From the Alumni Office;<br />

The funeral <strong>of</strong> FR. MIKE MULaVIRE brought<br />

a great many alumni to the campus, not only<br />

classmates and coniemponines but many younger<br />

men he knew- and influenced as a teacher, confessor<br />

and vice-president <strong>of</strong> <strong>Notre</strong> <strong>Dame</strong>. May<br />

God grant eternal rest to him and to HARRY<br />

SCOTT <strong>of</strong> Indianapolis, wlio followed him on<br />

Sept. 28.<br />

BILL ANDRES from Mexico writes that he has<br />

not seen JIM LO<strong>GA</strong>N since graduation but had<br />

seen )[ORRI£ STARRETT a couple <strong>of</strong> times.<br />

EDDIE McOSKER and ELMER TOBIN looked<br />

just like Old St. Joe Hallers with themselves and<br />

the surroundings ver>- much more "dressed up"<br />

(picture taken in basement <strong>of</strong> Morris Inn). Mem*<br />

ories <strong>of</strong> BROTHER FLO and the old "Rcc Room"<br />

<strong>of</strong> HOWARD PARKER at the piano while JOHN<br />

CONBOY danced. Of the hot games at the pool<br />

tabic. Of digging the grave <strong>of</strong> St. Joe Hall — to<br />

put wiugs on It and rcchristen it Badin. Of "bun"<br />

carts — waiting on tables — UGH! — what goo-y<br />

chicken floating in sticky yellow gra\'>'! Of all the<br />

ihings wc used to gripe about and now cherish as<br />

•happy memories. Big DUTCH BERG.M.\N'S picture<br />

brought back the time Fr. ED FINNE<strong>GA</strong>N, the<br />

prefect <strong>of</strong> Corby Hall, picked a football team to<br />

play "Dutch's" team in his home town, Peru, Ind.<br />

Onij' 3 few memories remain <strong>of</strong> this game — one<br />

<strong>of</strong> which is the wrong way I went about protecting<br />

a bad knee instead <strong>of</strong> tucking it under me. Also the<br />

lincbacking <strong>of</strong> CARLETON BEH — who certainly<br />

that day \s-as a Sam Huff bom 40 years too<br />

soon. CY DEGREE was just coming up and sprouting<br />

as a punter. His first punt that day went sideways<br />

— so far the game was delayed 10 or more<br />

minutes so they could get the ball back. If I remember<br />

correctly he could kick close to 90 ^-ards<br />

on the fly. We thank Bill for his letter and hope<br />

that you'll write also.<br />

ERNIE "STUFFS"' BURKE made his 5th trip<br />

to Europe — staying In the .•\ustrian .-Mps. Never<br />

heard if he got there — or if he is back — would<br />

appreciate a card from my old roommate.<br />

COMMANDER CAhh, your president, is a<br />

grand fellow and I bear from him and wish that<br />

you guys would write Charlie, as he will pass on<br />

the dope to me and I in turn will have something<br />

to write the ALUMNUS. Any keyhole news about<br />

yourself or classmate — as to any addition to family,<br />

etc. — now that's grandchildren I mean but<br />

please write — write to JOHN F. LAUGHLIN,<br />

Mg. Ed., ALUMNUS. If you kno«- or kn«*- JIM<br />

ARMSTRONG, .Mumni Secretary, write Jim a note<br />

— we u*ant you to know that wc appreciate hearing<br />

from YOU and about YOU. CHARLIE CALL<br />

writes that he took <strong>of</strong>f for Bastille Day in France<br />

— stopping <strong>of</strong>f at Germany, .Austria, England and<br />

Spain — while the Mrs. takes <strong>of</strong>f for New Mexico<br />

with oldest granddaughter to \'isit her sister. The<br />

Commander sent me his school photo album. If<br />

you'd like to "look sec" at Ole Timers' pictures let<br />

us know. BILL BRADBURY is looking 'cm over<br />

now. Understand Call is selling his Hasbrouck<br />

Heights, N.J., home and making his Winter Haven,<br />

Fla., home his permanent abode. Believe you'll find<br />

Charlie a lot more around 1W7 Biltmorc Driv^,<br />

judging from what he writes "Tlie European trip<br />

was fun enough but 1 ran into a heat wave and<br />

came home radicr hurriedly, it was just as hot m<br />

X.J. so I didn't help myself much. Going over ".ve<br />

*\'cnt via Goose Bay, Labrador, and shot across from<br />

there to France in five and one-half hours. Coming<br />

home wc stopped at the .Azores briefly. The Bavarian<br />

Alps seem alwa>-s to thrill me — but after <strong>22</strong><br />

crossings wonder if I shouldn't hang up the shoes."<br />

Hey — did you know that LEONARD M. CALL<br />

class <strong>of</strong> '20 is the Commander's brother?<br />

Sorrv to report that my neiglibor — <strong>Notre</strong> <strong>Dame</strong><br />

man. Class '27 — >L\TrHE\V J. CULLEN, LLB<br />

— husband <strong>of</strong> LaVeme, fatlier <strong>of</strong> Judith Ellen<br />

