Aviation Workshop for Teachers Concludes Successful First Session

Norwich's new Aviation Education Workshop for Teachers closed a six-week summer session at exercises that brought six units of college credit to 20 men and women, most of whom are secondary school teachers.

Designed to give grammar and high school instructors an insight into the teaching values of aviation as an aid in their classroom work, the course was offered for the first time this year by Norwich's new Department of Avia-tion, headed by Prof. Philip S. Hop-kins.

Among those who completed the course were nine Northfield school teachers—Mrs. Guila H. Boardman, Mrs. Bessie K. Johnson, Miss Maxine McNamara, Miss Teresa Kingston, Mrs. Vesta Kempton, Mrs. Laura Chamberlain, Mrs. Ruth S. Mann, Miss Rosa Ritzer, and Miss Priscilla Dole.

Others were Mrs. Velma W. Hodder, Lincoln, Neb.; Miss Judith Nicholson, Denver, Colo.; Miss Mildred M. Whit-tam, Montreal; Miss Betty Carey, Randolph; Miss Jean Cobleigh, Spring-field, Mass.; Miss Jennie Bartlett and Mrs. Lena Hill, both of Montpelier; Lt. Col. William A. Newton, North Ferrisburg; Mr. and Mrs. Louis Lip-schitz, New York City; and Capt. Frank Kattwinkel, Clifton, N. J .

During the six-week session, 16 guest lecturers were heard by the teachers. Names of the visiting speakers and their subjects follow:

National Aviation Group Will Meet At Norwich

The University Aviation Associa-tion, a national organization, will hold its annual meeting for 1954 at Nor-wich next summer, Prof. Philip S. Hop-kins, head of the Department of Avia-tion at Norwich, announced last week.

Professor Hopkins was elected presi-dent of the association at the 1953 meeting held at the National College of Education at Evanston, 111. Dr. Richard Johnson, president of the Na-tional College of Education, was elected vice-president.

The 1954 meeting of the association will be held in connection with Nor-wich's Aviation Education Workshop for Teachers, which ccmpleted its first summer session last month.

The University Aviation Association has a current membership of more than 70 colleges and universities in the United States, all of which have some form of aviation program. Predomi-nant in these university aviation pro-grams are the Air Force ROTC units.

A few other colleges and universities, like Norwich, offer courses in aviation, some directed to the field of aviation administration and others to the tech-nical fields of flight and aeronautical engineering.

One of the founders of the Univer-sity Aviation Association, Professor Hopkins has been active in its affairs and a director since its inception in 1945. A former vice-president of Link Aviation, Inc., he came here in 1952 to become the first head of Norwich's new Department of Aviation.

Questionnaires Arriving— Have You Sent Yours?

Two weeks after Career Question-naires and Opinion Polls were mailed out to 3014 Norwich alumni, over 400 completed returns had been received, and more are arriving in every mail. The P. R. Office tabulation of the first 100 Questionnaires shows:

56 men from the Class of 1933 or earlier.

44 men from the Class of 1934 to 1953.

Of the 100, seven hold master's de-grees, nine hold medical and law de-grees, seven are presidents of or part-ners in business firms, four are vice-presidents and three are treasurers. Six are in active military service, one a colonel, two lieutenant colonels, and the remaining three all officers. A strik-ing number are active in public affairs, two in the federal government, five in state affairs, and 21 in city and town affairs. A total of 86 of the 100 are married, and they have fathered 72 sons and 61 daughters.

The listing of occupations shows 42 in business, 19 engineers, 9 educators, 6 military, 6 public servants, 5 medical profession, 3 in the communications field, 2 chemists, 1 in the newspaper field, and 1 labor union official. Of these, 18 own their own businesses or are doctors or lawyers, an additional 12 are major company officials, and 11 have retired.

The Opinion Poll has brought forth a wealth of viewpoints. It would be premature to note any trends except along general lines. Two things are clear—approval of the Record is unani-mous—definitely 100%—and all seem to feel the present Administration poli-cies are sound. Many have given their concrete support in checks to Living Endowment sent with their Question-naires.

One of the most gratifying results of the Opinion Poll has been the large

number of men who say their firms are interested in employing more Norwich men (and we aren't including those wits who list the Armed Forces as po-tential employers—though we're proud of the record of Norwich men in the Services!)

We are busy typing Questionnaires onto permanent card records, and tabu-lating returns. If you haven't sent yours in yet, please don't delay further. Also, this is not a "glory race." No one wants to have the responsibility of saying anyone is a failure. That is something no questionnaire of this type can show; so please, whether you are a frustrated president or a serene and happy day laborer—fill out your Questionnaire and mail it in!

We will answer personal letters and comments as fast as we can, and some day come up with more "facts about Norwich men." In the meantime, we're sure we're a little nuts to ask for more Questionnaires—almost like the guy who hammers his head because it feels so good when he stops!

Norwich Men Rank High In Summer ROTC Work

The efficiency of Norwich students at summer ROTC camps has won com-mendation from Col. Clayton W Wells, professor of military science and tac-tics. Reports received by Colonel Wells from Fort Knox, Ky., Fort Bel-voir, Va., and Camp Gordon, Ga., dis-closed that Norwich men enrolled there ranked high in military proficiency.

