May is one-third sped as I start to write these notes for the June issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. Ordinarily due the second of the month, a dispensation was handed down extending that date by the editor, Charley Widmayer, at the Class Secretary's meeting during Class Officers meeting a week ago. '29 was we" resented by President Duke Barto, Treasurer Jack Hubbard, Class Agent Ed Chinlund. Reunion Chairman Jack Gunther and their wives, Horty, Sue, Polly, and Gerry. Your secretary attended alone while peggy entertained her sisters and brother in Worcester for triple May Day birthday celebration.
My north-bound journey included a stop at St. Anselms College in Manchester connecting with two co-members of the Judicial Portraits Committee of the Worcester Bar Association to look at portraits there by a Boston artist. Among the half dozen portraits to be done is one of Superior Court Justice Allen G. Buttrick of Lancaster, uncle of Gene Orr and Eleanor Coles,Dud and Bill's better halves.
I stopped downtown to say hello to Ken Graf '28 and had a delightful visit and luncheon with him reminiscing of our law school days, cases and trials together and the careers of classmates whom we had followed with interest. I saw Ken's son John who was a classmate of Peter's at Andover and Dartmouth '58. Peter has transferred from Shearman & Sterling to Lazard Freres—a change which permits him to continue in legal work and corporate financing and to get home to Darien in time for dinner five nights a week.
The Class Officers' meeting was highlighted by the introduction of a lengthy resolution opposing coeducation as divisive to alumni solidarity and economically dangerous for the College. A committee selected by the Class Officers' Associations will meet in Hanover during the summer and will develop a program for communicating further with the alumni on this question. Vox populi isn't always Vox dei and infallibility isn't innate to both or either.
I've been in close and frequent contact with Fred Armstrong and" his son David, barristers in Portland, Me., in relation to a private adoption which has engrossed our joint interests and endeavors. It is very comforting to have a knowledgeable and reliable classmate to call on.
Another highlight of the Class Officers' meeting was an exciting ten inning loss to Harvard 2 to 1 with brilliant pitching by Pete Broberg allowing two hits compared with D's seven. I had the privilege and pleasure of Alice and Bob Monahan for company. Between games—D. won the second—a simple and heartwarming dedication took place as Dartmouth's baseball held was named Red Rolfe Field in honor of Dartmouth's outstanding player and gentleman. I wish his friend and our classmate Bede Brisbin could have been present also. The Monahans left Hanover the day after for Champaign, Ill., to see their fifth grandchild, Kathryn Anne Resch, daughter of Linda Resch, 7 lbs-3 oz.
The weekend ended with an enjoyable dinner party given by Trunkie and Ruth Brittan .attended by the Bartos, Hubbards, Chinlunds, Gunthers, Janet Woodbridge, and your secretary. It was a beautiful evening and forerunner to one May's rare Perfect days.
We have word from Art Rose that his son Ronald '52 and Thayer '53 went on to Westinghouse's nuclear program, won a scholarship award, and took his doctorate at pitt award, and took his doctorate Westinghouse announced his appointment as manager systems analysis for the nuclear power plant business. This means protection of the care and safe operating measures in pressurized water reactors. Art and Margaret must be very proud of Ronald whom '29 sends congratulations.