34 <strong>Notre</strong> <strong>Dame</strong> Alumnus, Year End, 1964<br />

HOWARD V. PHALIN '28 became president<br />

<strong>of</strong> Field Enterprises Educational Corp.<br />

on Oct. 1. The company is the largest<br />

educational publishing concern in the<br />

fvorld and one <strong>of</strong> the "Top 500'' corporations.<br />

In 30 years Howie has held every<br />

executive position in the firm, and as<br />

executive vice-pres. for the past seven<br />

years pushed 87 <strong>of</strong>fices and 50,000 sales<br />

personnel to an annual volume over $100<br />

million. An advisor <strong>of</strong> ND and other<br />

universities, he heads several civic,<br />

religious and charitable organizations,<br />

including a $9 million hospital drive<br />

in Chicago, plus businesses in the<br />

suburbs. Last year he was honored as<br />

a Man <strong>of</strong> the Year by the ND Club <strong>of</strong><br />

Chicago and the Illinois Catholic Women's<br />

Club. Residents <strong>of</strong> Evanston, 111.,<br />

Howie and his wife arc donors <strong>of</strong> the<br />

most striking piece <strong>of</strong> art on the<br />

Northern Indiana landscape, the magnificent<br />

nine-story marble mosaic mural<br />

adorning the south facade <strong>of</strong> the ND<br />

Memorial Library and depicting Christ<br />

the Teacher surrounded by saintly<br />

leaders and scholars <strong>of</strong> all the ages.<br />

prayers and Masses when they learn <strong>of</strong> this sad<br />

news.<br />

Hope to hear from LEO COOK, LLB. Sent him<br />

group pictures; trust he finds 'cm interesting.<br />

Saw BILL GRADY this spring at ND. He looks<br />

great and feels fine. From the regularity with<br />

which Bill returns to the campus one ^vould imagine<br />

that CarroUton, Tex., is within walking distance.<br />

Another real nice ND man.<br />

Have not heard from Att'y G. E. HARBERT —<br />

kinda expected a card from him from Arizona,<br />

where he and the Mrs. \-acationed. Pleased to report<br />

that FR. GEO. HOLDERTTH, CSC is looking<br />

great.<br />

MAX G. KA2US I'll wipe <strong>of</strong>f my list if he<br />

doesn't come through with a letter telling <strong>of</strong> the<br />

"Stunts" he was in while at school. If Max doesn't<br />

I might make up some about him.<br />

Quoting from TO.M KING'S letter addressed to<br />

Call; "Wc (Mrs. K.) were fortunate in that we<br />

were over most <strong>of</strong> the Far East that is available to<br />

travelers except Korea and India. We were particularly<br />

intrigued by Japan; the Philippine Islands,<br />

primarily Northern Luzon; Singapore, Bangkok and<br />

Hong Kong. Wc stopped in Saigon but thc>* did not<br />

let us out <strong>of</strong> the airport. Wc did not enjoy Taiwan.<br />

I think because the people there seemed so ver>'<br />

unhappy. May see you sometime this winter in<br />

Florida." Tom retires in 1966.<br />

I know that I should have contacted Judge<br />

VINCENT a GIBLLN if only \-ia phone — but that<br />

Hibiscus Isle, Miami Beach, address was just too<br />

high tone for my blood and really scared me <strong>of</strong>f.<br />

Had I kno^vn that CHARLIE BACHMAN is at<br />

Pompano Beach I would have called him and that's<br />

for sure. \Vhett west last year, stopped in and J<br />

called on CARLETON BEH; he marked up my list^<br />

and told me to be sure to call on Judge<br />

VINCE GIBLIN. MARK CULLEN, ALLEN \\\<br />

FRITZSCHE, THOM.AS D. MOTT JR.. JOHN L.<br />

REUSS and FREDERICK J. SLACKFORD — tWsh<br />

I had some news about these guys and hope that<br />

next issue I will be able to report some news about<br />

'em and others on the 1918 roster. Missing any word<br />

from JAMES P. (JIM) LO<strong>GA</strong>N. Hope that he is<br />

feeling fine and keeping in touch with JAMES F.<br />

HANLON, who should perhaps be looking fonvartl<br />