One of them, George C. Ackley of Rutland, was picked as the best cadet in his company of 190 men at Knox. Besides 40 students from Norwich, the company included cadets from Texas A. and M., Ohio State, and New Mexi-co Military Institute.

Cadet Ackley previously had been honored at Norwich in June when he was promoted to top rank, that of colonel, and he will command the Nor-wich regiment when he begins his sen-ior year studies in September

Of the 40 Norwich students who took training in Armor at Fort Knox, 19 ranked in the upper third of the class, 15 in the middle third, and six in the lower third, Colonel Wells was informed.

At Fort Bel voir, where 13 Norwich men trained with the Corps of Engi-neers, eight were in the upper third, three in the middle third, and two in the lower third.

In Signal Corps training at Camp Gordon, Norwich placed ten men in the first third, six in the middle third, and five in the lower third.

Football Practice Will Start Aug. 31

Coach Duke Benz is planning to start football practice Monday, Aug. 31 First game for the Cadets will come three weeks later. Opening a week earlier than usual, the Norwich eight-game schedule carries a contest

Dr Albert Norman Addresses Forum at University of Vermont

Dr Albert Norman, assistant pro-fessor of history and a member of the Norwich Department of Social Sci-ences, spoke to the summer session for-um of the University of Vermont on the use of military force in the conduct of international relations.

Professor Norman stated the view that military force should be employed only as a last resort in the settlement of international differences, and then only if the differences are absolutely funda-mental and involve the national exis-tence. In all other cases, diplomacy should be used to the very limit, since it aims to achieve political, economic, and cultural ends without bloodshed and the tremendous financial burdens that war entails.

In response to a number of queries from the audience, Dr Norman stated that the decision whether and on what scale military action should be taken to force a political decision should be kept in the hands of the proper civilian agencies of our government.

By starting their workouts on Aug. 31, the Horsemen will have three weeks in which to devote full time to the grid sport since academic classes will not begin until Sept. 21

The 1953 Maroon campaign will be the third for Benz as head coach of the Cadets. His first season in 1952 net-ted six victories in eight starts, and last fall the Horsemen won five while losing four to give Benz an 11-6 record in two campaigns.

Following their home opener with the Maine Mariners, the Horsemen will meet St. Michael's away, Spring-field here, and Colby away prior to an open date on Oct. 17

Col. Arnold Amoroso, '18, Ends Long Army Career

From the Natick, Mass., Bulletin Col. Arnold D Amoroso, professor

of military science and tactics at Geor-gia Institute of Technology at Atlanta, Ga., for the past three years, retired from active service on July 31. He is a former Natick resident.

Trained at Norwich University, Col-onel Amoroso began his military career in 1916 when he enlisted in the First Cavalry, Vermont National Guard. He served with this unit along the Mexican Border and the following year was commissioned as a second lieuten-ant. He saw 14 months service in France with the Fourth Anti-Aircraft Battalion.

In between World Wars I and II he was assigned to various Army posts throughout the country, in Hawaii and in the Philippine Islands. At the out-break of hostilities in the Far East in 1941 he was commanding officer of the Anti-Aircraft Gun Group at Fort Mills on Corregidor He held this post un-til the capitulation of U. S. Forces on Corregidor May 2, 1942. For his part in the defense of the Philippine Islands he was awarded the Legion of Merit.

Colonel Amoroso spent three and one-half years as a Japanese prisoner of war. Upon his return to the United States in 1945 he was assigned as in-spector general at Fort Bliss, Texas, and in 1950 to Georgia Tech where he was responsible for training thousands of students to become Army reserve officers.

Colonel Amoroso will remain in At-lanta following his retirement. He lives at 1053 Oakdale Road, N E.

General White, '22, Named Commander of Second Yrmy

Special to the Record from the U S. Army in Korea

Lt. Gen. I D. White, commander of the Tenth Corps in Korea and a 1922 graduate of Norwich University, has been reassigned to the United States to take command of the Second Army with headquarters at Fort Meade, Md.

General White has led troops of the United Nations and the Republic of Korea in combat since August of 1952. He was instrumental in organizing and training an entire new ROK corps which took its place on the fighting front shortly before the truce was de-clared. General White has been a-warded the Republic of Korea's high-est military decoration, the Order of Military Merit, Tae-guk with Silver Star, by President Syngman Rhee.

General White has maintained an active interest in Norwich since his graduation. A former trustee of the university, he was awarded an honor-ary degree of Master of Military Sci-ence two years ago.

Since World War II, in which he fought in eight major campaigns in Europe with the "Hell on Wheels" Second Armored Division, General White has had a variety of commands. He was commandant of the Cavalry School and the Ground General School at Fort Riley, Kan., from July, 1945, to April, 1948.

