1938

The August issue of Forbes Magazine carries an interview with Sox Calder, chairman and president of Union Camp Corporation, a bellwether of the paper industry. The article includes a picture of Sox, and, unless it was taken quite a while ago,' he looks better preserved than many of us '34-plus years after graduation. Another member of our Class who carries his years lightly is our treasurer, Gus Southworth. Gus and Dorothy stopped in to see us at the end of a vacation spent at Alex and Libby Jones' summer cottage at Friendship, Me., a couple of peninsulas east (down the coast) from here. The South-worths were accompanied by Allison, their 2½-month-old daughter, and their pride and joy.

Other '38 visitors to Darmariscotta over the summer (which isn't as long ago as this is being written as it will be when you read it) were Alex and Libby themselves, back from having enjoyed the scenic beauties of New Brunswick, Alex having also climbed Mt. Katahdin in Baxter State Park; and Giland Fran Tanis, who were on their way to visit George and Ruth Colton on Monhegan Island, after which Gil and Fran were heading for their own vacation on Cape Cod.

The inevitably long lead time from class notes promulgation to publication makes for complications, since the secretary can't say whom he will have seen at events that haven't taken place as he writes, though they will have occurred before you read this. But the Yale, Columbia, Cornell, and Penn games should still be ahead of us after these notes appear. Your secretary hopes that many of you will attend those games. He himself hopes to catch the Columbia contest in Hanover and that he'll see many of you there. For the other games, I trust that you'll let me know what classmates you saw before, at, and after the games.

I'm indebted to the Alumni Records Office, as for many favors, for news that Karl Hill, formerly dean of Tuck School, and presently dean of the School of Business and Public Administration and the Graduate School of Business Administration, Washington University, St. Louis, was elected a director of the St. Louis whosesaler, Wetterau Foods, Inc.

Probably not many of us remember Milo Peck, who was with us only briefly at Dartmouth before transferring to Wesleyan. It is, however, with deep regret that I report his passing last summer. The account of his civic achievements from his home-town, Windsor, Conn., newspaper, should make us proud to have had him as a classmate, if only for a short time. Milo was Mayor of Windsor for 11 years and a member of the town council for 16 years. An Army veteran of World War II and subsequently assistant purchasing agent for the Travelers Insurance Co., he had been named Citizen of the Year by the Windsor Post of the VFW a week before his death.

Social notes from the Granite State include word of the wedding of our class president Paul Urion's daughter Kathy last spring. Bob Feineman was there, as were Dick Cooper '37, Charlie Varney '35, and the bride's brother, Henry Urion III '69. Belated but nonetheless sincere best wishes to the bride and congratulations to the groom. Paul also reports that DawkDawkins is now a permanent resident of Barnard, Vt. Dawk has a son in the Class of '76.

From Hanover Ted Thorne sends word that John Emerson is continuing his recovery from a major operation last spring, John has surely had a long siege. The very best wishes of the Class are extended to him, our first class secretary.

Bob Stix was at the A.M.C. Mizpah Hut at the southern end of the Presidential Range in mid-September. Your secretary didn't meet him there, but my son George '73, who was leading a freshman trip, did.

A couple of months ago I had occasion to talk with Nick Stronach, a resident of Marblehead, Mass. He had no changes in his family or business circumstances to report. Nick is an owner of the Royal Tape Co., a family concern manufacturing industrial adhesive tapes.

It's pretty old news, but it's good news and a pleasure to convey to any classmates who don't already know it, that WarrenChivers was inducted into the United States Ski Association Hall of Fame last fall. A tribute to him by Frank Elkins, the dean of American ski reporters during the thirties and forties, the years of Chiv's competitive preeminence, appeared in SkierMagazine and was read at his Hall of Fame induction ceremonies.

Last month's Class Notes were devoted almost exclusively to your secretary's comments on your comments on my letter to the Class regarding the Dartmouth Indian symbol. Since those notes were prepared, quite a few more of you have written, and the '38 tally now stands at 30-plus in support of the preservation, or retention, of our Indian symbol, to two supporting its discontinuance. Paul Urion has called a meeting of our class executive committee (which meeting will have taken place before these notes appear). I am sure that the question of how to recognize and make effective the wishes of the apparently overwhelming majority of the Class will have been discussed at that meeting.
