REMARKS OF OUR LATE PRESIDENT AT THE PER- FORMANCE OF THE BLACK WATCH (ROYAL HIGHLAND REGIMENT), NOVEMBER 13, 1963

PRESIDENT KENNEDY: Ladies and gentlemen, Am- bassador, Maior Wingate Gray, boys and girls: I t i s a great pleasure for Mrs. Kennedy and myself to wel- come the Black Watch to the White House. We are proud to do so for many reasons - because the Colonel- in-Chief of the Regiment i s the Queen Mother of Great Britain, and this regiment has carried the colon of the British race around the globe for several cen- turies, fighting on the way from Ticonderoga to Water- loo to the Crimea to India - against us on one occa- sion in the war for independence, with us on many occasions - World War I, World War II and Korea. So we are proud to have them here. And we are proud to have them here also because they are a Scottish Regiment and that green and misty country has sent hundreds of thousands of Scottish men and women to the United States and they have been among our finest citizens. We are proud to have them here, finally, because, speaking personal l y, the history of Scot land captured me at a very young age. The United States, in fact a l l of us, love, I suppose, in a sense, lost

causes, and on occasion the history of Scotland has been a lost cause, but in some ways they have tri- umphed perhaps more today than ever before. So we are glad to have you here, Maior, and we regard i t as a great honor to have the representatives of a great country as our guests here at the White House. Thank you.

MAJOR WINGATE GRAY: Mr. President, on behalf of our Colonel-in-Chief, Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, and a l l ranks of the Black Watch, I would like to say how honored we are to be invited here to- day to play for you and al l the assembled audience. We have had a wonderful time in the United States, but wewi l l not have had such a distinguishedaudience as we have here today. On behalf of the Black Watch, I would ask you i f you would accept a small memento of our visit to the White House. It has engraving on the plate. I t i s an officer's dirk.

PRESIDENT KENNEDY: I want to thank the Maior for this presentation of a dirk of the Black Watch. The Major just said that the motto of the Black Watch i s "Nobody wounds us with impunity." I think that i s a very good motto for some of the rest of us. Thank you.

I t was a stirring and memorable occasion, and we must November as his guest. As Alex writes, the President thank our member Alex Christie for having "sparked" "went him one better" by arranging for the Band to the whole affair. Alex, fired by the excellence of the perform at the White House to a larger audience, of Black Watch's performance in September (which he which our membership formed part. For reasons both says was superior to the Edinburgh Tattoo), suggested happy and inexpressibly sad, i t was an occasion which that President Kennedy attend their return visit i n our members and their families w i l l never forget.

SEPTEMBER MEMBERS MEETING

In keeping with the policy inaugurated last year of holding members meetings in various hotels in the Washington area, the September 23rd meeting was convened in the new Gramercy Hotel. As was the case last year at the Dupont Plaza, Sheraton-Park and Marriott Hotels, the pleasant surroundings in the Gramercy proved equal to the task of enticing a much larger attendance. There were forty members present.

The business portion of the meeting was dispensed with in quick order. We were then entertained by two excellent speakers: John McAdams spoke on "Scot- tish Participation in the French and Indian Wars", and Tom Henderson on "Scottish Heraldry. " Refreshments and good Scot t i shs~c iab i l i t~ rounded out the evening.

Certainly, attendance should increase at future meet- ings now that the prosaic "business meeting" has been replaced by the congenial "members Meeting".

An interest i n Scottish danc- ing led HARRY WAYS to the Saint Andrew's Society some years ago. In addition to teaching dancing classes, Harry and his wife, have been members of TerrC1 t e Society Demonstration Team for the past six years. The last two years they have con- centrated on the solo high- land dances, Toronto with Gla ys For- rester.

stu%ing in

after one year of operations the company was dis- solved.

Since his discharge frorn rhe Air Force and the completion of his formal education Duncan has been employed by the William S, Merrell Company as a pharmaceutical detailman.

Concerning hobbies and leisure pastimes Duncan i s an admitted dilettante having had, at one time or another, a desultory interest i n just about every con- ceivable diversion. His most, recent adventure, in keeping with his abiding love of aviation and related endeavors, was a charter membership in the Potomac Sport Parachute Club. I t must also be noted that he

Born in Cumberland. Marvland. in 1926. Harrv was the Club's first alumnus. served with the united stat& ~ a k i n e carp; durinb Duncan and his wife, Mariann have one daughter - World War II. He then entered Villanova University Suzanne. and received his degree in c iv i l engineering in 1949. In 1954 he received a master's deacee i n sanitarv en- gineering from Johns Hopkins uni;;ersity, and .i; 1948 became a registered professional engineer in the Dis- trict of Columbia. A t present he i s chief of the Dale- carlia Section of the Washington Aqueduct. (The water supply agency for the District of Columbia and Arlington, Va.)