Then he returned to Europe for three years as commanding general of the famed United States Constabulary and as deputy commanding general of the Seventh U. S. Army After returning to the United States in 1951, he be-came chief of staff of the First Army,

P A G E 6 N O R W I C H R E C O R D , S E P T E M B E R , , 1 9 5 3

and in August, 1951, was assigned as commanding general of the Armored Center and commandant of the Ar-mored School at Fort Knox, Ky

This photo, taken in Korea, shows General White speaking at the dedica-tion of a front-line chapel built by off-duty enlisted men of the 73rd Combat Engineer Battalion, US X Corps.

The chapel, seating 150, was built by volunteer labor of locally quarried rock, less than two miles from the main line of resistance, and approximately 25 miles north of the 38th parallel.

General White said "the chapel will long stand after the U S. Army has left Korea as a monument to men who took time from the very real business of actively fighting communism to build a House of God."

Lt. George Rogers, '51, Cited For Service in Korea

A Commendation Ribbon with Met-al Pendant has been awarded to First Lieut. George A. Rogers, Jr , '51, for his service in Korea from January 19, 1952, to July 5, 1953. He served as

assistant battalion motor officer of Headquarters, 89th Tank Battalion, (90mm Gun) The citation reads as follows

"Displaying great technical know-ledge, leadership qualities of a high or-der and tireless attention to duty, Lieutenant Rogers formed the main-tenance platoon into an integrated, ef-ficient team. Under his direction, the platoon functioned in such a superior manner that no vehicle was ever dead-lined because of a lack of time or per-sonnel to keep it operational. Lieu-tenant Rcigers demonstrated great in-itiative and ingenuity in installing simplified, accurate accounting and distribution procedures in the parts supply section and personally super-vised the training of personnel to in-sure full implementation. On occasions when the tactical situation imposed se-vere stress on men and equipment, he worked long hours under adverse con-ditions of weather and terrain to effect rapid evacuation and repair of dis-abled vehicles. Lieutenant Rogers' ex-emplary performance of duty, con-tributing materially to the success of his unit's operations, reflects great credit upon himself and is in keeping with the high traditions of the United States Army "

Alumni Represent Norwich At College Inaugurations

Maj Gen. Bickford E. Sawyer, T7, Chief of Finance, United States Army, represented Norwich at the inaugura-tion of Maj Gen. William Hammond Milton, Jr., as the eighth superinten-dent of Virginia Military Institute May 1 and 2. The inaugural address was given by Robert T Stevens, Sec-retary of the Army Norwich was sixth in the academic procession in which 31 colleges and universities were represented.

On May 7, Norwich was represented by M. L. Rumrill, '06, of the Sanborn Map Company at the inauguration of Jay Frederick Wesley Pearson as sec-ond president of the University of Mi-ami at Coral Gables, Fla. Norwich was 44th in an academic procession of 392 delegates. Attendance was esti-mated at 3,000. The University of Mi-ami, which has grown to an enrollment of 10,000 in the last 26 years, is still feeling growing pains, and some of the points made by Dr Pearson in his in-augural address will have a familiar ring to Norwich men.

Dr. Pearson said, "With all of us working together, we must make a careful and complete study—to pro-duce a realistic blueprint of our future development — and our educational goals. We need buildings. Funds for these are in part available. We need really adequate endowment to main-tain our physical plant and permit us to develop. We want to move steadily toward ever more effective teaching."

There is no question but that many a delegate from older institutions of learning breathed a fervent "God and your alumni be with you!" on hearing these familiar words.

On May 9, at Cleveland, Ohio, L. L. Bassett, '25, of the Bethlehem Steel Company, representing Norwich, was 31st in an academic procession of 205 college delegates at the inauguration of Dr. G. Brooks Earnest as the third

president of Fenn College. The in-auguration ceremonies, attended by some 2500 persons, were held on the 30th anniversary of Fenn's founding. Fenn grew from an evening education-al program sponsored by the Cleve-land Y.M.C.A. in 1881 A formal col-lege program in cooperative (work-study) education in liberal arts and engineering was established in 1923. Day enrollment now is close to 800, and evening classes enroll nearly 3500 students. Fenn is one of some 40 "co-op" colleges in the United States, and one of four institutions offering co-op education in all its three schools of arts and sciences, engineering, and business administration.

President Earnest is a 1927 graduate of Case Institute of Technology, re-ceiving his master's degree there in 1933. He was a faculty member at Case for 21 years, and was appointed dean of engineering at Fenn in 1951 Vice-president of the American Society of Civil Engineers, he is also active as consulting director of the Cleveland Regional Geodetic Survey

Minton Anderson, vice-president of Alcoa, national vice-president and di-rector of the N.A.M., speaker at the ceremonies, had this to say about col-leges

"Too many subscribe to the cynical view that colleges are asylums where youngsters can be put off to themselves and bother no one but themselves. This is dangerous and frightening, and has allowed American education to be-come so often strangely isolated. It has contributed to the unhealthy sus-picion that exists so frequently between professional educators and the business world. It has allowed the public to swing in now and then and look for termites in the fraternity basements, or endow a stadium or field house, but seldom to feel it has a responsible stake in the educational process or its re-sults."

