1938
Just to clear up what is pending from the last issue of the MAGAZINE, here are some items that failed to make the June issue:
A nice letter from Bill Norcross USN ret. from Honolulu reports: "The address change in this instance involves my starting a new career with the Bank of Hawaii after 26 years with Uncle Sam's Naval Civil Engineer Corps. I am in mortgage loan.
"My older boy, George (18) is off to college - didn't make Dartmouth. Taylor, No. 2 boy, goes next year and Molly now 12 and at St. Andrew's will follow. So I have twelve years of college coming up to be met in nine years - thus the search for more income.
"We are still filled with ideals and enough interest to meet the many new challenges. In truth we are grateful for our many blessings. With the draft card burning, strikes, etc., thrift, hard work, and self-reliance seem old hat - and makes some of us seem to have rocks in our heads. Proudly stated, we still have our Alma Mater."
Bob Linscott of R. W. Linscott Co., Inc., Textiles and Plastics, says: "I have your letter concerning our recent change of address from New York City to Westchester County. This does not mean that we will have to work less hard, but will commute less far. I guess if some of the big companies, such as 'Dawk' Dawkins and IBM can move to the country, so can some of us smaller ones."
A rather elaborate ceremony took place last spring in Milwaukee, involving the completion of a new building for the Marshall and Illsley Bank. Prominent in the festivities was "Skip" French, a vice president of the bank. The actual occasion was the "topping out" of the building, as the final beam, autographed by all the notables, including Skip was hoisted and bolted into place.
From East Longmeadow, Mass., came word from Bob Hennick that his recent change of address "means nothing more than getting out of a nine-room ark to a six on one floor situation." Presently he was planning for the wedding of No. 1 daughter, Susan, in August. No. 2 daughter graduated this June from Longmeadow High School and is going to B.U. as a voice major this fall. "I'm still with General Fibre Box Company Division of Longview Fibre. Mary and I are rather looking forward to reverting to our original twosome by fall with nobody making demands on our time."
From Geneva, N. Y., comes word that Bill Lansberg, for the last four years librarian at Hobart, has been appointed director of libraries at Roosevelt University in Chicago. Roosevelt, a private, non-denominational institution in the heart of downtown Chicago, has an enrollment of 6,600 and plans a rapid increase to 9,000. Founded in April, 1945, it was dedicated a year later by Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt.
Bill's career includes seven years at the University of North Carolina, nine years at Dartmouth, and three years at Elmira College before going to Hobart. He received an A.B. cum laude in French from Dartmouth, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in romance languages from the University of North Carolina. He also holds a professional degree in library science from Simmons College in Boston.
The peripatetic Mooks, Telfer and wife, have checked in with a report on India at the 166th Annual Meeting of the New Hampshire Conference of the United Church of Christ in Pembroke, N. H. Mrs. Mook, the former Jane Day Parker of Des Moines, lowa, is a graduate of Smith College, has studied at the Sorbonne, and has done graduate work at Yale. She has visited India with her husband and their four children on several occasions, while Tel was on extensive overseas service for the United Church Board. Tel has received all sorts of fine tributes from the press for his unselfish service for the underprivileged in the Far East.
A note from Fran Reilly says: "We are transferring to Dallas (Texas) following on the merger of Wilson & Co., Tnc. into LingTemco-Vought, Inc. Henry Beck has been most helpful in our relocation. We have bought a home quite near Hockaday School, and hope to enroll Martha there. Son John is a candidate for St. Mark's of Texas. Incidentally, the Headmaster of Hockaday is a Dartmouth man. Bob Lyle '29." Fran's new address is: 4738 Hallmark Drive, Dallas, Texas 75229.
A note came in from Dean Chamberlin '26, enclosing a snapshot of the reunion of the Pete Talbots and Sandy MacLeods at Sandy's farm in May. Pete is an obstetrician in Woodside, Calif.
"Sox" Calder has added another hat to his already varied collection, - member of the board of directors of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company. His other directorships include National Paperboard Association, American Arbitration Association and Dillon-Beck Manufacturing Company. He is also a director and member of the executive committee of the American Paper Institute and the Fourdrinier Kraft Board Institute. He is a trustee of the Bank of New York and the Institute of Paper Chemistry and is an overseer of the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration.
The news from the world of "furnishing-sportswear" features a long article about the new president of the Mack Shirt Corp.,- David Berliner. The interview in the New York Daily News Record, reveals that Dave was associated with a New York advertising agency from the time of his graduation from Dartmouth until World War II, when he was commanding officer of two minesweepers. Then came a little more advertising until a decision to join his father's firm, the former Edwin E. Berliner Co. of New York. When a partner died, the elder Berliner decided to dissolve the business in 1949, and David Berliner went to Mack.
With the inception of the women's wear division, he was given the merchandising responsibility. Then he took the added responsibilities of sales manager of both men's and women's wear. He became vice-president-sales manager in 1955 and executive vice-president in 1966.
Another member of the class adding to his list of boards of directors is James D.Kingery, elected to a three-year term on the board of directors of the Cambridge (Mass.) Chamber of Commerce. Jim is vice president of W. R. Grace & Co.'s Dewey and Almy Chemical Division in Cambridge. He is also a trustee of Babson Institute and past president of the Babson Institute Alumni Association. He is a member of the Advisory Board for Executive Programs of Boston University College of Business Administration.
News from Indianapolis via the Indiana Business and Industry publication (monthly 6,100) is that there has been a new addition in the actuarial and employee consulting field in the form of Charles R. Keene and Associates Inc.. organized in Detroit in 1966. One of the vice presidents is Charles F.Hathaway. Charley served twenty years in the U.S. Army Finance Corps and retired as a It. colonel in 1961. Since that time he has been active in Indianapolis as a consultant on employee benefit plans.

Social notes: Asher Lans finally took the plunge in June, - Miss Shirley Beatrice Johnson of Wichita, Kan.

Dr. Herb Loring's daughter, Katherine, will be married in September; she and her husband both graduated from Hiram College.
A nice announcement card came in from Walt Dodd, announcing the opening of the Jolly Chef on Route 28 in South Yarmouth, Cape Cod, Mass. Walt says: "Got tired of the rat race; got tired of the weekending; and vacationing from Chicago to the Cape; so I decided to do something about it. Took this restaurant over in June and am now an established Cape Codder, stewing about the weather, the fishing, and summer people, etc., but it's a ball and I love it."
Recent visitors to Hanover over the summer included Chuck Wiggin, here from Rio for a brief vacation before returning for another two years there before transfer to some other overseas post: Bob Ross on from the University of Washington at Pullman; and Roy Duckworth, up here to bring the young hopeful back for early football practice, another Duckworth wearing the Green!
See you at some of the games this fall. When in Hanover, drop in or at least give me a phone call.
