1933

We have just had a wonderful time in Hanover attending Class Officers Weekend together with Sid and Miriam Stoneman,Wes and Jan Beattie, Bob and Babe Fox, and Jud and Ginney Pierson. (Please see special write-up elsewhere for all that took place.) These are trying and exciting times on the campus and the trustees, administrators, faculty, and students are spending innumerable hours in discussions in an effort to find, not just a solution but rather, the very best solution, for each problem.

Wes Beattie was one of three selected by the Dartmouth Alumni Council to receive their highest tribute - the Dartmouth Alumni Award. He was presented with an engraved silver bowl which is a replica of the one used by Eleazar Wheelock together with a marvelous citation - please be sure to read it - it appears elsewhere in this issue. Congratulations, Wes, on an outstanding job!! „

Frank Ripley, Troy, N. H., wrote this last April:

Betty and I have just returned from a two- week trip, one week skiing at Vail, Colo, with excellent slopes, one week in California, visiting daughter Rae and new son-in-law in Palmdale; other friends in Vista and Van Nuys.

Our oldest daughter, Judy, lives in Chicopee Falls, Mass., but soon moves to Glens Falls, N. Y., where her husband, formerly Air Force captain, will take up teaching duties. They recently presented us with our first granddaughter as a mate to our grandson. Our son, Barry '66, will be winding up his service duties this summer following two years in Germany as officer in Army Engineers. While in Germany he married a native girl last year who just presented us with our second granddaughter. Barry hopes to spend a year at Tuck School, then join us at Troy Mills making a widely diversified line of fabrics - woven, non-woven, vinyl. Our youngest daughter, Sally, graduates from the Margaret Morrison College of Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh.

Troy Mills takes most of my time. This year, in addition, I am serving as Chairman of the Building Committee of Elliot Community Hospital in Keene, of which I am a trustee, in connection with a brand new seven million dollar hospital.

Skiing and squash keep me limber in the winter and golf and tennis are weekend activities in the summer. We have a cottage on Granite Lake, Munsonville, near Keene and would be delighted to have classmates drop in on us anytime. If we are not there we usually are at home in Troy, also near Keene, just south on Route 12.

We haven't heard from Bill (Mahonri)Young for a long time. He is living in Columbus, Ohio, where he is director of the Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts. A few months ago he was the guest speaker at the Cincinnati Art Museum where he discussed the watercolors exhibited by John Marin, Charles Demuth, and Jules Pascin. Bill received his master of arts degree from New York University and taught at Sarah Lawrence College. He was Museum Director of the Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute in Utica, N. Y. He is the author of numerous articles and serves as the American Correspondent to Apollo magazine.

Jack Taft of Marion, Ohio, is treasurer of the Fulfillment Corp., a subsidiary of American Heritage Inc. He and his wife, Marcelle, have three children: Mrs. John (Jacquelyn) Lowe of Blantyre-Limbe, Malawi, Africa; R. Gilman stationed with the Army in Germany (soon to be transferred to Vietnam), and Bradford who is at home. Right now Jack is busy organizing the 1969 United Appeal campaign which he will direct in the fall.

Nick Xanthaky '34 thoughtfully sent along some news regarding Jim McFarland, who was the main speaker at the annual dinner of the Chamber of Commerce in Salem, Mass. General Mills Inc. has acquired in Salem, Parker Bros., manufacturers of family entertainment games such as Monopoly. Salem is the "fun capital" of the world so why go to Las Vegas? Thanks, Nick, it was nice to hear from an ex'33er.

John Bowman is general manager of the Littleton (N. H.) Broadcasting Co. He is a World War II veteran having served with the U.S. Army in the European Theater of Operations. He is a former war correspondent and radio commentator in the Far East. Jane Hixson, widow of Hal Hixson, writes: -"Please express to the class of 1933, my appreciation as well as that of the family, for memorializing Hal's name in Baker Library.

"I have never been to Hanover, although Hal and I had planned to attend the class reunion when he became ill. Perhaps someday in the future, if I can ever get away from the business, I will visit the library."

The 150th Anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in the Dartmouth College Case and the commemoration of the career of Daniel Webster was held in Washington on April 9. Page Worthington wrote that the celebration was very well done and that 1933 without question had the largest turnout. Those attending were John and Jean Meek, Hank and Helen Smith, Pete and Jane Hart, Mannie Sprague, Larry Reeves, Dick Lyon and Page.

News Flashes: Sam and Jean Black have announced the engagement of their daughter, Royce, to Robert W. Carter Jr. of New York City. Royce is on the faculty of the Park Avenue Christian Day School and Bob, after serving three years with the Marines, is employed by the Atlantic Companies, a New York insurance organization. They plan to be married on August 23. Stan andAdele Colla are now living at 85 Two Ponds Rd., Falmouth, Mass. Joe Celano's seventeen-year-old son, Paul, recently played hooky from school to play in the Middle Atlantic PGA's opening pro-am at Rolling Road Country Club (Catonsville, Md.?). He shot a one under par 71 to win both the low gross and low net on the amateur side. Congratulations, Paul!! I phoned George Theriault while in Hanover. He and Rae are both fine and they are enjoying living in Norwich across the street from the Norwich Inn. RegWilson has moved from Washougal, Wash, to Keene, N. H. Why such a big hop, Reg?

This is the last month for the Alumni Fund. Those who have not already contributed, please do so right away. Those who have but did not increase, please consider seriously making an additional gift. Thank you.

So this winds things up until next fall, but be sure to put a Big Green D on your calendar for October 11. That is the Saturday of the Penn Game in Hanover and GeorgeDrowne has already reserved space at the Norwich Inn for a 1933 reunion dinner that night. Last year we had a great time but our numbers were fewer than usual. The excuse for most who did not attend was that they had not been told far enough in advance. Well you have no excuse for this year! If you plan to stay over night, you had better make your reservation now because beds are going fast. Please let George know if you are coming. Just drop him a card c/o Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital.