Class Letters 1903

50-YEAR REUNION

By Samuel L. Fuller, '03 Reunion Organizer

To all who attended the Norwich Class of '03's fiftieth reunion and to those also who would liked to have been there but for various reasons could not make it

Greetings! Having just returned home from an

extended New England trip taken after the Norwich Commencement, I am hastening to send you a report of the "Old Timers" dinner arranged by N. U '03 in celebration of its fiftieth-year graduation anniversary Seven out of 16 accredited members of the Class of 1903 were present, and we were joined by members of adjacent classes so that 25 sat down to a de-lightful dinner at the Pavilion Hotel in Montpelier and spent a happy evening in recalling old times and reminiscing. It was a lot of fun.

The following is a report of the re-sponses to the notices sent out to the Class of 1903

Baker came up from Massachusetts. Barker 's doctor wouldn't let him

come but when I was leaving Vermont we stopped at Bellows Falls and spent a delightful afternoon with him and his charming wife. He is under constant medical treatment. Here's hoping the best for him.

Drown expected to come and had reservations all made to do so, but at the last moment his doctor vetoed the idea for which he was much disappoint-ed.

Dun ton wrote from down in Florida that distance prevented his coming.

Eastman was another victim of doc-dotrs' orders and had to stay home in Milford. So sorry!

Farquharson was first contacted in Honolulu but has since moved back to the mainland and is in San Francisco. He wrote an interesting letter about life in Hawaii.

Flint and his charming wife gave the affair a youthful atmosphere. He was by far the youngest looking fellow there and the same old "K.R.B."

Foster, John Henry himself, came over from Concord, N. H., and his presence added much to the enjoy-ment of the occasion.

Fuller and Mrs. Fuller enjoyed ev-

ery minute of the reunion. It was a great pleasure to see the old fellows again.

Gueira sent a very interesting and enjoyable letter from Cuba, full of reminiscences.

Metzger and Mrs. Metzger seemed to enjoy themselves, and certainly ev-eryone there enjoyed seeing them again.

Peabody and Upham really did the reunion idea up brown. Both being in Dallas, Tex., they got together and had a real reunion all to themselves that earned a whole column in the Dallas Times together with a fine pic-ture of two jolly fellows who looked as though they were enjoying their own

private reunion as much as did those of us who got together in Montpelier

Powers—Yes, sir! John Timmy Powers was there and seemed to get as much pleasure out of it as the rest of the gang did out of seeing him again.

Stocker came over from Salisbury and brought Powers along with him in his car. Stocker's smile is as broad as ever

Williams, Seth, wrote a nice letter full of regrets that he couldn't be with us. Said he was in good health but didn't feel like taking so long a motor trip.

So much for '03. Now as to the other old timers that we were able to

In Texas, Too

217 Sunset Avenue Dallas, Texas

Record Editor Just a line and clipping concerning

two N. U boys of the Class of '03 who now live in Texas.

Neither of us could be there for the '03 reunion, so we decided we would celebrate by having lunch here in Dal-las and talking over old times at N. U

Although Upham has lived in Dallas at two different times, neither of us knew the other was here until Sam Ful-ler of our class sent each of us a list of the names and addresses of the living members of '03. We immediately got in touch with each other with the re-sult shown in the enclosed clipping.

I would be out of touch with old Nor-wich and its growth if it was not for the Record. I enjoy every issue.

HARRY A. PEABODY, '03

From the Dallas News Vermont Class of '03 Holds Dallas Reunion

One of two golden reunions held this

week by the class of '03 of little Nor-wich University, Northfield, Vt., took place in Dallas Friday

This reunion was held 1,500 miles from the hallowed halls of the 134-year-old military college. To be ex-act, this particular reunion was in the lobby of a downtown Dallas hotel, while other surviving members of the class gathered on the Norwich campus.

One-eighth of the sixteen surviving members of the Norwich class of '03 live in Dallas. Unable to make the long trip north, they met for lunch downtown on Friday, instead.

They are Retired Army Col. Francis B. (Yank) Upham, 72, and Harry A. (Peab) Peabody, 73, formerly of the City of Dallas public works depart-ment and a dozen other engineering jobs all over North America.

"I d know him anywhere," said the colonel of his old classmate. "The ac-cent gives him away, even though he hasn't been back to Vermont since 1910. He still sounds like Cal Cool-idge."

What made Friday's reunion especi-ally unusual was that both men had

P A G E 1 0 N O R W I C H R E C O R D , S E P T E M B E R , , 1 9 5 3

contact. First when we got to Northfield we

ran into George Lovell, '99, and his sister, Mrs. Woodbury. George came to the dinner and brought along his musical voice and led the gang in "Auld Lang Syne."

Of all the old timers I believe that Jeff Richardson, '00, got as much of a kick out of the affair as anyone. The adjutant looks as chipper as he always used to.

Richmond, '00, sent his regrets up from Maitland, Fla.

Of the '01 class Irving Ellis carried the flag and brought along his son. Harry Clark expected to join Ellis,

but a telegram received at the dinner contained his regrets on account of a sudden illness. Bass also was not able to make it. Bill Pingree expected to be with us but an ulcerated tooth acted up and prevented the trip. However, as we were driving down out of Ver-mont, when we passed through the town of Hartford I hunted him up at his home and had a nice visit with him while he was hoeing his potatoes.

