1933

Careful readers of the May Alumni Magazine would have seen on page 53 an ad for Kendal at Hanover where Jack Manchester is pictured on the links doing his bit for his new abode. Bent over his ball with his putter firmly grasped, he shows the same concentration we used to see on the hockey rink in earlier days. When we talked with him the other day, he told us that he was coping with that aortic aneurism and his respiratory problem, but that he still got out on the golf course from time to time.

He also gave us word on fellow Kendalians Waxy Wright—off on a European trip with a son; Nat Leonard—taking it easy with a vengeance; and Jeff Davis—hanging in there with great fortitude.

Wright sent us a report on the class officers meeting where he substituted for your secretary. Manchester, Fuller Ripley, and Ned Lord also attended. They found the meetings informative, but the dinner too long and noisy. Stan Colla '66, son of our own Stan, now VP for Development and Alumni Affairs, gave a report discussing the reauthorization of ROTC by the Trustees and the satisfactory status of Fundraising activities. BettyFoster planned to attend but was prevented at the last minute. However, Anne Lord substituted for her.

Rip has done an excellent job as class agent, already exceeding our '33 goal of $73,000 while receiving long-distance advice and encouragement from President Sprague Ojai, Calif.

The Lords decided to desert the frigid charms of Limington Maine, last winter and found the salubrious breezes of Florida greatly to their taste. In their little red Ford Escort, they visited several classmates and talked with others by phone. Ned provided the details in his excellent May newsletter.

On a recent trip to the West Coast, Rosemary and I had the pleasure of hearing Amy Weston, the daughter of Paul Weston and Jo Stafford, sing with the band of Bill Eliott. Eliott is successfully reviving the big-band sound, and Amy belted her songs out beautifully in the true Stafford tradition.

At a dinner party recently we met a distinguished theologian, Father Gerry Sloyan, who had worked at Temple with Bob James and especially with Bob's wife, Norma Arnold. Sloyan was high in praise for their dedicated contribution to the welfare of students at the University.
