1936

Autumn and the new school year guides us back into the familiar patterns so briefly interrupted by summer. Change is always a feature of the new season and this column hasn't escaped. As your new secretary and a novice in this department, I hope I can continue the fine work of Barry Sullivan who has served the Class so faithfully as secretary the past three years. On behalf of the executive committee and classmates I extend to Barry our thanks and appreciation.

Travel linked with education is exciting news these days. Dick and Dodie Taylor's daughter, Barbara, sailed for Frankfort, Germany, on August 17. Under an AFS scholarship she will spend her senior high school year with the family of Dr. Hans Elbrecht. Frank and Gerry Kappler's son, Frank, will be in Rouen for his junior year exchange from St. Lawrence. Another junior abroad will be Tom and Jean Parker's daughter. Nancy. She will exchange Smith College for the University of Geneva, Switzerland.

Ken Wilson has been as popular on the financial page this summer as Barry Goldwater has been on the front page. In addi- tion to his duties as chairman of Avco Corp. his talents are in demand as a director by many prominent corporations. His most recent appointment was to the board of Central and South West Corporation, a Chicago public utility. The August 22 issue of Business Week included an appraisal of the Avco Corp. and its fight to improve profits under Ken's direction. Ed Brooks has also taken on additional duties as a director of the Cities Service Company. In the spring Ed became president of Columbian Carbon Co., the organization he joined in 1936. Fred Kneip, general manager of the Container Division of Union Bag-Camp Paper Corp., New York, is also serving his industry as a director of the Fibre Box Association. We have not escaped the political news in the heat of summer - especially in New England. Dick Treadway declined to run for re-election as Republican National Committeeman from Massachusetts, a post he has held since 1962. The New York Daily News ran a lead story on the New Hampshire Sweepstakes. It quoted Joe Millimet as counsel for Gov. John W. King and stated that he was still "juggling" the legal problems. Politics will also occupy much of Ray Dorsey's attention in his new assignment as chief editorial writer of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

In the field of education Louis Benezet continues to distinguish himself as the recently inaugurated president of the Claremont Graduate School and Research Center, Claremont, Calif. Ludwig Zuber is principal of Cherry Lawn School, Darien, Conn., with his home in Westport. DavisJackson at Dartmouth is now known as associate director of admissions with responsibility for special projects such as foreign students and transfers. Larry Marx is also serving the College as chairman of the Alumni Council's committee on Class Gifts. Larry had been active in the Dartmouth Medical School fund raising campaign in 1960.

If any of our sons are in the U.S. Marines, they might bump into Brigadier General John Bouker. He is assistant commander of the 2d Marine Division at Camp Lejeune, N.C. On the other coast Budd Schulberg has taken up residence again in Hollywood with his actress-wife, Geraldine Brooks. Budd has been commissioned by Jerry Wald to write the script for Robert Kennedy's book, "The Enemy Within."

Clarence Mark as partner in James M. Kittleman and Associates, 209 South La Salle St., Chicago, stands ready to assist in organization planning, analysis, and executive recruitment. Art Toan renders similar services in New York as partner in charge of advisory services at Price Waterhouse. He co-authored "Decision Making — Art or Science" which appeared in the May-June issue of Management Services. Ed Shapiro is in charge of the New York manufacturing operations of Maryland Cup Corp. where his door is marked for the vice president and director. He admits he is struggling to break 100 on the golf course. The flood of beersponsored TV sports spectaculars on golf must deepen the inferiority complex of the weekend golfer. A. Heaton Underhill is also interested in the great outdoors. He is assistant director of the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, Dept. of the Interior. In this capacity he engages in nation-wide planning and in cooperative services in outdoor recreation with state and local governments. JimPollock as chief geologist with Calumet and Hecla, Inc. has been outdoors in Baja California, Mexico, exploring for copper. Although Boyce Price labors in the canyons of Madison Ave. as vice president and account supervisor for McCann Erickson, he beats a hasty five o'clock retreat to Pound Ridge, where his home is perched on the side of a cliff.

This is the year for politics and WaltMalby advises that he is an active member of the Republican Club of Indiana. Walt is fabrication manager of the Warrick Works of Alcoa and he lives in Evansville. Although the campaign will be in full swing in October, the Princeton-Dartmouth game in Hanover is also of headline caliber. The Class of 1936 will be at the Bonnie Oaks that weekend of Oct. 10 for an impromptu get-together. Brint and Doris Scborer plan to be on hand as well as the class executive committee. August 8 was D day at the Schorers' on Lake Winnipesauke. We hope someone remembered the camera.

The summer has not been without its social news. Don and Anne Robfoins were in Barre, Vt., for the marriage of their son, Henry '61, to Carol Saia, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. John L. Saia. Don has recently accepted new responsibilities at the Singer Company. He is head of the company's new industrial products division in charge of production, development, manufacturing, U.S. marketing, and worldwide distribution of Singer industrial sewing machines and allied equipment.

Nantucket was the setting for the wedding of Roy and Nina Coppedge's daughter, Wendy, to Alfred F. Santon 3d.

Our class felt a special closeness to Ernest Martin Hopkins. I am sure each of us remembers sitting opposite him as he signed our matriculation certificate and welcomed us to Dartmouth. We shall miss him as we miss the removal of each human bridge with our past. Another old Hanover friend died that same week, Miss Ruby Daggett. She was the lady who sat in the far corner of the Dartmouth Bookstore. She had a strong love for Hanover and Dartmouth. Her home at 20 West Street was a college home for Sam Morse, Dick Crosby, and many others.

Our sympathy is extended to Dan and JoSchwartz. Their son, Alan, was killed in Switzerland this summer while mountain climbing. Alan was to enter M.I.T. this fall. Dan is assistant administrator of the Montefiore Hospital, the Bronx.

I would welcome a word from you - so would the rest of the class.