1902's only representative was Tim-othy Holland who did a fine job as far as it went. Booth, Burr, Hare, Strong and Watson were all unable to be with us, much to our regret. Oh yes! Stub Chase sent a nice letter

lived in Dallas for years, yet neither knew that the other was here until a few days ago.

In fact, they hadn't met since Up-ham left Norwich to accept a West Point appointment. Somewhere along the years, Upham lost most of his New England accent. But at West Point, his instructors had to give him special instruction in commands so he could say "Forward march" instead of "Foh-wud mahch."

Since that time Upham had seen America and most of France with the Army, then lived in Illinois and Col-orado before settling down here for good three years ago.

Peabody, meanwhile had got his en-gineering degree and worked in New England, helped run the six-mile-long Moffett Tunnel through the Colorado Rockies, worked for a railroad in Mexi-co and finally came to Texas for the State Highway Department and the City of Dallas until his retirement three years ago.

For an interlude during World War II, both Upham and Peabody worked at the huge North American Aviation

plant on Dallas' western fringe. But neither one knew that the other was there.

Only when each of them got a form letter from the class reunion organizer, notifying all surviving graduates of where the others lived, did they realize they could stage their own reunion.

Norwich University, said Peabody and Upham, is a proud old school fa-mous for its chemistry and engineering courses and its graduates, who have included Admiral George Dewey of Spanish-American War fame, and Gen. Grenville Dodge, builder of the Union Pacific Railroad.

"We were in uniform and under military rules day and night up there," said Peabody "Not like the A&M's down here—we were really strict."

They reminisced a while longer And then the Dallas Branch of the Norwich University Class of '03 walked into the coffee shop to order lunch.

"Vermont baked beans," said Up-ham.

"With plenty of maple syrup," said Peabody "We're some punkins, aren't we?"

N O R W I C H R E C O R D , S E P T E M B E R , 1 9 5 3 P A G E 11

up from Mexico. Said he was Ok ex-cept for his legs, and I'll admit that that would be a long walk. It would have been fine to have him and Drown favor us with a duet on their bugles— just so that it wasn't "Reveille."

1904, whose 50th year comes next commencement, was well represented by Randall and Russell. Craig Burt wanted to come down from Stowe but at the last moment wired that an in-fection wouldn't let him. He missed a good time and we missed him. I tried my best to pry Eph Gallup out of his rocking chair at Woodstock, but all I could get was a real nice letter say-ing "No." Maybe Eph thought that it wouldn't be safe, as his old back couldn't stand being "Eagled" as he surely would have been asked to do as in days of yore. Russell took some good pictures of the dinner table and gang. 1903 always set a good example for 1904 and tried to bring it up in the way it should go. So now that '03 has started an "Old Timers" reunion, let '04 get busy and go us one better As for yourself, start thinking about put-ting the trip on your schedule for next June. It really was a lot of fun to me to see the old fellows after 50 years or so, and I am sure that you will enjoy it as much if you care to make it next year Hutchinson was the only man

I heard from that pleaded off on ac-count of work. He once retired but was so valuable to his home town, St. Albans, that the city insisted that he go back to work again. Washburn wrote a nice letter but couldn't make it this year

1905 may have fallen down in mem-bers, but in personality and pep she was right there. The only '05 man who was present was his honor Joseph H. Denny, who, while he has never strayed far from his native Northfield, yet has made his presence felt in the Hall of Legislature of Vermont's Capi-tal. Before I left Pittsburgh I had a long distance call from "Dummy" Moore. While he said he couldn't at-tend the reunion, he wanted me to ex-tend to all those present his best wish-es, etc. Both Ross and Sinclair were sorry not to be with us as was also Booth. I couldn't get a rise out of Deal, and Holden said "No."

We also contacted the only remain-ing professor who tried to install some intelligence into 1903, but we were too late. Prof. Carleton was sorry that a previous engagement prevented his being with us. However, we did have with us as our guests, John Mazuzan and Mrs Mazuzan. John heads up the Alumni Office, and we are very grateful to him for a lot of assistance

which he gave to us. Taking it all in all, I am quite sure

that it was an enjoyable affair for all who attended.

Now, if 1904 comes across with an announcement of an "Old Timers" af-fair in 1954, start planning to attend it. You won't regret any effort it may take.

Thanks to all of you for responding so promptly to all my epistles, and here's wishing for each of you continued peace and contentment. 3955 Bigelow Blvd. Pittsburgh 13, Pa.

40-Year Reunion

The July Record gives an excellent report on commencement, and there is little that could be added for a report of the Class of 1913. The fact that the Alumni Cup for attendance was won by the Class of 1913 in itself was evidence of the fine turn-out we had. The Record carried a list of members of the class who were present, we had anticipated having Howard Richmond, Ted Shaw, and Howard Butler with us but for some reason they were unable to attend and, of course, their presence was missed as were many others whom we had hoped could make it. In our endeavor to get as many back to the reunion as possible, a "first" report was received from "Sid" Marble now located in Daytona Beach.