Harry, who served as chairman of the 1963 Tartan Bal I, i s a member of the American Waterworks Asso- ciation and the United States Highland Dancer's Association.

DUNCAN H. MACKENZIE was b o r n in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1924; the son of Henry Arnold Mackenzie, an electrical engineer from Glengarry, Canada, and of Berta R u s s e r t Mackenzie whose ancestry stems from the ranks of lesser German nobility. Duncan received his early schooling at Uni- versity Sc h o o I in Shaker Heights, Ohio a n d later attended Brown University, eventually . - taking hisdegree -

at the European Extension Division of the University of Maryland. Then followed a limited amount of graduate work at Georgetown and George Washington Universities.

During thesecond World War he served as a fighter pi.lot with the Royal Canadian Air Force, and during the Korean War as a jet pilot with the United States Air Force. Duncan has the somewhat dubious distinc- tion of being the only graduate of both pilot training programs.

Between the two unpleasantnesses he was involved in the construction and eventual operation of the first coal reclamation enterprise in the United States. This company, Colrec Corporation of Wheeling, West Vir- ginia, was a subsidiary of the Mackenzie Coal Com- pany of Cleveland. However, outside interference precluded the possibility of reasonable profits and

THE VERY REVEREND FRANCIS B. SAYRE, JR., Fifth Dean of the Washing- ton Cathedral, was born 48 years ago in the White House when his grandfather, Wood- row Wilson, was president. He attended Belmont Hi l l School in Belmont, Massa- chusetts, and was graduated cum laude from Williams College in 1937. He entered Union Theological Seminary in New York City, trans- ferring for his final year to . - . . - . . . . the Episcopal Theological

School at Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Dean Sayre's first assignment was as Assistant Min- ister of Christ Church, Cambridge, Mas?. In 1942 he entered the Navy as a chaplain, serving for 24 months on the USS San Francisco and later on the staff of Ad- miral James Kaufman. He was discharged as a Lieu- tenant Commander, USNR.

Immediately following his release from the Navy Dean Sayre went to Cleveland, Ohio, where, as In- dustrial Chaplain for the Diocese of Ohio, he under- took experimental work in the industrial field. Before coming to Washington he was elected rector of St. Paul's Church in East Cleveland.

In addition to his duties as '~ean of the Cathedral, Dean Sayre i s a member of the President's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity; board member and former chairman of the U. S. Committee for Refugees; member, Advisory Council of the U. S. Committee for the United Nations; member, Advisory Committee on the Arts, National Cultural Center; and board member, Church World Service, National Council of Churches.

In the September 21st issue of the Saturday Evening Post Robert Massie has written an extremely interest- ing article on Francis Sayre entitled "Chaplain to the New Frontier."

THE REVEREND BAYARD S. CLARK, Cathedral Canon of Washington Cathedral and Chaplain of the Saint An- drew's Society, was born in New Haven, Connecticut in 1918, and raised in Geman- town, Pennsylvania where he attended William Penn Charter School. Following his graduation from Har- vard, Bayard married Char- lotte Cushwa of Exe t er, New Hampshire and they have since b e e n blessed with six children. Bayard continued his education at the Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria, and was ordained a priest i n 1 945.

During the summer of 1937 Bayard lived with a family in Sweden i n connection with the Experiment in lnternational Living - an organization of which he has recently become president.

Before coming to Washington in 1960 Bayard served the Church in St. Louis, Missouri, Cape Girardeau, Missouri, Bonne Terre, Missouri, Sikeston, Missouri, Houston, Texas and Nashvil le, Tennessee.

In addition to his many other accomplishments i t i s interesting to note that Bayard spent one year at the University of Pennsylvania studying law. His efforts on behalf of St. Andrew's have been many but he i s most valuable where the Kirkin' 0' The Tartan i s concerned.

Secretary, 2nd Vice-Presi- dent, 1st Vice-presidentand chainan of the Burns' Din- ner are but a few of the var- ious tasks RALEIGH GIL- CHRIST has perfomed for our Society over the years.

Born in Windsor, Ver- mont, in 1893, R a l e i g h traces his ancestry through the Ogilvies and the Mac- Lachlans - the first having come to t h i s country in 1638. Raleigh received his early schooling in Great Falls, Montana, and his A.B. i n Chemistr at the Uni- versity of Montana i n 1915. He then d i J two years of graduate work at Cornell University before serving in the U. S. Amy. After the War Raleigh took his Ph.D. in Chemistry at the Johns Hopkins University.

