1936

Yale in Hanover was a good excuse for a gathering of '36 both before and after the game. The Class executive committee met at Dexter's in Sunapee Friday night with Builter, Higbee, Frank Curtis, Johnston, Hofman, Sawyer, Fitzherbert, Stephens, McInis, Bill Wyman, Guibord, Niels Nielsen, Toan, Coronis, England, and Fred Shurts in attendance. Hofman reported a profit on reunion which will go into the class treasury which, incidentally, is in reasonably good condition and able to handle the memorial book program, further contributions to the College in connection. with the Indian program, and any forseeable demand of funds for other purposes, Before the game at Phil and Leslie Mclnnis'home, and after at Dexters, other members of the Class showed up including Morton, Millimet, Shorer, Keller, Laforrest Thompson, Boaker, Sykes, Niss, Parker, Ferris Mack, Fern aid, Kappler, Aaron, Ballantyne along with assorted wives, children, and friends too numerous to mention. It was also impossible to list others seen at the game.

We have heard that John Wiesman's daughter Mary was recently married to Scott Carter Mary as well as her sister and mother Helen all graduated from Smith. Ruth and Tommy Thompson are planing to attend the wedding of Dick Stowell's son in Albany this weekend. Tommy is a C.P.A. in Burlington, Vt., and hasn't missed a reunion since leaving college. Dick is an assistant professor at Broome Technical College, Binghamton, N. Y. Pep Mir. ie and Ricki missed the Yale game because she was singing the lead in a local production of "The King and I."

This month's news seems to nave more than the normal number of notices about members of the Class who have changed jobs, been promoted, or otherwise distinguished themselves so that we are interested in hearing about them. Dick Ruby, who obtained his law degree from Harvard after Dartmouth, has now joined the New Bedford, Mass., law firm of Desmarais, Carey, Burke and Fleming, after many years in Texas and New Bedford with the Acushnet Rubber Co. Dick and his wife Ann have five children and five grandchildren.

Since attending our 35th this June, Don Sutherland has left the business world where he was personnel director of the N. H. Ball Bearing Co. in Peterborough, N. H., to become Director of Placement at New England College in Henniker, N. H. He will be responsible for career counseling and placement. Don and Ginny have three children, Donald '63, James '66, and Virginia, University of N. H. '69. They have both kept busy with a variety of community activities, Savings Bank trustee, slate advisory committees of Rotary, church choir, etc.

I've been notified recently of a number of address changes and since I don't have much of any current information on these members of the Class, I'll pass them along with the hope that someone will take the time to write and catch us up on what's going on. Dr. Robert Birchall has left the Ochsner Clinic and teaching at Tulane in New Orleans and now lives in Corpus Christi, Tex. Bill Davis keeps the record keepers in Hanover busy because he is in Bartlesville, Okla., in the winter and running Gold Lake Lamp in Ward, Colo., in the summer. Oldest daughter Elise graduated from Kansas U. with a master's from Denver, Susan graduated from Middlebury, while Rob and Charley are still at the books.

Clark Soreason has reversed the usual trend most of as follow as we get older—he has left Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., and moved to Lakewood, Ohio. Blair Rainey and Barb have gone back to Houston after several years in New York City. George Allen's wife Maxic does all the reporting for their family and they seem to like Nashville where George is a chemist for U.S.S. Agrichemicals. They have eight children—six boys and two girls. Maxie reports that they seems to get busier every year as the children get older. They take a camping vacation every summer, winding up on Cape Cod.

In today's mail I received a letter which I think might interest many of you. It was response to my request for an Aegis since I didn't graduate and therefore don't have one. (Obviously it's almost mandatory in this work.) The letter was from our Class Adviser Andrew J. Scarlett who lives at 31 Island Way, Clearwater, Fla. He reported that he had difficulty identifying me because I wasn't in the Aegis, Bob Kable's picture was under my name in the Green Book, and I didn't take Chem 1 and 2 under him. We did have a conversation about a semester's probation. He graciously offered me his Aegis and I suspect he would welcome letters from the many members of the Class he knows and remembers from many years ago.

A new electric scoreboard at Chase Field, presented by the Class of 1937, wasdedicated to the memory of Gordon Bennett '37, captain of the 1936 football team,during halftime of the freshman football game with Yale, October 30. Shown fromleft after the unveiling of a memorial plaque are Athletic Director Seaver Peters '54,Dave Camerer '37, Franklin Lynch '38, Pat Holbrook '20, former freshman footballcoach, and Ronald Brown '37. Camerer and Brown were co-chairmen of the fund, towhich teammates and other friends contributed.
