1942
For four successive issues, January through April, the ALUMNI MAGAZINE is running 16-page sections devoted to the Alumni College lectures. This has put more than the customary strain on space in the magazine, therefore class secretaries (yours included) have been cooperating by staying a bit under the word limit. If you have been reading our columns we thought you may have noticed ... and wondered. Even when we get back to normal in next month's issue the columns will not run quite as long as previously, at the editor's request, probably because each succeeding year means that an additional class must be included, not to mention important cost factors which become more crucial each year.
Have you ever thought of flying a P-51 Mustang from California to the Philippines via Alaska, Midway, Wake Island and Guam? Our Jim Froude thought about it and did it, which qualifies him as the Class of 42's "Latter Day Lindbergh"! In a note accompanied by a picture which goes far toward proving his feat, both of which were sent to us by Milt Williams, Jim had this to say: "I am a bit upset at some of the goings on at Dartmouth. I believe they should have retained ROTC as long as enough students wanted it. It is volunteer. Still living in Manila and flying for a living. I was back in the U.S.A. briefly in September. Ferried a P-51 Mustang back to P. I."
Warren E. Carlson, assistant news editor of the "Albany (N. Y.) Knickerbocker News," has been named news editor. Warren looks every bit the part of a news editor. He has been with the paper since 1957 and has received several Hearst writing awards. Also he has been a newspaperman for most of the time since leaving college, with time out for service in the Army Air Corps in World War 11. The Carlsons live in Schenectady with their three teenage sons.
The news from Wall Street is that BernieTeichgraeber has been elected a member of the Board of Governors of the American Stock Exchange. He will serve in the capacity of a floor governor of the 32-member policy-making body. A partner of Reynolds & Co., which he joined last year, he was formerly a vice president of Blair & Co. and from 1949 to 1967 was a partner of Thompson & McKinnon. With nine children, he and Alice have more than passing interest in a rising market.
Big Ed McLaughlin has resigned from a $32,000-a-year job as general counsel of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. Ed will join the law firm of Herrick, Smith, Donald, Farley and Ketchum. One of the firm's members is Charles C. Cabot, former board chairman of the MBTA. Ed was appointed to the authority by Governor Volpe in 1962. He was a former lieutenant governor and president of the Boston City Council. The McLaughlins have four sons and a daughter and live in Jamaica Plain. During World War II Ed was a Navy lieutenant in the Pacific, where his duty brought him in close contact with John F. Kennedy. He later helped Kennedy with his political campaigning.
A well-known member of the class, SidBull of Newtown Square, Pa., writes to alert us to the news that Charles A. Gibbons has been admitted as a member of the consulting engineering firm of. Havens and Emerson, Limited, of Cleveland, East Paterson, N. J., and New York City. The Gibbonses have a teenage son and daughter and have been living in Brooklyn.
Sid himself has done yeoman work with Gulf Oil Corporation for many years, having joined them in 1946. He "has been through many of the chairs" with the firm and recently has been doing some interviewing which he says he has found interesting. Back home at the ranch Sid reports "nothing startling." He spent an evening with two '44's last fall in Washington, D. C., Don Burnham and Dick Whiting and wives, while attending a seminar in that city.
A final word to remind those of you who have not mailed your $10 class dues check to hard-working treasurer Dick Burns ... for the year 1969-70. Your check, made payable to "Dartmouth 1942" not only pays for the annual subscription to the ALUMNIMAGAZINE (total class charge of $2,078 for 1969-70) but helps our 1942 treasury. So far Dick reports sadly that only 350 dues returns are in compared to 375 for 1968-69.
...The last mailing (the 4th sent by our treasurer) was to 78 members of the class whom we are strongly depending upon to help. Dick's address is 126 Peele Road, Nashua, N.H.
Secretary, 184 West Clinton Ave. Tenafly, N.J. 07670
