a trustee of Wheaton College in Norton, Mass. Aside from these educational pursuits he is a director of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange and the Regional Export Expansion Council and in his spare (?) time earns a living as president of Weil Brothers Cotton, Inc.
The last of the educational news department for this month concerns Tom Braden who was re-elected to a second five-year term as an alumni trustee at Dartmouth. He is also a member of the Dartmouth Arts Council and the Dartmouth Campus Conference. This latter group is a forum involving the president, other trustees, faculty, and administration members and students.
Time magazine of August 15 carried a full page article (with picture!) in "The Press" section about Washington's newest syndicated column. The authors are Tom Braden and Frank Mankiewicz and their column is carried regularly by over 70 newspapers, including the Washington Post and New York Post. In addition the two conduct a five-day-week commentary on Washington's WTOP-TV. The Time article praised the authors for using their contacts to report what really goes on behind Washington's public facade and in several instances they have "scooped" the major news media.
Maurice Williamson has switched from one part of the communications industry to another. He has set himself up in the direct mail field after 23 years in publication advertising. Will writes that "with plenty of hard work and some luck I expect to build a sufficient volume of business (and loyal clientele) to set up my own list brokerage business." Should his aspirations come true soon enough his wife, Eleanor, might be tempted to leave her position as credit manager of Esquire Magazine and become his credit manager!
Belatedly we've learned that Ray Dau has been elected vice-president and director of account management of Vic Maitland & Associates of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Before joining that firm a year ago he had been senior vice-president of Post-Keyes-Gardner of Chicago. Another business switch we've learned about is that Chap Wentworth has forsaken 16 years as a newspaper publisher and is doing public relations work writing for 30 newspapers. Also in the public relations field with the advertising and public relations firm of Doremus & Co. in New York we're pleased to announce the promotion of Tom Ballantyne to vice-president. Tom started with them as a copywriter five years ago after a couple of decades in Wall St.
From Hanover we have been notified that Creight Holden has been appointed to a three-year term on the Board of Overseers of the Hanover Inn. Creight previously served in this same supervisory capacity from 1963 to 1966. While on the subject of Hanover you might like to know that Bob MacMillen mailed a copy of our Re-union Memorial Service program with a very nice letter to all parents, widows, and other kin of those whom we remembered at that service last June. Bob and I have been attempting to straighten our files and we find there are eight "lost" classmates we'd like to locate. If any of you know the whereabouts of the following I'd appreciate hearing from you: Albert DeRonde, AllanDhonau, Russ Gorman, Andy Howes, JohnLewey, James Malaney, Edw. J. O'Brien3rd, and Jay Stout. Thanks.
This column is being completed after our informal Holy Cross weekend reunion in Hanover. A week earlier this year than in the past, the beautiful fall colors of the trees were just beginning to appear. As always Crosbie and Bob MacMillen were most gracious hosts at their home Friday evening after the campus rally and bonfire. These fall reunions have become a growing tradition and Mac this year had "loeked-up" the Occom Inn and part of Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge in White River for our class. Saturday evening after we had beaten Holy Cross 38-6 we gathered at Bob's for cocktails and then adjourned to the Drake Room in the Hopkins Center for an excellent roast beef dinner. In attendance at one or another of the festivities over the weekend were: Ken and Dotty Arwe, Joe and Bertie Bird, Lloyd and Peg Blanchard and their freshman son, Kevin, Brownie and Joyce Browne, Doc Darnley and young son, Dana Jr., Diz and Audrey deSieyes, Joe and Cathy Dunford, Dick and Janet Funkhouser, Dick and Zelda Goulder, Bob and Lee Lake, Jack and Lois Moody, Art and Harriet Ostrander and freshman son, Doug, Don and Ruby Rainie, Bill and Patty Squire, Gordon and Rosalie Wentworth and Stet Whitcher.
