1932

That was a highly pleasant class Princeton game weekend that Leader Pierpoint set up at the Rutledge Inn on Fairlee's Lake Morey. Those in residence, or in attendance for cocktails and dinner Saturday night, included the Art Aliens, Bill Allyn and son, the Ben Burches, the Ben Drews, the Paul Foxes, the Rod Hatchers, Rog Hofheins, the Ed Lewises, the Don Marcuses, the Jim Moores, the Chuck Owsleys, the Frank Powers, the Ed Smiths, the John Weisenfluhs, the Joe Boldts. Also spotted at the game, a beautifully warm shirtsleeves occasion, were the George Bladworths, the Buzz Burrowses, the Gordon Lanes, the Jim Millers, the Pete Sawyers, and the Bo Wentworths. A year ago Howdy made reservations for the class at the yet-to-be-built Holiday Inn at White River for next year's Penn game. Put it on your calendar.

Also put down for June '72 that that will be the time of '32's fortieth reunion. We daresay we shall have occasion to mention this great coming occasion again.

Dick Cleaves, reporting by postcard on a holiday trip to the Canary Islands that Margo and he made in quest of the right retirement spot, files this useful data: "We found we preferred Tenerife to Gran Canaria because of the profusion of flowers and the lush valleys growing everything from bananas, figs, and papaya to all the fruits and vegetables we know here. And prices . . . read Norman Ford's Bargain Paradises of the World! We confirmed that lovely villas can be found at around $15,000, living is very inexpensive, much less than the Costa del Sol, and it is true that Beefeaters gin comes at slightly more than $1.50 a fifth. Next year we plan to look at Mallorca to compare, and perhaps Portugal." Dick promises that wherever they land, the Dartmouth pennant with martini overlay will be hoisted daily at 5 to signal open house for traveling '32ers.

Thanks to Bill Lieson for sending along an editorial—from, we take it, "The Claremont, N. H., Eagle"—saying "well done" to Bob Buckley upon his retirement as the city's first and only city solicitor, a post he held from 1948 to 1970. The editorial notes that Bob was recently the Chamber of Commerce's unanimous choice as Claremont's Man of the Year. Citing his varied civic performance, it says, "In all these posts he has been cooperative, efficient, helpful, and civic-minded. He's a man to enjoy meeting and working with, whether as a Claremonter or as a stranger." Bob has been succeeded in his city post by son Bob Jr.

Dr. George Hahn writes to tell of the marriage of twin daughter Anne, who has been director of the Cardiac Care Unit in Denver, to Kenneth Powell, a Harvard and Columbia graduate, who is with the U. S. Public Health Service, presently assigned to Kansas City. Bill MacKinney and Joe Searing helped to make the ceremony official. During the summer George was on his annual Project HOPE mission—this time a survey trip to the West Indies. On January 1 he takes office as president of the Philadelphia County Medical Society.

Walt Rushmore has been appointed Assistant Vice President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York which he has been serving in a number of capacities since 1933. Starting as a junior clerk in the foreign department, he managed the collection, cash custody, personnel departments, and most recently the accounting department. In his new position, he has been assigned to administrative services, with responsibility for accounting and management information. Walt and Florence (Keppy) live in Mineola, N.Y.

Jack Pyles reports in after a Jamaica vacation and attendance at the national bankers' get-together in Miami. He was looking forward to going up to Philadelphia from Washington for the Penn game.

Hard on the heels of a card from the Alumni Office that Gordon Mackenzie has moved from New York to San Francisco comes a note from Morry Hubbard explaining why. Gordon has been made president of Ritter-Ardes Inc., a Litton subsidiary, and will also continue as president of Litton's Bank Stationery Division. He and Betty's new address is 235 Montgomery Street, San Francisco. Morry also reports: "Paul Fox and his wife June were carrying on as in college days at Vienna a couple of weeks ago. I had to report them to the manager as their room was next to Lib's and mine."

Anent our ventured thought in last month's column that it is in the world of business that members of the class have predominantly distinguished themselves, Mark Short suggests: "If we agree that excellence in man is measured by the degree to which he left the earth better than he found it, it's a bit too early to reach a definitive conclusion. I think, for instance, of the possible (but unpublicized) contributions by our medical or teaching brethren. It may even turn out, a thousand years from now, that the major excellent characteristic and accomplishment of our class lay in its ability to breed and rear decent, responsible, and productive citizens who, in turn and ad infinitum, followed their parents' example."

Agency for International Development's Mission to Nigeria, points out acritical area for war recovery efforts to Harry Ditchett '47 (left), economic adviserto the country, and Dr. Hildrus Poindexter '27 M, senior medical consultant for theMission.
