1938

For those of us who managed to be in Hanover for the weekend of October 10 it was a memorable homecoming. After spending Friday night at a ski lodge in Killington Basin and groping my way to the valley though a dense fog I arrived a bit late at the class officers' breakfast meeting at Hanover Inn. Present were President Paul Urion,Treasurer Gus Southworth, Gil Tanis,Jim Briggs, Bob Manegold, Dawk Dawkins, and myself. We discussed in true bull session style, fund-raising, admissions policies, permissiveness, and co-education. The only thing we all agreed on was that it was stimulating to be able to sound off to interested listeners. The meeting took place in a convention type room on the second floor and by far the most avid listener was the waitress who happened to be a Smith graduate working her way through a graduate degree. She seemed amazed that we could "relate" so positively to undergraduate thinking. The meeting broke up just in time for catching President Kemeny's address to alumni in Spaulding Auditorium at Hopkins Center. As could be predicted the President mentioned the financial problems which the College faced and led up to the question of women at Dartmouth. By the time you read this it will be no scoop that there is a plan to work out an exchange program with Wellesley which is described by the President as a prestigious institution convenient to the cultural offerings of Boston and about two hours from Hanover "as the student flies."

On to the Gil Tanis back lawn pre-game picnic where eating, drinking, and reuning was enjoyed by the following classmates most of whom had their wives who looked more like daughters. Al Pettoruto, Paul Thorpe, Art King, Dick Anderson, Tom Herbert, Alex Jones, Bill Lyle, Carl Von-Pechman, Bud Walls, Jack Lutz, Brad Jenkins, Ray Ammarel, Herb Harries, and Warren Flynn. A short walk to the stadium and I believe I glimpsed in the class section. Bob Jones, Blaine Mallory, Whitey Mays, Don Clarke, Phil Merritt, and George Kingsbury. The score is history by now. Revenge is sweet.

Gus Southworth related to me a sad message received from Betty Quilty, "I'm sending this along for Dan. My Dan had a stroke on September 28—and will certainly appreciate all the prayers and good wishes from his classmates. He's in Doctors' Hospital in Coral Gables, Fla., and doing as well as can be expected. P.S. He cannot speak but hums the Dartmouth songs."

Jim and Betty Miller are edging their way north with Jim's appointment as controller for the Dravco Corporation's Light Metals Department in Pittsburgh, Pa., after several years with the Keene Corporation in Parkersburg, W. Va., where he was vice president and controller for their Metal Construction Products division. Jim attended Tuck and Harvard Business School, and is a past president of the Parkersburg-Marietta chapter of the National Association of Accountants.
