1946

It's hard to believe that a full month has gone by and I'm already a few days late in writing this column. One thing is certain - in a college town the time really rolls by and so much goes on that it's hard to keep up with even a small portion of it. We've already had two football weekends, the student body seems to have settled down to its normal pace, and everyone seems to be in the position of trying to catch up with himself.

Having been in the outside world for many years, I know it's the same story everywhere and the new reports on our classmates verify this fact. Jud Hannigan is on the move again but it seems as if he is running out of rungs to climb. Having moved to New York to corporate headquarters of the International Paper Company only two years ago, he has since become vice president for planning and has now been elected to the Board of Directors. Congratulations on the big move, Jud.

Another man who has made the directorial ranks is Paul Lux, vice president and general manager of the Lux Time Division in Waterbury, Conn., and now a director of Robertshaw Controls, the parent firm. Paul joined Robertshaw in 1961 when they acquired the Lux Clock Manufacturing Company and was elected a 1964. Paul and Sue have two sons and a daughter.

Bill Miller, a resident of Drexel Hill, Pa., is a project manager for the Atlantic Refining Company. He is also a trustee of the Wanamaker Institute of Industries and an officer in the Philadelphia Systems and Procedures Association. Judging from this report, it's hard to imagine when he finds time to work. In the last three years Bill has traveled to eight foreign countries and taken motor tours through 45 of these United States. I don't have any more details but it sounds as if he has had an exciting three years.

Dr. Don Behnnken has been made an executive at the American Cyanamid Company. He is now the manager of the Mathematical Analysis Section of the company's Stamford Research Laboratories and has a broad background in mathematics and physics. After Dartmouth, Don received his B.S. in Physics at Yale and his M.B.A. in Management at Columbia. He went on for his Ph.D. in Experimental Statistics at North Carolina State College and has since been the author of a number of technical publications in the field of experimental statistics.

We're getting to the age where our sons and daughters are going off to college and one report involves John Copenhaver III, son of John Copenhaver Jr. here in Hanover. This Dartmouth son is now a freshman at Colorado College, and reports back from the west indicate great satisfaction. Incidentally, we would be delighted to hear of other sons and daughters in college at the present time.

Charlie Duncan, a principal assistant United States attorney, has been appointed General Counsel of the new Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in Washington. Working under chairman Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr., Charlie is taking another big step forward in his career in Washington.

Though I did not have the pleasure of seeing him, Stan Waterman stopped in Hanover this spring on his way to a lecture date and had his first look at the Hopkins Center. He said, It is such a fine addition to the campus and I was so proud of its scope and imagination that I experienced a small personal revival of college spirit." His letter described his recent activities and he certainly keeps busy. The accompanying picture taken on Tikehau Atol in the Tuamotu Islands, French Polynesia, shows an expedition led by another Dartmouth man, Perry Gilbert '34, on the right, and Stan on the left. The three handsome characters in the middle are the chiefs of the villages on the Atol. Stan's documentary films continue to win awards and his last one "Man Looks to the Sea" won three top awards in a film festival in Britain earlier this year. This summer he worked with a Mexican archeological team on the Yucatan Peninsula filming Mayan ruins and four Spanish shipwrecks from the early 18th century. He next takes his wife and three children to Tahiti where he will live and work while filming this area. Sounds like an idyllic existence. Thanks for your letter, Stan.

Ray Stearns has been appointed manager of the Burlington, Vt., branch office of Connecticut General Life Insurance Company. Ray who is a member of the President's Club, the company's top prestige group for agents, worked out of the Burlington office prior to his appointment as manager.

Ed Lane-Reticker was elected to his second term as president of the West Hartford's Taxpayers' Association in that city. Ed is an assistant vice president of Connecticut Bank and Trust Company and obviously is very active in community affairs.

Sandy Treat has been appointed National Sales Manager, Mill Products, of the Alcan Aluminum Corporation. Sandy has been in several of the Alcan operations since he joined the company in 1950 and will now move from Riverside to Shaker Heights Ohio.

That's it for now. By this time next month we'll know whether the Big Green is headed for the Ivy League title or merely scaring heck out of the other teams.

Best regards from the hills.