to hzinsins in a train load to see ND's new winning<br />

football team.<br />

Wondering if JOHN A. LEMMER Is putting in<br />

as much time fooling around golf as he did in the^<br />

past — or has his second trip to the altar changed"<br />

things?<br />

Seen '"BIG FRANK" RYDZEWSKL He is fine —<br />

putting la a full day's work at his <strong>of</strong>fice playin.^<br />

pinochle — this keeps him olf his sore "dogs.*"<br />

Next time I see Frank gotta ask him about Judge<br />

EDWIN T. BREE.V.<br />

Hope that PETER J. RONCHETTI Is back on<br />

his golf game and has overcome his eye trouble.<br />

Perhaps Pete will drop us a note.<br />

Really I should keep closer touch with quarter<br />

miler JOHN J. VOELKERS. He doesn't live far<br />

from 3303; if I had his phone number I \\*ouId give<br />

him a ring.<br />

Trur, LEO J. VOGEL is a '17er, but us track<br />

men have got to stick together and I appreciate^<br />

hearing from him and learning where In the world<br />

he is and has been.<br />

No word from Doc NEIL J. WHALEN. Wondering<br />

how he and the Mrs. enjoyed their West<br />

Indies cruise.<br />

FR. CHARLES J. WILLIAMS should "bust" in<br />

on the Commander now that they are permanently<br />

there — as I know that he is most welcome b>-<br />

Charlie and the Mrs. They have his room "at thr<br />

ready" at all times.<br />

Still looking for a campus stor>' from LOUIS E.<br />

WAGNER. Personally had a very nice surprise this<br />

summer. Remember when World War I broke? —<br />

The cry was for you to loan your >"acht to the US<br />

for a sub chaser? Mr. Armstrong, Armstrong Bros.<br />

Tool Co., had a boat built according to Naval<br />

spedficatlon' and donated boat SP-960 and crew,<br />

comprised <strong>of</strong> six fellows: Paul, Horace (Skipper)^<br />

John Armstrong, H. Blum, R. Maize and GBW."<br />

All reported and stayed at the Skipper's cottage<br />

at Harbor Springs, Mich. Ever>'one enjoying good<br />

health, as were the five wives. It was the first<br />

meeting in 47 years, ever>'onc having a great time<br />

and hoping that the Skipper invites us back for<br />

the 50tn reunion.<br />

JAMES L. SWEENEY was at ND this June. He<br />

stopped <strong>of</strong>f and saw SHER>VOOD DIXON. Should<br />

h^ve a note from Sweeney to have his report on<br />

his campus visit and also about the pictures that<br />

were sent him.<br />

MORRIE STARRETT could only enjoy one day<br />

on the campus as he had to leave "for my stepmother's<br />

funeral and calm a much worried wife."<br />

Morrie did attend the Monogram Dinner and hac^<br />

his picture taken with the football coach. He aUiV<br />

sat with us, FRED STEERS and "RED" MILLER<br />

at dinner. Miles was also in the picture but I<br />

could not send him a copy as I do not have his address.<br />

Please see that I get it.<br />

Took picture <strong>of</strong> the Square Petunia Corp. directors<br />

at the Morris Inn: JOHN V. Mc-MANMON<br />

(chairman). JOHN MILLER, FRANK RYDZEW-<br />

SKI, BILL GRADY, JOHN FREDERICK and<br />

JOHN SAUNDERS. McManmon had the Monogram<br />

men in stitches about his square petunia<br />

and I mean real belly laughs plus tears, with hi<br />

phone call to LBJ, who had to remind him tha<br />

Ladybird %**a5 on the other end. John was great<br />

and those that knew him stated he was that wawhile<br />

on the campus. I would like to send a pic-^<br />

ture <strong>of</strong> his directors. He gave me his card, bu^<br />

I don't think that Uncle Sam will mail to hi<br />

phone number only without a cit>' or slate. Missin<br />

JOHN SAUNDERS' address also.<br />

Remember, please, 1918'ers, as wc get older -<br />

word from and about you is that much mot<br />

appreciated. So you drop a note now or have yoi'<br />

wife or grandchild send a word to: JIM ARN;<br />

STRONG, Alumni sec'y.; JOHN LAUGHLIN, n:<br />
