1944

Of all your pleasant memories of Dartmouth, think it's safe to say that your weekend in Hanover this June will be the best of them all. .. if the efforts and planning of the committee is any indicator. Advanced reservations are already far past expectations. You'll see more of your classmates in a concentrated area than you ever did when you were living in Hanover.

The program for the kids will be top drawer. You'll all enjoy the weekend more if you bring the youngsters along. Being the 25th Reunion class, the socalled "Honor" class, we'll get the red carpet treatment. We get the dorms along Tuck Drive. And our tent will be along there.

You'll get to see Newton's Mayor, MontyBasbas, who during the recent inaugural week in Washington, D. C., was admitted for practice before the U. S. Supreme Court. Monty was recently appointed by Governor John A. Volpe as a member of the Governor's Committee on Law Enforcement and Administration of Criminal Justice.

In New York, Alex Gillespie has been elected secretary of American Smelting and Refining Company. He'll also continue to serve as assistant general counselor. After graduating Magna Cum Laude from Dartmouth, Alex got his LL.B. degree from Fordham.

Another of our distinguished attorneys, Milt Yondorf, has been one of the driving forces for the renowned Leaning Tower YMCA in Chicago. This YMCA does a great deal in educational and self-improvement skill courses. Milt is currently directing a 10-week family law course where he will deal with all the legal aspects of investments, liability, real estate and marriage law statutes, etc.

At that recent Boston alumni dinner where Bill Saunders rounded up a record number of '44's to win the class attendance cup, there were quite a number of company presidents: Art Saul (manufacturing), BillOrr (Cadillac), Ben Jones (insurance), RogFeldman (service), Bud Zetterberg (lumber), Harry Carey (bank), Hap Bush (insurance), John Dennison (lumber), and Perry Banghart (distributor).

Dave Orr was speaking with Bill Saunders the other day and reported at the recent "Dartmouth on the Road" show. JohnnyMorse announced he felt we would have an 800-plus turnout at the Reunion. Bill feels that this is conservative, based on the attendance he expects just from the Boston area.

Bill Fead has been promoted from general manager of manufacturing to vice pressident for Shulton, Inc., the people that make such items as Old Spice, etc.

Here in Ohio Bud Baker has been appointed president of Midwestern Service and Sales, Columbus, the oldest Volkswagen dealership in Ohio He had served as general manager since July 1962.

Paul's Episcopal Church and a trustee of both the Columbus Children's Psychiatric Hospital and _ the Children's Mental Health Center He is also a member of the Columbus At tomobile Dealers Association and the ROtary Club of Columbus.

I'm sorry to pass along the sad news that Dr. Frank Riley passed away suddenly in New York last month. Frank had been on the staff of the Greenwich hospital and the Hospital for loint Diseases in New York City for the last three years. Frank is survived by his wife Betty and three children, Susannah, Thomas and Erik, to whom the Class sends its deepest sympathy.