Thanks to Max Ayers for the very delightful dinner which was arranged for at the Montpelier Country Club on Saturday, June 6. A very enjoyable, informal evening was had, and as usual

Piker Murray and Bill Hayes were the life of the party They arrived under the personal care of Ned Allen of the Class of 1914, and neither Piker nor Bill were feeling any pain.

Of course, the absentee members got a great deal of attention as to where and how they were getting along since those wonderful days when we were together long ago which we seem to appreciate more and more as the years roll on.

The sympathy of the class was unan-imous for Christy Mathewson who has been laid up for several months and is now recuperating and for Plug Bur-well who is in the hospital in Long Beach, Calif.

We were unfortunate in not being able to have Colonel Tompkins with us as it was necessary for him to stay with Mrs. Tompkins that evening. Felicitations were extended to Colonel and Mrs. Tompkins as well as to Mrs. Harmon who was recovering from a re-cent surgical operation.

From the letters I have received from some of those who were present at the reunion, apparently everyone enjoyed themselves and had a marvelous time. It is certainly great to get back on the HiLl occasionally

Of course, we are all deeply affected by the untimely death of our class-mate, Fremont Lovett, who had only the week before attended his first re-union of the 1913 Class.

It is swell to observe the marvelous progress that has been made in the last three years on the Hill which has been so well reflected in the Record.

Sid Marble has written that shortly after World War I he moved to Florida and rode the bubble both up and down. It was necessary for him to stay in Florida in deference to Mrs. Marble's health, and he had a lot of varied ex-perience in the roofing business while bringing up two daughters. His young-est daughter is a very accomplished pianist, is now studying in New York,

and expects to move to Denver Sid is very proud of his family

A letter has come to me from Mrs. Taft, wife of Leroy C., better known to all of us as Bill. It discloses that Bill has been under the weather since October, 1941, when he suffered a cere-bral hemorrhage. At that time he was employed as a textile superintendent of the Packard Mills in Webster, Mass. He and Mrs. Taft now reside in Union, N H.

30-Year Reunion

Several of the members of our class worked overtime to try to make the attendance at our 30th Reunion great-er than that of our 25th, but it did not seem to be in the cards.

The preliminaries started at the Alumni Headquarters where John Ma-zuzan, Shorty Hamilton and Herb Rea did an excellent piece of work mellow-ing up us old-timers and making us feel right at home. Peter Dow Web-ster did his share, too. We all sure appreciated the grand job they did.

The main event took place at the Montpelier Tavern on Saturday eve-ning, June 6. Those present were Col. and Mrs. Richard T Willson, Bob and Mrs. Bradley, Hoyt and Mrs. Bat-tey, Tom and Mrs. Co wen, Larry and Mrs. Eaton, Ulmer and Mrs. Jewett, and Dr Bill and Mrs. Leet. The stags ' were Hon. Gibby Gibson, A. P Davis,

and Harry Stoneman. Due to the many awards at the Re-

treat Parade, we were a little late in getting under way, but the mixture of Old Crow and Vermont Turkey went well together, and it was not long be-fore things started to happen.

At one point during the evening's events, things could have become SNAFU, but again the Old Crow, work-ing in harmony with the Vermont Tur-key, kept the ship on an even keel. It all came about when one member of our class (I am not mentioning any names, but usually judges don't stick their necks out like that) suggested that all the men by secret (?) ballot guess the age of one of the wives. Was it Aesop who said, "Curiosity killed the cat"? We went through with it, and let's leave it there.

We were glad to have our class presi-dent, Dick Willson, with us this year I think he said that this was the first commencement he had attended since 1928.

Using a 1923 War Whoop in which we appeared as seniors, Dick named each member of our class and we tried to bring each up-to-date. This was

rather difficult as far as some were con-cerned since they had not been heard from since 1923. In most every in-stance someone present could give some information, however, about each individual. We were all glad to get this chance to hear what had be-come of our various members.

All in all, it was a very enjoyable gathering, and we sure hope we can get an even better turnout at next year's commencement. You will note that I did not say next reunion. Let's take it a year at a time from now on.

1933 20-Year Reunion

By Dexter B. Johnson Reunion Organizer

Our reunion dinner was held Satur-day evening, June 6, at the Brown Derby in 'Pelier Attendance was good. It included 21 classmates and 13 of their wives. The acting secretary, in the absence of Doc Steele, forgot to make a list of those present at the time, and that evening, with the ever increas-ing distillation of liquor fumes, he nev-er did find out all the wives' first names. To avoid embarrassment not only to the pro-tem secretary but also to the wives, classmates in the following list who are starred had their wives pres-ent. It might be added that the gals are a good looking lot, and they added much to the occasion.