Upon the completionof his education, Raleigh went to work as a chemist with the National Bureau of Standards in Washington, D. C., retiring on Novem- ber 30, 1962, as Chief of the Inorganic Chemistry Section of the Chemistry Division - and after 45 years service. Specifically, his activity was largely in the inorganic and analytical chemistry of the various metals.

He has served as U. S. Delegate to the International Technical and Chemical Congress of the Agricultural Industries in Paris, 1934; and to the 9th International

Congress of Pure and Applied Chemistry i n Madrid, 1934.

In 1938 Raleigh received the Hillebrand Prize of the Chemical Society of Washington, for the research "A New System of Analytical Chemistry for the Plati- num Metals". In 1950, the Silver Award of the De- partment of Commerce.

SAINT ANDREW'S UNlVERSlTY

Last year our Society made a substantial donation to St. Andrew's University in Scotland from the Char- i t y and Education Fund. With this in mind, the fol- lowing item carried i n Business Automation magazine and submitted by Joe Brown should prove of interest to a l l our members.

"St. Andrew's University in Scotland has ordered an IBM 1620 for installation at the University Ob- t

I servatory. The installation w i l l be the largest in i Europe and w i l l be used for work on the structure and evolution of stars, and in mathematical investi- gations of stel lar interiors and atmospheres. IBM i s assuming over f i f ty percent of the cost.of the installation under the educational contribution plan. "

SAlNT ANDREW'S DAY 1 On the occasion of Saint Andrew's Day, November

30th, our Society received greetings and messages of good cheer from Sister Societies throughout the world. Surely this i s further evidence of the strong ties which bind Scots together - wherever they might be.

COUNTRY DANCING NEWS

HAMILTON, Ontario (Oct. 18-20) - There are many Scots in Canada and they like to dance and how well they do i t too! Once a year the Hamilton Dance Group stages a weekend danceparty at a greatsprawl- ing hotel complex of rooms and restaurants, ballrooms and sport facilities, on the shore of Lake Ontario. Here the Scottish dancers foregather from a l l over Canada and the United States. Quite a large con- tingent came from Washington, Tom Henderson, B i l l and Maureen Smith, Harry and Terry Ways, Marjorie Franklin (who submitted this report), Jennifer Rogers, Jackie and Ron Dunlavey and Doctor Murphy.

SWARTHMORE, Pennsylvania - The Swarthmore Scot- tish dance group, in which our member Robert J. Hunn isvery active, had a wonderful party on October 16th. M i s s Jean Mil ligan, co-founder of the R.S.C. D.S., was present and inspired the group with her wonderful spirit - as she did at Hamilton. The reception and bal I, at which Tom Henderson represented our -Societ , took place in the castle-like mansion of Mr. Jo n Merriam in Wynnewood , Pennsylvania.

I

This photograph of Miss Jean C. Mi tligan, co- founder and vice-president of the Royal Scottish Coun- try Dance Society with Tom Henderson, the writer of this article, was taken in Wynnewood.

To most enthusiasts, in Scotland and the world over, M i s s Mill igan IS Scottish country dancing. Forty ears ago, our national social dancewas in poor state,

ieset with lack of knowledge and unruly practice to an extent where only a handful of dances were ever performed, and those clumsily and rowdily. M i s s Mil ligan's devotion and enthusiasm were responsible for the revitalizing of this aspect of our Scottish heri- tage, by research among old documents and col lection , from only just still surviving sources, of a wealth of information about how the dance was performed in its

heyday. More than 200 old dances have been recov- ered, and the impetus given to make this again a liv- ing tradition, so that new forms are now being invented and published and the dance i s once more a living art along with the bagpipe and other aspects of Scottish culture. Instructors and demonstration teams go out a l l over the world, with the result that a dancer can travel to the ends of the earth and find Scottish danc- ing not only being performed but being performed in conformity with a universal standard, and the visitor can join right in without having to learn a purely local style.

That i s the work of the Society whichMiss Milligan has built. What i s far more difficult to express i s the personality of Miss Mil ligan herself: how she insti l I s into a l l who are fortunate enough to experience her teaching a joy and enthusiasm which evoke the best in them; how she encourages and cajoles, demonstrates and jokes, so that even i f there are fifty or a hundred in a class, each individual feels that he or she i s being helped to produce the utmost in the rhythmic expres- sion and social enioyment which are the hallmarks of the Scottish dance.

