1921

Douglas F. Storer in Clearwater, Fla., has sent us a message outlining his current activities in newspapers, radio, television, books, and magazines. First he contracted with Simon and Schuster to turn out a paperback of People,Places and Things from his daily newspaper column. It sold so well that he was asked to put out six new books. Most of the material comes from 45 years of varied travel and 35 years of radio and television. His Amazing but True books will include Amazing but True Animals to be published in April, and in August, Amazing but True Presidents. In 1976 they will cover royalty, sports, postal service (including stamps), dogs of America, and women.

The Associated Press syndicated his "Importance of one Vote" series, coast to coast. There is also a new television series on Amazing but True Mysteries. Through Ort Hicks Doug visited Bob McMannis '39 of Readers Digest, president and head of broadcast activities. Another Dartmouth man, S. Heagan Bayles '33, chairman of the board of SSC and B is having his firm work on the titles and material. The firm occupies eight floors in a new skyscraper on Third Ave., New York City.

Jack Hubbell has been elected vice president of the Marketing Policy Institute of Washington, D.C. The primary mission of this non-profit organization is to work with government agencies in behalf of manufacturers to protect the interests of the public. Previous to this assignment he was chairman of the board of Brand News Foundation, former president of the National Association of Bedding Manufacturers, a life director of the Sales Executives of N.Y. and president of the Home Furnishing Council.

The winter sports season at Dartmouth has been disastrous outside of skiing, with the hockey and basketball having.the worst losses in many years. We guess that they are waiting for the new sports arena which will be opened this coming fall with plenty of spectator seats and replacing Alumni Gym for basketball and Davis Rink for hockey. The latter will be taken over for the Hanover High School games and practice since they have no ice facilities over there.

A new financial drive is being bandied around for Hopkins Center which apparently needs more money to operate. The Hanover Inn has been refurbished, particularly the dining room, and a new cooling system will be installed. Presumably the rates will advance to pay for all this.

We would like to know the first Twenty-Oner who has a granddaughter who has been admitted to Dartmouth as a freshman and plans to graduate from here. It would be a "first" and should be a milestone for the lucky coed. Maybe she will earn a doctorate!

A few changes of addresses of classmates during the past year include the following; Frederick E. Benton has moved to Pasadena, Calif., from Philadelphia, Pa.; Arthur C. Foley has changed his California address from Panorama City to Reseda; Edward Luedka has moved from Atlantic Highlands, N.J., to live with his daughter in Fairhaven, N.J.; LawrenceNardi has moved to Annapolis, Md., where his daughter lives; and Ryland Rothschild has left Alexandria, Minn., for the sunney climes of Phoenix, Ariz.
