We held up the preparation of this column until November 8, in the hope that we could report happy results for Mai McLane's bid for the governorship of New Hampshire. No such luck, but Mal made a great race of it; he is,' as you know, Mayor of Concord, and it was only on September 22 that he announced his candidacy, as an independent, in the gubernatorial contest. We were in Concord five weeks later (visiting daughter Hillary at St. Paul's) and Mal's popularity—and campaign-were evident everywhere. All is not lost, Mal; we have friends named McLane (no relation) in Locust Valley, and your stickers will adorn their auto bumpers for months to come.
Col. Richard Trefry reports that he is still moving around with the Army; he is now chief of staff for the 1st Cavalry Division, at Fort Hood, deep in the heart of you-know-where. Dick, our last home address for you is 14 South Street, Marblehead, Mass.; should we put a new one on file?
A note from George Little mentions that he recently arranged a delightful return to Hanover, where his sons are much involved. Brad is a senior and captain of the lightweight crew, and Jeff is a sophomore, playing lacrosse. Daughter Cindy is a junior at Hanover High, and the oldest boy, Ricky, is attending Cornell Graduate School. Wouldn't we all like to live at 73 East Wheelock Street?
Add Gene Bokor to the list of Freshman Fathers; son Bruce matriculated with the Class of '76 (that's the spirit) Daughter Jill is at Wheaton, and Peter at home with the Bokes.
A recent issue of The Bulletin makes note that the coeds at the College have been responding wholeheartedly to a Questionnaire as to their desires for intramural sports, and plans are afoot to offer them just about every activity available to the men. It is quite possible that there will be all-male touch football teams, all-female touch football teams, and coeducational touch football teams, a plan that ought to please everyone (will play stop with "two hands above the waist?") As for intercollegiate competition, the female scouting report is that "a pretty good squash player is coming in from Oregon."
On the Saturday of the Brown game, October 21—oh, those happy days before Harvard and Yale!—the class committee met at Bob Kimball's. Your secretary was unfortunately unable to attend; we're awaiting a full report from Dave Weld, and will hit the highlights in next month's column. Due to sudden commitments we also had to give away our Yale tickets at the last minute, so can't give the usual report of the many '46s at the Bowl. Maybe it's just as well.
Carl W. ("Bill") Hagelin has been elected area vice president for the eastern U.S.A. by Marshall and Stevens, Inc., one of the nation's largest appraisal and valuation consulting companies. For 17 years, Bill has specialized in appraisals of real estate and intangibles, with special emphasis on mergers and acquisitions. He and wife Lee live in Southport, Conn., and among their four children, John is a student at Dartmouth.
The coveted Presidential "E-Star" award —only the 100th ever presented—has been received by Rocky Mountain Dental Products Company. The presentation was made in Washington by Secretary of Commerce Peterson to Martin Brusse, president of the Denver-based orthodontic materials manufacturer, "for continued superior performance in international marketing activities and outstanding contributions to the Export Expansion Program of the United States of America." Congratulations, Martin; hope you'll be able to make it from Denver for the GTHES (Greatest Thirtieth Hanover's Ever Seen) in '76.
Keep those cards 'n' letters rollin' in.