Present Harry Aiken, Winston An-derson, Fran Billado, Mel Boomer*, Loyd Brownell*, Bob Burley*, Si Car-penter*, Charlie Clark*, Maury Chaf-fin, Frank Gamsby, D. B. Johnson*, Frank Koziell, Chet Laythe*, Steam-boat Martin, Doc Mersheimer*, Art Mitchell, Jim Quirk*, S. R. Smith*,

Bill Stockman*, L. D. Taylor*, and Bill Wright*

Clarke Bunting telephoned from Kansas City, Mo., to extend his greet-ings to the class and express his regret at not being present. His call reached "D.B." at 3:00 A. M. Sunday morn-ing! Brownell took care of the dinner reservations and deserves the thanks of the class for a fine job.

Classmates who made the reunion had an enjoyable time. (We hope that their wives did also.) The pro-tem sec-retary feels sorry for you fellows who were unable to make it, plans are now going forward for our twenty-fifth.

15-Year Reunion

Our 15th reunion in June was far from a howling success so far as num-bers were concerned. There were only four of us who managed to creep back to the Hill for the festivities—Ray Clausen, Darrell Rathbun, Chris Vra-chos, and your secretary

Ray must have holed up in some se-cluded nook or cranny and hibernated for Chris was the only one who saw him, and that was but for a short time. Rathbun and Vrachos had an elongated conversation for an evening, and then Chris, too, disappeared, only to return to the dance on Saturday night to re-port he and spouse were leaving for civilization. D. T and I were left to uphold the honor of '38 from that point.

We had our reunion dinner as guests of the Class of '43. (A great many thanks to '43 for their invitation.)

It must be that members of '38 suf-fer badly from writer's cramp for I re-ceived replies from a mere handful. With my War Whoop in hand, the fol-lowing is a brief summary of what has gone on about whom. Some of it may be out of date by now If it is, drop me a postal card, and I will see that it is corrected.

Doug Adams, Phil Baird, Phil Balcom, 4'Brownie'' Brown, all fail-ed to reply

Craig Burt also did not reply, but I understand he is working for GE in Indiana.

Henry Butterfield, no reply Jack Butterfield, no reply Jack is a Lt. Col, USMC, and the last I knew he was in Camp Pendleton, Calif.

Ray Clausen, no reply, but he did sign in on the alumni register. What

happened to you, Ray? Larry Cleve-land, no reply

Les Cross was last reported to be at Ft. Meade, but the grapevine tells me he is in Europe.

Scroob Currier, Paul Gallus, Jun-ior Glidden, all failed to reply

Col. Hartwell, no reply, but I do know he is with GE, and lives in West Groton, Mass. Bucky Hatfield lives in Lebanon, N. H., and is principal of the high school.

Dan Healey, no reply, but again the grapevine tells me he has moved from 'Pelier to the mid-west. Johnny Johnson, address unknown.

Johnny Howe, no reply, but he lives in Claremont, N. H., and nearly owns the town, I understand. Bill Jordan, Tiger Lucey, no replies.

Bart Mann lives in Woodsville, N. H., is a thriving druggist, selectman, and what have you. Bill McElhenny is a Lt. Col. currently somewhere in Europe.

Johnny McGrath, no reply, but the last I knew he was principal of a secondary school in Exeter, N. H. Red Moran, another Lt. Col., is stationed in The Hague. Ronnie Ragno cur-rently is teaching at LaSalle Military

George Sanders, no reply, but my little bird tells me he lives in Baldwin, L. I. Johnny Sawyer If you need money see Johnny, he has piles of it just to give away, with reservations. Currently his address is Augusta, Me. Have had several telephone conversa-tions with him, but haven't seen him since '38. George Smith, address un-known.

Wally Taylor Remember those nice fitting uniforms we got our Rook year? Wally liked them so much he is with them, but not as a model for he weighs better than 200 pounds.

Nappy Shaka, a Major and resid-ing at Riverside, Calif. Abner Smith, no reply Chris Vrachos still lives in Gloucester, and is in the construc-tion game. Wes Williams, address un-known.

Ben Willis is a full chicken Col. and currently stationed in Europe. He deserted the Cavalry to become a fly-boy Windy Winburn, Rod Wood-Ward, no replies. Bob Nilsson, ad-dress unknown. Bob seems to have disappeared completely from sight. I have yet to hear from anyone who knows his whereabouts.

Just in case you are interested, yours truly is still in Lyndonville, teaching at Lyndon Institute and currently en-gaged in remodeling a house. If any of you are driving by, drop in. We live a weak stone's throw off US 5 nearly in the middle of town. I am anxious to have a word from any and all, those words or those fit to print will be relayed to the Record for sub-sequent publication. Sorry more of you were not at the reunion.

that he and Pat Sickels Gould have reached a stalemate. No additions to the family since 1948. Bud is still holding forth with Factory Mutual Life for the information of those who are a little short on insurance. Finally found out who his kids were and so they are Carol, 7, and Dexter, 5 You are below average for our class, Bud, but there is plenty of time. Address 15 Tremont St., Reading, Mass.

Date line Hudson, Mass. Howie Dinsmore finally crawled

out of some poor patient's mouth long enough to say he got through the war O.K. He did some dental training somewhere since he says he is a den-tist. After marrying he produced two kids, Sheryl, 5, and Earl 3, and in his letter he put Earl first so he's probably a little partial towards the he. Howie's addresses are Business, 21 Main St., Home, 1 Plant St.

