1942
You may be pleasantly surprised to learn that, by agreement of the class secretaries in Hanover last May, our columns during 1970-71 will be limited to fewer words. This will definitely call for more cerebration and less verbiage (some have another word for it) on the part of your class secretary.
PERKINS ELECTED: John A, Perkins was elected member of the Corporation of Boston’s Museum of Science. Active in community affairs, John is a vice president of the State Street Bank & Trust Company. He and his family live in Marion, Mass.

JACOBS REELECTED; Bache & Cos., one of the nation’s largest brokerage houses, has announced the reelection of Harry Jacobs as president. He joined Bache in 1946 after four years in the Air Force as a flying instructor. Among the many things he has crowded into an active life have been nine trips with his family to the Austrian Alps.

FARLEY RETURNS: James L. Farley, formerly editor of the “Claremont Daily Eagle,” has been named assistant director, Office of Information Services at Dartmouth College.

Wel- come back, Jim!
JIM TAKES GINGER; The marriage of the former Mrs. Ginger Asherman to Dr. James A. O’Shea (mentioned in recent col- umns for his work on the drug abuse prob- lem) took place in Atlanta, Ga. on July 6. Ginger is the daughter of Mrs. Flora Martin of Orlando, Fla., and attended the University of Florida. She has taught elementary school in Florida and New Hampshire. After Dart- mouth, Jim attended New York Medical School. Currently Jim is practicing pediatrics in Greater Lawrence (Mass.)
ANGER GREEN BERET: Duties with Nicholson File Cos. have caused Bert W. Anger to relinquish his responsibilities as the commanding officer of the Green Berets, Cos. D, 19th Special Forces, RING. Bert expects to continue as an advisor to the Adjutant General, Major General Leonard Holland, on Special Forces affairs. He holds the rank of lieutenant colonel and has kept pace with his company in training which includes periodic parachute jumps. Bert Anger has had a prominent career as a business executive with the Nicholson company for the past 16 years. The colonel served in the European Theater with the OSS during World War 11, became a reservist in 1950, and joined the Rhode Island National Guard in 1966. Hats off to two illustrious careers on the part of Lt. Colonel and business exec Bert Anger!
COMMERCIAL “BREAK”: Don’t forget the ’42 informal get-together on Princeton Game Weekend in Hanover October 9-10. Come! The first showing of the edited ver- eion of the film taken by Bob Campbell and his crew at the 25th Reunion (1967) will take place at 10 p.m. Friday, October 9, at Fairbanks Theater, Fairbanks North Hall.
’42 STRIKES BACK AGAIN: Only a heroic last-minute effort on the part of many men in many classes, including The Great ’42, led by Head Agent John Nauss, succeeded in pulling the 1970 Alumni Fund beyond the two-million-dollar level during the final weeks of the drive. In those weeks ’42 moved from last place to third in the Green Derby competition, producing over $30,000 for this year’s Fund. Over $lO,OOO was raised in the last two weeks, and the total number of contributors increased from 225 to 350. Some of the stars in this script were John Nauss (who organized a red hot June telephone drive) Dick Lapp man, DickBaldwin, Ad Winship, Boy Carruthers,Chick Emslie, and Milt Williams. Just under 70% of the Class gave to the Fund.
SAD NOTE: It was with sadness that the Class of ’42 received word that classmate Shrank A. Baldwin died on August 3, 1970. (Further details are carried in the obituary column of this or a subsequent issue). Frank gave of the best years of his life in service to his country!
HAPPY NOTE: Class President Dick Lippman has been honored with the Dart- mouth Alumni Award, sponsored by the Alumni Council for long and effective service to Dartmouth, with career and civic distinc- tions also considered. His trophy is an exact replica of the Wentworth Bowl originally given to Eleazar Wheelock by Royal Governor John Wentworth at the first commencement in 1771. Few of the many loyal alumni have labored so diligently and effectively for the College.
Jim Mulligan, who joined The Stanley Works in 1945 as a management trainee, has moved up another notch on the executive ladder and has just been named general manager of Stanley Industrial Hardware, one of the firm’s ma- jor divisions. For the past four years he had been general manager of the Stanley-Artex division, after a series of positions as quality control superinten- dent, manufacturing manager, and divisional superintendent in the hardware and indus- trial hardware divisions.
