1930

Editor Charlie Widmayer's "Dartmouth 1930, a 40th Year Report" is a tough act for a magazine columnist to follow. We recommend it to your careful reading. And we likewise recommend for the last time that you join in the fun by making the Hanover scene on June 15.

Fred Watson has been in South America for three weeks, dividing his time among Chile, Argentina, and Brazil. Horace Weston has been elected executive vice president of Plymouth-Home National Bank. Lee Chilcote and Pat Weaver are members of the board of governors of Sun Valley Ski Club. Bob McClory recently attended the 58th conference of the Inter-Parliamentary Union at Monaco. Bob is vice chairman of the Union's Educational, Scientific and Cultural Committee. Mary and Herm Schneebeli have announced the engagement of their daughter, Marta to Reverdy Johnson. They will be married in San Francisco in early April.

Unlike the majority of the class which seems to seek warmer climes, Al Smith is making his trek northward. "Some changes here. All daughters married and we have three grandchildren. Here at Penury Priory just Annie and Duke (that fabulous Great Dane), and I remain. We have bought a place up near Peterborough, N. H., and if health and resources permit, will move back there along about May or June. Then the long-deferred retirement will become a fact, although I do plan to work a few days a week in Peterborough. Of course it is not too easy to be casual about the move, since Annie and I have made similar plans many times, but have been forced by circumstances to abandon them. Matter of fact, I'd be lying if I didn't admit that we are tremendously excited by the entire project. The place is sort of on the southeast shoulder of Pack Monadnock (which all DOC veterans will remember), and comprises some twenty acres. During the past few years Annie and I have become as active as possible in matters of conservation of natural resources, ecological research, etc., etc., — so we plan to make our 20 acres a bird sanctuary and wildlife refuge. Accordingly, if you have any birds or other denizens down there in Little Rhody that need a home, send 'em up to us. All skunks must be de-scented. No snakes."

Ray Bernhardt writes "in the past several years, I have changed my life around a good bit. I had moved to Buffalo, with my family, in 1948 to take a position with a textile firm. Found it to be not my cup of tea and left in 1953. I had been in the securities business in Boston prior to the war, after graduation from Harvard Business School so started up my own firm in 1953 and continued it until the fall of 1965. I had been teaching, on a part-time basis, at the University of Buffalo and Canisius College since 1957 and finally decided to go into full-time teaching at the college level. In September, 1965 I closed up my securities business and began a Ph.D. program in Business Administration at the American University in Washington, D. C. After two years I completed all my course work and examinations. In September 1957 I started full-time teaching at the University of Akron (Ohio) as Assistant Professor of Finance. My home has continuously been in Buffalo so I've done my share of commuting. To get closer to Buffalo, I changed to the Rochester Institute of Technology in September 1958 as Associate Professor of Finance and am completing my second year here. I com- mute back and forth to Buffalo, though not daily by any means. I have two sons, Ray Jr. (25 yrs.) and Dick (21). Ray Jr. spent four years in the Army, of which 3½ years were in Germany, and is now working in electronics for Sylvania. Dick is in his fourth year at Antioch (spent his third year in France) and currently is on a co-op job in Boston."

The American Hockey Coaches Association has voted to name the trophy now presented to the small college coach of the year in memory of the late Eddie Jeremiah, confirming our admiration for 1930's great hockey coach.
