1941

Fall has arrived in New Hampshire and with it another football season. It appears that the Big Green is out to atone for its less than successful 1968 campaign. Decisive wins over New Hampshire and Holy Cross have set the tone for what could be another Ivy League championship year. In case some of you missed the pictures that went out on the wire service last weekend, you will be interested to know that something new has been added to the football scene. Some of Dartmouth's new coed students have been recruited for cheerleading duties and are brightening the Saturday afternoon festivities in their white mini-skirts.

There is still some late spring and summer news to report, so we'll get right to it. Dr. Dick Sexton is president-elect of the Rhode Island Medical Society. Dick is the chief of the Division of Plastic Surgery at Rhode Island Hospital and is past president of the New England Society of Plastic Surgeons.

A recent note from Clark Norris follows: “Without having time to turn around and look at the calendar or clock I've noticed that I've become the grandfather of a charming four-year-old girl who considers me to be a very important person and a one-week-old boy, called brother, who doesn't know me from Adam. I'm also the guardian of a kidney machine, and a lucky guy who had his wife given back to him from the dead. I'm still making a living teaching people the tricks to the study game."

Ralph Johnson, who heads up his own firm, Chicago Tent and Textile Company, is making a major contribution toward the solution of Chicago's hard-core unemployment problems. His is one of the Chicago companies participating in a program of the Chicago Alliance of Business Men to hire and train 33,000 hard-core unemployed and under-employed persons by July 1, 1970. Under the program, participating companies put trainees through two weeks of orientation and training with pay and then provides them with good paying full-time employment. Founded less than two years ago, Chicago Tent now employs more than 125 people, nearly all of whom came from the ranks of the hard-core unemployed. Today these persons are earning as much as $3.00 an hour, have company-paid medical and hospitalization programs and get six annual holidays and paid vacations.

Warner Bishop, president of Union Financial Corporation of Cleveland was recently elected to the additional position of Chairman of the Board of that company. A note from Bill Lee reports that he has a challenging new job as Assistant Controller Patient Relations at St. Lukes Episcopal Hospital and Texas Children's Hospital at the Texas Medical Center in Houston. These hospitals are in the process of expanding their facilities to over 1,000 beds. Bill's son, Bill Jr., graduated from Hanover last spring.

From Pittsburg, N. H., Lt. Col Paul Badger reports that he retired from the Air Force in mid 1968 and is now principal of the Pittsburg School. His wife Tommie, is director of nursing at the Coos County Hospital in West Stewartstown, N. H. Their son Ellison was graduated from the University of New Hampshire last June, and their second son Richard was graduated from the Pittsburg School.

Fritz Cluthe has become a trans-Atlantic commuter. He reported a while back leaving for his 107 th flight to Europe. He is president of the Association of Food Distributors and also president of his own food and chemical import business, Strohmeyer and Arpe.

Tinner Gordon is serving his third term as president of Children's Memorial Hospital in Omaha and his second term as president of the National Ice Association.

Dr. Win Shorey is still at the University of Arkansas' School of Medicine in Little Rock. His wife, Jeannette writes that "he is an old sailor these days. Last summer we bought the cabin sail boat we have wanted since our early sailing days when we lived in Maine. It is a Tylercraft 24'. We keep it on a nearby lake and are looking forward to exploring many of the lakes and waterways in Arkansas and our nearby states."

Lt. Col. Dick Jachens wrote a while back that he finished a year's tour of duty in Korea. His wife, Ginny, and five of their six children were with him and were enjoying the experience and gaining an appreciation of the problems of the less fortunate nations of the world. His oldest daughter, Pat, was doing graduate work at Rutgers at the time of his letter. Dick expected to be returned to the States in the not too distant future. As yet we have had no word on this transfer, but in July we received an address change which indicates Dick is now in Europe.
