1953

With shorter nights and warmer days, spring can't be far behind. It's here! Enough. Despite our North Country heritage, there has been too much shoveling and skidding and not enough skiing and skating.

Back in October, Bernie Sudikoff and Rollie Heyman ran into Paul Corcoran at the Harvard game. Paul started out with us in 1949 but, after the first semester, Dean Morse thought he might do better someplace else. Paul transferred to Notre Dame and then to Harvard, where he graduated with '54. Paul is head of his family's retailing business in Boston, Corcoran's.

Malcolm Moss has been appointed chief of pediatrics at Englewood Hospital in New Jersey. He is heading a staff of 26 pediatricians and expects to expand the regular pediatrics clinic on a more extensive basis as well as to open up within the department additional subspecially pediatric clinics. He would also like to institute pre-hospitalization orientation programs for youngsters (and their parents) scheduled for elective admission. Male has been at Englewood for 14 years after graduating from Harvard Medical School and spending time at Mary Hitchcock, the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York, and the Air Force. Male and his family live in Tenafly, New Jersey.

Last fall, our leader Blake Hering had the pleasure of serving as state finance chairman for Vic Atayeh, the new governor of Oregon who beat the incumbent, Bob Straub '42. Blake's loyalties were torn, but Vic is a conservative Republican businessman who is certainly more tuned to his political leanings than was Bob. As a result of helping, the governor has just appointed Blake to a four-year term on the Port of Portland, which is the governing body consisting of nine commissioners who control the docks, the airport, the port-owned lands, warehouses, etc. It is the largest single economic body in the state. It will be a big challenge, one that Blake is looking forward to. Over Christmas, Blake, Dutch, and the children skied at Mt. Bachelor in Bend, Oregon. The temperature was well below freezing, but the skiing was excellent.

Still more for Phil Beekman. In December he was elected a director of Wheelabrator-Frye Inc. They design and manufacture environmental, energy, and engineered products and make chemicals and specialty products. Phil is also director of the Kroger Company and serves on the Board of Managers of the Vanderbilt YMCA in New York.

All of the bad weather in Western Massachusetts has at least been a blessing for some. Paul Bousquet has had a banner year filled with continuous deep powder at Bousquet's Ski Area in Pittsfield. And Larry Garvin had an outstanding season with snow tires from his retail and wholesale tire distributorship in Wakefield, Mass.

in December, at the head agent's meeting in Hanover, our Class was innundated with awards for outstanding reunion giving performance. They were made in the name of Head Agent Dick Joslin (shown here) and his co-chairman, PaulPaganucci, but they are for the entire Class. First was the Roger C. Wilde 1921 Reunion Award "in recognition of the extraordinary achievement in setting a new 25th reunion record of $750,000 under the reunion giving program for the 1978 Alumni Fund Campaign." Second was the Class of 1938 Reunion Record Trophy "in recognition of achieving the largest dollar total in a reunion year - $750,000 - in the 1978 Alumni Fund Campaign." Third, the Joshua A. Davis Trophy, "in recognition of the greatest dollar improvement by a class in a reunion year in the 1978 Alumni Fund Campaign."

Don Smith and his mini-reunion committee are hard at work. It is not too early to start thinking about October 26-27 when Cornell comes to Hanover for the Dartmouth Night Weekend. We have taken over the entire Norwich Inn. Write now for reservations.

Well, that's it for this month.