NEW BAND EQUIPMENT

KILTS: The American Clan Gregor Society last month presented to the St. Andrew's Society kilts in Ancient MacGregor tartan as Pipe Band uniforms. Accepting the handsome gift, President Tom Henderson spoke warmly of the bond that has always existed between our capital area society and the national Clan Gregor organization and of the new cordiality this concrete expression of friendship wi l l bring. The action by the Clan Gregor Council adds five kilts now to the So- ciety's band equipment and undertakes maintenance of the Band in MacGregor kilts and plaids - but that's not all: Officers, members and friends of the Clan Gregor have made contributions which wi l l purchase more kilts - enough to outfit several more of the pres- ent band members. Names of these pcrtrons of the St. Andrew's Pipe Band wi l l be published in the Clan Gregor Yearbook. Fortunately several of them live in the area and are members of our Society too so that they wi l l hear and see the Band's appreciation of their generosity at the numerous functions on our calendar. But when the Band travels farther afield, as i t plans to do during the Highland Games season, i t wi l l quicken the pulse of a l l those whose pride in their tartan has taken this substantial form. No need to add that the Band's performance at the annual Clan Gregor Gather- ing was we1 l received.

TUNICS: Delivery to the St. Andrew's Society Bag- pipe Band of thirteen new dark green tunics (seen for the first time at the Tartan Ball) h i t a snag early in November when the Customs Department required a payment of a very substantial sum in excess of expec- tations, before release of the shipment. As a result of the immediafegenerosity of member ROBERT WAGGA- MAN, who spontaneously provided the amount needed as a private donation, Customs was satisfied and de- livery obtained without delay. The Society expresses its thanks to Bob Waggaman for his generous gift.

SCOTCH OAT CAKE (From the kitchen of Ralph Ingram)

The Oat Cake, in its simplest form, may be oat- meal, a bit of salt, baking soda and enough water to permit i t to be worked, patted or rolled into a thin cake and then cooked on a griddle or in an oven. However, for the more discriminating Scottish palate a far richer and more sophisticated recipe i s needed. Ralph Ingram, after years of experimentation has suc- ceeded in fi l l ing this need - as those of us who at- tended the last Social Meeting at the Bethesda Naval Officer's Club are well aware.

1 cup flour 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp baking powder 1 tbsp sugar

mix dry and add,

2 cups quick oatmeal

mix,

1/2 cup shortening (butter gives the best flavor) (if a salted shortening i s used reduce salt slightly)

rub in,

1/4 cup milk, add only as needed to permit rolling.

Roll a small handful of the mixture to a thickness of about 1/8", using a well floured rolling pin and board. Cut into squares or triangles, place on a cookie sheet and bake in a 375 degree oven for about ten minutes. BUT WATCH THEM. When they start to brown they go fast.

I FLOWERS 0' THE FOREST

It i s with the deepest regret that we must report the deaths of three members of the Society since the pub- lication of the last newsletter.

ALEXANDER H. EWAN, the Society's oldest member in point of service, died on November 4th at Holy Cross Hospital following a heart attack.

I Alex came to the United States from Dundee, Scot-

I land, in 1905, and ioined the stone contracting firm of Alexander Howie. He supervised the stone con- struction on the buildings of the Department of Com- merce, Interstate Commerce Commission, Labor De- partment, Archives, National Galler and the Interior

1 Department. He worked on the Was L ington National Cathedral with the George A. Fuller Co., with whom he had been associated for the past twenty years.

Alex Ewan served in the Canadian Army during World War I and saw action as an engineer in France, Belgium and Germany.

H. NELSON MOORE, a member of the Society since 1959, died of a heart attack on November 7th while on his way to work.

Nelson came to Washington in 1931 as an exam- iner in the Patent Office. A native of Buffalo, he had received an electrical engineering degree from Cornell University in 1930. While at the Patent Of- fice he attended law school at George Washington University, receiving a degree in 1935. He won a master of laws degree in 1936 and a doctorate in 1938, both from Georgetown.

During World War I1 he served in the Army Signal Corps as a lieutenant colonel. After his discharge he formed the patent law firm o f Moore, Hall and Pollock of which he was senior partner.

LT. COL. WILLIAM C. BUELL, a former secretary of the Society, died on November 27th in Suburban Hos- pital after a heart attack. B i l l recently retired as the Department of State's attache for veteran's affairs in Europe and upon his return to this country had reacti- vated his membership in the Society.

A native of Illinois, Col. Buell moved to Washing- ton State as a boy and graduated from Washington State University. During World War l he left his job at Walla Walla to serve as an aviator and instructor in the Army.

B i l l joined the Federal Board for Vocational Edu- cation, a forerunner of the Veterans Administration, in 1920, but went back into the Army during World War I1 n i t h the 8th Air Force in England. He had served the government 44 years when he retired.

These three Scots who have passed on wi l l be most sadly missed by their many friends i n the Society.
