1933

The winter sports season is now under way and last night January 5 - Bea and I attended our first Dartmouth hockey game in a great many years. Dartmouth jumped well in front of Army with a very aggressive attack featuring excellent passing. At one point we led 5 to 1 but Army came back to tie the game at 7 all and force a sudden death overtime period during which there was no scoring so the game ended in a tie. Jack Manchester attended the game with his grandson. Barton, who is also the grandson of Jack Wright.

Dr. Ken Jacques has moved from Los Angeles to Hollywood. He is president of the medical staff at the Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital and is also serving on their board of trustees.

John Monagan is serving his sixth term in Congress as U.S. Representative from the sth Congressional District in Connecticut. One newspaper writer said: "Monagan is the best Democrat the Republicans have ever had representing them in Congress."

Representative Hank Smith of North Tonawanda, N. Y., is now a real Indian. He was made a blood brother of Six Nations of Iroquois Confederacy by Chief Harry Patterson of the Tuscaroras. The Syracuse Herald-Journal carried a wonderful picture of Hank in full head-dress along with his squaw, Helen (without head-dress). He was elected to his third term in Congress as Republican U.S. Representative from the 40th Congressional District. I wonder if we have any other classmates serving in Congress?

1933 is still on the go and- strangely enough those most recently heard from have both been to the Orient. Sam Black wrote that he and Jean "took off on November 2 for the Orient and met John and Jane (son '63 and daughter-in-law) in Tokyo. We hadn't seen them for nearly a year and a half. John was on vacation and the four of us spent a couple of weeks in Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong."

Charlie and Gene Clark of Tulsa write: "It has been a busy, interesting year for all the Clarks. The highlight must certainly be our three-week Oriental tour with the Challenger Camera Club of Kansas City. The trip included cities and resorts in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Thailand. We loved this completely different part of the world and came home with a humble respect for their most admirable culture. Nancy (daughter) and a friend accompanied us and their youthful enthusiasm combined with our curiosity kept us busy every minute of every day. Nancy's Chase Manhattan Bank foreign contacts helped make our tour interesting."

The Reverend Theodore V. Purcell S.J. is director of the Cambridge (Mass.) Center for Social Studies. During the summer a series of articles appeared in The News American which Ted wrote concerning the frontline role hundreds of businesses were playing in the battle against poverty. These were addressed to the problems businessmen would encounter as they undertook an unfamiliar and complex social task - and the solutions already worked out in a number of companies - as they hired and trained underprivileged Americans who a few years ago might have been considered unemployable.

News Flashes: Bill and Ellie Bates' daughter, Susan, was married on December 14 to James H. Margraf of Richmond, Va. He is a Princeton graduate and will he graduated from the University of Virginia Medical School this June.

At a recent sports luncheon in Hanover, Squash Coach John Kenfield said that Jus Stanley '71 was one of the finest young men he had ever met. Congratulations to Jusand Leigh.

Did our Fred Birmingham of Scranton, Pa., write "Goodbye to Shamrock" in the December Reader's Digest?
