1932

We should be proud of our '32 prexy Ed Marks. His second recent book, For a Better World, with 135 pages of United Nations posters, is a beautiful collection—colorful, striking, some poignant. His poster exhibition opened with fanfare on December 18 at the U.N. in New York, then Paris, Geneva and elsewhere. Win Smoyer, sources tell me, is long retired from being a national park ranger and is still going strong at Alhambra, California, near L.A. Ruth (Mrs. John Lee Potter) mentions a couple of days at the Hanover Inn, finding the service and atmosphere as lovely as ever. Their son Dave is well known here on the Monterey Peninsula. After serving on Monterey's architect review board and city council, he now is on the county board of supervisors and California Coastal Commission, which has wide-spreading authority over the states coastline. Correspondence with Frank Ripley '33 brought back to his mind life in Hitchcock with Dick Cleaves and Jack Whitcomb, roommates who penetrated the attic to set up a still, foiling Spud Bray and cutting into Joe Pilver's local monopoly. Morry Hubbard tells me of his sadness at the death of long-time roommate George Orcutt, our class golfer extraordinaire, who was still hitting the fairways at age 90. The local newspapers told in what high regard he was held in his hometown of Corry, Pennsylvania. With little classmate use, our Web site, most easily reached at www.alum.dartmouth.org/classes/32, is being limited to basic data with no current news.