Date line Chattanooga, Tenn. I called old Jack McGauley on the

phone when I arrived in Chattanooga, and you should have heard what came over the wire. The drawl was so thick you couldn't have cut it with a razor Sounded just like a damned Rebel. Jack and Dot still have just three kids, Jack, J r , Michael, and Molly, and I can't blame them for not having more. You never saw so many horses, chickens and hogs in your life, and that isn't all, they even have a pea-cock. When anyone talks about Coun-try Gentlemen, they are certainly talk-ing about Jack. The Old Homestead has 37 acres here and there, and it is

only seven miles from Chattanooga. Not much farming here so he has an-other little plot of 150 acres across the river from Chat where he grows the feed for his menagerie. Address: Route 4, Chattanooga, Tenn.

Date line Boston, Mass. As Uncle Sam got into a wee bit of

hot water and needed my help for a short time, Bob Valentine 's memoirs di t not get published but at long last here they are. Bob left N. U for Har-vard after his second year He, like the rest of us, spent a few years filling out a uniform and again like some of us went to work for his Dad. Bob is in the photographic business if any of you need a passport photo. He probably has more children now but there are at least two, Steven, 8, and Judith, 3. His wife's name is Marcia, and his busi-ness address is 132 Boylston Street, Boston.

10-Year Reunion

Our tenth reunion was a great suc-cess for all.

When assembly sounded Friday af-ternoon, Joe Savoldi was the first to sign the register and George Conlon was the last, on Saturday night.

Several had last-minute engage-ments or unforeseen happenings that prevented the intended total of 30 alumni, who had said originally they planned to be there. You missed a good time, and we missed having you share the fun. As it was, we had 17 returnees.

Yours truly blew into Northfield a-round 2 P M . Friday and spent the af-ternoon in the Alumni Office till 5:30. Rangner Hedberg and his wife and family came at 3 P M., and we "batted the breeze" for some time.

Saturday on my return to North-field we made our first click as a group and remained in some semblance of one through Sunday noon. The first one I bumped into was Johnny Novak. While we were chinning for a moment, in blew Frank Jillson and his wife. After they registered, we all went up on the Hill and met Harry Furness, Tom Breese and his wife in front of Dewey Hall.

From here we went on a tour of the library, which by the way, is one of the most marvelous changes of the inside of an old building I have ever seen. From the library we started on a trip to the college store and met up with Phil Marsilius.

After scrutinizing the souvenirs and taking a few snapshots, we trekked

N O R W I C H R E C O R D , S E P T E M B E R , 1 9 5 3 P A G E 2 1

over the Hill to the Armory for the band concert. Here we met up with Scrib Allen.

It might be well to remark that Nor-wich's band and glee club can match anything Harvard or Yale have and more. For a military school, Norwich has remarkably accomplished musi-cians, they can far excel many profes-sionals.

From the band concert, we began to assemble for the luncheon. In front of White Hall we were joined by Norm Anderson, Rangner Hedberg and his wife. Soup Suverkrop gave a short hello before he left to fill a short hour's engagement with some trout or bass in the Dog River.

The luncheon was the best I had ever attended at any commencement from every standpoint. General Har-mon impressed all with his outline of Norwich.

After the luncheon we adjourned to the Dugout in the Theta Chi basement. Here, we set up unofficial headquar-ters for the remainder of commence-ment and then began to reminisce and catch up on each one's achievements in the last ten years.

Around 3 P M. in popped Ed Alex-ander and his wife and Lester Rysnik and his wife. Warren Mell of 44 join-ed us as he and Jimmy Powers were '44's sole representation at commence-ment.

By 5 we were in fine shape for the Alumni Parade. Poor Peter Dow Webster, who was struggling to get all the reunion classes to stand still long enough for photos, finally made it af-ter the second try It was here that Ed Suverkrop rejoined us (with no fish) and Gene Roy and his wife ar-rived. Low and behold Jumping Joe Savoldi made his first appearance. Roger Collins and his wife and Dave Robinson and his wife joined us in time for them to hear Peter Dow's sec-ond cry, "Watch the birdie."

Editor's Note The picture proved to be a photographic fail-ure and left the Record without pictorial representation for the '43 reunion group.

All the afternoon we had been sound-ing old and ancient with our ten years. But we were the "cow's tail" on the alumni parade (no representation from '48), so we were young again.

Time had now brought us to our climax of the commencement—our re-union dinner The early arrivals found thirst quenching cocktails served in Norm Anderson's rooms till 8 P M . George Conlon and his wife made the deadline before appetizers were set out. Col. Rathbun and his wife and A1 For-rest of Lyndonville and his wife, of the class of '38, and Warren Mell of '44 joined with us at our dinner Although we made considerable noise, we heard no complaints from Krub Flint's re-union in the adjoining room.

Again all returned to Northfield fo** the dance. From the dance we made our way back to Theta Chi porch. Here the night air was filled with howls and growls that were supposed to rep-resent our singing of various Norwich songs. With all cares gone and all problems solved, we all retired to the arms of Morpheus at 2 A. M.
