1945

The new year opens with a threat of gasoline shortages coupled with another winter of heavy snows - at least for those of us who live in the northeast section of the country. Maybe it will mean abandoning the gasoline-powered snow blower and getting back to basics like the shovel and old fashioned muscle power. New Year's resolutions are another way of getting back to basics, like continuing to support Dartmouth in its capital fund drive and annual alumni fund drive. More specifically, it is sending your $10 deposit for our 35th reunion on June 9-11, 1980, to Steve Hull, Box 1945, Westboro, Mass. 01581; your class dues to John Osborn, P.O. Box 1945, East Rochester, N.Y. 14445 (I wonder what the first three digits in the zip code stand for?); and news of yourself to your class secretary listed at the top of these notes. All you need is a little old fashioned muscle, unless you're full of gas!

Harry Hampton sent along news of PaulCaravatt, illustrious '45, who has been named as the only non-Eli member of Yale University's Board of Communications. This body has responsibility to Yale's trustees and officers to assure effective and successful communications with the complete Yale community, student body, City of New Haven, and alumni. In connection with the student body, the Communications Board oversees the conduct and operations of all communications media (and will no doubt have a grand time deciding if X-rated cable TV gets piped into New Haven dormitories) operated by the undergraduates. Paul's appointment this past summer comes in deserved recognition of the pioneer work he has been doing throughout the 1970s developing video-tape cassettes and their related hardware as a useful, economic, and highly effective communications instrument for business and in- dustry, government and education. Let's hope that Dartmouth takes note of this. Paul is president and owner of Caravatt Communications, Inc., 551 Fifth Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10017.

We are pleased to report that Trudie Butler, widow of William S. Butler, has agreed to become an honorary member of our Class and hopes to participate in some of our class activities soon. She decided to enter politics and is now a state representative from Rockingham County, District 7, in New Hampshire. Trudie hopes to influence, "in some small measure" (her words), things for the better the next two years and hopefully years after that. In her letter she states that she has much to learn that she was unable to gain from her husband by osmosis. He majored in political science!

Word comes from Al Gluek that he retired from teaching in 1976 and now lives east of Orford, N.H., on an old farm peopled also by wife Ellen, several hunting dogs, quail, partridge, chickens, and such. Al and Ellen both delight in their new environs and would welcome any '45 to visit. Just head for Orford and then turn east a hoot and a holler.

Carter Lockwood has been made a trustee of Paul Smiths College, Paul Smiths, N.Y. He and his wife sold their shop "The Studio," in Lake Placid, N.Y. (arts and crafts) after ten years. Their daughter Frances was married on September 15 to Brownell Bailey of Milton, Mass. As she is their only daughter of five children, this was a big doing. Carter was also recently made a director of Farmers National Bank, Lake Placid, N.Y.

Gerald Hoyt Jr. writes that after spending many years in Vail, Colo., he has moved back to Salt Lake City where he is working as a registered representative with the investment firm of Foster and Marshall. He hopes to get back to Hanover for a visit next year after so many years of absence. (A ten-dollar deposit for our 35th reunion in 1980 will enhance that hope!) This, of course, is another reference to the New Year's resolutions mentioned at the start of these notes. '45 out!
